GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The K8A(10/11/12/13)15E featuring single 1.8V power supply is a 512Mbit Muxed Burst Multi Bank Flash Memory organized as 32Mx16. The memory architecture of the device is designed to divide its memory arrays into 512blocks(Uniform block part)/515blocks(Boot block part) with independent hardware protection. This block architecture provides highly flexible erase and program capability. The K8A(10/11/12/13)15E NOR Flash consists of sixteen banks. This device is capable of reading data from one bank while programming or erasing in the other bank. Regarding read access time, the K8A10/1215E provides an 11ns burst access time and an 95ns initial access time at 66MHz.
