PRELIMINARY
Am29LV800D
8 Megabit (1 M x 8-Bit/512 K x 16-Bit)
CMOS 3.0 Volt-only Boot Sector Flash Memory
For new designs, S29AL008D supersedes Am29LV800D and is the factory-recommended migration
path. Please refer to the S29AL008D Data Sheet for specifications and ordering information.
Distinctive Characteristics
■ Single power supply operation
— 2.7 to 3.6 volt read and write operations
for battery-powered applications
■ Manufactured on 0.23 µm process
technology
— Compatible with 0.32 µm Am29LV800
device
■ High performance
— Access times as fast as 70 ns
■ Ultra low power consumption (typical
values at 5 MHz)
— 200 nA Automatic Sleep mode current
— 200 nA standby mode current
— 7 mA read current
— 15 mA program/erase current
■ Flexible sector architecture
— One 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one 32 Kbyte, and
fifteen 64 Kbyte sectors (byte mode)
— One 8 Kword, two 4 Kword, one 16 Kword, and
fifteen 32 Kword sectors (word mode)
— Supports full chip erase
— Sector Protection features:
A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent
any 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
■ Unlock Bypass Program Command
— Reduces overall programming time when
issuing multiple program command
sequences
■ Top or bottom boot block configurations
available
■ 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
■ Minimum 1 million write cycle guarantee
per sector
■ 20-year data retention at 125°C
— Reliable operation for the life of the system
■ Package option
— 48-ball FBGA
— 48-pin TSOP
— 44-pin SO
■ Compatibility with JEDEC standards
— Pinout and software compatible with single-
power supply Flash
— Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
— Provides a software method of detecting
program or erase operation completion
■ Ready/Busy# pin (RY/BY#)
— Provides a hardware method of detecting
program or erase cycle completion
■ 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
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
— Hardware method to reset the device to
reading array data
