GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Am29LV017B 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

   — 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 0.35 µm process technology

■ High performance

   — Full voltage range: access times as fast as 90 ns

   — Regulated voltage range: access times as fast as 80 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

■ 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
