Memory device offers a burst configuration in a flash
Texas Instruments announces the industry's first synchronous, non-volatile 4-megabit flash memory to offer a burst interface configurable to widths of 16 or 32 bits.
The new TMS28F033 flash device provides next-generation CPU and MCU applications with increased flexibility and speed at a competitive cost for performance.
This latest flash memory product meets the performance demands of high-speed data transfer in applications such as networking or high-end automobile engine management. In addition to offering a glueless x16/x32 interface, the '28F033 operates at frequencies up to 40 MHz and with data rates approaching 100 megabytes per second. The device also includes 24 kilobytes of protected memory for secure code.
For maximum flexibility, the device includes configurability for synchronous and asynchronous protocols, data bus width, 3-V or 5-V I/Os, linear or interleaved burst access and burst access latency.
The '28F033 is sampling now with volume production scheduled for 1Q98.
