The X76F641 is a Password Access Security Supervisor,
containing one 65536-bit Secure Serial Flash array and
one 256-bit Secure Serial Flash array. Access to each
memory array is controlled by five 64-bit passwords
each. These passwords protect read and write opera-
tions of the memory array. A separate RESET password
is used to reset the passwords and clear the memory
arrays in the event the read and write passwords are lost.
The X76F641 features a serial interface and software
protocol allowing operation on a popular two wire bus.
The bus signals are a clock Input (SCL) and a bidirec-
tional data input and output (SDA).
The X76F641 also features a synchronous response to reset
providing an automatic output of a hard-wired 32-bit
data stream conforming to the industry standard for
memory cards.
The X76F641 utilizes Xicor’s proprietary Direct Write
providing a minimum endurance of 100,000 cycles
and a minimum data retention of 100 years.
