AMIC Technology A29L040L-70F

General Description

The A29L040 is a 3.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as 524,288 bytes of 8 bits each. The 512 Kbytes of data are further divided into eight sectors of 64 Kbytes each for flexible sector erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on I/O0 - I/O7 while the addresses are input on A0 to A18. The A29L040 is offered in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP (8mm x 20mm) or sTSOP (8mm x 13.4mm) packages. This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 3.0 volt VCC supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for in-system write or erase operations. However, the A29L040 can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

Features

■ 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 for compatibility with high performance 3.3
volt microprocessors
■ Access times:
- -55(Vcc: 3.0 ~ 3.6V) / -70 (max.)
■ Current:
- 4 mA typical active read current
- 20 mA typical program/erase current
- 1 nA typical CMOS standby current
■ Flexible sector architecture
- 8 uniform sectors of 64 Kbyte each
- Any combination of sectors can be erased
- Supports full chip erase
- Sector protection:
A hardware method of protecting sectors to prevent
any inadvertent program or erase operations within that
sector
■ Embedded Erase Algorithms
- Embedded Erase algorithm will automatically erase the
entire chip or any combination of designated sectors
and verify the erased sectors
- Embedded Program algorithm automatically writes and
verifies bytes at specified addresses
■ Minimum 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector
■ 20-year data retention at 125°C
- Reliable operation for the life of the system
■ Compatible with JEDEC-standards
- Pinout and software compatible with single-powersupply Flash memory standard
- Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Data Polling and toggle bits
- Provides a software method of detecting completion of
program or erase operations
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
- Suspends a sector erase operation to read data from,
or program data to, a non-erasing sector, then
resumes the erase operation
■ Package options
- 32-pin DIP, PLCC, TSOP (8mm x 20mm), sTSOP
(8mm x 13.4mm), sTSOP (8mm x 14mm)
- All Pb-free (Lead-free) products are RoHS compliant
