13.5. Flash Write and Erase Guidelines
Any system which contains routines which write or erase Flash memory from software involves some risk
that the write or erase routines will execute unintentionally if the CPU is operating outside its specified
operating range of VDD, system clock frequency, or temperature. This accidental execution of Flash modi-
fying code can result in alteration of Flash memory contents causing a system failure that is only recover-
able by re-Flashing the code in the device.
To help prevent the accidental modification of Flash by firmware, the VDD Monitor must be enabled and
enabled as a reset source on Si1010/1/2/3/4/5 devices for the Flash to be successfully modified. If either
the VDD Monitor or the VDD Monitor reset source is not enabled, a Flash Error Device Reset will be
generated when the firmware attempts to modify the Flash.
The following guidelines are recommended for any system that contains routines which write or erase
Flash from code.
13.5.1. VDD Maintenance and the VDD Monitor
1. If the system power supply is subject to voltage or current "spikes," add sufficient transient protection
2. Make certain that the minimum VDD rise time specification of 1 ms is met. If the system cannot meet
3. Keep the on-chip VDD Monitor enabled and enable the VDD Monitor as a reset source as early in code
Notes:


4. As an added precaution, explicitly enable the VDD Monitor and enable the VDD Monitor as a reset
5. Make certain that all writes to the RSTSRC (Reset Sources) register use direct assignment operators
6. Make certain that all writes to the RSTSRC register explicitly set the PORSF bit to a 1. Areas to check
13.5.2. PSWE Maintenance
7. Reduce the number of places in code where the PSWE bit (b0 in PSCTL) is set to a 1. There should be
8. Minimize the number of variable accesses while PSWE is set to a 1. Handle pointer address updates

table are not exceeded.
this rise time specification, then add an external VDD brownout circuit to the RST pin of the device that
holds the device in reset until VDD reaches the minimum device operating voltage and re-asserts RST
if VDD drops below the minimum device operating voltage.
as possible. This should be the first set of instructions executed after the Reset Vector. For C-based
systems, this will involve modifying the startup code added by the C compiler. See your compiler
documentation for more details. Make certain that there are no delays in software between enabling the
VDD Monitor and enabling the VDD Monitor as a reset source. Code examples showing this can be
found in “AN201: Writing to Flash from Firmware," available from the Silicon Laboratories website.
On Si1010/1/2/3/4/5 devices, both the VDD Monitor and the VDD Monitor reset source must be enabled
to write or erase Flash without generating a Flash Error Device Reset.
On Si1010/1/2/3/4/5 devices, both the VDD Monitor and the VDD Monitor reset source are enabled by
hardware after a power-on reset.
source inside the functions that write and erase Flash memory. The VDD Monitor enable instructions
should be placed just after the instruction to set PSWE to a 1, but before the Flash write or erase
operation instruction.
and explicitly DO NOT use the bit-wise operators (such as AND or OR). For example, "RSTSRC =
0x02" is correct, but "RSTSRC |= 0x02" is incorrect.
are initialization code which enables other reset sources, such as the Missing Clock Detector or
Comparator, for example, and instructions which force a Software Reset. A global search on "RSTSRC"
can quickly verify this.
exactly one routine in code that sets PSWE to a 1 to write Flash bytes and one routine in code that sets
both PSWE and PSEE both to a 1 to erase Flash pages.
