Working Principles

The S29AL016J55FFA023 utilizes a floating gate transistor technology to store digital information. It consists of an array of memory cells organized in a matrix, where each cell represents a bit of data. The state of each memory cell is determined by the presence or absence of an electrical charge on its floating gate.

During programming, a high voltage is applied to the control gates and the desired data is stored by trapping electrons in the floating gate. Erasing the memory involves removing these trapped charges, which is achieved by applying a higher voltage across the entire memory block.

When reading data, the control gates are activated, and the presence or absence of charge on the floating gate determines the output signal. This allows for fast and reliable retrieval of stored information.
