https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/23382/speed-of-reading-from-flash-address-with-nrf52840Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone benchmarked the time for reading a word from flash on the nRF52840. I was able to find the write/erase time on the specs document but was not able to find anything about the reading speed (I apologize in advanceden-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 02 Oct 2017 23:22:09 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/91914?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 02 Oct 2017 23:22:09 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d6f48a55-c6f0-4123-9d1e-53d7bf36105bsuperpak<p>Were you able to get any read times? If so, can you please share? Thanks!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/91915?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 10 Jul 2017 16:46:43 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:c66b36b2-0211-4211-9e2d-fbc5c9ca575eHung Bui<p>Hi Jay,</p> <p>I don&#39;t have a value, but reading from flash, directly using the address, should be very short, could be a few instruction (few clock cycles needed), just to clock the data from flash to CPU&#39;s register and then to RAM via AHB bus. I don&#39;t think the NVMC module involved here. Only when you do write or erase then the NVMC module needed. Other than that it&#39;s just direct access from CPU to AHB.</p> <p>I would suggest to toggle a pin when you do a read from flash (access the flash word directly with its address) and toggle it again after you finish, and use a logic analyzer to check the pulse.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
