GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The A49LF004 flash memory device is designed to be readcompatible with the Intel 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH)
device for PC-BIOS application. This device is designed to
use a single low voltage, range from 3.0 Volt to 3.6 Volt
power supply to perform in-system or off-system read and
write operations. It provides protection for the storage and
update of code and data in addition to adding system
design flexibility through five general-purpose inputs. Two
interface modes are supported by the A49LF004: Firmware
Hub (FWH) Interface mode for In-System programming and
Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) mode for fast
factory programming of PC-BIOS applications.
the command interface by which activating the internal
control logic to automatically process the Program/Erase
procedures. The device can be programmed on a byte-bybyte basis after performing the Erase operation. In addition
to the Block Erase operation, the Chip Erase feature is
provided in A/A Mux mode that allows the whole memory to
be erased in one single Erase operation. The A49LF004
provides the status detection such as Data# Polling and
Toggle Bit Functions in both FWH and A/A Mux modes. The
process or completion of Program and Erase operations
can be detected by reading the status bits.
The A49LF004 is offered in 32-lead TSOP and 32-lead
PLCC packages. See Figures 1 and 2 for pin assignments
and Table 1 for pin descriptions.
The memory is divided into eight uniform 64Kbyte blocks
that can be erased independently without affecting the data
in other blocks. Blocks also can be protected individually to
prevent accidental Program or Erase commands from
modifying the memory. The Program and Erase operations
are executed by issuing the Program/Erase commands into

when FWH4 is high and no internal operation is in progress.
The device is in ready mode when FWH4 is low and no
activity is on the FWH bus.
MODE SELECTION
The A49LF004 flash memory devices can operate in two
distinct interface modes: the Firmware Hub Interface
(FWH) mode and the Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A
Mux) mode. The IC (Interface Configuration pin) is used to
set the interface mode selection. If the IC pin is set to logic
High, the device is in A/A Mux mode; while if the IC pin is set
Low, the device is in the FWH mode. The IC selection pin
must be configured prior to device operation. The IC pin is
internally pulled down if the pin is not connected. In FWH
mode, the device is configured to interface with its host
using Intel’s Firmware Hub proprietary protocol.
Communication between Host and the A49LF004 occurs via
the 4-bit I/O communication signals, FWH [3:0] and the
FWH4. In A/A Mux mode, the device is programmed via an
11-bit address A10-A0 and an 8-bit data I/O7-I/O0 parallel
signals. The address inputs are multiplexed in row and
column selected by control signal R/C# pin. The column
addresses are mapped to the higher internal addresses, and
the row addresses are mapped to the lower internal
addresses. See the Device Memory Maps in Figure 3 for
address assignment.
FWH Read Operation
FWH Read operations read from the memory cells or
specific registers in the FWH device. A valid FWH Read
operation starts when FWH4 is Low as CLK rises and a
START value “1101b” is on FWH[3:0]. Addresses and data
are transferred to and from the device decided by a series of
“fields”. Field sequences and contents are strictly defined for
FWH Read operations. Refer to Table 2 for FWH Read
Cycle Definition.
FWH Write Operation
FWH Write operations write to the FWH Interface or FWH
registers. A valid FWH Write operation starts when FWH4 is
Low as CLK rises and a START value “1110b” is on
FWH[3:0]. Addresses and data are transferred to and from
the device decided by a series of “fields”. Field sequences
and contents are strictly defined for FWH Write operations.
Refer to Table 3 for FWH write Cycle Definition.
FWH Abort Operation
If FWH4 is driven low for one or more clock cycles during a
FWH cycle, the cycle will be terminated and the device will
wait for the ABORT command. The host may drive the
FWH[3:0] with ‘1111b’ (ABORT command) to return the
device to Ready mode. If abort occurs during a Write
operation, the data may be incorrectly altered.
FWH MODE OPERATION
The FWH interface consists of four data signals (FWH[3:0]),
one control signal (FWH4) and a clock (CLK). The data
signals, control signal and clock comply with PCI
specifications. Operations such as Memory Read and
Memory Write use Intel FWH propriety protocol. JEDEC
Standard SDP (Software Data Protection) Byte-Program and
Block-Erase command sequences are incorporated into the
FWH memory cycles. Chip-Erase command is only available
in A/A Mux mode. The addresses and data are transferred
through FWH[3:0] synchronized with the input clock CLK
during a FWH memory cycle. The pulse of FWH4 is inserted
for at least one clock period to indicate the start of a FWH
memory cycle. The address or data on FWH[3:0] is latched
on the rising edge of CLK. The device enters standby mode

(November, 2003, Version 0.0)
Response To Invalid Fields
During FWH operations, the FWH will not explicitly indicate
that it has received invalid field sequences. The response to
specific invalid fields or sequences is as follows:
Address out of range: The FWH address sequence is 7
fields long (28 bits), but only the last five address fields
(20 bits) will be decoded by A49LF004. Address A22 has the
special function of directing reads and writes to the flash
memory (A22=1) or to the register space (A22=0).

DATA
AMIC Technology, Corp.
A49LF004
Invalid IMSIZE field: If the FWH receives an invalid size
field during a Read or Write operation, the device will reset
and no operation will be attempted. The A49LF004 will not
generate any kind of response in this situation. Invalid size
fields for a Read/Write cycle are anything but 0000b.
detection includes two status bits: Data# Polling (I/O7) and
Toggle Bit (I/O6). The End-of-Write detection mode is
incorporated into the FWH Read cycle. The actual
completion of the nonvolatile write is asynchronous with the
system; therefore, either a Data# Polling or Toggle Bit read
may be simultaneous with the completion of the Write cycle.
If this occurs, the system may possibly get an erroneous
result, i.e., valid data may appear to conflict with either I/O7
or I/O6. In order to prevent spurious rejection, if an erroneous
result occurs, the software routine should include a loop to
read the accessed location an additional two times. If both
reads are valid, then the device has completed the Write
cycle, otherwise the rejection is valid.
Device Memory Hardware Write Protection
The Top Boot Lock (TBL#) and Write Protect (WP#) pins are
provided for hardware write protection of device memory in
the A49LF004. The TBL# pin is used to write protect the top
boot block (64 Kbytes) at the highest flash memory address
range for the A49LF004. WP# pin write protects the
remaining blocks in the flash memory. An active low signal
at the TBL# pin prevents Program and Erase operations of
the top boot block. When TBL# pin is held high, write
protection of the top boot block is then determined by the
Boot Block Locking register. The WP# pin serves the same
function for the remaining blocks of the device memory. The
TBL# and WP# pins write protection functions operate
independently of one another. Both TBL# and WP# pins
must be set to their required protection states prior to
starting a Program or Erase operation. A logic level change
occurring at the TBL# or WP# pin during a Program or Erase
operation could cause unpredictable results. TBL# and WP#
pins cannot be left unconnected. TBL# is internally ORed
with the top Boot Block Locking register. When TBL# is low,
the top Boot Block is hardware write protected regardless of
the state of the Write-Lock bit for the Boot Block Locking
register. Clearing the Write-Lock bit in the register when
TBL# is low will have no functional effect, even though the
register may indicate that the block is no longer locked. WP#
is internally ORed with the Block Locking register. When
WP# is low, the blocks are hardware write protected
regardless of the state of the Write-Lock bit for the
corresponding Block Locking registers. Clearing the WriteLock bit in any register when WP# is low will have no
functional effect, even though the register may indicate that
the block is no longer locked.
Data# Polling (I/O7)
When the A49LF004 device is in the internal Program
operation, any attempt to read I/O7 will produce the
complement of the true data. Once the Program operation is
completed, I/O7 will produce true data. Note that even
though I/O7 may have valid data immediately following the
completion of an internal Write operation, the remaining data
outputs may still be invalid: valid data on the entire data bus
will appear in subsequent successive Read cycles after an
interval of 1 µs. During internal Erase operation, any attempt
to read I/O7 will produce a ‘0’. Once the internal Erase
operation is completed, I/O7 will produce a ‘1’. Proper status
will not be given using Data# Polling if the address is in the
invalid range.
Toggle Bit (I/O6)
During the internal Program or Erase operation, any
consecutive attempts to read I/O6 will produce alternating
‘0’s and ‘1’s, i.e., toggling between 0 and 1. When the
internal Program or Erase operation is completed, the
toggling will stop.
Multiple Device Selection
The four ID pins, ID[3:0], allow multiple devices to be
attached to the same bus by using different ID strapping in a
system. When the A49LF004 is used as a boot device,
ID[3:0] must be strapped as 0000, all subsequent devices
should use a sequential up-count strapping (i.e. 0001, 0010,
0011, etc.). The A49LF004 will compare the strapping
values, if there is a mismatch, the device will ignore the
remainder of the cycle and go into standby mode. For further
information regarding FWH device mapping and paging,
please refer to the Intel 82801(ICH) I/O Controller Hub
documentation. Since there is no ID support in A/A Mux
mode, to program multiple devices a stand-alone PROM
programmer is recommended.
Reset
A VIL on INIT# or RST# pin initiates a device reset. INIT#
and RST# pins have the same function internally. It is
required to drive INIT# or RST# pins low during a system
reset to ensure proper CPU initialization. During a Read
operation, driving INIT# or RST# pins low deselects the
device and places the output drivers, FWH[3:0], in a highimpedance state. The reset signal must be held low for a
minimal duration of time TRSTP. A reset latency will occur if a
reset procedure is performed during a Program or Erase
operation. See Table 16, Reset Timing Parameters for more
information. A device reset during an active Program or
Erase will abort the operation and memory contents may
become invalid due to data being altered or corrupted from
an incomplete Erase or Program operation. In this case, the
device can take up to TRSTE to abort a Program or Erase
operation.

There are three types of registers available on the
A49LF004, the General Purpose Inputs Register, Block
Locking Registers, and the JEDEC ID Registers. These
registers appear at their respective address location in the 4
GByte system memory map. Unused register locations will
read as 00H. Any attempt to read or write any register during
an internal Write operation will be ignored. Refer to Table 4
for the FWH register memory map.
Write Operation Status Detection
The A49LF004 device provides two software means to
detect the completion of a Write (Program or Erase) cycle, in
order to optimize the system Write cycle time. The software

Write-Lock. The Write-Lock Bit determines whether the
contents of the Block can be modified (using the Program or
Erase Command). When the Write-Lock Bit is set to ‘1’, the
block is write protected; any operations that attempt to
change the data in the block will fail and the Status Register
will report the error. When the Write-Lock Bit is reset to ‘0’,
the block is not write protected through the Locking Register
and may be modified unless write protected through some
other means. If Top Block Lock, TBL#, is Low, VIL, then the
Top Block (Block 7) is write protected and cannot be
modified.
Similarly, if Write Protect, WP#, is Low, VIL, then the Main
Blocks (Blocks 0 to 6) are write protected and cannot be
modified. After power-up or reset the Write-Lock Bit is
always set to ‘1’ (write protected).
General Purpose Inputs Register
The GPI_REG (General Purpose Inputs Register) passes
the state of FGPI[4:0] pins at power-up on the A49LF004. It
is recommended that the FGPI[4:0] pins are in the desired
state before FWH4 is brought low for the beginning of the
bus cycle, and remain in that state until the end of the cycle.
There is no default value since this is a pass-through
register. The GPI register for the boot device appears at
FFBC0100H in the 4 GByte system memory map, and will
appear elsewhere if the device is not the boot device.
Register is not available for read when the device is in
Erase/Program operation. See Table 5 for the GPI_REG bits
and function.

Read-Lock. The Read-Lock bit determines whether the
contents of the Block can be read (from Read mode). When
the Read-Lock Bit is set to ‘1’, the block is read protected;
any operation that attempts to read the contents of the block
will
read 00h instead. When the Read-Lock Bit is reset to ‘0’,
read
operations in the Block return the data programmed into the
block as expected. After power-up or reset the Read-Lock
Bit is always reset to ‘0’ (not read protected).

Lock-Down. The Lock-Down Bit provides a mechanism for
protecting software data from simple hacking and malicious
attack. When the Lock-Down Bit is set to ‘1’, further
modification to the Write-Lock, Read-Lock and Lock-Down
Bits cannot be performed. A reset or power-up is required
before changes to these bits can be made. When the LockDown Bit is reset to ‘0’, the Write-Lock, Read-Lock and
Lock-Down Bits can be changed.
Block Locking Registers
A49LF004 provides software controlled lock protection
through a set of Block Locking registers. The Block Locking
Registers are read/write registers and it is accessible
through standard addressable memory locations specified in
Table 6. Unused register locations will read as 00H.

Byte-Program Operation
The A49LF004 device is programmed on a byte-by-byte
basis. Before programming, one must ensure that the block,
in which the byte which is being programmed exists, is fully
erased. The Byte-Program operation is initiated by executing
a four-byte command load sequence for Software Data
Protection with address and data in the last byte sequence.
During the Byte-Program operation, the row address (A10A0) is latched on the falling edge of R/C# and the column
Address (A21-A11) is latched on the rising edge of R/C#.
The data bus is latched in the rising edge of WE#. See
Figure 11 for Program operation timing diagram, Figure 14
for timing waveforms, and Figure 19 for its flowchart. During
the Program operation, the only valid reads are Data#
Polling and Toggle Bit. During the internal Program
operation, the host is free to perform additional tasks. Any
commands written during the internal Program operation will
be ignored.
Device Operation
Commands are used to initiate the memory operation
functions of the device. The data portion of the software
command sequence is latched on the rising edge of WE#.
During the software command sequence the row address is
latched on the falling edge of R/C# and the column address
is latched on the rising edge of R/C#. Refer to Table 7 and
Table 8 for operation modes and the command sequence.
Read
The Read operation of the A49LF004 device is controlled by
OE#. OE# is the output control and is used to gate data from
the output pins. Refer to the Read cycle timing diagram,
Figure 10 for further details.
Reset
A VIL on RST# pin initiates a device reset.

Block-Erase Operation
Data# Polling (I/O7)
The Block-Erase Operation allows the system to erase the
device in 64 KByte uniform block size for the A49LF004. The
Block-Erase operation is initiated by executing a six-byte
command load sequence for Software Data Protection with
Block-Erase command (30H or 50H) and block address. The
internal Block-Erase operation begins after the sixth WE# pulse.
The End-of-Erase can be determined using either Data# Polling
or Toggle Bit methods. See Figure 15 for timing waveforms.
Any commands written during the Block- Erase operation will
be ignored.
When the A49LF004 device is in the internal Program operation,
any attempt to read I/O7 will produce the complement of the
true data. Once the Program operation is completed, I/O7 will
produce true data. Note that even though I/O7 may have valid
data immediately following the completion of an internal Write
operation, the remaining data outputs may still be invalid: valid
data on the entire data bus will appear in subsequent
successive Read cycles after an interval of 1 µs. During internal
Erase operation, any attempt to read I/O7 will produce a ‘0’.
Once the internal Erase operation is completed, I/O7 will
produce a ‘1’. The Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of
fourth WE# pulse for Program operation. For Block- or ChipErase, the Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of sixth
WE# pulse. See Figure 12 for Data# Polling timing diagram.
Proper status will not be given using Data# Polling if the
address is in the invalid range.
Chip-Erase
The A49LF004 device provides a Chip-Erase operation only in
A/A Mux mode, which allows the user to erase the entire
memory array to the ‘1’s state. This is useful when the entire
device must be quickly erased. The Chip-Erase operation is
initiated by executing a six-byte Software Data Protection
command sequence with Chip-Erase command (10H) with
address 5555H in the last byte sequence. The internal Erase
operation begins with the rising edge of the sixth WE#. During
the internal Erase operation, the only valid read is Toggle Bit or
Data# Polling. See Table 8 for the command sequence, Figure
16 for timing diagram, and Figure 21 for the flowchart. Any
commands written during the Chip-Erase operation will be
ignored.
Toggle Bit (I/O6)
During the internal Program or Erase operation, any
consecutive attempts to read I/O6 will produce alternating ‘0’s
and ‘1’s, i.e., toggling between 0 and 1. When the internal
Program or Erase operation is completed, the toggling will stop.
The device is then ready for the next operation. The Toggle Bit
is valid after the rising edge of fourth WE# pulse for Program
operation. For Block- or Chip-Erase, the Toggle Bit is valid after
the rising edge of sixth WE# pulse. See Figure 13 for Toggle Bit
timing diagram.
Write Operation Status Detection
The A49LF004 device provides two software means to detect
the completion of a Write (Program or Erase) cycle, in
order to optimize the system Write cycle time. The software
detection includes two status bits: Data# Polling (I/O7) and
Toggle Bit (I/O6). The End-of-Write detection mode is enabled
after the rising edge of WE# which initiates the internal Program
or Erase operation. The actual completion of the nonvolatile
write is asynchronous with the system; therefore, either a Data#
Polling or Toggle Bit read may be simultaneous with the
completion of the Write cycle. If this occurs, the system may
possibly get an erroneous result, i.e., valid data may appear to
conflict with either I/O7 or I/O6. In order to prevent spurious
rejection, if an erroneous result occurs, the software routine
should include a loop to read the accessed location an
additional two times. If both reads are valid, then the device has
completed the Write cycle, otherwise the rejection is valid.

Data Protection
The A49LF004 device provides both hardware and software
features to protect nonvolatile data from inadvertent writes.
Hardware Data Protection
Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE# pulse of less than 5 ns will not
initiate a Write cycle.
VDD Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is inhibited
when VDD is less than 1.5V.
Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE# low, WE# high will inhibit the
Write operation. This prevents inadvertent writes during powerup or power-down.

Software Data Protection (SDP)
Electrical Specifications
The A49LF004 provides the JEDEC approved Software
Data Protection scheme for all data alteration operation, i.e.,
Program and Erase. Any Program operation requires the
inclusion of a series of three-byte sequences. The three-byte
load sequence is used to initiate the Program operation,
providing optimal protection from inadvertent Write
operations, e.g., during the system power-up or power-down.
Any Erase operation requires the inclusion of a six-byte load
sequence. The A49LF004 device is shipped with the
Software Data Protection permanently enabled. See Table 8
for the specific software command codes. During SDP
command sequence, invalid commands will abort the device
to Read mode, within TRC.
The AC and DC specifications for the FWH Interface signals
(FWH[3:0], CLK, FWH4, and RST#) as defined in Section
4.2.2 of the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.1. Refer to
