Fast Read throughput, Small Erase Blocks (1,056-Bytes) and Flexible Command Architecture Enables next Generation Feature-Rich Electronics Equipment with Optimal Cost

May 5, 2003- AtmelR Corporation announced that it has started shipping their 128-Megabit (Mbit) AT45DB1282 DataFlashR device. The 2.7V sequential access AT45DB1282 features two interfaces: an SPI compatible 40MHz RapidSTM serial interface with a read throughput of 5Mbytes/second, and a 20MHz Rapid8TM 8-bit synchronous interface with a read throughput of 20Mbytes per second with no page to page latencies. The AT45DB1282 represents a major step in Flash memory innovation offering the design engineer significantly more flexibility and performance than the other high-density Flash memory solutions currently available. This 128-Mbit device is the world's fastest serial interface flash memory, the simple 4-pin serial interface greatly simplifies system design, reduces pin-count, power consumption and switching noise. System designers can use either interface, or both to best support their end system requirements. This device has been designed to enable advanced features and functionality in a variety of high volume products and reduce total system cost. Applications benefiting from this architecture include; mobile phone handsets, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), digital still cameras, laser printers, set-top boxes, network switches and routers, telematics, point of sale terminals, car navigation and mapping products, industrial controls, medical and security systems as well as a full range of wireless products.

This device is first in a series of high-density, high-performance and low cost DataFlash memories manufactured using Atmel's e-STACTM Multi-Level Cell (MLC) memory technology, which allows a single cell to store two bits of information. The combination of the DataFlash architecture, very small page size (1,056-Bytes for both program and erase), on board SRAM buffers which allow for self contained rewriting to the flash memory array, low pin count interfaces and the e-STAC memory technology allows for a very flexible and low cost system solution.
