11.3.2.2 Page Buffer Load

The page buffer is loaded by writing directly to the memories, as defined in the memory map. EEPROM has a separate page buffer, while Flash and User Row share the same page buffer, so only one section can be programmed at once. Use the address’s Least Significant bits (LSb) to select where to write the data in the page buffer. The resulting data will be a binary AND operation between the new and the previous content of the page buffer. The page buffer will automatically be erased (all bits set) after:
  • A device Reset
  • Any page write or erase operation
  • A Clear Page Buffer command
  • A device wake-up from any sleep mode
Note: Any operation on the page buffer will halt the CPU until the previous NVMCTRL operation (command) is completed.
