GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29BDS640G is a 64 Mbit, 1.8 Volt-only, simulta-
neous Read/Write, Burst Mode Flash memory device, orga-
nized as 4,194,304 words of 16 bits each. This device uses
a single V
CC
of 1.65 to 1.95 V to read, program, and erase
the memory array. A 12.0-volt V
ID
may be used for faster pro-
gram performance if desired. The device can also be pro-
grammed in standard EPROM programmers.
At 54 MHz, the device provides a burst access of 13.5 ns at
30 pF with a latency of 87.5 ns at 30 pF. At 40 MHz, the de-
vice provides a burst access of 20 ns at 30 pF with a latency
of 95 ns at 30 pF. The device operates within the industrial
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device is offered
in a 93-ball FBGA package.
The Simultaneous Read/Write architecture provides
simul-
taneous operation
by dividing the memory space into four
banks. The device can improve overall system performance
by allowing a host system to program or erase in one bank,
then immediately and simultaneously read from another
bank, with zero latency. This releases the system from wait-
ing for the completion of program or erase operations.
The device is divided as shown in the following table:

The device is entirely command set compatible with the
JEDEC 42.4 single-power-supply Flash standard.
Com-
mands are written to the command register using standard
microprocessor write timing. Register contents serve as in-
puts to an internal state-machine that controls the erase and
programming circuitry. Write cycles also internally latch ad-
dresses and data needed for the programming and erase
operations. Reading data out of the device is similar to read-
ing from other Flash or EPROM devices.
The
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
feature enables the
user to put erase on hold for any period of time to read data
from, or program data to, any sector that is not selected for
erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.
The
hardware RESET# pin
terminates any operation in
progress and resets the internal state machine to reading
array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset
circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the device,
enabling the system microprocessor to read boot-up firm-
ware from the Flash memory device.
The host system can detect whether a program or erase op-
eration is complete by using the device status bit DQ7
(Data# Polling) and DQ6/DQ2 (toggle bits). After a program
or erase cycle has been completed, the device automatically
returns to reading array data.
The
sector erase architecture
allows memory sectors to be
erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data con-
tents of other sectors. The device is fully erased when
shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection
measures include a low V
CC
de-
tector that automatically inhibits write operations during
power transitions. The device also offers two types of data
protection at the sector level. The
sector lock/unlock com-
mand sequence
disables or re-enables both program and
erase operations in any sector. When at V
IL
,
WP#
locks sec-
tors 0 and 1 (bottom boot device) or sectors 132 and 133
(top boot device).
The device offers two power-saving features. When ad-
dresses have been stable for a specified amount of time, the
device enters the
automatic sleep mode.
The system can
also place the device into the
standby mode.
Power con-
sumption is greatly reduced in both modes.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash memory
manufacturing experience to produce the highest levels of
quality, reliability and cost effectiveness. The device electri-
cally erases all bits within a sector simultaneously via
Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling. The data is programmed using
hot electron injection.
The device uses Chip Enable (CE#), Write Enable (WE#),
Address Valid (AVD#) and Output Enable (OE#) to control
asynchronous read and write operations. For burst opera-
tions, the device additionally requires Ready (RDY), and
Clock (CLK). This implementation allows easy interface with
minimal glue logic to a wide range of microprocessors/micro-
controllers for high performance read operations.
The burst read mode feature gives system designers flexibil-
ity in the interface to the device. The user can preset the
burst length and wrap through the same memory space, or
read the flash array in continuous mode.
The clock polarity feature provides system designers a
choice of active clock edges, either rising or falling. The ac-
tive clock edge initiates burst accesses and determines
when data will be output.
