Additional Details

The AM29F016D-90E4F operates with a single 5.0V power supply, simplifying system design. The '90' in the part number often refers to the access time (90ns). It features sector erase capabilities, allowing specific blocks of memory to be erased without affecting other data, crucial for applications where selective data updating is required. This device also supports standard JEDEC commands for read, write, and erase operations, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microcontroller and microprocessor systems. It's particularly suited for applications requiring both non-volatility and the ability to quickly update stored data.

Given its classification as "Hard To Find", it may be a legacy part or one with limited availability. When integrating it into new designs, long-term availability should be carefully considered.
