GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AS29LV016 is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only
Flash memory organized as 2,097,152 bytes
or 1,048,576 words. The word-wide data (x16)
appears on DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data
appears on DQ7–DQ0. This device is designed
to be programmed in-system with the standard
system 3.0 volt VCC supply. A 12.0 V VPP or 5.0
VCC are not required for write or erase operations.
The device can also be programmed in standard
EPROM programmers.
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 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 device offers access times of 70 ns, 90 ns
and 100 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 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.
The device requires only a single 3.0 volt
power supply for both read and write functions.
Internally generated and regulated voltages are
provided for the program and erase operations.
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 the sectors of memory. This
can be achieved in-system or via programming
equipment.
The AS29LV016 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.
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume 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 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.
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.
The Unlock Bypass mode facilitates faster
programming times by requiring only two write
cycles to program data instead of four.
The device offers two power-saving features.
When addresses have been stable for a specified
amount of time, the device enters the automatic
sleep mode. The system can also place the device
into the standby mode. Power consumption is
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 is not

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 com-posed 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. Table 1 lists the device bus operations, the inputs and control levels they require,
and the resulting output. The following subsections describe each of these operations in further detail.

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.

BOOT SECTOR FLASH
AS29LV016
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple
sectors, or the entire device. Table 2 on page 9 and
Table 3 on page 10 indicate the address space that
each sector occupies. A “sector address” consists of the
address bits required to uniquely select a sector. The
Command Definitions on page 17 has details on erasing
a sector or the entire chip, or suspending/resuming the
erase operation.
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.
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 Autoselect Mode on page 11 and
Autoselect Command Sequence on page 17 for more
information.
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.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the
active current specification for the write mode. AC
Characteristics on page 29 contains timing specification
tables and timing diagrams for write operations.
See Reading Array Data on page 17 for more information.
Refer to the AC Read Operations on page 29 for timing
specifications and to Figure 12, on page 29 for the timing
diagram. ICC1 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 DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC
read specifications apply. Refer to Write Operation Status
on page 22 for more information, and to AC Characteristics
on page 29 for timing diagrams.
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. See Word Byte Configuration on page 6 for
more information.
The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facilitate
faster programming. Once the device enters the Unlock
Bypass mode, only two write cycles are required to
program a word or byte, instead of four. Word Byte
Program Command Sequence on page 18 has details
on programming data to the device using both standard
and Unlock Bypass command sequences.

STANDBY MODE
RESET#: HARDWARE RESET PIN
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 RESET# pin provides a hardware method of
resetting the device to reading array data. When the
system drives the RESET# pin to VIL 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.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the
CE# and RESET# pins are both held at VCC ± 0.3 V.
(Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
VIH.) If CE# and RESET# are held at VIH, but not within
VCC ± 0.3 V, the device will be in the standby mode, but
the standby current will be greater. 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.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. When RESET# is held at VSS±0.3 V, the device
draws CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET# is held
at VIL but not within VSS±0.3 V, the standby current will
be greater.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming,
the device draws active current until the operation is
completed.
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.
ICC3 and ICC4 represents the standby current specification
shown in the table in DC Characteristics on page 27.
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 tables in AC Characteristics on page 29 for
RESET# parameters and to Figure 13, on page 30 for
the timing diagram.
AUTOMATIC SLEEP MODE
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device
energy consumption. The device automatically enables
this mode when addresses remain stable for tACC + 30 ns.
The automatic sleep mode is independent of the CE#,
WE#, and OE# control signals. Standard address access
timings provide new data when addresses are changed.
While in sleep mode, output data is latched and always
available to the system. ICC4 in the DC Characteristics on
page 27 represents the automatic sleep mode 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.
In addition, when verifying sector protection, the sector
address must appear on the appropriate highest order
address bits (see Table 2 on page 9 and Table 3 on
page 10). Table 4, immediately below, 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.
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
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in Table 9 on page 21. This
method does not require VID. See Command Definitions
on page 17 for details on using the autoselect mode.

SECTOR PROTECTION / UNPROTECTION
The primary method requires VID on the RESET# pin
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2, on page 13 shows the
algorithms and Figure 22, on page 36 shows the timing
diagram. This method uses standard microprocessor
bus cycle timing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected
sectors must first be protected prior to the first sector
unprotect write cycle.
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 device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or
unprotected. See Autoselect Mode above for details.
The alternate method intended only for programming
equipment requires VID on address pin A9 and OE#.
Sector protection/unprotection can be implemented via
two methods.

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 Figure 21, on page 35 shows

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE
(CFI)
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines
device and host system software interrogation handshake,
which allows specific vendor-specified software algorithms
to be used for entire families of devices. Software
support can then be device-independent, JEDEC IDindependent, and forward- and backward-compatible
for the specified flash device families. Flash vendors
can standardize their existing interfaces for long-term
compatibility.
The system can also write the CFI query command when
the device is in the autoselect mode. The device enters
the CFI query mode, and the system can read CFI data
at the addresses given in Tables 5–8. The system must
write the reset command to return the device to the
autoselect mode.
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the system
writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to address 55h in
word mode (or address AAh in byte mode), any time the
device is ready to read array data. The system can read
CFI information at the addresses given in Tables 5–8.
In word mode, the upper address bits (A7–MSB) must
be all zeros. To terminate reading CFI data, the system
must write the reset command.

HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles
for programming or erasing provides data protection
against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 9 on page 21 for
command definitions). 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.
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.
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.
AS29LV016
Rev. 2.2 01/10
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.
Micross Components reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
16
COTS PEM
BOOT SECTOR FLASH
AS29LV016
Once erasure begins, however, the device ignores reset
commands until the operation is complete.
COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or
sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 9 on page 21 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 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.
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 29.
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).
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.
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
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 on page 20 for more information
on this mode.
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and devices codes,
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
Table 9 on page 21 shows the address and data
requirements. This method is an alternative to that shown
in Table 4 on page 11, 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.
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 Reset Command,
next.
A read cycle at address XX00h 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 word mode (or 04h in byte mode)
returns 01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it is
unprotected. Refer to Table 2 on page 9 and Table 3 on
page 10 for valid sector addresses.

WORD/BYTE PROGRAM COMMAND
SEQUENCE
This mode dispenses with the initial two unlock cycles
required in the standard program command sequence,
resulting in faster total programming time. Table 9 on
page 21 shows the requirements for the command
sequence.
The system may program the device by word or byte,
depending on the state of the BYTE# pin. Programming
is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program command
sequence is initiated by writing two unlock write 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 generates the program pulses and verifies
the programmed cell margin. Table 9 on page 21 shows
the address and data requirements for the byte program
command sequence.
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock Bypass
Program and Unlock Bypass Reset commands are valid.
To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system must issue
the two-cycle unlock bypass reset command sequence.
The first cycle must contain the data 90h; the second
cycle the data 00h. Addresses are don’t care for both
cycles. The device then returns to reading array data.
Figure 3 illustrates the algorithm for the program
operation. See Erase / Program Operations on page 32
for parameters, and to Figure 16, on page 33 for timing
diagrams.
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 on page 22 for
information on these status bits.
START
Any commands written to the device during the
Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the programming
operation. The Byte Program command sequence should
be reinitiated once the device has reset to reading array
data, to ensure data integrity.
Write Program
Command Sequence
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.

UNLOCK BYPASS COMMAND SEQUENCE
Increment Address
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program
bytes or words to the device faster than using the
standard program command sequence. The unlock
bypass command sequence is initiated by first writing
two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle
containing the unlock bypass command, 20h. The device
then enters the unlock bypass mode. A two-cycle unlock
bypass program command sequence is all that is required
to program in this mode. The first cycle in this sequence
contains the unlock bypass program command, A0h; the
second cycle contains the program address and data.

CHIP ERASE COMMAND SEQUENCE
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 reenabled 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.
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. Table 9
on page 21 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 monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector
erase timer has timed out. (See DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
on page 25.) The time-out begins from the rising edge of
the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
The system can determine the status of the erase
operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY#. See
Write Operation Status on page 22 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.
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.
Figure 4, on page 20 illustrates the algorithm for the
erase operation. See Erase / Program Operations on
page 32 for parameters, and Figure 17, on page 33 for
timing diagrams.

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
addi-tional unlock write cycles are then followed by
the address of the sector to be erased, and the sector
erase command. Table 9 on page 21 shows the address
and data requirements for the sector erase command
sequence.

ERASE SUSPEND / ERASE RESUME
COMMANDS
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.
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.
START
Write Erase
Command Sequence
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 terminates the
time-out period and suspends the erase operation.
Data Poll
from System
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, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine if a
sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. See
Write Operation Status on page 22 for information on
these status bits.
No
Data = FFh?
Yes
Erasure Completed
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 DQ7 or DQ6 status
bits, just as in the standard program operation. See Write
Operation Status on page 22 for more information.
Notes:
1. See Table 9 on page 21 for erase command
sequence.
2. See DQ3: Sector Erase Timer on page 25 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.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status
of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7, and RY/
BY#. Table 10 on page 25 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.
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. Figure 18, on
page 34, illustrates this.
Table 10 on page 25 shows the outputs for Data#
Polling on DQ7. Figure 5 below shows the Data# Polling
algorithm.
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.
START
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
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 1 μs, then the
device returns to reading array data.
DQ7 = Data?
No
No
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.
DQ5 = 1?
Yes
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
DQ7 = Data?
Yes
No
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.
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.

If a program address falls within a protected sector,
DQ6 toggles for approximately 1 μs after the program
command sequence is written, then returns to reading
array data.
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.
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Program
algorithm is complete.
Table 10 on page 25 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit
I on DQ6. Figure 6, on page 24 shows the toggle bit
algorithm in flowchart form, and Reading Toggle Bits
DQ6/DQ2 on page 24 explains the algorithm. Figure 19,
on page 34 shows the toggle bit timing diagrams. Figure
20, on page 5 shows the differences between DQ2 and
DQ6 in graphical form. See also the subsection on DQ2:
Toggle Bit II below.
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 10 on page 25 shows the outputs for RY/BY#.
Figures: Figure 12, on page 29, Figure 13, on page 30,
Figure 16, on page 33 and Figure 17, on page 33 shows
RY/BY# for read, reset, program, and erase operations,
respectively.
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.
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.
DQ2 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 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 10 on page 25 to compare outputs for DQ2 and
DQ6.
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.
Figure 6, on page 24 shows the toggle bit algorithm
in flowchart form, and the section Reading Toggle Bits
DQ6/DQ2 on page 24 explains the algorithm. See also
the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection. Figure 19, on page
34 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure 20, on
page 35 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6
in graphical form.
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine
whether a sector is actively erasing or is erasesuspended. 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 on
page 22).

READING TOGGLE BITS DQ6/DQ2
Refer to Figure 6 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, the system
would note and store the value of the toggle bit after
the first read. After the second read, the system would
compare the new value of the toggle bit with the first. If
the toggle bit is not toggling, the device has completed
the program or erase operation. The system can read
array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the following read cycle.
START
Read DQ7–DQ0
Read DQ7–DQ0
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

determining the status as described in the previous
paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to perform other

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 10 shows the outputs
for DQ3.
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 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 erase commands
will always be less than 50 μs. See also the Sector Erase
Command Sequence section on page 19.

Notes:
1.Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, VCC = 3.0 V, 100,000 cycles, checkerboard data pattern.
2.Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 2.7 V, 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 two- or four-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See Table 9
on page 21 for further information on command definitions.
6.The device has a minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 100,000 cycles per sector.
