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
Y
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
Y
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
Y
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
register (which is separate from the memory array) on
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
Y
. 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
Y
. 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
Y
. (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
Y
, DQ7, DQ6,
DQ5, DQ3, DQ2, and. Table 7 and the following
subsections describe the functions of these bits.
RY/ B
Y
, 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
Y
is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that
indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in
progress or complete. The RY/B
Y
status is valid after
the rising edge of the final WE pulse in the command
sequence. Since RY/ B
Y
is an open-drain output,
several RY/B
Y
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
Y
.
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.

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.
