General Description
The A29L008 is an 8Mbit, 3.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as 1,048,576 bytes. The data appear on I/O0 - I/O7. The A29L008 is offered in 40-pin TSOP package. 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 A29L008 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
■ Access times:
    - 70/90 (max.)
■ Current:
    - 9 mA typical active read current
    - 20 mA typical program/erase current
    - 200 nA typical CMOS standby
    - 200 nA Automatic Sleep Mode current
■ Flexible sector architecture
    - 16 Kbyte/ 8 KbyteX2/ 32 Kbyte/ 64 KbyteX15 sectors
    - 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. Temporary Sector Unprotect feature
        allows code changes in previously locked sectors
■ Extended operating temperature range: -40°C ~ +85°C
    for -U series
■ Unlock Bypass Program Command
    - Reduces overall programming time when issuing
        multiple program command sequence
■ Top or bottom boot block configurations available
■ Embedded 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 data at specified addresses
■ Typical 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
■ Ready / BUSY pin (RY / BY)
    - Provides a hardware 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
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET )
    - Hardware method to reset the device to reading array
        data
■ Package options
    - 40-pin TSOP (I)
