App note from Infineon on the basics of flash memories and their failure analysis recommendations. Link here (PDF) Nonvolatile memory devices (like Flash) are often used in embedded applications that rely on the storage of system configuration, dynamic data, or both. This data needs to be retained during a power interrupt or power cycle. Engineers […]

App note: Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) Introduction
App note from Macronix on how SFDP help easily use serial flash. Link here (PDF) Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard provides a consistent method of describing the functional and feature capabilities of Serial Flash devices in a standard set of internal parameter tables. These parameter tables can be interrogated by host system software to […]
App note: Enhancing system security with Macronix(TM) flash
Technical note from Macronix about built-in and hardware security strategies on their flash memories. Link here (PDF) Attacks on a system typically alter or copy the content of the Flash image for three primary reasons, which are to: operate the system in an unauthorized manner with the purpose of committing fraud against the user or […]
