GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F016B in Known Good Die (KGD) form is a 16 Mbit, 5.0 volt-only Flash memory. AMD defines KGD as standard product in die form, tested for functionality and speed. AMD KGD products have the same reliability and quality as AMD products in packaged form.
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ 5.0 V ± 10%, single power supply operation
— Minimizes system level power requirements
■ Manufactured on 0.35 µm process technology
■ High performance
— 120 ns access time
■ Low power consumption
— 25 mA typical active read current
— 30 mA typical program/erase current
— <1 µA typical standby current (standard access time to active mode)
■ Flexible sector architecture
— 32 uniform sectors of 64 Kbytes each
— Any combination of sectors can be erased.
— Supports full chip erase
— Group sector protection:
A hardware method of locking sector groups to prevent any program or erase operations within that sector group
Temporary Sector Group Unprotect allows code changes in previously locked sectors
■ 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 bytes at specified addresses
■ Minimum 100,000 write/erase cycles guaranteed
■ Compatible with JEDEC standards
— Pinout and software compatible with single-power-supply Flash standard
— Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
— Provides a software method of detecting program or erase cycle completion
■ Ready/Busy output (RY/BY#)
— Provides a hardware method for detecting program or erase cycle completion
■ Erase Suspend/Resume
— Suspends a sector erase operation to read data from, or program data to, a non-erasing sector, then resumes the erase operation
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
— Resets internal state machine to the read mode
■ Tested to datasheet specifications at temperature
■ Quality and reliability levels equivalent to standard packaged components
