GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29PL160C is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Page mode Flash memory device organized as 2,097,152 bytes or 1,048,576 words.The device is offered in a 44-pin SO or a 48-pin TSOP package. The word-wide data (x16) appears on DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0. This device can be prog ra mm ed in -system or wit h in stand ard EPROM programmers. A 12.0 V VPP or 5.0 VCC are not required for write or erase operations.
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
◾ 16 Mbit Page Mode device
— Byte (8-bit) or word (16-bit) mode selectable via
BYTE# pin
— Page size of 16 bytes/8 words: Fast page read
access from random locations within the page
◾ 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
◾ 5 V-tolerant data, address, and control signals
◾ High performance read access times
— Page access times as fast as 25 ns at industrial
temperature range
— Random access times as fast as 65 ns
◾ Power consumption (typical values at 5 MHz)
— 30 mA read current
— 20 mA program/erase current
— 1 µA standby mode current
— 1 µA Automatic Sleep mode current
◾ Flexible sector architecture
— Sector sizes: One 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one
224 Kbyte, and seven sectors of 256 Kbytes
each
— Supports full chip erase
◾ Bottom boot block configuration only
◾ Sector Protection
— A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent
any program or erase operations within that
sector
— Sectors can be locked via programming
equipment
— Temporary Sector Unprotect command
sequence allows code changes in previously
locked sectors
◾ Minimum 1 million write cycles guarantee
per sector
◾ 20-year data retention
◾ Manufactured on 0.32 µm process technology
