This document contains information on a product under development at Advanced Micro Devices. The product is a 16 Megabit (2 M x 8-Bit) CMOS 3.0 Volt-only Boot Sector Flash Memory. Its distinctive characteristics include single power supply operation, manufactured on 0.35 µm process technology, high performance, ultra low power consumption, and flexible sector architecture.
The Am29LV160B is a 16 Megabit (2 M x 8-Bit/1 M x 16-Bit) Flash memory device designed for battery-powered applications and compatibility with high-performance 3.3 volt microprocessors. It operates on a single power supply ranging from 2.7 to 3.6 volts in full voltage mode, or 3.0 to 3.6 volts in regulated mode.
The device features an embedded program and erase algorithm that automatically times pulse widths and verifies cell margins. It supports Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI) compliance, sector protection, and hardware reset capabilities. The memory is available in 48-ball FBGA, 48-pin TSOP, and 44-pin SO packages.
