Hi

   

I try to erase quickly a memory NOR FLASH

   

for example a S25FL127S : 128Mbit = 32 seconds to clear all (with 50mA erase current !)

   

is it possible to start several block erase simultaneously ?

   

Are there faster memories in erase ?

   

 

   

thank you in advance

Hi,

   

Q. Is it possible to start several block erase simultaneously ?

   

A. No . The erase will happen block by block. If you need to erase the entire chip you can go for Chip erase.

   

Q. Are there faster memories in erase ?

   

A. Are you to looking to erase the entire chip or block? If you are looking for erasing a block, the speed of the erase depends on the block size. Can you please let su know the size of the block you are trying to erase.

   

In S25FL127S there are two options for Block erase. One is 256KB and the other is 64KB. We can suggest faster parts if the size is mentioned.

   

Thanks,

   

Krishna.
