What extent of programming can be realized with the available 4kB of flash memory?
A. 4kB of flash memory is significant memory space for a sensor application. As an example, one can store a program performing the following functions in less than 4kB of flash memory: 1) Measure one differential input 2) Measure two single-ended inputs 3) Read a non-chip temperature sensor 4) Read VDD 5) Set two analog outputs 6) Set alarm trip points using GPIO pins 7) Implement a 2nd-order compensation function. Of course, programming expertise is always a factor in how efficiently the memory space is used.
