Technology
Intel’s 28F016XD 16-Mbit flash memory is a revolutionary architecture which is the ideal choice for designing
truly revolutionary high-performance products. Combining its DRAM-like read performance and interface with
the intrinsic nonvolatility of flash memory, the 28F016XD eliminates the traditional redundant memory
paradigm of shadowing code from a slow nonvolatile storage source to a faster execution memory, such as
DRAM, for improved system performance. The innovative capabilities of the 28F016XD enable the design of
direct-execute code and mass storage data/file flash memory systems.
The 28F016XD’s DRAM-like interface with a multiplexed address bus, flexible VCC and VPP voltages, power
saving features, extended cycling, fast program and read performance, symmetrically-blocked architecture,
and selective block locking provide a highly flexible memory component suitable for resident flash component
arrays on the system board or SIMMs. The DRAM-like interface with RAS# and CAS# control inputs allows
for easy migration to flash memory in existing DRAM-based systems. The 28F016XD’s dual read voltage
allows the same component to operate at either 3.3V or 5.0V VCC. Programming voltage at 5.0V VPP
minimizes external circuitry in minimal-chip, space critical designs, while the 12.0V VPP option maximizes
program/erase performance. The x16 architecture allows optimization of the memory-to-processor interface.
Its high read performance combined with flexible block locking enable both storage and execution of
operating systems/application software and fast access to large data tables. The 28F016XD is manufactured
on Intel’s 0.6 µm ETOX IV process technology.
