16 Megabit (2 Mb x 8-Bit),
CMOS 3.0 Volt-only Uniform Sector Flash Memory

General Description
The Am29LV017D is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash. All read, program, and erase operations are accomplished using only a single power supply. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers. The standard device offers access times of 70, 90, and 120 ns, allowing high speed microprocessors to operate without wait states. The device is offered in 48-ball FBGA and 40-pin TSOP packages.

Distinctive Characteristics

Architectural Advantages

• Single power supply operation
• 2.7V to 3.6V read and write operations for battery-powered applications
• Manufactured on 0.32 µm process technology
• Compatible with and replaces Am29LV017B device
