4.18.5 NVMCTRL with HEF
Non-Volatile Memory Controller with High-Endurance Flash
4.18.5.1 Introduction
The NVM module provides run-time read and write access to the Program Flash Memory (PFM), Data Flash Memory (DFM) and Configuration bits. This NVM module features High-Endurance Flash (HEF) memory instead of the standard EEPROM.
