AT29LV256-15TC

AT29LV256-15TC application field and working principle

AT29LV256-15TC belongs to the memory category, and it is a Flash memory with an extended storage capacity. This type of memory is widely used in a variety of applications, from general purpose computing devices and embedded applications to server-based computing. It is also used in devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and other personal computing devices.

AT29LV256-15TC features many excellent characteristics that make it a best-in-class product. It is a high-speed, low-power device that offers a wide range of flexibility and performance. It is equipped with multi-level cell (MLC) technology, which allows for increased data storage capacity and improved power management over traditional single-level cell (SLC) technologies. Additionally, it is designed with a built-in Error Correction Code (ECC), which ensures data integrity and protects against data corruption.

The AT29LV256-15TC Flash is organized as 2,097,152 words of 8 bits per word and has a typical access time of 70 nanoseconds. It supports multiple operations, including erase, program, erase to zero, and copy. It is also pin compatible with devices using a 28-pin DIP package and offers a wide range of operating voltages from 3.3V to 5.5V. It is well suited for replacing EEPROMs and other non-volatile memory solutions in embedded and industrial applications.

AT29LV256-15TC has two main operating modes when used for programming purposes. The first mode is used to program the device and the second mode is used to read back the stored data. To program the device, the write enable (WE) signal must be asserted. Once the programming cycle is initiated, data can be written to the device in words of 8-bit width. Afterwards, the write enable (WE) signal must be deasserted to terminate the programmed cycle.

To read data from the device, the read enable (RE) signal must be asserted. The device can then be accessed in either 8-bit or 16-bit bursts, depending on the system requirements. The device is equipped with write inhibit (WI) for complete data protection against unintentional programming.

AT29LV256-15TC is an ideal solution for embedded systems requiring reliable, non-volatile Flash memory. Its versatility, excellent performance, and wide range of operating voltages make it suitable for use in many different applications. Its built-in ECC further enhances its reliability, ensuring data integrity and failsafe operation. Last but not least, its compact design and small footprint make it a great option for projects with limited space.
