This application note provides software guidelines and examples for programming ST10F269 and ST10F280. It also shows the differences between ST10F269/ST10F280 and ST10F168.
This document serves as a technical guide for developers working with ST10 variants featuring 0.35um technology and embedded Flash memory, specifically focusing on the ST10F269 and ST10F280 models. It outlines key features of these chips compared to previous versions like the ST10F168 and stand-alone flash memories.
| Technology Node | 0.35um |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | Single 5 volt supply |
| Standard Block Size | 64 Kbyte |
| Boot Block Sizes | 16 Kbyte, 8 Kbyte, 8 Kbyte, 32 Kbyte |
| Chip Erase Cycles | Maximum 16 cycles |
The main differences include a single supply requirement, a new Erase/Program Controller that allows CPU usage during programming, and improved granularity of block sizes.
No, it does not require a specific programming supply as on-chip charge pumps provide the necessary voltage from an external single 5 volt supply.
Yes, it can be re-used with few modifications because the Erase/Program Controller is derived from the Common Flash memory Interface.
