Working Principles

The M29W160EB7AN6E flash memory utilizes a floating gate transistor technology. It stores digital data by trapping electric charge within the floating gate, which alters the transistor's conductive properties. This trapped charge represents binary information (0 or 1). The data can be read by applying appropriate voltage levels to the address and control inputs, allowing the stored charge to be sensed.

During programming, a higher voltage is applied to the control inputs, causing electrons to tunnel through a thin oxide layer onto the floating gate. This process modifies the transistor's threshold voltage, enabling data storage. Erasing the memory involves removing the trapped charge from the floating gate, typically achieved by exposing the IC to ultraviolet light or applying high voltages.
