10.2 Flash Memory

The UCD91xxx flash memory is composed of the following sections: Program flash, where the device firmware is stored, and Data flash, where the user configuration data is stored.

Program flash is written during Texas Instruments' manufacturing process. It contains device firmware, what makes the UCD91xxx device behave as a digital power sequencer.

Data flash holds non-volatile device configuration and other operational data. The UCD91xxx devices also log information about faults to data flash.

The UCD91xxx stores the firmware, configuration settings, and fault log information in flash. The configuration data settings will have a main and backup copy in memory. Each section has its own unique cyclic redundancy check (CRC).
