Memory Family
Intel's SmartVoltage FlashFile™ memory family
provides in-system program/erase at 3.3 V VPP and
5V VPP as well as faster factory program/erase at
12 V VPP
.
Future sub-0.4µ lithography SmartVoltage FlashFile
memory products will also include a backward-
compatible 12 V programming feature. This mode,
however, is not intended for extended use. A 12 V
program/erase VPP can be applied for 1000 cycles
maximum per block or 80 hours maximum per
device. To ensure compatibility with future sub-0.4µ
SmartVoltage FlashFile memory products, present
designs should not permanently connect VPP to
12 V. This will avoid device over-stressing that may
cause permanent damage.
