Read This First

This reference guide describes the operation of the embedded flash EEPROM module on the TMS320F20x/F24x digital signal processor (DSP) devices and provides sample code that you can use in developing your own software. The performance specifications of the embedded flash memory have been evalu- ated using the algorithms and techniques described in this guide. TI does not recommend deviation from these algorithms and techniques, since doing so could affect device performance. The book does not describe the use of any specific flash programming tool nor does it describe the external interface to the DSP. For information about any aspect of the TMS320F20x/F24x devices other than the embedded flash EEPROM module, see Related Documenta- tion from Texas Instruments on page v.

How to Use This Manual

There are several stand-alone flash programming tools for TMS320F20x/ F24x generation of DSPs. Using one of these stand-alone tools with the TMS320F20x/F24x requires only a basic understanding of the flash opera- tions. More information about these flash programming tools is available on the TI web page, http://www.ti.com. This guide is intended to provide a complete understanding of the flash operations. This level of understanding is necessary for making modifications to existing flash programming tools or for developing alternative programming schemes.

Algorithms in the Overall FlowPRELIMINARY PRELIMINARYPRELIMINARY 3.2 Programming or Clear AlgorithmFigure 3±2. The Programming Algorithm in the Overall Flow PRELIMINARYThe main feature of the program/clear algorithm is the concept of program- ming an entire row of bits in a group. The F20x/F24x flash array is organized in rows of 32 words. That is, addresses 0000h through 001Fh are physically located on the same row of the flash memory array. The array is designed so that there is a dependence between the charge levels on adjacent even±odd addresses during programming. Programming the bits of an odd address re- duces the charge margin of the programmed bits the 0s in the preceding ad- jacent even address within the row. Similarly, programming the bits of an even address reduces the charge margin of the programmed bits in the next adjacent odd address within the row. Because of this dependence, if each address is programmed individually, the charge levels among programmed bits is not uniform. The programming algorithm improves the uniformity of charge levels on programmed bits by programming all of the words of a row in a group. For example, the contents of address 0000h is compared with the data to be programmed and one program pulse is applied if necessary. The same procedure is performed on addresses 0001h through 001Fh. The proce- dure repeats starting at address 0000h until no more program pulses are re- quired for any address in the row. The number of iterations of this loop equals the maximum number of program pulses required to program the bits in the row PRELIMINARYPRELIMINARY Programming or Clear Algorithm Figure 3±3. Programming or Clear Algorithm FlowPRELIMINARY PRELIMINARYPower up the VCCP pin PRELIMINARYPRELIMINARY PRELIMINARY PRELIMINARYProgramming or Clear Algorithm Before each program pulse is applied, a read of the byte is performed to deter- mine which bits have reached the programmed level. Any bits that have reached the programmed level are masked set to 1 in the WDATA register. This method of programming provides uniform charge levels among pro- grammed bits, whereas using a single, long program pulse could result in some bits having much more charge than others. The uniformity of charge lev- els among bits has the primary effect of reducing programming time and the secondary effect of reducing the time for a subsequent erase operation. To as- sure that the bits are programmed with enough margin, the reads associated with programming use the VER0 read mode PRELIMINARYPRELIMINARY PRELIMINARY 3.3 Erase AlgorithmFigure 3±4.

Steps for Applying One Flash-Write Pulse PRELIMINARYPRELIMINARY Flash-Write Algorithm Figure 3±7. Flash-Write Algorithm FlowPRELIMINARY PRELIMINARYThe CPU frequency range for the application is an important consideration for the depletion test, as well as for the program and erase operations. Because of the actual implementation of the flash memory circuitry, a bit in depletion mode is most easily detected at low frequency. Accordingly, if the application requires a variable CPU clock rate, the depletion test should be performed at the lowest frequency in the range. Only the read portion of the depletion test must be performed at the lower frequency, because it is the read that is used to detect depletion. The effective duration of the read operation can be ex- tended by sequentially executing multiple reads on the same location. Be- cause the same address is selected the entire time and internal control signals are maintained between reads, the final read is equivalent to a slow read. For example, if the DSP core is executing the programming algorithm at a CLKOUT rate of 20 MHz 50 ns, sequentially reading a location three times is equivalent to reading it once at 6.67 MHz 150 ns. The erase and flash-write algorithm implementations given in Appendix A use three reads to check for depletion PRELIMINARYPRELIMINARY PRELIMINARY PRELIMINARYPRELIMINARY Assembly Source Listings and
