Cost-Effective Field Reprogrammable Code - Flash Memory Technology

Flash” nonvolatile memory technology, unleashes new power for automotive electronics. It provides field reprogrammability at a fraction of the cost of conventional E² PROM due to its similarity to the cost-effective E² PROM. It is now feasible for control programs to be modified over time as dictated by vehicle wear. The designer can implement systems which are modified via external interface or even create “intelligent” self-reprogrammed machines.
