Plug and Play technologies are powerful market drivers for PC systems. BIOS stored in flash memory couples Plug and Play performance with the flexibility of easy in-system BIOS code updates. In addition, new PC design initiatives such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Desktop Management Interface (DMI) are placing new demands on BIOS code size. Intel offers PC designers a choice of 1 Mbit, 2 Mbit, and 4 Mbit Boot Block Flash Memory components. The 28F002BC is a good product for the BIOS market and is the lowest-cost 2 Mbit flash product Intel offers. To make design upgrades even easier, it is drop-in compatible with earlier 2 Mbit Intel Boot Block Flash components. BIOS related features include:
If your designs require higher performance flash, choose the Intel Smart 5 or SmartVoltage high-integration Boot Block devices. Intel and its third-party vendors offer a full range of development tools and software that make Intel Flash Memory products easy to use. The Intel Solutions Flash Memory Catalog provides a convenient reference for development tools that can help minimize your time-to-market and development costs.
