Flash Memory Features
Architectural Advantages

• Simultaneous Read/Write operations
• Data can be continuously read from one bank while executing erase/program functions in another bank
• Zero latency between read and write operations
• Flexible Bank™ architecture
• Read may occur in any of the three banks not being written or erased
• Four banks may be grouped by customer to achieve desired bank divisions
• Manufactured on 0.17 µm process technology
• SecSi™(Secured Silicon) Sector: Extra 256 Byte sector
  • Factory locked and identifiable: 16 bytes available for secure, random factory Electronic Serial Number; verifiable as factory locked through autoselect function. ExpressFlash option allows entire sector to be available for factory-secured data
• Customer lockable: Sector is one-time programmable. Once sector is locked, data cannot be changed
• Zero Power Operation
  • Sophisticated power management circuits reduce power consumed during inactive periods to nearly zero
• Boot sectors
  • Top and bottom boot sectors in the same device
• Compatible with JEDEC standards
  • Pinout and software compatible with single-power-supply flash standard
