What is the difference between Flash and EEPROM?
Datasheets of the microcontroller, specify Flash endurance of 10k W/E cycles while EEPROMS 100K W/E Cycles. Also Wikipedia claims Flash to be cheaper than EEPROM and also that the reason for shorter endurance is that Flash is writen and erased in blocks while EEPROM can be edited byte by byte. So Flash has more wearing across it's life.
Why the cost difference?
Thank you.
