GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K8A5615E featuring single 1.8V power supply is a 256Mbit
Synchronous Burst Multi Bank Flash Memory organized as
16Mx16. The memory architecture of the device is designed to
divide its memory arrays into 519 blocks with independent hard-
ware protection. This block architecture provides highly flexible
erase and program capability. The K8A5615E NOR Flash con-
sists of sixteen banks. This device is capable of reading data
from one bank while programming or erasing in the other bank.
Regarding read access time, the K8A5615E provides an 14.5ns
burst access time and an 88.5ns initial access time at 54MHz.
At 66MHz, the K8A5615E provides an 11ns burst access time
and 70ns initial access time. The device performs a program
operation in units of 16 bits (Word) and an erase operation in
units of a block. Single or multiple blocks can be erased. The
block erase operation is completed within typically 0.7 sec. The
device requires 15mA as program/erase current in the
extended temperature ranges.
The K8A5615E NOR Flash Memory is created by using Sam-
sung's advanced CMOS process technology.
