Cost-Effective Field Reprogrammable Code - Flash Memory Technology
Kurt Robinson · SAE technical papers on CD-ROM/SAE technical paper series · 1988
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.
