GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F160D is a 16 Mbit, 5.0 Volt-only Flash memory device organized as 2,097,152 bytes or 1,048,576 words. Data appears on DQ0-DQ7 or DQ0-DQ15 depending on the data width selected. The device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply. A 12.0 volt VPP is not required for program or erase operations. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ 5.0 Volt single power supply operation
   — Minimizes system-level power requirements
■ High performance
   — Access times as fast as 70 ns
■ Manufactured on 0.23 µm process technology
■ CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant
   — Provides device-specific information to the system, allowing host software to easily reconfigure for different Flash devices
■ Ultra low power consumption (typical values at 5 MHz)
   — 15 mA typical active read current
   — 35 mA typical erase/program current
   — 300 nA typical standby mode current
■ Flexible sector architecture
   — One 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one 32 Kbyte, and thirty-one 64 Kbyte sectors (byte mode)
   — One 8 Kword, two 4 Kword, one 16 Kword, and thirty-one 32 Kword sectors (word mode)
   — Supports full chip erase
   — Sector Protection features:
   — Hardware method of locking a sector to prevent program or erase operations within that sector
   — Sectors can be locked in-system or via programming equipment
   — Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code changes in previously locked sectors
■ Top boot or bottom boot configurations available
■ Minimum 1,000,000 write cycle guarantee per sector
■ 20-year data retention at 125°C
   — Reliable operation for the life of the system
■ Package options
   — 48-pin TSOP
■ Compatible with JEDEC standards
   — Pinout and software compatible with single power supply Flash
   — Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Embedded Algorithms
   — Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and erases the entire chip or any combination of designated sectors
   — Embedded Program algorithm automatically writes and verifies data at specified addresses
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
   — Suspends an erase operation to read data from, or program data to, a sector that is not being erased, then resumes the erase operation
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
   — Provides a software method of detecting program or erase operation completion
■ Unlock Bypass Program command
   — Reduces overall programming time when issuing multiple program command sequences
■ Ready/Busy# pin (RY/BY#)
   — Provides a hardware method of detecting program or erase cycle completion
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
   — Hardware method to reset the device for reading array data
■ WP# input pin
   — At VIL, protects the 16 Kbyte boot sector from erasure regardless of sector protect/unprotect status
   — At VIH, allows removal of boot sector protection
■ Program and Erase Performance
   — Sector erase time: 1 s typical for each 64 Kbyte sector
   — Byte program time: 7 µs typical
