Notes:
1. To preserve data integrity, each page of a DataFlash sector must be updated/rewritten at least once within every 2,000
cumulative page erase/program operations.
2. A Page Address Pointer must be maintained to indicate which page is to be rewritten.
3. Other algorithms can be used to rewrite portions of the Flash array. Low-power applications may choose to wait until 2,000
cumulative page erase/program operations have accumulated before rewriting all pages of the sector. See application note
AN-4 (“Using Atmel’s Serial DataFlash”) for more details.
