Which flash parts are compatible with the 3150 Neuron Chip and/or 3150 Smart Transceivers?
The following Flash parts are compatible with the 3150 Neuron and/or Smart Transceiver chips:
| Greenliant (formerly SST) |
GLS29EE512 (PLCC32) |
| Atmel (June 2010, Atmel announced end of life plan for these parts) |
AT29C256 AT29C257 AT29C512 AT29C010A |
The GLS29EE512 and GLS29EE010 parts are expected to work with the Echelon TP/XF-78F and TP/FT-10F Flash control modules.
As replacements for Atmel flash parts, following parts from Greenliant can be used:
| Atmel Parallel Flash part number (PLCC32 package) |
Greenliant Parallel Flash part number (PLCC32 package) |
| AT29C512-70JU, AT29C512-90JU | GLS29EE512-70-4I-NH, GLS29EE512-70-4I-NHE (Pb free) |
| AT29C010A-90JI | GLS29EE010-70-4I-NHE |

When designing a device using Flash external memory, you need to make sure it is fast enough to meet with the timing requirements imposed by the Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver and the clock input desired.
20MHz, Flash-based designs for example are NOT possible due to this reason.
Also, temperature grade (industrial) and sector size (128/64 bytes) needs to be checked as well when selecting a Flash memory vendor.
Please refer to Neuron 3150 Chip External Memory Interface engineering bulletin for more details.
