EN29LV160DT-70BIP2W

The EN29LV160DT-70BIP2W is a 16‑Megabit parallel NOR Flash memory from ESMT designed for industrial embedded systems and boot/firmware storage. It is a Top Boot sector Flash device that operates from a single 3.0V supply (2.7V–3.6V) and delivers fast, byte/word-programmable non‑volatile storage with access times as fast as 70 ns.

Optimized for system-level firmware and code storage, the device combines sector-level protection, secure silicon sector options and JEDEC-standard command support to simplify firmware management and in-field updates in temperature‑sensitive industrial environments.

Key Features

• Memory Capacity & Organization — 16 Megabit organized as 2,097,152 bytes (2M × 8) or 1,048,576 words (1M × 16), giving flexible data width options for parallel bus designs.
• High Performance — 70 ns maximum access time to minimize processor wait states and support high‑performance microprocessor systems.
• Program & Erase Speed — Typical byte/word program time 8 µs, sector erase ~100 ms typical, chip erase ~4 s typical for efficient in‑field updates.
• Power — Single 3.0V operation (2.7V–3.6V); typical active read 9 mA, typical program/erase 20 mA, and standby/automatic sleep current < 1 µA for low system power impact.
• Flexible Sector Architecture — Mixed sector map (one 16 Kbyte, two 8 Kbyte, one 32 Kbyte and thirty‑one 64 Kbyte sectors in byte mode) enabling targeted updates and minimal erase overhead.
• Sector Protection & Security — Hardware locking of sectors, temporary Sector Group Unprotect for controlled updates, and a Secured Silicon Sector (128‑word area) that can be permanently protected.
• Reliability & Endurance — Minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and 20 years data retention documented in the datasheet.
• Standards & Features — JEDEC standard program/erase commands, DATA# polling and toggle bit features, JEDEC Common Flash Interface (CFI) support, low VCC write inhibit ≤ 2.5V, and erase suspend/resume capability.
• Industrial Grade Packaging & Temperature — 48‑ball TFBGA package (6 × 8 mm) and industrial operating range −40 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Embedded Systems — Reliable non‑volatile code and configuration storage for controllers, PLCs and industrial instrumentation operating across −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Boot and Firmware Storage — Top Boot sector architecture and fast 70 ns access time make the device suited for system boot ROM and firmware execution in microprocessor systems.
• Field Upgrade and In‑System Programming — Sector protection, temporary unprotect and erase suspend/resume enable secure, targeted firmware updates without full system downtime.
• Secure Code Storage — Secured Silicon Sector provides a permanently protectable 128‑word region for critical code or data.

Unique Advantages

• Fast System Integration — 70 ns access time and parallel interface reduce the need for wait states and simplify integration with high‑performance processors.
• Granular Update Control — Mixed sector sizes and sector locking allow targeted erases/programs, minimizing erase overhead and preserving device endurance.
• Low Power Impact — Single 3.0V supply with low active and standby currents helps keep overall system power consumption low in both active and sleep modes.
• Robust Data Retention and Endurance — Minimum 100K program/erase cycles and 20 years data retention provide long‑term reliability for deployed systems.
• Standards Compatibility — JEDEC program/erase commands, DATA# polling, toggle bit features and CFI support streamline software development and interoperability.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Specified operation from −40 °C to 85 °C for use in a wide range of industrial environments.
