As datasheet says, flash endurance min value = 10,000.
Isn&amp;#39;t there max value?
There is no limited life cycle for flash? 
 I just wnat to estimate its life cycle. 
 I need your help.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 03 Nov 2017 01:46:33 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/26552/how-many-times-can-i-write-erase-internal-flash" /><item><title>RE: How many times can i write/erase internal flash?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/104471?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Nov 2017 01:46:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4ca6c87f-51a4-4b0f-8961-faa30aaccc63</guid><dc:creator>roger.k</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much for your help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How many times can i write/erase internal flash?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/104470?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Nov 2017 00:06:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:bbafcb9c-f6a6-4387-9094-39ab16c9da18</guid><dc:creator>superpak</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should use the 10,000 erase/write cycle value to estimate the life of the device. Basically what this means is you can reliably perform NVM operations on the flash memory up until 10,000 erase/write cycles. You can still perform NVM operations even after 10,000 erase/write cycles, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to reliably perform the NVM operations once this value is exceeded. They gave you a min value to indicate that this is the number of erase/write cycles for reliable NVM operations. Beyond that you are on your own!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
