GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV641G are 64 Mbit, 3.0 volt (3.0 V to 3.6 V)
single power supply flash memory devices organized
as 4,194,304 words. Data appears on DQ15–DQ0.
These devices are designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 3.0 volt VCC supply. A
12.0 volt VPP is not required for program or erase operations. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
Access times of 55 regulated volage and 70 ns full
voltage range are available for applications where VIO
≥ V CC . The Am29LV641GH/L is offered in 48-pin
T S O P a n d r eve r s e T S O P p a ck a g e s. T h e
Am29LV640GU is offered in a 63-ball Fine-pitch BGA
package, and a 64-ball Fortified BGA. To eliminate bus
contention each device has separate chip enable
(CE#), write enable (WE#) and output enable (OE#)
controls.
Each device requires only a single 3.0 volt power
supply (2.7 V to 3.6 V) for both read and write functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages are
provided for the program and erase operations.
The device is entirely command set compatible with
the JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard.
Commands are written to the command register using
standard microprocessor write timing. Register contents serve as inputs to an internal state-machine that
controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write
cycles also internally latch addresses and data
needed for the programming and erase operations.
Reading data out of the device is similar to reading
from other Flash or EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by executing the program
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded
Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facilitates faster programming times by requiring only two
write cycles to program data instead of four.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase
algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically
preprograms the array (if it is not already programmed) before executing the erase operation. During erase, the device automatically times the erase
pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin.
The VersatileI/O™ (VIO) control allows the host system to set the voltage levels that the device generates
at its data outputs and the voltages tolerated at its
data inputs to the same voltage level that is asserted
on the VIO pin. This allows the device to operate in 1.8
V or 3 V system environment as required.
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by reading the DQ7
(Data# Polling) or DQ6 (toggle) status bits. After a
program or erase cycle has been completed, the de5
vice is ready to read array data or accept another
command.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting
the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
V CC detector that automatically inhibits write operations during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of sectors of memory.
This can be achieved in-system or via programming
equipment.
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume feature enables
the user to put erase on hold for any period of time to
read data from, or program data to, any sector that is
not selected for erasure. True background erase can
thus be achieved. The Program Suspend/Program
Resume feature enables the host system to pause a
program operation in a given sector to read any other
sector and then complete the program operation.
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation
in progress and resets the internal state machine to
reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to
the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus
also reset the device, enabling the system microprocessor to read boot-up firmware from the Flash memory device.
The device offers a standby mode as a power-saving
feature. Once the system places the device into the
standby mode power consumption is greatly reduced.
The SecSi™ (Secured Silicon) Sector provides an
minimum 128-word area for code or data that can be
permanently protected. Once this sector is protected,
no further programming or erasing within the sector
can occur.
The Write Protect (WP#) feature protects the first or
last sector by asserting a logic low on the WP# pin.
The protected sector will still be protected even during
accelerated programming. (Am29LV641GH/L only)
The accelerated program (ACC) feature allows the
system to program the device at a much faster rate.
When ACC is pulled high to VHH, the device enters the
Unlock Bypass mode, enabling the user to reduce the
time needed to do the program operation. This feature
is intended to increase factory throughput during system production, but may also be used in the field if desired.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash
memory manufacturing experience to produce the
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness. The device electrically erases all bits within a
sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling.
The data is programmed using hot electron injection.

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS
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 location. The register is a latch used to store the commands, along with the address and data information
needed to execute the command. The contents of the
Table 1.
register serve as inputs to the internal state machine.
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 resulting
output. The following subsections describe each of
these operations in further detail.

Notes:
1. Addresses are A21:A0. Sector addresses are A21:A15.
2. The sector protect and sector unprotect functions may also be implemented via programming equipment. See the “Sector Group
Protection and Unprotection” section.
3. All sectors are unprotected when shipped from the factory (The SecSi Sector may be factory protected depending on version
ordered.)
4. DIN or DOUT as required by command sequence, data polling, or sector protect algorithm (see Figure 2).
VersatileI/O™ (VIO) Control
Requirements for Reading Array Data
The VersatileI/O (VIO) control allows the host system
to set the voltage levels that the device generates at
its data outputs and the voltages tolerated at its data
inputs to the same voltage level that is asserted on the
VIO pin. This allows the device to operate in 1.8 V or 3
V system environment as required.
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.
For example, a VI/O of 1.65–1.95 volts allows for I/O at
the 3 volt level, driving and receiving signals to and
from other 3 V devices on the same bus.
13
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 read cycles that assert valid
addresses on the device address inputs produce valid
data on the device data outputs. The device remains

I N F O R M A T I O N
enabled for read access until the command register
contents are altered.
See “Requirements for Reading Array Data” for more
information. Refer to the AC Read-Only Operations
table for timing specifications and to Figure 14 for the
timing diagram. ICC1 in the DC Characteristics table
represents the active current specification for reading
array data.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
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 device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facilitate faster programming. Once the device enters the
Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles are required to program a word, instead of four. The “Word
Program Command Sequence” section has details on
programming data to the device using both standard
and Unlock Bypass command sequences.
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. Table 2 indicates the address
space that each sector occupies.
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.
Accelerated Program Operation
The device offers accelerated program operations
through the ACC function. This function is primarily intended to allow faster manufacturing throughput during system production.
If the system asserts VHH on this pin, the device automatically enters the aforementioned Unlock Bypass
mode, temporarily unprotects any protected sectors,
and uses the higher voltage on the pin to reduce the
time required for program operations. The system
would use a two-cycle program command sequence
as required by the Unlock Bypass mode. Removing
VHH from the ACC pin returns the device to normal operation. Note that the ACC pin must not be at VHH for
operations other than accelerated programming, or
device damage may result.
Autoselect Functions
If the system writes the autoselect command sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The
system can then read autoselect 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 Autoselect Mode and Autoselect Command Sequence sections for more information.
June 14, 2005
Standby Mode
When the system is not reading or writing to the device, it can place the device 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.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the
CE# and RESET# pins are both held at VCC ± 0.3 V.
(Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
VIH.) If CE# and RESET# are held at VIH, but not within
VCC ± 0.3 V, the device will be in the standby mode,
but the standby current will be greater. The device requires standard access time (t CE ) for read access
when the device is in either of these standby modes,
before it is ready to read data.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.
I CC3 in the DC Characteristics table represents the
standby current specification.
Automatic Sleep Mode
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device energy consumption. The device automatically enables
this mode when addresses remain stable for t ACC +
30 ns. 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.
I CC4 in the DC Characteristics table represents the
automatic sleep mode current specification.
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When the RESET# pin is driven low for at least a period 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 RESET#
pulse. The device also resets the internal state machine to reading array data. The operation that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is
ready to accept another command sequence, to ensure data integrity.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. When RESET# is held at VSS±0.3 V, the device
draws CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET# is held
at VIL but not within VSS±0.3 V, the standby current will
be greater.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash
memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.

Autoselect Mode
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This
mode is primarily intended for programming equipment to automatically match a device to be programmed with its corresponding programm ing
algorithm. However, the autoselect codes can also be
accessed in-system through the command register.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect
mode requires VID (8.5 V to 12.5 V) on address pin A9.
Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in
Table 3.
Table 3. In addition, when verifying sector protection,
the sector address must appear on the appropriate
highest order address bits (see Table 2). Table 3
shows the remaining address bits that are don’t care.
When all necessary bits have been set as required,
the programming equipment may then read the corresponding identifier code on DQ7–DQ0.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in Table 10. This method
does not require V ID. Refer to the Autoselect Command Sequence section for more information.

Sector Group Protection and
Unprotection
Table 4.
Sector Group Protection/Unprotection
Address Table
The hardware sector group protection feature disables
both program and erase operations in any sector
group. In this device, a sector group consists of four
adjacent sectors that are protected or unprotected at
the same time (see Table 4). The hardware sector
group unprotection feature re-enables both program
and erase operations in previously protected sector
groups. Sector group protection/unprotection can be
implemented via two methods.
Sector Group
A21–A17
SA0–SA3
00000
The primary method requires VID on the RESET# pin
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algorithms and Figure 23 shows the timing diagram. This
method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle timing. For sector group unprotect, all unprotected sector
groups must first be protected prior to the first sector
group unprotect write cycle.
The alternate method intended only for programming
equipment requires VID on address pin A9 and OE#.
This method is compatible with programmer routines
written for earlier 3.0 volt-only AMD flash devices.

Write Protect (WP#)
The Write Protect function provides a hardware
method of protecting the first or last sector without
using VID.
START
If the system asserts VIL on the WP# pin, the device
disables program and erase functions in the first or
last sector independently of whether those sectors
were protected or unprotected using the method described in “Sector Group Protection and Unprotection”.
Note that if WP# is at V IL when the device is in the
standby mode, the maximum input load current is increased. See the table in “DC Characteristics”.
RESET# = VID
(Note 1)
Perform Erase or
Program Operations
RESET# = VIH
If the system asserts VIH on the WP# pin, the device
reverts to whether the first or last sector was previously set to be protected or unprotected using the
method described in “Sector Group Protection and
Unprotection”.
Temporary Sector
Group Unprotect
Completed (Note 2)
Temporary Sector Group Unprotect
(Note: In this device, a sector group consists of four adjacent
sectors that are protected or unprotected at the same time
(see Table 4)).
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously protected sector groups to change data in-system. The Sector Group Unprotect mode is activated by
setting the RESET# pin to VID (8.5 V – 12.5 V). During
this mode, formerly protected sector groups can be
programmed or erased by selecting the sector group
addresses. Once V ID is removed from the RESET#
pin, all the previously protected sector groups are
protected again. Figure 1 shows the algorithm, and
Figure 22 shows the timing diagrams, for this feature.

Notes:
1. All protected sector groups unprotected (If WP# = VIL,
the first or last sector will remain protected).
2. All previously protected sector groups are protected
once again.

SecSi™ (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash
Memory Region
or following a hardware reset, the device reverts to
sending commands to sector SA0.
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector feature provides a
Flash memory region that enables permanent part
identification through an Electronic Serial Number
(ESN). The SecSi Sector is 128 words in length, and
uses a SecSi Sector Indicator Bit (DQ7) to indicate
whether or not the SecSi Sector is locked when
shipped from the factory. This bit is permanently set at
the factory and cannot be changed, which prevents
cloning of a factory locked part. This ensures the security of the ESN once the product is shipped to the field.
Factory Locked: SecSi Sector Programmed and
Protected At the Factory
AMD offers the device with the SecSi Sector either
fac t or y l ocke d or c u s t om e r l o ck abl e. T he fac tory-locked version is always protected when shipped
from the factory, and has the SecSi (Secured Silicon)
Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a “1.” The customer-lockable version is shipped with the SecSi Sector unprotected, allowing customers to utilize that
sector in any manner they choose. The customer-lockable version also has the SecSi Sector Indicator Bit
permanently set to a “0.” Thus, the SecSi Sector Indicator Bit prevents customer-lockable devices from
being used to replace devices that are factory locked.
The SecSi sector address space in this device is allocated as follows:

*All Uniform Devices (not including Uniform High) such as Am29LV640GU
has its Sector starting at address 0.
The system accesses the SecSi Sector through a
command sequence (see “Enter SecSi Sector/Exit
SecSi Sector Command Sequence”). After the system
has written the Enter SecSi Sector command sequence, it may read the SecSi Sector by using the addresses normally occupied by the first sector (SA0).
This mode of operation continues until the system issues the Exit SecSi Sector command sequence, or
until power is removed from the device. On power-up,
23
In devices with an ESN, the SecSi Sector is protected
when the device is shipped from the factory. The SecSi
Sector cannot be modified in any way. A factory locked
device has an 8-word random ESN at addresses
000000h–000007h.
Customers may opt to have their code programmed by
AMD through the AMD ExpressFlash service. The devices are then shipped from AMD’s factory with the
SecSi Sector permanently locked. Contact an AMD
representative for details on using AMD’s ExpressFlash service.
Customer Lockable: SecSi Sector NOT
Programmed or Protected At the Factory
As an alternative to the factory-locked version, the device may be ordered such that the customer may progra m an d p r ot ec t t he 12 8 - wo rd Se cS i se ct or.
Programming and protecting the SecSi Sector must be
used with caution since, once protected, there is no
procedure available for unprotecting the SecSi Sector
area and none of the bits in the SecSi Sector memory
space can be modified in any way.
The SecSi Sector area can be protected using one of
the following procedures:
■ Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region
command sequence, and then follow the in-system
sector protect algorithm as shown in Figure 2, except that RESET# may be at either VIH or VID. This
allows in-system protection of the SecSi Sector
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 “Sector
Group Protection and Unprotection” section.
Once the SecSi Sector is programmed, locked and
verified, the system must write the Exit SecSi Sector
Region command sequence to return to reading and
writing within the remainder of the array.

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.
CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 6–9. The
system must write the reset command to return the
device to reading array data.
For further information, please refer to the CFI Specification and CFI Publication 100, available via the
World Wide Web at http://www.amd.com/flash/cfi. Alternatively, contact an AMD representative for copies
of these documents.
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the system writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to address
55h, any time the device is ready to read array data.
The system can read CFI information at the addresses
given in Tables 6–9. To terminate reading CFI data,
the system must write the reset command.
The system can also write the CFI query command
when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device

COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device operations. Table 10 defines the valid register command
sequences. Writing incorrect address and data values or writing them in the improper sequence may
place the device in an unknown state. A reset command is then required to return 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 AC Characteristics 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
27
retrieve data. The device is ready to read array data
after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded
Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,
the device enters the erase-suspend-read mode, after
which the system can read data from any
non-erase-suspended sector. 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 Resume
Commands section for more information.
The system must issue the reset command to return
the device to the read (or erase-suspend-read) mode
if DQ5 goes high during an active program or erase
operation, or if the device is in the autoselect mode.
See the next section, Reset Command, for more information.

See also Requirements for Reading Array Data in the
Device Bus Operations section for more information.
The Read-Only Operations table provides the read parameters, and Figure 14 shows the timing diagram.
■ A read cycle at address XX00h returns the manufacturer code.
Reset Command
■ A read cycle to an address containing a sector
group address (SA), and the address 02h on A7–A0
in word mode returns 01h if the sector group is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. (Refer to Table 4
for valid sector addresses).
Writing the reset command resets the device to the
read or erase-suspend-read mode. Address bits are
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 the read
mode. 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
the read mode. If the program command sequence is
written while the device is in the Erase Suspend mode,
writing the reset command returns the device to the
erase-suspend-read 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 autoselect command sequence.
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command
must be written to return to the read mode. If the device entered the autoselect mode while in the Erase
Suspend mode, writing the reset command returns the
device to the erase-suspend-read mode.
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the device to the
read mode (or erase-suspend-read mode if the device
was in Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and device codes,
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
Table 10 shows the address and data requirements.
This method is an alternative to that shown in Table 3,
which is intended for PROM programmers and requires V ID on address pin A9. The autoselect command sequence may be written to an address that is
either in the read or erase-suspend-read mode. The
autoselect command may not be written while the device is actively programming or erasing.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by first
writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third
write cycle that contains the autoselect command. The
device then enters the autoselect mode. The system
may read at any address any number of times without
initiating another autoselect command sequence:
June 14, 2005
■ A read cycle at address XX01h returns the device
code.
The system must write the reset command to return to
the read mode (or erase-suspend-read mode if the device was previously in Erase Suspend).
Enter SecSi Sector/Exit SecSi Sector
Command Sequence
The SecSi Sector region provides a secured data area
containing an 8-word random Electronic Serial Number (ESN). The system can access the SecSi Sector
region by issuing 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 Sector command sequence. The
Exit SecSi Sector command sequence returns the device to normal operation. Table 10 shows the address
and data requirements for both command sequences.
See also “SecSi ™ (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash
Memory Region” for further information.
Word Program Command Sequence
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. Table 10 shows the address
and data requirements for the word program command
sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
the device then returns to the read mode and addresses are no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the program operation by using
DQ7 or DQ6. Refer to the Write Operation Status section for 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 program
operation. The program command sequence should
be reinitiated once the device has returned to the read
mode, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across
sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed

from “0” back to a “1.” Attempting to do so may
cause the device to set DQ5 = 1, or cause the DQ7
and DQ6 status bits 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.”
START
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
Write Program
Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program words to the device 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.
The device then enters the unlock bypass mode. A
two-cycle unlock bypass program command sequence
is all that is required to program in this mode. The first
cycle in this sequence contains the unlock bypass program command, A0h; the second cycle contains the
program address and data. Additional data is programmed in the same manner. This mode dispenses
with the initial two unlock cycles required in the standard program command sequence, resulting in faster
total programming time. Table 10 shows the requirements for the command sequence.
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock Bypass Program and Unlock Bypass Reset commands
are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system
must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset command sequence. The first cycle must contain the data
90h. The second cycle must contain the data 00h. The
device then returns to the read mode.
The device offers accelerated program operations
through the ACC pin. When the system asserts VHH on
the ACC pin, the device automatically enters 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
ACC pin to accelerate the operation. Note that the
ACC pin must not be at VHH for operations other than
accelerated programming, or device damage may result.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the program operation. Refer to the Erase and Program Operations
table in the AC Characteristics section for parameters,
and Figure 16 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
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. The system is not required to provide any controls or timings during these operations. Table 10
shows the address and data requirements for the chip
erase command sequence.
Am29LV641G
June 14, 2005
A D V A N C E
I N F O R M A T I O N
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to the read mode and addresses are no
longer latched. The system can determine the status
of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6 or DQ2.
Refer to the Write Operation Status section for information on these status bits.
Any commands written during the chip erase operation
are ignored. However, note that a hardware reset immediately terminates the erase operation. If that occurs, the chip erase command sequence should be
reinitiated once the device has returned to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 5 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer to the Erase and Program Operations tables in the AC Characteristics section for parameters,
and Figure 18 section for timing diagrams.
Sector Erase Command Sequence
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 cycles are written, and are then followed by the address of the sector to be erased, and
the sector erase command. Table 10 shows the address and data requirements for the sector erase command sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram
prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically 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 timings during these operations.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading array data and addresses
are no longer latched. Note that while the Embedded
Erase operation is in progress, the system can read
data from the non-erasing sector. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by reading
DQ7, DQ6, or DQ2 in the erasing sector. Refer to the
Write Operation Status section for information on
these status bits.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other commands are ignored. However, note that a hardware
reset immediately terminates the erase operation. If
that occurs, the sector erase command sequence
should be reinitiated once the device has returned to
reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 5 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer to the Erase and Program Operations tables in the AC Characteristics section for parameters,
and Figure 18 section for timing diagrams.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
Commands
The Erase Suspend command, B0h, allows the system to interrupt a sector erase operation and then read
data from, or program data to, any sector not 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.
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 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 erasure may begin. Any sector erase
address and command following the exceeded
time-out may or may not be accepted. 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. Any command other than
S e ct o r E ra se o r E ra s e S u sp en d d u r in g th e
time-out period resets the device to the read
mode. The system must rewrite the command sequence and any additional addresses and commands.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during
the 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.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector erase timer has timed out (See the section on DQ3:
Sector Erase Timer.). The time-out begins from the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, the device returns to the erase-suspend-read
mode. The system can determine the status of the
program operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits,
just as in the standard word program operation.
June 14, 2005
After the erase operation has been suspended, the
device enters the erase-suspend-read mode. The system can read data from or program data to any sector
not selected for erasure. (The device “erase suspends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Reading at
any address within erase-suspended sectors produces status information 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.
Refer to the Write Operation Status section for information on these status bits.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of
a program or erase operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, and
DQ7. Table 11 and the following subsections describe the
function of these bits. DQ7 and DQ6 each offer a method for
determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or in progress.
in the AC Characteristics section shows the Data#
Polling timing diagram.
START
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system
whether an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is in
progress or completed, or whether the device is in Erase
Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the
final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
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 datum programmed to
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 the
read mode.
DQ7 = Data?
No
No
Just prior to the completion of an Embedded Program
or Erase operation, DQ7 may change asynchronously
with DQ0–DQ6 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 status or valid data. Even if the device has completed the program or erase operation and DQ7 has
valid data, the data outputs on DQ0–DQ6 may be still
invalid. Valid data on DQ0–DQ7 will appear on successive read cycles.
Table 11 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.
Figure 6 shows the Data# Polling algorithm. Figure 19
33
DQ5 = 1?
Yes
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 the read mode. If not all selected
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 an address within a protected
sector, the status may not be valid.
Yes
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
DQ7 = Data?
Yes
No
FAIL
PASS
Notes:
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector
erase operation, a valid address is any sector address
within the sector being erased. During chip erase, a
valid address is any non-protected sector address.
2. DQ7 should be rechecked even if DQ5 = “1” because
DQ7 may change simultaneously with DQ5.
Figure 6. 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
Am29LV641G
June 14, 2005

I N F O R M A T I O N
program or erase operation), and during the sector
erase time-out.
START
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.
Read DQ7–DQ0
After 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.
Read DQ7–DQ0
Toggle Bit
= Toggle?
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 (that is, 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 (see the subsection on
DQ7: Data# Polling).
No

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# pulse in
the command sequence.
the toggle bit and DQ5 through successive read cycles, determining the status as described in the previous paragraph. 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 (top of Figure 7).
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits
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 is in Erase Suspend, but
cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and
mode information. Refer to Table 11 to compare outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.
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.
Figure 7 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart
form, and the section “DQ2: Toggle Bit II” explains the
algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection.
Figure 20 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure
21 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in
graphical form.
Under both these conditions, the system must write
the reset command to return to the read mode (or to
the erase-suspend-read mode if the device was previously in the erase-suspend-program mode).
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2
Refer to Figure 7 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 also 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
35
The device may output a “1” on DQ5 if the system tries
to program a “1” to a location that was previously programmed to “0.” Only an erase operation can
change a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the
device halts the operation, and when the timing limit
has been exceeded, DQ5 produces a “1.”
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not
erasure has begun. (The sector 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 command. When the time-out period is complete, DQ3
switches from a “0” to a “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. See also the Sector Erase Command
Sequence section.
After the sector erase command is written, the system
should read the status of DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6
(Toggle Bit I) to ensure that the device has accepted
the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is
“1,” the Embedded Erase algorithm 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 11 shows the status of DQ3 relative to the other
status bits.

Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 3.0 V VCC, 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally, programming typicals
assume checkerboard pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 3.0 V, 1,000,000 cycles.
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most words program faster than
the maximum program times listed.
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bits are programmed to 00h before erasure.
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the two- or four-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See Table 10 for further
information on command definitions.
6. The device has a minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
