GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F100 is a 1 Mbit, 5.0 Volt-only Flash memory
organized as 131,072 bytes or 65,536 words. The
Am29F100 is offered in 44-pin SO and 48-pin TSOP
packages. Word-wide data appears on DQ0-DQ15;
byte-wide data on DQ0-DQ7. The 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 or erased in standard EPROM programmers.
The standard device offers access times of 70, 90,
120, and 150 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 device is entirely 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. 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 invokes 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 invokes 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
2
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 observing the RY/BY#
pin, or by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6
(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 Erase Suspend feature enables the system to put
erase on hold for any period of time to read data from,
or program data to, a sector that is not being erased.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the
data contents of other sectors. The device is erased
when shipped from the factory.
The hardware data protection measures include a
low VCC detector automatically inhibits write operations
during power transitions. The hardware sector protection feature disables both program and erase operations in any combination of the sectors of memory,
and is implemented using standard EPROM programmers. The temporary sector unprotect feature allows
in-system changes to protected sectors.
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation
in progress and resets the internal state machine to
reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to the
system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also
reset the device, enabling the system microprocessor
to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
The system can place the device into the standby mode.
Power consumption is greatly reduced in this mode.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash
memory manufacturing experience to produce the
h i g h e st l e ve l s o f q u a l i ty, re l i a b il i ty, a n d c o s t
effectiveness. The device electrically erases all bits
within a sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim
tunneling. The bytes are programmed one byte at a
time using the EPROM programming mechanism of
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 command. The contents of the
Table 1.
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.

Notes:
1. Addresses are A15:A0 in word mode (BYTE# = VIH), A15:A-1 in byte mode (BYTE# = VIL).
2. The sector protect and sector unprotect functions must be implemented via programming equipment. See the “Sector Protection/Unprotection” section.
Word/Byte Configuration
The BYTE# pin controls whether the device data I/O
pins DQ15–DQ0 operate in the byte or word configuration. If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘1’, the device is in
word configuration, DQ15–DQ0 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#.
If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘0’, the device is in byte
configuration, and only data I/O pins DQ0–DQ7 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#. The data I/O pins
DQ8–DQ14 are tri-stated, and the DQ15 pin is used as
an input for the LSB (A-1) address function.
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 BYTE# pin determines whether the device outputs array data in words or bytes.
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. 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.
For program operations, the BYTE# pin determines
whether the device accepts program data in bytes
or words. Refer to “Word/Byte Configuration” for
more information.
Am29F100

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” 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 DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this
mode. Refer to the “Autoselect Mode” and “Autoselect
Command Sequence” sections for more information.
ICC2 in the DC 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.
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” 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#
and RESET# pins are both 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#
and RESET# pins are both 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.
The device also enters the standby mode when the
RESET# pin is driven low. Refer to the next section,
“RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin”.
8
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.
RESET#: HARDWARE RESET PIN
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When the system
drives the RESET# pin low for at least a period of tRP,
the device immediately terminates any operation in
progress, tristates all data output pins, and ignores all
read/write attempts for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. The device also resets the internal state machine to reading array data. The operation that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is ready
to accept another command sequence, to ensure data
integrity.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. When RESET# is held at VIL, the device enters
the TTL standby mode; if RESET# is held at VSS ±
0.5 V, the device enters the CMOS standby mode.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash
memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a “0” (busy) until the internal reset operation is complete, which requires a
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The
system can thus monitor RY/BY# to determine whether
the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is asserted
when a program or erase operation is not executing
(RY/BY# pin is “1”), the reset operation is completed
within a time of tREADY (not during Embedded Algorithms). The system can read data tRH after the RESET# pin returns to VIH.
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# parameters and timing diagram.
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 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.
dress 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 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” for details on using the autoselect mode.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect
mode requires VID (11.5 V to 12.5 V) 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, the sector adTable 4.

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.
START
RESET# = VID
(Note 1)
Sector protection/unprotection must be implemented
using programming equipment. The procedure requires a high voltage (VID) on address pin A9 and the
control pins. Details on this method are provided in a
supplement, publication number 20373. Contact an
AMD representative to obtain a copy of the appropriate
document.
Perform Erase or
Program Operations
RESET# = VIH
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” 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
RESET# pin to VID. During this mode, formerly protected sectors can be programmed or erased by selecting the sector addresses. Once VID is removed
from the RESET# pin, all the previously protected
sectors are protected again. Figure 1 shows the algorithm, and the Temporary Sector Unprotect (Figure
17) diagram shows the timing waveforms, for this feature.

Temporary Sector Unprotect Operation
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# = V IL and OE# = V IH during power
up, the device does not accept commands on the
rising edge of WE#. The internal state machine is

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.
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 erasesuspended 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 “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 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” 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).

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.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the programming operation. The program command sequence
should be reinitiated once the device has reset 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 will show that the
data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert a “0”
to a “1”.
A read cycle at address XX00h or retrieves the manufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h in word
mode (or 02h in byte mode) returns the device code.
A read cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the
address 02h in word mode (or 04h in byte mode) returns 01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to the Sector Address tables for valid
sector addresses.

Word/Byte Program Command Sequence
The system may program the device by byte or word,

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. The Command Definitions take 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, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write Operation Status”
for information on these status bits.

Program Operation
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. Note that a hardware
reset during the chip erase operation immediately terminates the operation. The Chip Erase command sequence should be reinitiated once the device has
returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
The system can determine the status of the erase
operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. 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 3 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.
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
time-out 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 sequence
and any additional sector addresses and commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector
erase timer has timed out. (See the “DQ3: Sector
Erase Timer” section.) The time-out begins from the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other commands
are ignored. Note that a hardware reset during the
sector erase operation immediately terminates the operation. The Sector Erase command sequence should
be reinitiated once the device has returned 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 RY/
BY#. Refer to “Write Operation Status” for information
on these status bits.
Figure 3 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.
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 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 time-out, the device immediately ter-
Am29F100
13
minates the time-out period and suspends the erase
operation.
Erase Suspend command can be written after the device has resumed erasing.
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 DQ7–DQ0. The system
can use DQ7 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
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” 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

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7, and
RY/BY#. Table 6 and the following subsections describe the functions of these bits. DQ7, RY/BY#, 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.
Table 6 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.
Figure 4 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.
START
DQ7: Data# Polling
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host
sy stem 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.
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
protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 2 µs, then the device returns to reading
array data.
DQ7 = Data?
No
No
When the system detects DQ7 has changed 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” section illustrates this.
16
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.
Am29F100
18926C-9
Figure 4.
Data# Polling Algorithm
RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that
indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in
progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after
the rising edge of the final WE# 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 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 6 shows the outputs for RY/BY#. The timing diagrams for read, reset, program, and erase shows the
relationship of RY/BY# to other signals.
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 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
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.
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 5 for the toggle bit
algorithm, and to the Toggle Bit Timings figure in the
“AC Characteristics” section for the timing diagram.
Reading Toggle Bit DQ6
Refer to Figure 5 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
has 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 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 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 5).
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has
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 has
exceeded 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 has begun. (The sector erase timer
does not apply to the chip erase command.) If additional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire timeout 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 erase commands will always be less
Am29F100
17
than 50 µs. See also the “Sector Erase Command Sequence” section.
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 has accepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If
DQ3 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
DQ3 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 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 shows the outputs for DQ3.

Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 5.0 V VCC, 100,000 cycles. Additionally,
programming typicals assume checkerboard pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 4.5 V, 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 DQ5 = 1. See the section on DQ5 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 1
for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a guaranteed minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 100,000 cycles.

REVISION SUMMARY FOR AM29F100
Revision B+1
chip/sector erase times (tWHWH1 and tWHWH2, respectively).
Product Selector Guide
Replaced the -75 column (70 ns, ±5%) with the -70 column (70 ns, ±10%).
Ordering Information, Standard Products
The -70 designation is now listed in the part number example.
Erase and Programming Performance
Combined sector and chip erase times, added word
programming times and erase/program cycle times.
Updated specifications.
Revision C
Valid Combinations: Replaced the -75 combinations
with -70. The 70 ns speed grade is now available in the
same combinations as the other speed grades.
Global
Operating Ranges
Revision C+1
VCC Supply Voltages: Changed the -75 designation
to -70.
Table 5, Command Definitions
AC Characteristics
Read Only Operations: Changed the -75 column head
to -70. All parameters remain the same.
Figure 7, Test Conditions: Changed CL in Note 1 from 75 to -70.
Write/Erase/Program Operations: Changed the -75
column head to -70. Changed byte programming and
chip/sector erase times (tWHWH1 and tWHWH2, respectively).
Switching Waveforms
Temporary Sector Unprotect Timing Diagram, Figure
18: Corrected the top waveform. RESET# begins at 0
V, then rises to 12 V in tVIDR.
AC Characteristics
Alternate CE# Controlled Writes: Changed the -75 column head to -70. Changed byte programming and
Made formatting and layout consistent with other data
sheets. Used updated common tables and diagrams.
Address bits A0–A14 are required for unlock cycles.
Therefore, addresses for second and fifth write cycles
are 2AAAh in word mode and 5555h in byte mode. Addresses for first, third, fourth, and sixth cycles are
5555h in word mode and AAAAh in byte mode. Read
cycles are not affected. Deleted Note 5 to reflect the
correction.
Revision C+2
AC Characteristics
Erase/Program Operations; Erase and Program Operations Alternate CE# Controlled Writes: Corrected the
notes reference for tWHWH1 and tWHWH2. These parameters are 100% tested. Corrected the note reference
for tVCS. This parameter is not 100% tested.
Temporary Sector Unprotect Table
Added note reference for tVIDR. This parameter is not
100% tested.
