3.1 How the Algorithms Fit Into the Program-Erase-Reprogram Flow
The algorithms discussed in this chapter can be used to reprogram the 'F20x/F24x flash module multiple times. The clear algorithm, erase algorithm, and
The programming algorithm and the clear algorithm are both implementations of the program operation. The difference between the two is the data that is written: the programming algorithm programs the user data, while the clear al- gorithm uses all 0s. All of the algorithms can be viewed as portions of a single flow diagram, as shown in Figure 3±1.
Note that in the algorithm flowcharts, the variable X represents the number of attempts at depletion recovery using the
