Description

The MX29F010-55PL is a 16-megabit Flash memory chip, which is equivalent to 2 megabytes of storage. It is a cost-effective and reliable non-volatile random access memory. This model is designed to be reprogrammed and erased in-system or in standard EPROM programmers. It is available in 40-pin TSOP, 44-pin SOP, and 48-pin TSOP packages.

Specifications and features

• Single power supply 5V operation for read, erase, and program
• Fast access time: 90/120ns
• Low power consumption:
  • 30mA maximum active current
  • 0.2uA typical standby current
• Command register architecture:
  • Byte Programming (7us typical)
  • Sector Erase: 32 equal sectors with 64KByte each
• Auto Erase (chip & sector) and Auto Program:
  • Automatically erase any combination of sectors with Erase Suspend capability
  • Automatically program and verify data at specified address
• Erase suspend/Erase Resume:
  • Suspends an erase operation to read data from, or program data to, another sector that is not being erased, then resumes the erase
• Status Reply:
  • Data polling & Toggle bit for detection of program and erase cycle completion
• Group Sector protect/unprotect for 5V/12V system
• Group Sector protection:
  • Hardware sector protect/unprotect method for each group which consists of two adjacent sectors
  • Temporary group sector unprotect allows code changes in previously locked sectors
• 100,000 minimum erase/program cycles
• Latch-up protected to 100mA from -1V to VCC+1V
• Low VCC write inhibit is equal to or less than 3.2V
• Compatibility with JEDEC standard:
  • Pinout and software compatible with single-power supply Flash

Application Scenarios

The MX29F010-55PL Flash memory chip can be used in various electronic devices and systems that require non-volatile memory storage. It is suitable for applications such as computers, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive systems.

Comparison
