EN29LV160DB-70TIP2W

The EN29LV160DB-70TIP2W is a 16‑Mbit parallel NOR Flash memory device organized as 2,097,152 bytes (2M × 8) or 1,048,576 words (1M × 16). Designed for single 3.0V operation, this bottom‑boot Boot Sector Flash Memory delivers fast, non‑volatile code and data storage for industrial embedded systems.

With 70 ns access time, JEDEC standard command support, sector protection and a secured silicon sector, the device is tailored for firmware/boot code storage, field updates and industrial applications requiring reliable read/write flash performance across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Memory Capacity & Organization – 16.78 Mbit total, organized as 2M × 8 or 1M × 16 bytes/words to support byte or word‑wide system buses.
• High Performance – 70 ns access time to minimize wait states in high‑performance microprocessor systems; typical byte/word program time of 8 µs.
• Single 3.0V Supply – Operates from 2.7V to 3.6V, simplifying power supply design for 3.0V systems.
• Low Power Profiles – Typical active read current 9 mA, typical program/erase current 20 mA, and standby/automatic sleep current < 1 µA for low system standby power.
• Flexible Sector Architecture – Mixed sector sizes including one 16 KB, two 8 KB, one 32 KB and thirty‑one 64 KB sectors (byte mode), enabling efficient code/firmware organization and updates.
• Sector Protection & Secure Area – Hardware locking of individual sectors, temporary Sector Group Unprotect for controlled updates, and a 128‑word secured silicon sector that can be permanently protected.
• Fast Erase & Program – Typical sector erase time 100 ms and chip erase time 4 s; supports Erase Suspend/Resume to allow read/program operations while erasing.
• Standards & Reliability – JEDEC standard program/erase commands, DATA# polling and toggle bit features; minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and 20 years data retention.
• Package & Temperature – Available in 48‑pin TSOP (Type 1) surface‑mount package and rated for industrial temperature operation from −40 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control – Reliable non‑volatile storage for firmware and configuration data in PLCs, motor controllers and factory automation equipment.
• Embedded Systems – Boot code and application storage for microprocessor‑based devices where fast code execute‑in‑place and robust sector protection are required.
• Communications Equipment – Firmware and field‑upgrade storage in networking modules and telecommunications enclosures operating across industrial temperature ranges.
• Firmware / Boot Storage – Bottom‑boot sector architecture optimized for storing and protecting boot loaders and critical system code.

Unique Advantages

• Fast, Wait‑State‑Free Read Access – 70 ns access time helps eliminate wait states in high‑performance systems.
• Efficient Field Updates – Flexible sector sizes and temporary unprotect modes enable targeted updates without full chip erase.
• Protected Critical Code – Secured silicon sector provides a permanently protected area for sensitive code or data.
• Low Standby Power – Sub‑microamp standby current preserves battery life and reduces system power in idle states.
• Industrial‑Grade Reliability – Rated for −40 °C to 85 °C with a minimum of 100K program/erase cycles and 20 years data retention for long‑life deployments.
• Standard Command Compatibility – JEDEC standard commands and CFI support simplify integration with existing flash controller designs.
