GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F017B 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 Am29F017B is offered in a 48-pin TSOP package. 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
■ Optimized for memory card applications
   — Backwards-compatible with the Am29F016C
■ 5.0 V ± 10%, single power supply operation
   — Minimizes system level power requirements
■ Manufactured on 0.35 µm process technology
■ 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 TSOP
■ 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
