GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29F400C T/B is a 4-mega bit Flash memory organized as 512K bytes of 8 bits or 256K words of 16 bits.
MXIC's Flash memories offer the most cost-effective and
reliable read/write non-volatile random access memory.
The MX29F400C T/B is packaged in 44-pin SOP, 48-pin
TSOP. It is designed to be reprogrammed and erased in
system or in standard EPROM programmers.
during erase and programming, while maintaining maximum EPROM compatibility.
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory contents
even after 100,000 erase and program cycles. The MXIC
cell is designed to optimize the erase and programming
mechanisms. In addition, the combination of advanced
tunnel oxide processing and low internal electric fields
for erase and program operations produces reliable cycling. The MX29F400C T/B uses a 5.0V±10% VCC supply to perform the High Reliability Erase and auto Program/Erase algorithms.
The standard MX29F400C T/B offers access time as
fast as 55ns, allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors without wait states. To eliminate bus contention, the MX29F400C T/B has separate chip enable (CE#)
and output enable (OE#) controls.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process. Latch-up protection is proved for stresses up to 100 milliamps on
address and data pin from -1V to VCC + 1V.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29F400C T/B uses a command register to manage
this functionality. The command register allows for 100%
TTL level control inputs and fixed power supply levels

MX29F400C T/B
dard microprocessor write timings. The device will automatically pre-program and verify the entire array. Then
the device automatically times the erase pulse width,
provides the erase verification, and counts the number
of sequences. A status bit toggling between consecutive read cycles provides feedback to the user as to the
status of the programming operation.
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING
The MX29F400C T/B is byte programmable using the
Automatic Programming algorithm. The Automatic Programming algorithm makes the external system do not
need to have time out sequence nor to verify the data
programmed. The typical chip programming time at room
temperature of the MX29F400C T/B is less than 4.5 seconds.
Register contents serve as inputs to an internal statemachine which controls the erase and programming circuitry. During write cycles, the command register internally latches address and data needed for the programming and erase operations. During a system write cycle,
addresses are latched on the falling edge, and data are
latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever
happens first .
AUTOMATIC CHIP ERASE
The entire chip is bulk erased using 10 ms erase pulses
according to MXIC's Automatic Chip Erase algorithm.
Typical erasure at room temperature is accomplished in
less than 4 second. The Automatic Erase algorithm automatically programs the entire array prior to electrical
erase. The timing and verification of electrical erase are
controlled internally within the device.
MXIC's Flash technology combines years of EPROM
experience to produce the highest levels of quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness. The MX29F400C T/B electrically erases all bits simultaneously using FowlerNordheim tunneling. The bytes are programmed by using the EPROM programming mechanism of hot electron
injection.
AUTOMATIC SECTOR ERASE
The MX29F400C T/B is sector(s) erasable using MXIC's
Auto Sector Erase algorithm. Sector erase modes allow
sectors of the array to be erased in one erase cycle. The
Automatic Sector Erase algorithm automatically programs
the specified sector(s) prior to electrical erase. The timing and verification of electrical erase are controlled internally within the device.
During a program cycle, the state-machine will control
the program sequences and command register will not
respond to any command set. During a Sector Erase
cycle, the command register will only respond to Erase
Suspend command. After Erase Suspend is completed,
the device stays in read mode. After the state machine
has completed its task, it will allow the command register to respond to its full command set.
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Programming algorithm requires the
user to only write program set-up commands (including 2
unlock write cycle and A0H) and a program command
(program data and address). The device automatically
times the programming pulse width, provides the program verification, and counts the number of sequences.
A status bit similar to Data# Polling and a status bit toggling between consecutive read cycles, provide feedback
to the user as to the status of the programming operation.
AUTOMATIC ERASE ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Erase algorithm requires the user to
write commands to the command register using stan-

MX29F400C T/B
SET-UP AUTOMATIC CHIP/SECTOR ERASE
COMMANDS
READ/RESET COMMAND
The read or reset operation is initiated by writing the
read/reset command sequence into the command register. Microprocessor read cycles retrieve array data.
The device remains enabled for reads until the command
register contents are altered.
Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two
"unlock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the
"set-up" command 80H. Two more "unlock" write cycles are then followed by the chip erase command 10H.
If program-fail or erase-fail happen, the write of F0H will
reset the device to abort the operation. A valid command must then be written to place the device in the
desired state.
The Automatic Chip Erase does not require the device
to be entirely pre-programmed prior to executing the Automatic Chip Erase. Upon executing the Automatic Chip
Erase, the device will automatically program and verify
the entire memory for an all-zero data pattern. When the
device is automatically verified to contain an all-zero
pattern, a self-timed chip erase and verify begin. The
erase and verify operations are completed when the data
on Q7 is "1" at which time the device returns to the
Read mode. The system is not required to provide any
control or timing during these operations.
SILICON-ID-READ COMMAND
Flash memories are intended for use in applications where
the local CPU alters memory contents. As such, manufacturer and device codes must be accessible while the
device resides in the target system. PROM programmers typically access signature codes by raising A9 to
a high voltage. However, multiplexing high voltage onto
address lines is not generally desired system design
practice.
When using the Automatic Chip Erase algorithm, note
that the erase automatically terminates when adequate
erase margin has been achieved for the memory array(no
erase verification command is required).
The MX29F400C T/B contains a Silicon-ID-Read operation to supplement traditional PROM programming methodology. The operation is initiated by writing the read
silicon ID command sequence into the command register. Following the command write, a read cycle with
A1=VIL,A0=VIL retrieves the manufacturer code of C2H/
00C2H. A read cycle with A1=VIL, A0=VIH returns the
device code of 23H/2223H for MX29F400CT, ABH/22ABH
for MX29F400CB.
If the Erase operation was unsuccessful, the data on
Q5 is "1"(see Table 4), indicating the erase operation
exceed internal timing limit.
The automatic erase begins on the rising edge of the
last WE# or CE#, whichever happens later, pulse in the
command sequence and terminates when the data on
Q7 is "1" and the data on Q6 stops toggling for two consecutive read cycles, at which time the device returns
to the Read mode.

SECTOR ERASE COMMANDS
erase margin has been achieved for the memory array
(no erase verification command is required). Sector
erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two "unlock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the setup command 80H. Two more "unlock" write cycles are
then followed by the sector erase command 30H. The
sector address is latched on the falling edge of WE# or
CE#, whichever happens later, while the command(data)
is latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever
happens first. Sector addresses selected are loaded
into internal register on the sixth falling edge of WE# or
CE#, whichever happens later. Each successive sector
load cycle started by the falling edge of WE# or CE#,
whichever happens later, must begin within 30us from
the rising edge of the preceding WE# or CE#, whichever
happens First, otherwise, the loading period ends and
internal auto sector erase cycle starts. (Monitor Q3 to
determine if the sector erase timer window is still open,
see section Q3, Sector Erase Timer.) Any command other
than Sector Erase(30H) or Erase Suspend(B0H) during
the time-out period resets the device to read mode.
The Automatic Sector Erase does not require the device to be entirely pre-programmed prior to executing
the Automatic Set-up Sector Erase command and Automatic Sector Erase command. Upon executing the Automatic Sector Erase command, the device will automatically program and verify the sector(s) memory for
an all-zero data pattern. The system is not required to
provide any control or timing during these operations.
When the sector(s) is automatically verified to contain
an all-zero pattern, a self-timed sector erase and verify
begin. The erase and verify operations are complete
when the data on Q7 is "1" and the data on Q6 stops
toggling for two consecutive read cycles, at which time
the device returns to the Read mode. The system is not
required to provide any control or timing during these
operations.
When using the Automatic Sector Erase algorithm, note
that the erase automatically terminates when adequate

next WE# or CE#, pulse causes a transition to an active
programming operation. Addresses are latched on the
falling edge, and data are internally latched on the
rising edge of the WE# or CE#, whichever happens first,
pulse. The rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens first, also begins the programming operation. The
system is not required to provide further controls or timings. The device will automatically provide an adequate
internally generated program pulse and verify margin.
ERASE SUSPEND
This command only has meaning while the state machine is executing Automatic Sector Erase operation, and
therefore will only be responded during Automatic Sector
Erase operation. When the Erase Suspend command is
written during a sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum of 20us to suspend the erase operations. 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 this command has been executed, the command register will initiate erase suspend
mode. The state machine will return to read mode automatically after suspend is ready. At this time, state machine only allows the command register to respond to
the Read Memory Array, Erase Resume and program
commands.
If the program operation was unsuccessful, the data on
Q5 is "1"(see Table 4), indicating the program operation
exceed internal timing limit. The automatic programming
operation is completed when the data read on Q6 stops
toggling for two consecutive read cycles and the data
on Q7 and Q6 are equivalent to data written to these two
bits, at which time the device returns to the Read mode(no
program verify command is required).
The system can determine the status of the program
operation using the Q7 or Q6 status bits, just as in the
standard program operation. After an erase-suspend program operation is complete, the system can once again
read array data within non-suspended sectors.
DATA# POLLING-Q7
The MX29F400C T/B also features Data# Polling as a
method to indicate to the host system that the Automatic Program or Erase algorithms are either in progress
or completed.
ERASE RESUME
While the Automatic Programming algorithm is in operation, an attempt to read the device will produce the
complement data of the data last written to Q7. Upon
completion of the Automatic Program Algorithm an attempt to read the device will produce the true data last
written to Q7. The Data# Polling feature is valid after the
rising edge of the fourth WE# or CE#, whichever happens first, pulse of the four write pulse sequences for
automatic program.
This command will cause the command register to clear
the suspend state and return back to Sector Erase mode
but only if an Erase Suspend command was previously
issued. Erase Resume will not have any effect in all
other conditions. Another Erase Suspend command can
be written after the chip has resumed erasing. However,
a 400us time delay must be required after the erase resume command, if the system implements an endless
erase suspend/resume loop, or the number of erase suspend/resume is exceeded 1024 times. The erase times
will be expended if the erase behavior always be suspended.
While the Automatic Erase algorithm is in operation, Q7
will read "0" until the erase operation is competed. Upon
completion of the erase operation, the data on Q7 will
read "1". The Data# Polling feature is valid after the
rising edge of the sixth WE# or CE#, whichever happens
first pulse of six write pulse sequences for automatic
chip/sector erase.
SET-UP AUTOMATIC PROGRAM COMMANDS
To initiate Automatic Program mode, A three-cycle command sequence is required. There are two "unlock" write
cycles. These are followed by writing the Automatic Program command A0H.
The Data# Polling feature is active during Automatic Program/Erase algorithm or sector erase time-out. (see section Q3 Sector Erase Timer)
Once the Automatic Program command is initiated, the

MX29F400C T/B
RY/BY#:Ready/Busy#
pended. Alternatively, the system can use Q7.
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that
indicates whether an Automatic Erase/Program algorithm
is in progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid
after the rising edge of the final WE# or CE#, whichever
happens first, 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.
If a program address falls within a protected sector, Q6
toggles for approximately 2 us after the program command sequence is written, then returns to reading array
data.
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 4 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on Q6.
Q6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program mode,
and stops toggling once the Automatic Program algorithm
is complete.
Q2:Toggle Bit II
The "Toggle Bit II" on Q2, when used with Q6, indicates
whether a particular sector is actively erasing (that is,
the Automatic Erase algorithm is in process), or whether
that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit I is valid after
the rising edge of the final WE# or CE#, whichever happens first, pulse in the command sequence.
Table 4 shows the outputs for RY/BY#.
Q6:Toggle BIT I
Toggle Bit I on Q6 indicates whether an Automatic 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# or CE#, whichever
happens first, pulse in the command sequence (prior to
the program or erase operation), and during the sector
time-out.
Q2 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 Q2 cannot distinguish whether the sector
is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. Q6, 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 sectors and mode information. Refer to
Table 4 to compare outputs for Q2 and Q6.
During an Automatic Program or Erase algorithm operation, successive read cycles to any address cause Q6
to toggle. The system may use either OE# or CE# to
control the read cycles. When the operation is complete,
Q6 stops toggling.
Reading Toggle Bits Q6/ Q2
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, Q6 toggles and
returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors
are protected, the Automatic Erase algorithm erases the
unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors
that are protected.
Whenever the system initially begins reading toggle bit
status, it must read Q7-Q0 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 Q7-Q0 on the following read cycle.
The system can use Q6 and Q2 together to determine
whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase suspended. When the device is actively erasing (that is, the
Automatic Erase algorithm is in progress), Q6 toggling.
When the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Q6
stops toggling. However, the system must also use Q2
to determine which sectors are erasing or erase-sus-
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 Q5 is high
(see the section on Q5). If it is, the system should then
P/N:PM1200
REV. 1.0, DEC. 20, 2005
11
MX29F400C T/B
determine again whether the toggle bit is toggling, since
the toggle bit may have stopped toggling just as Q5 went
high. If the toggle bit is no longer 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.
program a non blank location without erasing. In this
case the device locks out and never completes the Automatic Algorithm operation. Hence, the system never
reads a valid data on Q7 bit and Q6 never stops toggling.
Once the Device has exceeded timing limits, the Q5 bit
will indicate a "1". Please note that this is not a device
failure condition since the device was incorrectly used.
The remaining scenario is that system initially determines
that the toggle bit is toggling and Q5 has not gone high.
The system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and
Q5 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.
DATA PROTECTION
The MX29F400C T/B is designed to offer protection
against accidental erasure or programming caused by
spurious system level signals that may exist during power
transition. During power up the device automatically resets the state machine in the Read mode. In addition,
with its control register architecture, alteration of the
memory contents only occurs after successful completion of specific command sequences. The device also
incorporates several features to prevent inadvertent write
cycles resulting from VCC power-up and power-down transition or system noise.
Q5
Exceeded Timing Limits
Q5 will indicate if the program or erase time has exceeded
the specified limits (internal pulse count). Under these
conditions Q5 will produce a "1". This time-out condition
indicates that the program or erase cycle was not successfully completed. Data# Polling and Toggle Bit are
the only operating functions of the device under this condition.
TEMPORARY SECTOR UNPROTECT
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously
protected sector to change data in-system. The Temporary Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the
RESET# pin to VID(11.5V-12.5V). During this mode, formerly protected sectors can be programmed or erased
as un-protected sector. Once VID is remove from the
RESET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are protected again.
If this time-out condition occurs during sector erase operation, it specifies that a particular sector is bad and it
may not be reused. However, other sectors are still functional and may be used for the program or erase operation. The device must be reset to use other sectors.
Write the Reset command sequence to the device, and
then execute program or erase command sequence. This
allows the system to continue to use the other active
sectors in the device.
Q3
Sector Erase Timer
After the completion of the initial sector erase command
sequence, the sector erase time-out will begin. Q3 will
remain low until the time-out is complete. Data# Polling
and Toggle Bit are valid after the initial sector erase command sequence.
If this time-out condition occurs during the chip erase
operation, it specifies that the entire chip is bad or combination of sectors are bad.
If this time-out condition occurs during the byte programming operation, it specifies that the entire sector containing that byte is bad and this sector may not be reused, (other sectors are still functional and can be reused).
If Data# Polling or the Toggle Bit indicates the device has
been written with a valid erase command, Q3 may be
used to determine if the sector erase timer window is
still open. If Q3 is high ("1") the internally controlled
erase cycle has begun; attempts to write subsequent
commands to the device will be ignored until the erase
The time-out condition may also appear if a user tries to
P/N:PM1200
REV. 1.0, DEC. 20, 2005
12
MX29F400C T/B
operation is completed as indicated by Data# Polling or
Toggle Bit. If Q3 is low ("0"), the device will accept additional sector erase commands. To insure the command
has been accepted, the system software should check
the status of Q3 prior to and following each subsequent
sector erase command. If Q3 were high on the second
status check, the command may not have been accepted.
WRITE PULSE "GLITCH" PROTECTION
Noise pulses of less than 5ns(typical) on CE# or WE#
will not initiate a write cycle.
LOGICAL INHIBIT
Writing is inhibited by holding any one of OE# = VIL,
CE# = VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle CE#
and WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a logical
one.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
In order to reduce power switching effect, each device
should have a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor connected between its VCC and GND.
