Intel’s 28F008SA 8-Mbit FlashFile TM Memory is the highest density nonvolatile read/write solution for solid-state storage. The 28F008SA’s extended cycling, symmetrically blocked architecture, fast access time,
write automation and low power consumption provide a more reliable, lower power, lighter weight and higher
performance alternative to traditional rotating disk technology. The 28F008SA brings new capabilities to portable computing. Application and operating system software stored in resident flash memory arrays provide
instant-on, rapid execute-in-place and protection from obsolescence through in-system software updates.
Resident software also extends system battery life and increases reliability by reducing disk drive accesses.
For high density data acquisition applications, the 28F008SA offers a more cost-effective and reliable alternative to SRAM and battery. Traditional high density embedded applications, such as telecommunications, can
take advantage of the 28F008SA’s nonvolatility, blocking and minimal system code requirements for flexible
firmware and modular software designs.
The 28F008SA is offered in 40-lead TSOP (standard and reverse) and 44-lead PSOP packages. Pin assignments simplify board layout when integrating multiple devices in a flash memory array or subsystem. This
device uses an integrated Command User Interface and state machine for simplified block erasure and byte
write. The 28F008SA memory map consists of 16 separately erasable 64-Kbyte blocks.
Intel’s 28F008SA employs advanced CMOS circuitry for systems requiring low power consumption and noise
immunity. Its 85 ns access time provides superior performance when compared with magnetic storage media.
A deep powerdown mode lowers power consumption to 1 mW typical thru VCC, crucial in portable computing,
handheld instrumentation and other low-power applications. The RPÝ power control input also provides
absolute data protection during system powerup/down.
Manufactured on Intel’s 0.8 micron ETOX process, the 28F008SA provides the highest levels of quality,
reliability and cost-effectiveness.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 28F008SA is a high-performance 8-Mbit
(8,388,608 bit) memory organized as 1 Mbyte
(1,048,576 bytes) of 8 bits each. Sixteen 64-Kbyte
(65,536 byte) blocks are included on the 28F008SA.
A memory map is shown in Figure 6 of this specification. A block erase operation erases one of the sixteen blocks of memory in typically 1.6 seconds, independent of the remaining blocks. Each block can
be independently erased and written 100,000 cycles. Erase Suspend mode allows system software
to suspend block erase to read data or execute
code from any other block of the 28F008SA.
The 28F008SA is available in the 40-lead TSOP
(Thin Small Outline Package, 1.2 mm thick) and 44lead PSOP (Plastic Small Outline) packages. Pinouts are shown in Figures 2 and 4 of this specification.
The Command User Interface serves as the interface between the microprocessor or microcontroller
and the internal operation of the 28F008SA.
Byte Write and Block Erase Automation allow
byte write and block erase operations to be executed using a two-write command sequence to the
Command User Interface. The internal Write State
Machine (WSM) automatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for byte write and
block erase operations, including verifications,
thereby unburdening the microprocessor or microcontroller. Writing of memory data is performed in
byte increments typically within 9 ms, an 80% improvement over current flash memory products. IPP
byte write and block erase currents are 10 mA
typical, 30 mA maximum. VPP byte write and
block erase voltage is 11.4V to 12.6V.
2
The Status Register indicates the status of the
WSM and when the WSM successfully completes
the desired byte write or block erase operation.
The RY/BYÝ output gives an additional indicator of
WSM activity, providing capability for both hardware
signal of status (versus software polling) and status
masking (interrupt masking for background erase,
for example). Status polling using RY/BYÝ minimizes both CPU overhead and system power consumption. When low, RY/BYÝ indicates that the
WSM is performing a block erase or byte write operation. RY/BYÝ high indicates that the WSM is ready
for new commands, block erase is suspended or the
device is in deep powerdown mode.
Maximum access time is 85 ns (tACC) over the commercial temperature range (0§ C to a 70§ C) and over
VCC supply voltage range (4.5V to 5.5V and 4.75V to
5.25V). ICC active current (CMOS Read) is 20 mA
typical, 35 mA maximum at 8 MHz.
When the CEÝ and RPÝ pins are at VCC, the ICC
CMOS Standby mode is enabled.
A Deep Powerdown mode is enabled when the
RPÝ pin is at GND, minimizing power consumption
and providing write protection. ICC current in deep
powerdown is 0.20 mA typical. Reset time of 400 ns
is required from RPÝ switching high until outputs are
valid to read attempts. Equivalently, the device has a
wake time of 1 ms from RPÝ high until writes to the
Command User Interface are recognized by the
28F008SA. With RPÝ at GND, the WSM is reset
and the Status Register is cleared.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
FFFFF
The 28F008SA includes on-chip write automation to
manage write and erase functions. The Write State
Machine allows for 100% TTL-level control inputs,
fixed power supplies during block erasure and byte
write, and minimal processor overhead with RAMlike interface timings.
After initial device powerup, or after return from
deep powerdown mode (see Bus Operations), the
28F008SA functions as a read-only memory. Manipulation of external memory-control pins allow array
read, standby and output disable operations. Both
Status Register and intelligent identifiers can also be
accessed through the Command User Interface
when VPP e VPPL.
This same subset of operations is also available
when high voltage is applied to the VPP pin. In addition, high voltage on VPP enables successful block
erasure and byte writing of the device. All functions
associated with altering memory contentsÐbyte
write, block erase, status and intelligent identifierÐ
are accessed via the Command User Interface and
verified thru the Status Register.
Commands are written using standard microprocessor write timings. Command User Interface contents
serve as input to the WSM, which controls the block
erase and byte write circuitry. Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed for byte write
or block erase operations. With the appropriate command written to the register, standard microprocessor read timings output array data, access the intelligent identifier codes, or output byte write and block
erase status for verification.
Interface software to initiate and poll progress of internal byte write and block erase can be stored in
any of the 28F008SA blocks. This code is copied to,
and executed from, system RAM during actual flash
memory update. After successful completion of byte
write and/or block erase, code/data reads from the
28F008SA are again possible via the Read Array
command. Erase suspend/resume capability allows
system software to suspend block erase to read
data and execute code from any other block.

Command User Interface and Write
Automation
An on-chip state machine controls block erase and
byte write, freeing the system processor for other
tasks. After receiving the Erase Setup and Erase
Confirm commands, the state machine controls
block pre-conditioning and erase, returning progress
via the Status Register and RY/BYÝ output. Byte
write is similarly controlled, after destination address
and expected data are supplied. The program and
erase algorithms of past Intel flash memories are
now regulated by the state machine, including pulse
repetition where required and internal verification
and margining of data.

28F008SA
The first task is to write the appropriate read mode
command to the Command User Interface (array, intelligent identifier, or Status Register). The
28F008SA automatically resets to Read Array mode
upon initial device powerup or after exit from deep
powerdown. The 28F008SA has four control pins,
two of which must be logically active to obtain data
at the outputs. Chip Enable (CEÝ) is the device selection control, and when active enables the selected memory device. Output Enable (OEÝ) is the data
input/output (DQ0 –DQ7) direction control, and when
active drives data from the selected memory onto
the I/O bus. RPÝ and WEÝ must also be at VIH.
Figure 10 illustrates read bus cycle waveforms.
Data Protection
Depending on the application, the system designer
may choose to make the VPP power supply switchable (available only when memory byte writes/block
erases are required) or hardwired to VPPH. When
VPP e VPPL, memory contents cannot be altered.
The 28F008SA Command User Interface architecture provides protection from unwanted byte write or
block erase operations even when high voltage is
applied to VPP. Additionally, all functions are disabled whenever VCC is below the write lockout voltage VLKO, or when RPÝ is at VIL. The 28F008SA
accommodates either design practice and encourages optimization of the processor-memory interface.
Output Disable
The two-step byte write/block erase Command User
Interface write sequence provides additional software write protection.
With OEÝ at a logic-high level (VIH), the device outputs are disabled. Output pins (DQ0 –DQ7) are
placed in a high-impedance state.
BUS OPERATION
Standby
Flash memory reads, erases and writes in-system
via the local CPU. All bus cycles to or from the flash
memory conform to standard microprocessor bus
cycles.
CEÝ at a logic-high level (VIH) places the 28F008SA
in standby mode. Standby operation disables much
of the 28F008SA’s circuitry and substantially reduces device power consumption. The outputs (DQ0 –
DQ7) are placed in a high-impedence state independent of the status of OEÝ. If the 28F008SA is deselected during block erase or byte write, the device
will continue functioning and consuming normal active power until the operation completes.
Read
The 28F008SA has three read modes. The memory
can be read from any of its blocks, and information
can be read from the intelligent identifier or Status
Register. VPP can be at either VPPL or VPPH.

28F008SA
Deep Power-Down
The 28F008SA offers a deep power-down feature,
entered when RPÝ is at VIL. Current draw thru VCC
is 0.20 mA typical in deep power-down mode, with
current draw through VPP typically 0.1 mA. During
read modes, RPÝ-low deselects the memory,
places output drivers in a high-impedence state and
turns off all internal circuits. The 28F008SA requires
time tPHQV (see AC Characteristics-Read-Only Operations) after return from powerdown until initial
memory access outputs are valid. After this wakeup
interval, normal operation is restored. The Command User Interface is reset to Read Array, and the
upper 5 bits of the Status Register are cleared to
value 10000, upon return to normal operation.
During block erase or byte write modes, RPÝ low
will abort either operation. Memory contents of the
block being altered are no longer valid as the data
will be partially written or erased. Time tPHWL after
RPÝ goes to logic-high (VIH) is required before another command can be written.
This use of RPÝ during system reset is important
with automated write/erase devices. When the system comes out of reset it expects to read from the
flash memory. Automated flash memories provide
status information when accessed during write/
erase modes. If a CPU reset occurs with no flash
memory reset, proper CPU initialization would not
occur because the flash memory would be providing
the status information instead of array data. Intel’s
Flash Memories allow proper CPU initialization following a system reset through the use of the RPÝ
input. In this application RPÝ is controlled by the
same RESETÝ signal that resets the system CPU.
Intelligent Identifier Operation
The intelligent identifier operation outputs the manufacturer code, 89H; and the device code, A2H for
the 28F008SA. The system CPU can then automatically match the device with its proper block erase
and byte write algorithms.
The manufacturer- and device-codes are read via
the Command User Interface. Following a write of
90H to the Command User Interface, a read from
address location 00000H outputs the manufacturer
code (89H). A read from address 00001H outputs
the device code (A2H). It is not necessary to have
high voltage applied to VPP to read the intelligent
identifiers from the Command User Interface.

28F008SA
Write
COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writes to the Command User Interface enable reading of device data and Intelligent Identifiers. They
also control inspection and clearing of the Status
Register. Additionally, when VPP e VPPH, the Command User Interface controls block erasure and byte
write. The contents of the interface register serve as
input to the internal state machine.
When VPPL is applied to the VPP pin, read operations from the Status Register, intelligent identifiers,
or array blocks are enabled. Placing VPPH on VPP
enables successful byte write and block erase operations as well.
The Command User Interface itself does not occupy
an addressable memory location. The interface register is a latch used to store the command and address and data information needed to execute the
command. Erase Setup and Erase Confirm commands require both appropriate command data and
an address within the block to be erased. The Byte
Write Setup command requires both appropriate
command data and the address of the location to be
written, while the Byte Write command consists of
the data to be written and the address of the location to be written.
The Command User Interface is written by bringing
WEÝ to a logic-low level (VIL) while CEÝ is low.
Addresses and data are latched on the rising edge
of WEÝ. Standard microprocessor write timings are
used.
Device operations are selected by writing specific
commands into the Command User Interface. Table
3 defines the 28F008SA commands.
Read Array Command
Upon initial device powerup and after exit from deep
powerdown mode, the 28F008SA defaults to Read
Array mode. This operation is also initiated by writing
FFH into the Command User Interface. Microprocessor read cycles retrieve array data. The device remains enabled for reads until the Command User
Interface contents are altered. Once the internal
Write State Machine has started a block erase or
byte write operation, the device will not recognize
the Read Array command, until the WSM has completed its operation. The Read Array command is
functional when VPP e VPPL or VPPH.
Refer to AC Write Characteristics and the AC Waveforms for Write Operations, Figure 11, for specific
timing parameters.

NOTES:
RY/BYÝ or the Write State Machine Status bit must first
be checked to determine byte write or block erase completion, before the Byte Write or Erase Status bit are
checked for success.
If the Byte Write AND Erase Status bits are set to ‘‘1’’s
during a block erase attempt, an improper command sequence was entered. Attempt the operation again.
If VPP low status is detected, the Status Register must be
cleared before another byte write or block erase operation is attempted.
The VPP Status bit, unlike an A/D converter, does not
provide continuous indication of VPP level. The WSM interrogates the VPP level only after the byte write or block
erase command sequences have been entered and informs the system if VPP has not been switched on. The
VPP Status bit is not guaranteed to report accurate feedback between VPPL and VPPH.
28F008SA
Intelligent Identifier Command
The 28F008SA contains an Intelligent Identifier operation, initiated by writing 90H into the Command
User Interface. Following the command write, a read
cycle from address 00000H retrieves the manufacturer code of 89H. A read cycle from address
00001H returns the device code of A2H. To terminate the operation, it is necessary to write another
valid command into the register. Like the Read Array
command, the Intelligent Identifier command is functional when VPP e VPPL or VPPH.
Read Status Register Command
The 28F008SA contains a Status Register which
may be read to determine when a byte write or block
erase operation is complete, and whether that operation completed successfully. The Status Register
may be read at any time by writing the Read Status
Register command (70H) to the Command User Interface. After writing this command, all subsequent
read operations output data from the Status Register, until another valid command is written to the
Command User Interface. The contents of the
Status Register are latched on the falling edge of
OEÝ or CEÝ, whichever occurs last in the read cycle. OEÝ or CEÝ must be toggled to VIH before
further reads to update the Status Register latch.
The Read Status Register command functions when
VPP e VPPL or VPPH.
Clear Status Register Command
The Erase Status and Byte Write Status bits are set
to ‘‘1’’s by the Write State Machine and can only be
reset by the Clear Status Register Command. These
bits indicate various failure conditions (see Table 4).
By allowing system software to control the resetting
of these bits, several operations may be performed
(such as cumulatively writing several bytes or erasing multiple blocks in sequence). The Status Register may then be polled to determine if an error occurred during that sequence. This adds flexibility to
the way the device may be used.
Additionally, the VPP Status bit (SR.3) MUST be reset by system software before further byte writes or
block erases are attempted. To clear the Status
Register, the Clear Status Register command (50H)
is written to the Command User Interface. The Clear
Status Register command is functional when VPP e
VPPL or VPPH.
Erase Setup/Erase Confirm
Commands
Erase is executed one block at a time, initiated by a
two-cycle command sequence. An Erase Setup
command (20H) is first written to the Command User
Interface, followed by the Erase Confirm command
(D0H). These commands require both appropriate
sequencing and an address within the block to be
erased to FFH. Block preconditioning, erase and
verify are all handled internally by the Write State
Machine, invisible to the system. After the two-command erase sequence is written to it, the 28F008SA
automatically outputs Status Register data when
read (see Figure 8; Block Erase Flowchart). The
CPU can detect the completion of the erase event
by analyzing the output of the RY/BYÝ pin, or the
WSM Status bit of the Status Register.
When erase is completed, the Erase Status bit
should be checked. If erase error is detected, the
Status Register should be cleared. The Command
User Interface remains in Read Status Register
mode until further commands are issued to it.
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by execution ensures that memory contents are not accidentally erased. Also, reliable block erasure can only
occur when VPP e VPPH. In the absence of this high
voltage, memory contents are protected against erasure. If block erase is attempted while VPP e VPPL,
the VPP Status bit will be set to ‘‘1’’. Erase attempts
while VPPL k VPP k VPPH produce spurious results
and should not be attempted.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
Commands
The Erase Suspend command allows block erase
interruption in order to read data from another block
of memory. Once the erase process starts, writing
the Erase Suspend command (B0H) to the Command User Interface requests that the WSM suspend the erase sequence at a predetermined point
in the erase algorithm. The 28F008SA continues to
output Status Register data when read, after the
Erase Suspend command is written to it. Polling the
WSM Status and Erase Suspend Status bits will determine when the erase operation has been suspended (both will be set to ‘‘1’’). RY/BYÝ will also
transition to VOH.
At this point, a Read Array command can be written
to the Command User Interface to read data from
blocks other than that which is suspended. The only
other valid commands at this time are Read Status
Register (70H) and Erase Resume (D0H), at which
time the WSM will continue with the erase process.
The Erase Suspend Status and WSM Status bits of
the Status Register will be automatically cleared and
RY/BYÝ will return to VOL. After the Erase Resume
command is written to it, the 28F008SA automatically outputs Status Register data when read (see Figure 9; Erase Suspend/Resume Flowchart). VPP
must remain at VPPH while the 28F008SA is in Erase
Suspend.
13
28F008SA
Byte Write Setup/Write Commands
(40H or 10H)
Byte write is executed by a two-command sequence.
The Byte Write Setup command (40H or 10H) is written to the Command User Interface, followed by a
second write specifying the address and data
(latched on the rising edge of WEÝ) to be written.
The WSM then takes over, controlling the byte write
and write verify algorithms internally. After the twocommand byte write sequence is written to it, the
28F008SA automatically outputs Status Register
data when read (see Figure 7; Byte Write Flowchart).
The CPU can detect the completion of the byte write
event by analyzing the output of the RY/BYÝ pin, or
the WSM Status bit of the Status Register. Only the
Read Status Register command is valid while byte
write is active.
When byte write is complete, the Byte Write Status
bit should be checked. If byte write error is detected,
the Status Register should be cleared. The internal
WSM verify only detects errors for ‘‘1’’s that do not
successfully write to ‘‘0’’s. The Command User Interface remains in Read Status Register mode until
further commands are issued to it. If byte write is
attempted while VPP e VPPL, the VPP Status bit will
be set to ‘‘1’’. Byte write attempts while VPPL k VPP
k VPPH produce spurious results and should not be
attempted.
EXTENDED BLOCK ERASE/BYTE
WRITE CYCLING
Intel has designed extended cycling capability into
its ETOX flash memory technologies. The
28F008SA is designed for 100,000 byte write/block
erase cycles on each of the sixteen 64-Kbyte
blocks. Low electric fields, advanced oxides and
minimal oxide area per cell subjected to the tunneling electric field combine to greatly reduce oxide
stress and the probability of failure. A 20-Mbyte solid-state drive using an array of 28F008SAs has a
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of 33.3 million
hours(1), over 600 times more reliable than equivalent rotating disk technology.
system software flowchart for device byte write. The
entire sequence is performed with VPP at VPPH. Byte
write abort occurs when RPÝ transitions to VIL, or
VPP drops to VPPL. Although the WSM is halted,
byte data is partially written at the location where
byte write was aborted. Block erasure, or a repeat of
byte write, is required to initialize this data to a
known value.
AUTOMATED BLOCK ERASE
As above, the Quick-Erase algorithm of prior Intel
Flash devices is now implemented internally, including all preconditioning of block data. WSM operation, erase success and VPP high voltage presence
are monitored and reported through RY/BYÝ and
the Status Register. Additionally, if a command other
than Erase Confirm is written to the device following
Erase Setup, both the Erase Status and Byte Write
Status bits will be set to ‘‘1’’s. When issuing the
Erase Setup and Erase Confirm commands, they
should be written to an address within the address
range of the block to be erased. Figure 8 shows a
system software flowchart for block erase.
Erase typically takes 1.6 seconds per block. The
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume command sequence
allows suspension of this erase operation to read
data from a block other than that in which erase is
being performed. A system software flowchart is
shown in Figure 9.
The entire sequence is performed with VPP at VPPH.
Abort occurs when RPÝ transitions to VIL or VPP
falls to VPPL, while erase is in progress. Block data is
partially erased by this operation, and a repeat of
erase is required to obtain a fully erased block.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Three-Line Output Control
AUTOMATED BYTE WRITE
The 28F008SA will often be used in large memory
arrays. Intel provides three control inputs to accommodate multiple memory connections. Three-line
control provides for:
a) lowest possible memory power dissipation
b) complete assurance that data bus contention will
not occur
The 28F008SA integrates the Quick-Pulse programming algorithm of prior Intel Flash devices on-chip,
using the Command User Interface, Status Register
and Write State Machine (WSM). On-chip integration
dramatically simplifies system software and provides
processor interface timings to the Command User
Interface and Status Register. WSM operation, internal verify and VPP high voltage presence are monitored and reported via the RY/BYÝ output and appropriate Status Register bits. Figure 7 shows a
To efficiently use these control inputs, an address
decoder should enable CEÝ, while OEÝ should be
connected to all memory devices and the system’s
READÝ control line. This assures that only selected
memory devices have active outputs while deselected memory devices are in Standby Mode. RPÝ
should be connected to the system Powergood signal to prevent unintended writes during system power transitions. Powergood should also toggle during
system reset.

Power Supply Decoupling
Flash memory power switching characteristics require careful device decoupling. System designers
are interested in 3 supply current issues; standby
current levels (ISB), active current levels (ICC) and
transient peaks produced by falling and rising edges
of CEÝ. Transient current magnitudes depend on
the device outputs’ capacitive and inductive loading.
Two-line control and proper decoupling capacitor
selection will suppress transient voltage peaks.
Each device should have a 0.1 mF ceramic capacitor
connected between each VCC and GND, and between its VPP and GND. These high frequency, low
inherent-inductance capacitors should be placed as
close as possible to package leads. Additionally, for
every 8 devices, a 4.7 mF electrolytic capacitor
should be placed at the array’s power supply connection between VCC and GND. The bulk capacitor
will overcome voltage slumps caused by PC board
trace inductances.
VPP Trace on Printed Circuit Boards
Writing flash memories, while they reside in the target system, requires that the printed circuit board
designer pay attention to the VPP power supply
trace. The VPP pin supplies the memory cell current
for writing and erasing. Use similar trace widths and
layout considerations given to the VCC power bus.
Adequate VPP supply traces and decoupling will decrease VPP voltage spikes and overshoots.
17
28F008SA
VCC, VPP, RPÝ Transitions and the
Command/Status Registers
ensures that the Command User Interface is reset to
the Read Array mode on power up.
Byte write and block erase completion are not guaranteed if VPP drops below VPPH. If the VPP Status bit
of the Status Register (SR.3) is set to ‘‘1’’, a Clear
Status Register command MUST be issued before
further byte write/block erase attempts are allowed
by the WSM. Otherwise, the Byte Write (SR.4) or
Erase (SR.5) Status bits of the Status Register will
be set to ‘‘1’’s if error is detected. RPÝ transitions to
VIL during byte write and block erase also abort the
operations. Data is partially altered in either case,
and the command sequence must be repeated after
normal operation is restored. Device poweroff, or
RPÝ transitions to VIL, clear the Status Register to
initial value 10000 for the upper 5 bits.
A system designer must guard against spurious
writes for VCC voltages above VLKO when VPP is
active. Since both WEÝ and CEÝ must be low for a
command write, driving either to VIH will inhibit
writes. The Command User Interface architecture
provides an added level of protection since alteration of memory contents only occurs after successful completion of the two-step command sequences.
The Command User Interface latches commands as
issued by system software and is not altered by VPP
or CEÝ transitions or WSM actions. Its state upon
powerup, after exit from deep powerdown or after
VCC transitions below VLKO, is Read Array Mode.
After byte write or block erase is complete, even
after VPP transitions down to VPPL, the Command
User Interface must be reset to Read Array mode via
the Read Array command if access to the memory
array is desired.
Power Up/Down Protection
The 28F008SA is designed to offer protection
against accidental block erasure or byte writing during power transitions. Upon power-up, the
28F008SA is indifferent as to which power supply,
VPP or VCC, powers up first. Power supply sequencing is not required. Internal circuitry in the 28F008SA
18
Finally, the device is disabled until RPÝ is brought to
VIH, regardless of the state of its control inputs. This
provides an additional level of memory protection.
Power Dissipation
When designing portable systems, designers must
consider battery power consumption not only during
device operation, but also for data retention during
system idle time. Flash nonvolatility increases usable battery life, because the 28F008SA does not
consume any power to retain code or data when the
system is off.
In addition, the 28F008SA’s deep powerdown mode
ensures extremely low power dissipation even when
system power is applied. For example, portable PCs
and other power sensitive applications, using an array of 28F008SAs for solid-state storage, can lower
RPÝ to VIL in standby or sleep modes, producing
negligable power consumption. If access to the
28F008SA is again needed, the part can again be
read, following the tPHQV and tPHWL wakeup cycles
required after RPÝ is first raised back to VIH. See
AC CharacteristicsÐRead-Only and Write Operations and Figures 10 and 11 for more information.

NOTES:
1. Read timing characteristics during erase and byte write operations are the same as during read-only operations. Refer to
AC Characteristics for Read-Only Operations.
2. Sampled, not 100% tested.
3. Refer to Table 3 for valid AIN for byte write or block erasure.
4. Refer to Table 3 for valid DIN for byte write or block erasure.
5. The on-chip Write State Machine incorporates all byte write and block erase system functions and overhead of standard
Intel flash memory, including byte program and verify (byte write) and block precondition, precondition verify, erase and
erase verify (block erase).
6. Byte write and block erase durations are measured to completion (SR.7 e 1, RY/BYÝ e VOH). VPP should be held at
VPPH until determination of byte write/block erase success (SR.3/4/5 e 0)

NOTES:
1. Chip-Enable Controlled Writes: Write operations are driven by the valid combination of CEÝ and WEÝ. In systems where
CEÝ defines the write pulsewidth (within a longer WEÝ timing waveform), all setup, hold and inactive WEÝ times should be
measured relative to the CEÝ waveform.
