Description
The Adesto®
AT25PE16 is a 2.3V or 2.5V minimum, serial-interface sequential access Flash memory ideally suited for a
wide variety of digital voice, image, program code, and data storage applications. The AT25PE16 also supports the
RapidS serial interface for applications requiring very high speed operation. Its 17,301,504 bits of memory are organized
as 4,096 pages of 512 bytes (default) or 528 bytes (customer option) each. In addition to the main memory, the
AT25PE16 also contains two SRAM buffers of 512/528 bytes each. The buffers allow receiving of data while a page in
the main memory is being reprogrammed. Interleaving between both buffers can dramatically increase a system's ability
to write a continuous data stream. In addition, the SRAM buffers can be used as additional system scratch pad memory,
and E2PROM emulation (bit or byte alterability) can be easily handled with a self-contained three step read-modify-write
operation.
Unlike conventional Flash memories that are accessed randomly with multiple address lines and a parallel interface, the
Adesto DataFlash-L®
uses a serial interface to sequentially access its data. The simple sequential access dramatically
reduces active pin count, facilitates simplified hardware layout, increases system reliability, minimizes switching noise,
and reduces package size. The device is optimized for use in many commercial and industrial applications where
high-density, low-pin count, low-voltage, and low-power are essential.
To allow for simple in-system re-programmability, the AT25PE16 does not require high input voltages for programming.
The device operates from a single 2.3V to 3.6V or 2.5V to 3.6V power supply for the erase and program and read
operations. The AT25PE16 is enabled through the Chip Select pin (CS) and accessed via a 3-wire interface consisting of
the Serial Input (SI), Serial Output (SO), and the Serial Clock (SCK).
All programming and erase cycles are self-timed.
