GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F040B is a 4 Mbit, 5.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as 524,288 Kbytes of 8 bits each. The
512 Kbytes of data are divided into eight sectors of 64
Kbytes each for flexible erase capability. The 8 bits of
data appear on DQ0–DQ7. The Am29F040B is offered
in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP, and PDIP packages. This device
is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply. A 12.0 volt VPP is not
required for write or erase operations. The device can
also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
This device is manufactured using AMD’s 0.32 µm process technology, and offers all the features and
benefits of the Am29F040, which was manufactured
using 0.5 µm process technology. In addtion, the
Am29F040B has a second toggle bit, DQ2, and also offers the ability to program in the Erase Suspend mode.
The standard Am29F040B offers access times of 55,
70, 90, and 120 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 initiates the Embedded
Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that auto-
2
matically times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase
algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically
preprograms the array (if it is not already programmed)
before executing the erase operation. During erase, the
device automatically times the erase pulse widths and
verifies proper cell margin.
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by reading the DQ7 (Data#
Polling) 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 sector erase architecture allows memory sectors
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the
data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
VCC detector that automatically inhibits write operations during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of the sectors of memory. This can be achieved via programming equipment.
The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put
erase on hold for any period of time to read data from,
or program data to, any sector that is not selected for
erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.
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
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness. The device electrically erases all bits within a
sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling.
The data is programmed using hot electron injection.

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS
This section describes the requirements and use of the
device bus operations, which are initiated through the
internal command register. The command register itself does not occupy any addressable memor y
location. The register is composed of latches that store
the commands, along with the address and data infor-
Table 1.
mation needed to execute the command. The contents
of the register serve as inputs to the internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the function of
the device. The appropriate device bus operations
table lists the inputs and control levels required, and the
resulting output. The following subsections describe
each of these operations in further detail.

Note: See the “Sector Protection/Unprotection” section. for more information.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outputs, the system must
drive the CE# and OE# pins to VIL. CE# is the power
control and selects the device. OE# is the output control and gates array data to the output pins. WE# should
remain at VIH.
The internal state machine is set for reading array data
upon device power-up, 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.
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. The Sector Address Tables
November 1, 2006 21445E5
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
Am29F040B

D A T A
outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE# input.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the
CE# pin is held at VCC ± 0.5 V. (Note that this is a more
restricted voltage range than VIH.) The device enters
the TTL standby mode when CE# is held at VIH. The
device requires the standard access time (tCE) before it
is ready to read data.
Table 2.
S H E E T
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.
ICC3 in the DC Characteristics tables represents the
standby current specification.
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.
address must appear on the appropriate highest order
address bits. Refer to the corresponding Sector Address Tables. The Command Definitions table shows
the remaining address bits that are don’t care. When all
necessary bits have been set as required, the programming equipment may then read the corresponding
identifier code on 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

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.
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 19957. Contact an
AMD representative to obtain a copy of the appropriate
document.
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.

gramming, 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.
Hardware Data Protection
Power-Up Write Inhibit
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 pro-
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

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
erase-suspended sectors, the device outputs status
data. After completing a programming operation in the
Erase Suspend mode, the system may once again
read array data with the same exception. See “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.
A read cycle at address XX00h or retrieves the manufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns
the device code. A read cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the address 02h in returns 01h if that
sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to
the Sector Address tables for valid sector addresses.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.
Byte Program Command Sequence
Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program command sequence is initiated by writing two
unlock write 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 or DQ6. See “Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.

Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across

the operation and set DQ5 to “1”, or cause the Data#

Chip erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The chip erase

Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector

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
Am29F040B
11
D A T A
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.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading array data and addresses are
no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or DQ2.
Refer to “Write Operation Status” for information on
these status bits.

the “AC Characteristics” section for parameters, and to

DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard program operation. See “Wr ite Operation Status” for more
information.
The system may also write the autoselect command
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend
mode. The device allows reading autoselect codes
even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the
codes are not stored in the memory array. When the
device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to
the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another
valid operation. See “Autoselect Command Sequence”
for more information.
The system must write the Erase Resume command
(address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase suspend
mode and continue the sector erase operation. Further
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another
Erase Suspend command can be written after the device has resumed erasing.
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 terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase
operation.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the
system can read array data from or program data to
any sector not selected for erasure. (The device “erase
suspends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Normal
read and write timings and command definitions apply.
Reading at any address within erase-suspended sectors produces status data on DQ7–DQ0. The system
can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine
if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, and
DQ7. Table 5 and the following subsections describe
the functions of these bits. DQ7 and DQ6 each offer a
method for determining whether a program or erase
operation is complete or in progress. These three bits
are discussed first.

illustrates this.
Table 5 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.
Figure 3 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.
START
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.
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.

When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the

Yes
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.

Notes:

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.

Data# Polling Algorithm
21445E5 November 1, 2006
D A T A
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.
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”).
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 4 for the toggle bit
algorithm, and to the Toggle Bit Timings figure in the
“AC Characteristics” section for the timing diagram.
The DQ2 vs. DQ6 figure shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also the
subsection on “DQ2: Toggle Bit II”.
DQ2: Toggle Bit II
The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indicates whether a particular sector is actively erasing
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
or whether that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit
II is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in
the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses
within those sectors that have been selected for era-

sure. (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 5 to compare outputs
for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 4 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart
form, and the section “DQ2: Toggle Bit II” explains the
algorithm. See also the “DQ6: Toggle Bit I” subsection.
Refer to the Toggle Bit Timings figure for the toggle bit
timing diagram. The DQ2 vs. DQ6 figure shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form.
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2
Refer to Figure 4 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 4).
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.
Am29F040B
15
D A T A
S H E E T
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.

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 is always less than 50 µs. See
also the “Sector Erase Command Sequence” section.

No
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 accepts 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 5 shows the outputs for DQ3.

Chip Programming Time (Note 3)
Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 5.0 V VCC, 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally,
programming typicals assume checkerboard pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 4.5 V (4.75 V for -55), 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 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 4
for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a guaranteed minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
