ADVANCE INFORMATION
Am29LV081B
8 Megabit (1 M x 8-Bit)
CMOS 3.0 Volt-only Sector Erase Flash Memory
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ Optimized architecture for Miniature Card and
■ Unlock Bypass Program Command
mass storage applications
— Reduces overall programming time when
issuing multiple program command sequences
■ Single power supply operation
— Full voltage range: 2.7 to 3.6 volt read and write
operations for battery-powered applications
■ Embedded Algorithms
— Embedded Erase algorithm automatically
preprograms and erases the entire chip or any
combination of designated sectors
— Regulated voltage range: 3.0 to 3.6 volt read and
write operations and for compatibility with high
performance 3.3 volt microprocessors
— Embedded Program algorithm automatically
writes and verifies data at specified addresses
■ Manufactured on 0.35 µm process technology
— Compatible with 0.5 µm Am29LV081 device
■ Minimum 1,000,000 write cycle guarantee per
sector
■ High performance
■ Package option
— Full voltage range: access times as fast as 80 ns
— 40-pin TSOP
— Regulated voltage range: access times as fast
as 70 ns
■ Compatibility with JEDEC standards
■ Ultra low power consumption (typical values at
— Pinout and software compatible with single-
power supply Flash
5 MHz)
— 200 nA Automatic Sleep mode current
— 200 nA standby mode current
— 7 mA read current
— Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
— Provides a software method of detecting
program or erase operation completion
— 15 mA program/erase current
■ Flexible sector architecture
— Sixteen 64 Kbyte sectors
— Supports full chip erase
— Sector Protection features:
■ Ready/Busy# pin (RY/BY#)
— Provides a hardware method of detecting
program or erase cycle completion
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
A hardware method of locking a sector to
prevent any program or erase operations within
that sector
— Suspends an erase operation to read data from,
or program data to, a sector that is not being
erased, then resumes the erase operation
Sectors can be locked in-system or via
programming equipment
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
— Hardware method to reset the device to reading
array data
Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code
changes in previously locked sectors
