Multi-Purpose Flash Devices (MPF™ Devices)
Multi-Purpose Flash Plus Devices
(MPF+ Devices) 39 Series
Multi-Purpose Flash and Multi-Purpose Flash Plus make up
a family of Parallel Flash memory products that deliver high
performance, low-power consumption, superior reliability and
small sector size. Based on Microchip’s SuperFlash technol-
ogy, MPF and MPF+ provide faster program, erase and read
times than conventional Flash, thereby saving power con-
sumption and increasing manufacturing throughput.
In addition to oering 3V and 5V memory products, MPF
devices and MPF+ devices provide 1.8V that deliver signicant
power savings compared to industry standard Flash. Ideal for
space-constrained applications, this family oers the industry’s
smallest standard packages, the XFLGA and WFBGA, both as
small as 4 × 6 mm.
Advanced Multi-Purpose Flash Plus Devices
(Advanced MPF+ Devices) 38 Series
Advanced MPF+ memory devices incorporate advanced
security and protection features, page read access and better
write programming into the standard MPF+ family. Currently
these devices are available on 64 Mb only.
