Am29F400B Known Good Die
4 Megabit (512 K x 8-Bit/256 K x 16-Bit)
CMOS 5.0 Volt-only, Boot Sector Flash Memory—Die Revision 1
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ Single power supply operation
■ Top or bottom boot block configurations
available
— 5.0 volt-only operation for read, erase, and
program operations
■ Embedded Algorithms
— Minimizes system level requirements
— Embedded Erase algorithm automatically
preprograms and erases the entire chip or any
combination of designated sectors
■ Manufactured on 0.35 µm process technology
— Compatible with 0.5 µm Am29F400 device
— Embedded Program algorithm automatically
writes and verifies data at specified addresses
■ High performance
— Acess time as fast as 70 ns
■ Minimum 1,000,000 write cycle per sector
■ Low power consumption (typical values at 5
guaranteed
MHz)
■ Compatibility with JEDEC standards
— 1 µA standby mode current
— Pinout and software compatible with single-
power-supply Flash
— 20 mA read current (byte mode)
— 28 mA read current (word mode)
— 30 mA program/erase current
— Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
■ Flexible sector architecture
— Provides a software method of detecting
program or erase operation completion
— One 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one 32 Kbyte, and
seven 64 Kbyte sectors (byte mode)
■ Ready/Busy# pin (RY/BY#)
— One 8 Kword, two 4 Kword, one 16 Kword, and
seven 32 Kword sectors (word mode)
— Provides a hardware method of detecting
program or erase cycle completion
— Supports full chip erase
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
— Sector Protection features:
— Suspends an erase operation to read data from,
or program data to, a sector that is not being
erased, then resumes the erase operation
A hardware method of locking a sector to
prevent any program or erase operations within
that sector
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
Sectors can be locked via programming
equipment
— Hardware method to reset the device to reading
array data
Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code
changes in previously locked sectors
