GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV033C is a 32 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash
memory organized as 4,194,304 bytes. The device is
offered in 63-ball FBGA and 40-pin TSOP packages.
The byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0. All
read, program, and erase operations are accomplished
using only a single power supply. The device can also
be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The standard device offers access times of 70, 90, and
120 ns, allowing high speed microprocessors to operate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the
device has separate chip enable (CE#), write enable
(WE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.
The device requires only a single 3.0 volt power supply 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 timings. Register contents serve as input 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.
2
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by observing the RY/BY#
pin, or by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6
(toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle is
completed, the device 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
VCC detector that automatically inhibits write operations during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of the sectors of memory. This is achieved in-system or via programming
equipment.
The Erase Suspend 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 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 the boot-up firmware from the Flash
memory.
The device offers two power-saving features. When
addresses are stable for a specified amount of time,
the device enters the automatic sleep mode. The
system can also place the device into the standby
mode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in both
these modes.
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 tunneling.
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 composed of latches that store the
commands, along with the address and data information needed to execute the command. The contents of
Table 1.
Operation
the 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. When the ACC pin is at VHH, the device enters the accelerated program mode. See “Accelerated Program Operations” on
page 22 for more information.
2.
The sector protect and sector unprotect functions may also be implemented via programming equipment. See the “Sector/Sector
Block Protection and Unprotection” on page 15 section.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
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 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 “Reading Array Data” on page 21 for more information. Refer to the AC Read Operations table for tim-
22268B5 September 12, 2006
ing specifications and to Figure 13, on page 34 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 byte, instead of four. The “Byte
Program Command Sequence” on page 21 section
has details on programming data to the device using
both standard and Unlock Bypass command sequences.
Am29LV033C

D A T A
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. Table 2, on page 13 indicates the address space that each sector occupies. A
“sector address” consists of the address bits required
to uniquely select a sector. The “Command Definitions” section contains details for erasing a sector or
the entire chip, or suspending/resuming the erase operation.
After 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” on page 15
and “Autoselect Command Sequence” on page 21
sections for more information.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for the write mode. The “AC
Characteristics” on page 34 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 is one of two functions
provided by the ACC pin. This function is primarily intended to allow faster manufacturing throughput at the
factory.
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 then
uses a two-cycle program command sequence as required by the Unlock Bypass mode. Removing V HH
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.
Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system
checks the status of the operation by reading the status bits on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings
and ICC read specifications apply. Refer to “Write Operation Status” on page 26 for more information, and
to “AC Characteristics” on page 34 for timing diagrams.
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.
10
S H E E T
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 is in the standby mode, but the
standby current is greater. The device requires standard access time (tCE) for read access when the device is in either of these standby modes, before it is
ready to read data.
The device also enters the standby mode when the
RESET# pin is driven low. Refer to the next section,
“RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin”.
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
tACC + 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
repr esen ts th e automatic sleep mo de cu rren t
specification.

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 is
greater.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would also reset the Flash memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware
from the Flash memory.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a “0” (busy) until the
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a

D A T A
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The system can thus monitor RY/BY# to determine whether
the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is asserted
when a program or erase operation is not executing
(RY/BY# pin is “1”), the reset operation is completed
within a time of t READY (not during Embedded Algorithms). The system can read data tRH after the RESET# pin returns to VIH.

Refer to the “AC Characteristics” on page 34 tables for
RESET# parameters and to Figure 14, on page 35 for
the timing diagram.
Output Disable Mode
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high impedance state.

Autoselect Mode
ing address bits that are don’t care. When all necessar y bits are set as required, the programming
equipment may then read the corresponding identifier
code on DQ7-DQ0.
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 programming
algorithm. However, the autoselect codes can also be
accessed in-system through the command register.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in Table 9, on page 25.
This method does not require VID. See “Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into
the command register initiates device operations.
Table 9, on page 25 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.” for details on
using the autoselect mode.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect
mode requires VID (11.5 V to 12.5 V) on address pin
A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in
Table 3. In addition, when verifying sector protection,
the sector address must appear on the appropriate
highest order address bits. Table 3 shows the remainTable 3.

Sector/Sector Block Protection and
Unprotection
(Note: For the following discussion, the term “sector”
applies to both sectors and sector blocks. A sector
block consists of two or more adjacent sectors that are
protected or unprotected at the same time (see Table 4,
on page 16).
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hardware sector unprotection feature re-enables both program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors. Sector protection/unprotection can be implemented via two methods.
The primary method requires VID on the RESET# pin
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2, on page 17 shows
the algorithms and Figure 22, on page 41 shows the
timing diagram. This method uses standard micropro-
22268B5 September 12, 2006
cessor 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 and OE#.
This method is compatible with programmer routines
written for earlier 3.0 volt-only AMD flash devices.
Publication number 22269 contains further details;
contact an AMD representative to request a copy.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
AMD offers the option of programming and protecting
sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device
through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an
AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or unprotected. See “Autoselect Mode” on
page 15 for details.

Hardware Data Protection
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles
for programming or erasing provides data protection
against inadver tent writes (refer to Table 9, on
page 25 for command definitions). In addition, the following hardware data protection measures prevent accidental erasure or programming, which might
otherwise be caused by spurious system level signals
during VCC power-up and power-down transitions, or
from system noise.
Low VCC Write Inhibit
When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not 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 pro-
vide 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 OE#, 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-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, any time the device is ready to read array data.
The system can read CFI information at the addresses
given in Tables Table 5, on page 18 to Table 8, on
Table 5.
16
page 20. 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
enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read
CFI data at the addresses given in Table 5 to Table 8,
on page 20. The system must write the reset command to return the device to the autoselect mode.
For further information, please refer to the CFI Specification and CFI Publication 100, available via the World
Wide Web at http://www.amd.com/products/nvd/overview/cfi.html. Alternatively, contact an AMD representative for copies of these documents.

COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device operations. Table 9, on page 25 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 appropriate timing diagrams in “AC
Characteristics” on page 34.
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 reading array data (also
applies to autoselect during Erase Suspend).
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the device to reading array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
Reading Array Data
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.
After 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 at 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” on page 23 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 autoselect mode. See the “Reset
Command” on page 21 section, next.
See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” on
page 11 in the “Device Bus Operations” section for
more information. The Read Operations table provides
the read parameters, and Figure 13, on page 34
shows the timing diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command to the device resets the
device to reading array data. Address bits are don’t
care 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,
22268B5 September 12, 2006
however, the device ignores reset commands until the
operation is complete.
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and devices
codes, and determine whether or not a sector is protected. Table 9, on page 25 shows the address and
data requirements. This method is an alternative to
that shown in Table 3, on page 15, which is intended
for PROM programmers and requires VID on address
bit A9.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect command. The device then enters the autoselect mode,
and the system may read at any address any number
of times, without initiating another command sequence. A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the
manufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns the device code. 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
Table 4, on page 16 for valid sector addresses.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.
Byte Program Command Sequence
The device programs one byte of data for each program operation. The command sequence requires four
bus cycles, and 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 generates the program pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin.
Table 9, on page 25 shows the address and data requirements for the byte program command sequence.
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/BY#. See “Write Operation Status”
on page 26 for information on these status bits.
Am29LV033C

D A T A
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the programming operation. The Byte Program command sequence should be reinitiated once the device has reset
to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
S H E E T
Figure 3 illustrates the algorithm for the program operation. See the “Erase/Program Operations” on
page 36 table in “AC Characteristics” for parameters,
and to Figure 15, on page 37 for timing diagrams.
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 shows that
the data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert
a “0” to a “1”.

Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program bytes 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 9, on page 25 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 the data 00h. Addresses are
don’t cares for both cycles. The device then returns to
reading array data.

Chip Erase Command Sequence
Accelerated Program Operations
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, eliminating two cycles from the command sequence. In addition, the device uses the higher voltage
on the ACC pin to accelerate the operation. Note that
the ACC pin must not be at VHH during read or erase
operations, or device damage may result. If ACC is to
be permanently set, it is recommended that it be tied
to VCC to minimize current consumption.

Embedded
Program
algorithm
in progress
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 9, on
page 25 shows the address and data requirements for
the chip erase command sequence.
Am29LV033C
22268B5 September 12, 2006
D A T A
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 data
integrity.
The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY#. See
“Write Operation Status” on page 26 for 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.
Figure 4, on page 24 illustrates the algorithm for the
erase operation. See the “Erase/Program Operations”
on page 36 for parameters, and Figure 17, on page 38
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 write cycles are then followed by the
address of the sector to be erased, and the sector
erase command. Table 9, on page 25 shows the address and data requirements for the sector erase command sequence.
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
22268B5 September 12, 2006
S H E E T
Erase Timer” on page 28 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 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/BY#. (Refer to “Write Operation Status”
on page 26 for information on these status bits.)
Figure 4, on page 24 illustrates the algorithm for the
erase operation. Refer to the “Erase/Program Operations” on page 36 tables in the “AC Characteristics”
section for parameters, and to Figure 17, on page 38
for timing diagrams.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
Commands
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. This command is valid only during the sector
erase operation, including the time-out period 50 µs
during the sector erase command sequence. The
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algorithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the
time-out period and suspends the erase operation. Addresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase Suspend command.
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.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the
system can read array data from or program data to
any sector not selected for erasure. (The device “erase
suspends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Normal
read and write timings and command definitions apply.
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” on page 26 for information on these status bits.

S H E E T
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, the system can once again read array data
within non-suspended sectors. The system determines the status of the program operation using the
DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard program operation. See “Write Operation Status” on
page 26 for more information.

Write Erase
Command Sequence
The system may also write the autoselect command
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend
mode. The device allows reading autoselect codes
even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the
codes are not stored in the memory array. When the
device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to
the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another
valid operation. See “Autoselect Command Sequence”
on page 21 for more information.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7,
and RY/BY#. Table 10, on page 29 and the following
subsections describe the functions of these bits. DQ7,
RY/BY#, and DQ6 each offer a method for determining
whether a program or erase operation is complete or
in progress. These three bits are discussed first.
Table 10, on page 29 shows the outputs for Data#
Polling on DQ7. Figure 5 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.
START
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system whether an Embedded 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 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 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 reading
array data.
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
DQ7 = Data?
No
No
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 bec a u se D Q 7 m ay c ha n g e a s y n c h r o no u s l y w i t h
DQ0–DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is asserted low.
Figure 18, on page 39, Data# Polling Timings (During
Embedded Algorithms), in the “AC Characteristics”
section illustrates this.
24
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.
This is analogous to the complement/true datum output described for the Embedded Program algorithm:
the erase function changes all the bits in a sector to
“1”; prior to this, the device outputs the “complement,”
or “0.” 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.

Notes:
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector
erase operation, a valid address is an address within
any sector selected for erasure. 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.

RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that
indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in
progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after
the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence. Since RY/BY# is an open-drain output, several RY/BY# 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 10, on page 29 shows the outputs for RY/BY#.
Figures “RESET# Timings” on page 35, Figure 15, on
page 37 and Figure 17, on page 38 shows RY/BY# for
reset, program, and erase operations, respectively.
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.
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.
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).
If a program address falls within a protected sector,
DQ6 toggles for approximately 1 µs after the program
command sequence is written, then returns to reading
array data.
22268B5 September 12, 2006
S H E E T
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Program algorithm is complete.
Table 10, on page 29 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit
I on DQ6. Figure 6, on page 28 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and the section “Reading
Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2” on page 27 explains the algorithm. Figure 19, on page 39 in the “AC Characteristics” section shows the toggle bit timing diagrams.
Figure 20, on page 39 shows the differences between
DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also 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# pulse in
the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses
within those sectors that were 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 10, on page 29 to compare outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6, on page 28 shows the toggle bit algorithm in
flowchart form, and the section “Reading Toggle Bits
DQ6/DQ2” explains the algorithm. See also the “DQ6:
Toggle Bit I” subsection. Figure 19, on page 39 shows
the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure 20, on page 39
shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in
graphical form.
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2
Refer to Figure 6, on page 28 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 tog-
Am29LV033C
25

S H E E T
gling, since the toggle bit may have stopped toggling
just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer
toggling, the device has successfully completed the
program or erase operation. If it is still toggling, the device did not completed the operation successfully, and
the system must write the reset command to return to
reading array data.
START
Read DQ7–DQ0
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 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 6).

exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit. Under
these conditions DQ5 produces a “1.” This is a failure
condition that indicates the program or erase cycle
was not successfully completed.
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system
tries to program a “1” to a location that is 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 operation
has exceeded the timing limits, 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 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
time-out 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. See also “Sector Erase Command Sequence” on page 23.
After the sector erase command sequence is written,
the system should read the status on DQ7 (Data# Poll-

ing) 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 (other than Erase Suspend) are ignored until the erase operation is complete. If DQ3 is “0”, the device accepts 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 10 shows the outputs for DQ3.

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 = 2.7 V, 1,000,000 cycles.
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes
program faster than the maximum program times listed.
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure.
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the four- or two-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See
Table 9, on page 25 for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a guaranteed minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
