GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The standard MX29LV640BU offers access time as fast
as 90ns, allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors without wait states. To eliminate bus contention,
the MX29LV640BU has separate chip enable (CE#) and
output enable (OE#) controls.
The MX29LV640BU is a 64-mega bit Flash memory organized as 4M bytes of 16 bits. MXIC's Flash memories
offer the most cost-effective and reliable read/write nonvolatile random access memory. The MX29LV640BU is
packaged in 48-pin TSOP and 63-ball CSP. It is designed
to be reprogrammed and erased in system or in standard
EPROM programmers.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality

with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29LV640BU uses a command register to manage this
functionality.
controlled internally within the device.
AUTOMATIC SECTOR ERASE
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory contents
even after 100,000 erase and program cycles. The MXIC
cell is designed to optimize the erase and program
mechanisms. In addition, the combination of advanced
tunnel oxide processing and low internal electric fields
for erase and programming operations produces reliable
cycling. The MX29LV640BU uses a 2.7V to 3.6V VCC
supply to perform the High Reliability Erase and auto
Program/Erase algorithms.
The MX29LV640BU is sector(s) erasable using MXIC's
Auto Sector Erase algorithm. Sector erase modes allow
sectors of the array to be erased in one erase cycle. The
Automatic Sector Erase algorithm automatically programs the specified sector(s) prior to electrical erase.
The timing and verification of electrical erase are controlled internally within the device.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process. Latch-up protection is proved for stresses up to 100 milliamps on
address and data pin from -1V to VCC + 1V.
AUTOMATIC ERASE ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Erase algorithm requires the user to
write commands to the command register using standard microprocessor write timings. The device will automatically preprogram and verify the entire array. Then
the device automatically times the erase pulse width,
provides the erase verification, and counts the number
of sequences. A status bit toggling between consecutive read cycles provides feedback to the user as to the
status of the programming operation.
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING
The MX29LV640BU is word programmable using the Automatic Programming algorithm. The Automatic Programming algorithm makes the external system do not need
to have time out sequence nor to verify the data programmed. The typical chip programming time at room
temperature of the MX29LV640BU is less than 48 seconds.
Register contents serve as inputs to an internal statemachine which controls the erase and programming circuitry. During write cycles, the command register internally latches address and data needed for the programming and erase operations. During a system write cycle,
addresses are latched on the falling edge, and data are
latched on the rising edge of WE# .
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Programming algorithm require the user
to only write program set-up commands (including 2 unlock write cycle and A0H) and a program command (program data and address). The device automatically times
the programming pulse width, provides the program verification, and counts the number of sequences. A status
bit similar to DATA# polling and a status bit toggling between consecutive read cycles, provide feedback to the
user as to the status of the programming operation.
MXIC's Flash technology combines years of EPROM
experience to produce the highest levels of quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness. The MX29LV640BU electrically erases all bits simultaneously using Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The words are programmed by using
the EPROM programming mechanism of hot electron injection.
During a program cycle, the state-machine will control
the program sequences and command register will not
respond to any command set. During a Sector Erase
cycle, the command register will only respond to Erase
Suspend command. After Erase Suspend is completed,
the device stays in read mode. After the state machine
has completed its task, it will allow the command register to respond to its full command set.
AUTOMATIC CHIP ERASE
The entire chip is bulk erased using 50 ms erase pulses
according to MXIC's Automatic Chip Erase algorithm.
Typical erasure at room temperature is accomplished in
less than 45 seconds. The Automatic Erase algorithm
automatically programs the entire array prior to electrical
erase. The timing and verification of electrical erase are

MX29LV640BU
REQUIREMENTS FOR READING ARRAY
DATA
ACCELERATED PROGRAM OPERATION
The device offers accelerated program operations through
the ACC function. This is one of two functions provided
by the ACC pin. This function is primarily intended to
allow faster manufacturing throughput at the factory.
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.
If the system asserts VHH on this pin, the device automatically enters the aforementioned accelerated program
mode, temporarily unprotects any protected sectors, and
uses the higher voltage on the pin to reduce the time
required for program operations. Removing VHH from the
ACC pin must not be at VHH for operations other than
accelerated programming, or device damage may result.
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 address 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.
STANDBY MODE
MX29LV640BU can be set into Standby mode with two
different approaches. One is using both CE# and RESET# pins and the other one is using RESET# pin only.
WRITE COMMANDS/COMMAND SEQUENCES
To program data to the device or erase sectors of memory
, the system must drive WE# and CE# to VIL, and OE#
to VIH.
When using both pins of CE# and RESET#, a CMOS
Standby mode is achieved with both pins held at Vcc ±
0.3V. Under this condition, the current consumed is less
than 0.2uA (typ.). If both of the CE# and RESET# are
held at VIH, but not within the range of VCC ± 0.3V, the
device will still be in the standby mode, but the standby
current will be larger. During Auto Algorithm operation,
Vcc active current (Icc2) is required even CE# = "H"
until the operation is completed. The device can be read
with standard access time (tCE) from either of these
standby modes.
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors , or the entire device. Table indicates the address
space that each sector occupies. A "sector address"
consists of the address bits required to uniquely select a
sector. The "Writing specific address and data commands
or sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 1 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". Section has details on erasing a
sector or the entire chip, or suspending/resuming the erase
operation.
When using only RESET#, a CMOS standby mode is
achieved with RESET# input held at Vss ± 0.3V, Under
this condition the current is consumed less than 1uA (typ.).
Once the RESET# pin is taken high, the device is back
to active without recovery delay.
After the system writes the Automatic Select command
sequence, the device enters the Automatic Select mode.
The system can then read Automatic Select codes from
the internal register (which is separate from the memory
array) on Q7-Q0. Standard read cycle timings apply in
this mode. Refer to the Automatic Select Mode and Automatic Select Command Sequence section for more information.
In the standby mode the outputs are in the high impedance state, independent of the OE# input.
MX29LV640BU is capable to provide the Automatic
Standby Mode to restrain power consumption during readout of data. This mode can be used effectively with an
application requested low power consumption such as
handy terminals.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for the write mode. The "AC
Characteristics" section contains timing specification table
and timing diagrams for write operations.
To active this mode, MX29LV640BU automatically switch
themselves to low power mode when MX29LV640BU addresses remain stable during access time of tACC+30ns.
P/N:PM1081
REV. 1.0, MAR. 08, 2005

MX29LV640BU
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a time
of tREADY. 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 completed within a time of tREADY. The system can
read data tRH after the RESET# pin returns to VIH.
It is not necessary to control CE#, WE#, and OE# on the
mode. Under the mode, the current consumed is typically 0.2uA (CMOS level).
AUTOMATIC SLEEP MODE
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET#
parameters and to Figure 3 for the timing diagram.
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device energy consumption. The device automatically enables this
mode when address remain stable for tACC+30ns. 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 table
represents the automatic sleep mode current specification.
SECTOR GROUP PROTECT OPERATION
The MX29LV640BU features hardware sector group protection. This feature will disable both program and erase
operations for these sector group protected. In this device, a sector group consists of four adjacent sectors
which are protected or unprotected at the same time. To
activate this mode, the programming equipment must
force VID on address pin A9 and control pin OE#, (suggest VID = 12V) A6 = VIL and CE# = VIL. (see Table 2)
Programming of the protection circuitry begins on the
falling edge of the WE# pulse and is terminated on the
rising edge. Please refer to sector group protect algorithm and waveform.
OUTPUT DISABLE
With the OE# input at a logic high level (VIH), output
from the devices are disabled. This will cause the output
pins to be in a high impedance state.
MX29LV640BU also provides another method. Which requires VID on the RESET# only. This method can be implemented either in-system or via programming equipment.
This method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle
timing.
RESET# OPERATION
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting
the device to reading array data. When the RESET# pin
is driven low for at least a period of tRP, the device
immediately terminates any operation in progress,
tristates all output pins, and ignores all read/write
commands 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
To verify programming of the protection circuitry, the programming equipment must force VID on address pin A9
( with CE# and OE# at VIL and WE# at VIH). When
A1=1, it will produce a logical "1" code at device output
Q0 for a protected sector. Otherwise the device will produce 00H for the unprotected sector. In this mode, the
addresses, except for A1, are don't care. Address locations with A1 = VIL are reserved to read manufacturer
and device codes. (Read Silicon ID)
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET# pulse.
When RESET# is held at VSS±0.3V, the device draws
CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET# is held at VIL
but not within VSS±0.3V, the standby current will be
greater.
It is also possible to determine if the group is protected
in the system by writing a Read Silicon ID command.
Performing a read operation with A1=VIH, it will produce
a logical "1" at Q0 for the protected sector.
The RESET# pin may be tied to system reset circuitry.
A system reset would that also reset the Flash memory,
enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from
the Flash memory.
CHIP UNPROTECT OPERATION
The MX29LV640BU also features the chip unprotected
mode, so that all sectors are unprotected after chip
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase
operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a "0" (busy) until the
P/N:PM1081
REV. 1.0, MAR. 08, 2005
14
MX29LV640BU
unprotected is completed to incorporate any changes in
the code. It is recommended to protect all sectors before
activating chip unprotect mode.
SET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are protected again.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment must
force VID on control pin OE# and address pin A9. The
CE# pins must be set at VIL. Pins A6 must be set to
VIH. (see Table 2) Refer to chip unprotected algorithm
and waveform for the chip unprotected algorithm. The
unprotected mechanism begins on the falling edge of the
WE# pulse and is terminated on the rising edge.
SILICON ID READ OPERATION
Flash memories are intended for use in applications where
the local CPU alters memory contents. As such, manufacturer and device codes must be accessible while the
device resides in the target system. PROM programmers typically access signature codes by raising A9 to
a high voltage. However, multiplexing high voltage onto
address lines is not generally desired system design practice.
MX29LV640BU also provides another method. Which requires VID on the RESET# only. This method can be implemented either in-system or via programming equipment.
This method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle
timing.
MX29LV640BU provides hardware method to access the
silicon ID read operation. Which method requires VID on
A9 pin, VIL on CE#, OE#, A6, and A1 pins. Which apply
VIL on A0 pin, the device will output MXIC's manufacture code of C2H. Which apply VIH on A0 pin, the device
will output MX29LV640BU device code of 22D7H.
It is also possible to determine if the chip is unprotected
in the system by writing the Read Silicon ID command.
Performing a read operation with A1=VIH, it will produce
00H at data outputs (Q0-Q15) for an unprotected sector.
It is noted that all sectors are unprotected after the chip
unprotected algorithm is completed.
VERIFY SECTOR GROUP PROTECT STATUS
OPERATION
MX29LV640BU provides hardware method for sector group
protect status verify. Which method requires VID on A9
pin, VIH on WE# and A1 pins, VIL on CE#, OE#, A6, and
A0 pins, and sector address on A16 to A21 pins. Which
the identified sector is protected, the device will output
01H. Which the identified sector is not protect, the device
will output 00H.
WRITE PROTECT (WP#)
This Write Protect function provides a hardware protection method on the first sector without using VID.
If the system asserts VIL on the WP# pin, the device
disable program and erase function in the first sector independently of whether those sectors were protected or
unprotect using the method described in "Sector Group
Protection and Unprotect".
DATA PROTECTION
The MX29LV640BU is designed to offer protection against
accidental erasure or programming caused by spurious
system level signals that may exist during power transition. During power up the device automatically resets
the state machine in the Read mode. In addition, with its
control register architecture, alteration of the memory
contents only occurs after successful completion of specific command sequences. The device also incorporates
several features to prevent inadvertent write cycles resulting from VCC power-up and power-down transition or
system noise.
If the system asserts VIH on the WP# pin, the device
reverts to whether the first sector was previously set to
be protected or unprotected using the method described
in "Sector Group Protection and Unprotect".
TEMPORARY SECTOR GROUP UNPROTECT
OPERATION
This feature allows temporary unprotect of previously protected sector to change data in-system. The Temporary
Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the RESET# pin to VID(11.5V-12.5V). During this mode, formerly protected sectors can be programmed or erased
as unprotected sector. Once VID is remove from the RE-

15
MX29LV640BU
the system issues the Exit Secured Silicon Sector command sequence, or until power is removed from the device. On power-up, or following a hardware reset, the
device reverts to sending command to sector SA0.
SECURED SILICON SECTOR
The MX29LV640BU features a OTP region where the system may access through a command sequence to create a permanent part identification as so called Electronic Serial Number (ESN) in the device. Once this region is programmed, any further modification on the region is impossible. The secured silicon sector is a 128
words in length, and uses a Secured Silicon Sector Indicator Bit (Q7) to indicate whether or not the Secured
Silicon Sector is locked when shipped from the factory.
This bit is permanently set at the factory and cannot be
changed, which prevent duplication of a factory locked
part. This ensures the security of the ESN once the product is shipped to the field.
FACTORY LOCKED:Secured Silicon Sector
Programmed and Protected At the Factory
In device with an ESN, the Secured Silicon Sector is
protected when the device is shipped from the factory.
The Secured Silicon Sector cannot be modified in any
way. A factory locked device has an 8-word random ESN
at address 000000h-000007h.
The MX29LV640BU offers the device with Secured Silicon Sector either factory locked or customer lockable.
The factory-locked version is always protected when
shipped from the factory , and has the Secured Silicon
Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a "1". The customer-lockable version is shipped with the Secured Silicon Sector unprotected, allowing customs to utilize that
sector in any form they prefer. The customer-lockable
version has the secured sector Indicator Bit permanently
set to a "0". Therefore, the Secured Silicon Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a "0". Therefore, the Second Silicon Sector Indicator Bit prevents customer, lockable device from being used to replace devices that are
factory locked.
CUSTOMER LOCKABLE:Secured Silicon
Sector NOT Programmed or Protected At the
Factory
As an alternative to the factory-locked version, the device
may be ordered such that the customer may program
and protect the 128-word Secured Silicon Sector.
Programming and protected the Secured Silicon Sector
must be used with caution since, once protected, there
is no procedure available for unprotecting the Secured
Silicon Sector area and none of the bits in the Secured
Silicon Sector memory space can be modified in any
way.
The Secured Silicon Sector area can be protected using
one of the following procedures:

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 write
when VCC is greater than VLKO.
WRITE PULSE "GLITCH" PROTECTION
Noise pulses of less than 5ns(typical) on CE# or WE# will
not initiate a write cycle.
LOGICAL INHIBIT
Writing is inhibited by holding any one of OE# = VIL, CE#
= VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle CE# and
WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a logical one.
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
The MX29LV640BU powers up in the Read only mode.
In addition, the memory contents may only be altered
after successful completion of the predefined command
sequences.
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

quence 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.
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 Automatic Program or Automatic
Erase algorithm.
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.
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 Q5 goes high, or
while in the Automatic Select mode. See the "Reset
Command" section, next.
The reset command may be written between the
sequence cycles in an SILICON ID READ command
sequence. Once in the SILICON ID READ mode, the
reset command must be written to return to reading array
data (also applies to SILICON ID READ during Erase
Suspend).
If Q5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the device to reading
array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).

Writing the reset command to the device resets the

MX29LV640BU
This method is an alternative to that shown in Table 1,
which is intended for PROM programmers and requires
VID on address bit A9.
SETUP AUTOMATIC CHIP/SECTOR ERASE
Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two
"unlock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the
"set-up" command 80H. Two more "unlock" write cycles
are then followed by the chip erase command 10H, or the
sector erase command 30H.
The SILICON ID READ command sequence is initiated
by writing two unlock cycles, followed by the SILICON
ID READ command. The device then enters the SILICON
ID READ mode, and the system may read at any address
any number of times, without initiating another command
sequence. A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the
manufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h
returns the device code. A read cycle containing a sector
address (SA) and the address 02h returns 01h if that
sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to
Table for valid sector addresses.
The MX29LV640BU contains a Silicon-ID-Read operation
to supplement traditional PROM programming methodology. The operation is initiated by writing the read silicon
ID command sequence into the command register. Following the command write, a read cycle with
A1=VIL,A0=VIL retrieves the manufacturer code of C2H.
A read cycle with A1=VIL, A0=VIH returns the device
code of 22D7H for MX29LV640BU.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
Automatic Select mode and return to reading array data.
AUTOMATIC
COMMAND
WORD PROGRAM COMMAND SEQUENCE
CHIP/SECTOR
ERASE
The device does not require the system to preprogram
prior to erase. The Automatic Erase algorithm automatically pre-program 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 3 shows the address and data
requirements for the chip erase command sequence.
The command sequence requires four bus cycles, and 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 3 shows the address and
data requirements for the word program command
sequence.
Any commands written to the chip during the Automatic
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.
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 Q7, Q6, or RY/
BY#. See "Write Operation Status" for information on these
status bits.
The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using Q7, Q6, Q2, or RY/BY#. See "Write Operation Status" for information on these status bits. When
the Automatic Erase algorithm is complete, the device
returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer
latched.
Any commands written to the device during the
Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the programming
operation. The Word Program command sequence should
be reinitiated once the device has reset to reading array
data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 5 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation.
See the Erase/Program Operations tables in "AC Characteristics" for parameters, and to Figure 4 for timing
diagrams.
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 Q5 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".

SECTOR ERASE COMMANDS
therefore will only be responded during Automatic Sector
Erase operation. When the Erase Suspend command is
issued during the sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum 20us to suspend the sector erase
operation. However, When the Erase Suspend command
is written during the sector erase time-out, the device
immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends
the erase operation. After this command has been executed, the command register will initiate erase suspend
mode. The state machine will return to read mode automatically after suspend is ready. At this time, state machine only allows the command register to respond to the
Erase Resume, program data to, or read data from any
sector not selected for erasure.
The Automatic Sector Erase does not require the
device to be entirely pre-programmed prior to
executing the Automatic Set-up Sector Erase
command and Automatic Sector Erase command.
Upon executing the Automatic Sector Erase
command, the device will automatically program and
verify the sector(s) memory for an all-zero data
pattern. The system is not required to provide any
control or timing during these operations.
When the sector(s) is automatically verified to
contain an all-zero pattern, a self-timed sector erase
and verify begin. The erase and verify operations are
complete when the data on Q7 is "1" and the data on
Q6 stops toggling for two consecutive read cycles, at
which time the device returns to the Read mode. The
system is not required to provide any control or timing
during these operations.
The system can determine the status of the program
operation using the Q7 or Q6 status bits, just as in the
standard program operation. After an erase-suspend program operation is complete, the system can once again
read array data within non-suspended blocks.
When using the Automatic Sector Erase algorithm,
note that the erase automatically terminates when
adequate erase margin has been achieved for the
memory array (no erase verification command is
required). Sector erase is a six-bus cycle operation.
There are two "unlock" write cycles. These are
followed by writing the set-up command 80H. Two
more "unlock" write cycles are then followed by the
sector erase command 30H. The sector address is
latched on the falling edge of WE# or CE#, whichever
happens later , while the command (data) is latched
on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens
first. Sector addresses selected are loaded into
internal register on the sixth falling edge of WE# or
CE#, whichever happens later. Each successive
sector load cycle started by the falling edge of WE#
or CE#, whichever happens later must begin within
50us from the rising edge of the preceding WE# or
CE#, whichever happens first. Otherwise, the loading
period ends and internal auto sector erase cycle
starts. (Monitor Q3 to determine if the sector erase
timer window is still open, see section Q3, Sector
Erase Timer.) Any command other than Sector Erase
(30H) or Erase Suspend (B0H) during the time-out
period resets the device to read mode.
ERASE RESUME
This command will cause the command register to clear
the suspend state and return back to Sector Erase mode
but only if an Erase Suspend command was previously
issued. Erase Resume will not have any effect in all
other conditions. Another Erase Suspend command can
be written after the chip has resumed erasing.
QUERY COMMAND AND COMMON FLASH

MX29LV640BU is capable of operating in the CFI mode.
This mode all the host system to determine the manufacturer of the device such as operating parameters and
configuration. Two commands are required in CFI mode.
Query command of CFI mode is placed first, then the
Reset command exits CFI mode. These are described in
Table 3.
The single cycle Query command is valid only when the
device is in the Read mode, including Erase Suspend,
Standby mode, and Read ID mode; however, it is ignored
otherwise.
ERASE SUSPEND
The Reset command exits from the CFI mode to the Read
mode, or Erase Suspend mode, or read ID mode. The
command is valid only when the device is in the CFI
mode.
This command only has meaning while the state machine is executing Automatic Sector Erase operation, and

of a write operation: Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6, Q7, and RY/BY#.
Table 5 and the following subsections describe the functions of these bits. Q7, RY/BY#, and Q6 each offer a
method for determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or in progress. These three bits are

after the rising edge of the final WE# or CE#, whichever
happens first pulse in the command sequence (prior to
the program or erase operation), and during the sector
time-out.
Q7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, Q7, indicates to the host system
whether an Automatic 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 an Automatic Program or Erase algorithm operation, successive read cycles to any address cause Q6
to toggle. The system may use either OE# or CE# to
control the read cycles. When the operation is complete,
Q6 stops toggling.
During the Automatic Program algorithm, the device outputs on Q7 the complement of the datum programmed
to Q7. This Q7 status also applies to programming during Erase Suspend. When the Automatic Program algorithm is complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to Q7. The system must provide the program
address to read valid status information on Q7. If a program address falls within a protected sector, Data# Polling on Q7 is active for approximately 1 us, then the device returns to reading array data.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, Q6 toggles for
100us and returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the Automatic Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the
selected sectors that are protected.
The system can use Q6 and Q2 together to determine
whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase suspended.
When the device is actively erasing (that is, the Automatic Erase algorithm is in progress), Q6 toggling. When
the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Q6 stops
toggling. However, the system must also use Q2 to determine which sectors are erasing or erase-suspended.
Alternatively, the system can use Q7.
During the Automatic Erase algorithm, Data# Polling produces a "0" on Q7. When the Automatic Erase algorithm
is complete, or if the device enters the Erase Suspend
mode, Data# Polling produces a "1" on Q7. This is analogous to the complement/true datum output described for
the Automatic 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 Q7.
If a program address falls within a protected sector, Q6
toggles for approximately 2us after the program command sequence is written, then returns to reading array
data.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data# Polling on
Q7 is active for approximately 100 us, then the device
returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors
are protected, the Automatic Erase algorithm erases the
unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors
that are protected.
Q6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program mode,
and stops toggling once the Automatic Program algorithm is complete.
Table 5 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on Q6.
When the system detects Q7 has changed from the
complement to true data, it can read valid data at Q7-Q0
on the following read cycles. This is because Q7 may
change asynchronously with Q0-Q6 while Output Enable
(OE#) is asserted low.
Q2:Toggle Bit II
The "Toggle Bit II" on Q2, when used with Q6, indicates
whether a particular sector is actively erasing (that is,
the Automatic Erase algorithm is in process), or whether
that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit II is valid
after the rising edge of the final WE# or CE#, whichever
happens first pulse in the command sequence.
Q6:Toggle BIT I
Toggle Bit I on Q6 indicates whether an Automatic Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete, or
whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend mode.
Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid
Q2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within
those sectors that have been selected for erasure. (The
system may use either OE# or CE# to control the read

cycles.) But Q2 cannot distinguish whether the sector is
actively erasing or is erase-suspended. Q6, by comparison, indicates whether the device is actively erasing, or
is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for erasure. Thus, both status bits are
required for sectors and mode information. Refer to Table
5 to compare outputs for Q2 and Q6.
the only operating functions of the device under this condition.
If this time-out condition occurs during sector erase operation, it specifies that a particular sector is bad and it
may not be reused. However, other sectors are still functional and may be used for the program or erase operation. The device must be reset to use other sectors.
Write the Reset command sequence to the device, and
then execute program or erase command sequence. This
allows the system to continue to use the other active
sectors in the device.
Reading Toggle Bits Q6/ Q2
Whenever the system initially begins reading toggle bit
status, it must read Q7-Q0 at least twice in a row to
determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the
system would note and store the value of the toggle bit
after the first read. After the second read, the system
would compare the new value of the toggle bit with the
first. If the toggle bit is not toggling, the device has
completed the program or erase operation. The system
can read array data on Q7-Q0 on the following read cycle.
If this time-out condition occurs during the chip erase
operation, it specifies that the entire chip is bad or combination of sectors are bad.
If this time-out condition occurs during the word programming operation, it specifies that the entire sector containing that word is bad and this sector may not be reused, (other sectors are still functional and can be reused).
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the system also should note whether the value of Q5 is high
(see the section on Q5). If it is, the system should then
determine again whether the toggle bit is toggling, since
the toggle bit may have stopped toggling just as Q5 went
high. If the toggle bit is no longer toggling, the device
has successfully completed the program or erase operation. If it is still toggling, the device did not complete the
operation successfully, and the system must write the
reset command to return to reading array data.
The time-out condition may also appear if a user tries to
program a non blank location without erasing. In this
case the device locks out and never completes the Automatic Algorithm operation. Hence, the system never
reads a valid data on Q7 bit and Q6 never stops toggling.
Once the Device has exceeded timing limits, the Q5 bit
will indicate a "1". Please note that this is not a device
failure condition since the device was incorrectly used.
The Q5 failure condition may appear if the system tries
to program a to a "1" 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, Q5 produces a "1".
The remaining scenario is that system initially determines
that the toggle bit is toggling and Q5 has not gone high.
The system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and
Q5 through successive read cycles, determining the status as described in the previous paragraph. Alternatively,
it may choose to perform other system tasks. In this
case, the system must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it returns to determine the status of the
operation.
Q3:Sector Erase Timer
After the completion of the initial sector erase command
sequence, the sector erase time-out will begin. Q3 will
remain low until the time-out is complete. Data# Polling
and Toggle Bit are valid after the initial sector erase command sequence.
Q5:Program/Erase Timing
Q5 will indicate if the program or erase time has exceeded
the specified limits (internal pulse count). Under these
conditions Q5 will produce a "1". This time-out condition
indicates that the program or erase cycle was not successfully completed. Data# Polling and Toggle Bit are
If Data# Polling or the Toggle Bit indicates the device has
been written with a valid erase command, Q3 may be

cycle has begun; attempts to write subsequent commands
to the device will be ignored until the erase operation is
completed as indicated by Data Polling or Toggle Bit. If
Q3 is low ("0"), the device will accept additional sector
erase commands. To insure the command has been accepted, the system software should check the status of
Q3 prior to and following each subsequent sector erase
command. If Q3 were high on the second status check,
the command may not have been accepted.

system can be less than 50us, the system need not to
monitor Q3.
RY/BY#:READY/BUSY# OUTPUT
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.

Notes:
1. Minimum DC voltage on input or I/O pins is -0.5 V.
During voltage transitions, input or I/O pins may overshoot VSS to -2.0 V for periods of up to 20 ns. Maximum DC voltage on input or I/O pins is VCC +0.5 V.
During voltage transitions, input or I/O pins may overshoot to VCC +2.0 V for periods up to 20 ns.
2. Minimum DC input voltage on pins A9, OE#, and RESET# is -0.5 V. During voltage transitions, A9, OE#,
and RESET# may overshoot VSS to -2.0 V for periods
of up to 20 ns. Maximum DC input voltage on pin A9 is
+12.5 V which may overshoot to 14.0 V for periods up
to 20 ns.
3. No more than one output may be shorted to ground at
a time. Duration of the short circuit should not be
greater than one second.
Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum
Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this data sheet is
not implied. Exposure of the device to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
