The Motorola Flash Story
The superior features and performance of Motorola’s Flash greatly aid in the development of
cost-effective industrial applications.
Many applications need to store a small amount of data in a non-volatile fashion that can be updated in
the field. This can be configuration data for a specific installation, the state of the unit before it was
turned off, data associated with specific users, or a host of other data. The nature of this data requires it
to be updated under software control, must be programmed quickly, and is typically some form of data
structure that must be updated on a word-by-word basis. In a typical design, this requires an EEPROM
storage device or memory block. The unique properties of Motorola Flash technology allow the Flash
to very effectively emulate EEPROM. For this emulation, the features required in the Flash are a small
erase block size; high Flash endurance; no special programming voltages; Flash that can be
