GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29BDS323 is a 32 Mbit, 1.8 Volt-only, simultaneous Read/Write, Burst Mode Flash memory device, organized as 2,097,152 words of 16 bits each. This device uses a single VCC of 1.7 to 1.9 V to read, program, and erase the memory array. A 12.0-volt VPP may be used for faster program performance if desired. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ Single 1.8 volt read, program and erase (1.7 to 1.9 volt)
■ Multiplexed Data and Address for reduced I/O count
— A0–A15 multiplexed as D0–D15
— Addresses are latched with AVD# control inputs
while CE# low
■ Simultaneous Read/Write operation
— Data can be continuously read from one bank
while executing erase/program functions in other
bank
— Zero latency between read and write operations
■ Read access times at 40 MHz
— Burst access times of 20 ns @ 30 pF
at industrial temperature range
— Asynchronous random access times
of 110 ns @ 30 pF
— Synchronous random access times
of 120 ns @ 30 pF
■ Burst length
— Continuous linear burst
■ Power dissipation (typical values, 8 bits switching, CL = 30 pF)
— Burst Mode Read: 25 mA
— Simultaneous Operation: 40 mA
— Program/Erase: 15 mA
— Standby mode: 0.2 µA
■ Sector Architecture
— Eight 4 Kword sectors and sixty-three sectors of
32 Kwords each
— Bank A contains the eight 4 Kword sectors and
fifteen 32 Kword sectors
— Bank B contains forty-eight 32 Kword sectors
■ Sector Protection
— Software command sector locking
— WP# protects the last two boot sectors
— All sectors locked when VPP = VIL
■ Software command set compatible with JEDEC 42.4 standards
— Backwards compatible with Am29F and Am29LV
families
■ Minimum 1 million erase cycle guarantee per sector
■ 20-year data retention at 125°C
— Reliable operation for the life of the system
■ Embedded Algorithms
— Embedded Erase algorithm automatically
preprograms and erases the entire chip or any
combination of designated sectors
— Embedded Program algorithm automatically
writes and verifies data at specified addresses
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
— Provides a software method of detecting
program and erase operation completion
■ Erase Suspend/Resume
— Suspends an erase operation to read data from,
or program data to, a sector that is not being
erased, then resumes the erase operation
■ Hardware reset input (RESET#)
— Hardware method to reset the device for reading
array data
■ CMOS compatible inputs, CMOS compatible outputs
■ Low VCC write inhibit
■ Package Option
— 47-ball FBGA
