The AT49F512 is a 5-volt-only in-system programmable and erasable Flash Memory. Its 512K of memory is organized as 65,536 words by 8 bits. Manufactured with Atmel's advanced nonvolatile CMOS technology, the devices offer access times to 70 ns with a power dissipation of just 165 mW over the commercial temperature range. When the device is deselected, the CMOS standby current is less than 100 A. To allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the AT49F512 does not require high input voltages for programming. Five-volt-only commands determine the read and programming operation of the device. Reading data out of the device is similar to reading from an EPROM. Reprogramming the AT49F512 is performed by erasing the entire 512K of memory and then programming on a byte by byte basis. The typical byte programming time is a fast 10 s. The end of a program cycle can be optionally (continued)
