DateFrom
24/02/17 AMIC Technology

We are designing a successor for the A29040C called A29040D. This part will become available in Q2.
Its pin out , form factor and programming ID will be identical to its predecessor. So any design around the A29040C will be suitable for the A29040D.

In case you consider the 3 volt option we advise A29L040B which is also in design and will be released in Q3 this year.

All these new designs are necessary to transfer to new wafer processes allowing long term availability.
In either case we look forward to supply your design.

With best regards,

PCB Improvements

There are changes that have been requested.

  • Real GOLD to be used on the card connector, instead of flash gold currently used.
  • Pads on the chips to be made larger for easier hand soldering.
  • 4 Layer board to be considered

Changing 5V to 3.3V

The following points to be considered

  • The supply voltage to be changed from 5v to 3..3V with a voltage regulator.
  • Signals levels to be converted with level converters.

Boot sector protect WP# input

The MX29LV800C and S29AL008J flash have virtually identical footprints and pinouts.

The only significant difference being the S29AL008J devices have a hardware WP# input (pin
#14 of the 48-TSOP package and pin B3 of the 48-BGA package) to protect the boot sector. These same pins are NC on the MX29LV800C devices. This difference will be transparent if the WP# pin is left unconnected or pulled high.

Command Set and Firmware

Basic commands and write status checking methods are the same for the chips shown above.

The Read operation and Write command could be used directly without any modification. Table below shows the command set in Word mode.

Spansion are putting their 1M AMD Flash chips on End of Life EOL.

...

AMIC may have had some 5v replacements A29800, A29801 these are no longer available.

The package is slightly larger, they do not fully match.

Once stocks of the Am29F080B device are depleted, there is no replacement.
