S71WS512N Datasheet, PDF (3/18 Pages) SPANSION – Migrating from the S71WS512N to the S71WS512P
Application Note
VCC and VCCQ Ramp
On the WS512P, VCC and VCCQ (VIO) must ramp up simultaneously. This restriction is not required on the
S71WS512N. Regarding VCC ramp rates, the WS512P places no restriction on VCC; (Some earlier revisions
of the WS256N required the ramp rate to be greater than 1 V/100 µs, or a RESET pulse would have to be
issued.
Table 3.1 shows parameters that have been changed in the S29WS512P.

4. Basic Architectural Changes
4.1 Sector Architecture
Both the S29WS256N and the S29WS512P feature sectors of the same size, that is, 128 KB sectors and the
smaller 32 KB (boot) sectors. However, the S71WS512N contains a total of 16 small flash sectors, while the
S71WS512P contains only 8 small flash sectors. Figure 4.1 illustrates this.
