1 INTRODUCTION
Substituting external EEPROM with emulated EEPROM from the embedded-Flash of the Mi-
crocontroller is a complex development. This application note assumes that readers are al-
ready familiar with the techniques used to secure the content of evolutive information in
external EEPROM of embedded applications.
This application note is organized in 3 parts:
– description of the differences between external EEPROMs and embedded-Flash,
– general description of EEPROM emulation concept,
– introduction to embedded application aspects.
Although this application note is focused and applicable to ST10F269, ST10F280, ST10F276
(and its derivatives: ST10F275, ST10F273, ST10F272, ST10F271), ST10F252 and
ST10F296, most of its content is not dependent on the microcontroller.
