SHARP’s LH28F008SCT-L12
Flash memory with SmartVoltage
technology is a high-density, low-cost, nonvolatile,
?ead/write storage solution for a wide range of applications. Its symmetrically-blocked
architecture, flexible voltage
and extended cycling provide for highly flexible component suitable for resident flash arrays, SlMMs and memory
:ards. Its enhanced suspend capabilities provide for an ideal solution for code + data storage applications. For
secure code storage applications, such as networking,
where code is either directly executed out of flash or
downloaded to DRAM, the LH28F008SCT-L12
offers three levels of protection: absolute protection with V,, at
ZND, selective hardware block locking, or flexible software
block locking. These alternatives
give designers
Jltimate control of their code security needs.
The LH28F008SCT-L12
is manufactured
on SHARP’s
0.38um ETOXTM process
technology.
It come in
ndustry-standard
package: the 40-lead TSOP, ideal for board constrained applications. Based on the 28F008SA
architecture, the LH28F008SCT-L12
enables quick and easy upgrades for designs demanding the state-of-the-art.

These
similarities
enable a clean upgrade
from the
28F008SA to LH28F008SCT-L12.
When upgrading, it
is important to note the following differences:
*Because of new feature support, the two devices
have different device codes. This allows
for
software optimization.
l
VPPLK
has been lowered from 6.5V to l.5V to
support 3.3V and 5V block erase, byte write, and
lock-bit configuration operations. The V,, voltage

for designs
that switch V,, off during read operation.
technology,
A Command
User Interface (CUI) serves as the
interface between the system processor and interna
operation of the device. A valid command sequence
written to the CUI initiates device automation. An
internal Write State Machine (WSM) automatically
executes the algorithms and timings necessary
for
block erase, byte write, and lock-bit configuration
operations.
A block erase operation erases one of the device’s
64K-byte blocks typically within 0.3s (5V V,,, 12V
VP,) independent of other blocks. Each block can be
independently
erased
100,000 times (1.6 million
block erases per device). Block erase suspend mode
allows system software to suspend block erase to
read or write data from any other block.
Writing memory data is performed in byte increments
typically within 6u.s (5V Vcc, 12V Vpp). Byte write
suspend mode enables the system to read data or
execute code from any other flash memory array
location.
*To take advantage of SmartVoltage
allow V,, connection to 3.3V or 5V.
1.2 Product
Overview
The LH28F008SCT-L12
is a high-performance
8M-bit
SmartVoltage Flash memory organized as 1 M-byte of
3 bits. The IM-byte of data is arranged in sixteen
SK-byte
blocks
which are individually erasable,
ockable, and unlockable
in-system.
The memory
nap is shown in Figure 3.
