GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29L1611G is a 16-mega bit Flash memory
organized as either 1M wordx16 or 2M bytex8. The
MX29L1611G includes 32 sectors of 64KB(65,536 Bytes
or 32,768 words). MXIC's Flash memories offer the most
cost-effective and reliable read/write non-volatile random
access memory. The MX29L1611G is packaged in 42
pin PDIP.
MX29L1611G does require high input voltages for
programming. Commands require 11V input to determine
the operation of the device. Reading data out of the
device is similar to reading from an EPROM.
The standard MX29L1611G offers access times as fast
as 100ns,allowing operation of high-speed
microprocessors without wait. To eliminate bus contention,
the MX29L1611G has separate chip enable CE and,
output enable (OE).
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory contents
even after 100 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
MX29L1611G uses a 11V Vpp supply to perform the
Auto Erase and Auto Program algorithms.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29L1611G uses a command register to manage this
functionality.
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.

WRITE OPERATIONS
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
will only respond to status reads. During a sector/chip
erase cycle, the CIR will respond to status reads. 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.
Device operations are selected by writing commands into
the CIR. Table 3 below defines 16 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.
The manufacturer and device codes may also be read via
the command register, for instances when the
MX29L1611G is erased or programmed in a system
without access to high voltage on the A9 pin. The
command sequence is illustrated in Table 3.
Byte 0 (A0=VIL) represents the manfacturer's code
(MXIC=C2H) and byte 1 (A0=VIH) the device identifier
code (MX29L1611G=F6H).
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.

MX29L1611G / MX29L1611*
READ/RESET COMMAND
command sequence will not start the internal Write State
Machine(WSM), no data will be written to the device.
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.
After three-cycle command sequence is given, a
byte(word) load is performed by applying a low pulse on
the CE input with CE low and OE high. The address is
latched on the falling edge of CE. The data is latched by
the first rising edge of CE. Maximum of 64 words of data
may be loaded into each page by the same procedure as
outlined in the page program section below.
The device will automatically power-up in the read/reset
state. In this case, a command sequence is not required
for "read operation". 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.
PROGRAM
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 MX29L1611G is accessed like an EPROM. When
CE and OE are low 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.
The device is programmed on a page basis. If a word of
data within a page is to be changed, data for the entire
page can be loaded into the device. Any word that is not
loaded during the programming of its page will be still in
the erased state (i.e. FFH). Once the words of a page
are loaded into the device, they are simultaneously
programmed during the internal programming period.
After the first data word has been loaded into the device,
successive words are entered in the same manner. Each
new word to be programmed must have its high to low
transition on CE within 30us of the low to high transition
of CE of the preceding word. A6 to A19 specify the page
address, i.e., the device is page-aligned on 64 words
boundary. The page address must be valid during each
high to low transition of CE. A0 to A5 specify the word
address withih the page. The word may be loaded in any
order; sequential loading is not required. If a high to low
transition of CE 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 Q7 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)
Note that the read/reset command is not valid when
program or erase is in progress.
PAGE READ
The MX29L1611G offers "fast page mode read" function.
The users can take the access time advantage if keeping
CE, OE at low and the same page address (A3~A19
unchanged). Please refer to Figure 5-2 for detailed timing
waveform. The system performance could be enhanced
by initiating 1 normal read and 7 fast page reads(for word
mode A0~A2) or 15 fast page reads(for byte mode
altering A-1~A2).
PAGE PROGRAM
The device is set up in the programming mode when
VPP=11V is applied OE=VIH.
CHIP ERASE
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.
The device is set up in the erase mode when VPP=11V
is applied OE=VIH.
Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two
"unlock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the

MX29L1611G / MX29L1611*
"set-up" command-80H. Two more "unlock" write cycles
are then followed by the chip erase command-10H.
READ STATUS REGISTER
The MXIC's 16 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.
Chip erase does not require the user to program the
device prior to erase.
The automatic erase begins on the rising edge of the last
CE pulse in the command sequence and terminates
when the status on Q7 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 2,6,8)
The status register bits are output on Q3 - Q7(table 6)
whether the device is in the byte-wide (x8) or word-wide
(x16) mode for the MX29L1611G. In the word-wide mode
the upper byte, Q(8:15) is set to 00H during a Read Status
command. In the byte-wide mode, Q(8:14) are tri-stated
and Q15/A-1 retains the low order address function.

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.
................................
1F0000H--1FFFFFH
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
MX29L1611G 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 (Q7, Q6, Q5, Q4) = 1000B. Q3 = 0
or 1 depends on sector-protect status, can not be
changed by Clear Status Register Command or Write
State Machine.
SECTOR ERASE
Sector 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 sector erase command-30H.
The sector address is latched on the falling edge of CE,
while the command (data) is latched on the rising edge of
CE.
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.
The automatic sector erase begins on the rising edge of
the last CE pulse in the command sequence and
terminates when the status on Q7 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 3,4,6,8)

REV. 0.8, JAN. 24, 2002

MX29L1611G / MX29L1611*
CLEAR STATUS REGISTER
The Eraes fail status bit (Q5) and Program fail status bit
(Q4) 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.

MX29L1611G / MX29L1611*
SECTOR PROTECTION
The device remains enabled for read status register
mode until the CIR contents are altered by a valid
command sequence.
To activate this mode, a six-bus cycle operation and
VPP=11V are 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 of the sixth
cycle of the command sequence. The automatic Lock
operation begins on the rising edge of the last CE pulse
in the command sequence and terminates when the
Status on Q7 is '1' at which time the device stays at the
read status register mode.
ABORT MODE
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 Abort mode. So 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 (Q4) or erase fail (Q5)bit will be set.
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 9,11).
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 brought out, Clear
status register mode is required before a program or
erase operation can be executed.
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 XX00H
retrieves the Manufacturer code of C2H. A read cycle
from XX01H returns the Device code F8H. 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 11)
DATA PROTECTION
A few retries are required if Protect status can not be
verified successfully after each operation.
The MX29L1611G 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.
SECTOR UNPROTECT
The device also incorporates several features to prevent
inadvertent write cycles resulting from VCC power-up
and power-down transitions or system noise.
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 CE 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 10,11)

MX29L1611G / MX29L1611*
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(typically 1.8V). 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 will not
initiate a write cycle.
LOGICAL INHIBIT
Writing is inhibited by holding any one of OE = VIL,CE =
VIH. To initiate a write cycle, CE must be a logical zero
while OE is a logical one, and VPP=11V should be
applied.
