Am29PL160C

16 Megabit (2 M x 8-Bit/1 M x 16-Bit)

CMOS 3.0 Volt-only High Performance Page Mode Flash Memory

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS

■ 16 Mbit Page Mode device

— Byte (8-bit) or word (16-bit) mode selectable via

BYTE# pin

— Page size of 16 bytes/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 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

■ 5 V-tolerant data, address, and control signals

■ High performance read access times

— Page access times as fast as 25 ns at industrial

temperature range

— Random access times as fast as 65 ns

■ Power consumption (typical values at 5 MHz)

— 30 mA read current

— 20 mA program/erase current

— 1 µA standby mode current

— 1 µA Automatic Sleep mode current

■ Flexible sector architecture

— Sector sizes: One 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one

224 Kbyte, and seven sectors of 256 Kbytes

each

— Supports full chip erase

■ Bottom boot block configuration only

■ Sector Protection

— A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent

any program or erase operations within that

sector

— Sectors can be locked via programming

equipment

— Temporary Sector Unprotect command

sequence allows code changes in previously

locked sectors

■ Minimum 1 million write cycles guarantee

per sector

■ 20-year data retention

■ Manufactured on 0.32 µm process technology

■ Software command-set compatible with JEDEC

standard

— Backward compatible with Am29F and Am29LV

families

■ CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant

— Provides device-specific information to the

system, allowing host software to easily

reconfigure for different Flash devices

■ Unlock Bypass Program Command

— Reduces overall programming time when

issuing multiple program command sequences

■ 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

■ Package Options

— 44-pin SO (mask-ROM compatible pinout)

— 48-pin TSOP
