General Description
   The A29L160A is a 16Mbit, 3.3 volt-only Flash memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes of 8 bits or 1,048,576 words of 16 bits each. The 8 bits of data appear on I/O0 - I/O7; the 16 bits of data appear on I/O0~I/O15. The A29L160A is offered in 48-ball FBGA, 44-pin SOP and 48-Pin TSOP packages. This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 3.3 volt VCC supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for in-system write or erase operations. However, the A29L160A can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.

   The A29L160A has the first toggle bit, I/O6, which indicates whether an Embedded Program or Erase is in progress, or it is in the Erase Suspend. Besides the I/O6 toggle bit, the A29L160A has a second toggle bit, I/O2, to indicate whether the addressed sector is being selected for erase. The A29L160A also offers the ability to program in the Erase Suspend mode. The standard A29L160A offers access times of 70 and 90ns, allowing high-speed microprocessors to operate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip enable (CE ), write enable ( WE ) and output enable (OE ) controls. The device requires only a single 3.3 volt power supply for both read and write functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages are provided for the program and erase operations.
