Working Principle

The MX30LF1208AA-TI consists of two main components: the memory core and a high-speed serial interface. The memory core is a single-transistor, floating-gate NMOS device, similar to EEPROM memory. This memory core is connected to the serial interface, which consists of a simple logic circuit, which is used to control the transfer between the system logic and the internal memory array. The logic processor is connected to the system logic via an 8-pin serial bus.

The serial bus is an 8-bit total bus; 8 clocks are transferred in one data cycle, and 8 bits of data can be transmitted. By setting the appropriate commands and address values, the corresponding data can be read and written. In addition, the serial transfer for reading and writing is conducted in page form; that is, a page unit is read and written at one time.

MX30LF1208AA-TI can be programmed and erased in the whole chip, sector and block. The programming time and erase time depend on the capacity of the chip and the type of operation. The programming time is generally less than 0.45ms and the erase time is generally less than 1.65ms.

In addition, MX30LF1208AA-TI also has a built-in error correction code(ECC) algorithm, which provides a higher reliability of data transmission. It can detect and correct errors during data transmission, in order to ensure the accuracy of the data delivered.
