GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Am29DL16xD Features
The Am29DL16xD family is a 16 megabit, 3.0 volt-only
flash memory device, organized as 1,048,576 words of
16 bits or 2,097,152 bytes of 8 bits each. Word mode
data appears on DQ15–DQ0; byte mode data appears on DQ7–DQ0. The device is designed to be
programmed in-system with the standard 3.0 volt VCC
supply, and can also be programmed in standard
EPROM programmers.
The device is available with access times of 70 ns or
85 ns. The device is offered in a 69-ball FBGA package. Standard control pins—chip enable (CE#f), write
enable (WE#), and output enable (OE#)—control norm a l re a d a nd write op e rat ion s, a nd avo id b us
contention issues.
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.
Simultaneous Read/Write Operations with
Zero Latency
The Simultaneous Read/Write architecture provides
simultaneous operation by dividing the memory
space into two banks. The device can improve overall
system performance by allowing a host system to program or erase in one bank, then immediately and
simultaneously read from the other bank, with zero latency. This releases the system from waiting for the
completion of program or erase operations.
The Am29DL16xD devices uses multiple bank architectures to provide flexibility for different applications.
Four devices are available with the following bank
sizes:

DMS (Data Management Software) allows systems
to easily take advantage of the advanced architecture
of the simultaneous read/write product line by allowing
removal of EEPROM devices. DMS will also allow the
system software to be simplified, as it will perform all
functions necessary to modify data in file structures,
as opposed to single-byte modifications. To write or
update a particular piece of data (a phone number or
configuration data, for example), the user only needs
to state which piece of data is to be updated, and
where the updated data is located in the system. This
is a n a d v a n t a g e c o m p a re d to sy st e m s w h e re
user-written software must keep track of the old data
location, status, logical to physical translation of the
data onto the Flash memory device (or memory devices), and more. Using DMS, user-written software
does not need to interface with the Flash memory directly. Instead, the user's software accesses the Flash
memory by calling one of only six functions. AMD provides this software to simplify system design and
software integration efforts.
The device offers complete compatibility with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash command set
standard. Commands are written to the command
register using standard microprocessor write timings.
Reading data out of the device is similar to reading
from other Flash or EPROM devices.
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by using the device status bits: RY/BY# pin, DQ7 (Data# Polling) and
DQ6/DQ2 (toggle bits). After a program or erase cycle
has been completed, the device automatically returns
to reading array data.
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 Secured Silicon (SecSi) Sector is an extra 64
Kbit sector capable of being permanently locked by
AMD or customers. The SecSi Sector Indicator Bit
(DQ7) is permanently set to a 1 if the part is factory
locked, and set to a 0 if customer lockable. This
way, customer lockable parts can never be used to replace a factory locked part.
Factory locked parts provide several options. The
SecSi Sector may store a secure, random 16 byte
ESN (Electronic Serial Number). Customer Lockable
parts may utilize the SecSi Sector as bonus space,
2
reading and writing like any other flash sector, or may
permanently lock their own code there.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
V CC 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 memo r y. T h i s c a n b e a c h i e v e d i n - s y s t e m o r v i a
programming equipment.
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.
Th e system can also place the de vice into the
standby mode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in both modes.

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 locat io n. Th e re g ist e r is a la t ch u se d t o st or e t h e
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 ma-
10
chine. 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 CIOf pin controls whether the device data I/O pins
operate in the byte or word configuration. If the CIOf
pin is set at logic ‘1’, the device is in word configuration, DQ0–DQ15 are active and controlled by CE# and
OE#.
If the CIOf pin is set at logic ‘0’, the device is in byte
configuration, and only data I/O pins DQ0–DQ7 are
active and controlled by CE# and OE#. The data I/O
pins DQ8–DQ14 are tri-stated, and the DQ15 pin is
used as an input for the LSB (A-1) address function.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outputs, the system must
drive the CE#f and OE# pins to VIL. CE#f 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 V I H . The CIOf pin determines
whether the device outputs array data in words or
bytes.
The internal state machine is set for reading array data
upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This
ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory
content occurs during the power transition. No command is necessary in this mode to obtain array data.
Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert valid
addresses on the device address inputs produce valid
data on the device data outputs. Each bank remains
enabled for read access until the command register
contents are altered.
See “Requirements for Reading Array Data” for more
information. Refer to the AC Flash Read-Only Operations table for timing specifications and to Figure 14 for
the timing diagram. I CC1 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#f to VIL, and OE# to VIH.
For program operations, the CIOf pin determines
whether the device accepts program data in bytes or
words. Refer to “Word/Byte Configuration” for more
information.
The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facilitate faster programming. Once a bank enters the
Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles are required to program a word or byte, instead of four. The
“Word/Byte Configuration” section has details on programming data to the device using both standard and
Unlock Bypass command sequences.
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. Tables 6–7 indicate the
address space that each sector occupies. The device
address space is divided into two banks: Bank 1 contains the boot/parameter sectors, and Bank 2 contains
the larger, code sectors of uniform size. A “bank address” is the address bits required to uniquely select a
bank. Similarly, a “sector address” is the address bits
required to uniquely select a sector.
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.
Accelerated Program Operation
The device offers accelerated program operations
through the ACC function. This is one of two functions
provided by the WP#/ACC pin. This function is primarily intended to allow faster manufacturing throughput
at the factory.
If the system asserts VHH on this pin, the device automatically enters the aforementioned Unlock Bypass
mode, temporarily unprotects any protected sectors,
and uses the higher voltage on the pin to reduce the
time required for program operations. The system
would use a two-cycle program command sequence
as required by the Unlock Bypass mode. Removing
VHH from the WP#/ACC pin returns the device to normal operation. Note that the WP#/ACC pin must not
be at V HH for operations other than accelerated programming, or device damage may result. In addition,
the WP#/ACC pin must not be left floating or unconnected; inconsistent behavior of the device may result.
Autoselect Functions
If 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.
Simultaneous Read/Write Operations with
Zero Latency
This device is capable of reading data from one bank
of memory while programming or erasing in the other
bank of memory. An erase operation may also be suspended to read from or program to another location
within the sam e bank (except the sector b eing
erased). Figure 21 shows how read and write cycles
may be initiated for simultaneous operation with zero
latency. ICC6 and ICC7 in the DC Characteristics table
represent the current specifications for read-while-program and read-while-erase, respectively.
Am41DL16x4D

P R E L I M I N A R Y
Standby Mode
When the system is not reading or writing to the device, it can place the device in the standby mode. In
this mode, current consumption is greatly reduced,
and the outputs are placed in the high impedance
state, independent of the OE# input.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the
CE#f and RESET# pins are both held at VCC ± 0.3 V.
(Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
V IH .) If CE#f and RESET# are held at V IH , but not
within V CC ± 0.3 V, the device will be in the standby
mode, but the standby current will be greater. The device requires standard access time (t CE ) for read
access when the device is in either of these standby
modes, before it is ready to read data.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.
I CC3 in the DC Characteristics table represents the
standby current specification.
Automatic Sleep Mode
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device energy consumption. The device automatically enables
this mode when addresses remain stable for t ACC +
30 ns. The automatic sleep mode is independent of
the CE#f, WE#, and OE# control signals. Standard add r e ss a cce s s t im in g s p ro v id e n e w d a t a w h e n
addresses are changed. While in sleep mode, output
data is latched and always available to the system.
I CC4 in the DC Characteristics table represents the
automatic sleep mode current specification.
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When the
Table 5.
Device
Part Number
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.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. When RESET# is held at V SS ± 0.3 V, the device draws CMOS standby current (ICC4 ). If RESET# is
held at V IL but not within VSS ± 0.3 V, the standby current will be greater.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash
memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a “0” (busy) until the
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The
system can thus mon itor RY/BY# to de term ine
whether the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is
asserted when a program or erase operation is not executing (RY/BY# pin is “1”), the reset operation is
completed within a time of tREADY (not during Embedded Algorithms). The system can read data tRH after
the RESET# pin returns to VIH.
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# parameters and to Figure 15 for the timing diagram.
Output Disable Mode
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high
impedance state.

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 and unprotection can be implemented as follows.
Sector protection/unprotection requires VID on the RESET# pin only, and can be implem ented eith er
in-system or via programming equipment. Figure 2
shows the algorithms and Figure 26 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. Note that the sector unprotect
algorithm unprotects all sectors in parallel. All previo u s l y p ro t e c t e d s e c t o rs m u s t b e in d i v id u a ll y
re-protected. To change data in protected sectors efficiently, the temporary sector un protect function is
available. See “Temporary Sector/Sector Block
Unprotect”.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or unprotected. See the Autoselect Mode
section for details.
Write Protect (WP#)
The Write Protect function provides a hardware
method of protecting certain boot sectors without
using V ID. This function is one of two provided by the
WP#/ACC pin.
Am41DL16x4D
19
P R E L I M I N A R Y
If the system asserts VIL on the WP#/ACC pin, the device disables program and erase functions in the two
“outermost” 8 Kbyte boot sectors independently of
whether those sectors were protected or unprotected
using the method described in “The autoselect mode
provides manufacturer and device identification, and
sector protection verification, through identifier codes
output on DQ7–DQ0. The autoselect codes can be accessed in-system through the command register.
Refer to the Autoselect Command Sequence section
for more information.Sector/Sector Block Protection
and Unprotection”. The two outermost 8 Kbyte boot
sectors are the two sectors containing the lowest addresses in a top-boot-configured device, or the two
se ct ors con tain in g th e hig he st a dd resse s in a
top-boot-configured device.
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 V ID (8.5 V – 12.5 V). 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 25 shows the timing diagrams,
for this feature.
START
If the system asserts VIH on the WP#/ACC pin, the device reverts to whether the two outermost 8 Kbyte boot
sectors were last set to be protected or unprotected.
That is, sector protection or unprotection for these two
sectors depends on whether they were last protected
or unprotected using the method described in “The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device
identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. The autoselect codes can be accessed in-system through the
command register. Refer to the Autoselect Command
Sequence section for more information.Sector/Sector
Block Protection and Unprotection”.
Note that the WP#/ACC pin must not be left floating or
unconnected; inconsistent behavior of the device may
result.

SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash
Memory Region
Customer Lockable: SecSi Sector NOT
Programmed or Protected At the Factory
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector feature provides a
Flash memory region that enables permanent part
identification through an Electronic Serial Number
(ESN). The SecSi Sector is 64 Kbytes in length, and
uses a SecSi Sector Indicator Bit to indicate whether
or not the SecSi Sector is locked when shipped from
the factory. This bit is permanently set at the factory
and cannot be changed, which prevents cloning of a
factory locked part. This ensures the security of the
ESN once the product is shipped to the field. Current
version of this device has 64 Kbytes; future versions will have only 256 bytes. This should be
considered during system design.
If the security feature is not required, the SecSi Sector
can be treated as an additional Flash memory space,
expanding the size of the available Flash array by 64
Kbytes. Current version of this device has 64
Kbytes; future versions will have only 256 bytes.
This should be considered during system design.
The SecSi Sector can be read, programmed, and erased
as often as required. Note that the accelerated programming (ACC) and unlock bypass functions are not
available when programming the SecSi Sector.
AMD offers the device with the SecSi Sector either
f a cto ry lo cked o r cu sto m e r lo cka b le. Th e f a ctory-locked version is always protected when shipped
from the factory, and has the SecSi Sector Indicator
Bit permanently set to a “1.” The customer-lockable
version is shipped with the unprotected, allowing customers to utilize the that sector in any manner they
choose. The customer-lockable version has the SecSi
Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a “0.” Thus, the
SecSi Sector Indicator Bit prevents customer-lockable
devices from being used to replace devices that are
factory locked.
The system accesses the SecSi Sector through a
command sequence (see “Enter SecSi Sector/Exit
SecSi Sector Command Sequence”). After the system
has written the Enter SecSi Sector command sequence, it may read the SecSi Sector by using the
addresses normally occupied by the boot sectors. This
mode of operation continues until the system issues
the Exit SecSi Sector command sequence, or until
power is removed from the device. On power-up, or
following a hardware reset, the device reverts to sending commands to the boot sectors.
Factory Locked: SecSi Sector Programmed and
Protected At the Factory
In a factory locked device, the SecSi Sector is protected when the device is shipped from the factory.
The SecSi Sector cannot be modified in any way. The
device is available preprogrammed with a random, secure ESN only
In devices that have an ESN, the Top Boot device will
have the 16-byte ESN, with the starting address of the
ESN will be at the bottom of the lowest 8 Kbyte boot
sector at addresses F8000h–F8007h in word mode (or
1F0000h–1F000Fh in byte mode).
The SecSi Sector area can be protected using one of the
following procedures:
■ Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region
command sequence, and then follow the in-system
sector protect algorithm as shown in Figure 2, except that RESET# may be at either VIH or VID. This
allows in-system protection of the without raising
any device pin to a high voltage. Note that this
method is only applicable to the SecSi Sector.
■ Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region
command sequence, and then use the alternate
method of sector protection described in the “The
autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device
identification, and sector protection verification, through
identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. The autoselect
codes can be accessed in-system through the command register. Refer to the Autoselect Command Sequence section for more information.Sector/Sector Block
Protection and Unprotection”.
Once the SecSi Sector is locked and verified, the syste m m u st w rit e t h e E xit S e cSi S e c to r R e g io n
command sequence to return to reading and writing
the remainder of the array.
The SecSi Sector protection must be used with caution since, once protected, there is no procedure
available for unprotecting the SecSi Sector area and
none of the bits in the SecSi Sector memory space
can be modified in any way.
Hardware Data Protection
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles
for programming or erasing provides data protection
against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 16 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 V CC power-up
and power-down transitions, or from system noise.
Low VCC Write Inhibit
When V CC is less than VLKO, the device does not accept any write cycles. This protects data during V CC
power-up and power-down. The command register
22
Am41DL16x4D
P R E L I M I N A R Y
and all internal program/erase circuits are disabled,
and the device resets to reading array data. 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.
software algorithms to be used for entire families of
devices. Software support can then be device-independent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and
backward-compatible for the specified flash device
families. Flash vendors can standardize their existing
interfaces for long-term compatibility.
Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection
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 12–15. To terminate reading CFI data, the
system must write the reset command. The CFI Query
mode is not accessible when the device is executing
an Embedded Program or embedded erase algorithm.
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE#f
or WE# do not initiate a write cycle.
Logical Inhibit
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# =
VIL, CE#f = VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle,
CE#f and WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a
logical one.
Power-Up Write Inhibit
If WE# = CE#f = VIL and OE# = V IH 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.
COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE
(CFI)
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines device and host system software interrogation
handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified
Table 12.
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 12–15. The
system must write the reset command to return the device to the autoselect mode.
For further information, please refer to the CFI Specification and CFI Publication 100, available via the

COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 16 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#f, whichever happens later. All data is latched
on the rising edge of WE# or CE#f, whichever happens first. Refer to the AC Characteristics section for
timing diagrams.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. Each bank is ready to read array data
after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded
Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,
t he co rresp on din g ba n k e nt ers th e era se-su spend-read mode, after which the system can read
data from any non-erase-suspended sector within the
same bank. After completing a programming operation
in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once
again read array data with the same exception. See
the Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands section for more information.
The system must issue the reset command to return a
bank to the read (or erase-suspend-read) mode if DQ5
goes high during an active program or erase operation, or if the bank is in the autoselect mode. See the
next section, Reset Command, for more information.
See also Requirements for Reading Array Data in the
Device Bus Operations section for more information.
The Flash Read-Only Operations table provides the
read parameters, and Figure 14 shows the timing
diagram.

the program command sequence is written to a bank
that is in the Erase Suspend mode, writing the reset

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. If a
bank entered the autoselect mode while in the Erase
Suspend mode, writing the reset command returns
that bank to the erase-suspend-read mode.
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the banks to reading array data (or erase-suspend-read mode if that
bank was in Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and device codes,
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
Table 16 shows the address and data requirements.
The autoselect command sequence may be written to
an address within a bank that is either in the read or
erase-suspend-read mode. The autoselect command
may not be written while the device is actively programming or erasing in the other bank.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by first
writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third
write cycle that contains the bank address and the auto s e le c t co m m a n d . T h e b a n k t h e n e n t e r s t h e
autoselect mode. The system may read at any address within the same bank any number of times
witho ut initiating ano ther a utosele ct co mm and
sequence:
Reset Command
■ A read cycle at address (BA)XX00h (where BA is
the bank address) returns the manufacturer code.
Writing the reset command resets the banks to the
read or erase-suspend-read mode. Address bits are
don’t cares for this command.
■ A read cycle at address (BA)XX01h in word mode
(or (BA)XX02h in byte mode) returns the device
code.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase command sequence before
erasing begins. This resets the bank to which the system was writing to reading array data. Once erasure
begins, however, the device ignores reset commands
until the operation is complete.
■ A read cycle to an address containing a sector address (SA) within the same bank, and the address
02h on A7–A0 in word mode (or the address 04h on
A6–A-1 in byte mode) returns 01h if the sector is
protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. (Refer to Tables 6–7 for valid sector addresses).
The reset command may be written between the
sequence cycles in a program command sequence
before programming begins. This resets the bank to
The system must write the reset command to return to
reading array data (or erase-suspend-read mode if the
bank was previously in Erase Suspend).

Enter SecSi Sector/Exit SecSi Sector
Command Sequence
The system can access the SecSi Sector region by issuing the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector command
sequence. The device continues to access the SecSi
Sector region until the system issues the four-cycle
Exit SecSi Sector command sequence. The Exit SecSi
Sector command sequence returns the device to normal operation. The SecSi Sector is not accessible
when the device is executing an Embedded Program
or Embedded Erase algorithm. Table 16 shows the address and data requirements for both command
sequences. See also “SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector
Flash Memory Region” for further information. Note
that a hardware reset (RESET#=VIL) will reset the device to reading array data.
Byte/Word Program Command Sequence
The system may program the device by word or byte,
depending on the state of the CIOf 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 provides internally
generated program pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin. Table 16 shows the address
and data requirements for the byteword program command sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
that bank 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#. Refer to the Write Operation Status section for information on these status
bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the program
operation. The program command sequence should
be reinitiated once that bank has returned to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across
sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed
from “0” back to a “1.” Attempting to do so may
cause that bank to set DQ5 = 1, or cause the DQ7 and
DQ6 status bits 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
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program bytes or words to a bank 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.
That bank 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. Additional data is programmed in the same manner. This mode dispenses
with the initial two unlock cycles required in the standard program command sequence, resulting in faster
total programming time. Table 16 shows the requirements for the 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 bank
address and the data 90h. The second cycle need
only contain the data 00h. The bank then returns to
the reading array data.
The device offers accelerated program operations
through the WP#/ACC pin. When the system asserts
VHH on the WP#/ACC pin, the device automatically enters the Unlock Bypass mode. The system may then
write the two-cycle Unlock Bypass program command
sequence. The device uses the higher voltage on the
WP#/ACC pin to accelerate the operation. Note that
the WP#/ACC pin must not be at V HH any operation
other than accelerated programming, or device damage may result. In addition, the WP#/ACC pin must not
be left floating or unconnected; inconsistent behavior
of the device may result.

Program Operation
Chip Erase Command Sequence
Chip erase is a six bus cycle operation. The chip erase
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock
cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional
unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase
command, which in turn invokes the Embedded Erase
algorithm. The device does not require the system to
preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire
memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical
erase. The system is not required to provide any controls or timings during these operations. Table 16
shows the address and data requirements for the chip
erase command sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete,
that bank 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,
DQ2, or RY/BY#. Refer to the Write Operation Status
section for information on these status bits.
Any commands written during the chip erase operation
are ignored. However, note that a hardware reset im-
28
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two
unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock cycles are written, and are then
followed by the address of the sector to be erased,
and the sector erase command. Table 16 shows the
address and data requirements for the sector erase
command sequence.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase
time-out of 50 µs occurs. 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 erasure may begin. Any sector erase
addre ss and comm and followin g the e xceeded
time-out may or may not be accepted. 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. Any command other than
S e c to r E r a s e o r E r a s e S u s p e nd du r i ng th e
time-out period resets that bank to reading array
data. The system must rewrite the command sequence and any additional addresses and commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector erase timer has timed out (See the section on DQ3:
Sector Erase Timer.). The time-out begins from the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
bank returns to reading array data and addresses are
no longer latched. Note that while the Embedded
Erase operation is in progress, the system can read
data from the non-erasing bank. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by reading
DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY# in the erasing bank.

Refer to the Write Operation Status section for information on these status bits.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other commands are ignored. However, note that a hardware
reset immediately terminates the erase operation. If
that occurs, the sector erase command sequence
should be reinitiated once that bank has returned to

Refer to the Write Operation Status section for more
information.
In the erase-suspend-read mode, the system can also
issue the autoselect command sequence. Refer to the
Autoselect Mode and Autoselect Command Sequence
sections for details.
To resume the sector erase operation, the system
must write the Erase Resume command. The bank
address of the erase-suspended bank is required
when writing this command. Further writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another Erase Suspend
command can be written after the chip has resumed
erasing.
The Erase Suspend command, B0h, allows the system to interrupt a sector erase operation and then read
data from, or program data to, any sector not selected
for erasure. The bank address is required when writing
this command. 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.
START
Write Erase
Command Sequence
(Notes 1, 2)
When the Erase Suspend command is written during
the 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
bank enters the erase-suspend-read mode. The system can read data from or program data to any sector
not selected for erasure. (The device “erase suspends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Reading at
any address within erase-suspended sectors produces status information 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 program or erase operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5,
DQ6, and DQ7. Table 20 and the following subsections describe the function of these bits. DQ7 and DQ6
each offer a method for determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or in progress.
The device also provides a hardware-based output
signal, RY/BY#, to determine whether an Embedded
Program or Erase operation is in progress or has been
completed.
invalid. Valid data on DQ0–DQ7 will appear on successive read cycles.
Table 20 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.
Figure 5 shows the Data# Polling algorithm. Figure 22
in the AC Characteristics section shows the Data#
Polling timing diagram.
START
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host syst e m wh e t h er an E m b e d d e d P r o gr am o r E ra se
algorithm is in progress or completed, or whether a
bank is in Erase Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after
the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the 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 1 µs, then that bank returns to reading
array data.
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
DQ7 = Data?
No
No
Just prior to the completion of an Embedded Program
or Erase operation, DQ7 may change asynchronously
with DQ0–DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is asserted
low. That is, the device may change from providing
status information to valid data on DQ7. Depending on
when the system samples the DQ7 output, it may read
the status or valid data. Even if the device has completed the program or erase operation and DQ7 has
valid data, the data outputs on DQ0–DQ6 may be still
32
DQ5 = 1?
Yes
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling
produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase
algorithm is complete, or if the bank enters the Erase
Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7.
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 bank 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. However, if the
system reads DQ7 at an address within a protected
sector, the status may not be valid.
Yes
DQ7 = Data?
Yes
No
FAIL
PASS
Notes:
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector
erase operation, a valid address is any sector address
within the sector being erased. 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.

RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin
which 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 reading array data, the standby
mo de, or on e of the banks is in the erase-suspend-read mode.
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Program algorithm is complete.
Table 20 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 23 in
the “AC Characteristics” section shows the toggle bit
timing diagrams. Figure 24 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also the
subsection on DQ2: Toggle Bit II.
START
Table 20 shows the outputs for RY/BY#.
Read DQ7–DQ0
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#f to control the read cycles. When the operation is
complete, DQ6 stops toggling.
Read DQ7–DQ0
Toggle Bit
= Toggle?
Yes
No
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.
DQ5 = 1?
Yes

The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determ ine whethe r a sector is active ly erasing or is
erase-suspended. When the device is actively erasing
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
DQ6 toggles. When the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system
must also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are
erasing or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the system
can use DQ7 (see the subsection on DQ7: Data#
Polling).
If a program address falls within a protected sector,
DQ6 toggles for approximately 1 µs after the program
command sequence is written, then returns to reading
array data.

P R E L I M I N A R Y
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 erasure. (The system may use either OE# or CE#f 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 20 to compare outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6 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.
Figure 23 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure
24 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in
graphical form.
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.
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 completed 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 cy-
34
cles, determining the status as described in the
previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to
perform other system tasks. In this case, the system
must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it returns to determine the status of the operation (top of
Figure 6).
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,” indicating
that the program or erase cycle was not successfully
completed.
The device may output a “1” on DQ5 if the system tries
to program a “1” to a location that was 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 timing limit
has been exceeded, DQ5 produces a “1.”
Under both these conditions, the system must write
the reset command to return to reading array data (or
to the erase-suspend-read mode if a bank was previously in the erase-suspend-program mode).
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not
erasure 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 period is complete, DQ3
switches from a “0” to a “1.” If the time between additional sector erase commands from the system can be
assumed to be less than 50 µs, the system need not
monitor DQ3. See also the Sector Erase Command
Sequence section.
After the sector erase command is written, the system
should read the status of DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6
(Toggle Bit I) to ensure that the device has accepted
the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is
“1,” the Embedded Erase algorithm has begun; all further commands (except 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 20 shows the status of DQ3 relative to the other
status bits.

2. DQ7 and DQ2 require a valid address when reading status information. Refer to the appropriate subsection for further
details.
3. When reading write operation status bits, the system must always provide the bank address where the Embedded Algorithm
is in progress. The device outputs array data if the system addresses a non-busy bank.

4. tAS is measured from the address valid to the beginning of write.
5. A write occurs during the overlap (tWP) of low CE#1 and low WE#. A write begins when CE1#s goes low and WE# goes low when
asserting UB#s or LB#s for a single byte operation or simultaneously asserting UB#s and LB#s for a double byte operation. A
write ends at the earliest transition when CE1#s goes high and WE# goes high. The tWP is measured from the beginning of write

Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 3.0 V VCC, 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally,
programming typicals assume checkerboard 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 byteswords
program faster than the maximum program times listed.
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytewords 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
16 for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
