GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV160B is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes or 1,048,576 words. The device is offered in 48-ball FBGA, 44-pin SO, and 48-pin TSOP packages. The word-wide data (x16) appears on DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0. This device is designed to be  programmed in-system with the standard system 3.0 volt VCCsupply. A 12.0 V VPP or 5.0 VCCare not required for write or erase operations. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■Single power supply operation
— Full voltage range: 2.7 to 3.6 volt read and write operations for battery-powered applications
— Regulated voltage range: 3.0 to 3.6 volt read and write operations and for compatibility with high
performance 3.3 volt microprocessors
■Manufactured on 0.32 µm process technology
■High performance
— Full voltage range: access times as fast as 80 ns
— Regulated voltage range: access times as fast as 70 ns
■Ultra low power consumption (typical values at 5MHz)
— 200 nA Automatic Sleep mode current
— 200 nA standby mode current
— 9 mA read current
— 20 mA program/erase current
■Flexible sector architecture
— One 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one 32 Kbyte, and thirty-one 64 Kbyte sectors (byte mode)
— One 8 Kword, two 4 Kword, one 16 Kword, and thirty-one 32 Kword sectors (word mode)
— Supports full chip erase
— Sector Protection features:
— A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent any program or erase operations within that sector
— Sectors can be locked in-system or via programming equipment
    Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code changes in previously locked sectors
■Unlock Bypass Program Command
— Reduces overall programming time when issuing multiple program command sequences
■Top or bottom boot block configurations available
