GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29LV160T/B & MX29LV160AT/AB is a 16-mega
bit Flash memory organized as 2M bytes of 8 bits or 1M
words of 16 bits. MXIC's Flash memories offer the most
cost-effective and reliable read/write non-volatile random
access memory. The MX29LV160T/B & MX29LV160AT/
AB is packaged 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.
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory contents
even after 100,000 erase and program cycles. The MXIC
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 program operations produces reliable cy-
cling. The MX29LV160T/B & MX29LV160AT/AB uses a
2.7V~3.6V VCC supply to perform the High Reliability
Erase and auto Program/Erase algorithms.
The standard MX29LV160T/B & MX29LV160AT/AB of-
fers access time as fast as 70ns, allowing operation of
high-speed microprocessors without wait states. To elimi-
nate bus contention, the MX29LV160T/B &
MX29LV160AT/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 milliamps on
address and data pin from -1V to VCC + 1V.

Difference
1) Without CFI compliant
2)CSP dimension:8x13mm
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29LV160T/B & MX29LV160AT/AB uses a command
register to manage this functionality. The command reg-
ister allows for 100% TTL level control inputs and fixed
