GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The A29DL32x family consists of 32 megabit, 3.0 volt-only flash memory devices, organized as 2,097,152 words of 16 bits each or 4,194,304 bytes of 8 bits each. Word mode data appears on I/O0–I/O15; byte mode data appears on I/O0–I/O7. The device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard 3.0 volt VCC supply, and can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
ARCHITECTURAL ADVANTAGES
■ Simultaneous Read/Write operations
    - Data can be continuously read from one bank while executing erase/program functions in other bank
    - Zero latency between read and write operations
■ Multiple bank architectures
    - Three devices available with different bank sizes (refer to Table 2)
■ Package options
    - 48-ball TFBGA
    - 48-pin TSOP
■ Top or bottom boot block
■ Manufactured on 0.18 µm process technology
    - Compatible with AMD AM29DL32xD device
■ Compatible with JEDEC standards
    - Pinout and software compatible with single-power-supply flash standard

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
■ High performance
    - Access time as fast as 70ns
    - Program time: 7µs/word typical utilizing Accelerate function
■ Ultra low power consumption (typical values)
    - 2mA active read current at 1MHz
    - 10mA active read current at 5MHz
    - 200nA in standby or automatic sleep mode
■ Minimum 1 million write cycles guaranteed per sector
■ 20 Year data retention at 125°C
    - Reliable operation for the life of the system

SOFTWARE FEATURES
■ Supports Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI)
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
    - Suspends erase operations to allow programming in same bank ■ Software temporary sector/sector block unprotect command
■ Software sector protect/unprotect command
■ Data Polling and Toggle Bits
    - Provides a software method of detecting the status of program or erase cycles
■ Unlock Bypass Program command
    - Reduces overall programming time when issuing multiple program command sequences

HARDWARE FEATURES
■ Any combination of sectors can be erased
■ Ready/Busy output (RY/BY )
    - Hardware method for detecting program or erase cycle completion
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET)
    - Hardware method of resetting the internal state machine to reading array data
■ WP /ACC input pin
    - Write protect ( WP ) function allows protection of two outermost boot sectors, regardless of sector protect status
    - Acceleration (ACC) function accelerates program timing
■ Sector protection
    - Hardware method of locking a sector, either in-system or using programming equipment, to prevent any program or erase operation within that sector
    - Temporary Sector Unprotect allows changing data in protected sectors in-system
