DESCRIPTION
The M29F400 is a non-volatile memory that may
be erased electrically at the block or chip level and
programmed in-system on a Byte-by-Byte or Wordby-Word basis using only a single 5V V CC supply.
For Program and Erase operations the necessary
high voltages are generated internally. The device
can also be programmed in standard programmers.
The array matrix organisation allows each block to
be erased and reprogrammed without affecting
other blocks. Blocks can be protected against proNovember 1999

DESCRIPTION (Cont’d)
graming and erase on programming equipment,
and temporarily unprotected to make changes in
the application.
Instructions for Read/Reset, Auto Select for reading the Electronic Signature or Block Protection
status, Programming, Block and Chip Erase, Erase
Suspend and Resume are written to the device in
cyclesof commands to a CommandInterface using
standard microprocessor write timings.
The device is offered in TSOP48 (12 x 20mm) and
SO44 packages. Both normal and reverse pinouts
are available for the TSOP48 package.
Organisation
The M29F400 is organised as 512K x8 or 256K x16
bits selectable by the BYTE signal. When BYTE is
Low the Byte-wide x8 organisation is selected and
the address lines are DQ15A–1 and A0-A17. The
Data Input/Output signal DQ15A–1 acts as address line A–1 which selects the lower or upper
Byte of the memory word for output on DQ0-DQ7,
DQ8-DQ14 remain at High impedance. When
BYTE is High the memory uses the address inputs
A0-A17 and the Data Input/Outputs DQ0-DQ15.
Memory control is provided by Chip Enable E,
Output Enable G and Write Enable W inputs.
A Reset/Block Temporary Unprotection RP tri-level
input provides a hardware reset when pulled Low,
and when held High (at V ID) temporarily unprotects
blocks previously protected allowing them to be
programed and erased. Erase and Program operations are controlled by an internal Program/Erase
Controller (P/E.C.). Status Register data output on
DQ7 provides a Data Polling signal, and DQ6 and
DQ2 provide Toggle signals to indicate the state of
the P/E.C operations. A Ready/Busy RB output
indicates the completion of the internal algorithms.
Memory Blocks
The devices feature asymmetrically blocked architecture providing system memory integration. Both
M29F400T and M29F400B devices have an array
of 11 blocks, one Boot Block of 16 KBytes or 8
KWords, two Parameter Blocks of 8 KBytes or 4
KWords, one Main Block of 32 KBytes or 16
KWords and seven Main Blocks of 64 KBytes or 32
KWords. The M29F400T has the Boot Block at the
top of the memory address space and the
M29F400B locates the Boot Block starting at the
bottom. The memory maps are showed in Figure
3. Each block can be erased separately, any combination of blocks can be specified for multi-block
erase or the entire chip may be erased. The Erase
operations are managed automatically by the
P/E.C. The block erase operation can be suspended in order to read from or program to any
block not being ersased, and then resumed.
Block protection provides additional data security.
Each block can be separately protected or unprotected against Program or Erase on programming
equipment. All previously protected blocks can be
temporarily unprotected in the application.
Bus Operations
The following operations can be performed using
the appropriate bus cycles: Read (Array, Electronic
Signature, Block Protection Status), Write command, Output Disable, Standby, Reset, Block Prot ec t i on, Unprot ec t ion, Prot ect i on Veri f y,
Unprotection Verify and Block Temporary Unprotection. See Tables 4 and 5.

Command Interface
Instructions, made up of commands written in cycles, can be given to the Program/Erase Controller
through a Command Interface (C.I.). For added
data protection, program or erase execution starts
after 4 or 6 cycles. The first,second, fourth and fifth
cycles are used to input Coded cycles to the C.I.
This Coded sequence is the same for all Program/Erase Controller instructions. The ’Command’ itself and its confirmation, when applicable,
are given on the third, fourth or sixth cycles. Any
incorrect command or any improper command sequence will reset the device to Read Array mode.
Instructions
Seven instructions are defined to perform Read
Array, Auto Select (to read the Electronic Signature
or Block Protection Status), Program, Block Erase,
Chip Erase, Erase Suspend and Erase Resume.
The internal P/E.C. automatically handles all timing and verification of the Program and Erase
operations. The Status Register Data Polling, Toggle, Error bits and the RB output may be read at
4/34
any time, during programming or erase, to monitor
the progress of the operation.
Instructions are composed of up to six cycles. The
first two cycles input a Coded sequence to the
Command Interface which is common to all instructions (see Table 8). The third cycle inputs the
instruction set-up command. Subsequent cycles
output the addressed data, Electronic Signature or
Block Protection Status for Read operations. In
order to give additional data protection, the instructions for Program and Block or Chip Erase require
further command inputs. For a Program instruction,
the fourth command cycle inputs the address and
data to be programmed. For an Erase instruction
(Block or Chip), the fourth and fifth cycles input a
further Coded sequence before the Erase confirm
command on the sixth cycle. Erasure of a memory
block may be suspended, in order to read data from
another block or to program data in another block,
and then resumed.
When power is first applied or if V CC falls below
VLKO, the command interface is reset to Read
Array.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure 1 and Table 1.
Address Inputs (A0-A17). The address inputs for
the memory array are latched during a write operation on the falling edge of Chip Enable E or Write
Enable W. In Word-wide organisation the address
lines are A0-A17, in Byte-wide organisation
DQ15A–1 acts as an additional LSB address line.
When A9 is raised to VID, either a Read Electronic
Signature Manufacturer or Device Code, Block
Protection Status or a Write Block Protection or
Block Unprotection is enabled depending on the
combination of levels on A0, A1, A6, A12 and A15.
Data Input/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7). T hes e I nputs/Outputs are used in the Byte-wide and Wordwide organisations. The input is data to be
programmed in the memory array or a command
to be written to the C.I. Both are latched on the
rising edge of Chip Enable E or Write Enable W.
The output is data from the Memory Array, the
Electronic Signature Manufacturer or Device
codes, the Block Protection Status or the Status
register Data Polling bit DQ7, the Toggle Bits DQ6
and DQ2, the Error bit DQ5 or the Erase Timer bit
DQ3. Outputs are valid when Chip Enable E and
Output Enable G are active. The output is high
impedance when the chip is deselected or the
outputs are disabled and when RP is at a Low level.
Data Input/Outputs (DQ8-DQ14 and DQ15A–1).
These Inputs/Outputs are additionally used in the
Word-wide organisation. When BYTEis High DQ8DQ14 and DQ15A–1 act as the MSB of the Data
Input or Output, functioning as described for DQ0DQ7 above, and DQ8-DQ15 are ’don’t care’ for
command inputs or status outputs. When BYTE is
Low, DQ8-DQ14 are high impedance, DQ15A–1 is
the Address A–1 input.
Chip Enable (E). The Chip Enable input activates
the memory control logic, input buffers, decoders
and sense amplifiers. E High deselects the memory
and reduces the powerconsumption to the standby
level. E can also be used to control writing to the
command register and to the memory array, while
W remains at a low level. The Chip Enable must be
forced to VID during the Block Unprotection operation.
Output Enable (G). The Output Enable gates the
outputs through the data buffers during a read
operation. When G is High the outputs are High
6/34
impedance. G must be forced to V ID level during
Block Protection and Unprotection operations.
Write Enable (W). This input controls writing to the
Command Register and Address and Data latches.
Byte/Word Organization Select (BYTE). The
BYTE input selects the output configuration for the
device: Byte-wide (x8) mode or Word-wide (x16)
mode. When BYTE is Low, the Byte-wide mode is
selected and the data is read and programmed on
DQ0-DQ7. In this mode, DQ8-DQ14 are at high
impedance and DQ15A–1 is the LSB address.
When BYTE is High, the Word-wide mode is selected and the data is read and programmed on
DQ0-DQ15.
Ready/Busy Output (RB). Ready/Busy is an
open-drainoutput and gives the internal state of the
P/E.C. of the device. When RB is Low, the device
is Busy with a Program or Erase operation and it
will not accept any additional program or erase
instructions except the Erase Suspend instruction.
When RB is High, the device is ready for any Read,
Program or Erase operation. The RB will also be
High when the memory is put in Erase Suspend or
Standby modes.
Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect Input (RP).
The RP Input provides hardware reset and protected block(s) temporary unprotection functions.
Reset of the memory is acheived by pulling RP to
VIL for at least 500ns. When the reset pulse is
given, if the memory is in Read or Standby modes,
it will be available for new operations in 50ns after
the rising edge of RP. If the memory is in Erase,
Erase Suspend or Program modes the reset will
take 10µs during which the RB signal will be held
at VIL. The end of the memoryreset will be indicated
by the rising edge of RB. A hardware reset during
an Erase or Program operation will corrupt the data
being programmed or the sector(s) being erased.
Temporary block unprotection is made by holding
RP at VID. In this condition previously protected
blocks can be programmed or erased. The transition of RP from VIH to VID must slower than 500ns.
When RP is returned from VID to VIH all blocks
temporarily unprotected will be again protected.

operations (Read, Program and Erase).

measurements.

DEVICE OPERATIONS
See Tables 4, 5 and 6.
Read. Read operations are used to output the
contents of the Memory Array, the Electronic Signature, the Status Register or the Block Protection
Status. Both Chip Enable E and Output Enable G
must be low in order to read the output of the
memory.
Write. Write operations are used to give Instruction
Commands to the memory or to latch input data to
be programmed. A write operation is initiated when
Chip Enable E is Low and Write Enable W is Low
with Output Enable G High. Addresses are latched
on the falling edge of W or E whichever occurs last.
Commands and Input Dataare latchedon the rising
edge of W or E whichever occurs first.
Output Disable. The data outputs are high impedance when the Output Enable G is High with Write
Enable W High.
Standby. The memory is in standby when Chip
Enable E is High and the P/E.C. is idle. The power
consumption is reduced to the standby level and
the outputs are high impedance, independent of
the Output Enable G or Write Enable W inputs.
Automatic Standby. After 150ns of bus inactivity
and when CMOS levels are driving the addresses,
the chip automatically enters a pseudo-standby
mode where consumption is reduced to the CMOS
standby value, while outputs still drive the bus.
Electronic Signature. Two codes identifying the
manufacturer and the device can be read from the
memory. The manufacturer’s code for STMicroelectronics is 20h, the device code is D5h for the
M29F400T (Top Boot) and D6h for the M29F400B
(Bottom Boot). These codes allow programming
equipment or applications to automatically match
their interface to the characteristics of the
M29F400. The Electronic Signature is output by a
Read operation when the voltage applied to A9 is
at VID and address inputs A1 is Low. The manufacturer code is output when the Address input A0 is
Low and the device code when this input is High.
Other Address inputs are ignored. The codes are
output on DQ0-DQ7.
The Electronic Signature can also be read, without
raising A9 to VID, by giving the memory the Instruction AS. If the Byte-wide configuration is selected
the codes are output on DQ0-DQ7 with DQ8-DQ14
at High impedance; if the Word-wide configuration
is selected the codes are output on DQ0-DQ7 with
DQ8-DQ15 at 00h.
Block Protection. Each block can be separately
protected against Program or Erase on programming equipment. Block protection provides additional data security, as it disables all program or
eraseoperations. Thismode is activated when both
A9 and G are raised to VID and an address in the
block is applied on A12-A17. The Block Protection
algorithm is shown in Figure 14. Block protection is
initiated on the edge of W falling to V IL. Then after
a delay of 100µs, the edge of W rising to VIH ends
the protection operations. Block protection verify is
achieved by bringing G, E, A0 and A6 to VIL and A1
to VIH, while W is at VIH and A9 at VID. Under these
conditions, reading the data output will yield 01h if
the block defined by the inputs on A12-A17 is
protected. Any attempt to program or erase a protected block will be ignored by the device.
Block Temporary Unprotection. Any previously
protected block can be temporarily unprotected in
order to change stored data. The temporary unprotection mode is activated by bringing RP to VID.
During the temporary unprotection mode the previously protected blocks are unprotected. A block
can be selected and data can be modified by
executing the Erase or Program instruction with the
RP signal held at V ID. When RP is returned to VIH,
all the previously protected blocks are again protected.
Block Unprotection. All protected blocks can be
unprotected on programming equipment to allow
updating of bit contents. All blocks must first be
protected before the unprotection operation. Block
unprotection is activated when A9, G and E are at
VID and A12, A15 at VIH. The Block Unprotection
algorithm is shown in Figure 15. Unprotection is
initiated by the edge of W falling to VIL. After a delay
of 10ms, the unprotection operation will end. Unprotection verify is achieved by bringing G and E to
VIL while A0 is at VIL, A6 and A1 are at VIH and A9
remains at VID. In these conditions, reading the
output data will yield 00h if the block defined by the
inputs A12-A17 has been succesfully unprotected.
Each block must be separately verified by giving its
address in order to ensure that it has been unprotected.

INSTRUCTIONS AND COMMANDS
The Command Interface latches commands written to the memory. Instructions are made up from
one or more commands to perform Read Memory
Array, Read Electronic Signature, Read Block Protection, Program, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Erase
Suspend and Erase Resume. Commands are
made of address and data sequences. The instructions require from 1 to 6 cycles, the first or first
three of which are always write operations used to
initiate the instruction. They are followed by either
further write cycles to confirm the first command or
execute the command immediately. Command sequencing must be followed exactly. Any invalid
combination of commands will reset the device to
Read Array. The increased number of cycles has
been chosen to assure maximum data security.
Instructions are initialised by two initial Coded cycles which unlock the Command Interface. In addition, for Erase, instruction confirmation is again
preceded by the two Coded cycles.
Status Register Bits
P/E.C. status is indicated during execution by Data
Polling on DQ7, detection of Toggle on DQ6 and
DQ2, or Error on DQ5 and Erase Timer DQ3 bits.
Any read attempt during Program or Erase command execution will automatically output these five
Status Register bits. The P/E.C. automatically sets
bits DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6 and DQ7. Other bits
(DQ0, DQ1 and DQ4) are reserved for future use
and should be masked. See Tables 9 and 10.
Data Polling Bit (DQ7). When Programming operations are in progress, this bit outputs the complement of the bit being programmed on DQ7.
During Erase operation, it outputs a ’0’. After completion of the operation, DQ7 will output the bit last
programmed or a ’1’ after erasing. Data Polling is
valid and only effective during P/E.C. operation,
that is after the fourth W pulse for programming or
after the sixth W pulse for erase. It must be performed at the address being programmed or at an
address within the block being erased. If all the
blocks selected for erasure are protected, DQ7 will
be set to ’0’ for about 100µs, and then return to the
previous addressed memory data value. See Figure 11 for the Data Polling flowchart and Figure 10
for the Data Polling waveforms. DQ7 will also flag
the Erase Suspend mode by switching from ’0’ to
’1’ at the start of the Erase Suspend. In order to
monitor DQ7 in the Erase Suspend mode an address within a block being erased must be provided. For a Read Operation in Erase Suspend
mode, DQ7 will output ’1’ if the read is attempted
on a block being erasedand thedata value on other
blocks. During Program operation in Erase Suspend Mode, DQ7 will have the same behaviour as
in the normal program execution outside of the
suspend mode.
Toggle Bit (DQ6). When Programming or Erasing
operations are in progress, successive attempts to
read DQ6 will output complementary data. DQ6 will
toggle following toggling of either G, or E when G
is low. The operation is completed when two successive reads yield the same output data. The next
read will outputthe bit last programmed or a ’1’ after
erasing. The toggle bit DQ6 is valid only during
P/E.C. operations, that is after the fourth W pulse
for programming or after the sixth W pulse for
Erase. If the blocks selected for erasure are protected, DQ6 will toggle for about 100µs and then
return back to Read. DQ6 will be set to ’1’ if a Read
operation is attempted on an EraseSuspend block.
When erase is suspended DQ6 will toggle during
programming operations in a block different to the
block in Erase Suspend. Either E or G toggling will
cause DQ6 to toggle. See Figure 12 for Toggle Bit
flowchart and Figure 13 for Toggle Bit waveforms.

Toggle Bit (DQ2). This toggle bit, together with
DQ6, can be used to determine the device status
during the Erase operations. It can also be used to
identify the block being erased. During Erase or
Erase Suspend a read from a block being erased
will cause DQ2 to toggle. A read from a block not
being erased will set DQ2 to ’1’ during erase and
to DQ2 during Erase Suspend. During Chip Erase
a read operation will cause DQ2 to toggle as all
blocks are being erased. DQ2 will be set to ’1’
during program operation and when erase is complete. After erase completion and if the error bit
DQ5 is set to ’1’, DQ2 will toggle if the faulty block
is addressed.
Error Bit (DQ5). This bit is set to ’1’ by the P/E.C.
when there is a failure of programming, block
erase, or chip erase that results in invalid data in
the memoryblock. In case of an error in block erase
or program, the block in which the error occured or
to which the programmed data belongs, must be
discarded. The DQ5 failure condition will also appear if a user tries to program a ’1’ to a location that
is previously programmed to ’0’. Other Blocks may
still be used. The error bit resets after a Read/Reset
(RD) instruction. In case of success of Program or
Erase, the error bit will be set to ’0’ .
Erase Timer Bit (DQ3). This bit is set to ’0’ by the
P/E.C. when the last block Erase command has
been entered to the Command Interface and it is
awaiting the Erase start. When the erase timeout
period is finished, after 80µs to 120µs, DQ3 returns
to ’1’.
Coded Cycles
The two Coded cycles unlock the Command Interface. They are followed by an input command or a
confirmation command. The Coded cycles consist
of writing the data AAh at address AAAAh in the
Byte-wide configuration and at address 5555h in
12/34
the Word-wide configuration during the first cycle.
During the second cycle the Coded cycles consist
of writing the data 55h at address 5555h in the
Byte-wide configuration and at address 2AAAh in
the Word-wide configuration. In the Byte-wide configuration the address lines A–1 to A14 are valid, in
Word-wide A0 to A14 are valid, other address lines
are ’don’t care’. The Coded cycles happen on first
and second cycles of the command write or on the
fourth and fifth cycles.
Instructions
See Table 8.
Read/Reset (RD) Instruction. The Read/Reset
instruction consists of one write cycle giving the
command F0h. It can be optionally preceded by the
two Coded cycles. Subsequent read operations will
read the memory array addressed and output the
data read. A wait state of 10µs is necessary after
Read/Reset prior to any valid read if the memory
was in an Erase mode when the RD instruction is
given.
Auto Select (AS) Instruction. This instruction
uses the two Coded cycles followed by one write
cycle giving the command 90h to address AAAAh
in the Byte-wide configuration or address 5555h in
the Word-wide configuration for command set-up.
A subsequent read will output the manufacturer
code and the device code or the block protection
status depending on the levels of A0 and A1. The
manufacturer code, 20h, is output when the addresses lines A0 and A1 are Low, the device code,
D5h for Top Boot, D6h for Bottom Boot is output
when A0 is High with A1 Low.
The AS instruction also allows access to the block
protectionstatus. After givingthe AS instruction, A0
is set to V IL with A1 at VIH, while A12-A17 define
the address of the block to be verified. A read in
these conditions will output a 01h if the block is
protected and a 00h if the block is not protected.
Program (PG) Instruction. This instruction uses
four write cycles. Both for Byte-wide configuration
and for Word-wide configuration. The Program
command A0h is written to address AAAAh in the
Byte-wide configuration or to address 5555h in the
Word-wide configuration on the third cycle after two
Coded cycles. A fourth write operation latches the
Address on the falling edge of W or E and the Data
to be written on the rising edge and starts the
P/E.C. Read operations output the Status Register
bits after the programming has started. Memory
programming is made only by writing ’0’ in place of
’1’. Status bits DQ6 and DQ7 determine if programming is on-going and DQ5 allows verification of any
possible error. Programming at an address not in
blocks being erased is also possible during erase
suspend. In this case, DQ2 will toggle at the address being programmed.

Block Erase (BE) Instruction. This instruction
uses a minimum of six write cycles. The Erase
Set-up command 80h is written to address AAAAh
in the Byte-wide configuration or address 5555h in
the Word-wide configuration on third cycleafter the
two Coded cycles. The Block Erase Confirm command 30h is similarly written on the sixth cycle after
another two Coded cycles. During the input of the
second command an address within the block to be
erased is given and latched into the memory. Additional block Erase Confirm commands and block
addresses can be written subsequently to erase
other blocks in parallel, without further Coded cycles. The erase will start after the erase timeout
period (see Erase Timer Bit DQ3 description).
Thus, additional Erase Confirm commands for
other blocks must be given within this delay. The
input of a new Erase Confirm command will restart
the timeout period. The status of the internal timer
can be monitored through the level of DQ3, if DQ3
is ’0’ the Block Erase Command has been given
and the timeout is running, if DQ3 is ’1’, the timeout
has expired and the P/E.C. is erasing the Block(s).
If the second command given is not an erase
confirm or if the Coded cycles are wrong, the
instruction aborts, and the device is reset to Read
Array. It is not necessary to program the block with
00h as the P/E.C. will do this automatically before
to erasing to FFh. Read operations after the sixth
rising edge of W or E output the status register
status bits.

During the execution of the erase by theP/E.C., the
memory accepts only the Erase Suspend ES and
Read/Reset RD instructions. Data Polling bit DQ7
returns ’0’ while the erasure is in progress and ’1’
when it has completed. The Toggle bit DQ2 and
DQ6 toggle during the erase operation. They stop
when erase is completed. After completion the
Status Registerbit DQ5 returns ’1’ if there has been
an erase failure. In such a situation, the Toggle bit
DQ2 can be used to determine which block is not
correctly erased. In the case of erase failure, a
Read/Reset RD instruction is necessary in order to
reset the P/E.C.
Chip Erase (CE) Instruction. This instruction uses
six write cycles. The Erase Set-up command 80h
is written to address AAAAh in the Byte-wide configuration or the address 5555h in the Word-wide
14/34
configuration on the third cycle after the two Coded
cycles. The Chip Erase Confirm command 10h is
similarly written on the sixth cycle after another two
Coded cycles. If the second command given is not
an erase confirm or if the Coded cycles are wrong,
the instruction aborts and the device is reset to
Read Array. It is not necessary to programthe array
with 00h first as the P/E.C. will automatically do this
before erasing it to FFh. Read operations after the
sixth rising edge of W or E output the Status
Register bits. During the execution of the erase by
the P/E.C., Data Polling bit DQ7 returns ’0’, then ’1’
on completion. The Toggle bits DQ2 and DQ6
toggle during erase operation and stop when erase
is completed. After completion the Status Register
bit DQ5 returns ’1’ if there has been an Erase
Failure.

Erase Suspend (ES) Instruction. The Block
Erase operation may be suspended by thisinstruction which consists of writing the command B0h
without any specific address. No Coded cycles are
required. It permits reading of data from another
block and programming in another block while an
erase operation is in progress. Erase suspend is
accepted only during the Block Erase instruction

execution. Writing this command during Erase
timeout will, in addition to suspending the erase,
terminate the timeout. The Toggle bit DQ6 stops
toggling when the P/E.C.is suspended. The Toggle
bits will stop toggling between 0.1µs and 15µs after
the Erase Suspend (ES) command has been written. The device will then automatically be set to
Read Memory Array mode. When erase is sus-

pended, a Read from blocks being erased will
output DQ2 toggling and DQ6 at ’1’. A Read from
a block not being erased returns valid data. During
suspension the memory will respond only to the
Erase Resume ER and the Program PG instructions. A Program operation can be initiated during
erase suspend in one of the blocks not being
erased. It will result in both DQ2 and DQ6 toggling
when the data is being programmed. ARead/Reset
command will definitively abort erasure and result
in invalid data in the blocks being erased.
Erase Resume (ER) Instruction. If an Erase
Suspend instruction was previously executed, the

POWER SUPPLY
Power Up
The memoryCommand Interface is reset on power
up to Read Array. Either E or W must be tied to VIH
during Power Up to allow maximum security and
the possibility to write a command on the first rising
edge of E and W. Any write cycle initiation is
blocked when Vcc is below V LKO.

Supply Rails
Normal precautions must be taken for supply voltage decoupling; each device in a system should
have the V CC rail decoupled with a 0.1µF capacitor
close to the V CC and VSS pins. The PCB trace
widths should be sufficient to carry the V CC program and erase currents required.
