M29F016B

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

The M29F016B is a 16 Mbit (2Mb x8) non-volatile

memory that can be read, erased and repro-

grammed. These operations can be performed us-

ing a single 5V supply. On power-up the memory

defaults to its Read mode where it can be read in

the same way as a ROM or EPROM.

The memory is divided into blocks that can be

erased independently so it is possible to preserve

valid data while old data is erased. Blocks can be

protected in groups to prevent accidental Program

or Erase commands from modifying the memory.

Program and Erase commands are written to the

Command Interface of the memory. An on-chip

Program/Erase Controller simplifies the process of

programming or erasing the memory by taking

care of all of the special operations that are re-

quired to update the memory contents. The end of

a program or erase operation can be detected and

any error conditions identified. The command set

required to control the memory is consistent with

JEDEC standards.

Chip Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable sig-

nals control the bus operation of the memory.

They allow simple connection to most micropro-

cessors, often without additional logic.

The memory is offered in a TSOP40 (10 x 20mm)

and SO44 packages and it is supplied with all the

bits erased (set to ’1’).

Note: 1. Except for the rating ”Operating Temperature Range”, stresses above those listed in the Table ”Absolute Maximum Ratings” may

cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the device at these or any other conditions

above those indicated in the Operating sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating condi-

tions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the STMicroelectronics SURE Program and other relevant qual-

ity documents.

2. Minimum Voltage may undershoot to –2V during transition and for less than 20ns during transitions.
