GENERAL DESCRI PTION
Am29 DL16x D Feat ur es
Th e Am 29DL16xD family is a 16 megabit, 3 .0 volt-only
flash memory device, organized as 1,048,576 words of
16 bi ts or 2, 097, 152 by tes of 8 bi ts e ac h. Wo rd mo de
data appears on DQ15DQ0; byte mode data ap-
pears on DQ7DQ0. The device is designed to be
programmed in-system with the standard 3.0 volt VCC
supply, and can also be programmed in standard
EP RO M prog ra mm ers .
The device is available with access times of 70 ns or
85 ns. The device is offered in a 69-ball FBGA pack-
age. Standard control pinschip enab le (CE #f), writ e
enable (WE#), and output enable (OE#)cont rol nor-
mal read and write operations, and avoid bus
con ten ti on iss ues.
The device requires only a single 3.0 volt power sup-
ply for both read and write functions. Internally
gene r ate d a nd regu la ted vo lt age s ar e p rov id ed for th e
pro gram and er ase ope r ati ons.
Simultaneous Read/W rite Operations with
Zero Latency
The Simulta neous Rea d/Write archit ecture provides
simultaneous operation by dividing the memory
space into two banks. The device can improve overall
system performance by allowing a host system to pro-
gram or erase in one bank, then immediately and
si multa neo us ly re ad from the oth er b an k, with ze r o la-
tency. This releases the system from waiting for the
completion of program or erase operations.
The Am29DL16xD devices uses multiple bank archi-
tectures to provide flexibility for diffe rent applications.
Four devices are available with the following bank
sizes:
The S ecured Silicon ( SecS i) Sector i s an extra 64
Kb it sector cap able of b eing pe rmanently lock ed by
AMD or cu stomers. The SecSi Secto r Indicator Bit
(DQ7) is perma nently set to a 1 if the part is factory
locked, and set to a 0 if customer lockable. This
way, customer lockable parts can neve r be used to re-
place a factory locked part.
Factory lo cked parts provide several options . The
SecSi Sector may store a secure, random 16 byte
ESN (Electronic Serial Number). Customer Lockable
parts may utilize the SecSi Sector as bonus space,
reading and writing like any other flash sector, or may
permanently lock their own code there.
DMS (D ata Managemen t Software) allows systems
to eas ily tak e adva ntage of the ad van ced ar chitec ture
of the simultaneous read/write product line by allowing
removal of EEPR OM devices. DMS will also allow the
system softwar e to be simplified , as it will perform al l
functions nece ssary to modify data in file structur es,
as opposed to single-byte modifications. To write or
update a particular piece of data ( a phone number or
configuration data, for example), the user only needs
to state which piece of data is to be updated, and
wher e the up date d data is lo cate d in the sys tem . This
is an advantage compared to systems where
user-written s oftwar e must keep track of the old data
location, statu s, logical to ph ysical tr anslati on of the
data on to the Flas h memory device (or mem ory de-
vices), an d m ore. Using DMS, user-written software
does not need to interface with the F las h memory di-
rectly. Instead, the us er's s oftw are ac c ess es the Flash
memor y by c alli ng one of o nl y si x f uncti on s. AM D pro -
vides this software to simplify system design and
software integration efforts.
The device offers complete compatibility with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash command set
standard. Commands are written to the command
register using standard microprocessor write timings.
Reading data out of the device is similar to reading
from other Flash or EPROM devices.
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by using the device sta-
tus bits: RY/BY# pin, DQ7 (Data# Polling) and
DQ6/ DQ2 (toggle bits). After a program or erase cycle
has been completed, the device automatically returns
to reading array data.
The se ctor er ase archit ecture allows memory sec-
tors to be er ased and reprog ram med withou t affecti ng
the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures inclu de a low
VCC detector th at autom atically inhibits write opera-
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of the sectors of mem-
ory. This can be achieved in-system or via
programming equipment.
The device offers two p ower-saving features. When
addr esses hav e been sta ble for a sp ecifie d amou nt of
time, the d evice enters the automatic sleep mode.
The system can also place the device into the
standby mode. Power consumption is greatly re-
duced in both modes.

DEVICE BUS OPERAT I ONS
This section describes the requirements and use of
the device bus operations, which are initiated through
the internal command register. The command register
itself does not occupy any addressable memory loca-
tion. The register is a latch used to store the
commands, along with the address and data informa-
tion nee de d to ex ecu t e the comm an d. T he contents of
the r egister serve as inputs to the in ternal s tate ma-
chine. The state machine outputs dictate the function
of the device. Table 1 lists the device bus operations,
the inputs and control levels they require, and the re-
sulting output. The following subsections describe
each of these operations in further detail.

Word/Byte Configuration
The CIOf pin controls whether the device data I/O pins
operate in the byte or word configura tion. If the CIOf
pin is set at logic 1, the device is in word configura-
tion, DQ0DQ15 are active and controlled by CE# and
OE#.
If the CIOf pin is set at logic 0, the device is in byte
co nfig uratio n, a nd o nly data I/O pin s D Q0DQ7 are
active and controlled by CE# and OE #. The data I/O
pins DQ8DQ14 are tri-stated, and the DQ 15 pin is
used as an input for the LSB (A-1) address function.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outpu ts, the system must
driv e t he CE# f a nd OE# pins to VIL. CE#f i s the po wer
co ntro l an d se le cts t he d ev ice . O E # is th e ou tpu t c on-
trol and gates array data to the output pins. WE#
should remain at VIH. The CIOf pin determines
whether the device outputs array data in words or
bytes.
The internal state machine is set for reading array data
upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This
ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory
conte nt occurs during th e power tr ansition . No com-
mand is necessary in this mode to obtain array data.
Sta ndar d micropr oce ssor re ad cycl es that as sert va lid
addr e sse s o n t he dev ice ad dr ess i npu ts prod uc e va lid
data on the dev ice data outputs. Each bank remains
ena bled for read access until the comman d register
contents are altered.
See Requirements for Reading Array Data for more
information. Refer to the AC Flash Read-Only Opera-
tions table for timing specifications and to Figure 14 for
the timing diagram. ICC1 in the DC Characteristics
table represents the active current specific ation for
readin g array data.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To wr ite a com m and or comm an d se qu enc e (whi c h in-
cludes programming data to the device and erasing
sectors of memory), the system must drive WE# and
CE#f to VIL, and OE# to VIH.
For program operations, the CIOf pin determines
whether the device accepts program data i n bytes or
words. R efer to Wor d/Byte Co nfiguration for more
information.
Th e de vic e fea ture s an Unlock Bypa ss m od e to fa cil-
itate faster programming. Once a bank enters the
Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles are re-
quired to program a word or byte, instead of four. The
Word/Byt e Conf igurati on section has details on pro-
gramming data to the device using both standard and
Unlock Bypass command seque nces.
An erase operation can erase one sector , multiple sec-
tors, or the entire device. Tables 67 indicate the
address space that each sector occupies. The device
addr ess spa ce is divi ded i nto two ba nks: Ban k 1 con -
tains the boo t/p aram ete r sectors , and Ban k 2 conta in s
the larger, code secto rs of uniform size. A bank ad-
dress is the add res s bits requ ire d to un iq uel y select a
bank. Similarly, a sector address is the address bits
required to uniquely select a sector.
ICC2 in the DC Char ac te ristic s ta bl e repr es en ts th e ac -
tive current specification for the write mod e. The AC
Characteristics section contains timing specification
tables and timing diagrams for write operations.
Accelerated Program Operation
The device offers accelerated program operations
throu gh the A CC fun ct ion. T hi s is on e of two f uncti on s
provided by the WP#/ACC pin. This function is prima-
rily intended to allow faster manufacturing throughput
at the factory.
If the system asserts VHH on this pi n, the de vice a uto-
matically en ters the af orementione d Unlock Bypas s
mode, tempor arily unprotects any protected sectors,
and uses the higher voltage on the pin to reduce the
time required for program operations. The system
would us e a two-cycle program command s equence
as requ ired by the Unlock Bypa ss mode. Re moving
VHH from the WP#/ACC pin returns the device to no r-
mal ope ration. Note that the WP#/ACC pin mu st not
be at V HH for operations other than accelerate d p ro-
gramming, or device damage may result. In addition,
the WP#/ACC pin must not be left floating or un con-
nected; inconsistent behavior of the device may result.
Autoselect Functions
If the system writes the autoselect command se-
quence, the device enters the autoselect mo de. The
system c an the n rea d au tos e le ct co des fro m th e i nte r -
nal register (which is separate from the memory array)
on D Q7DQ0. Standard read cycle timings apply in
this m ode . Refe r to th e Au tos elec t Mode and A uto se-
lect Command Sequence sections for more
information.
Simultaneous Read/Write Operations with
Zero Latency
This device is capable of reading data from one bank
of memory while programming or erasing in the other
bank of memory. An erase operation may also be sus-
pende d to read from or program to anoth er location
within the same bank (except the sector being
erased). Figure 21 shows how read and write cycles
may be initiated for simultaneous operation with zero
latency. ICC6 and ICC7 in the DC Characteristics table
represent the current specifications for read-while-pro-
gram a nd read-while-e rase, respectively.
16 Am41DL16x4D
PRELIMINARY
Standby Mode
When the syste m is not r eading or writing to the de-
vice, it c an place the de vice in the standby mode. In
this mode, current consumption is greatly reduced,
and the outputs are placed in the high impedance
state, independent of the OE# input.
Th e d evi ce en ters t he CM O S st and by m od e w hen th e
CE#f and RESET# pins are both held at VCC ± 0. 3 V.
(Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
VIH.) If CE#f and RESET# are held at VIH, but not
within VCC ± 0.3 V, the dev ice wi ll be in th e stan dby
mod e, but the s tandby cu rrent wi ll be gr eater. T he de-
vice requires standard access time (tCE) for read
access when the device is in either of these standby
modes, before it is ready to read data.
If the de vice is dese lected during er asur e or prog ram-
ming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.
ICC3 in the DC Characteristics table represents the
standby current specification.
Automatic Sleep Mode
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device en-
ergy consumption. The device automatically enables
this mode when addresses remain stable for tACC +
30 ns. The automatic sleep mode is independent of
the C E# f, WE#, an d OE# co nt ro l si gn al s . S tan da r d ad-
dress access timings provide new data when
addresses are changed. While in sleep mode, output
data is latched and always available to the system.
ICC4 in the DC Characteristics table represents the
automatic sleep mode current specification.
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin
The RESE T# pin provides a hardware m ethod of re-
setting the device to reading array data. When the
RESET# pin is dr iven low for at least a p eriod of tRP,
the device immediately terminates any operation in
progress, tristates all output pins, and ignores all
read/write commands for the duration of the R ESET#
pulse. The device also r esets th e inte rnal state ma -
chine to read ing array data . The operation that was
interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is
ready to acc ept an other c ommand seq uence, to en-
sure data integrity.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. When RESE T# is h eld at VSS ± 0.3 V, the de-
vice draws CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET# is
held at VIL but not within VSS ± 0.3 V, the standby cur-
rent will be grea ter.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset cir-
cuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash
memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firm-
ware from the Flash memory.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase op-
eration, the RY/BY# pin remains a 0 (busy) until the
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The
system can thus monitor RY/BY# to determine
whethe r the res e t op erat io n i s c om pl ete . I f RE SET# is
asserted when a program or erase operation is not ex-
ecuting (RY/BY# pin is 1), the reset o peration is
completed within a time of tREADY (not during Embed-
ded Algorithm s). The system can rea d data tRH after
the RESET# pin returns to VIH.
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# pa-
rameters and to Figure 15 for the timing diagram.
Output Disable Mode
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high
impedance state.

The hardwar e sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector . The hard-
ware sector unprotection feature re-enables both
pro gram an d er ase ope ratio ns i n prev iousl y prot ect ed
sectors. Sector protection and unprotection can be im-
plemented as follows .
Sector protection/unprotection requires VID on th e RE -
SET# pin only, and can be implemented either
in-system or via programming equipment. Figure 2
shows the algorithms and Figure 26 shows the timing
diagram. This method uses standard microprocessor
bus cyc le timi ng. For sector unprot ect, al l unpro tected
sectors must first be protected prior to the first sector
unprotect write cycle. Note that the sector unprotect
algorithm unprotects all sectors in parallel. Al l previ-
ously protected sectors must be individually
re-protected. To change data in protected sectors effi-
ciently, the temporary sector un protect function is
available. See Temporary Sector/Sector Block
Unprotect.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is pro-
tected or unprotected. See the Autoselect Mode
section for details.
Write Protect (WP#)
The Write Protect function provides a hardware
method of protecting certain boot sectors without
using VID. This function is one of two provided by the
WP#/ACC pin.

SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash
Memory Region
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector feature provides a
Flash mem ory region that enables permanent part
identification through an Electronic Serial Number
(ESN). The S ecSi Sector is 64 Kbytes in length, and
uses a SecSi Sector Indicator Bit to indicate whether
or not the SecSi Sector is locked when shipped fr om
the fac tory. This bit is permanentl y set at the factory
and cannot b e changed, which prevents cloning of a
factory locked part. This ensures the security of the
ESN once the product is shipped to the field. Current
version of this device has 64 Kbytes; future ver-
sions will have only 256 bytes. This should be
considered during system design.
AMD offers the device with the SecSi Sector either
factory locked or customer lockable. The fac-
tory-locked version is always protected when shipped
from the factor y, and ha s the Sec Si Secto r Indicator
Bit perm anently set to a 1. The customer-lockable
version is shipped with the unprotected, allowing cus-
tomers to utilize the that sector in any manner they
choose. The customer-lockable version has the SecSi
Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a 0. Thus, the
Sec Si Sec tor Indicat or Bit pre vent s custom er-loc kable
devices from being used to replace devices that are
factory locked.
The system accesses the SecSi Sector through a
command sequence (see Enter SecSi S ector/Exit
SecSi Sector Command Sequence). Af ter the system
has written the Enter SecSi Sector command se-
quence, it may read the SecSi Sector by using the
addresses normally occupied by the boot sectors. This
mode of operation c ontinues un til the sys tem issues
the Exit SecSi Sector command sequence, or until
powe r is removed from the device. On power-up, or
following a hardware reset, the device reverts to send-
ing commands to the boot sectors.
Factory Locked: SecSi Sector Programmed and
Protected At the Factory
In a factory locked device, the SecSi Sector is pro-
tected when the device is shipped from the factory.
The SecSi Sector cannot be modified in any way. The
device is available preprogrammed with a random, se-
cure ESN only
In de vices that ha ve an ES N, the Top Boot de vice wi ll
have the 16-byte ESN, with the starting address of the
ESN will be at the bottom of the lowe st 8 Kbyte boot
sector a t addre sses F8 000hF8007h in word mode (or
1F0000h1F000Fh in byte mode).
Customer Lockable: SecSi Sector NOT
Programmed or Protected At the Factory
If the s ec uri ty f eat ur e is no t r e qui red , the SecSi Sector
can be trea ted as an add iti ona l F lash me m or y sp a ce ,
ex p an d i ng t h e s iz e of the av ailabl e Flas h arra y by 64
Kby tes. Current version of this device has 64
Kbytes; future vers ions will have on ly 256 bytes.
This shoul d be cons idered durin g system de sign.
The SecSi Sector can be read, programmed, and erased
as often as required. Note that the accelerated program-
ming (ACC) and unlock bypass functions are not
available when programming the SecSi Sector.
The SecSi Sector area can be protected using one of the
fo llowin g p roc ed ur es:
Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region
com ma nd sequ en ce , and then fo llow the in- sy st em
sector protect algorithm as shown in Figure 2, ex-
cept tha t RE S ET# ma y be at e ither VIH or VID. This
allows in-system protection of the without raising
any device pin to a high voltage. Note that this
method is only applicable to the SecSi Sector.
Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region
command sequence, and then use the alternate
method of sector protection described in the The
autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device
identification, and sector protection verification, through
iden tifier codes output on DQ7DQ 0. The autos elect
codes can be accessed in-system through the com-
mand r egister. Refer to th e A utoselect Comm and Se-
quence section for more information.Sector/Sector Block
Protection and Unprotection.
Once the SecSi Sector is locked and verified, the sys-
tem must write the Exit SecSi Sector Region
command sequenc e to return to reading a nd writing
the rema inder of the ar ray.
The SecSi Sector protection must be used with cau-
tion since, once protected, there is no procedure
available for unprotecting the SecSi Sector area and
none of the bi ts in the SecS i Sect or memory space
can be modified in any way.
Hardware Data Protection
The comm an d se qu enc e requi re me nt of un lock cyc les
for program ming or erasi ng provides da ta protection
against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 16 for com-
mand definitions). In addition, the following hardware
data protection measures prevent accidental erasure
or programming, which might otherwise be caused by
spurious system level signals during VCC power-up
and power-down transitions, or from system noise.
Low VCC Write Inhibit
When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not ac-
cept any w rite c ycles. T his pro tects data during VCC
power-up and power-down. The command register
Am41DL16x4D 23
PRELIMINARY
and all internal program/erase circuits are disabled,
and the d evi ce res ets to rea ding array data. Subs e-
quent writes are ignored until VCC is greater than VLKO.
The system must provide the proper signals to the
control pins to prevent unintentional writes when VCC
is greater than VLKO.
Write Pulse Glitch Protection
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on O E#, CE#f
or WE# do not initiat e a write cycle.
Logical Inhibit
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# =
VIL, CE #f = VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle,
CE#f and W E# must be a logical zero while OE# is a
logical one.
Power-Up Write Inhibit
If WE# = CE#f = VIL and OE# = VIH during power up,
the device does not acc ept commands on the rising
edge of WE#. The internal state machine is automati-
cally reset to reading array data on power-up.
COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE
(CFI)
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification out-
lines device and host system software interrogation
handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified
softw are algorithms to be used for ent ire families of
devices. Soft ware support can then be device-inde-
pendent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and
backward-compatible for the specified flash device
families. Flash vendors can standardize their existing
interfaces for long-term compatibility.
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the sys-
tem writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to address
55h in word mode (or address AAh in byte mode), any
time the device is ready to read array data. The sys-
tem can read CFI information at the addresses given
in Tables 1215. To terminate readi ng CFI data, the
system must write the reset command. The CFI Query
mode is not accessible when the device is executing
an Embedded Program or embedded erase algorithm.
The system can also write the CFI query command
when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device
enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read
CFI dat a at the address es give n in Table s 1215. The
s yst e m m us t w r i t e t h e r ese t c o mman d to r e t urn t he d e-
vice to the autoselect mode.

COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or se-
quences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 16 defines the valid register com-
mand sequences. Writing incorrect address and
data values or writing them in the improper se-
quence resets the device to reading array data.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE#
or CE#f, whichever happens later. All data is latched
on the rising edge of WE# or CE#f, whichever hap-
pens first. Refer to the AC Char acteristics section for
timing diagrams.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrie ve data. E ach bank is ready t o read ar ray da ta
after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded
Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,
the corresponding bank enters the erase-sus-
pend-read mode, after which the system can read
data from any non-erase-suspended sector within the
same bank. After completing a programming operation
in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once
again read array data with the same exception. See
the Erase Suspend/Erase Resum e Commands sec-
tion for more information.
The system must issu e the re set co mm an d to r et urn a
bank to the read (or erase-suspend-read) mode if DQ5
goes hig h duri ng an activ e progr am o r era se op era-
tion, or if the bank is in the autoselect mode. See the
next section, Reset Command, for more information.
Se e also Re qui remen ts fo r Rea ding Ar ray Data i n the
Device Bus Operations section for more information.
Th e Flash R ead -Only O peratio ns ta ble pro vides the
read para meters, a nd Figure 14 shows the timing
diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command resets the banks to the
read or era se-suspend -read mo de. Add ress bi ts are
dont cares for this command.
The res et command may be written between the se-
quence cycles in an erase command sequence before
era sin g b egi ns. This r e sets th e b ank t o w hi ch th e s y s-
tem was writing to readin g array data. Onc e erasure
begins, however, the device ignores reset commands
until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the
sequence cycles in a program command sequence
before programming begins. This resets the bank to
which the system was writing to reading array data. If
the program command sequence is written to a bank
that is in the Erase Suspend mo de, writing the reset
command returns that bank to the erase-sus-
pend-read mode. Once programming begins,
howev er, the de vic e i gn ores res et c om man ds u ntil t he
oper ation is compl ete .
The reset comman d may be written between the se-
quence cycles in an autoselect command s equence.
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command
must be written to return to reading array data. If a
bank entered the autoselect mode while in the Erase
Suspend mode, writing the reset command returns
that bank to the erase-suspend-read mode.
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the banks to read-
ing array data (or erase-suspend-read mode if that
bank was in Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and device codes,
and de termine wh ether or not a sector is protected.
Table 16 shows the address an d data r equirements.
The autoselect command sequence may be written to
an address within a bank that is either in the read or
erase-suspend-read mode. The autoselect command
may not be written while the device is actively pro-
gramming or erasing in the other bank.
The au toselec t comma nd sequ ence is ini tiated by fi rst
wri ting tw o un lock cy cles . Th is is follo we d by a t hird
write cycle that contains the bank address and the au-
toselect command. The bank then enters the
autoselect mode. The system may read at any ad-
dress within the same bank any number of times
without initiating another autoselect command
sequence:
A read cycle at address (BA)XX00h (where BA is
the bank address) returns the manufacturer code.
A read cycle at address (BA)XX01h in word mode
(or (BA)XX02h in byte mode) returns the device
code.
A read cycle to an address containing a sector ad-
dress (SA) within the sam e bank, an d the addres s
02h on A7A0 in word mode (or the address 04h on
A6A-1 in byte mode) returns 01h if the sector is
protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. (Refer to Ta-
bles 67 for valid sector addresses).
The system must writ e the r eset co mm an d to retur n to
rea ding array data (or erase-suspend-read mode if the
bank was previously in Erase Suspend).

Command Sequenc e
Th e sys te m c an acc es s t he Sec S i Se ct or r egion b y is-
suing the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector command
sequence. The device continues to access the SecSi
Sector region until the system issues the four-cycle
Exit SecSi Se cto r c om mand se quen ce. The Exit SecSi
Sector command sequence returns the device to nor-
mal o peration. The SecSi Sector is not acces sible
when the device is executing an Embedded Program
or Embe d ded Er ase al go r i th m. Tabl e 16 s h ows t he ad -
dress and data requirements for both command
sequences. See also SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector
Fla sh Memory Region for further information. Note
that a hardware reset (RESET#=VIL) will reset the de-
vice to reading array data.
Byte/Word Program Command Sequence
The system may program the device by word or byte,
depending on the state of the CIOf pin. Programming
is a four-bus-cycle opera tion. The progr am command
sequence is ini tiated by writing tw o unlock write cy-
cles, fol lowed by the program s et-up command . The
program ad dress and data are written next, which in
turn initiate the Embedded Program algorithm. The
system is not req uired to provid e further contro ls or
timings. T he device automatically p rovides internally
generated program pulses and verifies the pro-
grammed cell margin. Table 16 shows the address
and da ta r equ irem en ts for the by tewo rd pr og ram co m-
mand sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
that ban k then retur ns to read ing array data and ad-
dresses are no longer latched. The system can
determine the status of the program operation by
using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. Refer to the Write Oper-
ation Status section for information on these status
bits.
Any command s written to the device during the Em-
bedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the program
oper ation . The p rogram com mand seque nce sh ould
be reinitiated once that bank has returned to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across
sector boundarie s. A bit cannot be programmed
from 0 back to a 1. Attempting to do so may
cause that bank to set DQ5 = 1, or cause the DQ7 and
DQ6 status bits to indicate the operat ion was succe ss-
ful. However, a succeeding read will show that the
data is still 0. Only er ase opera tions can convert a
0 to a 1.
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature a llows the system to pro-
gram bytes or wo rds to a bank faster than using the
standard program command sequence. The unlock
bypass command sequence is initiated by first writing
two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write
cycle containing the unlock bypass command, 20h.
That bank then enters the unlock bypass mode. A
two-cycle unlock bypass program command sequence
is all th at is r eq uire d to progr a m in thi s mod e. Th e fi rst
cycle in this sequence contains the unlock bypass pro-
gram comman d, A 0h; the second cycle contains the
program address and data. Additional data is pro-
grammed in the same manner. This mode dispenses
with the initial two unlock cycles required in the stan-
dard program command sequence, resulting in faster
total programming time. Table 16 shows the require-
ments for the command sequence.
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock By-
pass Program and Unlock B ypass Reset co mmands
are val id. To ex it the unlo ck byp ass mod e, the s ystem
must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass r eset com-
mand sequence. The first cycle must contain the bank
address and the data 90h. The second cycle need
only contain the data 00h. The bank then returns to
the read ing arra y dat a.
The device offers accelerated program operations
through the WP#/ACC pin. When the system asserts
VHH on th e WP #/ AC C pi n, th e d ev ic e au t om at ic al l y en-
ters the Unlock Bypass mode. The system may then
write the two-cycle Unlock Bypass program command
sequence. The device uses the higher voltage on the
WP#/A CC pin to a ccelera te the o peration. Note that
the W P#/ACC pin mus t not be a t VHH any operation
other than accelerated programming, or device dam-
age may result. In addition, the WP#/ACC pin must not
be left floating or unconnected; inconsistent behavior
of the device may result .

ation. Refer to the Flash Erase and Program
Operations table in the AC Characteristics section for
parameters, and Figure 18 for timing diagrams.

Chip Erase Command Sequence
Chip erase is a six bus cycle operation. The chip erase
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock
cycl es, follo wed by a set- up c om ma nd. Tw o ad ditio na l
unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase
com m and , whi ch in tur n inv ok es th e Embedd ed E r ase
algorithm. T he device does not require the system to
preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algo-
rit h m a ut o ma ti ca lly prep r o gra ms an d v e ri f i es th e en t ire
memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical
erase. The system is not required to provide any co n-
trols o r timi ngs during these op erations. Table 16
sho ws the ad dres s an d da ta requ ir em en ts for th e c hip
erase command sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete,
that ban k re tur n s to rea din g a r ray dat a an d a ddre ss es
are no longer latched. The system can determine the
status of the e rase operation by using DQ7, DQ6,
DQ2, or RY/BY#. Refer to the Write Operation Status
section for information on these status bits.
Any commands written dur ing the chip erase operation
are ignored. However, note that a hard wa re re set im-
mediately terminates the erase operation. If that
occurs, the chip erase command sequence should be
reinitiated once that bank has returned to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 4 illustra tes the algorithm f or the erase o pera-
tion. Refer to the Flash Erase and Program
Operations tables in the AC Characte ristics section for
parameters, and Figure 20 section for timing
diagrams.
Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector
erase command seque nce is initiated by writing two
unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. T wo ad-
ditional unlock cycles are written, and are then
followed by the address of the sector to be erased,
and the s ector er ase com mand. Table 16 s hows the
address and data requirement s for the sector erase
command sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram
prior to erase. The Embedded E rase algorithm auto-
matically programs and verifies the entire memory for
an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The
system is not required to provide any controls or tim-
ings during these operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase
time-out of 50 µs occurs. During the time-out period,
additional sector addresses and sector erase com-
mands may be written. Loading the sector erase buf fer
may be done in any sequence, and the number of sec-
tors may be from one s ector to a ll secto rs. The ti me
between thes e additional cycles must be less than
50 µ s, oth er wi se er as ure may be gi n. Any se ct or er ase
address and command following the exceeded
time-out may or may not be accepted. It is recom-
mended that processor interrupts be dis abled during
this time to e nsure all commands are accepte d. The
interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector
Erase command is wr itten. Any command other than
Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during the
time-out p eriod resets that b ank to read ing array
data. The system must rewrite the command se-
quence and any additional addresses and commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determ ine if the sec-
tor erase timer has timed out (See the section on DQ3:
Sector Erase Timer.). The time-out begins from the ris-
ing edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
bank retur ns to re adi ng arr ay data and ad dre sses are
no longer latched. Note that while the Embedded
Erase o perati on is in progre ss, the s ystem c an read
data from the non-erasing bank. The system can de-
termine the s tatus o f the erase operation by reading
DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY# in the erasing bank.

Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
Commands
The Erase S uspend command , B0h, allows th e sys-
tem to interrupt a sector erase operation and then read
data fr om , or pr o gram dat a to , an y s ecto r n ot se lec te d
for erasure. The bank address is required when writing
this command. This command is valid only during the
sector erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out
period during the sector erase command sequence.
The Erase Suspend command is ignored if written dur-
ing the chip erase operation or Embedded Program
algorithm.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during
the sector erase operation, the device requires a max-
imum of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation.
However, when the Eras e Suspend command is writ-
ten during the sector erase time-out, the device
imme diately termina tes the ti me-out period and sus-
pends the erase operation.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the
bank enters the erase-suspend-read mode. The sys-
tem c an read data fr om o r pr o gram data to an y s ector
not selected for erasure. (The device erase sus-
pends all sectors selected for erasure.) Read ing at
any address within erase-suspended sectors pro-
duc es stat us infor mati on on DQ7DQ0. The system
can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine
if a s ector is actively eras ing or is erase-suspe nded.
Refer to the Write Operation Status section for infor-
mation on these status bits.
After an erase-suspended program operation is com-
plete, the bank returns to the erase-suspend-read
mode. The system c an determine the status of the
program operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits,
just as in the standard Byte Program operation.

issue the autoselect command sequence. Refer to the
Autoselect Mode and Autoselect Command Sequence

To resume the sector erase operation, the system
must write the Erase Resume command. The bank
address of the erase-suspended bank is required
when writing this command. Further writes of the Re-
sume command are ignored. Another Erase Suspend
command can b e written afte r the chip has resu med

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
Th e devic e provide s sever al bits to det ermine the sta-
tus of a p r ogra m o r eras e op erati on : D Q2 , D Q 3, D Q 5,
DQ6, and DQ7. Table 20 and the following subsec-
tions describe the function of these bits. DQ7 and DQ6
each offer a method for determining whether a pro-
gram or erase operation is complete or in progress.
The device also provides a hardware-based output
signal, RY/BY#, to determine whether an Embedded
Program or Erase operation is in progress or has been
completed.
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host sys-
tem whether an Embedded Program or Erase
algorithm is in progress or completed, or whether a
bank is in Erase Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after
the r ising ed ge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device
outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum pro-
grammed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also appl ies to
pro gramming during Eras e Suspen d. Whe n the E m-
bedded Program algorithm is complete, the device
outputs the da tum pr ogrammed to DQ7. The s ystem
mus t prov i de the pro gr am add res s to read v al id sta tus
information on DQ7. If a program address falls within a
pr otected sec tor, D ata # Po lling on DQ7 is activ e for
approximately 1 µs, then that bank returns to reading
arra y dat a.
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling
produ ces a 0 o n DQ7. When the Embedde d Erase
algorithm is complete, or if the bank enters the Erase
Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a 1 on DQ7.
Th e syst e m mu st pr ovid e an a ddr e ss wi thin an y of the
sectors selected for erasure to read valid status infor-
mation on DQ7.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all
sect o rs sel ec te d for er a sing ar e prot ec ted , Dat a# P ol l-
ing on D Q7 is ac tive fo r ap proxima tely 100 µs, the n
the bank returns to reading array data. If not all se-
lected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase
algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores
the selected sectors that are protected. However, if the
system reads DQ7 at a n address within a protected
sector, the status may not be valid.
Jus t prior to th e comp leti on of an Em bedd ed Progr am
or E ras e op erat io n, DQ 7 m ay ch an ge as y nch ro no us ly
with DQ0DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is asserted
low. That is, the device may change from providing
status information to valid data on DQ7. Depending on
when the system samples the DQ7 output, it may read
the statu s or valid data. Even if the device has c om-
pleted the program or erase o peration and DQ7 has
va lid data , the da ta out puts on DQ 0D Q6 may be sti ll
in vali d. Vali d dat a o n DQ0 DQ7 will ap pear on suc-
cessive read cycles.

RY/ BY#: Ready/Busy #
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin
which indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in
progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after
the r ising ed ge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequ en c e. Sin c e R Y / BY# is an op en -d r ai n out pu t , sev -
eral RY/BY# pins can be tied together in parallel with a
pull-up resistor to VCC.
If th e outp ut is low (B usy ), the de vi ce is a ctiv ely era s-
ing or programming. (This includes programming in
the Erase Suspend mode.) If the output is high
(Re ady), the device is re ading array data, the stan dby
mode, or one of the banks is in the erase-sus-
pend-read mode.
Table 20 shows the outputs for RY/B Y#.
DQ6: Toggle Bit I
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded
Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or com-
plete, or whether the device has entered the Erase
Suspend mode. Toggle Bi t I ma y be read at any ad-
dress, and is valid after the rising edge of the final
WE# pulse in the command sequence (prior to the
program or erase operation), and during the sector
erase time-out.
Dur i ng a n Em be dd ed P r og ram or E ras e a lg or ithm op-
eration, successive read cycles to any address cause
DQ6 to toggle. The system may use either OE# or
CE#f to control the read cycles. When the operation is
complete, DQ6 stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all
sectors selected for erasing are protected, DQ 6 tog-
gle s for app roxi mate ly 100 µs , then re turns to read ing
array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the
Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected
sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are
protected.
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to deter-
mine whether a sector is actively erasing or is
era se- s uspen de d. W he n th e de v ice i s a ctiv el y er asin g
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
DQ6 toggles. When the device enters the Erase Sus-
pend mo de, D Q6 s top s to ggli ng. Howe ve r, th e syste m
must also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are
erasing or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the system
can use DQ7 (see the subsection on DQ7: Data#
Polling).
If a program address falls within a protected sector,
DQ 6 togg les for appro xim atel y 1 µs after th e pro gram
com m and s equ en ce is w ritte n, the n r et urns to read in g
arra y dat a.
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Pro-
gram algorithm is complete.
Table 20 show s the o utputs for Toggle Bi t I on D Q6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 23 in
the AC Characteristics section shows the toggle bit
timing diagrams. Figure 24 shows the differences be-
tween DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See als o the

DQ2: Toggle Bit II
The Toggle Bi t II on DQ2, w hen us ed wit h DQ6, ind i-
cates wheth er a particu lar sector is actively erasing
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
or whether that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit
II is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in
the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses
within those sectors that have been selected for era-
sure. (The system may use either OE# or CE#f to
control the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish
whether the sector is actively erasing or is erase-sus-
pended. DQ6, by c omparison , indicates whethe r the
dev ice is activ ely eras ing , or is in E rase S usp end, b ut
cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for era-
sure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and
mode information. Refer to Table 20 to compare out-
puts for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart
for m, and the secti on DQ2: To ggle Bi t II expl ai ns th e
algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection.
Fig ure 23 show s the togg le bi t timi ng di agram . Fi gure
24 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in
graphical form.
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2
Refer to Figure 6 for the following discussion. When-
ever the system initially begins reading toggle bit
status , it must read DQ7DQ0 at least twice in a row
to determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically,
the system would note and store the value of the tog-
gle bit after the firs t read. After the second read, the
syst em wo uld com pa re th e n ew valu e o f th e t ogg le bit
with the fir st. If the toggle bit is not toggling, the device
has completed the program or erase operation. The
system can read array data on DQ7DQ0 on the fol-
lowing read cycle.
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the sys-
tem also should note whether the value of DQ5 is high
(see th e section on DQ5). If it is, the system should
then determine again whether the toggle bit is tog-
gling, since the toggle bit may have stopped toggling
just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer
toggling, the device has successfully completed the
program or erase operation. If it is still toggling, the de-
vi ce di d no t c omp leted the oper ati on succ e ssfu lly, an d
the system must write the reset command to return to
readin g array data.
The remaining scenario is that the system initially de-
termines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ 5 has
not gone high . The sy stem m ay co ntinu e to moni tor
the to ggle bit and DQ5 through successive read cy-
cles, determining the status as described in the
previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to
perform other system tasks. In this case, the system
must s tart at the be gi nni ng of the algor ithm when it re -
turns to determine the status of the operation (top of
Figure 6).
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time
has exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit.
Under these conditions DQ5 produces a 1, indicating
that the program or erase cycle was not successfully
completed.
The device may output a 1 on DQ5 if the system tries
to prog ram a 1 to a location that was previously pro-
grammed to 0. Only an erase operation can
change a 0 back to a 1. Under this condition, the
device halts the ope ration, and when the timing limit
has been exceeded, DQ5 produces a 1.
Under both thes e conditio ns, the syste m must write
the reset command to return to reading array data (or
to the erase-suspend-read mode if a bank was previ-
ousl y in the erase -su sp end - prog ra m mo de).
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command seq uence, the
system may read DQ 3 to determine whether or not
erasure has begun. ( The s ector erase timer does not
apply to the chip erase command.) If additional
sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-out
also applies after each additional sector erase com-
mand. When the time-out period is complete, DQ3
switches from a 0 to a 1. If the time between addi-
tional sector erase comman ds from the system can be
assumed to be less than 50 µs, the system need not
monitor DQ3. See also t he Se ctor Erase Co mmand
Sequence section.
After the sector erase command is written, the system
shou ld r e ad th e s tat us o f DQ7 (D a ta# Po ll ing) or DQ6
(Toggle Bit I) to ensure that the device has accepted
the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is
1, the E mbe dd ed E ras e al gori thm ha s b eg un; al l fur -
ther commands (except Erase Suspend) are ignored
until the erase operation is complete. If DQ3 is 0, the
device will accept additional sector erase commands.
To ensure the command has been accepted, the sys-
tem software should check the status of DQ3 prior to
and following e ach subseq uent sector erase com-
mand. If DQ3 is high on the second status check, the
last command might not have been accepted.
