AMD Offers Highest Performance 32 Megabit Flash

SUNNYVALE, CA -- 3/1/1999 -- AMD today announced the Am29LV033, the industry's fastest 3.0 volt 32-Megabit flash memory device. The Am29LV033 represents the latest addition to AMD's broad range of high-density flash devices. Designed using advanced 0.32 micron flash technology, the device is capable of access times as fast as 70 nanoseconds.

"With the introduction of the Am29LV033, AMD can help designers create highly integrated solutions without sacrificing performance," said Walid Maghribi, group vice president of AMD's Memory Group. "The Am29LV033 allows 32-Megabit flash to be utilized in a wider range of applications due to its industry-leading characteristics such fast access times, single-supply operation and zero-power operation."

To address increasingly stringent system power constraints, the Am29LV033 includes sophisticated power management capabilities. The device consumes very low power during operation, and zero power during standby or automatic sleep mode. In addition, AMD guarantees a minimum of one million write cycles and a 20-year data retention period for the Am29LV033.

Applications
The Am29LV033 is targeted for applications requiring large code or data storage and high performance. The device's x8 uniform sector architecture, fast speed, and space-saving FBGA and TSOP packages are ideal for high density applications such as flash cards and resident flash arrays in telecom and networking applications.

Package and Price
The Am29LV033 is available in a 40-lead TSOP package, priced at $14.50 in quantities of 10,000. The device is also available in a 0.8mm 48-ball FBGA (Fine pitch BGA) chip scale package. FBGA packaging is well suited for space limited systems due to its significantly smaller dimensions relative to other packages.
