GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV017B is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes. The device is offered in 48-ball FBGA and 40-pin TSOP packages. The byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0. All read, program, and erase operations are accomplished using only a single power supply. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ Single power supply operation
   — Full voltage range: 2.7 to 3.6 volt read and write operations for battery-powered applications
   — Regulated voltage range: 3.0 to 3.6 volt read and write operations and for compatibility with high performance 3.3 volt microprocessors
■ Manufactured on 0.35 µm process technology
■ High performance
   — Full voltage range: access times as fast as 90 ns
   — Regulated voltage range: access times as fast as 80 ns
■ Ultra low power consumption (typical values at 5 MHz)
   — 200 nA Automatic Sleep mode current
   — 200 nA standby mode current
   — 9 mA read current
   — 15 mA program/erase current
■ Flexible sector architecture
   — Thirty-two 64 Kbyte sectors
   — Supports full chip erase
   — Sector Protection features:
      A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent any program or erase operations within that sector
      Sectors can be locked in-system or via programming equipment
      Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code changes in previously locked sectors
■ Unlock Bypass Program Command
   — Reduces overall programming time when issuing multiple program command sequences
■ Embedded Algorithms
   — Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and erases the entire chip or any combination of designated sectors
   — Embedded Program algorithm automatically writes and verifies data at specified addresses
■ Minimum 1,000,000 write cycle guarantee per sector
■ Package option
   — 48-ball FBGA
   — 40-pin TSOP
■ CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant
   — Provides device-specific information to the system, allowing host software to easily reconfigure for different Flash devices
■ Compatibility with JEDEC standards
   — Pinout and software compatible with single power supply Flash
   — Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
   — Provides a software method of detecting program or erase operation completion
■ Ready/Busy# pin (RY/BY#)
   — Provides a hardware method of detecting program or erase cycle completion
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
   — Suspends an erase operation to read data from, or program data to, a sector that is not being erased, then resumes the erase operation
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
   — Hardware method to reset the device to reading array data
