NX26F640C

Serial SRAM

One of the most powerful features of the NX26F640C is

the integrated dual Serial SRAMs. The main purpose of

the Serial SRAMs is to serve as a buffer for sector data to

be written into the Serial Flash memory array. Using the

Write to Sector command, data is first shifted into the

SRAM from the NXS2 bus. When the command sequence

has been completed, the entire 522-bytes is written to the

selected sector. See Erase/Write cycle timing (tWP).

The SRAM is fully byte-addressable. Thus, the entire

522-bytes, a single byte, or a sequence of bytes can be

read from, or written to the SRAM. This allows the SRAM

to be used as a temporary work area for read-modify-write

operations prior to a sector write.

The Transfer Sector to SRAM command allows the

contents of a specified sector of Flash memory to be

moved to the SRAM (see figure 5). This can be useful

when only a portion of a sector needs to be altered. In this

case the sector is first transferred to the SRAM, where

modifications are made using the Write to SRAM com-

mand. Once modifications are completed, a Transfer

SRAM to Sector command is used to update the sector.

Using the SRAM Independent of Flash Memory

The SRAM can be used independently of Flash memory

operations for lookup tables, variable storage, or scratch

pad purposes. If the Flash memory needs to be written to

while SRAM is being used for a different purpose, the

contents can be temporarily stored to a sector and then

transferred back again when needed. The SRAM can be

especially useful for RAM-limited microcontroller-based

systems, eliminating the need for external SRAM and

freeing pins for other purposes. It can also make it possible

to use small pin-count microcontrollers, since only a few

pins are needed for the interface instead of the 20-40 pins

required for parallel bus-oriented Flash devices.
