-- Micron Technology, Inc., Announces Industry Samples of 16 Megabit Enhanced Boot -- Block Flash Devices Business/High Tech Editors BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2000--Micron Technology, Inc. (NYSE:MU) today announced the availability of 16Mb Boot Block Flash samples (MT28F160A3FD and MT28F160C3FD). These devices offer asynchronous random read access time of 90ns at 2.7V, and are suitable for the low-power applications, such as; mobile phones, digital TVs, digital set-top boxes, decoders, routers, switches, NICs, and modems. Micron continues to enlarge its flash product with these two new Boot Block Flash devices designed for low-power, high-performance applications. Both 16Mb flash devices are part of Micron's wireless family of flash products. "We are excited to announce the addition of these two memory devices dedicated to the wireless market and other low-power applications to Micron's Flash family," said Mario Fazio, Micron Technology's Wireless Flash Marketing Director. "These devices together with the 16Mb Burst Boot Block Flash device will fulfill the needs of the more demanding systems, while operating at low voltage and low power." One of these new devices (MT28F160C3FD) also features soft-protection for blocks as read-only by configuring soft-protection registers with dedicated command sequences. For security purposes, a one-time programmable area (OTP) with 128 bits is provided. This protection memory area is stored separately from the main memory array, ensuring protection against cloning or other fraudulent uses of the end equipment. Both flash memory devices are assembled in 48-pin FBGA packaging in 0.75mm pitch and are available in extended temperature range (-40; +85). Manufactured on Micron's state-of-the-art .22-micron process technology, 16Mb flash devices are currently available for sampling and Micron anticipates production in the second quarter of calendar 2000.
