Am29LV160D
16 Megabit (2 M x 8-Bit/1 M x 16-Bit)
CMOS 3.0 Volt-only Boot Sector Flash Memory
This product has been retired and is not recommended for designs. For new and current designs, S29AL016D supersedes Am29LV160D and is the factory-recommended migration path
for this device. Please refer to the S29AL016D data sheet for specifications and ordering information. Availability of this document is retained for reference and historical purposes only.
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ Single power supply operation
■ Embedded Algorithms
— Full voltage range: 2.7 to 3.6 volt read and write
operations for battery-powered applications
— Embedded Erase algorithm automatically
preprograms and erases the entire chip or any
combination of designated sectors
— Regulated voltage range: 3.0 to 3.6 volt read and
write operations and for compatibility with high
performance 3.3 volt microprocessors
— Embedded Program algorithm automatically
writes and verifies data at specified addresses
■ Manufactured on 0.23 µm process technology
■ Minimum 1,000,000 write cycle guarantee
per sector
— Fully compatible with 0.32 µm Am29LV160B device
■ 20-year data retention at 125°C
— Reliable operation for the life of the system
■ Package option
■ High performance
— Access times as fast as 70 ns
■ Ultra low power consumption (typical values at
— 48-ball FBGA
5 MHz)
— 48-pin TSOP
— 200 nA Automatic Sleep mode current
— 200 nA standby mode current
— 9 mA read current
— 44-pin SO
■ CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant
— 20 mA program/erase current
— Provides device-specific information to the
system, allowing host software to easily
reconfigure for different Flash devices
■ Flexible sector architecture
— One 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one 32 Kbyte, and
thirty-one 64 Kbyte sectors (byte mode)
■ Compatibility with JEDEC standards
— Pinout and software compatible with single-
power supply Flash
— One 8 Kword, two 4 Kword, one 16 Kword, and
thirty-one 32 Kword sectors (word mode)
— Superior inadvertent write protection
— Supports full chip erase
— Sector Protection features:
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
— A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent any
program or erase operations within that sector
— Provides a software method of detecting program
or erase operation completion
— Sectors can be locked in-system or via programming
equipment
■ Ready/Busy# pin (RY/BY#)
— Provides a hardware method of detecting
program or erase cycle completion (not available
on 44-pin SO)
Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code
changes in previously locked sectors
■ Unlock Bypass Program Command
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
— Reduces overall programming time when issuing
multiple program command sequences
— Suspends an erase operation to read data from,
or program data to, a sector that is not being
erased, then resumes the erase operation
■ Top or bottom boot block configurations
available
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
— Hardware method to reset the device to reading
array data
