3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The F49L160UA/F49L160BA is a 16 Megabit, 3V only

CMOS Flash memory device organized as 2M bytes of 8

bits or 1M words of 16bits. This device is packaged in

standard 48-pin TSOP. It is designed to be programmed

and erased both in system and can in standard EPROM

programmers.

With access times of 70 ns and 90 ns, the

F49L160UA/F49L160BA allows the operation of

high-speed microprocessors. The device has separate

chip enable CE , write enable WE , and output enable

OE controls. EFST's memory devices reliably store

memory data even after 100,000 program and erase

cycles.

The F49L160UA/F49L160BA is entirely pin and

command set compatible with the JEDEC standard for 16

Megabit Flash memory devices. Commands are written to

the command register using standard microprocessor

write timings.

The F49L160UA/F49L160BA features a sector erase

architecture. The device array is divided into one 16KB,

two 8KB, one 32KB, and thirty-one 64KB for byte mode.

The device memory array is divided into one 8K word, two

4K word, one 16K word, and thirty-one 32K word sectors

for word mode. Sectors can be erased individually or in

groups without affecting the data in other sectors.

Multiple-sector erase and whole chip erase capabilities

provide the flexibility to revise the data in the device.

The sector protect/unprotect feature disables both

program and erase operations in any combination of the

sectors of the memory. This can be achieved in-system or

via programming equipment.

A low VCC detector inhibits write operations on loss of

power. End of program or erase is detected by the

Ready/Busy status pin, Data Polling of DQ7, or by the

Toggle Bit I feature on DQ6. Once the program or erase

cycle has been successfully completed, the device

internally resets to the Read mode.

ESMT F49L160UA/F49L160BA

Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc. Publication Date : Dec. 2006

Revision: 1.3 8/51

Reset Mode :

Hardware Reset

When the ESETR pin is driven low for at least a

period of tRP, the device immediately terminates any

operation in progress, tri-states all output pins, and

ignores all read/write commands for the duration of the

ESETR pulse. The device also resets the internal state

machine to reading array data. The operation that was

interrupted should be reinitiated later once the device is

ready to accept another command sequence, to ensure

the data integrity.

The current is reduced for the duration of the ESETR

pulse. When ESETR is held at VSS±0.3V, the device

draws CMOS standby current (ICC4). If ESETR is held

at VIL but not within VSS±0.3V, the standby current will

be greater.

The ESETR pin may be tied to system reset circuitry.

A system reset would thus reset the Flash memory,

enabling the system to read the boot-up firm-ware from

the Flash memory.

If ESETR is asserted during a program or erase

embedded algorithm operation, the RY/B

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/ B

to determine whether the reset operation is

complete.

If ESETR is asserted when a program or erase

operation is not executing , i.e. the RY/B

is “1”, the

reset operation is completed within a time of tREADY (not

during Embedded Algorithms). The system can read

data after tRH when the ESETR pin returns to VIH.

Refer to the AC Characteristics tables 17 for Hardware

Reset section & Figure 23 for the timing diagram.

Read Mode

To read array data from the outputs, the system must

drive the CE and OE pins to VIL. CE is the power

control and selects the device. OE is the output

control and gates array data to the output pins. WE

should remain at VIH. 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 content occurs during the

power transition.

No command is necessary in this mode to obtain array

data. Standard microprocessor’s read cycles that assert

valid addresses on the device address inputs produce

valid data on the device data outputs. The device remains

enabled for read access until the command register

contents are altered.

See “Read Command” section for more information.

Refer to the AC Read Operations table 14 for timing

specifications and to Figure 5 for the timing diagram. ICC1

in the DC Characteristics table represents the active

current specification for reading array data.

Write Mode

To write a command or command sequence (which

includes programming data to the device and erasing

sectors of memory), the system must drive WE and CE

to VIL, and OE to VIH. The “Program Command” section

has details on programming data to the device using

standard command sequences.

An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple

sectors, or the entire device. Tables 1 and 2 indicate the

address space that each sector occupies. A “sector

address” consists of the address bits required to uniquely

select a sector. The “Software Command Definitions”

section has details on erasing a sector or the entire chip,

or suspending/resuming the erase operation.

When the system writes the auto-select command

sequence, the device enters the auto-select mode. The

system can then read auto-select codes from the internal

DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this

mode. Refer to the Auto-select Mode and Auto-select

Command sections for more information. ICC2 in the DC

Characteristics table represents the active current

specification for the write mode. The “AC Characteristics”

section contains timing specification tables and timing

diagrams for write operations.

Automatic Sleep Mode

The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device

energy consumption. The device automatically enables

this mode when addresses remain unchanged for over

250ns. The automatic sleep mode is independent of the

CE , WE , and OE control signals. Standard address

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.

Word / Byte Mode

This pin control the I/O configuration of device. When

BYTE = VIH or Vcc ± 0.3V. The I/O configuration is x16

and the pin of D15/A-1 is bi-direction Data I/O. However,

BYTE = VIL or VSS ± 0.3V. The I/O configuration would

be x8 and The pin of DQ15/A-1 only address input pin.

You must define the function of this pin before enable this

device.

Temporary Sector Unprotect Mode

This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously

protected sector to change data in-system. This mode is

activated by setting the ESETR pin to VID(10V-10.5V).

During this mode, all formerly protected sectors are

un-protected and can be programmed or erased by

selecting the sector addresses. Once VID is removed from

the ESETR pin, all the previously protected sectors are

protected again.

Notes:

1. All protected sectors unprotected.

2. All previously protected sectors are protected once again.

Output Disable Mode

With the OE is at a logic high level (VIH), outputs from

the devices are disabled. This will cause the output pins

in a high impedance state

Standby Mode

When CE and ESETR are both held at VCC ± 0.3V,

the device enter CMOS Standby mode. If CE and

ESETR are held at VIH, but not within the range of

VCC ± 0.3V, the device will still be in the standby mode,

but the standby current will be larger.

If the device is deselected during auto algorithm of

erasure or programming, the device draws active

current ICC2 until the operation is completed. ICC3 in

the DC Characteristics table represents the standby

current specification.

The device requires standard access time (tCE) for

read access from either of these standby modes,

before it is ready to read data.

Sector Protect / Un-protect Mode

The hardware sector protect feature disables both

program and erase operations in any sector. The

hardware sector unprotect feature re-enables both the

program and erase operations in previously protected

sectors. Sector protect/unprotect can be implemented

via two methods.

The primary method requires VID on the ESETR pin

only, and can be implemented either in-system or via

programming equipment.

Figure 16 shows the algorithms and Figure 15 shows

the timing diagram. This method uses standard

microprocessor bus cycle timing. For sector unprotect,

all unprotected sectors must first be protected prior to

the first sector unprotect write cycle.

The alternate method intended only for programming

equipment requires VID on address pin A9, OE , and

ESETR .

Auto-select Mode

The auto-select mode provides manufacturer and

device identification and sector protection verification,

through outputs on DQ7–DQ0. This mode is primarily

intended for programming equipment to automatically

match a device to be programmed with its

corresponding programming algorithm. However, the

auto-select codes can also be accessed in-system

through the command register.

When using programming equipment, this mode

requires VID (10 V to 10.5 V) on address pin A9. While

address pins A3, A2, A1, and A0 must be as shown in

Table 4.

To verify sector protection, all necessary pins have to

be set as required in Table 4, the programming

equipment may then read the corresponding identifier

code on DQ7-DQ0.

To access the auto-select codes in-system, the host

system can issue the auto-select command via the

command register, as shown in Table 5. This method

does not require VID. See “ Software Command

Definitions” for details on using the auto-select mode.

7.2 Software Command Definitions

Writing specific address and data commands or

sequences into the command register initiates the

device operations. Table 5 defines the valid register

command sequences. Writing incorrect address and

data values or writing them in the improper sequence

resets the device to reading array data.

All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE

or CE, whichever happens later. All data is latched on

the rising edge of WE or CE , whichever happens

first. Refer to the corresponding timing diagrams in

the AC Characteristics section.

Revision: 1.3 13/51

Reset Command

Writing the reset command to the device resets the

device to reading array data. Address bits are all don’t

cares for this command.

The reset command may be written between the

sequence cycles in an erase command sequence

before erasing begins. This resets the device to reading

array data. Once 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 device to

reading array data (also applies to programming in

Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins,

however, the device ignores reset commands until the

operation is complete.

The reset command may be written between the

sequence cycles in an auto-select command sequence.

Once in the auto-select mode, the reset command must

be written to return to reading array data (also applies

to auto-select during Erase Suspend).

If DQ5 goes high(see “DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits”

section) during a program or erase operation, writing

the reset command returns the device to reading array

data (also applies during Erase Suspend).

Read Command

The device is automatically set to reading array data

after device power-up. No commands are required to

retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array

data after completing an Embedded Program or

Embedded Erase algorithm.

When the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,

the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The

system can read array data using the standard read

timings, except that if it reads an address within

erase-suspended sectors, the device outputs status

data. After completing a programming operation in the

Erase Suspend mode, the system may once again read

array data with the same exception. See “Erase

Suspend/Erase Resume Commands” for more

information on this mode.

The system must issue the reset command to

re-enable the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes

high, or while in the auto-select mode. See the “Reset

Command” section. See also the “Read Mode” in the

“Device Operations” section for more information. Refer

to Figure 5 for the timing diagram.

Program Command

The program command sequence programs one byte

into the device. Programming is a four-bus-cycle

operation. The program command sequence is initiated

by writing two unlock write cycles, followed by the

program set-up command. The program address and

data are written next, which in turn initiate the

Embedded Program algorithm. The system is not

required to provide further controls or timings. The

device automatically provides internally generated

program pulses and verifies the programmed cell

margin.

When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,

the device then returns to reading array data and

addresses are no longer latched. The system can

determine the status of the program operation by using

DQ7, DQ6, or RY/B

. See “Write Operation Status”

section for more information on these status bits.

Any commands written to the device during the

Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a

hardware reset immediately terminates the

programming operation. The Program command

sequence should be reinitiated once the device has

reset to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.

Programming is allowed in any sequence and across

sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed from a

“0” back to a “1”. Attempting to do so may halt the

operation and set DQ5 to “1”, or cause the Data Polling

algorithm to indicate the operation was successful.

However, a succeeding read will show that the data is

still “0”. Only erase operations can convert a “0” to a

“1”.

Chip Erase Command

Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation. The chip erase

command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock

cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional

unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase

command, which in turn invokes the Embedded Erase

algorithm.

The device does not require the system to preprogram

prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm

automatically preprograms and verifies the entire

memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical

erase.

Any commands written to the chip during the

Embedded Erase algorithm are ignored. Note that a

hardware reset during the chip erase operation

immediately terminates the operation. The Chip Erase

command sequence should be reinitiated once the

device has returned to reading array data, to ensure

the data integrity.

ESMT F49L160UA/F49L160BA

Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc. Publication Date : Dec. 2006

Revision: 1.3 14/51

The system can determine the status of the erase

operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/B

. See

“Write Operation Status” section for more information

on these status bits.

When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the

device returns to reading array data and addresses are

no longer latched. See the Erase/Program Operations

tables in “AC Characteristics” for parameters.

Sector Erase Command

Sector erase is a six-bus cycle operation. The sector

erase command sequence is initiated by writing two

unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two

additional unlock write cycles are then followed by the

address of the sector to be erased, and the sector

erase command.

The device does not require the system to preprogram

the memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase

algorithm

automatically programs and verifies the sector for an all

zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The system is

not required to provide any controls or timings during

these operations.

After the command sequence is written, a sector erase

time-out of 50 µs begins. During the time-out period,

additional sector addresses and sector erase

commands may be written. Loading the sector erase

buffer may be done in any sequence, and the number

of sectors may be from one sector to all sectors. The

time between these additional cycles must be less than

50 μs, otherwise the last address and command might

not be accepted, and erasure may begin.

It is recommended that processor interrupts be disabled

during this time to ensure all commands are accepted.

The interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector

Erase command is written. If the time between

additional sector erase commands can be assumed to

be less than 50 µs, the system need not monitor DQ3.

Any command other than Sector Erase or Erase

Suspend during the time-out period resets the device to

reading array data. The system must rewrite the

command sequence and any additional sector

addresses and commands.

The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector

erase timer has timed out. (See the “DQ3: Sector Erase

Timer” section.) The time-out begins from the rising

edge of the final WE pulse in the command

sequence.

Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the

Erase Suspend command is valid. All other commands

are ignored. Note that a hardware reset during the

sector erase operation immediately terminates the

operation. The Sector Erase command sequence

should be reinitiated once the device has returned to

reading array data, to ensure the data integrity.

When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the

device returns to reading array data and addresses are

no longer latched. The system can determine the

status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6,

DQ2, or RY/B

. (Refer to “Write Operation Status”

section for more information on these status bits.)

Refer to the Erase/Program Operations tables in the

“AC Characteristics” section for parameters.

Sector Erase Suspend/Resume Command

The Erase Suspend command allows the system to

interrupt a sector erase operation and then read data

from, or program data to, any sector not selected for

erasure (The device “erase suspends” all sectors

selected for erasure.). 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 during the chip erase operation or Embedded

Program algorithm. Addresses are “don’t-cares” when

writing the Erase Suspend command as shown in

Table 5.

When the Erase Suspend command is written during a

sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum

of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation. However,

when the Erase Suspend command is written during

the sector erase time-out, the device immediately

terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase

operation.

Reading at any address within erase-suspended

sectors produces status data on DQ7–DQ0. The

system can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to

determine if a sector is actively erasing or is

erase-suspended. See “Write Operation Status”

section for more information on these status bits.

After an erase-suspended program operation is

complete, the system can once again read array data

within non-suspended sectors. The system can

determine the status of the program operation using

the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard

program operation. See “Write Operation Status” for

more information.

The system may also write the auto-select command

sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend

mode. The device allows reading auto-select codes

even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the

codes are not stored in the memory array. When the

device exits the auto-select mode, the device reverts to

the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another

valid operation.

ESMT F49L160UA/F49L160BA

Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc. Publication Date : Dec. 2006

Revision: 1.3 15/51

The system must write the Erase Resume command

(address bits are “don’t care” as shown in Table 5) to

exit the erase suspend mode and continue the sector

erase operation. Further writes of the Resume

command are ignored. Another Erase Suspend

command can be written after the device has resumed

erasing.

Auto-select Command

The auto-select command sequence allows the host

system to access the manufacturer and devices codes,

and determine whether or not a sector is protected.

Table 6 shows the address and data requirements. This

method is an alternative to that shown in Table 4, which

is intended for PROM programmers and requires VID

on address bit A9.

The auto-select command sequence is initiated by

writing two unlock cycles, followed by the auto-select

command. The device then enters the auto-select

mode, and the system may read at any address any

number of times, without initiating another command

sequence. The read cycles at address 04H, 08H, 0CH,

and 00H retrieves the EFST manufacturer ID. A read

cycle at address 01H retrieves the device ID. A read

cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the

address 02H returns 01H if that sector is protected, or

00H if it is unprotected. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for

valid sector addresses.

The system must write the reset command to exit the

auto-select mode and return to reading array data.

7.3 Write Operation Status

The device provides several bits to determine the

status of a write operation: RY/ B

, DQ7, DQ6,

DQ5, DQ3, DQ2, and. Table 7 and the following

subsections describe the functions of these bits.

RY/ B

, DQ7, and DQ6 each offer a method for

determining whether a program or erase operation

is complete or in progress.

ESMT F49L160UA/F49L160BA

Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc. Publication Date : Dec. 2006

Revision: 1.3 16/51

RY/ BY :

Ready/Busy

The RY/B

is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that

indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in

progress or complete. The RY/B

status is valid after

the rising edge of the final WE pulse in the command

sequence. Since RY/ B

is an open-drain output,

several RY/B

pins can be tied together in parallel

with a pull-up resistor to VCC.

If the output is low (Busy), the device is actively erasing

or programming. (This includes programming in the

Erase Suspend mode.) If the output is high (Ready),

the device is ready to read array data (including during

the Erase Suspend mode), or is in the standby mode.

Table 7 shows the outputs for RY/B

DQ7: Data Polling

The DQ7 indicates to the host system whether an

Embedded Algorithm is in progress or completed, or

whether the device is in Erase Suspend mode. The

Data Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final

WE pulse in the program or erase command

sequence.

During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device

outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum

programmed

to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to programming

during Erase Suspend. When the Embedded Program

algorithm is complete, the device outputs the true data

on DQ7. The system must provide the program address

to read valid status information on DQ7. If a program

address falls within a protected sector, Data Polling on

DQ7 is active for approximately 1 µs, then the device

returns to reading array data.

During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data Polling

produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase

algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase

Suspend mode, Data Polling produces a “1” on DQ7.

The system must provide an address within any of the

sectors selected for erasure to read valid status

information on DQ7.

After an erase command sequence is written, if all

sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data Polling

on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 µs, then the

device returns to reading 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.

When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the

complement to true data, it can read valid data at DQ7~

DQ0 on the following read cycles. This is because DQ7

may change asynchronously with DQ0–DQ6 while

Output Enable (OE ) is asserted low. Refer to Figure

21, Data Polling Timings (During Embedded

Algorithms), Figure 19 shows the Data Polling

algorithm.

DQ6:Toggle BIT I

Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded

Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete,

or whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend

mode. Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, 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.

During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm

operation, successive read cycles to any address

cause DQ6 to toggle. The system may use either OE

or CE to control the read cycles. When the operation

is complete, DQ6 stops toggling.

When an erase command sequence is written, if all

sectors selected for erasing are protected, DQ6

toggles for approximately 100 µs, then returns to

reading 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

determine whether a sector is actively erasing or is

erase-suspended. When the device is actively erasing

(i.e. the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),

DQ6 toggles. When the device enters the Erase

Suspend mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the

system must also use DQ2 to determine which sectors

are erasing or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the

system can use DQ7.

If a program address falls within a protected sector,

DQ6 toggles for approximately 2 µs after the program

command sequence is written, then returns to reading

array data.

DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program

mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded

Program algorithm is complete. Table 7 shows the

outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6. Figure 20 shows the

toggle bit algorithm. Figure 22 shows the toggle bit

timing diagrams. Figure 25 shows the differences

between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. Refer to the

subsection on DQ2: Toggle Bit II.

DQ2: Toggle Bit II

The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, when used with DQ6,

indicates whether a particular 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 or CE ,

whichever happens first, in the command sequence.

ESMT F49L160UA/F49L160BA

Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc. Publication Date : Dec. 2006

Revision: 1.3 17/51

DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses

within those sectors that have been selected for

erasure. (The system may use either OE or CE to

control the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish

whether the sector is actively erasing or is

erase-suspended.

DQ6, by comparison, indicates whether the device is

actively erasing, or whether is in erase-suspended, but

cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for

erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector

and mode information. Refer to Table 7 to compare

outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.

Figure 20 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart

form. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection. Figure

22 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure 25

shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in

graphical form.

Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/ DQ2

Refer to Figure 20 for the following discussion.

Whenever the system initially begins reading toggle bit

status, it must read DQ7–DQ0 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 toggle bit

after the first read. After the second read, the system

would compare the new value of the toggle bit with the

first. If the toggle bit is not toggling, the device has

completed the program or erase operation. The system

can read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the following read

cycle.

However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system

determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the

system should note whether the value of DQ5 is high

(see the section on DQ5). If it is, the system should

then determine again whether the toggle bit is toggling,

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 device did not

completed the operation successfully, and the system

must write the reset command to return to reading

array data.

The remaining scenario is that the system initially

determines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ5 has

not gone high. The system may continue to monitor the

toggle bit and DQ5 through successive read cycles,

determining the status as described earlier.

Alternatively, it may choose to perform other system

tasks. In this case, the system must start at the

beginning of the algorithm when it returns to determine

the status of the operation.

DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits

DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has

exceeded the specified limits(internal pulse count).

Under these conditions DQ5 will produce a "1". This

time-out condition indicates that the program or erase

cycle was not successfully completed. Data Polling and

Toggle Bit are the only operating functions of the

device under this condition.

If this time-out condition occurs during sector erase

operation, it specifies that a particular sector is bad and

it may not be reused. However, other sectors are still

functional and may be used for the program or erase

operation. The device must be reset to use other

sectors. Write the Reset command sequence to the

device, and then execute program or erase command

sequence. This allows the system to continue to use

the other active sectors in the device.

If this time-out condition occurs during the chip erase

operation, it specifies that the entire chip is bad or

combination

of sectors are bad.

If this time-out condition occurs during the

programming operation, it specifies that the sector

containing that byte is bad and this sector may not be

reused, however other sectors are still functional and

can be reused.

The time-out condition will not appear if a user tries to

program a non blank location without erasing. Please

note that this is not a device failure condition since the

device was incorrectly used.

DQ3:Sector Erase Timer

After writing a sector erase command sequence, the

system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not an

erase operation has begun. (The sector erase timer

does not apply to the chip erase command.) If

additional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire

timeout also applies after each additional sector erase

command.

When the time-out is complete, DQ3 switches from “0”

to “1.” If the time between additional sector erase

commands from the system can be assumed to be less

than 50 µs, the system need not monitor DQ3.

When the sector erase command sequence is written,

the system should read the status on DQ7 (Data

Polling) or DQ6 (Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device has

accepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3.

If DQ3 is “1”, the internally controlled erase cycle has

begun; all further 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 system software should check the status

of DQ3 prior to and following each subsequent sector

erase command. If DQ3 is high on the second status

check, the last command might not have been

accepted. Table 7 shows the outputs for DQ3.

Revision: 1.3 18/51

7.4 More Device Operations

Hardware Data Protection

The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles for

programming or erasing provides data protection against

inadvertent writes. 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 accept

any write cycles. This protects data during VCC power-up

and power-down. The command register and all internal

program/erase circuits are disabled, and the device

resets. Subsequent 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 CE or WE

do not initiate a write cycle.

Logical Inhibit

Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE =

VIL, CE = VIH or WE = VIH. To initiate a write cycle,

CE and WE must be a logical zero while OE is a

logical one.

Power Supply Decoupling

In order to reduce power switching effect, each device

should have a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor connected

between

its VCC and GND.

Power-Up Sequence

The device powers up in the Read Mode. In addition, the

memory contents may only be altered after successful

completion of the predefined command sequences.

Power-Up Write Inhibit

If WE = CE = VIL and OE = VIH during power up, the

device does not accept commands on the rising edge of

WE . The internal state machine is automatically reset to

reading array data on power-up.

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE (CFI)

The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines device and host system software interrogation handshake,

which allows specific vendor-specified software algorithms to be used for entire families of devices. Software support can

then be device-independent, 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 system 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 array data. The system can read CFI information at

the address given in Tables 8-10 in word mode, the upper address bits (A7-MSB) must be all zeros. To terminate reading

CFI data, the system must write the reset command.

The system can also write the CFI query command when the devices is in the autoselect mode. The device enters the

CFI query mode, and the system can read CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 8-10. The system must write the

reset command to return the device to the autoselect mode.
