Product Overview

S29AL004D
4 Megabit (512 K x 8-Bit/256 K x 16-Bit)
CMOS 3.0 Volt-only Boot Sector Flash Memory

General Description
The S29AL004D is a 4 Mbit, 3.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as 524,288 bytes or 262,144 words. The device is offered in 48-ball FBGA, 44-pin SO, and 48-pin TSOP packages. The word-wide data (x16) appears on DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0. This device requires only a single, 3.0 volt VCC supply to perform read, program, and erase operations. A standard EPROM programmer can also be used to program and erase the device.
