GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F080 is an 8 Mbit, 5.0 Volt-only Flash memory organized as 1 Megabyte of 8 bits. The 1 Mbyte of
data is divided into 16 sectors of 64 Kbytes for flexible
erase capability. The 8 bits of data will appear on DQ0–
DQ7. The Am29F080 is offered in a 40-pin TSOP, or
44-pin PSOP package. This device is designed to be
programmed in-system with the standard system
5.0 volt VCC supply. 12.0 volt VPP is not required for
program or erase operations. The device can also be
reprogrammed in standard EPROM programmers.
The standard Am29F080 offers access times of 85 ns,
90 ns, 120 ns, and 150 ns allowing operation of highspeed microprocessors without wait states. To
eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip
enable (CE), write enable (WE), and output enable
(OE) controls.
The Am29F080 is entirely command set compatible
with the JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard.
Commands are written to the command register using
standard microprocessor write timings. Register
contents serve as input to an internal state-machine
which controls the erase and programming circuitry.
Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data

needed for the programming and erase operations.
Reading data out of the device is similar to reading
from 12.0 volt Flash or conventional EPROM devices.
The Am29F080 is programmed by executing the
program command sequence. This will invoke the
Embedded Program Algorithm which is an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse
widths and verifies proper cell margin. Erase is accomplished by executing the erase command sequence.
This will invoke the Embedded Erase Algorithm which
is an internal algorithm that automatically preprograms
the array if it is not already programmed before executing the erase operation. During erase, the device automatically times the erase pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin.
This device also features a sector erase architecture.
This allows for sectors of memory to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data contents of
other sectors. A sector is typically erased and verified
within one second. The Am29F080 is erased when
shipped from the factory.
The Am29F080 device also features hardware sector
group protection. This feature will disable both program
and erase operations in any combination of eight sector
groups of memory. A sector group consists of two adjacent sectors grouped in the following pattern: sectors
0–1, 2–3, 4–5, 6–7, 8–9, 10–11, 12–13, and 14–15.
or Embedded Erase Algorithm, the device will be automatically reset to the read mode and will leave erroneous data stored in the address locations being
operated on. These locations will need re-writing after
the Reset. Resetting the device will enable the system’s microprocessor to read the boot-up firmware
from the Flash memory.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash
memory manufacturing experience to produce the
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness. The Am29F080 memory electrically erases all
bits within a sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The bytes are programmed one byte at
a time using the EPROM programming mechanism of
hot electron injection.
Flexible Sector-Erase Architecture
■ Sixteen 64 Kbyte sectors

2 adjacent sectors in the following pattern: sectors
0–1, 2–3, 4–5, 6–7, 8–9, 10–11, 12–13, and 14–15
■ Individual-sector or multiple-sector erase capability
■ Sector group protection is user-definable

AMD has implemented an Erase Suspend feature that
enables the user to put erase on hold for any period of
time to read data from, or program data to, a sector that
was not being erased. Thus, true background erase
can be achieved.
The device features single 5.0 volt power supply operation for both read and write functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations. A low VCC detector automatically inhibits write operations during power transitions. The end of program or erase is detected by the
RY/BY pin, Data Polling of DQ7, or by the Toggle Bit I
(DQ6).Once the end of a program or erase cycle has
been completed, the device automatically resets to the
read mode.
The Am29F080 also has a hardware RESET pin. When
this pin is driven low, execution of any Embedded Program Algorithm or Embedded Erase Algorithm will be
terminated. The internal state machine will then be
reset into the read mode. The RESET pin may be tied
to the system reset circuitry. Therefore, if a system
reset occurs during the Embedded Program Algorithm

Read Mode
The Am29F080 has two control functions which must
be satisfied in order to obtain data at the outputs. CE is
the power control and should be used for device selection. OE is the output control and should be used to
gate data to the output pins if the device is selected.
Address access time (tACC ) is equal to the delay
from stable addresses to valid output data. The chip
enable access time (tCE) is the delay from stable addresses and stable CE to valid data at the output pins.
The output enable access time is the delay from the
falling edge of OE to valid data at the output pins (assuming the addresses have been stable for at least
tACC–tOE time).
reduced to less than 1 µ A. A TTL standby mode is
achieved with CE and RESET pins held at VIH. Under
this condition the current is typically reduced to 200 µA.
The device can be read with standard access time (tCE)
from either of these standby modes.
When using the RESET pin only, a CMOS standby
mode is achieved with RESET input held at VSS ± 0.3 V
(CE = don’t care). Under this condition the current is
typically reduced to less than 1 µA. A TTL standby
mode is achieved with RESET pin held at V I L
(CE = don’t care). Under this condition the current is
typically reduced to less than 200 µA. Once the RESET
pin is taken high, the device requires 500 ns of wake up
time before outputs are valid for read access.
In the standby mode the outputs are in the high
impedance state, independent of the OE input.
Standby Mode
There are two ways to implement the standby mode on
the Am29F080 device, one using both the CE and
RESET pins; the other via the RESET pin only.
When using both pins, a CMOS standby mode is
achieved with CE and RESET inputs both held at VCC
± 0.3 V. Under this condition the current is typically
Output Disable
With the OE input at a logic high level (VIH), output from
the device is disabled. This will cause the output pins to
be in a high impedance state.

Autoselect
The autoselect mode allows the reading 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.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment
must force VID (11.5 V to 12.5 V) 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, A1, and A6
(seeTable 2).
Byte 0 (A0 = VIL) represents the manufacturer’s code
(AMD = 01H) and byte 1 (A0 = VIH) the device identifier
code for Am29F080 = D5H. These two bytes are given
in the table below. All identifiers for manufacturer and
device will exhibit odd parity with DQ7 defined as the
parity bit. In order to read the proper device codes
when executing the Autoselect, A1 must be V IL
(see Table 2).
The autoselect mode also facilitates the determination
of sector group protection in the system. By performing
a read operation at the address location XX02H with
the higher order address bits A17, A18, and A19 set to
the desired sector group address, the device will return
01H for a protected sector group and 00H for a nonprotected sector group.
The manufacturer and device codes may also be read
via the command register, for instances when the
Am29F080 is erased or programmed in a system without access to high voltage on the A9 pin. The command
sequence is illustrated in Table 5 (see Autoselect
Command Sequence).

Write
Device erasure and programming are accomplished
via the command register. The contents of the register
serve as inputs to the internal state machine. The state
machine outputs dictate the function of the device.
The command register itself does not occupy any addressable memory location. The register is a latch used
to store the commands, along with the address and
data information needed to execute the command. The
command register is written to by bringing WE to VIL,
while CE is at VIL and OE is at VIH. Addresses are
latched on the falling edge of WE or CE, whichever
happens later; while data is latched on the rising edge
of WE or CE, whichever happens first. Standard
microprocessor write timings are used.
Refer to AC Write Characteristics and the Erase/
Programming Waveforms for specific timing parameters.
Sector Group Protection
Temporary Sector Group Unprotect
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously protected sector groups of the Am29F080 device
in order to change data in-system. The Sector Group
Unprotect mode is activated by setting the RESET pin
to high voltage (12V). During this mode, formerly protected sector groups can be programmed or erased by
selecting the sector group addresses. Once the 12 V is
taken away from the RESET pin, all the previously protected sector groups will be protected again. Refer to
Figures 15 and 16.
Command Definitions
The Am29F080 features hardware sector group protection. This feature will disable both program and
erase operations in any combination of eight sector
groups of memory. Each sector group consists of two
adjacent sectors grouped in the following pattern: sectors 0–1, 2–3, 4–5, 6–7, 8–9, 10–11, 12–13, 14–15
(see Table 4). The sector group protect feature is enabled using programming equipment at the user’s site.
The device is shipped with all sector groups unprotected. Alternatively, AMD may program and protect
sector groups in the factory prior to shipping the device
(AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service).
10
It is possible to determine if a sector group is protected
in the system by writing an Autoselect command. Performing a read operation at the address location
XX02H, where the higher order address bits A17, A18,
and A19 is the desired sector group address, will produce a logical “1” at DQ0 for a protected sector group.
See Table 2 for Autoselect codes.
Device operations are selected by writing specific address and data sequences into the command register.
Writing incorrect address and data values or writing them in the improper sequence will reset the
device to the read mode. Table 5 defines the valid
register command sequences. Note that the Erase
Suspend (B0H) and Erase Resume (30H) commands
are valid only while the Sector Erase operation is in
progress. Moreover, both Reset/Read commands are
functionally equivalent, resetting the device to the
read mode.

PD = Data to be programmed at location PA. Data is latched on the rising edge of WE.

5. Address bits A15, A14, A13, A12 and A11 = X, X = don’t care.
Read/Reset Command
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 command register contents are altered.
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.

Autoselect Command
Flash memories are intended for use in applications
where the local CPU can alter memory contents. As
such, manufacture and device codes must be accessible while the device resides in the target system.
PROM programmers typically access the signature
codes by raising A9 to a high voltage. However, multiplexing high voltage onto the address lines is not
generally a desirable system design practice.
The device contains an autoselect command operation
to supplement traditional PROM programming methodology. The operation is initiated by writing the autoselect command sequence into the command register.
Following the command write, a read cycle from address XX00H retrieves the manufacturer code of 01H.
A read cycle from address XX01H returns the device
code D5H (see Table 2).
All manufacturer and device codes will exhibit odd parity with DQ7 defined as the parity bit.
Furthermore, the write protect status of sectors can be
read in this mode. Scanning the sector group addresses (A17, A18, and A19) while (A6, A1, A0) =
(0, 1, 0) will produce a logical “1” at device output DQ0
for a protected sector group.
To terminate the operation, it is necessary to write the
read/reset command sequence into the register.
Byte Programming
The device is programmed on a byte-by-byte basis.
Programming is a four bus cycle operation. There are
two “unlock” write cycles. These are followed by the
program setup command and data write cycles. Addresses are latched on the falling edge of CE or WE,
whichever happens later and the data is latched on the
rising edge of CE or WE, whichever happens first. The
rising edge of CE or WE (whichever happens first) begins programming using the Embedded Program Algorithm. Upon executing the algorithm, the system is not
required to provide further controls or timings. The device will automatically provide adequate internally generated program pulses and verify the programmed cell
margin.
The automatic programming operation is completed
when the data on DQ7 (also used as Data Polling) is
equivalent to the data written to this bit at which time
the device returns to the read mode and addresses are
no longer latched (see Table 6, Write Operation Status). Therefore, the device requires that a valid address
to the device be supplied by the system at this particular instance of time for Data Polling operations. Data
Polling must be performed at the memory location
which is being programmed.
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded Program Algorithm will be ignored. If a hardware
12
reset occurs during the programming operation, the
data at that particular location will be corrupted.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across
sector boundaries. Beware that a data “0” cannot be
programmed back to a “1”. Attempting to do so may
cause the device to exceed programming time limits
(DQ5 = 1) device or result in an apparent success, according to the data polling algorithm, but a read from
reset/read mode will show that the data is still “0”. Only
erase operations can convert “0”s to “1”s.
Figure 1 illustrates the Embedded Programming Algorithm using typical command strings and bus operations.
Chip Erase
Chip erase is a six bus cycle operation. There are two
“unlock” write cycles. These are followed by writing the
“setup” command. Two more “unlock” write cycles are
then followed by the chip erase command.
Chip erase does not require the user to program the
device prior to erase. Upon executing the Embedded
Erase Algorithm command sequence the device will
automatically program and verify the entire memory for
an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The
erase is performed sequentially one sector at a time
(See table “Erase and Programming Performance” for
erase times). The system is not required to provide any
controls or timings during these operations.
The automatic erase begins on the rising edge of the
last WE pulse in the command sequence and
terminates when the data on DQ7 is “1” (see Write Operation Status section) at which time the device returns
to read mode.
Figure 2 illustrates the Embedded Erase Algorithm
using typical command strings and bus operations.
Sector Erase
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. There are two
“unlock” write cycles. These are followed by writing the
“setup” command. Two more “unlock” write cycles are
then followed by the sector erase command. The sector
address (any address location within the desired
sector) is latched on the falling edge of WE, while the
command (30H) is latched on the rising edge of WE.
After a time-out of 50 µs from the rising edge of the last
sector erase command, the sector erase operation
will begin.
Multiple sectors may be erased sequentially by writing the six bus cycle operations as described above.
This sequence is followed with writes of the Sector
Erase command to addresses in other sectors desired to be sequentially erased. The time between
writes must be less than 50 µs otherwise that command will not be accepted and erasure will start. It
is recommended that processor interrupts be disabled during this time to guarantee this condition.
Am29F080
P R E L I M I N A R Y
The interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is written. A time-out of 50 µs
from the rising edge of the last WE will initiate the
execution of the Sector Erase command(s). If another falling edge of the WE occurs within the 50 µs
time-out window the timer is reset. (Monitor DQ3 to
determine if the sector erase timer window is still
open, see section DQ3, Sector Erase Timer.) Any
command other than Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during this period will reset the device to the
read mode, ignoring the previous command string.
In that case, restart the erase on those sectors and
allow them to complete.
Sector erase does not require the user to program the
device prior to erase. The device automatically programs all memory locations in the sector(s) to be
erased prior to electrical erase. When erasing a sector
or sectors the remaining unselected sectors are not affected. The system is not required to provide any controls or timings during these operations.
The automatic sector erase begins after the 50 µs time
out from the rising edge of the WE pulse for the last
sector erase command pulse and terminates when the
data on DQ7, Data Polling, is “1” (see Write Operation
Status section) at which time the device returns to the
read mode. Data Polling must be performed at an
address within any of the sectors being erased.
Figure 2 illustrates the Embedded Erase Algorithm
using typical command strings and bus operations.
Erase Suspend
The Erase Suspend command allows the user to interrupt a Sector Erase operation and then perform data
reads or programs to a sector not being erased. This
command is applicable ONLY during the Sector Erase
operation which includes the time-out period for sector
erase. The Erase Suspend command will be ignored if
written during the Chip Erase operation or Embedded
Program Algorithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the Sector Erase time-out results in immediate termination of the time-out period and suspension
of the erase operation.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during
the Sector Erase operation, the device will take a
maximum of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation.
When the device has entered the erase-suspended
mode, the RY/BY output pin and the DQ7 bit will be at
logic “1”, and DQ6 will stop toggling. The user must use
the address of the erasing sector for reading DQ6 and
DQ7 to determine if the erase operation has been
suspended. Further writes of the Erase Suspend
command are ignored.
When the erase operation has been suspended, the
device defaults to the erase-suspend-read mode.
Reading data in this mode is the same as reading from
the standard read mode except that the data must be
read from sectors that have not been erase-suspended. Successively reading from the erasesuspended sector while the device is in the erasesuspend-read mode will cause DQ2 to toggle. (See the
section on DQ2).
After entering the erase-suspend-read mode, the user
can program the device by writing the appropriate command sequence for Byte Program. This program mode
is known as the erase-suspend-program mode. Again,
programming in this mode is the same as programming
in the regular Byte Program mode except that the data
must be programmed to sectors that are not erase-suspended. Successively reading from the erase-suspended sector while the device is in the erasesuspend-program mode will cause DQ2 to toggle. The
end of the erase-suspended program operation is detected by the RY/BY output pin, Data Polling of DQ7, or
by the Toggle Bit I (DQ6) which is the same as the regular Byte Program operation. Note that DQ7 must be
read from the byte program address while DQ6 can be
read from any address.
To resume the operation of Sector Erase, the Resume
command (30H) should be written. Any further writes of
the Resume command at this point will be ignored. Another Erase Suspend command can be written after the
chip has resumed erasing.

(Refer to the Write Operation Status section for DQ3,
Sector Erase Timer, operation.) Loading the sector
erase buffer may be done in any sequence and with
any number of sectors (0 to 15).
Any other command written during the Erase Suspend
mode will be ignored except the Erase Resume command. Writing the Erase Resume command resumes
the erase operation. The addresses are “don’t-cares”
when writing the Erase Suspend or Erase Resume
command.

However, successive reads from the erase-suspended sector will cause DQ2 to toggle.
DQ7
Data Polling
The Am29F080 device features Data Polling as a
method to indicate to the host that the embedded algorithms are in progress or completed. During the Embedded Program Algorithm, an attempt to read the
device will produce the complement of the data last
written to DQ7. Upon completion of the Embedded Program Algorithm, an attempt to read the device will produce the true data last written to DQ7. During the
Embedded Erase Algorithm, an attempt to read the device will produce a “0” at the DQ7 output. Upon completion of the Embedded Erase Algorithm an attempt to
read the device will produce a “1” at the DQ7 output.
The flowchart for Data Polling (DQ7) is shown in
Figure 3.
Data Polling will also flag the entry into Erase Suspend.
DQ7 will switch “0” to “1” at the start of the Erase Suspend mode. Please note that the address of an erasing
sector must be applied in order to observe DQ7 in the
Erase Suspend Mode.
During Program in Erase Suspend, Data Polling will
perform the same as in regular program execution
outside of the suspend mode.
after the last rising edge of the sector erase WE pulse.
Data Polling must be performed at sector addresses
within any of the sectors being erased and not a sector
that is within a protected sector group. Otherwise, the
status may not be valid.
Just prior to the completion of Embedded Algorithm operations DQ7 may change asynchronously while the
output enable (OE) is asserted low. This means that the
device is driving status information on DQ7 at one instant of time and then that byte’s valid data at the next
instant of time. Depending on when the system samples the DQ7 output, it may read the status or valid
data. Even if the device has completed the Embedded
Algorithm operations and DQ7 has a valid data, the
data outputs on DQ0–DQ6 may be still invalid. The
valid data on DQ0–DQ7 can be read on the successive
read attempts.
The Data Polling feature is only active during the Embedded Programming Algorithm, Embedded Erase Algorithm, Erase Suspend, erase-suspend-program
mode, or sector erase time-out (see Table 6).
See Figure 11 for the Data Polling timing specifications
and diagrams.
For chip erase, the Data Polling is valid after the rising
edge of the sixth WE pulse in the six write pulse
sequence. For sector erase, the Data Polling is valid
14
Am29F080
P R E L I M I N A R Y
DQ6
Toggle Bit I
The Am29F080 also features the “Toggle Bit I” as a
method to indicate to the host system that the embedded algorithms are in progress or completed.
Either CE or OE toggling will cause DQ6 to toggle. In
addition, an Erase Suspend/Resume command will
cause DQ6 to toggle. See Figure 12 for the Toggle Bit I
timing specifications and diagrams.
DQ5
Exceeded Timing Limits
DQ5 will indicate if the program or erase time has exceeded the specified limits (internal pulse count).
Under these conditions DQ5 will produce a “1”. This is
a failure condition which indicates that the program or
erase cycle was not successfully completed. Data Polling is the only operating function of the device under
this condition. The CE circuit will partially power down
the device under these conditions (to approximately 2
mA). The OE and WE pins will control the output
disable functions as described in Table 1.
The DQ5 failure condition will also appear if a user tries
to program a 1 to a location that is previously programmed to 0. In this case the device locks out and
never completes the Embedded Program Algorithm.
Hence, the system never reads a valid data on DQ7 bit
and DQ6 never stops toggling. Once the device has exceeded timing limits, the DQ5 bit will indicate a “1”.
Please note that this is not a device failure condition
since the device was incorrectly used. If this occurs,
reset the device.
Refer to Table 6: Write Operation Status.
DQ2
Toggle Bit II
This toggle bit, along with DQ6, can be used to
determine whether the device is in the Embedded
Erase Algorithm or in Erase Suspend.
Successive reads from the erasing sector will cause
DQ2 to toggle during the Embedded Erase Algorithm.
If the device is in the erase-suspended-read mode,
successive reads from the erase-suspend sector will
cause DQ2 to toggle. When the device is in the erasesuspended-program mode, successive reads from the
byte address of the non-erase suspended sector will
indicate a logic “1” at the DQ2 bit.
DQ6 is different from DQ2 in that DQ6 toggles only
when the standard Program or Erase, or Erase Suspend Program operation is in progress. The behavior of
these two status bits, along with that of DQ7, is
summarized as follows:

DQ3
Sector Erase Timer
After the completion of the initial sector erase command sequence the sector erase time-out will begin.
DQ3 will remain low until the time-out is complete. Data
Polling and Toggle Bit I are valid after the initial sector
erase command sequence.
2. These status flags apply when outputs are read from the
byte address of the non-erase suspended sector.
Am29F080
15
5.0 V-only Flash
During an Embedded Program or Erase Algorithm cycle, successive attempts to read (OE toggling) data
from the device at any address will result in DQ6 toggling between one and zero. Once the Embedded Program or Erase Algorithm cycle is completed, DQ6 will
stop toggling and valid data will be read on the next
successive attempt. During programming, the Toggle
Bit I is valid after the rising edge of the fourth WE pulse
in the four write pulse sequence. For chip erase, the
Toggle Bit I is valid after the rising edge of the sixth WE
pulse in the six write pulse sequence. For Sector
Erase, the Toggle Bit I is valid after the last rising edge
of the sector erase WE pulse. The Toggle Bit I is active
during the sector erase time-out.
If Data Polling or the Toggle Bit I indicates the device
has been written with a valid erase command, DQ3
may be used to determine if the sector erase timer window is still open. If DQ3 is high (“1”) the internally controlled erase cycle has begun; attempts to write
subsequent commands (other than Erase Suspend) to
the device will be ignored until the erase operation is
completed as indicated by Data Polling or Toggle Bit I.
If DQ3 is low (“0”), the device will accept additional sector erase commands. To insure the command has been
accepted, the system software should check the status
of DQ3 prior to and following each subsequent sector
erase command. If DQ3 were high on the second status check, the command may not have been accepted.
P R E L I M I N A R Y
For example, DQ2 and DQ6 can be used together to
determine the erase-suspend-read mode (DQ2 toggles
while DQ6 does not). See also Table 6 and Figure 17.
Furthermore, DQ2 can also be used to determine
which sector is being erased. When the device is in the
erase mode, DQ2 toggles if this bit is read from the
erasing sector.
RY/BY
RESET pin is taken high, the device requires 500 ns of
wake up time until outputs are valid for read access.
The RESET pin may be tied to the system reset input.
Therefore, if a system reset occurs during the Embedded Program or Erase Algorithm, the device will be automatically reset to read mode and this will enable the
system’s microprocessor to read the boot-up firmware
from the Flash memory.
Data Protection
Ready/Busy
The Am29F080 provides a RY/BY open-drain output
pin as a way to indicate to the host system that the Embedded Algorithms are either in progress or has been
completed. If the output is low, the device is busy with
either a program or erase operation. If the output is
high, the device is ready to accept any read/write or
erase operation. When the RY/BY pin is low, the device
will not accept any additional program or erase commands with the exception of the Erase Suspend command. If the Am29F080 is placed in an Erase Suspend
mode, the RY/BY output will be high.
The Am29F080 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 mode. Also, with
its control register architecture, alteration of the memory contents only occurs after successful completion of
specific multi-bus cycle command sequences.
During programming, the RY/BY pin is driven low after
the rising edge of the fourth WE pulse. During an erase
operation, the RY/BY pin is driven low after the rising
edge of the sixth WE pulse. The RY/BY pin will indicate
a busy condition during the RESET pulse. Refer to Figure 13 for a detailed timing diagram. The RY/BY pin is
pulled high in standby mode.
Low VCC Write Inhibit
The device also incorporates several features to
prevent inadvertent write cycles resulting from VCC
power-up and power-down transitions or system noise.
Since this is an open-drain output, several RY/BY pins
can be tied together in parallel with a pull-up resistor
to VCC.
To avoid initiation of a write cycle during VCC power-up
and power-down, the Am29F080 locks out write cycles
for VCC < VLKO (see DC Characteristics section for voltages). When VCC < VLKO, the command register is disabled, all internal program/erase circuits are disabled,
and the device resets to the read mode. The
Am29F080 ignores all writes until VCC > VLKO. The user
must ensure that the control pins are in the correct logic
state when VCC > VLKO to prevent unintentional writes.
RESET
Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection
Hardware Reset
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE, CE, or
WE will not initiate a write cycle.
The Am29F080 device may be reset by driving the
RESET pin to VIL. The RESET pin must be kept low
(VIL) for at least 500 ns. Any operation in progress will
be terminated and the internal state machine will be
reset to the read mode 20µs after the RESET pin is
driven low. If a hardware reset occurs during a program
or erase operation, the data at that particular location
will be indeterminate.
When the RESET pin is low and the internal reset is
complete, the device goes to standby mode and cannot
be accessed. Also, note that all the data output pins are
tri-stated for the duration of the RESET pulse. Once the
16
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.
Power-Up Write Inhibit
Power-up of the device with WE = CE = V IL and
OE = VIH will not accept commands on the rising edge
of WE. The internal state machine is automatically
reset to the read mode on power-up.

Comments
2. Although Embedded Algorithms allow for a longer chip program and erase time, the actual time will be considerably less since
bytes program or erase significantly faster than the worst case byte.
3. Under worst case condition of 90°C, 4.5 V VCC, 100,000 cycles.
4. System-level overhead is defined as the time required to execute the four bus cycle command necessary to program each
byte. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00H before erasure.
5. The Embedded Algorithms allow for 2.5 ms byte program time. DQ5 = “1” only after a byte takes the theoretical maximum time
to program. A minimal number of bytes may require significantly more programming pulses than the typical byte. The majority
of the bytes will program within one or two pulses. This is demonstrated by the Typical and Maximum Programming Times
listed above.
