128Mb 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash
General Description
General Description
The M29W is an asynchronous, uniform block, parallel NOR Flash memory device manufactured on 90nm single-level cell (SLC) technology. READ, ERASE, and PROGRAM operations are performed using a single low-voltage supply. Upon power-up, the device
defaults to read array mode.
The main memory array is divided into uniform blocks that can be erased independently so that valid data can be preserved while old data is purged. PROGRAM and ERASE
commands are written to the command interface of the memory. An on-chip program/
erase controller simplifies the process of programming or erasing the memory by taking
care of all special operations required to update the memory contents. The end of a
PROGRAM or ERASE operation can be detected and any error condition can be identified. The command set required to control the device is consistent with JEDEC standards.
CE#, OE#, and WE# control the bus operation of the device and enable a simple connection to most microprocessors, often without additional logic.
The M29W supports asynchronous random read and page read from all blocks of the
array. It features a write to buffer program capability that improves throughput by programming a buffer of 32 words in one command sequence. Also, in x16 mode, the enhanced buffered program capability improves throughput by programming 256 words
in one command sequence. The device V PP/WP# signal enables faster programming.
The device contains a 128-word (x16) and 256-byte (x8) extended memory block. The
user can program this additional space and then protect it to permanently secure the
contents. The device also features different levels of hardware and software protection
to secure blocks from unwanted modification.

Signal Descriptions
Signal Descriptions
The signal description table below is a comprehensive list of signals for this device family. All signals listed may not be supported on this device. See Signal Assignments for information specific to this device.
Table 2: Signal Descriptions
Name
Type
Description
A[MAX:0]
Input
Address: Selects the cells in the array to access during READ operations. During WRITE operations, they control the commands sent to the command interface of the program/erase controller.
CE#
Input
Chip enable: Activates the device, enabling READ and WRITE operations to be performed.
When CE# is HIGH, the device goes to standby and data outputs are at HIGH-Z.
OE#
Input
Output enable: Controls the bus READ operation.
WE#
Input
Write enable: Controls the bus WRITE operation of the command interface.
VPP/WP#
Input
VPP/Write Protect: Provides WRITE PROTECT function and VPPH function. These functions
protect the lowest or highest block and enable the device to enter unlock bypass mode, respectively. (Refer to Hardware Protection and Bypass Operations for details.)
BYTE#
Input
Byte/word organization select: Switches between x8 and x16 bus modes. When BYTE# is
LOW, the device is in x8 mode; when HIGH, the device is in x16 mode.
RST#
Input
Reset: Applies a hardware reset to the device, which is achieved by holding RST# LOW for at
least tPLPX. After RST# goes HIGH, the device is ready for READ and WRITE operations (after
tPHEL or tRHEL, whichever occurs last). See RESET AC Specifications for more details.
DQ[7:0]
I/O
Data I/O: Outputs the data stored at the selected address during a READ operation. During
WRITE operations, they represent the commands sent to the command interface of the internal state machine.
DQ[14:8]
I/O
Data I/O: Outputs the data stored at the selected address during a READ operation when
BYTE# is HIGH. When BYTE# is LOW, these pins are not used and are High-Z. During WRITE
operations, these bits are not used. When reading the status register, these bits should be ignored.
DQ15/A-1
I/O
Data I/O or address input: When the device operates in x16 bus mode, this pin behaves as
data I/O, together with DQ[14:8]. When the device operates in x8 bus mode, this pin behaves
as the least significant bit of the address.
Except where stated explicitly otherwise, DQ15 = data I/O (x16 mode); A-1 = address input (x8
mode).
RY/BY#
Output
Ready busy: Open-drain output that can be used to identify when the device is performing
a PROGRAM or ERASE operation. During PROGRAM or ERASE operations, RY/BY# is LOW,
and is High-Z during read mode, auto select mode, and erase suspend mode. After a hardware reset, READ and WRITE operations cannot begin until RY/BY# goes High-Z (see RESET
AC Specifications for more details).
The use of an open-drain output enables the RY/BY# pins from several devices to be connected to a single pull-up resistor to VCCQ. A low value will then indicate that one (
or more) of the devices is (are) busy. A 10K Ohm or bigger resistor is recommended as pull-up
resistor to achieve 0.1V VOL.

Memory Organization
Table 2: Signal Descriptions (Continued)
Name
Type
VCC
Supply
Description
Supply voltage: Provides the power supply for READ, PROGRAM, and ERASE operations.
The command interface is disabled when VCC <= VLKO. This prevents WRITE operations from
accidentally damaging the data during power-up, power-down, and power surges. If the program/erase controller is programming or erasing during this time, then the operation aborts
and the contents being altered will be invalid.
A 0.1μF capacitor should be connected between VCC and VSS to decouple the current surges
from the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry the currents required
during PROGRAM and ERASE operations (see DC Characteristics).
VCCQ
Supply
I/O supply voltage: Provides the power supply to the I/O pins and enables all outputs to be
powered independently from VCC.
VSS
Supply
Ground: All VSS pins must be connected to the system ground.

Notes:
Data
1. Typical glitches of less than 5ns on CE#, WE#, and RST# are ignored by the device and do
not affect bus operations.
2. H = Logic level HIGH (VIH); L = Logic level LOW (VIL); X = HIGH or LOW.
3. If WP# is LOW, then the highest or the lowest block remains protected, depending on
line item.
4. Data input is required when issuing a command sequence or when performing data
polling or block protection.
Read
Bus READ operations read from the memory cells, registers, or CFI space. To accelerate
the READ operation, the memory array can be read in page mode where data is internally read and stored in a page buffer.
The page size is 8 words (16 bytes) and is addressed by address inputs A[2:0] in x16 bus
mode and A[2:0] plus DQ15/A-1 in x8 bus mode. The extended memory blocks and CFI
area do not support page read mode.
A valid READ operation requires setting the appropriate address on the address inputs,
taking CE# and OE# LOW, and holding WE# HIGH. Data I/O signals output the value.
Write
Bus WRITE operations write to the command interface. A valid WRITE operation requires setting the appropriate address on the address inputs. These are latched by the
command interface on the falling edge of CE# or WE#, whichever occurs last. Values on
data I/O signals are latched by the command interface on the rising edge of CE# or
WE#, whichever occurs first. OE# must remain HIGH during the entire operation.
Standby and Automatic Standby
When the device is in read mode, driving CE# HIGH places the device in standby mode
and drives data I/Os to High-Z. Supply current is reduced to standby (ICC2) by holding
CE# within V CC ±0.3V.
During PROGRAM or ERASE operations, the device continues to use the program/erase
supply current (ICC3) until the operation completes.

Bus Operations
Automatic standby enables low power consumption during read mode. When CMOS
levels (VCC ± 0.3 V) drive the bus, and following a READ operation and a period of inactivity specified in DC Characteristics, the memory enters automatic standby as internal
supply current is reduced to ICC2. Data I/O signals still output data if a READ operation
is in progress. Depending on load circuits connected with data bus, V CCQ can have a
null consumption when the memory enters automatic standby.
Output Disable
Data I/Os are High-Z when OE# is HIGH.
Reset
During reset mode, the device is deselected, and outputs are High-Z. The device is in
reset mode when RST# is LOW. Power consumption is reduced to standby level independently from CE#, OE#, or WE# inputs.

1. The status register can be read during PROGRAM, ERASE, or ERASE SUSPEND operations;
the READ operation outputs data on DQ[7:0].
2. For a PROGRAM operation in progress, DQ7 outputs the complement of the bit being
programmed. For a READ operation from the address previously programmed successfully, DQ7 outputs existing DQ7 data. For a READ operation from addresses with blocks
to be erased while an ERASE SUSPEND operation is in progress, DQ7 outputs 0; upon
successful completion of the ERASE SUSPEND operation, DQ7 outputs 1. For an ERASE
operation in progress, DQ7 outputs 0; upon either operation's successful completion,
DQ7 outputs 1.
3. After successful completion of a PROGRAM or ERASE operation, the device returns to
read mode.
4. During erase suspend mode, READ operations to addresses within blocks not being
erased output memory array data as if in read mode. A protected block is treated the
same as a block not being erased. See the Toggle Flowchart for more information.
5. During erase suspend mode, DQ6 toggles when addressing a cell within a block being
erased. The toggling stops when the program/erase controller has suspended the ERASE
operation. See the Toggle Flowchart for more information.
6. When DQ5 is set to 1, a READ/RESET command must be issued before any subsequent
command.

BLOCK ERASE address cycles can extend beyond six address-data cycles, depending on
the number of blocks to erase.
READ Operations
READ/RESET Command
The READ/RESET (F0h) command returns the device to read mode and resets the errors
in the status register. One or three bus WRITE operations can be used to issue the
READ/RESET command.
To return the device to read mode, this command can be issued between bus WRITE
cycles before the start of a PROGRAM or ERASE operation. If the READ/RESET command is issued during the timeout of a BLOCK ERASE operation, the device requires up
to 10μs to abort, during which time no valid data can be read.
READ CFI Command
The READ CFI (98h) command puts the device in read CFI mode and is valid only when
the device is in read array or auto select mode. One bus WRITE cycle is required to issue
the command.
Once in read CFI mode, bus READ operations will output data from the CFI memory
area. A READ/RESET command must be issued to return the device to the previous
mode (read array or auto select ). A second READ/RESET command is required to put
the device in read array mode from auto select mode.

AUTO SELECT Operations
AUTO SELECT Operations
AUTO SELECT Command
At power-up or after a hardware reset, the device is in read mode. It can then be put in
auto select mode by issuing an AUTO SELECT (90h) command or by applying V ID to A9.
Auto select mode enables the following device information to be read:
• Electronic signature, which includes manufacturer and device code information, as
shown in the Electronic Signature table.
• Block protection, which includes the block protection status and extended memory
block protection indicator, as shown in the Block Protection table.
Electronic signature or block protection information is read by executing a READ operation with control signals and addresses set, as shown in the Read Electronic Signature
table or the Block Protection table, respectively.
Auto select mode can be used by the programming equipment to automatically match a
device with the application code to be programmed.
Three consecutive bus WRITE operations are required to issue an AUTO SELECT command. The device remains in auto select mode until a READ/RESET or READ CFI command is issued.
The device cannot enter auto select mode when a PROGRAM or ERASE operation is in
progress (RY/BY# LOW). However, auto select mode can be entered if the PROGRAM or
ERASE operation has been suspended by issuing a PROGRAM SUSPEND or ERASE SUSPEND command.
To enter auto select mode by appling V ID to A9, see the Read Electronic Signature table
and the Block Protection table.
Auto select mode is exited by performing a reset. The device returns to read mode unless it entered auto select mode after an ERASE SUSPEND or PROGRAM SUSPEND
command, in which case it returns to erase or program suspend mode.

Bypass Operations
Bypass Operations
UNLOCK BYPASS Command
The UNLOCK BYPASS (20h) command is used to place the device in unlock bypass
mode. Three bus WRITE operations are required to issue the UNLOCK BYPASS command.
When the device enters unlock bypass mode, the two initial UNLOCK cycles required
for a standard PROGRAM or ERASE operation are not needed, thus enabling faster total
program or erase time.
The UNLOCK BYPASS command is used in conjunction with UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM or UNLOCK BYPASS ERASE commands to program or erase the device faster
than with standard PROGRAM or ERASE commands. Using these commands can save
considerable time when the cycle time to the device is long. When in unlock bypass
mode, only the following commands are valid:
• The UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM command can be issued to program addresses
within the device.
• The UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE command can then be issued to erase one or
more memory blocks.
• The UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE command can be issued to erase the whole memory array.
• The UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM and UNLOCK BYPASS ENHANCED WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM commands can be issued to speed up the
programming operation.
• The UNLOCK BYPASS RESET command can be issued to return the device to read
mode.
In unlock bypass mode, the device can be read as if in read mode.
In addition to the UNLOCK BYPASS command, when V PP/WP# is raised to V PPH, the device automatically enters unlock bypass mode. When V PP/WP# returns to V IH or V IL, the
device is no longer in unlock bypass mode, and normal operation resumes. The transitions from V IH to V PPH and from V PPH to V IH must be slower than tVHVPP. (See the Accelerated Program, Data Polling/Toggle AC Characteristics.)
Note: Micron recommends entering and exiting unlock bypass mode using the ENTER
UNLOCK BYPASS and UNLOCK BYPASS RESET commands rather than raising V PP/WP#
to V PPH. V PP/WP# should never be raised to V PPH from any mode except read mode; otherwise, the device may be left in an indeterminate state. V PP/WP# should not remain at
VPPH for than 80 hours cumulative.
UNLOCK BYPASS RESET Command
The UNLOCK BYPASS RESET (90/00h) command is used to return to read/reset mode
from unlock bypass mode. Two bus WRITE operations are required to issue the UNLOCK BYPASS RESET command. The READ/RESET command does not exit from unlock bypass mode.

Program Operations
Program Operations
PROGRAM Command
The PROGRAM (A0h) command can be used to program a value to one address in the
memory array. The command requires four bus WRITE operations, and the final WRITE
operation latches the address and data in the internal state machine and starts the program/erase controller. After programming has started, bus READ operations output the
status register content.
Programming can be suspended and then resumed by issuing a PROGRAM SUSPEND
command and a PROGRAM RESUME command, respectively.
If the address falls in a protected block, the PROGRAM command is ignored, and the
data remains unchanged. The status register is not read, and no error condition is given.
After the PROGRAM operation has completed, the device returns to read mode, unless
an error has occurred. When an error occurs, bus READ operations to the device continue to output the status register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the
error condition and return the device to read mode.
The PROGRAM command cannot change a bit set to 0 back to 1, and an attempt to do
so is masked during a PROGRAM operation. Instead, an ERASE command must be used
to set all bits in one memory block or in the entire memory from 0 to 1.
The PROGRAM operation is aborted by performing a reset or by powering-down the device. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that the
words or bytes that were aborted be reprogrammed.
UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM (A0h)
command can be used to program one address in the memory array. The command requires two bus WRITE operations instead of four required by a standard PROGRAM
command; the final WRITE operation latches the address and data and starts the program/erase controller (The standard PROGRAM command requires four bus WRITE operations). The PROGRAM operation using the UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM command
behaves identically to the PROGRAM operation using the PROGRAM command. The
operation cannot be aborted. A bus READ operation to the memory outputs the status
register.
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM Command
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM (25h) command makes use of the 32-word program
buffer to speed up programming. A maximum of 32 words can be loaded into the program buffer. The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command dramatically reduces system
programming time compared to the standard non-buffered PROGRAM command.
When issuing a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command, V PP/WP# can be either held
HIGH or raised to V PPH. Also, it can be held LOW if the block is not the lowest or highest
block, depending on the part number. The following successive steps are required to issue the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command:
First, two UNLOCK cycles are issued. Next, a third bus WRITE cycle sets up the WRITE
TO BUFFER PROGRAM command. The set-up code can be addressed to any location

Program Operations
within the targeted block. Then, a fourth bus WRITE cycle sets up the number of words/
bytes to be programmed. Value n is written to the same block address, where n + 1 is the
number of words/bytes to be programmed. Value n + 1 must not exceed the size of the
program buffer, or the operation will abort. A fifth cycle loads the first address and data
to be programmed. Last, n bus WRITE cycles load the address and data for each word/
byte into the program buffer. Addresses must lie within the range from the start address
+1 to the start address + (n - 1).
Optimum programming performance and lower power usage are achieved by aligning
the starting address at the beginning of a 32-word boundary. Any buffer size smaller
than 32 words is allowed within a 32-word boundary, while all addresses used in the operation must lie within the 32-word boundary. In addition, any crossing boundary buffer program will result in a program abort.
To program the content of the program buffer, this command must be followed by a
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM command.
If an address is written several times during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation,
the address/data counter will be decremented at each data load operation, and the data
will be programmed to the last word loaded into the buffer.
Invalid address combinations or the incorrect sequence of bus WRITE cycles will abort
the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command.
The status register bits DQ1, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7 can be used to monitor the device status
during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation.
The WRITE BUFFER PROGRAM command should not be used to change a bit set to 0
back to 1, and an attempt to do so is masked during the operation. Rather than the
WRITE BUFFER PROGRAM command, the ERASE command should be used to set
memory bits from 0 to 1.

Program Operations
UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER
(25h) command can be used to program the device in fast program mode. The command requires two bus WRITE operations fewer than the standard WRITE TO BUFFER
PROGRAM command.
The UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command behaves the same way
as the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command: the operation cannot be aborted, and
a bus READ operation to the memory outputs the status register.
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM command is used to confirm an UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command and to program the n + 1
words/bytes loaded in the program buffer by this command.
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM Command
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM (29h) command is used to confirm a
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command and to program the n + 1 words/bytes loaded
in the program buffer by this command.
BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET Command
A BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET (F0h) command must be issued to abort
the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM and ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM operations
and reset the device in read mode. The buffer programming sequence can be aborted in
the following ways:
• Load a value that is greater than the page buffer size during the number of locations
to program in the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command.
• Write to an address in a different block than the one specified during the WRITE BUFFER LOAD command.
• Write an address/data pair to a different write buffer page than the one selected by
the starting address during the program buffer data loading stage of the operation.
• Write data other than the CONFIRM command after the specified number of data
load cycles.
The abort condition is indicated by DQ1 = 1, DQ7 = DQ7# (for the last address location
loaded), DQ6 = toggle, and DQ5 = 0 (all of which are status register bits). A BUFFERED
PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command sequence must be written to reset the device
for the next operation.
Note: The full three-cycle BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command sequence is required when using buffer programming features in unlock bypass mode.
PROGRAM SUSPEND Command
The PROGRAM SUSPEND (B0h) command can be used to interrupt a program operation so that data can be read from any block. When the PROGRAM SUSPEND command
is issued during a program operation, the device suspends the operation within the program suspend latency time and updates the status register bits.
After the program operation has been suspended, data can be read from any address.
However, data is invalid when read from an address where a program operation has
been suspended.

128Mb 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash
Program Operations
The PROGRAM SUSPEND command may also be issued during a PROGRAM operation
while an erase is suspended. In this case, data may be read from any address not in
erase suspend or program suspend mode. To read from the extended memory block
area (one-time programmable area), the ENTER/EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK
command sequences must be issued.
The system may also issue the AUTO SELECT command sequence when the device is in
program suspend mode. The system can read as many auto select codes as required.
When the device exits auto select mode, the device reverts to program suspend mode
and is ready for another valid operation.
The PROGRAM SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device reset or powerdown. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that the
words or bytes that were aborted be reprogrammed.
PROGRAM RESUME Command
The PROGRAM RESUME (30h) command must be issued to exit a program suspend
mode and resume a PROGRAM operation. The controller can use DQ7 or DQ6 status
bits to determine the status of the PROGRAM operation. After a PROGRAM RESUME
command is issued, subsequent PROGRAM RESUME commands are ignored. Another
PROGRAM SUSPEND command can be issued after the device has resumed programming.
ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM Command
The ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command (x16 only) makes use of a 256-word
write buffer to speed up programming. Each write buffer has the same A22-A8 addresses. This command dramatically reduces system programming time compared to both
the standard non-buffered PROGRAM command and the WRITE TO BUFFER command.
When issuing the ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command, the V PP/WP pin can
be held HIGH or raised to V PPH (see Program/Erase Characteristics). The following successive steps are required to issue the ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command:
The ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command begins with two unlock cycles, followed by one bus write cycle that sets up the command. The setup code can be addressed to any location within the targeted block. Next, another bus write cycle loads
the first address and data to be programmed. There a total of 256 address and data loading cycles. To program the content of the write buffer, the ENHANCED BUFFERED
PROGRAM command must be followed by an ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM
CONFIRM command. The command ends with an internal enhanced buffered program
confirm cycle.
Address/data cycles must be loaded in an increasing address order, from A[7:0] =
00000000 to A[7:0] = 11111111 until all 256 words are loaded. Invalid address combinations or the incorrect sequence of bus WRITE cycles will abort the WRITE TO BUFFER
PROGRAM command.
The status register bits DQ1, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7 can be used to monitor the device status
during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation.
An external 12V supply can be used to improve programming efficiency.

Program Operations
When reprogramming data in a portion of memory already programmed (changing
programmed data from '0' to '1') operation failure can be detected by a logical OR between the previous and the current value.
UNLOCK BYPASS ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM Command
The UNLOCK BYPASS ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command can be used to
program the memory in fast program mode. The command requires two less address/
data loading cycles than the standard ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command.
Otherwise, the two operations behave identically. The operation cannot be aborted and
a READ operation to the memory outputs the status register. The ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM CONFIRM command confirms the command and programs the 256
words loaded in the buffer.
ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM CONFIRM Command
The ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM CONFIRM command is used to confirm the
two ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM CONFIRM commands and to program the 256
words loaded in the buffer.

Erase Operations
Erase Operations
CHIP ERASE Command
The CHIP ERASE (80/10h) command erases the entire chip. Six bus WRITE operations
are required to issue the command and start the program/erase controller.
Protected blocks are not erased. If all blocks are protected, the CHIP ERASE operation
appears to start, but will terminate within approximately100μs, leaving the data unchanged. No error is reported when protected blocks are not erased.
During the CHIP ERASE operation, the device ignores all other commands, including
ERASE SUSPEND. It is not possible to abort the operation. All bus READ operations during CHIP ERASE output the status register on the data I/Os. (See the Status Register section for more details.)
After the CHIP ERASE operation completes, the device returns to read mode, unless an
error has occurred. If an error occurs, the device will continue to output the status register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error condition and return to
read mode.
The CHIP ERASE command sets all of the bits in unprotected blocks of the device to 1.
All previous data is lost.
The operation is aborted by performing a reset or by powering-down the device. In this
case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the entire chip should be erased again.
UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE (80/10h)
command can be used to erase all memory blocks at one time. The command requires
only two bus WRITE operations instead of six using the standard CHIP ERASE command. The final bus WRITE operation starts the program/erase controller.
The UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE command behaves the same way as the CHIP
ERASE command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to the
memory outputs the status register.
BLOCK ERASE Command
The BLOCK ERASE (80/30h) command erases a list of one or more blocks. It sets all of
the bits in the unprotected selected blocks to 1. All previous data in the selected blocks
is lost.
Six bus WRITE operations are required to select the first block in the list. Each additional block in the list can be selected by repeating the sixth bus WRITE operation using the
address of the additional block. After the command sequence is written, a block erase
timeout occurs. During the timeout period, additional block addresses and BLOCK
ERASE commands can be written. After the program/erase controller has started, it is
not possible to select any more blocks. Each additional block must therefore be selected
within the timeout period of the last block. The timeout timer restarts when an additional block is selected. After the sixth bus WRITE operation, a bus READ operation outputs the status register. (See the WE#-Controlled Program waveforms for details on how
to identify if the program/erase controller has started the BLOCK ERASE operation.)

Erase Operations
After the BLOCK ERASE operation completes, the device returns to read mode, unless
an error has occurred. If an error occurs, bus READ operations will continue to output
the status register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error condition and return to read mode.
If any selected blocks are protected, they are ignored, and all the other selected blocks
are erased. If all the selected blocks are protected, the BLOCK ERASE operation appears
to start, but will terminate within approximately100μs, leaving the data unchanged. No
error condition is given when protected blocks are not erased.
During the BLOCK ERASE operation, the device ignores all commands except the
ERASE SUSPEND command and the READ/RESET command, which is accepted only
during the timeout period. The operation is aborted by performing a reset or poweringdown the device. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the aborted blocks
should be erased again.
UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE
(80/30h) command can be used to erase one or more memory blocks at a time. The
command requires two bus WRITE operations instead of six using the standard BLOCK
ERASE command. The final bus WRITE operation latches the address of the block and
starts the program/erase controller.
To erase multiple blocks (after the first two bus WRITE operations have selected the first
block in the list), each additional block in the list can be selected by repeating the second bus WRITE operation using the address of the additional block.
The UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE command behaves the same way as the BLOCK
ERASE command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to the
memory outputs the status register. (See the BLOCK ERASE Command section for details.)
ERASE SUSPEND Command
The ERASE SUSPEND (B0h) command temporarily suspends a BLOCK ERASE operation. One bus WRITE operation is required to issue the command. The block address is
"Don't Care."
The program/erase controller suspends the ERASE operation within the erase suspend
latency time of the ERASE SUSPEND command being issued. However, when the
ERASE SUSPEND command is written during the block erase timeout, the device immediately terminates the timeout period and suspends the ERASE operation. After the
program/erase controller has stopped, the device operates in read mode, and the erase
is suspended.
During an ERASE SUSPEND operation, it is possible to read and execute PROGRAM operations or WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operations in blocks that are not suspended.
Both READ and PROGRAM operations behave normally on these blocks. Reading from
blocks that are suspended will output the status register. If any attempt is made to program in a protected block or in the suspended block, the PROGRAM command is ignored, and the data remains unchanged. In this case, the status register is not read, and no
error condition is given.

Erase Operations
It is also possible to issue AUTO SELECT and UNLOCK BYPASS commands during an
ERASE SUSPEND operation. The READ/RESET command must be issued to return the
device to read array mode before the RESUME command will be accepted.
During an ERASE SUSPEND operation, a bus READ operation to the extended memory
block will output the extended memory block data. After the device enters extended
memory block mode, the EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK command must be issued
before the ERASE operation can be resumed.
An ERASE SUSPEND command is ignored if it is written during a CHIP ERASE operation.
If the ERASE SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device reset or powerdown, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the suspended blocks should be erased
again.
ERASE RESUME Command
The ERASE RESUME (30h) command restarts the program/erase controller after an
ERASE SUSPEND operation.
The device must be in read array mode before the RESUME command will be accepted.
An erase can be suspended and resumed more than once.

Protection Operations
Protection Operations
Blocks can be protected individually against accidental PROGRAM, ERASE, or READ operations on both 8-bit and 16-bit configurations. The block protection scheme is shown
in the Software Protection Scheme figure. Memory block and extended memory block
protection is configured through the lock register.
LOCK REGISTER Commands
The ENTER LOCK REGISTER COMMAND SET (40h) command enables execution of all
READ or PROGRAM LOCK REGISTER commands. PROGRAM LOCK REGISTER (A0h)
configures the lock register, and READ LOCK REGISTER reads/confirms programmed
data.
PASSWORD PROTECTION Commands
The ENTER PASSWORD PROTECTION COMMAND SET (60h) command enables execution of password protection commands. PROGRAM PASSWORD (A0h) programs the 64bit password used in the password protection mode. To program the 64-bit password in
8-bit mode, the complete command sequence must be entered eight times at eight consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0] plus DQ15/A-1; in 16-bit mode, the command sequence must be entered four times at four consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0]. By
default, all password bits are set to 1. The password can be checked by issuing a READ
PASSWORD command.
READ PASSWORD verifies the password used in password protection mode. To verify
the 64-bit password in 8-bit mode, the complete command sequence must be entered
eight times at eight consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0] plus DQ15/A-1. In 16-bit
mode, the command sequence must be entered four times at four consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0]. If the password mode lock bit is programmed, and a user attempts
to read the password, the device outputs FFh.
UNLOCK PASSWORD (25/03h) clears the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit, allowing
the nonvolatile protection bits to be modified. UNLOCK PASSWORD must be issued
with the correct password and requires a 1μs delay between successive UNLOCK PASSWORD commands. The delay helps prevent password intruders from trying all possible
64-bit combinations. If the delay does not occur, the latest command is ignored. After a
valid 64-bit password is entered, approximately 1μs is required to unlock the device.
NONVOLATILE PROTECTION Commands
The ENTER NONVOLATILE PROTECTION COMMAND SET (C0h) command enables
nonvolatile protection mode commands to be issued to the device. A block can be protected from PROGRAM or ERASE operations using a PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command, along with the block address. This command sets the
nonvolatile protection bit to 0 for a given block.
The status of a nonvolatile protection bit for a given block or group of blocks can be
read using a READ NONVOLATILE MODIFY PROTECTION BIT command, along with
the block address. The nonvolatile protection bits are erased simultaneously using a
CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS (80/30h) command. No specific block
address is required. If the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit is set to 0, the command
fails.

Protection Operations
NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT Commands
After the ENTER NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT COMMAND SET (50h)
command has been issued, the commands that allow the nonvolatile protection bit lock
bit to be set can be issued to the device.
The PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT (A0h) command is used to
set the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit to 0, thus locking the nonvolatile protection
bits and preventing them from being modified.
The READ NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT STATUS command is used to
read the status of the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit.
VOLATILE PROTECTION Commands
After the ENTER VOLATILE PROTECTION COMMAND SET (E0h) command has been
issued, commands related to the volatile protection mode can be issued to the device.
The PROGRAM VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command individually sets a volatile protection bit to 0 for a given block. If the nonvolatile protection bit for the same
block is set, the block is locked regardless of the value of the volatile protection bit. (See
the Block Protection Status table.)
The status of a volatile protection bit for a given block can be read by issuing a READ
VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT STATUS command along with the block address.
The CLEAR VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command individually clears (sets to 1)
the volatile protection bit for a given block. If the nonvolatile protection bit for the same
block is set, the block is locked regardless of the value of the volatile protection bit. (See
the Block Protection Status table.)
EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK Commands
The device has one extra 128-word extended memory block that can be accessed only
by the ENTER EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK (88h) command. The extended memory
block is 128 words (x16) or 256 bytes (x8). It is used as a security block to provide a permanent 128-bit security identification number or to store additional information. The
device can be shipped with the extended memory block prelocked permanently by Micron, including the 128-bit security identification number. Or, the device can be shipped with the extended memory block unlocked, enabling customers to permanently
program and lock it. (See Lock Register, the AUTO SELECT command, and the Block
Protection table.)

After the ENTER EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK command has been issued, the device
enters the extended memory block mode. All bus READ or PROGRAM operations are
conducted on the extended memory block, and the extended memory block is addressed using the addresses occupied by block 0 in the other operating modes. (See the
Memory Map table.)

128Mb 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash
Protection Operations
In extended memory block mode, ERASE, CHIP ERASE, ERASE SUSPEND, and ERASE
RESUME commands are not allowed. The extended memory block cannot be erased,
and each bit of the extended memory block can only be programmed once.
The extended memory block is protected from further modification by programming
lock register bit 0. Once invoked, this protection cannot be undone.
The device remains in extended memory block mode until the EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK (90/00h) command is issued, which returns the device to read mode, or
until power is removed from the device. After a power-up sequence or hardware reset,
the device will revert to reading memory blocks in the main array.
EXIT PROTECTION Command
The EXIT PROTECTION COMMAND SET (90/00h) command is used to exit the lock
register, password protection, nonvolatile protection, volatile protection, and nonvolatile protection bit lock bit command set modes and return the device to read mode.

Device Protection
Device Protection
Hardware Protection
The V PP/WP# function provides a hardware method of protecting the highest or lowest
block. When V PP/WP# is LOW, PROGRAM and ERASE operations on either of these
blocks is ignored to provide protection. When V PP/WP# is HIGH, the device reverts to
the previous protection status for the highest or lowest block. PROGRAM and ERASE
operations can modify the data in this block unless the block is protected using block
protection.
When V PP/WP# protect is raised to V PPH, the device automatically enters the unlock bypass mode, and command execution time is faster. This must never be done from any
mode except read mode; otherwise, the device might be left in an indeterminate state.
A 0.1μF capacitor should be connected between V PP/WP# and the V SS ground pin to decouple the current surges from the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry the currents required during unlock bypass program.
When V PP/WP# returns to HIGH or LOW, normal operation resumes. When operations
execute in unlock bypass mode, the device draws IPP from the pin to supply the programming circuits. Transitions from HIGH to V PPH and from V PPH to LOW must be slower than tVHVPP.
Note: Micron highly recommends driving V PP/WP# HIGH or LOW. If a system needs to
float V PP/WP#, without a pull-up/pull-down resistor and no capacitor, then an internal
pull-up resistor is enabled.
Table 14: VPP/WP# Functions
VPP/WP# Settings
Function
VIL
Highest (29WxxxGH) or lowest (29WxxxGL) block is protected.
VIH
Highest or lowest block is unprotected unless software protection is activated.
VPPH
Unlock bypass mode supplies current necessary to speed up PROGRAM execution time.
Software Protection
Software protection includes volatile, nonvolatile, and password protection as well as
password access. The device is shipped with all blocks unprotected. On first use, the device defaults to the nonvolatile protection mode but can be activated in either the nonvolatile protection or password protection mode.
The desired protection mode is activated by setting either the nonvolatile protection
mode lock bit or the password protection mode lock bit of the lock register. (See the
Lock Register section.) Both bits are one-time-programmable and nonvolatile; therefore, after the protection mode has been activated, it cannot be changed, and the device
is set permanently to operate in the selected protection mode. It is recommended that
the desired software protection mode be activated when first programming the device.
For the lowest and highest blocks, a higher level of block protection can be achieved by
locking the blocks using nonvolatile protection mode and holding V PP /WP# LOW.

128Mb 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash
Device Protection
Blocks with volatile protection and nonvolatile protection can coexist within the memory array. If the user attempts to program or erase a protected block, the device ignores
the command and returns to read mode.
The block protection status can be read by performing a read electronic signature or by
issuing an AUTO SELECT command. (See the Block Protection table.)
Refer to the Block Protection Status table and the Software Protection Scheme figure for
details on the block protection scheme. Refer to the Protection Operations section for a
description of the command sets.
Volatile Protection Mode
Volatile protection enables the software application to protect blocks against inadvertent change and can be disabled when changes are needed. Volatile protection bits are
unique for each block and can be individually modified. Volatile protection bits control
the protection scheme only for unprotected blocks whose nonvolatile protection bits
are cleared to 1. Issuing a PROGRAM VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT or CLEAR VOLATILE
PROTECTION BIT command sets to 0 or clears to 1 the volatile protection bits and places the associated blocks in the protected (0) or unprotected (1) state, respectively. The
volatile protection bit can be set or cleared as often as needed.
When the device is first shipped, or after a power-up or hardware reset, the volatile protection bits default to 1 (unprotected).
Nonvolatile Protection Mode
A nonvolatile protection bit is assigned to each block. Each of these bits can be set for
protection individually by issuing a PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT command. Also, each device has one global volatile bit called the nonvolatile protection bit
lock bit; it can be set to protect all nonvolatile protection bits at once. This global bit
must be set to 0 only after all nonvolatile protection bits are configured to the desired
settings. When set to 0, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit prevents changes to the
state of the nonvolatile protection bits. When cleared to 1, the nonvolatile protection
bits can be set and cleared using the PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT and
CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS commands, respectively.
No software command unlocks the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit unless the device
is in password protection mode; in nonvolatile protection mode, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit can be cleared only by taking the device through a hardware reset or
power-up.
Nonvolatile protection bits cannot be cleared individually; they must be cleared all at
once using a CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS command. They will remain set through a hardware reset or a power-down/power-up sequence.
If one of the nonvolatile protection bits needs to be cleared (unprotected), additional
steps are required. First, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit must be cleared to 1, using either a power-cycle or hardware reset. Then, the nonvolatile protection bits can be
changed to reflect the desired settings. Finally, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit
must be set to 0 to lock the nonvolatile protection bits. The device now will operate normally.
To achieve the best protection, the PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION LOCK BIT
command should be executed early in the boot code, and the boot code should be protected by holding V PP/WP# LOW.

Device Protection
Nonvolatile protection bits and volatile protection bits have the same function when
VPP/WP# is HIGH or when V PP/WP# is at the voltage for program acceleration (VPPH ).
Password Protection Mode
Password protection mode provides a higher level of security than the nonvolatile protection mode by requiring a 64-bit password to unlock the nonvolatile protection bit
lock bit. In addition to this password requirement, the nonvolatile protection bit lock
bit is set to 0 after power-up and reset to maintain the device in password protection
mode.
Executing the UNLOCK PASSWORD command by entering the correct password clears
the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit, enabling the block nonvolatile protection bits to
be modified. If the password provided is incorrect, the nonvolatile protection bit lock
bit remains locked, and the state of the nonvolatile protection bits cannot be modified.
To place the device in password protection mode, the following two steps are required:
First, before activating the password protection mode, a 64-bit password must be set
and the setting verified. Password verification is allowed only before the password protection mode is activated. Next, password protection mode is activated by programming the password protection mode lock bit to 0. This operation is irreversible. After the
bit is programmed, it cannot be erased, the device remains permanently in password
protection mode, and the 64-bit password can be neither retrieved nor reprogrammed.
In addition, all commands to the address where the password is stored are disabled.
Note: There is no means to verify the password after password protection mode is enabled. If the password is lost after enabling the password protection mode, there is no
way to clear the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit.

Common Flash Interface
Common Flash Interface
The common Flash interface (CFI) is a JEDEC-approved, standardized data structure
that can be read from the Flash memory device. It allows a system's software to query
the device to determine various electrical and timing parameters, density information,
and functions supported by the memory. The system can interface easily with the device, enabling the software to upgrade itself when necessary.
When the READ CFI command is issued, the device enters CFI query mode and the data
structure is read from memory. The following tables show the addresses (A-1, A[7:0])
used to retrieve the data. The query data is always presented on the lowest order data
outputs (DQ[7:0]), and the other data outputs (DQ[15:8]) are set to 0.
