AM29LV017D-90EI

16 Megabit 2M x 8Bit CMOS 3V-only Uniform Sector Flash Memory

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Am29LV017D is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes. The device is offered in 48-ball FBGA and 40-pin TSOP packages. The byte-wide x8 data appears on DQ7–DQ0. All read, program, and erase operations are accomplished using only a single power supply. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS

■ Single power supply operation

   — 2.7 to 3.6 volt read and write operations for battery-powered applications

■ Manufactured on 0.23 µm process technology

   — Compatible with and replaces Am29LV017B device

■ High performance

   — Access times as fast as 70 ns

■ Ultra low power consumption typical values at 5 MHz

   — 200 nA Automatic Sleep mode current

   — 200 nA standby mode current

   — 9 mA read current

   — 15 mA program/erase current

■ Flexible sector architecture

   — Thirty-two 64 Kbyte sectors

   — Supports full chip erase

   — Sector Protection features:

      A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent any program or erase operations within that sector

      Sectors can be locked in-system or via programming equipment

      Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code changes in previously locked sectors

■ Unlock Bypass Program Command

   — Reduces overall programming time when issuing multiple program command sequences

■ Embedded Algorithms

   — Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and erases the entire chip or any combination of designated sectors

   — Embedded Program algorithm automatically writes and verifies data at specified addresses

■ Minimum 1,000,000 write cycle guarantee per sector

■ 20-year data retention at 125°C

   — Reliable operation for the life of the system

■ Package option

   — 48-ball FBGA

   — 40-pin TSOP

■ CFI Common Flash Interface compliant

   — Provides device-specific information to the system, allowing host software to easily reconfigure for different Flash devices

■ Compatibility with JEDEC standards

   — Pinout and software compatible with single power supply Flash

   — Superior inadvertent write protection

■ Data# Polling and toggle bits

   — Provides a software method of detecting program or erase operation completion

■ Ready/Busy# pin RY/BY#

   — Provides a hardware method of detecting program or erase cycle completion

■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume

   — Suspends an erase operation to read data from, or program data to, a sector that is not being erased, then resumes the erase operation

■ Hardware reset pin RESET#

   — Hardware method to reset the device to reading array data

■ Command sequence optimized for mass storage

   — Specific address not required for unlock cycles
