General Description
Reading data out of the device is similar to reading from
other Flash or EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by writing the proper program
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Program
algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically times the
program pulse widths and verifies proper program margin.
Device erasure occurs by executing the proper erase
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase
algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically
preprograms the array (if it is not already programmed)
before executing the erase operation. During erase, the
device automatically times the erase pulse widths and
verifies proper erase margin.
The host system can detect whether a program or erase
operation is complete by reading the I/O7 ( Data Polling) and
I/O6 (toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle has
been completed, the device is ready to read array data or
accept another command.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be
erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data
contents of other sectors. The A29040B is fully erased when
shipped from the factory.
The hardware sector protection feature disables operations
for both program and erase in any combination of the sectors
of memory. This can be achieved via programming
equipment.
The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put erase on
hold for any period of time to read data from, or program
data to, any other sector that is not selected for erasure.
True background erase can thus be achieved.
Power consumption is greatly reduced when the device is
placed in the standby mode.
The A29040B is a 5.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as
524,288 bytes of 8 bits each. The 512 Kbytes of data are
further divided into eight sectors of 64 Kbytes each for flexible
sector erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on I/O0 I/O7 while the addresses are input on A0 to A18. The
A29040B is offered in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP, and PDIP
packages. This device is designed to be programmed insystem with the standard system 5.0volt VCC supply.
Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for in-system write or
erase operations. However, the A29040B can also be
programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The A29040B has a second toggle bit, I/O2, to indicate
whether the addressed sector is being selected for erase, and
also offers the ability to program in the Erase Suspend mode.
The standard A29040B offers access times of 55, 70 and 90
ns, allowing high-speed microprocessors to operate without
wait states. To eliminate bus contention the device has
separate chip enable ( CE ), write enable ( WE ) and output
enable ( OE ) controls.
The device requires only a single 5.0 volt power supply for
both read and write functions. Internally generated and
regulated voltages are provided for the program and erase
operations.
The A29040B is entirely software command set compatible
with the JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard.
Commands are written to the command register using
standard microprocessor write timings. Register contents
serve as input to an internal state-machine that controls the
erase and programming circuitry.
Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data
needed for the programming and erase operations.

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

sections for more information.
ICC2 in the Characteristics table represents the active current
specification for the write mode. The "AC Characteristics"
section contains timing specification tables and timing
diagrams for write operations.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outputs, the system must drive
the CE and OE pins to VIL. CE is the power control and
selects the device. OE is the output control and gates array
data to the output pins. WE should remain at VIH all the time
during read operation. The internal state machine is set for
reading array data upon device power-up, or after a
hardware reset. This ensures that no spurious alteration of
the memory content occurs during the power transition. No
command is necessary in this mode to obtain array data.
Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert valid
addresses on the device address inputs produce valid data
on the device data outputs. The device remains enabled for
read access until the command register contents are altered.
See "Reading Array Data" for more information. Refer to the
AC Read Operations table for timing specifications and to the
Read Operations Timings diagram for the timing waveforms,
lCC1 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active
current specification for reading array data.
Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system may
check the status of the operation by reading the status bits
on I/O7 - I/O0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC read
specifications apply. Refer to "Write Operation Status" for
more information, and to each AC Characteristics section for
timing diagrams.
Standby Mode
When the system is not reading or writing to the device, it
can place the device in the standby mode. In this mode,
current consumption is greatly reduced, and the outputs are
placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE
input.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the CE
pin is held at VCC ± 0.5V. (Note that this is a more restricted
voltage range than VIH.) The device enters the TTL standby
mode when CE is held at VIH. The device requires the
standard access time (tCE) before it is ready to read data.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming,
the device draws active current until the operation is
completed.
ICC3 in the DC Characteristics tables represents the standby
current specification.
To write a command or command sequence (which includes
programming data to the device and erasing sectors of
memory), the system must drive WE and CE to VIL, and
OE to VIH. An erase operation can erase one sector,
multiple sectors, or the entire device. The Sector Address
Tables indicate the address range that each sector occupies.
A "sector address" consists of the address inputs required to
uniquely select a sector. See the "Command Definitions"
section for details on erasing a sector or the entire chip, or
suspending/resuming the erase operation.
After the system writes the autoselect command sequence,
the device enters the autoselect mode. The system can then
read autoselect codes from the internal register (which is
separate from the memory array) on I/O7 - I/O0. Standard
read cycle timings apply in this mode. Refer to the
Output Disable Mode
When the OE input is at VIH, output from the device is
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high impedance
state.

Autoselect Mode
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device
identification, and sector protection verification, through
identifier codes output on I/O7 - I/O0. This mode is primarily
intended for programming equipment to automatically match
a device to be programmed with its corresponding
programming algorithm. However, the autoselect codes can
also be accessed in-system through the command register.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect mode
requires VID (11.5V to 12.5 V) on address pinA9. Address
pins A6, A1, and AO must be as shown in Autoselect Codes
(High Voltage Method) table. In addition, when verifying
sector protection, the sector address must appear on the
appropriate highest order address bits. Refer to the
corresponding Sector Address Tables. The Command
Definitions table shows the remaining address bits that are
don't care. When all necessary bits have been set as
required, the programming equipment may then read the
corresponding identifier code on I/O7 - I/O0.To access the
autoselect codes in-system, the host system can issue the
autoselect command via the command register, as shown in
the Command Definitions table. This method does not
require VID. See "Command Definitions" for details on using
the autoselect mode.

Sector Protection/Unprotection
Power-Up Write Inhibit
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hardware
sector unprotection feature re-enables both program and
erase operations in previously protected sectors.
Sector protection/unprotection must be implemented using
programming equipment. The procedure requires a high
voltage (VID) on address pin A9 and the control pins.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or
unprotected. See "Autoselect Mode" for details.
If WE = CE = VIL and OE = VIH during power up, the
device does not accept commands on the rising edge of
WE . The internal state machine is automatically reset to
reading array data on the initial power-up.
Command Definitions
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences
into the command register initiates device operations. The
Command Definitions table defines the valid register
command sequences. Writing incorrect address and data
values or writing them in the improper sequence resets the
device to reading array data.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE or CE ,
whichever happens later. All data is latched on the rising
edge of WE or CE , whichever happens first. Refer to the
appropriate timing diagrams in the "AC Characteristics"
section.
Hardware Data Protection
The requirement of command unlocking sequence for
programming or erasing provides data protection against
inadvertent writes (refer to the Command Definitions table).
In addition, the following hardware data protection measures
prevent accidental erasure or programming, which might
otherwise be caused by spurious system level signals during
VCC power-up transitions, or from system noise. The device
is powered up to read array data to avoid accidentally writing
data to the array.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array
data after completing an Embedded Program or
Embedded Erase algorithm. After the device accepts
an Erase Suspend command, the device enters the
Erase Suspend mode. The system can read array
data using the standard read timings, except that if it
reads at an address within erase-suspended sectors,
the device outputs status data. After completing a
programming operation in the Erase Suspend mode, the
Write Pulse "Glitch" Protection
Noise pulses of less than 5ns (typical) on OE , CE or WE
do not initiate a write cycle.
Logical Inhibit
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE =VIL,
CE = VIH or WE = VIH. To initiate a write cycle, CE and
WE must be a logical zero while OE is a logical one.

system may once again read array data with the same
exception. See "Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands"
for more information on this mode.
The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the
device for reading array data if I/O5 goes high, or while in the
autoselect mode. See the "Reset Command" section, next.
See also "Requirements for Reading Array Data" in the
"Device Bus Operations" section for more information. The

required to provide further controls or timings. The device
automatically provides internally generated program pulses
and verify the programmed cell margin. The Command
Definitions table shows the address and data requirements
for the byte program command sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the
device then returns to reading array data and addresses are
no longer latched. The system can determine the status of
the program operation by using I/O7 or I/O6. See "Write
Operation Status" for information on these status bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded
Program Algorithm are ignored. Programming is allowed in
any sequence and across sector boundaries. A bit cannot be
programmed from a "0" back to a "1 ". Attempting to do so
may halt the operation and set I/O5 to "1", or cause the
Data Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was
successful. However, a succeeding read will show that the
data is still "0". Only erase operations can convert a "0" to a
"1".
Reset Command
Writing the reset command to the device resets the device to
reading array data. Address bits are don't care for this
command. The reset command may be written between the
sequence cycles in an erase command sequence before
erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array data.
Once erasure begins, however, the device ignores reset
commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence
cycles in a program command sequence before
programming begins. This resets the device to reading array
data (also applies to programming in Erase Suspend mode).
Once programming begins, however, the device ignores
reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence
cycles in an autoselect command sequence. Once in the
autoselect mode, the reset command must be written to
return to reading array data (also applies to autoselect
during Erase Suspend).
If I/O5 goes high during a program or erase operation, writing
the reset command returns the device to reading array data
(also applies during Erase Suspend).

Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host system
to access the manufacturer and devices codes, and
determine whether or not a sector is protected. The
Command Definitions table shows the address and data
requirements. This method is an alternative to that shown in
the Autoselect Codes (High Voltage Method) table, which is
intended for PROM programmers and requires VID on
address bit A9.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writing two
unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect command. The
device then enters the autoselect mode, and the system
may read at any address any number of times, without
initiating another command sequence.
A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufacturer
code and another read cycle at XX03h retrieves the
continuation code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns
the device code. A read cycle containing a sector address
(SA) and the address 02h in returns 01h if that sector is
protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to the Sector
Address tables for valid sector addresses.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.

Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the Erase
Suspend command is valid. All other commands are
ignored.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading array data and addresses are no
longer latched. The system can determine the status of the
erase operation by using I/O7, I/O6, or I/O2. Refer to "Write
Operation Status" for information on these status bits.
Figure 2 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation.
Refer to the Erase/Program Operations tables in the "AC
Characteristics" section for parameters, and to the Sector
Erase Operations Timing diagram for timing waveforms.
Chip Erase Command Sequence
Chip erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The chip erase
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles,
followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock write
cycles are then followed by the chip erase command, which
in turn invokes the Embedded Erase algorithm. The device
does not require the system to preprogram prior to erase.
The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms
and verifies the entire memory for an all zero data pattern
prior to electrical erase. The system is not required to
provide any controls or timings during these operations. The
Command Definitions table shows the address and data
requirements for the chip erase command sequence.
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded
Erase algorithm are ignored. The system can determine the
status of the erase operation by using I/O7, I/O6, or I/O2. See
"Write Operation Status" for information on these status bits.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading array data and addresses are no
longer latched.
Figure 2 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. See
the Erase/Program Operations tables in "AC Characteristics"
for parameters, and to the Chip/Sector Erase Operation
Timings for timing waveforms.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to interrupt
a sector erase operation and then read data from, or
program data to, any sector not selected for erasure. This
command is valid only during the sector erase operation,
including the 50µs time-out period during the sector erase
command sequence. The Erase Suspend command is
ignored if written during the chip erase operation or
Embedded Program algorithm. Writing the Erase Suspend
command during the Sector Erase time-out immediately
terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase
operation. Addresses are "don't cares" when writing the
Erase Suspend command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a
sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum of
20µs to suspend the erase operation. However, when the
Erase Suspend command is written during the sector erase
time-out, the device immediately terminates the time-out
period and suspends the erase operation.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the system
can read array data from or program data to any sector not
selected for erasure. (The device "erase suspends" all
sectors selected for erasure.) Normal read and write timings
and command definitions apply. Reading at any address
within erase-suspended sectors produces status data on
I/O7 - I/O0. The system can use I/O7, or I/O6 and I/O2
together, to determine if a sector is actively erasing or is
erase-suspended. See "Write Operation Status" for
information on these status bits.
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete,
the system can once again read array data within nonsuspended sectors. The system can determine the status of
the program operation using the I/O7 or I/O6 status bits, just
as in the standard program operation. See "Write Operation
Status" for more information.
The system may also write the autoselect command
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend mode.
The device allows reading autoselect codes even at
addresses within erasing sectors, since the codes are not
stored in the memory array. When the device exits the
autoselect mode, the device reverts to the Erase Suspend
mode, and is ready for another valid operation. See
"Autoselect Command Sequence" for more information.
The system must write the Erase Resume command
(address bits are "don't care") to exit the erase suspend
mode and continue the sector erase operation. Further
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another Erase
Suspend command can be written after the device has
resumed erasing.
Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The sector erase
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles,
followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock write
cycles are then followed by the address of the sector to be
erased, and the sector erase command. The Command
Definitions table shows the address and data requirements
for the sector erase command sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram the
memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm
automatically programs and verifies the sector for an all zero
data pattern prior to electrical erase. The system is not
required to provide any controls or timings during these
operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase timeout of 50µs begins. During the time-out period, additional
sector addresses and sector erase commands may be
written. Loading the sector erase buffer may be done in any
sequence, and the number of sectors may be from one
sector to all sectors. The time between these additional
cycles must be less than 50µs, otherwise the last address
and command might not be accepted, and erasure may
begin. It is recommended that processor interrupts be
disabled during this time to ensure all commands are
accepted. The interrupts can be re-enabled after the last
Sector Erase command is written. If the time between
additional sector erase commands can be assumed to be
less than 50µs, the system need not monitor I/O3. Any
command other than Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during
the time-out period resets the device to reading array data.
The system must rewrite the command sequence and any
additional sector addresses and commands.
The system can monitor I/O3 to determine if the sector erase
timer has timed out. (See the " I/O3: Sector Erase Timer"
section.) The time-out begins from the rising edge of the final
WE pulse in the command sequence.

Write Operation Status
Several bits, I/O2, I/O3, I/O5, I/O6, and I/O7, are provided in
the A29040B to determine the status of a write operation.
Table 5 and the following subsections describe the functions
of these status bits. I/O7, I/O6 and I/O2 each offer a method
for determining whether a program or erase operation is
complete or in progress. These three bits are discussed first.
START
Read I/O7-I/O0
Address = VA
I/O7: Data Polling
The Data Polling bit, I/O7, indicates to the host system
whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or
completed, or whether the device is in Erase Suspend. Data
Yes
Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final WE pulse in
the program or erase command sequence.
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs
on I/O7 the complement of the datum programmed to I/O7.
This I/O7 status also applies to programming during Erase
Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is
complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to I/O7.
The system must provide the program address to read valid
status information on I/O7. If a program address falls within a
protected sector, Data Polling on I/O7 is active for
approximately 2µs, then the device returns to reading array
data.
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data Polling
produces a "0" on I/O7. When the Embedded Erase algorithm
is complete, or if the device enters the Erase Suspend mode,
Data Polling produces a "1" on I/O7.This is analogous to the
complement/true datum output described for the Embedded
Program algorithm: the erase function changes all the bits in
a sector to "1"; prior to this, the device outputs the
"complement," or "0." The system must provide an address
within any of the sectors selected for erasure to read valid
status information on I/O7.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors
selected for erasing are protected, Data Polling on I/O7 is
active for approximately 100µs, then the device returns to
reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected,
the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected
sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are protected.
When the system detects I/O7 has changed from the
complement to true data, it can read valid data at I/O7 - I/O0
on the following read cycles. This is because I/O7 may
change asynchronously with I/O0 - I/O6 while Output Enable
( OE ) is asserted low. The Data Polling Timings (During
Embedded Algorithms) figure in the "AC Characteristics"
section illustrates this. Table 5 shows the outputs for Data

No
No
I/O5 = 1?

Note :
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector
erase operation, a valid address is an address within any
sector selected for erasure. During chip erase, a valid
address is any non-protected sector address.
2. I/O7 should be rechecked even if I/O5 = "1" because
I/O7 may change simultaneously with I/O5.

vs. I/O6 figure shows the differences between I/O2 and I/O6 in
graphical form.
I/O6: Toggle Bit I
Toggle Bit I on I/O6 indicates whether an Embedded Program
or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete, or whether the
device has entered the Erase Suspend mode. Toggle Bit I
may be read at any address, and is valid after the rising edge
of the final WE pulse in the command sequence (prior to
the program or erase operation), and during the sector erase
time-out.
During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm operation,
successive read cycles to any address cause I/O6 to toggle.
(The system may use either OE or CE to control the read
cycles.) When the operation is complete, I/O6 stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors
selected for erasing are protected, I/O6 toggles for
approximately 100µs, then returns to reading array data. If
not all selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase
algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the
selected sectors that are protected.
The system can use I/O6 and I/O2 together to determine
whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended.
When the device is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded
Erase algorithm is in progress), I/O6 toggles. When the
device enters the Erase Suspend mode, I/O6 stops toggling.
However, the system must also use I/O2 to determine which
sectors are erasing or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the
system can use I/O7 (see the subsection on " I/O7 : Data
Polling").
If a program address falls within a protected sector, I/O6
toggles for approximately 2µs after the program command
sequence is written, then returns to reading array data.
I/O6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program mode,
and stops toggling once the Embedded Program algorithm is
complete.
The Write Operation Status table shows the outputs for
Toggle Bit I on I/O6. Refer to Figure 4 for the toggle bit
algorithm, and to the Toggle Bit Timings figure in the "AC
Characteristics" section for the timing diagram. The I/O2 vs.
I/O6 figure shows the differences between I/O2 and I/O6 in
graphical form. See also the subsection on " I/O2: Toggle Bit
II".
Reading Toggle Bits I/O6, I/O2
Refer to Figure 4 for the following discussion. Whenever the
system initially begins reading toggle bit status, it must read
I/O7 - I/O0 at least twice in a row to determine whether a
toggle bit is toggling. Typically, a 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 I/O7 - I/O0 on the following
read cycle.
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the system also
should note whether the value of I/O5 is high (see the section
on I/O5). If it is, the system should then determine again
whether the toggle bit is toggling, since the toggle bit may
have stopped toggling just as I/O5 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.
The remaining scenario is that the system initially determines
that the toggle bit is toggling and I/O5 has not gone high. The
system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and I/O5
through successive read cycles, determining the status as
described in the previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may
choose to perform other system tasks. In this case, the
system must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it
returns to determine the status of the operation (top of Figure
4).
I/O5: Exceeded Timing Limits
I/O5 indicates whether the program or erase time has
exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit. Under these
conditions I/O5 produces a "1." This is a failure condition that
indicates the program or erase cycle was not successfully
completed.
The I/O5 failure condition may appear if the system tries to
program a "1 "to a location that is previously programmed to
"0." Only an erase operation can change a "0" back to a "1."
Under this condition, the device halts the operation, and
when the operation has exceeded the timing limits, I/O5
produces a "1."
Under both these conditions, the system must issue the reset
command to return the device to reading array data.
I/O2: Toggle Bit II
The "Toggle Bit II" on I/O2, when used with I/O6, indicates
whether a particular sector is actively erasing (that is, the
Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), or whether that
sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit II is valid after the
rising edge of the final WE pulse in the command
sequence.
I/O2 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 I/O2 cannot distinguish whether the sector is
actively erasing or is erase-suspended. I/O6, by comparison,
indicates whether the device is actively erasing, or is in
Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish which sectors are
selected for erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for
sector and mode information. Refer to Table 5 to compare
outputs for I/O2 and I/O6.
Figure 4 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and
the section " I/O2: Toggle Bit II" explains the algorithm. See
also the " I/O6: Toggle Bit I" subsection. Refer to the Toggle
Bit Timings figure for the toggle bit timing diagram. The I/O2
PRELIMINARY
(December, 2004, Version 0.2)
I/O3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the system
may read I/O3 to determine whether or not an erase
operation has begun. (The sector erase timer does not apply
to the chip erase command.) If additional sectors are
selected for erasure, the entire time-out also applies after
each additional sector erase command. When the time-out is
complete, I/O3 switches from "0" to "1." The system may
ignore I/O3 if the system can guarantee that the time between
additional sector erase commands will always be less than
50µs. See also the "Sector Erase Command Sequence"
section.

AMIC Technology, Corp.
A29040B Series
After the sector erase command sequence is written, the
system should read the status on I/O7 ( Data Polling) or I/O6
(Toggle Bit 1) to ensure the device has accepted the
command sequence, and then read I/O3. If I/O3 is "1", the
internally controlled erase cycle has begun; all further
commands (other than Erase Suspend) are ignored until the
erase operation is complete. If I/O3 is "0", the device will
accept additional sector erase commands. To ensure the
command has been accepted, the system software should
check the status of I/O3 prior to and following each
subsequent sector erase command. If I/O3 is high on the
second status check, the last command might not have been
accepted. Table 5 shows the outputs for I/O3.

Comments
Excludes 00h programming
prior to erasure (Note 4)
Excludes system-level
overhead (Note 5)
Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 5.0V VCC, 100,000 cycles. Additionally,
programming typically assumes checkerboard pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 4.5V (4.75V for -55), 100,000 cycles.
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes
program faster than the maximum byte program time listed. If the maximum byte program time given is exceeded, only then
does the device set I/O5 = 1. See the section on I/O5 for further information.
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure.
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the four-bus-cycle command sequence for programming. See Table 4
for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a guaranteed minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 100,000 cycles.
