| 64 Megabit (4 M x 16-Bit) CMOS 1.8 Volt-only Simultaneous Read/Write,
Burst Mode Flash Memory, and 8 Mbit (512 K x 16-Bit) SRAM
General Description
The Am29BDS640H is a 64 Mbit, 1.8 Volt-only, simultaneous Read/Write, Burst Mode Flash memory device, organized as 4,194,304 words of 16 bits each. This device uses a single V CC of 1.65 to 1.95 V to read, program, and erase the memory array. A 12.0-volt V HH on ACC may be used for faster program performance if desired.
At 66 MHz, the device provides a burst access of 11 ns at 30 pF with a latency of 56 ns at 30 pF.At 54 MHz, the device provides a burst access of 13.5 ns at 30 pF with a latency of 69ns at 30 pF. The device operates within the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device is offered in the 64-ball FBGA package.
The Simultaneous Read/Write architecture provides simultaneous operation by dividing the memory space into four banks. The device can improve overall system performance by allowing a host system to program or erase in one bank, then immediately and simultaneously read from another bank, with zero latency. This releases the system from waiting for the completion of program or erase operations.

Hardware Features - Handshaking feature
- Provides host system with minimum possible latency by monitoring RDY
- Reduced Wait-state handshaking option further reduces initial access cycles required for burst accesses beginning on even addresses
- Hardware reset input (RESET#)
- Hardware method to reset the device for reading array data
- WP# input
- Write protect (WP#) function allows protection of the four highest and four lowest 4 kWord boot sectors, regardless of sector protect status
- Persistent Sector Protection
- A command sector protection method to lock combinations of individual sectors and sector groups to prevent program or erase operations within that sector
- Sectors can be locked and unlocked in-system at V CC level
- Password Sector Protection
- A sophisticated sector protection method to lock
combinations of individual sectors and sector groups
to prevent program or erase operations within that
sector using a user-defined 64-bit password
- ACC input: Acceleration function reduces
programming time; all sectors locked when ACC =
VIL
