The MBM29F400TC/BC is a 4M-bit, 5.0 V-only Flash memory organized as 512K bytes of 8 bits each or 256K words of 16 bits each. The MBM29F400TC/BC is offered in a 48-pin TSOP and 44-pin SOP packages. This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 V VCC supply. 12.0 V VPP is not required for write or erase operations. The devices can also be reprogrammed in standard EPROM programmers. The standard MBM29F400TC/BC offers access times 55 ns and 90 ns allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip enable (CE), write enable (WE), and output enable (OE) controls.
The MBM29F400TC/BC is pin and command set compatible with JEDEC standard. Commands are written to the command register using standard microprocessor write timings. Register contents serve as input to an internal state-machine which controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed for the programming and erase operations. Reading data out of the devices is similar to reading from12.0 V Flash or EPROM devices.
The MBM29F400TC/BC is programmed by executing the program command sequence. This will invoke the Embedded Program Algorithm which is an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin. Typically, each sector can be programmed and verified in less than 0.5 seconds. Erase is accomplished by executing the erase command sequence. This will invoke the Embedded Erase Algorithm which is an internal algorithm that automatically preprograms the array if it is not already programmed before executing the erase operation. During erase, the device automatically times the erase pulse widt
