8M-bit Serial Voice Flash Memory

MSM9894AL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSM9894AL is a 8Mb flash memory that operates at 2.7 V to 3.6 V. Since backup is not
needed, the number of pins is small, and the chip is contained in a small-package 32-pin TSOP,
the MSM9894AL is a flash memory suitable for applications such as handy terminals. In
combination with Oki's recording/playback IC (MSM9888L/MSM9889L), a solid-state recording/
playback system can be easily constructed.

Data output pin.
Inputs the data transfer clock for the DI and DO pins.
The device accepts the SCK pulse when
CS
is at "L" level and does not accept the
SCK pulse when
CS
is at "H" level.
Output pin for test. Leave this pin open.
Prohibits flash memory programming at "L" level.
The device is reset when
RESET
is at "L" level.
Power supply pin (2.7 to 3.6 V)

"Write Disturb" means a phenomenon that frequent write cycles executed to pages in
Flash memory may cause a data error in another page to which write operations are not
performed.
For example, 20,001 to 50,000 write operations performed to pages other than page "n"
may cause a 1-bit error in page "n".

WRITE DISTURB
"Write Distrub" means a phenomenon that the change from digital "0" to "1" may occur in a Flash
memory page to which data is scarcely written.
The above change can be avoided by refreshing Flash memory data with the DTRW command
and WEND command of the MSM9888L/MSM9889L.
q
DTRW command
This command moves some Flash memory
page data to buffer.
Buffer

Page "n"
w
WEND command
This command programs buffer data to
Flash memory.

TIMING WHEN POWER IS ON
Refer to the MSM9888L/MSM9889L Data Sheet. If the timing diagrams descrided in the
MSM9888L/MSM9889L Data Sheet are not satisfied, errors such as "Recording is disabled" or
"Recorded message is erased" may occur.
