Am29DL642G
128 Megabit (8 M x 16-Bit) CMOS 3.0 Volt-only
Simultaneous Read/Write Flash Memory
This product has been retired and is not recommended for designs. For new and current designs, S29PL127J supersedes AM29DL642G as the factory-recommended migration path.
Please refer to the S29PL127J datasheet for specifications and ordering information. Availability of this document is retained for reference and historical purposes only.
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ Two 64 Megabit (Am29DL640G) in a single 63-ball 12
x 11 mm Fine-pitch BGA package (features are
described herein for each internal Am29DL640G)
■ Flexible sector architecture
— Two hundred fifty-six 32 Kword sectors
■ Compatibility with JEDEC standards
■ Two Chip Enable inputs
— Except for the added CE2#, the Fine-pitch BGA is
pinout and software compatible with single-power
supply Flash
— Two CE# inputs to control selection of each internal
Am29DL640G devices
■ Single power supply operation
— Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Minimum 1 million erase cycle guarantee per sector
■ 63-ball Fine-pitch BGA Package
— 2.7 to 3.6 volt read, erase, and program operations
■ Simultaneous Read/Write operations
— Data can be continuously read from one bank while
executing erase/program functions in another bank.
SOFTWARE FEATURES
— Zero latency between read and write operations
■ Flexible BankTM architecture
■ Data Management Software (DMS)
— AMD-supplied software manages data programming,
enabling EEPROM emulation
— Read may occur in any of the three banks not being
written or erased.
— Eases historical sector erase flash limitations
— Four banks may be grouped by customer to achieve
desired bank divisions.
■ Supports Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI)
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
■ Boot Sectors
— Suspends erase operations to allow reading from
other sectors in same bank
— Top and bottom boot sectors in the same device
— Any combination of sectors can be erased
■ SecSi™ (Secured Silicon) SectorSecSiTM (Secured
■ Data# Polling and Toggle Bits
— Provides a software method of detecting the status of
program or erase cycles
Silicon) Sector: Extra 256 Byte sector
■ Unlock Bypass Program command
— Reduces overall programming time when issuing
multiple program command sequences
— Factory locked and identifiable: 16 bytes available for
secure, random factory Electronic Serial Number;
verifiable as factory locked through autoselect
function. ExpressFlash option allows entire sector to
be available for factory-secured data
HARDWARE FEATURES
■ Ready/Busy# output (RY/BY#)
— Hardware method for detecting program or erase
cycle completion
— Customer lockable: One-time programmable only.
Once locked, data cannot be changed
■ High performance
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
— Hardware method of resetting the internal state
machine to the read mode
— 70 or 90 ns access time
■ Manufactured on 0.17 µm process technology
■ CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant
■ WP#/ACC input pin
— Write protect (WP#) function protects sectors 0, 1,
140, and 141, regardless of sector protect status
— Provides device-specific information to the system,
allowing host software to easily reconfigure for
different Flash devices
— Acceleration (ACC) function accelerates program
timing
■ Ultra low power consumption (typical values at 3.0 V,
■ Sector protection
5 MHz) for the part
— Hardware method of locking a sector, either
in-system or using programming equipment, to
prevent any program or erase operation within that
sector
— 10 mA typical active read current
— 15 mA typical erase/program current
— 400 nA typical standby mode current
— Temporary Sector Unprotect allows changing data in
protected sectors in-system
