S29AL016D70BFI020 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this flash memory?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the S29AL016D70BFI020 is -40°C to +85°C.
• How do I handle the hold signal (HOLD#) during read and write operations?
  The HOLD# signal should be asserted low to pause the current operation and de-asserted high to resume the operation. During this time, the device will tri-state its outputs.
• What is the purpose of the write protect (WP#) signal?
  The WP# signal is used to prevent accidental writes to the device. When WP# is low, the device is in write-protect mode, and all write operations are inhibited.
• How do I determine the device density and organization?
  The S29AL016D70BFI020 is a 16Mb (2M x 8) flash memory device, organized as 2048 blocks of 8192 bytes each.
• What is the typical programming time for this device?
  The typical programming time for the S29AL016D70BFI020 is 10-15 seconds for a full chip erase, and 2-5 seconds for a sector erase.
