Is S29PL127J60BFI040 a replacement part of S29PL127J60BFI000A?

Please confirm.

Thank you,Shun Furusawa

Hello All,

We are planning to use the S29GL032N Flash Memory device in our design to securely store critical Look Up tables. The Tables will be loaded only once at factory and never updated in the field. The main requirement is to prevent illegal reading of the Look Up Table contents by removing the Flash Device from the motherboard. Does the "Password Sector Protection" support this by requiring a password to read data from the chip or is it only applicable for writing/erasing sectors of the  Flash Device?

Look forward to your responses.

Many Thanks.

Hope this note find you all well in 2019.

As per Arrow FAE recommendation we used migration path Flash chips on our boards, but we are having some technical issues. I will really appreciate if you could please help and resolve this issue for us.

We made custom board based of 440EPX Sequoia board with S29GL512P flash in year 2010. We were able to get those boards working all these years. Now those S29GL512P flash chips are obsolete and so we used the migration path chip S29GL512S in our latest boards. We tried to use the same Uboot, etc on these boards and they don’t work.

We really appreciate if you could help us debug and resolve this problem.

Best regards

Madhu

Per Product Termination Notification PTN#185104, S29AL016J70TAI020 is declared as OBSOLETE and no replacement part has been recommended.

As this is a Non-RoHS part, I narrowed down the below replacement parts from the same series which are RoHS Compliant and support wider operating temperature ranges.

• S29AL016J70TFA020
• S29AL016J70TFI020
• S29AL016J70TFN020

Does any of the above parts differ in electrical, mechanical and performance specs when compared to the existing part S29AL016J70TAI020?

Having Vcc = 3.3V, and Vio = 1.8V. What happens if I do not sequence Vcc and Vio?

The sequencing of Vcc and Vio in S29GL01GT datasheet conflicts with FPGA power sequencing, and causes all sorts of problems.

Thanks.

I'm using S25FL128S with STM32F207 is there any sample code for S25FL128S for writing 1024 Bytes and read same data.
