Product Overview

The 0.25 μ 3 Volt Intel StrataFlash memory family contains high-density memories organized as 16 Mbytes or 8 Mwords (128-Mbit), 8 Mbytes or 4 Mwords (64-Mbit), and 4 Mbytes or 2 Mwords (32-Mbit). These devices can be accessed as 8- or 16-bit words. The 128-Mbit device is organized as one-hundred-twenty-eight 128-Kbyte (131,072 bytes) erase blocks. The 64-Mbit device is organized as sixty-four 128-Kbyte erase blocks while the 32-Mbits device contains thirty-two 128-Kbyte erase blocks. Blocks are selectively and individually lockable and unlockable in system. A 128-bit protection register has multiple uses, including unique flash device identification.
