SHARP’s LH28F008SCT-L85 Flash memory with SmartVoltage technology is a high-density, low-cost, nonvolatile,
read/write storage solution for a wide range of applications. Its symmetrically-blocked architecture, flexible voltage
and extended cycling provide for highly flexible component suitable for resident flash arrays, SIMMs and memory
cards. Its enhanced suspend capabilities provide for an ideal solution for code + data storage applications. For
secure code storage applications, such as networking, where code is either directly executed out of flash or
downloaded to DRAM, the LH28F008SCT-L85 offers three levels of protection: absolute protection with VPP at
GND, selective hardware block locking, or flexible software block locking. These alternatives give designers
ultimate control of their code security needs.
The LH28F008SCT-L85 is manufactured on SHARP’s 0.38µm ETOXTM process technology. It come in
industry-standard package: the 40-lead TSOP, ideal for board constrained applications. Based on the 28F008SA
architecture, the LH28F008SCT-L85 enables quick and easy upgrades for designs demanding the state-of-the-art.

1 INTRODUCTION
This
datasheet
contains
LH28F008SCT-L85
specifications. Section 1 provides a flash memory
overview. Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 describe the
memory organization and functionality. Section 6
covers electrical specifications. LH28F008SCT-L85
Flash memory documentation also includes
application notes and design tools which are
referenced in Section 7.
1.1 New Features
The LH28F008SCT-L85 SmartVoltage Flash memory
maintains backwards-compatibility with SHARP’s
28F008SA. Key enhancements over the 28F008SA
include:
•SmartVoltage Technology
•Enhanced Suspend Capabilities
•In-System Block Locking
Both devices share a compatible pinout, status
register, and software command set. These
similarities enable a clean upgrade from the
28F008SA to LH28F008SCT-L85. When upgrading, it
is important to note the following differences:
•Because of new feature support, the two devices
have different device codes. This allows for
software optimization.
•VPPLK has been lowered from 6.5V to 1.5V to
support 3.3V and 5V block erase, byte write, and
lock-bit configuration operations. The VPP voltage
transitions to GND is recommended for designs
that switch VPP off during read operation.
•To take advantage of SmartVoltage technology,
allow VPP connection to 3.3V or 5V.
1.2 Product Overview
The LH28F008SCT-L85 is a high-performance 8M-bit
SmartVoltage Flash memory organized as 1M-byte of
8 bits. The 1M-byte of data is arranged in sixteen
64K-byte blocks which are individually erasable,
lockable, and unlockable in-system. The memory
map is shown in Figure 3.

SmartVoltage technology provides a choice of VCC
and VPP combinations, as shown in Table 1, to meet
system performance and power expectations. 2.7V
VCC consumes approximately one-fifth the power of
5V VCC. But, 5V VCC provides the highest read
performance. VPP at 3.3V and 5V eliminates the need
for a separate 12V converter, while VPP=12V
maximizes block erase and byte write performance.
In addition to flexible erase and program voltages,
the dedicated VPP pin gives complete data protection
when VPP≤VPPLK.
