Hardware Notices MX29LV’s Package and Pin Definition are compatible with S29AL devices, except the MX29LV160D device has WP#/ACC pin, while the S29AL016D has NC pin. The MX29LV160D’s WP#/ACC pin has internal high impendence, if customers use it as NC pin, MX29LV160D can accept it and the WP#/ACC can be used as don’t care pin. High Voltage Vhv (Vhh) The MX29LV160D/320D series offer Vhv (Vhh in S29AL) ranging from 9.5V to 10.5V; while S29AL offers Vhh from 11.5 to 12.5V Software Notices The MX29LV160D/320D products do not provide Unlock Bypass program mode, and the MX29LV004C/008C support the CFI (Common Flash Interface) feature. Other than that, the software commands are compatible with S29AL004D/008D/016D/032D products. Table 5.

Summary Macronix MX29LV hardware-wise is footprint compatible with Spansion S29AL devices even the hardware pin has slight differences; as well as the differences in Vhv range. On software perspective, please note the Unlock Bypass feature, Manufacture ID and Device ID differences. In conclusion, Spansion S29AL devices could be converted to Macronix MX29LV devices with minor adjustment effort.
