Description
The Adesto® AT45DB021E is a 1.65 V minimum, serial-interface, sequential access Flash memory. It is ideally suited for a wide variety of digital voice, image, program code, and data storage applications. The AT45DB021E also supports the RapidS serial interface for applications requiring very high speed operation. Its 2,162,688 bits of memory are organized as 1,024 pages of 256 bytes or 264 bytes each. In addition to the main memory, AT45DB021E also contains one SRAM buffer of 256/264 bytes. The Buffer can be used as additional system scratch memory, and E2PROM emulation (bit or byte alterability) can be easily handled with a self-contained three step read-modify-write operation.
Unlike conventional Flash memories that are accessed randomly with multiple address lines and a parallel interface, the Adesto DataFlash® uses a serial interface to sequentially access its data. The simple sequential access dramatically reduces active pin count, facilitates simplified hardware layout, increases system reliability, minimizes switching noise, and reduces package size. The device is optimized for use in many commercial and industrial applications where high-density, low-pin count, low-voltage, and low-power are essential.
