The 2-Mbit boot block flash memory family provides
full-function, blocked flash memories suitable for a
wide range of applications. These applications
include extended PC BIOS and ROM-able
applications storage, digital cellular phone program
and data storage, telecommunication boot/firmware,
printer firmware/font storage and various other
embedded applications where program and data
storage are required.

sophistication greatens the probability that a code
update will be required after the PC is shipped. For
example, the emerging of 
“plug and play” standard
in desktop and portable PCs enables auto-
configuration of ISA and PCI add-in cards.
However, since the plug and play specification
continues to evolve, a flash BIOS provides a cost-
effective capability to update existing PCs. In

various applications. The asymmetrically-blocked
memory map allows the integration of several

Pinouts
Intel’s SmartVoltage Boot Block architecture
provides upgrade paths in every package pinout to
the 4 or 8-Mbit density. The 28F002B 40-lead
TSOP pinout for space-constrained designs is
shown in
Figure 3. The 28F200 44-lead PSOP
pinout follows the industry-standard ROM/EPROM
pinout, as shown in
Figure 4. For designs that
require x16 operation but have space concerns,
refer to the 48-lead pinout in
Figure 5. Furthermore,
the 28F200 56-lead TSOP pinout shown in Figure 6
provides compatibility with BX/BL family product
packages.
Pinouts for the corresponding 4-Mbit and 8-Mbit
components are also provided for convenient
reference. 2-Mbit pinouts are given on the chip
illustration in the center, with 4-Mbit and 8-Mbit
pinouts going outward from the center.
