Product Features
The Intel
Advanced+ Book Block Flash Memory (C3) device, manufactured on Intel's latest
0.13
m and 0.18
m technologies, represents a feature-rich solution for low-power applications.
The C3 device incorporates low-voltage capability (3 V read, program, and erase) with high-
speed, low-power operation. Flexible block locking allows any block to be independently locked
or unlocked. Add to this the Intel
Flash Data Integrator (FDI) software and you have a cost-
effective, flexible, monolithic code plus data storage solution. Intel
Advanced+ Boot Block Flash
Memory (C3) products will be available in 48-lead TSOP, 48-ball CSP, and 64-ball Easy BGA
packages. Additional information on this product family can be obtained by accessing the Intel
Flash website: http://www.intel.com/design/flash.
