Hi
 
Yeah we contacted a distributor of PQI flash memory. They sent us a wear leveling formula.
 
Here it is:
 
Example: A 256MB flash device writing 128KB data into flash device the formula as below: ( With wear leveling ).
DOM Lifetime ( Theory ) = (256MB-100MB)*100K*0.95 / (128KB/sec) *60*60*24= 1340.06 days
# “0.95” : After the flash being format the capacity might lower than the certain capacity.# “60*60*24” : 86400 writing times per day. 1 time /sec# ”100MB” : The size of your OS & AP. In this case we set it as “100MB”#“128KB/sec”: The data size that writing onto flash device per second.# ”100K” : The limitation of flash memory’s P/E cycles.
 
P.S. : NAND type flash (Small block) : 1 Block = 32 page * 512byte = 16KBNAND type flash (Large block): 1 Block = 64 page * 2Kbyte = 128KBIf the data less than 128KB we recommend you still calculate it with 128KB.
 
 
NOW.. I am truly confused :)
 
 
Juan
