[quote userid="135120" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/113307/typical-or-maximum-flash-write-erase-cycles"]2. In the nrf52840. flash write erase cycles are min. 10000, what is the typical or maximum count?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Min value provided&amp;nbsp; means that we guarantee that it will work for sure for the first 10000 write cycles at the same address. We don&amp;#39;t list the max of average number as this can vary from device to device.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote userid="135120" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/113307/typical-or-maximum-flash-write-erase-cycles"]1. If the write erase cycles limit is reached for certain page of the flash, only that page is going to be affected or the full memory? I think it will the page only, but need to clarify[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;So full memory will not effected, only area/page written to.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
