Data Sheet
This product family has been retired and is not recommended for designs. For new and current designs, S29GL032A,
S29GL064A, S29GL128P, and S29GL256P supersede S29GL032M, S29GL064M, S29GL128M, and S29GL256M respectively.
These are the factory-recommended migration paths. Please refer to the S29GL-A and S29GL-P Datasheets for specifications
and ordering information. Availability of this document is retained for reference and historical purposes only.

Compatibility with JEDEC standards
—
Provides pinout and software compatibility for single-
power supply flash, and superior inadvertent write
protection
—
Unlock Bypass Program command reduces overall
multiple-word programming time
Hardware features
100,000 erase cycles typical per sector

—
Sector Group Protection: hardware-level method of
preventing write operations within a sector group
Temporary Sector Unprotect: VID-level method of
charging code in locked sectors
WP#/ACC input accelerates programming time
(when high voltage is applied) for greater throughput
during system production. Protects first or last sector
regardless of sector protection settings on uniform
sector models
