GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29F8100 is a 8-mega bit Flash memory organized
as either 512K wordx16 or 1M bytex8. The MX29F8100
includes 8-128KB(131,072) blocks or 8-64KW(65,536)
blocks. MXIC's Flash memories offer the most costeffective and reliable read/write non-volatile random
access memory. The MX29F8100 is packaged in 48-pin
TSOP or 44-pin SOP. For 48-pin TSOP, CE2 and RY/BY
are extra pins compared with 44-pin SOP package. This
is to optimize the products (such as solid-state disk drives
or flash memory cards) control pin budget. PWD is
available in 48 -pin TSOP for low power environment. All
the above three pins(CE2,RY/BY and PWD) plus one
extra VCC pin are not provided in 44-pin SOP. It is
designed to be reprogrammed and erased in-system or
in-standard EPROM programmers.
To allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the
MX29F8100 does not require high input voltages for
programming. Five-volt-only commands determine the
operation of the device. Reading data out of the device
is similar to reading from an EPROM.
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory contents
even after 10,000 cycles. The MXIC's cell is designed to
optimize the erase and programming mechanisms. In
addition, the combination of advanced tunnel oxide
processing and low internal electric fields for erase and
programming operations produces reliable cycling. The
MX29F8100 uses a 5V ± 10% VCC supply to perform the
Auto Erase and Auto Program algorithms.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process. Latch-up
protection is proved for stresses up to 100 milliamps on
address and data pin from -1V to VCC +1V.
The standard MX29F8100 offers access times as fast as
100ns,allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors
without wait. To eliminate bus contention, the
MX29F8100 has separate chip enables(CE1 and CE2),
output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29F8100 uses a command register to manage this
functionality. The command register allows for 100% TTL
level control inputs and fixed power supply levels during
erase and programming, while maintaining maximum
EPROM compatibility.

NAME AND FUNCTION
ADDRESS INPUTS: for memory addresses. Addresses are internally latched
during a write cycle, A19 don't care.(hard wired to VCC or GND is suggested)
LOW-BYTE DATA BUS: Input data and commands during Command Interface
Register(CIR) write cycles. Outputs array,status and identifier data in the
appropriate read mode. Floated when the chip is de-selected or the outputs are
disabled.
HIGH-BYTE DATA BUS: Inputs data during x 16 Data-Write operations. Outputs
array, identifier data in the appropriate read mode; not used for status register
reads. Floated when the chip is de-selected or the outputs are disabled
Selects between high-byte data INPUT/OUTPUT(BYTE = HIGH) and LSB
ADDRESS(BYTE = LOW)
CHIP ENABLE INPUTS: Activate the device's control logic, Input buffers,
decoders and sense amplifiers. With either CE1 or CE2 high, the device is deselected and power consumption reduces to Standby level upon completion of
any current program or erase operations. Both CE1,CE2 must be low to
select the device. CE2 is not provided in 44-pin SOP package.
All timing specifications are the same for both signals. Device selection occurs
with the latter falling edge of CE1 or CE2. The first rising edge of CE1 or CE2
disables the device.
POWER-DOWN: Puts the device in deep power-down mode. PWD is active low;
PWD high gates normal operation. PWD also locks out erase or program
operation when active low providing data protection during power transitions.
OUTPUT ENABLES: Gates the device's data through the output buffers during
a read cycle OE is active low.
WRITE ENABLE: Controls writes to the Command Interface Register(CIR).
WE is active low.
READY/BUSY: Indicates the status of the internal Write State Machine(WSM).
When low it indicates that the WSM is performing a erase or program operation.
RY/BY high indicate that the WSM is ready for new commands, sector erase is
suspended or the device is in deep power-down mode. RY/BY is always active
and does not float to tristate off when the chip is deselected or data output are
disabled.
WRITE PROTECT: Top or Bottom sector can be protected by writing a nonvolatile protect-bit for each sector. When WP is high, all sectors can be
programmed or erased regardless of the state of the protect-bits. The WP input
buffer is disabled when PWD transitions low(deep power-down mode).
BYTE ENABLE: BYTE Low places device in x8 mode. All data is then input or
output on Q0-7 and Q8-14 float. AddressQ15/A-1 selects between the high
and low byte. BYTE high places the device in x16 mode, and turns off the Q15/
A-1 input buffer. Address A0, then becomes the lowest order address.

NOTES :
1.X can be VIH or VIL for address or control pins except for RY/BY which is either VOL orVOH.
2.RY/BY output is open drain. When the WSM is ready, Erase is suspended or the device is in deep power-down mode, RY/BY will be at VOH
if it is tied to VCC through a 1K ~ 100K resistor. When the RY/BY at VOH is independent of OE while a WSM operation is in progress.
3.PWD at GND ± 0.2V ensures the lowest deep power-down current.
4. A0 and A1 at VIL provide manufacturer ID codes. A0 at VIH and A1 at VIL provide device ID codes. A0 at VIL, A1 at VIH and with appropriate
sector addresses provide Sector Protect Code.(Refer to Table 4)
5. Commands for different Erase operations, Data program operations or Sector Protect operations can only be successfully completed through
proper command sequence.
6.While the WSM is running. RY/BY in Level-Mode stays at VOL until all operations are complete. RY/BY goes to VOH when the WSM is not
busy or in erase suspend mode.
7. RY/BY may be at VOL while the WSM is busy performing various operations. For example, a status register read during a write operation.
8. VID = 11.5V- 12.5V.
9. Q15/A-1 = VIL, Q0 - Q7 =D0-D7 out . Q15/A-1 = VIH, Q0 - Q7 = D8 -D15 out.

WRITE OPERATIONS
will only respond to status reads. During a sector/chip
erase cycle, the CIR will respond to status reads and
erase suspend. After the write state machine has
completed its task, it will allow the CIR to respond to its full
command set. The CIR stays at read status register
mode until the microprocessor issues another valid
command sequence.
Commands are written to the COMMAND INTERFACE
REGISTER (CIR) using standard microprocessor write
timings. The CIR serves as the interface between the
microprocessor and the internal chip operation. The CIR
can decipher Read Array, Read Silicon ID, Erase and
Program command. In the event of a read command, the
CIR simply points the read path at either the array or the
silicon ID, depending on the specific read command
given. For a program or erase cycle, the CIR informs the
write state machine that a program or erase has been
requested. During a program cycle, the write state
machine will control the program sequences and the CIR
Device operations are selected by writing commands into
the CIR. Table 3 below defines 8 Mbit flash family
command.

DEVICE OPERATION
SILICON ID READ
The Silicon ID Read mode allows the reading out of a
binary code from the device and will identify its
manufacturer and type. This mode is intended for use by
programming equipment for the purpose of automatically
matching the device to be programmed with its
corresponding programming algorithm. This mode is
functional over the entire temperature range of the
device.
MX29F8100 is erased or programmed in a system
without access to high voltage on the A9 pin. The
command sequence is illustrated in Table 3.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment must
force VID (11.5V~12.5V) on address pin A9. Two
identifier bytes may then be sequenced from the device
outputs by toggling address A0 from VIL to VIH. All
addresses are don't cares except A0 and A1.
To terminate the operation, it is necessary to write the
read/reset command sequence into the CIR.
Byte 0 (A0=VIL) represents the manfacturer's code
(MXIC=C2H) and byte 1 (A0=VIH) the device identifier
code (MX29F8100=88H).
The manufacturer and device codes may also be read via
the command register, for instances when the

READ/RESET COMMAND
BYTE-WIDE LOAD/WORD-WIDE LOAD
The read or reset operation is initiated by writing the read/
reset command sequence into the command register.
Microprocessor read cycles retrieve array data from the
memory. The device remains enabled for reads until the
CIR contents are altered by a valid command sequence.
Byte(word) loads are used to enter the 128 bytes(64
words) of a page to be programmed or the software codes
for data protection. A byte load(word load) is performed
by applying a low pulse on the WE or CE input with CE or
WE low (respectively) and OE high. The address is
latched on the falling edge of CE or WE, whichever occurs
last. The data is latched by the first rising edge of CE or
WE.
The device will automatically power-up in the read/reset
state. In this case, a command sequence is not required
to read data. Standard microprocessor read cycles will
retrieve array data. This default value ensures that no
spurious alteration of the memory content occurs during
the power transition. Refer to the AC Read
Characteristics and Waveforms for the specific timing
parameters.
Either byte-wide load or word-wide load is
determined(Byte = VIL or VIH is latched) on the falling
edge of the WE(or CE) during the 3rd command write
cycle.
PROGRAM
The MX29F8100 is accessed like an EPROM. When CE
and OE are low and WE is high the data stored at the
memory location determined by the address pins is
asserted on the outputs. The outputs are put in the high
impedance state whenever CE or OE is high. This dual
line control gives designers flexibility in preventing bus
contention.
Any page to be programmed should have the page in the
erased state first, i.e. performing sector erase is
suggested before page programming can be performed.
The device is programmed on a page basis. If a
byte(word) of data within a page is to be changed, data for
the entire page can be loaded into the device. Any
byte(word) that is not loaded during the programming of
its page will be still in the erased state (i.e. FFH). Once
the bytes of a page are loaded into the device, they are
simultaneously programmed during the internal
programming period. After the first data byte(word) has
been loaded into the device, successive bytes(words)
are entered in the same manner. Each new byte(word)
to be programmed must have its high to low transition on
WE (or CE) within 30us of the low to high transition of WE
(or CE) of the preceding byte(word). A6 to A18 specify
the page address, i.e., the device is page-aligned on 128
bytes(64 words)boundary. The page address must be
valid during each high to low transition of WE or CE. A-1
to A5 specify the byte address within the page, A0 to A5
specify the word address withih the page. The
byte(word) may be loaded in any order; sequential
loading is not required. If a high to low transition of CE or
WE is not detected whithin 100us of the last low to high
transition, the load period will end and the internal
programming period will start. The Auto page program
terminates when status on DQ7 is '1' at which time the
device stays at read status register mode until the CIR
contents are altered by a valid command
sequence.(Refer to table 3,6 and Figure 1,7,8)
CE stands for the combination of CE1 and CE2 in 48-pin
TSOP package. CE stands for CE1 in 44-pin SOP
package.
Note that the read/reset command is not valid when
program or erase is in progress.
PAGE PROGRAM
To initiate Page program mode, a three-cycle command
sequence is required. There are two " unlock" write
cycles. These are followed by writing the page program
command-A0H.
Any attempt to write to the device without the three-cycle
command sequence will not start the internal Write State
Machine(WSM), no data will be written to the device.
After three-cycle command sequence is given, a
byte(word) load is performed by applying a low pulse on
the WE or CE input with CE or WE low (respectively) and
OE high. The address is latched on the falling edge of CE
or WE, whichever occurs last. The data is latched by the
first rising edge of CE or WE. Maximum of 128 bytes of
data may be loaded into each page by the same
procedure as outlined in the page program section below.

Sector erase does not require the user to program the
device prior to erase. The system is not required to
provide any controls or timings during these operations.
CHIP ERASE
Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two
"unlock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the
"set-up" command-80H. Two more "unlock" write cycles
are then followed by the chip erase command-10H.
The automatic sector erase begins on the rising edge of
the last WE pulse in the command sequence and
terminates when the status on DQ7 is "1" at which time
the device stays at read status register mode. The device
remains enabled for read status register mode until the
CIR contents are altered by a valid command
sequence.(Refer to table 3,6 and Figure 3,4,7,9))

ERASE SUSPEND
This command only has meaning while the the WSM is
executing SECTOR or CHIP erase operation, and
therefore will only be responded to during SECTOR or
CHIP erase operation. After this command has been
executed, the CIR will initiate the WSM to suspend erase
operations, and then return to Read Status Register
mode. The WSM will set the DQ6 bit to a "1". Once the
WSM has reached the Suspend state,the WSM will set
the DQ7 bit to a "1", At this time, WSM allows the CIR to
respond to the Read Array, Read Status Register, Abort
and Erase Resume commands only. In this mode, the
CIR will not resopnd to any other comands. The WSM will
continue to run, idling in the SUSPEND state, regardless
of the state of all input control pins, with the exclusion of
PWD. PWD low will immediately shut down the WSM and
the remainder of the chip.

READ STATUS REGISTER
CLEAR STATUS REGISTER
The MXIC's 8 Mbit flash family contains a status register
which may be read to determine when a program or erase
operation is complete, and whether that operation
completed successfully. The status register may be read
at any time by writing the Read Status command to the
CIR. After writing this command, all subsequent read
operations output data from the status register until
another valid command sequence is written to the CIR. A
Read Array command must be written to the CIR to return
to the Read Array mode.
The Eraes fail status bit (DQ5) and Program fail status bit
(DQ4) are set by the write state machine, and can only be
reset by the system software. These bits can indicate
various failure conditions(see Table 6). By allowing the
system software to control the resetting of these bits,
several operations may be performed (such as
cumulatively programming several pages or erasing
multiple blocks in squence). The status register may then
be read to determine if an error occurred during that
programming or erasure series. This adds flexibility to the
way the device may be programmed or erased.
Additionally, once the program(erase) fail bit happens,
the program (erase) operation can not be performed
further. The program(erase) fail bit must be reset by
system software before further page program or sector
(chip) erase are attempted. To clear the status register,
the Clear Status Register command is written to the CIR.
Then, any other command may be issued to the CIR.
Note again that before a read cycle can be initiated, a
Read command must be written to the CIR to specify
whether the read data is to come from the Array, Status
Register or Silicon ID.
The status register bits are output on DQ2 - DQ7(table 6)
whether the device is in the byte-wide (x8) or word-wide
(x16) mode for the MX29F8100. In the word-wide mode
the upper byte, DQ(8:15) is set to 00H during a Read
Status command. In the byte-wide mode, DQ(8:14) are
tri-stated and DQ15/A-1 retains the low order address
function. DQ0-DQ1 is set to 0H in either x8 or x16 mode.
It should be noted that the contents of the status register
are latched on the falling edge of OE or CE whichever
occurs last in the read cycle. This prevents possible bus
errors which might occur if the contents of the status
register change while reading the status register. CE or
OE must be toggled with each subsequent status read, or
the completion of a program or erase operation will not be
evident.
The Status Register is the interface between the
microprocessor and the Write State Machine (WSM).
When the WSM is active, this register will indicate the
status of the WSM, and will also hold the bits indicating
whether or not the WSM was successful in performing the
desired operation. The WSM sets status bits four through
seven and clears bits six and seven, but cannot clear
status bits four and five. If Erase fail or Program fail status
bit is detected, the Status Register is not cleared until the
Clear Status Register command is written. The
MX29F8100 automatically outputs Status Register data
when read after Chip Erase, Sector Erase, Page Program
or Read Status Command write cycle. The default state
of the Status Register after powerup and return from deep
power-down mode is (DQ7, DQ6, DQ5, DQ4) = 1000B.
DQ3 = 0 or 1 depends on sector-protect status, can not be
changed by Clear Status Register Command or Write
State Machine. DQ2 = 0 or 1 depends on Sleep status,
During Sleep mode or Abort mode DQ2 is set to "1"; DQ2
is reset to "0" by Read Array command.

It is also possible to unprotect the sector , same as the first
five write command cycles in activating sector protection
mode followed by the Unprotect Sector command - 40H,
the automatic Unprotect operation begins on the rising
edge of the last WE pulse in the command sequence and
terminates when the Status on DQ7 is '1' at which time the
device stays at the read status register mode.(Refer to
table 3,6 and Figure 11,12)
HARDWARE SECTOR PROTECTION
The MX29F8100 features sector protection. This feature
will disable both program and erase operations in either
the top or the bottom sector (0 or 7). The sector protection
feature is enabled using system software by the
user(Refer to table 3). The device is shipped with both
sectors unprotected. Alternatively, MXIC may protect
sectors in the factory prior to shipping the device.
The device remains enabled for read status register
mode until the CIR contents are altered by a valid
command sequence.
SECTOR PROTECTION
Either Protect or Unprotect sector mode is accomplished
by keeping WP high, i.e. protect-bit status can only be
changed with a valid command sequence and WP at high.
When WP is high, all sectors can be programmed or
erased regardless of the state of the protect-bits. Protectbit status will not be changed during chip/sector erase
operations. With WP at VIL, only unprotected sectors
can be programmed or erased.
To activate this mode, a six-bus cycle operation is
required. There are two 'unlock' write cycles. These are
followed by writing the 'set-up' command. Two more
'unlock' write cycles are then followed by the Lock Sector
command - 20H. Sector address is latched on the falling
edge of CE or WE of the sixth cycle of the command
sequence. The automatic Lock operation begins on the
rising edge of the last WE pulse in the command
sequence and terminates when the Status on DQ7 is '1'
at which time the device stays at the read status register
mode.
DEEP POWER-DOWN MODE
The device remains enabled for read status register
mode until the CIR contents are altered by a valid
command sequence (Refer to table 3,6 and Figure 10,12
).
The MXIC's 8Mbit flash family supports a typical ICC of
1uA in deep power-down mode. One of the target markets
for these devices is in protable equipment where the
power consumption of the machine is of prime
importance. When PWD is a logic low (GND ± 0.2V), all
circuits are turned off and the device typically draws 1uA
of ICC current.
VERIFY SECTOR PROTECT
To verify the Protect status of the Top and the Bottom
sector, operation is initiated by writing Silicon ID read
command into the command register. Following the
command write, a read cycle from address XXX0H
retrieves the Manufacturer code of C2H. A read cycle
from XXX1H returns the Device code 88H. A read cycle
from appropriate address returns information as to which
sectors are protected. To terminate the operation, it is
necessary to write the read/reset command sequence
into the CIR.
(Refer to table 3,4 and Figure 12)
During read modes, the PWD pin going low deselects the
memory and places the output drivers in a high
impedance state. Recovery from the deep power-down
state, requires a minimum of 700 nanoseconds to access
valid data.
During erase or program modes, PWD low will abort
either erase or program operation. The contents of the
memory are no longer valid as the data has been
corrupted by the PWD function. As in the read mode
above, all internal circuitry is turned off to achieve the 1uA
current level.
A few retries are required if Protect status can not be
verified successfully after each operation.
PWD transitions to VIL or turning power off to the device
will clear the status register.
SECTOR UNPROTECT
PWD pin is not provided in 44-pin SOP package.

SLEEP MODE
The MX29F8100 features two software controlled lowpower modes : Sleep and Abort modes. Sleep mode is
allowed during any current operations except that once
Suspend command is issued, Sleep command is ignored.
Abort mode is excuted only during Page Program and
Chip/Sector Erase mode.
same level as in deep power-down or sleep modes.
Device stays at read status register mode, RY/BY returns
to ready state.
During Abort mode, the status registers, Silicon ID codes
remain valid and can still be read. The Device Sleep
Status bit - DQ2 will indicate that the device in the sleep
mode.
To activate Sleep mode, a three-bus cycle operation is
required. The C0H command (Refer to table 3) puts the
device in the Sleep mode. Once in the Sleep mode and
with CMOS input level applied, the power of the device is
reduced to deep power-down current levels. The only
power consumed is diffusion leakage, transistor subthreshold conduction, input leakage, and output leakage.
Similar to the sleep mode, A read array command MUST
be written to bring the device out of the abort state without
incurring any wake up latency. Note that once device is
waken up, Clear status register mode is required before
a program or erase operation can be executed.
The Sleep command allows the device to COMPLETE
current operations before going into Sleep mode. Once
current operation is done, device stays at read status
register mode, RY/BY returns to ready state. The status
registers are not reset during sleep command. Program
or erase fail bit may have been set if during program/
erase mode the device retry exceeds maximum count.
RY/BY PIN
POLLING
AND
PROGRAM/ERASE
RY/BY is a full CMOS output that provides a hardware
method of detecting page program and sector erase
completion. It transitions to VIL after a program or erase
command sequence is written to the MX29F8100, and
returns to VOH when the WSM has finished executing the
internal algorithm.
During Sleep mode, the status registers, Silicon ID codes
remain valid and can still be read. The Device Sleep
Status bit - DQ2 will indicate that the device in the sleep
mode.
Writing the Read Array command wakes up the device
out of sleep mode. DQ2 is reset to "0" and Device returns
to standby current level.
RY/BY can be connected to the interrupt input of the
system CPU or controller. It is active at all times, not
tristated if the CE or OE inputs are brought to VIH. RY/
BY is also VOH when the device is in erase suspend or
deep power-down modes.
ABORT MODE
RY/BY pin is not provided in 44-pin SOP package.
To activate Abort mode, a three-bus cycle operation is
required. The E0H command (Refer to table 3) only stops
Page program or Sector /Chip erase operation currently
in progress and puts the device in Sleep mode. But unlike
the sleep command, the program or erase operation will
not be completed. Since the data in some page/sectors
is no longer valid due to an incomplete program or erase
operation, the program fail (DQ4) or erase fail (DQ5)bit
will be set.
DATA PROTECTION
The MX29F8100 is designed to offer protection against
accidental erasure or programming caused by spurious
system level signals that may exist during power
transitions. During power up the device automatically
resets the internal state machine in the Read Array mode.
Also, with its control register architecture, alteration of the
memory contents only occurs after successful
completion of specific multi-bus cycle command
sequences.
After the abort command is executed and with CMOS
input level applied, the device current is reduced to the
The device also incorporates several features to prevent
inadvertent write cycles resulting from VCC power-up
and power-down transitions or system noise.

LOW VCC WRITE INHIBIT
To avoid initiation of a write cycle during VCC power-up
and power-down, a write cycle is locked out for VCC less
than VLKO(= 3.2V , typically 3.5V). If VCC < VLKO, the
command register is disabled and all internal program/
erase circuits are disabled. Under this condition the
device will reset to the read mode. Subsequent writes will
be ignored until the VCC level is greater than VLKO. It is
the user's responsibility to ensure that the control pins are
logically correct to prevent unintentional write when VCC
is above VLKO.
WRITE PULSE "GLITCH" PROTECTION
Noise pulses of less than 10ns (typical) on CE or WE will
not initiate a write cycle.
LOGICAL INHIBIT
Writing is 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.

NOTES:
1. All currents are in RMS unless otherwise noted. Typical values at VCC = 5.0V, T = 25°C. These currents are valid for all product
versions (package and speeds).
2. ICC3 is specified with the device de-selected. If the device is read while in erase suspend mode, current draw is the sum of ICC3
and ICC1/2.
3. VIL min. = -1.0V for pulse width < 50ns.
VIL min. = -2.0V for pulse width < 20ns.
4. VIH max. = VCC + 1.5V for pulse width < 20ns. If VIH is over the specified maximum value, read operation cannot be guaranteed.
