271305 – 3

(Including RYBY Masking and Selective Powerdown) for DRAM Backup during System SUSPEND

Resident OS and Applications and Motherboard Solid-State Disk

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The VE28F008 includes on-chip write automation to

manage write and erase functions The Write State

Machine allows for 100% TTL-level control inputs

fixed power supplies during block erasure and byte

write and minimal processor overhead with RAM-

like interface timings

After initial device powerup or after return from

deep powerdown mode (see Bus Operations) the

VE28F008 functions as a read-only memory Manip-

ulation of external memory-control pins allow array

read standby and output disable operations Both
