GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K8C12(13)15E featuring single 1.8V power supply is a
512Mbit Burst Multi Bank Flash Memory organized as 32Mx16.
The memory architecture of the device is designed to divide its
memory arrays into 515 blocks with independent hardware pro-
tection. This block architecture provides highly flexible erase
and program capability. The K8C12(13)15E NOR Flash con-
sists of sixteen banks. This device is capable of reading data
from one bank while programming or erasing in the other bank.
Regarding read access time, the K8C1215E provides 11ns
burst access time and 110ns initial access time at 66MHz. At
the K8C1215E provides 9ns burst access time and 110ns initial
access time at 83MHz.At the K8C1315E provides 7ns burst
access time and 110ns initial access time at 108MHz. At
133MHz, the K8C1315E provides 6ns burst access time and
110ns initial access time.
The device performs a program operation in units of 16 bits
(Word) and erases in units of a block. Single or multiple blocks
can be erased. The block erase operation is completed within
typically 0.6sec. The device requires 15mA as program/erase
current in the extended temperature ranges.
The K8C12(13)15E NOR Flash Memory is created by using
Samsung's advanced CMOS process technology.
