M29F160FT55N3F2 TR

Memory IC Overview

The M29F160FT55N3F2 is a 16Mb (2 Meg x 8 or 1 Meg x 16) parallel NOR flash memory device manufactured by Micron Technology Inc. It operates on a single 5V supply with an access time of 55ns and supports asynchronous read/write operations. The device features top boot block architecture, offering independent block erase capabilities and hardware write protection. It is housed in a 48-pin TSOP package and certified for automotive Grade 3 applications, functioning reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports embedded byte/word programming algorithms managed by an on-chip program/erase controller.
• Features erase suspend and resume modes to allow code execution during background erasure.
• Provides independent block protection to prevent accidental program or erase operations.
• Complies with JEDEC standards for command interface and Common Flash Interface (CFI).

Memory IC Applications

• Automotive instrument clusters and dashboards
• In-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems
• Industrial embedded control systems
• Networking equipment firmware storage

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'F2' against official Micron documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging details. Ensure the selected variant matches the required temperature grade and boot block configuration for your application design.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16Mb capacity with 55ns access speed is required for parallel NOR flash applications. Consider the top boot block layout if small initialization code storage at the beginning of the address space is necessary. Verify compatibility with the target microprocessor's bus width and voltage levels.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Micron M29F series of 5V Parallel NOR Flash Embedded Memory devices. It shares architectural similarities with other densities in the family, such as the M29F200, M29F400, and M29F800, but offers a higher density of 16Mb. The 'T' designation indicates a top boot block configuration, distinguishing it from bottom boot variants.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other M29F160 variants with different boot configurations (e.g., M29F160FB55N3E2 for bottom boot). Cross-vendor equivalents should be evaluated based on pinout compatibility, timing parameters, and command set adherence.
