(PRWEB) October 20, 2000
London, October 18 2000 Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe has announced a 32Mbit page-mode Flash memory family with 32-bit data transfer and a high speed read time of just 20ns.
Jointly developed with Fujitsus collaborative partner Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), the new MBM29PL3200 series are the first devices of their type to offer 32-bit data transfer to meet the demands of the ever-faster microprocessors used in todays high performance, multi-functional systems.
Following-on from Fujitsus existing 16Mbit high speed page-mode Flash memories, which have found favour in a host of applications where high speed read function is demanded, this latest 32Mbit series are ideally suited for use in automotive navigation systems, network interface cards, advanced inkjet and laser printers and other high performance systems.
The devices are housed in the same SSOP (Shrink Small Outline L-Leaded Package) enclosure used by page access-type mask-ROM, allowing them to be mounted on the same board as the mask-ROM. Other features include a
Hi-ROM (Hidden Read Only Memory) function to prevent illegal copies and an accelerator function for speeding write time.
By using page-mode Flash memories of this type, designers are also able to eliminate shadow RAM or bank interleaving, hence reducing system cost.
Engineering samples of the new devices are now available.
