Embedded Flash
AT91SAM7S Series Summary
Flash Overview
Embedded Flash Controller
The Flash benefits from the integration of a power reset cell and from the brownout detector.
This prevents code corruption during power supply changes, even in the worst conditions.
When Flash is not used (read or write access), it is automatically placed into standby mode.
The Embedded Flash Controller (EFC) manages accesses performed by the masters of the sys-
tem. It enables reading the Flash and writing the write buffer. It also contains a User Interface,
mapped within the Memory Controller on the APB. The User Interface allows:
The Embedded Flash Controller also provides a dual 32-bit prefetch buffer that optimizes 16-bit
access to the Flash. This is particularly efficient when the processor is running in Thumb mode.
Two EFCs are embedded in the SAM7S512 to control each bank of 256 Kbytes. Dual plane
organization allows concurrent Read and Program. Read from one memory plane may be per-
formed even while program or erase functions are being executed in the other memory plane.
One EFC is embedded in the SAM7S256/128/64/32/321/161/16 to control the single plane
256/128/64/32/16 Kbytes.
