Wait Mode
The resultant 16-bit address is used for specifying the start address of the FLASH memory for block
protection. The FLASH is protected from this start address to the end of FLASH memory, at $FFFF.
With this mechanism, the protect start address can be $XX00, $XX40, $XX80, and $XXC0 (64 bytes
page boundaries) within the FLASH memory.

Start of Address of Protect Range
$80
The entire FLASH memory is protected.
$81 (1000 0001)
$E040 (1110 0000 0100 0000)
$82 (1000 0010)
$E080 (1110 0000 1000 0000)
and so on...
$FE (1111 1110)
$FF80 (1111 1111 1000 0000)
$FF
The entire FLASH memory is not protected.
Note: The end address of the protected range is always $FFFF.
11.8 Wait Mode
Putting the MCU into wait mode while the FLASH is in read mode does not affect the operation of the
FLASH memory directly, but there will not be any memory activity since the CPU is inactive.
The WAIT instruction should not be executed while performing a program or erase operation on the
FLASH, otherwise the operation will discontinue, and the FLASH will be on Standby Mode.
11.9 STOP Mode
Putting the MCU into stop mode while the FLASH is in read mode does not affect the operation of the
FLASH memory directly, but there will not be any memory activity since the CPU is inactive.
The STOP instruction should not be executed while performing a program or erase operation on the
FLASH, otherwise the operation will discontinue, and the FLASH will be on Standby Mode
NOTE
Standby Mode is the power saving mode of the FLASH module in which all
internal control signals to the FLASH are inactive and the current
consumption of the FLASH is at a minimum.
