Intel FLASHBuilder 16 Mbit

Intel FLASHBuilder 16-Mbit

Product Overview

Intel's FLASHBuilder 16 Mbit is a Windows*-based software tool developed to facilitate the understanding of Intel's 16-Mbit Flash memory components. Through an easy-to-use graphical user interface, the design and application engineer is able to speed time-to-market by choosing the optimum 16-Mbit flash memory component for its specific application.

Product Description

FLASHBuilder 16 Mbit supports Intel's 28F016SA/SV FlashFile™ and 28F016XS/XD Fast Flash components. Ease-of-design is facilitated by FLASHBuilder 16 Mbit through its intuitive interface to source code for program and erase algorithms in both C and ASM. These can easily be edited to customize a design.

Also an aid for system design, FLASHBuilder 16 Mbit provides two custom utilities. The Benchmark Utility compares the performance of Intel's 28F016XS and 28F016XD Flash memory components against alternate memory solutions. While the Flash Memory Cycling Utility provides a quantitative profile of flash memory cycling due to periodic system updates, it allows the user to change system parameters and determine how that will affect cycling capability.

FLASHBuilder 16 Mbit 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 and specifications is easy. Through FLASHBuilder 16 Mbit's on-line documentation you have instant access to associated application notes, datasheets and the 16-Mbit Product Family User's Manual all in Hypertext format.
