General Description
The S29CD016G in Known Good Die (KGD) form is an 16 Mbit, 2.5 volt-only Flash
memory. Spansion defines KGD as standard product in die form, tested for func-
tionality and speed. Spansion KGD products have the same reliability and quality
as Spansion products in packaged form.
S29CD016G Features
The S29CD016G is a 16 Megabit, 2.5 Volt-only single power supply burst mode
flash memory device. The device is configured for 524,288 double words. The de-
vice can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
To eliminate bus contention, each device has separate chip enable (CE#), write
enable (WE#) and output enable (OE#) controls. Additional control inputs are re-
quired for synchronous burst operations: Load Burst Address Valid (ADV#), and
Clock (CLK).
Each device requires only a
single 2.5 or 2.6 Volt power supply
(2.5 V to 2.75
V) for both read and write functions. A 12.0-volt V
PP
is not required for program
or erase operations, although an acceleration pin is available if faster program-
ming performance is required.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the
JEDEC single-power-
supply Flash standard.
The
Unlock Bypass
mode facilitates faster programming times by requiring only
two write cycles to program data instead of four.
The
Simultaneous Read/Write architecture
provides simultaneous operation
by dividing the memory space into two banks. The device can begin programming
or erasing in the small bank, and then simultaneously read from the large bank,
with zero latency.
The device provides a 256-byte
SecSi™ (Secured Silicon) Sector
with an one-
time-programmable (OTP) mechanism.
In addition, the device features several levels of sector protection, which can dis-
able both the program and erase operations in certain sectors or sector groups:
Persistent Sector Protection
is a command sector protection method that re-
places the old 12 V controlled protection method;
Password Sector Protection
is a highly sophisticated protection method that requires a password before
changes to certain sectors or sector groups are permitted;
WP# Hardware Pro-
tection
prevents program or erase in the two outermost 8 Kbytes sectors of the
larger bank.
The device defaults to the Persistent Sector Protection mode. The customer must
then choose if the Standard or Password Protection method is most desirable. The
WP# Hardware Protection feature is always available, independent of the other
protection method chosen.
The
Versatile I/O™ (V
CCQ
)
feature allows the output voltage generated on the
device to be determined based on the V
IO
level. This feature allows this device to
operate in the 1.8 V I/O environment, driving and receiving signals to and from
other 1.8 V devices on the same bus. In addition, inputs and I/Os that are driven
externally are capable of handling 3.6 V.
The host system can detect whether a program or erase operation is complete by
observing the RY/BY# pin, by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling), or DQ6 (toggle)

status bits.
After a program or erase cycle has been 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
password and
software sector protection
feature disables both program and erase opera-
tions in any combination of sectors of memory. This can be achieved in-system
at V
CC
level.
The
Program/Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
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 device offers two power-saving features. When addresses have been 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 consump-
tion is greatly reduced in both these modes.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash memory manufacturing experi-
ence to produce the highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness.
The device electrically erases all bits within a sector simultaneously via
Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The data is programmed using hot electron injection.
