1 INTRODUCTION
This datasheet contains the product specifications. Section
1 provides a flash memory overview. Sections 2, 3, 4 and
5 describe the memory organization and functionality.
Section 6 covers electrical specifications.
1.1 Features
Key enhancements of the product are:
•Single low voltage operation
•Low power consumption
•Enhanced Suspend Capabilities
•Boot Block Architecture
3
A block erase operation erases one of the device’s 32Kword/64K-byte blocks typically within 1.2s (3V VCC, 3V
VCCW), 4K-word/8K-byte blocks typically within 0.6s (3V
VCC, 3V VCCW) independent of other blocks. Each block
can be independently erased minimum 100,000 times.
Block erase suspend mode allows system software to
suspend block erase to read or write data from any other
block.
Writing memory data is performed in word/byte
increments of the device’s 32K-word blocks typically
within 33µs (3V VCC, 3V VCCW), 64K-byte blocks
typically within 31µs (3V VCC, 3V VCCW), 4K-word
blocks typically within 36µs (3V VCC, 3V VCCW), 8Kbyte blocks typically within 32µs (3V VCC, 3V VCCW).
Word/byte write suspend mode enables the system to read
data or execute code from any other flash memory array
location.
Please note following:
•VCCWLK has been lowered to 1.0V to support 2.7V3.6V block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write and
lock-bit configuration operations. The VCCW voltage
transitions to GND is recommended for designs that
switch VCCW off during read operation.
1.2 Product Overview
The product is a high-performance 8M-bit Boot Block
Flash memory organized as 512K-word of 16 bits or 1Mbyte of 8 bits. The 512K-word/1M-byte of data is arranged
in two 4K-word/8K-byte boot blocks, six 4K-word/8Kbyte parameter blocks and fifteen 32K-word/64K-byte
main blocks which are individually erasable, lockable and
unlockable in-system. The memory map is shown in
Figure 3.
The dedicated VCCW pin gives complete data protection
when VCCW≤VCCWLK.
A Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the interface
between the system processor and internal operation of the
device. A valid command sequence written to the CUI
initiates device automation. An internal Write State
Machine (WSM) automatically executes the algorithms
and timings necessary for block erase, full chip erase,
word/byte write and lock-bit configuration operations.
Individual block locking uses a combination of bits, thirtynine block lock-bits, a permanent lock-bit and WP# pin, to
lock and unlock blocks. Block lock-bits gate block erase,
full chip erase and word/byte write operations, while the
permanent lock-bit gates block lock-bit modification and
locked block alternation. Lock-bit configuration
operations (Set Block Lock-Bit, Set Permanent Lock-Bit
and Clear Block Lock-Bits commands) set and cleared
lock-bits.
The status register indicates when the WSM’s block erase,
full chip erase, word/byte write or lock-bit configuration
operation is finished.
The RY/BY# output gives an additional indicator of WSM
activity by providing both a hardware signal of status
(versus software polling) and status masking (interrupt
masking for background block erase, for example). Status
polling using RY/BY# minimizes both CPU overhead and
system power consumption. When low, RY/BY# indicates
that the WSM is performing a block erase, full chip erase,
word/byte write or lock-bit configuration. RY/BY#-high Z
indicates that the WSM is ready for a new command,
block erase is suspended (and word/byte write is
inactive), word/byte write is suspended, or the device is in
reset mode.

The access time is 90ns (tAVQV) over the operating
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and VCC supply
voltage range of 2.7V-3.6V.
1.3 Product Description
The Automatic Power Savings (APS) feature substantially
reduces active current when the device is in static mode
(addresses not switching). In APS mode, the typical ICCR
current is 2µA (CMOS) at 3.0V VCC.
The product is available in 48-ball CSP package (see
Figure 2).
When CE# and RP# pins are at VCC, the ICC CMOS
standby mode is enabled. When the RP# pin is at GND,
reset mode is enabled which minimizes power
consumption and provides write protection. A reset time
(tPHQV) is required from RP# switching high until outputs
are valid. Likewise, the device has a wake time (tPHEL)
from RP#-high until writes to the CUI are recognized.
With RP# at GND, the WSM is reset and the status
register is cleared.
Please do not execute reprogramming "0" for the bit which
has already been programed "0". Overwrite operation may
generate unerasable bit. In case of reprogramming "0" to
the data which has been programed "1".
·Program "0" for the bit in which you want to change
data from "1" to "0".
·Program "1" for the bit which has already been
programmed "0".
For example, changing data from "10111101" to
"10111100" requires "11111110" programming.
1.3.1 Package Pinout
1.3.2 Block Organization
This product features an asymmetrically-blocked
architecture providing system memory integration. Each
erase block can be erased independently of the others up to
100,000 times. For the address locations of the blocks, see
the memory map in Figure 3.
Boot Blocks: The boot block is intended to replace a
dedicated boot PROM in a microprocessor or
microcontroller-based system. This boot block 4K words
(4,096words) features hardware controllable writeprotection to protect the crucial microprocessor boot code
from accidental modification. The protection of the boot
block is controlled using a combination of the VCCW, RP#,
WP# pins and block lock-bit.
Parameter Blocks: The boot block architecture includes
parameter blocks to facilitate storage of frequently update
small parameters that would normally require an
EEPROM. By using software techniques, the word-rewrite
functionality of EEPROMs can be emulated. Each boot
block component contains six parameter blocks of 4K
words (4,096 words) each. The protection of the parameter
block is controlled using a combination of the VCCW, RP#
and block lock-bit.
Main Blocks: The reminder is divided into main blocks for
data or code storage. Each 8M-bit device contains fifteen
32K words (32,768 words) blocks. The protection of the
main block is controlled using a combination of the
VCCW, RP# and block lock-bit.

Table 1. Pin Descriptions
Name and Function
ADDRESS INPUTS: Inputs for addresses during read and write operations. Addresses are
internally latched during a write cycle.
A-1: Lower address input while BYTE# is VIL. A-1 pin changes DQ15 pin while BYTE# is VIH.
A15-A18: Main Block Address.
A12-A18: Boot and Parameter Block Address.
DATA INPUT/OUTPUTS: Inputs data and commands during CUI write cycles; outputs data
during memory array, status register and identifier code read cycles. Data pins float to highimpedance when the chip is deselected or outputs are disabled. Data is internally latched during a
write cycle. DQ8-DQ15 pins are not used while byte mode (BYTE#=VIL). Then, DQ15 pin
changes A-1 address input.
CHIP ENABLE: Activates the device’s control logic, input buffers, decoders and sense amplifiers.
CE#-high deselects the device and reduces power consumption to standby levels.
RESET: Resets the device internal automation. RP#-high enables normal operation. When driven
low, RP# inhibits write operations which provides data protection during power transitions. Exit
from reset mode sets the device to read array mode. RP# must be VIL during power-up.
OUTPUT ENABLE: Gates the device’s outputs during a read cycle.
WRITE ENABLE: Controls writes to the CUI and array blocks. Addresses and data are latched on
the rising edge of the WE# pulse.
WRITE PROTECT: When WP# is VIL, boot blocks cannot be written or erased. When WP# is
VIH, locked boot blocks can not be written or erased. WP# is not affected parameter and main
blocks.
BYTE ENABLE: BYTE# VIL places device in byte mode (×8). All data is then input or output on
DQ0-7, and DQ8-15 float. BYTE# VIH places the device in word mode (×16), and turns off the A-1
input buffer.
READY/BUSY#: Indicates the status of the internal WSM. When low, the WSM is performing an
internal operation (block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or lock-bit configuration).
RY/BY#-high Z indicates that the WSM is ready for new commands, block erase is suspended,
and word/byte write is inactive, word/byte write is suspended, or the device is in reset mode.
BLOCK ERASE, FULL CHIP ERASE, WORD/BYTE WRITE OR LOCK-BIT
CONFIGURATION POWER SUPPLY: For erasing array blocks, writing words/bytes or
configuring lock-bits. With VCCW≤VCCWLK, memory contents cannot be altered. Block erase, full
chip erase, word/byte write and lock-bit configuration with an invalid VCCW (see 6.2.3 DC
Characteristics) produce spurious results and should not be attempted. Applying 12V±0.3V to
VCCW during erase/write can only be done for a maximum of 1000 cycles on each block. VCCW
may be connected to 12V±0.3V for a total of 80 hours maximum.
DEVICE POWER SUPPLY: Do not float any power pins. With VCC≤VLKO, all write attempts to
the flash memory are inhibited. Device operations at invalid VCC voltage (see 6.2.3 DC
Characteristics) produce spurious results and should not be attempted.
GROUND: Do not float any ground pins.
NO CONNECT: Lead is not internal connected; it may be driven or floated.

2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The product includes an on-chip WSM to manage block
erase, full chip erase, word/byte write and lock-bit
configuration functions. It allows for: fixed power supplies
during block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write and
lock-bit configuration, and minimal processor overhead
with RAM-like interface timings.
After initial device power-up or return from reset mode
(see section 3 Bus Operations), the device defaults to read
array mode. Manipulation of external memory control pins
allow array read, standby and output disable operations.
Status register and identifier codes can be accessed
through the CUI independent of the VCCW voltage. High
voltage on VCCW enables successful block erase, full chip
erase, word/byte write and lock-bit configurations. All
functions associated with altering memory contents−block
erase, full chip erase, word/byte write, lock-bit
configuration, status and identifier codes−are accessed via
the CUI and verified through the status register.
Commands are written using standard microprocessor
write timings. The CUI contents serve as input to the
WSM, which controls the block erase, full chip erase,
word/byte write and lock-bit configuration. The internal
algorithms are regulated by the WSM, including pulse
repetition, internal verification and margining of data.
Addresses and data are internally latched during write
cycles. Writing the appropriate command outputs array
data, accesses the identifier codes or outputs status register
data.
Interface software that initiates and polls progress of block
erase, full chip erase, word/byte write and lock-bit
configuration can be stored in any block. This code is
copied to and executed from system RAM during flash
memory updates. After successful completion, reads are
again possible via the Read Array command. Block erase
suspend allows system software to suspend a block erase
to read/write data from/to blocks other than that which is
suspend. Word/byte write suspend allows system software
to suspend a word/byte write to read data from any other
flash memory array location.

2.1 Data Protection
3.3 Standby
When VCCW≤VCCWLK, memory contents cannot be
altered. The CUI, with two-step block erase, full chip
erase, word/byte write or lock-bit configuration command
sequences, provides protection from unwanted operations
even when high voltage is applied to VCCW. All write
functions are disabled when VCC is below the write
lockout voltage VLKO or when RP# is at VIL. The device’s
block locking capability provides additional protection
from inadvertent code or data alteration by gating block
erase, full chip erase and word/byte write operations.
Refer to Table 5 for write protection alternatives.
CE# at a logic-high level (VIH) places the device in
standby mode which substantially reduces device power
consumption. DQ0-DQ15 outputs are placed in a highimpedance state independent of OE#. If deselected during
block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or lock-bit
configuration, the device continues functioning, and
consuming active power until the operation completes.
3 BUS OPERATION
In read modes, RP#-low deselects the memory, places
output drivers in a high-impedance state and turns off all
internal circuits. RP# must be held low for a minimum of
100ns. Time tPHQV is required after return from reset
mode until initial memory access outputs are valid. After
this wake-up interval, normal operation is restored. The
CUI is reset to read array mode and status register is set to
80H.
The local CPU reads and writes flash memory in-system.
All bus cycles to or from the flash memory conform to
standard microprocessor bus cycles.
3.1 Read
Information can be read from any block, identifier codes
or status register independent of the VCCW voltage. RP#
can be at VIH.
The first task is to write the appropriate read mode
command (Read Array, Read Identifier Codes or Read
Status Register) to the CUI. Upon initial device power-up
or after exit from reset mode, the device automatically
resets to read array mode. Six control pins dictate the data
flow in and out of the component: CE#, OE#, BYTE#,
WE#, RP# and WP#. CE# and OE# must be driven active
to obtain data at the outputs. CE# is the device selection
control, and when active enables the selected memory
device. OE# is the data output (DQ0-DQ15) control and
when active drives the selected memory data onto the I/O
bus. BYTE# is the device I/O interface mode control.
WE# must be at VIH, RP# must be at VIH, and BYTE#
and WP# must be at VIL or VIH. Figure 16, 17 illustrates
read cycle.
3.2 Output Disable
3.4 Reset
RP# at VIL initiates the reset mode.
During block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or
lock-bit configuration modes, RP#-low will abort the
operation. RY/BY# remains low until the reset operation
is complete. Memory contents being altered are no longer
valid; the data may be partially erased or written. Time
tPHWL is required after RP# goes to logic-high (VIH)
before another command can be written.
As with any automated device, it is important to assert
RP# during system reset. When the system comes out of
reset, it expects to read from the flash memory. Automated
flash memories provide status information when accessed
during block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or
lock-bit configuration modes. If a CPU reset occurs with
no flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization may not
occur because the flash memory may be providing status
information instead of array data. SHARP’s flash
memories allow proper CPU initialization following a
system reset through the use of the RP# input. In this
application, RP# is controlled by the same RESET# signal

With OE# at a logic-high level (VIH), the device outputs

3.5 Read Identifier Codes
3.6 OTP(One Time Program) Block
The read identifier codes operation outputs the
manufacturer code, device code, block lock configuration
codes for each block and the permanent lock configuration
code (see Figure 4). Using the manufacturer and device
codes, the system CPU can automatically match the device
with its proper algorithms. The block lock and permanent
lock configuration codes identify locked and unlocked
blocks and permanent lock-bit setting.
The OTP block is a special block that can not be erased.
The block is divided into two parts. One is a factory
program area where a unique number can be written
according to customer requirements in SHARP factory.
This factory program area is "READ ONLY" (Already
locked). The other is a customer program area that can be
used by customers. This customer program area can be
locked. After locking, this customer program area is
protected permanently.
Bottom Boot
The OTP block is read in Configuration Read Mode by
writing Read Identifier Codes command(90H). To return
to Read Array Mode, write Read Array command(FFH).

The OTP block is also locked by writing OTP Program
command(C0H). First write OTP Program command and
then write data "FFFDH" with address "80H" to the
device. Address "80H" of OTP block is OTP lock
information. Bit 0 of address "80H" means factory
program area lock status("1" is "NOT LOCKED", "0" is
"LOCKED"). Bit 1 of address "80H" means customer

3.7 Write
Writing commands to the CUI enable reading of device
data and identifier codes. They also control inspection and
clearing of the status register. When VCC=2.7V-3.6V and
VCCW=VCCWH1/2, the CUI additionally controls block
erase, full chip erase, word/byte write and lock-bit
configuration.
10
The CUI does not occupy an addressable memory
location. It is written when WE# and CE# are active. The
address and data needed to execute a command are latched
on the rising edge of WE# or CE# (whichever goes high
first). Standard microprocessor write timings are used.
Figures 18 and 19 illustrate WE# and CE# controlled write
operations.
4 COMMAND DEFINITIONS
The Block Erase command requires appropriate command
data and an address within the block to be erased. The Full
Chip Erase command requires appropriate command data
and an address within the device. The Word/Byte Write
command requires the command and address of the
location to be written. Set Permanent and Block Lock-Bit
commands require the command and address within the
device (Permanent Lock) or block within the device
(Block Lock) to be locked. The Clear Block Lock-Bits
command requires the command and address within the
device.

4.1 Read Array Command
4.3 Read Status Register Command
Upon initial device power-up and after exit from reset
mode, the device defaults to read array mode. This
operation is also initiated by writing the Read Array
command. The device remains enabled for reads until
another command is written. Once the internal WSM has
started a block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or
lock-bit configuration the device will not recognize the
Read Array command until the WSM completes its
operation unless the WSM is suspended via an Erase
Suspend or Word/Byte Write Suspend command. The
Read Array command functions independently of the
VCCW voltage and RP# can be VIH.
The status register may be read to determine when a block
erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or lock-bit
configuration is complete and whether the operation
completed successfully. It may be read at any time by
writing the Read Status Register command. After writing
this command, all subsequent read operations output data
from the status register until another valid command is
written. The status register contents are latched on the
falling edge of OE# or CE#, whichever occurs. OE# or
CE# must toggle to VIH before further reads to update the
status register latch. The Read Status Register command
functions independently of the VCCW voltage. RP# can be
VIH.
4.2 Read Identifier Codes Command
4.4 Clear Status Register Command
The identifier code operation is initiated by writing the
Read Identifier Codes command. Following the command
write, read cycles from addresses shown in Figure 4
retrieve the manufacturer, device, block lock configuration
and permanent lock configuration codes (see Table 4 for
identifier code values). To terminate the operation, write
another valid command. Like the Read Array command,
the Read Identifier Codes command functions
independently of the VCCW voltage and RP# can be VIH.
Following the Read Identifier Codes command, the
following information can be read:

Status register bits SR.5, SR.4, SR.3 or SR.1 are set to
"1"s by the WSM and can only be reset by the Clear Status
Register command. These bits indicate various failure
conditions (see Table 6). By allowing system software to
reset these bits, several operations (such as cumulatively
erasing multiple blocks or writing several words/bytes in
sequence) may be performed. The status register may be
polled to determine if an error occurred during the
sequence.
To clear the status register, the Clear Status Register
command (50H) is written. It functions independently of
the applied VCCW Voltage. RP# can be VIH. This
command is not functional during block erase or
word/byte write suspend modes.

LHF80J43
4.5 Block Erase Command
Erase is executed one block at a time and initiated by a
two-cycle command. A block erase setup is first written,
followed by an block erase confirm. This command
sequence requires appropriate sequencing and an address
within the block to be erased (erase changes all block data
to FFFFH/FFH). Block preconditioning, erase, and verify
are handled internally by the WSM (invisible to the
system). After the two-cycle block erase sequence is
written, the device automatically outputs status register
data when read (see Figure 6). The CPU can detect block
erase completion by analyzing the output data of the
RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7.
When the block erase is complete, status register bit SR.5
should be checked. If a block erase error is detected, the
status register should be cleared before system software
attempts corrective actions. The CUI remains in read
status register mode until a new command is issued.
This two-step command sequence of set-up followed by
execution ensures that block contents are not accidentally
erased. An invalid Block Erase command sequence will
result in both status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set
to "1". Also, reliable block erasure can only occur when
VCC=2.7V-3.6V and VCCW=VCCWH1/2. In the absence of
this high voltage, block contents are protected against
erasure. If block erase is attempted while VCCW≤VCCWLK,
SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to "1". Successful block erase
requires for boot blocks that WP# is VIH and the
corresponding block lock-bit be cleared. In parameter and
main blocks case, it must be cleared the corresponding
block lock-bit. If block erase is attempted when the
excepting above conditions, SR.1 and SR.5 will be set to
"1".
4.6 Full Chip Erase Command
This command followed by a confirm command erases all
of the unlocked blocks. A full chip erase setup (30H) is
first written, followed by a full chip erase confirm (D0H).
After a confirm command is written, device erases the all
unlocked blocks block by block. This command sequence
requires appropriate sequencing. Block preconditioning,
erase and verify are handled internally by the WSM
(invisible to the system). After the two-cycle full chip
erase sequence is written, the device automatically outputs
status register data when read (see Figure 7). The CPU can
detect full chip erase completion by analyzing the output
data of the RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7.
When the full chip erase is complete, status register bit
SR.5 should be checked. If erase error is detected, the
status register should be cleared before system software
attempts corrective actions. The CUI remains in read
13
status register mode until a new command is issued. If
error is detected on a block during full chip erase
operation, WSM stops erasing. Full chip erase operation
start from lower address block, finish the higher address
block. Full chip erase can not be suspended.
This two-step command sequence of set-up followed by
execution ensures that block contents are not accidentally
erased. An invalid Full Chip Erase command sequence
will result in both status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being
set to "1". Also, reliable full chip erasure can only occur
when VCC=2.7V-3.6V and VCCW=VCCWH1/2. In the
absence of this high voltage, block contents are protected
against erasure. If full chip erase is attempted while
VCCW≤VCCWLK, SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to "1".
Successful full chip erase requires for boot blocks that
WP# is VIH and the corresponding block lock-bit be
cleared. In parameter and main blocks case, it must be
cleared the corresponding block lock-bit. If all blocks are
locked, SR.1 and SR.5 will be set to "1".
4.7 Word/Byte Write Command
Word/Byte write is executed by a two-cycle command
sequence. Word/Byte write setup (standard 40H or
alternate 10H) is written, followed by a second write that
specifies the address and data (latched on the rising edge
of WE#). The WSM then takes over, controlling the
word/byte write and write verify algorithms internally.
After the word/byte write sequence is written, the device
automatically outputs status register data when read (see
Figure 8). The CPU can detect the completion of the
word/byte write event by analyzing the RY/BY# pin or
status register bit SR.7.
When word/byte write is complete, status register bit SR.4
should be checked. If word/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 CUI remains in read status register mode until
it receives another command.
Reliable word/byte writes can only occur when
VCC=2.7V-3.6V and VCCW=VCCWH1/2. In the absence of
this high voltage, memory contents are protected against
word/byte writes. If word/byte write is attempted while
VCCW≤VCCWLK, status register bits SR.3 and SR.4 will be
set to "1". Successful word/byte write requires for boot
blocks that WP# is VIH and the corresponding block lockbit be cleared. In parameter and main blocks case, it must
be cleared the corresponding block lock-bit. If word/byte
write is attempted when the excepting above conditions,
SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to "1".

4.8 Block Erase Suspend Command
4.9 Word/Byte Write Suspend Command
The Block Erase Suspend command allows block-erase
interruption to read or word/byte write data in another
block of memory. Once the block erase process starts,
writing the Block Erase Suspend command requests that
the WSM suspend the block erase sequence at a
predetermined point in the algorithm. The device outputs
status register data when read after the Block Erase
Suspend command is written. Polling status register bits
SR.7 and SR.6 can determine when the block erase
operation has been suspended (both will be set to "1").
RY/BY# will also transition to High Z. Specification
tWHRZ2 defines the block erase suspend latency.
The Word/Byte Write Suspend command allows
word/byte write interruption to read data in other flash
memory locations. Once the word/byte write process
starts, writing the Word/Byte Write Suspend command
requests that the WSM suspend the Word/Byte write
sequence at a predetermined point in the algorithm. The
device continues to output status register data when read
after the Word/Byte Write Suspend command is written.
Polling status register bits SR.7 and SR.2 can determine
when the word/byte write operation has been suspended
(both will be set to "1"). RY/BY# will also transition to
High Z. Specification tWHRZ1 defines the word/byte write
suspend latency.
When Block Erase Suspend command write to the CUI, if
block erase was finished, the device places read array
mode. Therefore, after Block Erase Suspend command
write to the CUI, Read Status Register command (70H)
has to write to CUI, then status register bit SR.6 should be
checked for places the device in suspend mode.
At this point, a Read Array command can be written to
read data from blocks other than that which is suspended.
A Word/Byte Write command sequence can also be issued
during erase suspend to program data in other blocks.
Using the Word/Byte Write Suspend command (see
Section 4.9), a word/byte write operation can also be
suspended. During a word/byte write operation with block
erase suspended, status register bit SR.7 will return to "0"
and the RY/BY# output will transition to VOL. However,
SR.6 will remain "1" to indicate block erase suspend
status.
The only other valid commands while block erase is
suspended are Read Status Register and Block Erase
Resume. After a Block Erase Resume command is written
to the flash memory, the WSM will continue the block
erase process. Status register bits SR.6 and SR.7 will
automatically clear and RY/BY# will return to VOL. After
the Erase Resume command is written, the device
automatically outputs status register data when read (see
Figure 9). VCCW must remain at VCCWH1/2 (the same
VCCW level used for block erase) while block erase is
suspended. RP# must also remain at VIH. WP# must also
remain at VIL or VIH (the same WP# level used for block
erase). Block erase cannot resume until word/byte write
operations initiated during block erase suspend have
completed.
When Word/Byte Write Suspend command write to the
CUI, if word/byte write was finished, the device places
read array mode. Therefore, after Word/Byte Write
Suspend command write to the CUI, Read Status Register
command (70H) has to write to CUI, then status register
bit SR.2 should be checked for places the device in
suspend mode.
At this point, a Read Array command can be written to
read data from locations other than that which is
suspended. The only other valid commands while
word/byte write is suspended are Read Status Register and
Word/Byte Write Resume. After Word/Byte Write
Resume command is written to the flash memory, the
WSM will continue the word/byte write process. Status
register bits SR.2 and SR.7 will automatically clear and
RY/BY# will return to VOL. After the Word/Byte Write
Resume command is written, the device automatically
outputs status register data when read (see Figure 10).
VCCW must remain at VCCWH1/2 (the same VCCW level
used for word/byte write) while in word/byte write
suspend mode. RP# must also remain at VIH. WP# must
also remain at VIL or VIH (the same WP# level used for
word/byte write).
If the time between writing the Word/Byte Write Resume
command and writing the Word/Byte Write Suspend
command is short and both commands are written
repeatedly, a longer time is required than standard
word/byte write until the completion of the operation.
If the time between writing the Block Erase Resume
command and writing the Block Erase Suspend command
is shorter than tERES and both commands are written
repeatedly, a longer time is required than standard block
erase until the completion of the operation.

4.10 Set Block and Permanent Lock-Bit
Commands
A flexible block locking and unlocking scheme is enabled
via a combination of block lock-bits, a permanent lock-bit
and WP# pin. The block lock-bits and WP# pin gates
program and erase operations while the permanent lock-bit
gates block-lock bit modification. With the permanent
lock-bit not set, individual block lock-bits can be set using
the Set Block Lock-Bit command. The Set Permanent
Lock-Bit command, sets the permanent lock-bit. After the
permanent lock-bit is set, block lock-bits and locked block
contents cannot altered. See Table 5 for a summary of
hardware and software write protection options.
Set block lock-bit and permanent lock-bit are executed by
a two-cycle command sequence. The set block or
permanent lock-bit setup along with appropriate block or
device address is written followed by either the set block
lock-bit confirm (and an address within the block to be
locked) or the set permanent lock-bit confirm (and any
device address). The WSM then controls the set lock-bit
algorithm. After the sequence is written, the device
automatically outputs status register data when read (see
Figure 11). The CPU can detect the completion of the set
lock-bit event by analyzing the RY/BY# pin output or
status register bit SR.7.
When the set lock-bit operation is complete, status register
bit SR.4 should be checked. If an error is detected, the
status register should be cleared. The CUI will remain in
read status register mode until a new command is issued.
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by execution
ensures that lock-bits are not accidentally set. An invalid
Set Block or Permanent Lock-Bit command will result in
status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to "1". Also,
reliable operations occur only when VCC=2.7V-3.6V and
VCCW=VCCWH1/2. In the absence of this high voltage,
lock-bit contents are protected against alteration.
A successful set block lock-bit operation requires that the
permanent lock-bit be cleared. If it is attempted with the
permanent lock-bit set, SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to "1"
and the operation will fail.
15
4.11 Clear Block Lock-Bits Command
All set block lock-bits are cleared in parallel via the Clear
Block Lock-Bits command. With the permanent lock-bit
not set, block lock-bits can be cleared using only the Clear
Block Lock-Bits command. If the permanent lock-bit is
set, block lock-bits cannot cleared. See Table 5 for a
summary of hardware and software write protection
options.
Clear block lock-bits operation is executed by a two-cycle
command sequence. A clear block lock-bits setup is first
written. After the command is written, the device
automatically outputs status register data when read (see
Figure 12). The CPU can detect completion of the clear
block lock-bits event by analyzing the RY/BY# Pin output
or status register bit SR.7.
When the operation is complete, status register bit SR.5
should be checked. If a clear block lock-bit error is
detected, the status register should be cleared. The CUI
will remain in read status register mode until another
command is issued.
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by execution
ensures that block lock-bits are not accidentally cleared.
An invalid Clear Block Lock-Bits command sequence will
result in status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to "1".
Also, a reliable clear block lock-bits operation can only
occur when VCC=2.7V-3.6V and VCCW=VCCWH1/2. If a
clear block lock-bits operation is attempted while
VCCW≤VCCWLK, SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to "1". In the
absence of this high voltage, the block lock-bits content
are protected against alteration. A successful clear block
lock-bits operation requires that the permanent lock-bit is
not set. If it is attempted with the permanent lock-bit set,
SR.1 and SR.5 will be set to "1" and the operation will
fail.
If a clear block lock-bits operation is aborted due to VCCW
or VCC transitioning out of valid range or RP# active
transition, block lock-bit values are left in an
undetermined state. A repeat of clear block lock-bits is
required to initialize block lock-bit contents to known
values. Once the permanent lock-bit is set, it cannot be
cleared.

4.12 OTP Program Command
OTP program is executed by a two-cycle command
sequence. OTP program command(C0H) is written,
followed by a second write cycle that specifies the address
and data (latched on the rising edge of WE#). The WSM
then takes over, controlling the OTP program and program
verify algorithms internally. After the OTP program
command sequence is completed, the device automatically
outputs status register data when read (see Figure 13). The
CPU can detect the completion of the OTP program by
analyzing the output data of the RY/BY# pin or status
register bit SR.7.
When OTP program is completed, status register bit SR.4
should be checked. If OTP program error is detected, the
status register should be cleared. The internal WSM verify
only detects errors for "1"s that do not successfully
program to "0"s. The CUI remains in read status register
mode until it receives other commands.
16
programs. If OTP program is attempted while
VCCW≤VCCWLK, status register bits SR.3 and SR.4 is set
to "1". If OTP write is attempted when the OTP Lock-bit
is set, SR.1 and SR.4 is set to "1".
4.13 Block Locking by the WP#
This Boot Block Flash memory architecture features two
hardware-lockable boot blocks so that the kernel code for
the system can be kept secure while other blocks are
programmed or erased as necessary.
The lockable two boot blocks are locked when WP#=VIL;
any program or erase operation to a locked block will
result in an error, which will be reflected in the status
register. For top configuration, the top two boot blocks are
lockable. For the bottom configuration, the bottom two
boot blocks are lockable. If WP# is VIH and block lockbit is not set, boot block can be programmed or erased
normally (Unless VCCW is below VCCWLK). WP# is valid
only two boot blocks, other blocks are not affected.
Reliable OTP program can be executed only when
VCC=2.7V-3.6V and VCCW=VCCWH1/2. In the absence of
this voltage, memory contents are protected against OTP

5 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
5.3 Power Supply Decoupling
5.1 Three-Line Output Control
Flash memory power switching characteristics require
careful device decoupling. System designers are interested
in three supply current issues; standby current levels,
active current levels and transient peaks produced by
falling and rising edges of CE# and OE#. 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 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
connected between its VCC and GND and between its
VCCW and GND. These high-frequency, low inductance
capacitors should be placed as close as possible to package
leads. Additionally, for every eight devices, a 4.7µF
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 inductance.
The device will often be used in large memory arrays.
SHARP 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.
To use these control inputs efficiently, an address decoder
should enable CE# while OE# should be connected to all
memory devices and the system’s READ# control line.
This assures that only selected memory devices have
active outputs while deselected memory devices are in
standby mode. RP# should be connected to the system
POWERGOOD signal to prevent unintended writes during
system power transitions. POWERGOOD should also
toggle during system reset.
5.2 RY/BY# and WSM Polling
RY/BY# is an open drain output that should be connected
to VCC by a pull up resistor to provides a hardware method
of detecting block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write
and lock-bit configuration completion. It transitions low
after block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or lockbit configuration commands and returns to VOH (while
RY/BY# is pull up) when the WSM has finished executing
the internal algorithm.
RY/BY# can be connected to an interrupt input of the
system CPU or controller. It is active at all times. RY/BY#
is also High Z when the device is in block erase suspend
(with word/byte write inactive), word/byte write suspend
or reset modes.
5.4 VCCW Trace on Printed Circuit Boards
Updating flash memories that reside in the target system
requires that the printed circuit board designer pay
attention to the VCCW Power supply trace. The VCCW pin
supplies the memory cell current for word/byte writing
and block erasing. Use similar trace widths and layout
considerations given to the VCC power bus. Adequate
VCCW supply traces and decoupling will decrease VCCW
voltage spikes and overshoots.
5.5 VCC, VCCW, RP# Transitions
Block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write and lock-bit
configuration are not guaranteed if VCCW falls outside of a
valid VCCWH1/2 range, VCC falls outside of a valid 2.7V3.6V range, or RP#≠VIH. If VCCW error is detected, status
register bit SR.3 is set to "1" along with SR.4 or SR.5,
depending on the attempted operation. If RP# transitions
to VIL during block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write
or lock-bit configuration, RY/BY# will remain low until
the reset operation is complete. Then, the operation will
abort and the device will enter reset mode. The aborted
operation may leave data partially altered. Therefore, the
command sequence must be repeated after normal
operation is restored. Device power-off or RP# transitions
to VIL clear the status register.
The CUI latches commands issued by system software and
is not altered by VCCW or CE# transitions or WSM
actions. Its state is read array mode upon power-up, after
exit from reset mode or after VCC transitions below VLKO.
Rev. 1.27
LHF80J43
28
5.6 Power-Up/Down Protection
5.8 Data Protection Method
The device is designed to offer protection against
accidental block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or
lock-bit configuration during power transitions. Upon
power-up, the device is indifferent as to which power
supply (VCCW or VCC) powers-up first. Internal circuitry
resets the CUI to read array mode at power-up.
Noises having a level exceeding the limit specified in the
specification may be generated under specific operating
conditions on some systems. Such noises, when induced
onto WE# signal or power supply, may be interpreted as
false commands, causing undesired memory updating. To
protect the data stored in the flash memory against
unwanted overwriting, systems operating with the flash
memory should have the following write protect designs,
as appropriate:
A system designer must guard against spurious writes for
VCC voltages above VLKO when VCCW is active. Since
both WE# and CE# must be low for a command write,
driving either to VIH will inhibit writes. The CUI’s twostep command sequence architecture provides added level
of protection against data alteration.
In-system block lock and unlock capability prevents
inadvertent data alteration. The device is disabled while
RP#=VIL regardless of its control inputs state.
5.7 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 memory’s nonvolatility increases usable
battery life because data is retained when system power is
removed.
1) Protecting data in specific block
When a lock bit is set, the corresponding block (includes
the 2 boot blocks) is protected against overwriting. By
setting a WP# to low, only the 2 boot blocks can be
protected against overwriting. By using this feature, the
flash memory space can be divided into the program
section (locked section) and data section (unlocked
section). The permanent lock bit can be used to prevent
false block bit setting. For further information on
setting/resetting lock-bit, refer to the specification. (See
chapter 4.10 and 4.11.)
2) Data protection through VCCW
When the level of VCCW is lower than VCCWLK (lockout
voltage), write operation on the flash memory is disabled.
All blocks are locked and the data in the blocks are
completely write protected. For the lockout voltage, refer
to the specification. (See chapter 6.2.3.)
3) Data protection through RP#
When the RP# is kept low during read mode, the flash
memory will be reset mode, then write protecting all
blocks. When the RP# is kept low during power up and
power down sequence such as voltage transition, write
operation on the flash memory is disabled, write
protecting all blocks. For the details of RP# control, refer
to the specification. (See chapter 5.6 and 6.2.7.)

*WARNING: Stressing the device beyond the "Absolute
Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage. These
are stress ratings only. Operation beyond the "Operating
Conditions" is not recommended and extended exposure
beyond the "Operating Conditions" may affect device
reliability.
NOTES:
1. Operating temperature is for extended temperature
product defined by this specification.
2. All specified voltages are with respect to GND.
Minimum DC voltage is -0.5V on input/output pins
and -0.2V on VCC and VCCW pins. During transitions,
this level may undershoot to -2.0V for periods <20ns.
Maximum DC voltage on input/output pins are
VCC+0.5V which, during transitions, may overshoot to
VCC+2.0V for periods <20ns.
3. Maximum DC voltage on VCCW may overshoot to
+13.0V for periods <20ns. Applying 12V±0.3V to
VCCW during erase/write can only be done for a
maximum of 1000 cycles on each block. VCCW may be
connected to 12V±0.3V for a total of 80 hours
maximum.
4. Output shorted for no more than one second. No more
than one output shorted at a time.

NOTES:
1. All currents are in RMS unless otherwise noted. Typical values at nominal VCC voltage and TA=+25°C.
2. ICCWS and ICCES are specified with the device de-selected. If read or word/byte written while in erase suspend mode, the
device’s current draw is the sum of ICCWS or ICCES and ICCR or ICCW, respectively.
3. Includes RY/BY#.
4. Block erases, full chip erase, word/byte writes and lock-bit configurations are inhibited when VCCW≤VCCWLK, and not
guaranteed in the range between VCCWLK(max.) and VCCWH1(min.), between VCCWH1(max.) and VCCWH2(min.) and
above VCCWH2(max.).
5. The Automatic Power Savings (APS) feature is placed automatically power save mode that addresses not switching more
than 300ns while read mode.
6. About all of pin except describe Test Conditions, CMOS level inputs are either VCC±0.2V or GND±0.2V, TTL level
inputs are either VIL or VIH.
7. Sampled, not 100% tested.
8. Applying 12V±0.3V to VCCW during erase/write can only be done for a maximum of 1000 cycles on each block. VCCW
may be connected to 12V±0.3V for a total of 80 hours maximum.
