Intel's FLASHBuilder Fast Flash is a Windows*-based software tool developed to facilitate the understanding of Intel's FlashFile components. Through an easy-to-use graphical user interface, you are able to speed time-to-market by choosing the optimum flash memory component for your specific application.
FLASHBuilder FlashFile supports Intel's 28F016XS and 28F016XD Fast Flash components. Ease-of-design is facilitated by FLASHBuilder through its intuitive interface to source code for program and erase algothrithms in both C and ASM86. These can easily be edited to customize a design.
Also an aid for system design, FLASHBuilder FlashFile Memories provides several custom utilities. The Benchmark Utility compares the performance of Intel's 28F016XD and 28F016XS Flash memory components against alternate memory solutions. The Product Decoder Utility enables the user to decipher the sometimes cryptic nomenclature of Intel's many flash memory devices. While the Flash Cycling Utility provides a quantitative profile of flash memory cycling due to periodic system updates, it allows you to change system parameters and determine how that will affect cycling capability.
FLASHBuilder features a graphical representation of device functional blocks within the flash memory architecture as well as quick access to information about device operations, commands, algorithms and registers. For example, the command dialog box displays on a single screen the command set and corresponding hexadecimal values, bus-cycle counts for each command, and status register output indicating a successful operation.
Access to technical information is easy. Through FLASHBuilder's on line documentation you have instant access to associated application notes, data sheets and the 16-Mbit Product Family User's Manual all in hypertext format.
This product will be available 1H (first half) '97. |
