The following document specifies Spansion memory products that are now offered by both Advanced
Micro Devices and Fujitsu. Although the document is marked with the name of the company that
originally developed the specification, these products will be offered to customers of both AMD and
Fujitsu.
Continuity of Specifications
There is no change to this datasheet as a result of offering the device as a Spansion product. Any
changes that have been made are the result of normal datasheet improvement and are noted in the
document revision summary, where supported. Future routine revisions will occur when appro-
priate, and changes will be noted in a revision summary.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■
Single power supply operation
— 2.7 to 3.6 volt read and write operations for
battery-powered applications
■
Manufactured on 0.23 µm process technology
— Compatible with and replaces Am29LV017B
device
■
High performance
— Access times as fast as 70 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
■
20-year data retention at 125
°
C
— Reliable operation for the life of the system
■
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
■
Command sequence optimized for mass storage
— Specific address not required for unlock cycles

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV017D 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.
The standard device offers access times of 70, 90, and
120 ns, allowing high speed microprocessors to
operate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention
the device has separate chip enable (CE#), write
enable (WE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.
The device requires only a
single 3.0 volt power sup-
ply
for both read and write functions. Internally gener-
ated and regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard.
Com-
mands are written to the command register using stan-
