Am29DL642G
128 Megabit (8 M x 16-Bit) CMOS 3.0 Volt-only
Simultaneous Read/Write Flash Memory
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■Two 64 Megabit (Am29DL640G ) in a single 63-ball 12
x 11 mm Fine-pitch BGA package (features are
described herein for each inte rnal Am29DL640G)
■Two Chip Ena ble inpu ts
— Two CE# inputs to control selection of each internal
Am29DL640G devices
■Single power supply operation
— 2.7 to 3.6 v olt read, erase, and program operations
■Simultaneous Read/Write op erations
— Data can be continuously read from one bank while
executing erase/program functions in another bank.
— Zero latency between read and write operations
■Flexible BankTM architecture
— Read may occur in any of the three banks not being
written or erased.
— Four banks may be grouped by customer to achieve
desired bank divisions.
■Boot Sectors
— Top and bottom boot sectors in the same device
— Any combination of s ectors can be erased
■SecSi™ (Secured Silicon) Sector SecSiTM (Secured
Silicon) Sector: Extra 256 Byte sector
—Factory locked and identifiable: 16 bytes available for
secure, random factory Electronic Serial Number;
verifiable as factory loc ked through autoselect
function. ExpressFlash option all o ws entire sector to
be available for factory-secured data
—Cus tomer lock able: One-time programmable only.
Once locked, data cannot be changed
■High performance
— 70 or 90 ns access time
■Manufactured on 0.17 µm process technol ogy
■CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant
— Provides device-specific information to the system,
allowing host so ftware to easily reconfigure for
different Flash devices
■Ultra low power consumption (typical values at 3.0 V,
5 MHz) for the part
— 10 mA typical active read current
— 15 mA typical erase/program current
— 400 nA typical standby mode current
■Flexible sect or architec ture
— Two hundred fifty-six 32 Kword sectors
■Compatibility with JEDEC standards
— Except for the added CE2#, the Fine-pitch B GA is
pinout and software compatible w ith single-power
supply Flash
— Sup erio r inadvertent wr ite protection
■Minimum 1 m illion erase cycle guarantee per sector
■63-ball Fine-pitch BGA Package
SOFTWARE FEATURES
■Data Management Software (DMS)
— AMD-supplied software manages data programming,
enabling EEPROM emulation
— Eases historical sector erase flash limitations
■Suppo rts Commo n Flash Memory Interface (CFI)
■Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
— Suspends erase operations to allow reading from
other sectors in s ame bank
■Data# Polling and Toggle Bits
— Provides a software method of detecting the status of
program or erase cycles
■Unlock Bypass Program command
— Reduc es overall programming time when issuing
multiple program command sequences
HARDWARE FEATURES
■Ready/Busy# output (RY/BY#)
— Hardware method for detec ting program or erase
cycle completion
■Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
— Hardware method of resetting the internal state
machine to the read mode
■WP#/ACC input pin
— Write protect (WP#) function protects sectors 0, 1,
140, and 141, regardless of sector protect status
— Acceleration (ACC) function accelerates program
timing
■Sector protection
— Hardware method of locking a sector, either
in-system or using programming equipment, to
prevent any program or erase operation within that
sector
— Temporary Sector Unprotect allows changing data in
protected sectors in-system
