Figure 23-2. Algorithm for Randomly Modifying Data

Notes: 1.

To preserve data integrity, each page of an DataFlash sector must be updated/rewritten at least once within every

20,000 cumulative page erase and program operations.

A page address pointer must be maintained to indicate which page is to be rewritten. The auto page rewrite com-

mand must use the address specified by the page address pointer.

Other algorithms can be used to rewrite portions of the flash array. Low-power applications may choose to wait

until 20,000 cumulative page erase and program operations have accumulated before rewriting all pages of the

sector. See application note AN-4 (“Using Serial DataFlash”) for more details.
