flash memory, but will instead update location A%32 in the page buffer. The PAGEN field in the
Flash Command (FCMD) register will at the same time be updated with the value A/32.
Figure 8-2. Mapping from Page Buffer to Flash
Internally, the flash memory stores data in 64-bit doublewords. Therefore, the native data size of
the Page Buffer is also a 64-bit doubleword. All locations shown in Figure 8-2 are therefore dou-
bleword locations. Since the HSB bus only has a 32-bit data width, two 32-bit HSB transfers
must be performed to write a 64-bit doubleword into the Page Buffer. The FLASHCDW has logic
to combine two 32-bit HSB transfers into a 64-bit data before writing this 64-bit data into the
Page Buffer. This logic requires the word with the low address to be written to the HSB bus
before the word with the high address. To exemplify, to write a 64-bit value to doubleword X0
residing in page X, first write a 32-bit word to the byte address pointing to address X0, thereafter
write a word to the byte address pointing to address (X0+4).
The page buffer is word-addressable and should only be written with aligned word transfers,
never with byte or halfword transfers. The page buffer can not be read.
The page buffer is also used for writes to the User page.
Page buffer write operations are performed with 4 wait states. Any accesses attempted to the
FLASHCDW on the HSB bus during these cycles will be automatically stalled.
Writing to the page buffer can only change page buffer bits from one to zero, i.e. writing
0xAAAAAAAA to a page buffer location that has the value 0x00000000 will not change the page
