Embedding non-volatile memory (NVM) intellectual property (IP) blocks in system-on-chip (SoC) designs are essential for storing a variety of different forms of data:  encryption keys for access control, trimming data for analog and mixed-signal IP blocks, small amounts of boot code, among others.  Each of these variables may change over time, for example to revoke access, adjust for wear in analog and mixed signal IP blocks, correct or change boot code.
