2.4 Operating speed
2.4.1
Flash circuit version
The speed of the flash devices is not highly dependent upon the supply voltage. However, by limiting the
temperature range, the speed can be increased. The minimal guaranteed speed as a function of the supply voltage
and maximal temperature operating temperature is given in Figure2-2.

The maximal speed of the device depends on the setting of the NFASTREAD pin. If NFASTREAD=1, the full 8k
instructions of the memory are available and the speed is limited to 2-3MIPS. If NFASTREAD=0, only 4k
instructions are available but the speed is doubled.
Important Note
The circuit has to be programmed for the correct option of the NFASTREAD pin. If not, the execution of the
software may not be correct.
