MSP430F6726A: Program and erase endurance

Hello,

I found this in the Debugging Flash Issues on the MSP430 Family of Microcontrollers app note.

Flash endurance is a measure of the number of erase and write cycles that a flash array can achieve while retaining data integrity. Endurance on MSP430 MCUs is specified to be a minimum of 10000 read/write cycles, but they typically fulfill 100000 read/write cycles. MSP430 Flash Memory Characteristics provides a detailed description of flash endurance and the factors that affect this specification.

If your application is at risk of pushing the limits of flash endurance, consider writing a flash wear leveling algorithm or switching to one of TI's FRAM-based MSP430 microcontrollers.

James
