37.10.3 Embedded Flash Characteristics
The maximum operating frequency is given in Table 37-24 but is limited by the Embedded Flash access time when the pro-
cessor is fetching code out of it. Table 37-24 gives the device maximum operating frequency depending on the FWS field of
the MC_FMR register. This field defines the number of wait states required to access the Embedded Flash Memory.
Notes: 1. FWS = Flash Wait States
2. It is not necessary to use 2 or 3 wait states because the flash can operate at maximum frequency with only 1 wait state.
