GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV160M is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash
memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes or 1,048,576
words. The device is offered in a 48-ball Fine-pitch
BGA, 64-ball Fortified BGA, and 48-pin TSOP pack-
ages. The word-wide data (x16) appears on DQ15–
DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0.
This device is . The device requires only a
single 3.0
volt power supply
for both read and write functions,
designed to be programmed in-system with the stan-
dard system 3.0 volt V
CC
supply. The device can also
be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The 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 is entirely command set compatible with
the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard.
Commands are written to the device using standard
microprocessor write timing. Write cycles also inter-
nally latch addresses and data needed for the pro-
gramming and erase operations.
The
sector erase architecture
allows memory sec-
tors to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting
the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Device programming and erasure are initiated through
command sequences. Once a program or erase oper-
ation has begun, the host system need only poll the
DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6 (toggle)
status bits
or
monitor the
Ready/Busy# (RY/BY#)
output to deter-
mine whether the operation is complete. To facilitate
programming, an
Unlock Bypass
mode reduces com-
mand sequence overhead by requiring only two write
cycles to program data instead of four.
Hardware data protection
measures include a low
V
CC
detector that automatically inhibits write opera-
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of sectors of memory.
This can be achieved in-system or via programming
equipment.
The
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
feature allows
the host system to pause an erase operation in a
given sector to read or program any other sector and
then complete the erase operation. The
Program
Suspend/Program Resume
feature enables the host
system to pause a program operation in a given sector
to read any other sector and then complete the pro-
gram operation.
The
hardware RESET# pin
terminates any operation
in progress and resets the device, after which it is then
ready for a new operation. The RESET# pin may be
tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would
thus also reset the device, enabling the host system to
read boot-up firmware from the Flash memory device.
The device reduces power c ons umption in the
standby mode
when it detects specific voltage levels
on CE# and RESET#, or when addresses have been
stable for a specified period of time.
The
SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector
provides a
128-word/256-byte area for code or data that can be
permanently protected. Once this sector is protected,
no further changes within the sector can occur.
AMD MirrorBit flash technology combines years of
Flash memory manufacturing experience to produce
the highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effec-
tiveness. The device electrically erases all bits within a
sector simultaneously via hot-hole assisted erase. The
data is programmed using hot electron injection.
