14 512K CMOS Serial Flash – MX25L512
14.1 General Description
The MX25L512 is a CMOS 524,288 bit serial Flash memory, which is configured as
65,536 x 8 internally. The MX25L512 feature a serial peripheral interface and software
protocol allowing operation on a simple 3-wire bus. The three bus signals are a clock
input (SCLK), a serial data input (SI), and a serial data output (SO). SPI access to the
device is enabled by CS# input. The MX25L512 provide sequential read operation on
whole chip. After program/erase command is issued, auto program/ erase algorithms
which program/ erase and verify the specified page or sector/block locations will be
executed. Program command is executed on page (256 bytes) basis, and erase
command is executes on chip or sector (4K-bytes). To provide user with ease of interface,
a status register is included to indicate the status of the chip. The status read
command can be issued to detect completion status of a program or erase operation via
WIP bit. When the device is not in operation and CS# is high, it is put in standby mode
and draws less than 10uA DC current. The MX25L512 utilize MXIC's proprietary memory
cell, which reliably stores memory contents even after 100,000 program and erase cycles.
