Technical Specifications

The S29AL008J70TFI023 operates with a single 3.0V power supply. It has a fast read access time, typically 70 ns. The sector erase architecture allows individual sectors to be erased without affecting other sectors. The program suspend and resume feature allows program operations to be temporarily suspended to perform read operations and then resumed later. The unlock bypass program command reduces the programming time. The device is available in various package options, such as TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) or PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier). The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. The data retention is typically 20 years.

This Flash memory device is widely used in embedded systems and other applications requiring non-volatile storage and simultaneous read/write capability. Its low power consumption and high reliability make it suitable for battery-powered devices and harsh environments. The sector erase architecture simplifies memory management and reduces system downtime. It is a popular choice for engineers designing various electronic equipment requiring reliable and efficient non-volatile storage.
