1. Description
The AT29C512 is a 5-volt only in-system Flash programmable and erasable read only
memory (PEROM). Its 512K of memory is organized as 65,536 words by 8 bits. Man-
ufactured with Atmel鈥檚 advanced nonvolatile CMOS technology, the device offers
access times to 70 ns with power dissipation of just 275 mW over the commercial tem-
perature range. When the device is deselected, the CMOS standby current is less
than 100 碌A(chǔ). The device endurance is such that any sector can typically be written to
in excess of 10,000 times.
To allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the AT29C512 does not require high
input voltages for programming. Five-volt-only commands determine the operation of
the device. Reading data out of the device is similar to reading from an EPROM.
Reprogramming the AT29C512 is performed on a sector basis; 128 bytes of data are
loaded into the device and then simultaneously programmed.
During a reprogram cycle, the address locations and 128 bytes of data are internally
latched, freeing the address and data bus for other operations. Following the initiation
of a program cycle, the device will automatically erase the sector and then program
the latched data using an internal control timer. The end of a program cycle can be
detected by DATA polling of I/O7. Once the end of a program cycle has been
detected, a new access for a read or program can begin.
