4 Embedded Flash memory (FLASH)
for category 2 devices
4.1

Introduction

The Flash memory interface manages CPU AHB ICode and DCode accesses to the Flash
memory. It implements the erase and program Flash memory operations and the read and
write protection mechanisms.
The Flash memory interface accelerates code execution with a system of instruction
prefetch and cache lines.
