Description
The
NexFlash
NX26F011A and NX26F041A Serial Flash
Memories are tailored for portable/mobile media-storage
applications that transfer and store data, audio and images.
Manufactured using NexFlash
’
spatented single transistor
EEPROM memory cell, the NX26F011A and NX26F041A
provide a high-density, low-voltage, low-power, and cost
effective solution for battery-operated nonvolatile data
storage requirements. The NX26F011A and NX26F041A
can operate with a single 5V or 3V supply for Read, Write,
and Erase. Power consumption is very low due to
μ
A
standby current and fast Erase/Write performance (as fast
as 5 ms per sector) that minimizes power-on time, resulting
in a highly efficient energy-per-transfer ratio. The NX26F011A
PRE-RELEASE
MAY 1999
and NX26F041A offer 1M-bits and 4M-bits of Flash memory
organized in sectors of 264 bytes each. Each sector is
individually addressable through basic commands or
control functions such as Reset, Read, Erase/Write, and
Ready/Busy. The NXS (NexFlashSerial) 2-wire serial
interface is ideal for use with microcontrollers since it only
requires two pins. This leaves pins normally used for parallel
Flash free for other uses. The NXS interface supports clock
rates as fast as 16 MHz and allows for multi-device cascading
of up to 16 devices. It also simplifies PC-board layout and
generates less transient noise than parallel devices. Devel-
opment is supported with the NexFlash Serial Flash
Development Kit.
