GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29F400T/B is a 4-mega bit Flash memory organized as 512K bytes of 8 bits or 256K words of 16 bits.
MXIC's Flash memories offer the most cost-effective
and reliable read/write non-volatile random access
memory. The MX29F400T/B is packaged in 44-pin SOP,
48-pin TSOP. It is designed to be reprogrammed and
erased in system or in standard EPROM programmers.
TTL level control inputs and fixed power supply levels
during erase and programming, while maintaining maximum EPROM compatibility.
The standard MX29F400T/B offers access time as fast
as 55ns, allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors without wait states. To eliminate bus contention,
the MX29F400T/B has separate chip enable (CE) and
output enable (OE) controls.
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory contents
even after 100,000 erase and program cycles. The MXIC
cell is designed to optimize the erase and programming
mechanisms. In addition, the combination of advanced
tunnel oxide processing and low internal electric fields
for erase and program operations produces reliable cycling. The MX29F400T/B uses a 5.0V±10% VCC supply to perform the High Reliability Erase and auto Program/Erase algorithms.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29F400T/B uses a command register to manage this
functionality. The command register allows for 100%
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process. Latch-up protection is proved for stresses up to 100 milliamps on
address and data pin from -1V to VCC + 1V.
