4 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The ST7 dual voltage High Density Flash
(HDFlash) is a non-volatile memory that can be
electrically erased as a single block or by individu-
al sectors and programmed on a Byte-by-Byte ba-
sis using an external V
The HDFlash devices can be programmed and
erased off-board (plugged in a programming tool)
or on-board using ICP (In-Circuit Programming) or
IAP (In-Application Programming).
The array matrix organisation allows each sector
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting
other sectors.

4.3 STRUCTURE
The Flash memory is organised in sectors and can
be used for both code and data storage.

erasing of the whole Flash memory when only a
partial erasing is required.

4.3.1 Read-out Protection
Read-out protection, when selected, provides a
protection against Program Memory content ex-
traction and against write access to Flash memo-
ry. Even if no protection can be considered as to-
tally unbreakable, the feature provides a very high
level of protection for a general purpose microcon-
troller.
In Flash devices, this protection is removed by re-
programming the option. In this case, the entire
program memory is first automatically erased and
the device can be reprogrammed.
Read-out protection selection depends on the de-
vice type:
– In Flash devices it is enabled and removed
– In ROM devices it is enabled by mask option
through the FMP_R bit in the option byte.
