2-MBIT SmartVoltage BOOT BLOCK FAMILY

2.0

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2.1

Memory Blocking Organization

This product family features an asymmetrically-

blocked architecture providing system memory

integration. Each erase block can be erased

independently of the others up to 100,000 times for

commercial temperature or up to 10,000 times for

extended temperature. The block sizes have been

chosen to optimize their functionality for common

applications of nonvolatile storage. The combination

of block sizes in the boot block architecture allow

the integration of several memories into a single

chip. For the address locations of the blocks, see

the memory maps in Figures 4 and 5.

2.1.1

ONE 16-KB BOOT BLOCK

The boot block is intended to replace a dedicated

boot PROM in a microprocessor or microcontroller-

based system. The 16-Kbyte (16,384 bytes) boot

block is located at either the top (denoted by -T

suffix) or the bottom (-B suffix) of the address map

to accommodate different microprocessor protocols

for boot code location. This boot block features

hardware controllable write-protection to protect the

crucial microprocessor boot code from accidental

modification. The protection of the boot block is

controlled using a combination of the VPP, RP#, and

WP# pins, as is detailed in Section 3.4.

2.1.2

TWO 8-KB PARAMETER BLOCKS

The boot block architecture includes parameter

blocks to facilitate storage of frequently updated

small parameters that would normally require an

EEPROM. By using software techniques, the byte-

rewrite functionality of EEPROMs can be emulated.

These techniques are detailed in Intel’s application

note

AP-604, Using Intel’s Boot Block Flash

Memory Parameter Blocks to Replace EEPROM.

Each boot block component contains two parameter

blocks of 8 Kbytes (8,192 bytes) each. The

parameter blocks are not write-protectable.

2.1.3

ONE 96-KB + ONE 128-KB MAIN

BLOCK

After the allocation of address space to the boot

and parameter blocks, the remainder is divided into

main blocks for data or code storage. Each 2-Mbit

device contains one 96-Kbyte (98,304 byte) block

and one 128-Kbyte (131,072 byte) block. See the

memory maps for each device for more information.
