Description

The AT45DQ161 is a 2.3V minimum, serial-interface sequential access Flash memory ideally suited for a wide variety of

digital voice, image, program code, and data storage applications. The AT45DQ161 also supports Dual-I/O, Quad-I/O

and the RapidS serial interface for applications requiring very high speed operation. Its 17,301,504 bits of memory are

organized as 4,096 pages of 512 bytes or 528 bytes each. In addition to the main memory, the AT45DQ161 also contains

two SRAM buffers of 512/528 bytes each. The buffers allow receiving of data while a page in the main memory is being

reprogrammed. Interleaving between both buffers can dramatically increase a system's ability to write a continuous data

stream. In addition, the SRAM buffers can be used as additional system scratch pad memory, and E2

PROM emulation

(bit or byte alterability) can be easily handled with a self-contained three step read-modify-write operation.

Unlike conventional Flash memories that are accessed randomly with multiple address lines and a parallel interface, the

DataFlash® uses a serial interface to sequentially access its data. The simple sequential access dramatically reduces

active pin count, facilitates simplified hardware layout, increases system reliability, minimizes switching noise, and

reduces package size. The device is optimized for use in many commercial and industrial applications where highdensity, low-pin count, low-voltage, and low-power are essential.

To allow for simple in-system re-programmability, the AT45DQ161 does not require high input voltages for programming.

The device operates from a single 2.3V to 3.6V power supply for the erase and program and read operations. The

AT45DQ161 is enabled through the Chip Select pin (CS) and accessed via a 3-wire interface consisting of the Serial

Input (SI), Serial Output (SO), and the Serial Clock (SCK).

All programming and erase cycles are self-timed.
