GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29F1611 is a 16-mega bit Pagemode Flash
memory organized as either 1M wordx16 or 2M bytex8.
The MX29F1611 includes 16-128KB(131,072 Bytes)
blocks or 16-64KW(65,536 Words)blocks. MXIC's Flash
memories offer the most cost-effective and reliable read/
write non-volatile random access memory and fast page
mode access. The MX29F1611 is packaged 44-pin
SOP. It is designed to be reprogrammed and erased in-
system or in-standard EPROM programmers.
To allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the
MX29F1611 does not require high input voltages for
programming. Five-volt-only commands determine the
operation of the device. Reading data out of the device
is similar to reading from an EPROM.
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory contents
even after 10,000 cycles. The MXIC's cell is designed to
optimize the erase and programming mechanisms. In
addition, the combination of advanced tunnel oxide
processing and low internal electric fields for erase and
programming operations produces reliable cycling. The
MX29F1611 uses a 5V ± 5% VCC supply to perform the
Auto Erase and Auto Program algorithms.
The standard MX29F1611 offers access times as fast as
100ns,allowingoperationofhigh-speedmicroprocessors
without wait. To eliminate bus contention, the
MX29F1611hasseparatechipenableCE, outputenable
(OE), and write enable (WE) controls.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process. Latch-up
protection is proved for stresses up to 100 milliamps on
address and data pin from -1V to VCC +1V.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29F1611 uses a command register to manage this
functionality.
