GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX26LV160AT/AB is a 16-mega bit high speed Flash
memory organized as 2M bytes of 8 bits or 1M words of
16 bits. MXIC's high speed Flash memories offer the
most cost-effective and reliable read/write non-volatile
random access memory. The MX26LV160AT/AB is pack-
aged in 44-pin SOP, 48-pinTSOP, and 48-ball CSP. It is
designed to be reprogrammed and erased in system or
in standard EPROM programmers.
lows for 100% TTL level control inputs and fixed power
supply levels during erase and programming, while main-
taining maximum EPROM compatibility.
MXIC high speed Flash technology reliably stores
memory contents even after 2K erase and program
cycles. The MXIC cell is designed to optimize the erase
and programming mechanisms. In addition, the combi-
nation of advanced tunnel oxide processing and low in-
ternal electric fields for erase and program operations
produces reliable cycling. The MX26LV160AT/AB uses
a 3.0V~3.6VVCC supply to perform the High Reliability
Erase and auto Program/Erase algorithms.
The standard MX26LV160AT/AB offers access time as
fast as 55ns, allowing operation of high-speed micropro-
cessors without wait states. To eliminate bus conten-
tion, the MX26LV160AT/AB has separate chip enable
(CE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process. Latch-up pro-
tection is proved for stresses up to 100 milliamperes on
address and data pin from -1V to VCC + 1V.
MXIC's high speed Flash memories augment EPROM
functionality with in-circuit electrical erasure and program-
ming. The MX26LV160AT/AB uses a command register
to manage this functionality. The command register al-
