Erase sector size

[Paul Nash]

I think that would depend on how the chips are connected.  Assuming they're
16 bits wide, if they're configured as two banks of 16bit wide memory, then
you would erase a 128KB block.  If they're configured in parallel as a
composite 32-bit wide device, then you would erase 256KB blocks.

Subject: Erase sector size


Hi,

I am using prpmc815 Motorola's PMC board, it has two 16MB 28F128 Intel 
flash. According to Intel's data sheet sector size is 128KB. Does anybody 
know - when we erase a sector does it erase 128KB or 256KB? (since prpmc815 
has 2 flash chips).

Thanks,
Rekha
