I have been using S29GL128P flash memory to store the data. While I was going through the datasheet I saw the sector size of 128 Kb and address range is xxx0000-xxxFFFFh. Each memory address can hold 2 bytes of data(i.e.16 bits). So how does it goes I am quite confused. I tried to look at the datasheet and I saw these things and am more confused.

Hello,

I hope you are referring to the below table from S29GL128P datasheet (https://www.cypress.com/file/219926/download).

Each memory location in S29GL128P device has size of 2 bytes (16 bits).

As per the above table, the number of address locations in one sector is 65536 (0000h - FFFFh).

Total number of bytes in one sector = 65536 x 2 = 131072 bytes = 128KBytes.

I hope the above information answers your query. Please let me know, if you have any other related queries.

Thanks and Regards,

Sudheesh
