Wily - Re: "I'm computer-circuitry-challenged: If the write pulse time is 40ns, what is the write latency and how does this compare to DRAM? Am I asking the right question?"

That's a pertinent question.

The 40 nS write pulse is rather long compared to fast synchronous DRAMs or DDR - but it is quite a bit faster than Flash write timing (a rather slow process that can take milliseconds).

Latency generally refers to the delays associated with reading the first - or the first in a stream - memory location including address generation, address loading, (RAS/CAS assertion, etc.) - that is - how long does it take to get the data once the data is requested.
