The Intel StrataFlash
®
wireless memory (L18) device is the latest generation of Intel
StrataFlash
®
memory devices featuring flexible, multiple-partition, dual operation. It provides
high performance synchronous-burst read mode and asynchronous read mode using 1.8 V low-
voltage, multi-level cell (MLC) technology.
The multiple-partition architecture enables background programming or erasing to occur in one
partition while code execution or data reads take place in another partition. This dual-operation
architecture also allows a system to interleave code operations while program and erase
operations take place in the background. The 8-Mbit or 16-Mbit partitions allow system
designers to choose the size of the code and data segments. The L18 wireless memory device is
manufactured using Intel 0.13 µm ETOX™ VIII process technology. It is available in industry-
standard chip scale packaging.
