General Description

The A29002 is a 5.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as 262,144 bytes of 8 bits each. The A29002 offers the RESET function, but it is not available on A290021. The 256 Kbytes of data are further divided into seven sectors for flexible sector erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on I/O0 - I/O7 while the addresses are input on A0 to A17. The A29002 is offered in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP, and PDIP packages. This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for in-system write or erase operations. However, the A29002 can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

■ Erase Suspend/Erase Resume

- Suspends a sector erase operation to read data from, or program data to, a non-erasing sector, then resumes the erase operation

■ Hardware reset pin (RESET )

- Hardware method to reset the device to reading array data (not available on A290021)

■ Package options

- 32-pin P-DIP, PLCC, or TSOP (Forward type)
