Am29PDL127H
128 Megabit (8 M x 16-Bit) CMOS 3.0 Volt-only, Page Mode Simultaneous Read/Write
Flash Memory with Enhanced VersatileIO
TM
Control
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
ARCHITECTURAL ADVANTAGES
■
128 Mbit Page Mode device
— Page size of 8 words: Fast page read access from random
locations within the page
■
Single power supply operation
— Full Voltage range: 2.7 to 3.6 volt read, erase, and program
operations for battery-powered applications
■
Simultaneous Read/Write Operation
— Data can be continuously read from one bank while
executing erase/program functions in another bank
— Zero latency switching from write to read operations
■
FlexBank Architecture
— 4 separate banks, with up to two simultaneous operations
per device
— Bank A: 16 Mbit (4 Kw x 8 and 32 Kw x 31)
— Bank B: 48 Mbit (32 Kw x 96)
— Bank C: 48 Mbit (32 Kw x 96)
— Bank D: 16 Mbit (4 Kw x 8 and 32 Kw x 31)
Enhanced VersatileI/O
TM
(V
IO
) Control
— Output voltage generated and input voltages tolerated on all
control inputs and I/Os is determined by the voltage on the
V
IO
pin
— V
IO
options at 1.8 V and 3 V I/O
SecSi
TM
(Secured Silicon) Sector region
— Up to 128 words accessible through a command sequence
■
■
— Up to 64 factory-locked words
— Up to 64 customer-lockable words
■
Both top and bottom boot blocks in one device
■
Manufactured on 0.13 μm process technology
■
20-year data retention at 125°C
■
Minimum 1 million erase cycle guarantee per sector
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
■
High Performance
— Page access times as fast as 20 ns
— Random access times as fast as 55 ns
■
Power consumption (typical values at 10 MHz)
— 55 mA active read current
— 25 mA program/erase current
— 1 μA typical standby mode current
SOFTWARE FEATURES
■
Software command-set compatible with JEDEC 42.4
standard
— Backward compatible with Am29F and Am29LV families
■
CFI (Common Flash Interface) complaint
— Provides device-specific information to the system, allowing
host software to easily reconfigure for different Flash devices
■
Erase Suspend / Erase Resume
— Suspends an erase operation to allow read or program
operations in other sectors of same bank
■
Unlock Bypass Program command
— Reduces overall programming time when issuing multiple
program command sequences
HARDWARE FEATURES
■
Ready/Busy# pin (RY/BY#)
— Provides a hardware method of detecting program or erase
cycle completion
■
Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
— Hardware method to reset the device to reading array data
■
WP#/ ACC (Write Protect/Acceleration) input
— At V
, hardware level protection for the first and last two 4K
word sectors.
— At V
IH
, allows removal of sector protection
— At V
, provides accelerated programming in a factory
setting
■
Persistent Sector Protection
— A command sector protection method to lock combinations
of individual sectors and sector groups to prevent program or
erase operations within that sector
— Sectors can be locked and unlocked in-system at V
CC
level
Password Sector Protection
— A sophisticated sector protection method to lock
combinations of individual sectors and sector groups to
prevent program or erase operations within that sector using
a user-defined 64-bit password
