EN29LV160DB-70BIP2W

The EN29LV160DB-70BIP2W is a 16‑Megabit (2,097,152 bytes / 1,048,576 words) parallel NOR Flash memory device with bottom-boot capability, available in a 48-ball TFBGA (6 × 8 mm) package. It is a boot sector flash memory optimized for 3.0V single-supply operation with access times as fast as 70 ns and industrial temperature range.

Designed for embedded and industrial applications that require non-volatile code and data storage, this device combines fast read performance, flexible sector architecture and on-chip protection features to support firmware, boot code and field updates in reliable systems.

Key Features

• Memory Organization — 16 Mbit capacity organized as 2,048K × 8 or 1,024K × 16, matching common parallel bus configurations for firmware and code storage.
• Boot Sector Architecture — Boot sector flash memory with one secured silicon sector (128‑word area) that can be permanently protected to safeguard critical code or data.
• Flexible Sector Layout — Multiple sector sizes (one 16 KB, two 8 KB, one 32 KB, thirty-one 64 KB in byte mode) for targeted program/erase operations and efficient field updates.
• High Performance — Fast access times down to 70 ns reduce CPU wait states; typical byte/word program time is 8 µs for responsive in-system programming.
• Program/Erase and Control — Supports single-sector and full-chip erase, sector unprotect mode, embedded erase/program algorithms, and JEDEC standard program/erase commands with DATA# polling and toggle bits.
• Power and Current — 3.0V single-supply operation with typical active read current of 9 mA, typical program/erase current of 20 mA, and less than 1 µA standby/automatic sleep current.
• Reliability — Minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and 20 years data retention specified for long-term firmware reliability.
• Erase Suspend / Resume — Allows read or program operations in another sector during an erase suspend window for greater system flexibility.
• Package & Temperature — 48-ball TFBGA (6 × 8 mm) surface-mount package rated for industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards Support — JEDEC Common Flash Interface (CFI) support for system-level compatibility and predictable behavior.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Non-volatile storage of firmware and boot code in industrial controllers and automation equipment operating across −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Embedded Systems — Code and data storage for embedded processors requiring parallel NOR Flash with fast access times and sector-level protection.
• Boot Code Storage — Bottom-boot architecture and secured silicon sector enable reliable bootloader storage and protection for system startup code.
• Field Upgrades / In-System Programming — Fast program/erase performance and sector unprotect modes support in-field firmware updates and incremental code changes.

Unique Advantages

• Fast, Wait‑State‑Free Reads: 70 ns access time minimizes CPU wait states for improved system responsiveness.
• Low Standby Power: Less than 1 µA in standby or automatic sleep mode reduces system standby power draw in battery-backed or low-power systems.
• Granular Sector Control: Flexible sector architecture and hardware sector locking provide targeted program/erase operations and secure protection for critical regions.
• Robust Endurance and Retention: Specified minimum 100K program/erase cycles and 20 years data retention support long product life cycles and field reliability.
• Industrial Grade Packaging: 48‑ball TFBGA (6 × 8 mm) and industrial temperature rating enable deployment in space-constrained, harsh-environment systems.
• Operational Flexibility: Erase suspend/resume and JEDEC CFI support allow flexible integration with existing system designs and debug workflows.
