GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Am29F010A is a 1 Mbit, 5.0 Volt-only Flash memory organized as 131,072 bytes. The Am29F010A is offered in 32-pin PLCC and TSOP packages. The byte-wide data appears on DQ0-DQ7. The device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 Volt VCC supply. A 12.0 volt VPP is not required for program or erase operations. The device can also be programmed or erased in standard EPROM programmers.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
