INTERNAL MEMORY
6.5 Programming the Internal Flash Memory
6
(2) Page Program command
The internal flash memory is programmed one page at a time, each page consisting of 256 bytes (lower
addresses H’00 to H’FF). To program the flash memory, write the Page Program command (H’4141) to any
address of the internal flash memory and then the program data to the address to be programmed.
The protected flash memory blocks cannot be accessed for write by the Page Program command.
Page programming is automatically performed by the internal control circuit, and whether the Page Program
command has finished can be known by checking the Flash Status Register 1 (FSTAT1) FSTAT bit. (See
Section 6.4.2, “Flash Status Registers.”) While the FSTAT bit = "0" (busy), the next programming (by the
Page Program command) cannot be performed.
START
Write the Page Program command
(H'4141) to any address of
the internal flash memory
Write the program data to the internal flash
memory address to be programmed (Note 1)
Write the next program data to the
previously programmed address + 2
NO
Finished programming
one page?
YES
Internal flash memory is programmed
by Page Program (Note 2)
Wait for 1 µs
(using a hardware or software timer)
NO
FSTAT bit = 1
YES
NO
TIME OUT?
Read any address of the internal flash
0.5s
memory (Note 3) to check for programming

Forcibly terminated

NO
Last address?
YES
END
Note 1: Start programming from the beginning of a 256-byte boundary (lower address H'00).
Note 2: When a programming operation started, the internal flash memory is automatically readied to run the Read Status command,
so that there is no need to enter the Read Status command until another command is entered.
Note 3: Inspect the Flash Status Register 2 ERASE (erase status), WRERR1 (write status 1) and WRERR2 (write status 2) bits to check
for programming error.
