2.3 Flash Data Retention

Data retention of any flash is the ability to retain its programmed state. Flash data retention is known to degrade over temperature. Various tests and methods are in place to determine the reliability of flash. This application report mainly addresses the concept of accelerated test and the use of statistics to predict reliability.
