I looked at the data sheet for the 10F322 after your original post.. =20 The endurance is 10K minimum Erase/Write cycles. Since Erase/Write=20 cycles are performed on entire rows, there is no difference between cell=20 endurance and row endurance. Flash memory is intended as program memory, and 10K program changes=20 seems reasonable. It CAN be used as data storage, but 10K is not a lot=20 for that purpose. If you need to store data that changes a lot, you=20 should pick a chip with EEPROM on it, or use something external like the=20 MCP79410.
