Memory revolutionizes the design of high performance and durable
mass storage memory systems for the Industrial Avionics and Military markets With its innovative features
like low power blocked architecture high read write performance and expanded temperature range any
design or mission is free from the dependence on battery backed up memory or highly sensitive and slow
rotating media drives
Using the VE28F008 in a PCMCIA 2 1 Flash Memory card ATA drive or any size or shape module will allow
data application or operating systems to be updated or collected anywhere and at anytime This data on
demand feature ensures protection from obsolesce through field or in system software updates
The VE28F008’s highly integrated Command User Interface and Write State Machine decreases the size and
complexity of system software while providing high read write and erase performance The sixteen separately
erasable 64 Kbyte blocks along with a multiple write data protection system provides assurance that highly
important data will be available when needed
The VE28F008 is offered in a 40-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) which is capable of performing in
temperatures from
b
40 C to
a
125 C It employs advanced CMOS circuitry for systems requiring low power
consumption and noise immunity The VE28F008’s 95 ns access time provides superior performance when
compared to magnetic mass storage
Manufactured on Intel’s 0 8 micron ETOX
TM
III process the VE28F008 provides the highest levels of quality
reliability and cost effectiveness

The
Status Register
indicates the status of the
WSM and when the WSM successfully completes
the desired byte write or block erase operation
The
RY BY
output gives an additional indicator of
WSM activity providing capability for both hardware
signal of status (versus software polling) and status
masking (interrupt masking for background erase
for example) Status polling using RY BY minimizes
both CPU overhead and system power consump-
tion When low RY BY indicates that the WSM is
performing a block erase or byte write operation
RY BY high indicates that the WSM is ready for new
commands block erase is suspended or the device
is in deep powerdown mode

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The VE28F008 is a high-performance
8 Mbit
(8 388 608 bit) memory organized as
1 Mbyte
(1 048 576 bytes) of 8 bits each
Sixteen 64 Kbyte
(65 536 byte)
blocks
are included on the VE28F008
A memory map is shown in Figure 4 of this specifica-
tion A block erase operation erases one of the six-
teen blocks of memory in typically
1 6 seconds
in-
dependent of the remaining blocks Each block can
be independently erased and written
10 000 cycles
Erase Suspend
mode allows system software to
suspend block erase to read data or execute code
from any other block of the VE28F008
The VE28F008 is available in a
40-lead TSOP
pack-
age Pinout is shown in Figure 2 of this specification
The
Command User Interface
serves as the inter-
face between the microprocessor or microcontroller
and the internal operation of the VE28F008
Byte Write and Block Erase Automation
allow
byte write and block erase operations to be execut-
ed using a two-write command sequence to the
Command User Interface The internal
Write State
Machine
(WSM) automatically executes the algo-
rithms and timings necessary for byte write and
block erase operations including verifications
thereby unburdening the microprocessor or micro-
controller Writing of memory data is performed in
byte increments typically within
9

provement over current flash memory products

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The VE28F008 includes on-chip write automation to
manage write and erase functions The Write State
Machine allows for 100% TTL-level control inputs
fixed power supplies during block erasure and byte
write and minimal processor overhead with RAM-
like interface timings
After initial device powerup or after return from
deep powerdown mode (see Bus Operations) the
VE28F008 functions as a read-only memory Manip-
ulation of external memory-control pins allow array
read standby and output disable operations Both
Status Register and intelligent identifier can
also be accessed through the Command User Inter-
face when V

erasure and byte writing of the device All functions
associated with altering memory contents byte
write block erase status and intelligent identifier
are accessed via the Command User Interface and
verified thru the Status Register
Commands are written using standard microproces-
sor write timings Command User Interface contents
serve as input to the WSM which controls the block
