The M58BW32F 32Mbit Flash memory chip is intended specifically for the automotive market. Meeting the needs of powertrain and transmission-control modules, and other automotive systems that use the latest generation of 32-bit microcontrollers, the M58BW32F is Automotive-Grade certified, and qualified to the AEC-Q100 standard (revision F). The memory IC offers access times as low as 45ns over the full automotive temperature range from -40 to +125°C for the packaged device (-40 to +150°C in bare die form). Maximum burst frequency is 75MHz across the full temperature range. Enhanced protection techniques include flexible hardware/software protection, a secured command set for Modify operations, a Bank Erase command and a one-shot program from an internal buffer (loaded up to an 8x double word maximum). For security, each die embeds a unique device ID to allow the use of cryptographic algorithms to protect against illegal software modifications. The automotive Flash memory is offered in an LBGA80 package.
