E
SMART 3 ADVANCED BOOT BLOCK–WORD-WIDE
convenient upgrade from and/or compatibility to
previous 4-Mbit and 8-Mbit Boot Block products.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Smart 3 product functions are similar to lower
density products in both command sets and
operation, providing similar pinouts to ease density
upgrades.
This
preliminary
datasheet
contains
the
specifications for the Advanced Boot Block flash
memory family, which is optimized for low power,
portable systems. This family of products features
1.8V–2.2V or 2.7V–3.6V I/Os and a low VCC/VPP
operating range of 2.7V–3.6V for read and
program/erase operations. In addition this family is
capable of fast programming at 12V. Throughout
this document, the term “2.7V” refers to the full
voltage range 2.7V–3.6V (except where noted
otherwise) and “VPP = 12V” refers to 12V ±5%.
Section 1 and 2 provides an overview of the flash
memory family including applications, pinouts and
pin descriptions. Section 3 describes the memory
organization and operation for these products.
The Smart 3 Advanced Boot Block flash memory
features
•
•
•
Enhanced blocking for easy segmentation of
code and data or additional design flexibility
Program Suspend command which permits
program suspend to read
WP# pin to lock and unlock the upper two (or
lower two, depending on location) 4-Kword
blocks
Finally, Sections 4, 5,
operating specifications.
6 and 7 contain the
