21.3.5.1 Flash Read Command
This command is used to read the contents of the Flash memory. The read command can start at any valid
address in the memory plane and is optimized for consecutive reads. Read handshaking can be chained; an
internal address buffer is automatically increased.
21.3.5.2 Flash Write Command
This command is used to write the Flash contents.
The Flash memory plane is organized into several pages. Data to be written are stored in a load buffer that
The Flash memory plane is organized into several pages. Data to be written are stored in a load buffer that
corresponds to a Flash memory page. The load buffer is automatically flushed to the Flash:
before access to any page other than the current one
when a new command is validated (MODE = CMDE)
The Write Page command (WP) is optimized for consecutive writes. Write handshaking can be chained; an
internal address buffer is automatically increased.
