There are two flash memory programming modes: wide voltage mode and full speed mode. The supply voltage value 
applied to the microcontroller during write operations and the setting information of the user option byte for setting of the 
flash memory programming mode determine which mode is selected. 
When a dedicated flash memory programmer is used for serial programming, setting the voltage on GUI selects the 
mode automatically.

Power Supply Voltage (VDD)  User Option Byte Setting for Switching to Flash Memory 
Programming Mode 
Flash Programming Mode 
Flash Operation Mode  Operating Frequency 
2.7 V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5 V  Blank state    Full speed mode 
HS (high speed main) mode  1 MHz to 32 MHz  Full speed mode 
LS (low speed main) mode  1 MHz to 8 MHz  Wide voltage mode 
LV (low voltage main) mode  1 MHz to 4 MHz  Wide voltage mode 
2.4 V ≤ VDD < 2.7 V  Blank state    Full speed mode 
HS (high speed main) mode  1 MHz to 16 MHz  Full speed mode 
LS (low speed main) mode  1 MHz to 8 MHz  Wide voltage mode 
LV (low voltage main) mode  1 MHz to 4 MHz  Wide voltage mode 
1.8 V ≤ VDD < 2.4 V  Blank state    Wide voltage mode 
LS (low speed main) mode  1 MHz to 8 MHz  Wide voltage mode 
LV (low voltage main) mode  1 MHz to 4 MHz  Wide voltage mode 
Remarks 1.  Using both the wide voltage mode and full speed mode imposes no restrictions on writing, erasing, or 
verification.
