Section 20 Flash Memory (0.35-μm F-ZTAT Version)
20.7.2
When erasing flash memory, the erase/erase-verify flowchart shown in figure 20.8 should be
followed.
1. Prewriting (setting erase block data to all 0s) is not necessary.
2. Erasing is performed in block units. Make only a single-bit specification in the erase block
3. The time during which the E bit is set to 1 is the flash memory erase time.
4. The watchdog timer (WDT) is set to prevent overprogramming due to program runaway, etc.
5. For a dummy write to a verify address, write 1-byte data H'FF to an address whose lower two
6. If the read data is not erased, set erase mode again, and repeat the erase/erase-verify sequence
20.7.3
All interrupts, including NMI input, are disabled when flash memory is being programmed or
erased, and while the boot program is executing in boot mode. There are three reasons for this:
1. Interrupt during programming or erasing might cause a violation of the programming or
2. If the interrupt exception handling is started when the vector address has not been programmed
3. If an interrupt occurred during boot program execution, it would not be possible to execute the
