The AM29LV160DT-120EI is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash memory device manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It's organized as 2,097,152 bytes. This device offers a combination of high density, low power consumption, and fast access times, making it suitable for a wide range of embedded systems and applications.

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile memory
• Portable devices such as handheld computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Storage of boot code and application code in microcontrollers
• Wireless communication devices
• Networking equipment

Features

• Single Power Supply Operation: 3.0 V only for both read and write operations.
• High Performance: Offers fast access times, enhancing system performance.
• Sector Protection: Hardware sector protection to prevent accidental program or erase of sectors.
• Top or Bottom Boot Block Configuration: Flexible boot sector architecture.
• Low Power Consumption: Standby and active power consumption are minimized.
• Erase Suspend/Resume: Allows interruption of an erase operation to read or program other sectors, then resume the erase.
• Program Suspend/Resume: Allows interruption of a program operation to read other sectors, then resume the program.
• Unlock Bypass Program Command: Reduces programming time.
• Common Flash Interface (CFI): Standardized interface for easy integration.

Benefits

• Simplified system design due to single power supply operation.
• Increased system reliability with hardware sector protection.
• Lower power consumption extends battery life in portable applications.
• Faster boot times and improved system responsiveness due to high-performance access.
• Reduced development time with the Common Flash Interface (CFI).
