that doesn't mean you can use it as EEPROM!!! on an EEPROM you can rewrite one byte, but on flash, you have to erase a full sector in order to rewritre a byte. so, if you are changing full sectors of data then yes you can use it but if you are changing multiple bytes an deverytime you change a byte you arase a sector you can ware it out quickly. I guess the answer would depends on how many times you need to erase a sector in your product life cycle Gus --- In lpc2000@yahoogroups.com, "varuzhandanielyan" <dan@x> wrote: > > In the new data sheet for LPC2129 one can see, that minimal > write cycles is 100,000 as many as of the data EEPROM of many > microcontrollers. > > Varuzhan > > > --- In lpc2000@yahoogroups.com, "acetoel" <acetoel@y...> wrote: > > > > Hello... > > > > I also though about that, never implement ir becuase the Flash has a > > limited cycles of life.
