GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F016B is a 16 Mbit, 5.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes. The 8 bits of data appear on DQ0–DQ7. The Am29F016B is offered in 48-pin and 40-pin TSOP, and 44-pin SO packages. This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply. A 12.0 volt VPP is not required for program or erase operations. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ 5.0 V ± 10%, single power supply operation
    — Minimizes system level power requirements
■ Manufactured on 0.35 µm process technology
    — Compatible with 0.5 µm Am29F016 device
■ High performance
    — Access times as fast as 70 ns
■ Low power consumption
    — 25 mA typical active read current
    — 30 mA typical program/erase current
    — 1 µA typical standby current (standard access time to active mode)
■ Flexible sector architecture
    — 32 uniform sectors of 64 Kbytes each
    — Any combination of sectors can be erased
    — Supports full chip erase
    — Group sector protection:
        A hardware method of locking sector groups to prevent any program or erase operations within that sector group
        Temporary Sector Group Unprotect allows code changes in previously locked sectors
■ 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 bytes at specified addresses
■ Minimum 1,000,000 program/erase cycles per sector guaranteed
■ Package options
    — 48-pin and 40-pin TSOP
    — 44-pin SO
■ Compatible with JEDEC standards
    — Pinout and software compatible with single-power-supply Flash standard
    — Superior inadvertent write protection
■ Data# Polling and toggle bits
    — Provides a software method of detecting program or erase cycle completion
■ Ready/Busy# output (RY/BY#)
    — Provides a hardware method for detecting program or erase cycle completion
■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
    — Suspends a sector erase operation to read data from, or program data to, a non-erasing sector, then resumes the erase operation
■ Hardware reset pin (RESET#)
    — Resets internal state machine to the read mode
