●GENERAL DESCRIPTION
●The Am29LV160D is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes or 1,048,576 words. The device is offered in 48-ball FBGA, 44-pin SO, and 48-pin TSOP packages. The word-wide data (x16) appears on DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0. This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 3.0 volt VCC supply. A 12.0 V VPP or 5.0 VCC are not required for write or erase operations. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
●DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
●■ Single power supply operation
● — Full voltage range: 2.7 to 3.6 volt read and write operations for battery-powered applications
● — Regulated voltage range: 3.0 to 3.6 volt read and write operations and for compatibility with high performance 3.3 volt microprocessors
●■ Manufactured on 0.23 µm process technology
● — Fully compatible with 0.32 µm Am29LV160B 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
● — 20 mA program/erase current
●■ Flexible sector architecture
● — One 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one 32 Kbyte, and thirty-one 64 Kbyte sectors (byte mode)
● — One 8 Kword, two 4 Kword, one 16 Kword, and thirty-one 32 Kword sectors (word mode)
● — 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
●■ Top or bottom boot block configurations available
●■ 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
● — 48-pin TSOP
● — 44-pin SO
●■ 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 (not available on 44-pin SO)
●■ 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
