General Description
The A49LF040A flash memory device is designed to be read-compatible with the Intel Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification 1.1. This device is designed to use a single low voltage, range from 3.0 Volt to 3.6 Volt power supply to perform in-system or off-system read and write operations. It provides protection for the storage and update of code and data in addition to adding system design flexibility through five general-purpose inputs. Two interface modes are supported by the A49LF040A: Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface mode for In-System programming and Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) mode for fast factory programming of PC-BIOS applications.
