56-Lead SSOP
µBGA* CSP
Intel’s Fast Boot Block memory family renders high performance asynchronous page-mode and synchronous
burst reads making it an ideal memory solution for burst CPUs. Combining high read performance with the
intrinsic non-volatility of flash memory, this flash memory family eliminates the traditional redundant memory
paradigm of shadowing code from a slow nonvolatile storage source to a faster execution memory for
improved system performance. Therefore, it reduces the total memory requirement which helps increase
reliability and reduce overall system power consumption and cost.
This family of products is manufactured on Intel’s 0.4 µm ETOX™ V process technology. They are available
in industry-standard packages: the µBGA* CSP, ideal for board-constrained applications, and the rugged
56-lead SSOP.
