GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MT28F321P20 and MT28F321P18 are high-performance, high-density, nonvolatile memory solutions that can significantly improve system performance. This new architecture features a two-memory-bank configuration that supports background operation with no latency.
A high-performance bus interface allows a fast page mode, data transfer; a conventional asynchronous bus interface is provided as well.
The devices allow soft protection for blocks, as read only, by configuring soft protection registers with dedicated command sequences. For security purposes, two 64-bit chip protection registers are provided.
