1.fRead is defined as the frequency range for which the FLASH memory can be read.

2.tRCV is defined as the time it needs before the FLASH can be read after turning off the high voltage charge pump, by clearing HVEN to 0.

3.tHV is defined as the cumulative high voltage programming time to the same row before next erase. tHV must satisfy this condition: tNVS + tNVH + tPGS + (tPROG x 32) tHV maximum.

4.Typical endurance was evaluated for this product family. For additional information on how Freescale defines Typical Endurance, please refer to Engineering Bulletin EB619.

5.Typical data retention values are based on intrinsic capability of the technology measured at high temperature and de-rated to 25°C using the Arrhenius equation. For additional information on how Freescale defines Typical Data Retention, please refer to Engineering Bulletin EB618.
