Notice On Data Sheet Designations
Spansion LLC issues data sheets with Advance Information or Preliminary designations to advise
readers of product information or intended specifications throughout the product life cycle, in-
cluding development, qualification, initial production, and full production. In all cases, however,
readers are encouraged to verify that they have the latest information before finalizing their de-
sign. The following descriptions of Spansion data sheet designations are presented here to high-
light their presence and definitions.
Advance Information
The Advance Information designation indicates that Spansion LLC is developing one or more spe-
cific products, but has not committed any design to production. Information presented in a doc-
ument with this designation is likely to change, and in some cases, development on the product
may discontinue. Spansion LLC therefore places the following conditions upon Advance Informa-
tion content:
“This document contains information on one or more products under development at Spansion LLC. The
information is intended to help you evaluate this product. Do not design in this product without con-
tacting the factory. Spansion LLC reserves the right to change or discontinue work on this proposed
product without notice.”
Preliminary
The Preliminary designation indicates that the product development has progressed such that a
commitment to production has taken place. This designation covers several aspects of the prod-
uct life cycle, including product qualification, initial production, and the subsequent phases in the
manufacturing process that occur before full production is achieved. Changes to the technical
specifications presented in a Preliminary document should be expected while keeping these as-
pects of production under consideration. Spansion places the following conditions upon Prelimi-
nary content:
“This document states the current technical specifications regarding the Spansion product(s) described
herein. The Preliminary status of this document indicates that product qualification has been completed,
and that initial production has begun. Due to the phases of the manufacturing process that require
maintaining efficiency and quality, this document may be revised by subsequent versions or modifica-
tions due to changes in technical specifications.”
Combination
Some data sheets will contain a combination of products with different designations (Advance In-
formation, Preliminary, or Full Production). This type of document will distinguish these products
and their designations wherever necessary, typically on the first page, the ordering information
page, and pages with DC Characteristics table and AC Erase and Program table (in the table
notes). The disclaimer on the first page refers the reader to the notice on this page.
Full Production (No Designation on Document)
When a product has been in production for a period of time such that no changes or only nominal
changes are expected, the Preliminary designation is removed from the data sheet. Nominal
changes may include those affecting the number of ordering part numbers available, such as the
addition or deletion of a speed option, temperature range, package type, or V
IO
range. Changes
may also include those needed to clarify a description or to correct a typographical error or incor-
rect specification. Spansion LLC applies the following conditions to documents in this category:
“This document states the current technical specifications regarding the Spansion product(s) described
herein. Spansion LLC deems the products to have been in sufficient production volume such that sub-
sequent versions of this document are not expected to change. However, typographical or specification
corrections, or modifications to the valid combinations offered may occur.”
Questions regarding these document designations may be directed to your local AMD or Fujitsu
sales office.

General Description
The S29AL008D is an 8 Mbit, 3.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as 1,048,576
bytes or 524,288 words. The device is offered in 48-ball FBGA, 44-pin SO, and
48-pin TSOP packages. For more information, refer to publication number 21536.
The word-wide data (x16) appears on DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data ap-
pears on DQ7–DQ0. This device requires only a single, 3.0 volt V
CC
supply to
perform read, program, and erase operations. A standard EPROM programmer
can also be used to program and erase the device.
This device is manufactured using Spansion’s 200nm process technology, and of-
fers all the features and benefits of the Am29LV800B, which was manufactured
using 0.32 µm process technology.
The standard device offers access times of 70, 90, and 120 ns, allowing high
speed microprocessors to operate without wait states. To eliminate bus conten-
tion the device contains separate chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and
output enable (OE#) controls.
The device requires only a
single 3.0 volt power supply
for both read and write
functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages are provided for the pro-
gram and erase operations.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the
JEDEC single-power-
supply Flash standard.
Commands are written to the command register using
standard microprocessor write timings. Register contents serve as input to an in-
ternal state-machine that 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 device is similar to reading from other
Flash or EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by executing the program command sequence. This
initiates the
Embedded Program
algorithm—an internal algorithm that auto-
matically times the program pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin. The
Unlock Bypass
mode facilitates faster programming times by requiring only two
write cycles to program data instead of four.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command sequence. This initiates
the
Embedded Erase
algorithm—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
widths and verifies proper cell margin.
The host system can detect whether a program or erase operation is complete by
observing the RY/BY# pin, or by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6 (tog-
gle)
status bits.
After a program or erase cycle is completed, the device is ready
to read array data or accept another command.
The
sector erase architecture
allows memory sectors to be erased and repro-
grammed without affecting the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection
measures include a low V
CC
detector that automat-
ically inhibits write operations during power transitions. The
hardware sector
protection
feature disables both program and erase operations in any combina-
tion of the sectors of memory. This can be achieved in-system or via
programming equipment.

The
Erase Suspend
feature enables the user to put erase on hold for any period
of time to read data from, or program data to, any sector that is not selected for
erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.
The
hardware RESET# pin
terminates any operation in progress and resets the
internal state machine to reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to the
system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the device, enabling
the system microprocessor to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
The device offers two power-saving features. When addresses are stable for a
specified amount of time, the device enters the
automatic sleep mode.
The
system can also place the device into the
standby mode.
Power consumption is
greatly reduced in both these modes.
Spansion’s Flash technology combines years of Flash memory manufacturing ex-
perience to produce the highest levels of quality, reliability and cost
effectiveness. The device electrically erases all bits within a sector simulta-
neously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The data is programmed using hot
electron injection.
