FM0 Memory Architecture The Flash memory is made up of 4 blocks (see Figure 11):
1. The memory array (user space) 16-KB.
2. The Extra Row.
3. The Hardware security bits.
4. The column latch registers.
User Space This space is composed of a 16-KB Flash memory organized in 128 pages of 128 bytes.
It contains the user’s application code.
Extra Row (XROW) This row is a part of FM0 and has a size of 128 bytes. The extra row may contain infor-
mation for boot loader usage.
Hardware security Byte The Hardware Security Byte space is a part of FM0 and has a size of 1 byte.
The 4 MSB can be read/written by software, the 4 LSB can only be read by software and
written by hardware in parallel mode.
Column Latches The column latches, also part of FM0, have a size of full page (128 bytes).
The column latches are the entrance buffers of the three previous memory locations
(user array, XROW and Hardware security byte).
