Working Principles

The AT45DB641E-MHN2B-T is based on the NOR Flash memory technology. It utilizes a combination of floating-gate transistors and control circuitry to store and retrieve digital data. The memory cells are organized into sectors, pages, and bytes, allowing efficient read and write operations.

During programming, data is written to the memory by applying appropriate voltage levels to the control pins. Erasing of data can be performed at the sector level, ensuring selective removal of information. The memory can be accessed using the SPI interface, enabling easy integration with various microcontrollers and systems.
