GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K8A2815E featuring single 1.8V power supply is a 128Mbit
Synchronous Burst Multi Bank Flash Memory organized as
8Mx16. The memory architecture of the device is designed to
divide its memory arrays into 263 blocks with independent hard-
ware protection. This block architecture provides highly flexible
erase and program capability. The K8A2815E 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, at 54MHz, the K8A2815E pro-
vides a burst access of 14.5ns with initial access times of 90ns
at 30pF. At 66MHz, the K8A2815E provides a burst access of
11ns with initial access times of 71ns at 30pF. The device per-
forms a program operation in units of 16 bits (Word) and erases
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 K8A2815E NOR Flash Memory is created by using Sam-
sung's advanced CMOS process technology.
