Data in the “Typ.” column is at TA = 25°C and VDD = 3.0V unless otherwise specified. These parameters are not tested and are for design guidance only.

* These parameters are characterized but not tested in production.

Note:
  1. During Chip Erase, the Brown-out Detector (BOD) configured with BODLEVEL0 is forced ON. The erase attempt will fail if the supply voltage VDD is below VBOD for BODLEVEL0.
  2. The number of times a separate location may be erased/written before a full refresh (erase/write) of the EEPROM array is required.
