GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV160D is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash
memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes or 1,048,576
words. The device is offered in 48-ball FBGA, 44-pin
SO, and 48-pin TSOP packages. The word-wide data
(x16) appears on DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data
appears on DQ7–DQ0. This device is designed to be
programmed in-system with the standard system 3.0
volt VCC supply. A 12.0 V VPP or 5.0 VCC are not required for write or erase operations. The device can
also
be
programmed
in
standard
EPROM programmers.
The device offers access times of 70, 90, and 120 ns,
allowing high speed microprocessors to operate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the device
has separate chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#)
and output enable (OE#) controls.
The device requires only a single 3.0 volt power supply for both read and write functions. Internally
generated and regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations.
The Am29LV160D 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
that 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 other Flash or EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by executing the program
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded
Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facilitates faster programming times by requiring only two
write cycles to program data instead of four.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase
algorithm—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.
2
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by observing the RY/BY#
pin, or by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6
(toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle
has been completed, the device is ready to read array
data or accept another command.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting
the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
VCC detector that automatically inhibits write operations during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of the sectors of memo r y. T h i s c a n b e a c h i ev e d i n - s y s t e m o r v i a
programming equipment.
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume feature enables
the user to put erase on hold for any period of time to
read data from, or program data to, any sector that is
not selected for erasure. True background erase can
thus be achieved.
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation
in progress and resets the internal state machine to
reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to
the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus
also reset the device, enabling the system microprocessor to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash
memory.
The device offers two power-saving features. When
addresses have been stable for a specified amount of
time, the device enters the automatic sleep mode.
The system can also place the device into the
standby mode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in both these modes.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash
memory manufacturing experience to produce the
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness. The device electrically erases all bits within a
sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The data is programmed using hot electron
injection.

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS
This section describes the requirements and use of
the device bus operations, which are initiated through
the internal command register. The command register
itself does not occupy any addressable memory location. The register is composed of latches that store the
commands, along with the address and data information needed to execute the command. The contents of
Table 1.
the register serve as inputs to the internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the function
of the device. Table 1 lists the device bus operations,
the inputs and control levels they require, and the resulting output. The following subsections describe
each of these operations in further detail.

Notes:
1. Addresses are A19:A0 in word mode (BYTE# = VIH), A19:A-1 in byte mode (BYTE# = VIL).
2. The sector protect and sector unprotect functions may also be implemented via programming equipment. See the “Sector
Protection/Unprotection” section.
Word/Byte Configuration
The BYTE# pin controls whether the device data I/O
pins DQ15–DQ0 operate in the byte or word configuration. If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘1’, the device is in
word configuration, DQ15–DQ0 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#.
If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘0’, the device is in byte
configuration, and only data I/O pins DQ0–DQ7 are
active and controlled by CE# and OE#. The data I/O
pins DQ8–DQ14 are tri-stated, and the DQ15 pin is
used as an input for the LSB (A-1) address function.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outputs, the system must
drive the CE# and OE# pins to VIL. CE# is the power
control and selects the device. OE# is the output control
and gates array data to the output pins. WE# should remain at VIH. The BYTE# pin determines whether the
device outputs array data in words or bytes.
22358B7 May 5, 2006
The internal state machine is set for reading array
data upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This ensures that no spurious alteration of the
memory content occurs during the power transition.
No command is necessary in this mode to obtain
array data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that
assert valid addresses on the device address inputs
produce valid data on the device data outputs. The
device remains enabled for read access until the
command register contents are altered.
See “Reading Array Data” for more information. Refer
to the AC Read Operations table for timing specifications and to Figure 13 for the timing diagram. ICC1 in
the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for reading array data.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To write a command or command sequence (which includes programming data to the device and erasing
Am29LV160D
9
D A T A
sectors of memory), the system must drive WE# and
CE# to VIL, and OE# to VIH.
For program operations, the BYTE# pin determines
whether the device accepts program data in bytes or
words. Refer to “Word/Byte Configuration” for more
information.
The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facilitate faster programming. Once the device enters the
Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles are required to program a word or byte, instead of four. The
“Word/Byte Program Command Sequence” section
has details on programming data to the device using
b o t h s t a n d a r d a n d U n l o ck B y p a s s c o m m a n d
sequences.
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. Tables 2 and 3 indicate the
address space that each sector occupies. A “sector
address” consists of the address bits required to
uniquely select a sector. The “Command Definitions”
section has details on erasing a sector or the entire
chip, or suspending/resuming the erase operation.
After the system writes the autoselect command sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The
system can then read autoselect codes from the internal register (which is separate from the memory array)
on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings apply in
this mode. Refer to the “Autoselect Mode” and “Autoselect Command Sequence” sections for more
information.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for the write mode. The “AC
Characteristics” section contains timing specification
tables and timing diagrams for write operations.
Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system
may check the status of the operation by reading the
status bits on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings
10
S H E E T
and ICC read specifications apply. Refer to “Write Operation Status” for more information, and to “AC
Characteristics” for timing diagrams.
Standby Mode
When the system is not reading or writing to the device, it can place the device in the standby mode. In
this mode, current consumption is greatly reduced,
and the outputs are placed in the high impedance
state, independent of the OE# input.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the
CE# and RESET# pins are both held at VCC ± 0.3 V.
(Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
V IH .) If CE# and RESET# are held at V IH , but not
within VCC ± 0.3 V, the device will be in the standby
mode, but the standby current will be greater. The device requires standard access time (t CE ) for read
access when the device is in either of these standby
modes, before it is ready to read data.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.
In the DC Characteristics table, ICC3 and ICC4 represents the standby current specification.
Automatic Sleep Mode
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device
energy consumption. The device automatically
enables this mode when addresses remain stable for
tACC + 30 ns. The automatic sleep mode is
independent of the CE#, WE#, and OE# control
signals. Standard address access timings provide new
data when addresses are changed. While in sleep
mode, output data is latched and always available to
the system. I CC4 in the DC Characteristics table
repr esen ts th e automatic sleep mo de cu rren t
specification.

RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When the
system drives the RESET# pin to VIL for at least a period of tRP, the device immediately terminates any
operation in progress, tristates all data output pins,
and ignores all read/write attempts for the duration of
the RESET# pulse. The device also resets the internal
state machine to reading array data. The operation
that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is ready to accept another command sequence,
to ensure data integrity.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. When RESET# is held at VSS±0.3 V, the device
draws CMOS standby current (I CC4 ). If RESET# is
held at VIL but not within VSS±0.3 V, the standby current will be greater.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash
22358B7 May 5, 2006
S H E E T
memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a “0” (busy) until the
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a
time of t READY (during Embedded Algorithms). The
system can thus monitor RY/BY# to deter mine
whether the reset operation is complete. If RESET#
is asserted when a program or erase operation is not
executing (RY/BY# pin is “1”), the reset operation is
completed within a time of tREADY (not during Embedded Algorithms). The system can read data tRH after
the RESET# pin returns to VIH.
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# parameters and to Figure 14 for the timing diagram.
Output Disable Mode
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high impedance state.

Autoselect Mode
Table 4. In addition, when verifying sector protection,
the sector address must appear on the appropriate
highest order address bits (see Tables 2 and 3). Table
4 shows the remaining address bits that are don’t
care. When all necessary bits have been set as required, the programming equipment may then read the
corresponding identifier code on DQ7-DQ0.
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This
mode is primarily intended for programming equipm e n t t o a u t o m a t i c a l l y m a t c h a d ev i c e t o b e
programmed with its corresponding programming algorithm. However, the autoselect codes can also be
accessed in-system through the command register.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in Table 9. This method
does not require VID. See “Command Definitions” for
details on using the autoselect mode.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect
mode requires VID (11.5 V to 12.5 V) on address pin
A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in
Table 4.

Sector Protection/Unprotection
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hardware sector unprotection feature re-enables both
program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
AMD offers the option of programming and protecting
sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device
through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an
AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or unprotected. See “Autoselect Mode” for
details.
The primary method requires VID on the RESET# pin
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algorithms and Figure 23 shows the timing diagram. This
method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle timing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected sectors must
first be protected prior to the first sector unprotect
write cycle.
The alternate method intended only for programming

Temporary Sector Unprotect
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously protected sectors to change data in-system. The
Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the RESET# pin to VID. During this mode, formerly protected
sectors can be programmed or erased by selecting the
sector addresses. Once VID is removed from the RESET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are
protected again. Figure shows the algorithm, and Figure 22 shows the timing diagrams, for this feature.

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE
(CFI)
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines device and host system software interrogation
handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified
software algorithms to be used for entire families of
devices. Software support can then be device-independent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and
backward-compatible for the specified flash device
families. Flash vendors can standardize their existing
interfaces for long-term compatibility.
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the system writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to address
55h in word mode (or address AAh in byte mode), any
time the device is ready to read array data. The sysTable 5.
S H E E T
tem can read CFI information at the addresses given
in Tables 5–8. In word mode, the upper address bits
(A7–MSB) must be all zeros. To terminate reading CFI
data, the system must write the reset command.
The system can also write the CFI query command
when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device
enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read
CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 5–8. The
system must write the reset command to return the
device to the autoselect mode.
For further information, please refer to the CFI Specification and CFI Publication 100, available via the World

Description
Hardware Data Protection
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles
for programming or erasing provides data protection
against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 9 for command definitions). In addition, the following hardware
data protection measures prevent accidental erasure
or programming, which might otherwise be caused by
spurious system level signals during VCC power-up
and power-down transitions, or from system noise.
Low VCC Write Inhibit
When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not accept any write cycles. This protects data during VCC
power-up and power-down. The command register
and all internal program/erase circuits are disabled,
and the device resets. Subsequent writes are ignored
until VCC is greater than VLKO. The system must provide the proper signals to the control pins to prevent
unintentional writes when VCC is greater than VLKO.
22358B7 May 5, 2006
Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE#
or WE# do not initiate a write cycle.
Logical Inhibit
Write cycles are 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
If WE# = CE# = VIL and OE# = VIH during power up,
the device does not accept commands on the rising
edge of WE#. The internal state machine is automatically reset to reading array data on power-up.

S H E E T
COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 9 defines the valid register command
sequences. Writing incorrect address and data values or writing them in the improper sequence resets
the device to reading array data.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE#
or CE#, whichever happens later. All data is latched on
the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens
first. Refer to the appropriate timing diagrams in the
“AC Characteristics” section.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array
data after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the device enters the Erase Suspend mode.
The system can read array data using the standard
read timings, except that if it reads at an address
within erase-suspended sectors, the device outputs
status data. After completing a programming operation in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may
once again read array data with the same exception.
See “Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands” for
more information on this mode.
The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes
high, or while in the autoselect mode. See the “Reset
Command” section, next.
See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” in
the “Device Bus Operations” section for more information. The Read Operations table provides the read
parameters, and Figure 13 shows the timing diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command to the device resets the
device to reading array data. Address bits are don’t
care for this command.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase command sequence before
erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array
data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in a program command sequence
before programming begins. This resets the device to
reading array data (also applies to programming in
Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins,
however, the device ignores reset commands until the
operation is complete.
20
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command
must be written to return to reading array data (also
applies to autoselect during Erase Suspend).
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the device to reading array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and devices
codes, and determine whether or not a sector is prot e c t e d . Ta bl e 9 s h ow s t h e a d d r e s s a n d d a t a
requirements. This method is an alternative to that
shown in Table 4, which is intended for PROM programmers and requires VID on address bit A9.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect
command. The device then enters the autoselect
mode, and the system may read at any address any
number of times, without initiating another command
sequence.
A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns the
device code. A read cycle containing a sector address
(SA) and the address 02h in word mode (or 04h in
byte mode) returns 01h if that sector is protected, or
00h if it is unprotected. Refer to Tables 2 and 3 for
valid sector addresses.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.
Word/Byte Program Command Sequence
The system may program the device by word or byte,
depending on the state of the BYTE# pin. Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock
write cycles, followed by the program set-up command. The program address and data are written
next, which in turn initiate the Embedded Program algorithm. The system is not required to provide further
controls or timings. The device automatically generates the program pulses and verifies the programmed
cell margin. Table 9 shows the address and data req u i r e m e n t s fo r t h e by t e p r o gra m c o m m a n d
sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
the device then returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can
determine the status of the program operation by
using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write Operation
Status” for information on these status bits.

Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the programm i n g o p e ra t i o n . T h e B y t e P r o gra m c o m m a n d
sequence should be reinitiated once the device has

Programming is allowed in any sequence and across
sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed
from a “0” back to a “1”. Attempting to do so may
halt the operation and set DQ5 to “1,” or cause the
Data# Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was
successful. However, a succeeding read will show that
the data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert
a “0” to a “1”.

Command Sequence
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program bytes or words to the device faster than using the
standard program command sequence. The unlock
bypass command sequence is initiated by first writing
two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write
cycle containing the unlock bypass command, 20h.
The device then enters the unlock bypass mode. A
two-cycle unlock bypass program command sequence
is all that is required to program in this mode. The first
cycle in this sequence contains the unlock bypass program command, A0h; the second cycle contains the
program address and data. Additional data is programmed in the same manner. This mode dispenses
with the initial two unlock cycles required in the standard program command sequence, resulting in faster
total programming time. Table 9 shows the requirements for the command sequence.

Chip Erase Command Sequence
Chip erase is a six bus cycle operation. The chip erase
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock
cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional
unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase
command, which in turn invokes the Embedded Erase
algorithm. The device does not require the system to
preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire
memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical
erase. The system is not required to provide any controls or timings during these operations. Table 9 shows
22358B7 May 5, 2006
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded Erase algor ithm are ignored . Note that a
hardware reset during the chip erase operation immediately terminates the operation. The Chip Erase
command sequence should be reinitiated once the device has returned to reading array data, to ensure data
integrity.
The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY#. See
“Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is
complete, the device returns to reading array data and
addresses are no longer latched.

Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. See the Erase/Program Operations tables in “AC
Characteristics” for parameters, and to Figure 18 for
timing diagrams.
Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two
unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock write cycles are then followed by the
address of the sector to be erased, and the sector
erase command. Table 9 shows the address and data
r e q u i r e m e n t s fo r t h e s e c t o r e r a s e c o m m a n d
sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram
the memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically programs and verifies the sector
for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase.
The system is not required to provide any controls or
timings during these operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase
time-out of 50 µs begins. During the time-out period,
additional sector addresses and sector erase commands may be written. Loading the sector erase buffer
may be done in any sequence, and the number of sectors may be from one sector to all sectors. The time
between these additional cycles must be less than 50
µs, otherwise the last address and command might
not be accepted, and erasure may begin. It is recommended that processor interrupts be disabled during
this time to ensure all commands are accepted. The
interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector
Erase command is written. If the time between additional sector erase commands can be assumed to be
less than 50 µs, the system need not monitor DQ3.
Any command other than Sector Erase or Erase
Suspend during the time-out period resets the device to reading array data. The system must rewrite
the command sequence and any additional sector addresses and commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector erase timer has timed out. (See the “DQ3: Sector
Erase Timer” section.) The time-out begins from the
rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other commands are ignored. Note that a hardware reset
during the sector erase operation immediately terminates the operation. The Sector Erase command
sequence should be reinitiated once the device has returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading array data and addresses
are no longer latched. The system can determine the
22
S H E E T
status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6,
DQ2, or RY/BY#. (Refer to “Write Operation Status” for
information on these status bits.)
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer to the Erase/Program Operations tables in
the “AC Characteristics” section for parameters, and to
Figure 18 for timing diagrams.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
Commands
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to interrupt a sector erase operation and then read data
from, or program data to, any sector not selected for
erasure. This command is valid only during the sector
erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out period
during the sector erase command sequence. The
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algorithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the
time-out period and suspends the erase operation. Addresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase
Suspend command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a
sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation.
However, when the Erase Suspend command is written during the sector erase time-out, the device
immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase operation.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the
system can read array data from or program data to
any sector not selected for erasure. (The device “erase
suspends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Normal
read and write timings and command definitions apply.
Reading at any address within erase-suspended sectors produces status data on DQ7–DQ0. The system
can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine
if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended.
See “Write Operation Status” for information on these
status bits.
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, the system can once again read array data
within non-suspended sectors. The system can determine the status of the program operation using the
DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard program operation. See “Write Operation Status” for more
information.
The system may also write the autoselect command
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend
mode. The device allows reading autoselect codes
even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the
codes are not stored in the memory array. When the
device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to
the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another

for more information.

The system must write the Erase Resume command
(address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase suspend mode and continue the sector erase operation.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7,
and RY/BY#. Table 10 and the following subsections
describe the functions of these bits. DQ7, RY/BY#,
and DQ6 each offer a method for determining whether
a program or erase operation is complete or in
progress. These three bits are discussed first.
Table 10 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.
Figure 5 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.
START
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or
completed, or whether the device is in Erase Suspend.
Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final
WE# pulse in the program or erase command
sequence.
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device
outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum programmed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to
programming during Erase Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device
outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The system
must provide the program address to read valid status
information on DQ7. If a program address falls within a
protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for
approximately 1 µs, then the device returns to reading
array data.
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
DQ7 = Data?
No
No
DQ5 = 1?
Yes
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling
produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase
algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase
Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7.
This is analogous to the complement/true datum output described for the Embedded Program algorithm:
the erase function changes all the bits in a sector to
“1”; prior to this, the device outputs the “complement,”
or “0.” The system must provide an address within any
of the sectors selected for erasure to read valid status
information on DQ7.
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
After an erase command sequence is written, if all
sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 µs, then the
device returns to reading array data. If not all selected
sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algorithm
erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are protected.
FAIL
When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the
complement to true data, it can read valid data at
DQ7–DQ0 on the following read cycles. This is because DQ7 may change asynchronously with DQ0–
DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is asserted low. Figure

Notes:
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector
erase operation, a valid address is an address within
any sector selected for erasure. During chip erase, a
valid address is any non-protected sector address.
2. DQ7 should be rechecked even if DQ5 = “1” because
DQ7 may change simultaneously with DQ5.

D A T A
RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that
indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in
progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after
the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence. Since RY/BY# is an open-drain output, several RY/BY# pins can be tied together in parallel with a
pull-up resistor to VCC. (The RY/BY# pin is not available on the 44-pin SO package.)
If the output is low (Busy), the device is actively erasing or programming. (This includes programming in
the Erase Suspend mode.) If the output is high
(Ready), the device is ready to read array data (including during the Erase Suspend mode), or is in the
standby mode.
Table 10 shows the outputs for RY/BY#. Figures 13,
14, 17 and 18 shows RY/BY# for read, reset, program,
and erase operations, respectively.
DQ6: Toggle Bit I
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded
Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete, or whether the device has entered the Erase
Suspend mode. Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid after the rising edge of the final
WE# pulse in the command sequence (prior to the
program or erase operation), and during the sector
erase time-out.
During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm operation, successive read cycles to any address cause
DQ6 to toggle. (The system may use either OE# or
CE# to control the read cycles.) When the operation is
complete, DQ6 stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all
sectors selected for erasing are protected, DQ6 toggles for approximately 100 µs, then returns to reading
array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the
Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected
sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are
protected.
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine whether a sector is actively erasing or is erasesuspended. When the device is actively erasing (that
is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), DQ6
toggles. When the device enters the Erase Suspend
mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system must
also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are erasing
or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the system can use
DQ7 (see the subsection on “DQ7: Data# Polling”).
If a program address falls within a protected sector,
DQ6 toggles for approximately 1 µs after the program
command sequence is written, then returns to reading
array data.
26
S H E E T
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Program algorithm is complete.
Table 10 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart
form, and the section “Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2”
explains the algorithm. Figure 20 in the “AC Characteristics” section shows the toggle bit timing diagrams.
Figure 21 shows the differences between DQ2 and
DQ6 in graphical form. See also the subsection on
“DQ2: Toggle Bit II”.
DQ2: Toggle Bit II
The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indicates whether a particular sector is actively erasing
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
or whether that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit
II is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in
the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses
within those sectors that have been selected for erasure. (The system may use either OE# or CE# to
control the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish
whether the sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. DQ6, by comparison, indicates whether the
device is actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but
cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and
mode information. Refer to Table 10 to compare outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart
form, and the section “Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2”
explains the algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I
subsection. Figure 20 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure 21 shows the differences between DQ2
and DQ6 in graphical form.
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2
Refer to Figure 6 for the following discussion. Whenever the system initially begins reading toggle bit
status, it must read DQ7–DQ0 at least twice in a row
to determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the system would note and store the value of
the toggle bit after the first read. After the second
read, the system would compare the new value of the
toggle bit with the first. If the toggle bit is not toggling,
the device has completed the program or erase operation. The system can read array data on DQ7–DQ0
on the following read cycle.
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the system also should note whether the value of DQ5 is high
(see the section on DQ5). If it is, the system should
then determine again whether the toggle bit is toggling, since the toggle bit may have stopped toggling
just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer
Am29LV160D

D A T A
S H E E T
toggling, the device has successfully completed the
program or erase operation. If it is still toggling, the device did not complete the operation successfully, and
the system must write the reset command to return to
reading array data.
START
The remaining scenario is that the system initially determines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ5 has
not gone high. The system may continue to monitor
the toggle bit and DQ5 through successive read cycles, determining the status as described in the
previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to
perform other system tasks. In this case, the system
must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it returns to determine the status of the operation (top of
Figure 6).

DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has
exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit. Under
these conditions DQ5 produces a “1.” This is a failure
condition that indicates the program or erase cycle
was not successfully completed.
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system
tries to program a “1” to a location that is previously
programmed to “0.” Only an erase operation can
change a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the
device halts the operation, and when the operation
has exceeded the timing limits, DQ5 produces a “1.”
Under both these conditions, the system must issue
the reset command to return the device to reading
array data.
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not an
erase operation has begun. (The sector erase timer
does not apply to the chip erase command.) If addiTable 10.
Erase
Suspend
Mode
After the sector erase command sequence is written,
the system should read the status on DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6 (Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device has
accepted the command sequence, and then read
DQ3. If DQ3 is “1”, the internally controlled erase cycle
has begun; all further commands (other than Erase
Suspend) are ignored until the erase operation is complete. If DQ3 is “0”, the device will accept additional
sector erase commands. To ensure 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 is high on the second
status check, the last command might not have been
accepted. Table 10 shows the outputs for DQ3.

tional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire timeout also applies after each additional sector erase command. When the time-out is complete, DQ3 switches
from “0” to “1.” The system may ignore DQ3 if the system can guarantee that the time between additional
sector erase commands will always be less than 50
μs. See also the “Sector Erase Command Sequence”
section.

Notes:
1. DQ5 switches to ‘1’ when an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase operation has exceeded the maximum timing limits.
See “DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits” for more information.
2. DQ7 and DQ2 require a valid address when reading status information. Refer to the appropriate subsection for further
details.

Comments
Excludes 00h programming
prior to erasure (Note 4)
Excludes system level
overhead (Note 5)
Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 3.0 V VCC, 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally,
programming typicals assume checkerboard pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 2.7 V, 1,000,000 cycles.
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes
program faster than the maximum program times listed.
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure.
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the two- or four-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See Table 9
for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
