GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F004B is a 4 Mbit, 5.0 volt-only Flash memory
device organized as 524,288 bytes. The data appears on
DQ0–DQ7. The device is offered in a 32-pin PLCC package.
This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the
standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply. A 12.0 volt VPP is not
required for program or erase operations. The device can also
be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The device offers access times of 70, 90, and 120 ns, allowing
high speed microprocessors to operate without wait states.
To eliminate bus contention each device has separate chip
enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and output enable (OE#)
controls.
Each 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 Am29F004B is entirely command set compatible with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Commands
are written to the command register using standard microprocessor write timing. Register contents serve as inputs to an
internal state-machine that controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also internally latch addresses
and data needed for the programming and erase operations.
Reading data out of the device is similar to reading from other
Flash or EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by executing the program
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Program
algorithm-an internal algorithm that automatically times the
program pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command
sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase algorithm–an
internal algorithm that automatically preprograms the array (if it
2
is not already programmed) before executing the erase operation. During erase, the device automatically times the erase
pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin.
The host system can detect whether a program or erase
operation is complete by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling), or
DQ6 (toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle is
completed, the device is ready to read array data or accept
another command.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be
erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully erased when
shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low VCC
detector that automatically inhibits write operations during
power transitions. The hardware sector protection feature disables both program and erase operations in any combination
of sectors of memory. This can be achieved in-system or 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 sector that is not selected for erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.
The device offers a standby mode as a power-saving feature. Once the system places the device into the standby
mode power consumption is greatly reduced.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash memory
manufacturing experience to produce the highest levels of
quality, reliability and cost effectiveness. The device electrically erases all bits within a sector simultaneously via FowlerNordheim tunnelling. The data is programmed using hot electron injection.

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS
This section describes the requirements and use of the
device bus operations, which are initiated through the internal
command register. The command register itself does not
occupy any addressable memory location. The register is
composed of latches that store the commands, along with the
address and data information needed to execute the com-
mand. 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.

Note: See the sections on Sector Protection and Temporary Sector
Unprotect for more information.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outputs, the system must drive
the CE# and OE# pins to VIL. CE# is the power control and
selects the device. OE# is the output control and gates array
data to the output pins. WE# should remain at VIH.
The internal state machine is set for reading array data upon
device power-up. 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 on page 13 for more information.
Refer to the AC Read Operations table for timing specifications and to the Read Operations Timings diagram for the
timing waveforms. ICC1 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for reading array data.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To write a command or command sequence (which includes
programming data to the device and erasing 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 space that each sector occupies. A “sector address”
consists of the address bits required to uniquely select a
sector. See the Command Definitions on page 13 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
8
separate from the memory array) on DQ7–DQ0. Standard
read cycle timings apply in this mode. Refer to the Autoselect
Mode on page 10 and Autoselect Command Sequence sections for more information.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active
c u r r e n t s p e c i f i c a t i o n f o r t h e w r i t e m od e. T h e AC
Characteristics on page 24 section contains timing specification tables and timing diagrams for write operations.
Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system may check
the status of the operation by reading the status bits on DQ7–
DQ0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC read specifications
apply. Refer to Write Operation Status on page 17 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.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when CE# pin is
held at VCC ± 0.5 V. (Note that this is a more restricted voltage
range than VIH.) The device enters the TTL standby mode
when CE# pin is held at VIH. The device requires standard
access time (tCE) for read access when the device is in either
of these standby modes, before it is ready to read data.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming,
the device draws active current until the operation is
completed.
In the DC Characteristics tables, ICC3 represents the standby
current specification.

Autoselect Mode
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device identification, and sector protection verification, through identifier
codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This mode is primarily intended
for programming 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 on address pin A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0
must be as shown in Autoselect Codes (High Voltage
Method) table. In addition, when verifying sector protection,
Table 4.
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 are set as required, the programming equipment
may then read the corresponding identifier code on DQ7–
DQ0.
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 on page 13
for details on using the autoselect mode.

Sector Protection/Unprotection
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hardware
sector unprotection feature re-enables both program and
erase operations in previously protected sectors.
The primary method requires VID on the OE# pin only, and
can be implemented either in-system or via programming
equipment. Figure 1, on page 11 and 2 show the algorithms
and Figure 16, on page 28, Figure 17, on page 28, and Figure
18, on page 29 show the timing diagrams. This method uses
standard microprocessor bus cycle timing in addition to the
sector unlock and sector relock sequences. For sector unprotect, all unprotected sectors must first be protected prior to
the first sector unprotect write cycle.
10
The alternate method intended only for programming equipment required VID on address pin A9 and OE#. This method
is compatible with programmer routines written for earlier 5.0
volt-only AMD Flash devices. Publication number 22289 contains further details; contact an AMD representative to
request a copy.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected. AMD
offers the option of programming and protecting sectors at its
factory prior to shipping the device through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or
unprotected. See Autoselect Mode on page 10 for details.

Temporary Sector Unprotect
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously protected sectors to change data in-system. The Sector
Unprotect mode is activated by setting the OE# pin to 12.0
Volts (VID). Figure 2 shows the algorithm, and Figure 16, on
page 28 and Figure 17, on page 28 show the timing diagrams, for this feature. While OE# is at VID, the sector unlock
sequence is written to the device. After the sector unlock
sequence is written, the OE# pin is taken back to VIH. The
device is now in the temporary sector unprotect mode.

this mode. Byte program operations require only two cycles,
while sector and chip erase operations only require four

Hardware Data Protection
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles 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 and power-down transitions, or from system
noise.
Low VCC Write Inhibit
When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not accept any
write cycles. This protects data during VCC power-up and
power-down. The command register and all internal program/erase circuits are disabled, and the device resets.
Subsequent writes are ignored until VCC is greater than VLKO.
The system must provide the proper signals to the control
pins to prevent unintentional writes when VCC is greater than
VLKO.
Write Pulse Glitch Protection
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or WE#
do not initiate a write cycle.
Logical Inhibit
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# = VIL,
CE# = VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle, CE# and
WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a logical one.
Power-Up Write Inhibit
If WE# = CE# = VIL and OE# = VIH during power up, the
device does not accept commands on the rising edge of
WE#. The internal state machine is automatically reset to
reading array data on power-up.
The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the
device for reading array data if DQ5 goes high, or while in the
autoselect mode. See the Reset Command section, next.
See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” in the
Device Bus Operations on page 8 section for more information. The Read Operations table provides the read
parameters, and Read Operation Timings diagram shows the
timing diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command to the device resets the device to
reading array data. Address bits are don’t care for this
command.
The reset command may be written between the sequence
cycles in an erase command sequence before erasing
begins. This resets the device to reading array data. Once
erasure begins, however, the device ignores reset commands
until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence
cycles in a program command sequence before programming
begins. This resets the device to reading array data (also
applies to programming in Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins, however, the device ignores reset
commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence
cycles in an autoselect command sequence. Once in the
autoselect mode, the reset command must be written to
return to reading array data (also applies to autoselect during
Erase Suspend).
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation, writing
the reset command returns the device to reading array data
(also applies during Erase Suspend).
COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Autoselect Command Sequence
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.
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.
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 AC Characteristics on page 24.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data after
device power-up. No commands are required to retrieve data.
The device is also ready to read array data after completing
an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the
device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The system can
read array data using the standard read timings, except that
if it reads at an address within erase-suspended sectors, the
device outputs status data. After completing a programming
operation in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once
again read array data with the same exception. See Reset
Command for more information on this mode.
8/5/05
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 or retrieves the manufacturer
code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns the device code.
A read cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the
address 02h in 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.
Byte Program Command Sequence
Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock write
Am29F004B
13
A D V A N C E
I N F O R M A T I O N
cycles, followed by the program set-up command. The
program address and data are written next, which in turn initiate the Embedded Program algorithm. The system is not
required to provide further controls or timings. The device
automatically provides internally generated program pulses
and verify the programmed cell margin. (Note that if the
device is in the temporary sector unprotect mode, the byte
program command sequence only requires two cycles.) 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 DQ7 or DQ6. See Write
Operation Status on page 17 for information on these status
bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded
Program Algorithm are ignored. The Sector Erase command
sequence should be reinitiated once the device returns to
reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across sector
boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed from a 0 back to
a 1. Attempting to do so may halt the operation and set DQ5
to 1, or cause the Data# Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was successful. However, a succeeding read shows
that the data is still 0. Only erase operations can convert a 0
to a 1”.

Figure 4, on page 15 illustrates the algorithm for the erase

No
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded

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. (Note that if the
device is in the temporary sector unprotect mode, the sector
erase command sequence only requires four cycles.) The

Chip Erase Command Sequence
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase timeout of 50 µs begins. During the time-out period, additional
sector addresses and sector erase commands may be
written. Loading the sector erase buffer may be done in any
sequence, and the number of sectors may be from one sector
to all sectors. The time between these additional cycles must
be less than 50 µs, otherwise the last address and command
might not be accepted, and erasure may begin. It is recommended that processor interrupts be disabled during this time
to ensure all commands are accepted. The interrupts can be
re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is written. If
the time between additional sector erase commands can be
assumed to be less than 50 µs, the system need not monitor
DQ3. Any command other than Sector Erase or Erase
Suspend during the time-out period resets the device to
reading array data. The system must rewrite the command
Am29F004B
8/5/05
A D V A N C E
I N F O R M A T I O N
sequence and any additional sector addresses and
commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector erase
timer timed out. (See DQ3: Sector Erase Timer on page 18.)
The time-out begins from the rising edge of the final WE#
pulse in the command sequence.
Once the sector erase operation begins, only the Erase
Suspend command is valid. All other commands are ignored.
The Sector Erase command sequence should be reinitiated
once the device returns to reading array data, to ensure data
integrity.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device
returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer
latched. The system can determine the status of the erase
operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or DQ2. Refer to Write Operation Status on page 17 for information on these status bits.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation.
Refer to the Erase/Program Operations on page 25 for
parameters, and to the Sector Erase Operations Timing
diagram for timing waveforms.
START
Write Erase
Command Sequence
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to interrupt
a sector erase operation and then read data from, or program
data to, any sector not selected for erasure. This command is
valid only during the sector erase operation, including the 50
µs time-out period during the sector erase command
sequence. The Erase Suspend command is ignored if written
during the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algorithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the time-out
period and suspends the erase operation. Addresses are
don’t-cares when writing the Erase Suspend command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a sector
erase operation, the device requires a maximum of 20 µs to
suspend the erase operation. However, when the Erase
Suspend command is written during the sector erase timeout, the device immediately terminates the time-out period
and suspends the erase operation.
After the erase operation is suspended, the system can read
array data from or program data to any sector not selected for
erasure. (The device “erase suspends” all sectors selected
for erasure.) Normal read and write timings and command
definitions apply. Reading at any address within erase-suspended sectors produces status data on DQ7–DQ0. The
system can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended.
See Write Operation Status on page 17 for information on
these status bits.
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete,
the system can once again read array data within non-suspended sectors. The system can determine the status of the
program operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just as
in the standard program operation. See Write Operation
Status on page 17 for more information.

The system may also write the autoselect command

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 on page 13 for more
information.

The system must write the Erase Resume command

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a
write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, and DQ7. Table 6 on
page 19 and the following subsections describe the functions
of these bits. DQ7 and DQ6 each offer a method for determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or
in progress. These three bits are discussed first.
START
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system
whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or completed,
or whether the device is in Erase Suspend. Data# Polling is
valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the
program or erase command sequence.
DQ7 = Data?
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs
on DQ7 the complement of the datum programmed to DQ7.
This DQ7 status also applies to programming during Erase
Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The
system must provide the program address to read valid status
information on DQ7. If a program address falls within a prot e c t e d s e c t o r, D a t a # Po l l i n g o n D Q 7 i s a c t i ve fo r
approximately 2 µs, then the device returns to reading array
data.
No
No
When the system detects DQ7 changes from the complement to true data, it can read valid data at DQ7–DQ0 on the
following read cycles. This is because DQ7 may change
asynchronously with DQ0–DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is
asserted low. The Data# Polling Timings (During Embedded
Algorithms) figure in the AC Characteristics on page 24
section illustrates this.
DQ5 = 1?
Yes
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is
complete, or if the device enters the Erase Suspend mode,
Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7. This is analogous to
the complement/true datum output described for the
Embedded Program algorithm: the erase function changes
all the bits in a sector to “1”; prior to this, the device outputs
the “complement,” or “0.” The system must provide an
address within any of the sectors selected for erasure to read
valid status information on DQ7.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors
selected for erasing are protected, Data# Polling on DQ7 is
active for approximately 100 µs, then the device returns to
reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected,
the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are protected.
Yes
DQ7 = Data?
Yes
No
FAIL
PASS
Notes:
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector erase
operation, a valid address is an address within any sector
selected for erasure. During chip erase, a valid address is any
non-protected sector address.
2. DQ7 should be rechecked even if DQ5 = “1” because DQ7 may
change simultaneously with DQ5.

I N F O R M A T I O N
DQ6: Toggle Bit I
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded
Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete, or
whether the device entered the Erase Suspend mode. Toggle
Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid after the rising
edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence (prior
to the program or erase operation), and during the sector
erase time-out.
During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm operation,
successive read cycles to any address cause DQ6 to toggle.
(The system may use either OE# or CE# to control the read
cycles.) When the operation is complete, DQ6 stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors
selected for erasing are protected, DQ6 toggles for approximately 100 μs, then returns to reading array data. If not all
selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the
selected sectors that are protected.
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine
whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended.
When the device is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded
Erase algorithm is in progress), DQ6 toggles. When the
device enters the Erase Suspend mode, DQ6 stops toggling.
However, the system must also use DQ2 to determine which
sectors are erasing or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the
system can use DQ7 (see the subsection on DQ7: Data#
Polling).
If a program address falls within a protected sector, DQ6
toggles for approximately 2 µs after the program command
sequence is written, then returns to reading array data.
DQ6 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 DQ6. Refer to Figure 6 for the toggle bit algorithm, and to the Toggle Bit Timings figure in the “AC
Characteristics” section for the timing diagram. The DQ2 vs.
DQ6 figure shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in
graphical form. See also the subsection on DQ2: Toggle Bit II.
DQ2: Toggle Bit II
The Toggle Bit II on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indicates
whether a particular sector is actively erasing (that is, the
Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), or whether that
sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit II is valid after the
rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within
those sectors that were selected for erasure. (The system
may use either OE# or CE# to control the read cycles.) But
DQ2 cannot distinguish whether the sector is actively erasing
or is erase-suspended. DQ6, by comparison, indicates
whether the device is actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for
erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and
mode information. Refer to Table 6 on page 19 to compare
outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6, on page 19 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and the section DQ2: Toggle Bit II on page 18
18
explains the algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I on
page 18 subsection. Refer to the Toggle Bit Timings figure for
the toggle bit timing diagram. The DQ2 vs. DQ6 figure shows
the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form.
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2
Refer to Figure 6, on page 19 for the following discussion.
Whenever the system initially begins reading toggle bit
status, it must read DQ7–DQ0 at least twice in a row to determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, 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 completed the program or erase operation. The system can read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the
following read cycle.
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the system also
should note whether the value of DQ5 is high (see the section
on DQ5). If it is, the system should then determine again
whether the toggle bit is toggling, since the toggle bit may
have stopped toggling just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit
is no longer toggling, the device 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 DQ5 has not gone high. The
system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and DQ5
through successive read cycles, determining the status as
described in the previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may
choose to perform other system tasks. In this case, the
system must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it
returns to determine the status of the operation (top of Figure
6, on page 19).
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time exceeded
a specified internal pulse count limit. Under these conditions
DQ5 produces a 1. This is a failure condition that indicates
the program or erase cycle was not successfully completed.
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system tries to
program a 1 to a location that is previously programmed to 0.
Only an erase operation can change a “0” back to a 1.
Under this condition, the device halts the operation, and
when the operation exceeds the timing limits, DQ5 produces
a 1.
Under both these conditions, the system must issue the reset
command to return the device to reading array data.
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the system
may read DQ3 to determine whether or not an erase operation started. (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, DQ3
switches from 0 to 1. The system may ignore DQ3 if the
system can guarantee that the time between additional sector

I N F O R M A T I O N
erase commands is always less than 50 μs. See also the
Sector Erase Command Sequence on page 14 section.
START
After the sector erase command sequence is written, the
system should read the status on DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6
(Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device accepts the command
sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is 1, the internally controlled erase cycle started; all further commands (other than
Erase Suspend) are ignored until the erase operation is complete. If DQ3 is 0, the device accepts additional sector erase
commands. To ensure the command was accepted, the
system software should check the status of DQ3 prior to and
following each subsequent sector erase command. If DQ3 is
high on the second status check, the last command might not
have been accepted. Table 6 on page 19 shows the outputs
for DQ3.

Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 5.0 V VCC, 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally, programming typicals
assume checkerboard pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 4.5 V (4.75 V for ±5% devices), 1,000,000 cycles.
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes program faster
than the maximum program times listed.
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure.
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the four-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See Table for further
information on command definitions.
6. The device has a minimum guaranteed erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
