GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29LV400C T/B is a 4-mega bit Flash memory
organized as 512K bytes of 8 bits or 256K words of 16
bits. MXIC's Flash memories offer the most cost-effec-
tive and reliable read/write non-volatile random access
memory. The MX29LV400C T/B 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.
TTL level control inputs and fixed power supply levels
during erase and programming, while maintaining maxi-
mum EPROM compatibility.
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 MX29LV400C T/B uses a 2.7V~3.6V VCC
supply to perform the High Reliability Erase and auto
Program/Erase algorithms.
The standard MX29LV400C T/B offers access time as
fast as 55ns, allowing operation of high-speed micropro-
cessors without wait states. To eliminate bus conten-
tion, the MX29LV400C T/B 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.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29LV400CT/B uses a command register to manage
this functionality. The command register allows for 100%
