2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K8S(10/11/12/13)15E featuring single 1.8V power supply is a 512Mbit
Muxed Burst Multi Bank Flash Memory organized as 32Mx16. The memory
architecture of the device is designed to divide its memory arrays into
512blocks(Uniform block part)/515 blocks (Boot block part) with indepen-
dent hardware protection. This block architecture provides highly flexible
erase and program capability. The K8S(10/11/12/13)15E NOR Flash con-
sists of sixteen banks. This device is capable of reading data from one bank
while programming or erasing in the other bank. Regarding read access
time, the K8S10/1215E provides an 11ns burst access time and an 95ns
initial access time at 66MHz. At 83MHz, the K8S10/1215E provides an 9ns
burst access time and an 95ns initial access time. At 108MHz, the K8S11/
1315E provides an 7ns burst access time and an 95ns initial access time.
At 133MHz, the K8S11/1315E provides an 6ns burst access time and an
95ns initial access time. The device performs a program operation in units
of 16 bits (Word) and erases in units of a block. Single or multiple blocks
can be erased. The block erase operation is completed within typically
0.6sec. The device requires 25mA as program/erase current in the
extended temperature ranges.
The K8S(10/11/12/13)15E NOR Flash Memory is created by using Sam-
sung's advanced CMOS process technology.
