GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29LV033C is a 32-mega bit Flash memory organized as 4M bytes of 8 bits. MXIC's Flash memories
offer the most cost-effective and reliable read/write nonvolatile random access memory. The MX29LV033C is
packaged in 40-pin TSOP. 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
MX29LV033C uses a command register to manage this
functionality.
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 MX29LV033C uses a 2.7V to 3.6V VCC
The standard MX29LV033C offers access time as fast
as 70ns, allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors without wait states. To eliminate bus contention, the
MX29LV033C has separate chip enable (CE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.

supply to perform the High Reliability Erase and auto
Program/Erase algorithms.
matically 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 pre-program 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 MX29LV033C is byte 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 MX29LV033C is less than 36 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 MX29LV033C electrically erases all bits simultaneously using Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The bytes 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 35 seconds. The Automatic Erase algorithm
automatically programs the entire array prior to electrical erase. The timing and verification of electrical erase
are controlled internally within the device.
AUTOMATIC SECTOR ERASE
The MX29LV033C 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 auto-

MX29LV033C
REQUIREMENTS FOR READING ARRAY DATA
ACCELERATED PROGRAM OPERATION
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 device offers accelerated program operations through
the ACC function. If the system asserts VHH on ACC
pin, the device will provide the fast programming time to
user. This function is primarily intended to allow faster
manufacturing throughput during production. Removing
VHH from the ACC pin returns the device to normal operation. Note that 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
MX29LV033C 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
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.
To program data to the device or erase 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. 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.
In the standby mode the outputs are in the high impedance state, independent of the OE# input.
After the system writes the auto-select command sequence, the device enters the auto-select mode. The
system can then read auto-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 Auto-select Mode and Auto-select Command
Sequence section for more information.
MX29LV033C 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, MX29LV033C automatically switch
themselves to low power mode when MX29LV033C addresses remain stable during access time of tACC+30ns.
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).

MX29LV033C
OUTPUT DISABLE
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.
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.
MX29LV033C 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 UNPROTECTED OPERATION
The MX29LV033C also features the chip unprotected
mode, so that all sectors are unprotected after chip
unprotected is completed to incorporate any changes in
the code. It is recommended to protect all sectors before
activating chip unprotected mode.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a "0" (busy) until the internal reset operation is complete, which requires a time of
tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The system can
thus monitor RY/BY# to determine whether the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is asserted when a program or erase operation is completed within a time of
tREADY (not during Embedded Algorithms). The system
can read data tRH after the RESET# pin returns to VIH.
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.
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# parameters and to Figure 3 for the timing diagram.
MX29LV033C 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.
SECTOR GROUP PROTECT OPERATION
The MX29LV033C features hardware sector group protection. This feature will disable both program and erase
operations for these sector group protected. To activate
this mode, the programming equipment must force VID
on address pin A9 and control pin OE#, (suggest VID =
It is also possible to determine if the chip is unprotected
in the system by writing the Read Silicon ID command.

is noted that all sectors are unprotected after the chip
unprotected algorithm is completed.
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.
TEMPORARY SECTOR GROUP UNPROTECTED OPERATION
MX29LV033C 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 MX29LV033C device code of A3H.
This feature allows temporary unprotected of previously
protected sector to change data in-system. The Temporary Sector Unprotected 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 RESET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are protected again.
VERIFY SECTOR GROUP PROTECT STATUS OPERATION
MX29LV033C provides hardware method for sector group

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.

DATA PROTECTION
tween its VCC and GND.
The MX29LV033C 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.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
In order to reduce power switching effect, each device
should have a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor connected between its VCC and GND.
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 MX29LV033C powers up in the Read only mode. In
addition, the memory contents may only be altered after
successful completion of the predefined command sequences.

READING ARRAY DATA
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 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 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).
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 Q5 goes high, or
while in the auto-select mode. See the "Reset Command"
section, next.
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).
SILICON ID READ COMMAND SEQUENCE
The SILICON ID READ command sequence allows the
host system to access the manufacturer and devices
codes, and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
Table 2 shows the address and data requirements. This
method is an alternative to that shown in Table 1, which
is intended for PROM programmers and requires VID on
address bit A9.
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 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
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

to Table for valid sector addresses.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
auto-select mode and return to reading array data.
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".
BYTE PROGRAM COMMAND SEQUENCE
The device programs one byte of data for each program
operation. 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 1 shows the address
and data requirements for the byte program command
sequence.
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.
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 MX29LV033C 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 A3H for MX29LV033C.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a hardware
reset immediately terminates the programming operation.

ERASE SUSPEND
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation.
See the Erase/Program Operations tables in "AC Characteristics" for parameters, and to Figure 16 for timing
diagrams.
This command only has meaning while the state machine is executing Automatic Sector Erase operation, and
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.
SECTOR ERASE COMMANDS
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.
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.

Q7: Data# Polling
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.
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 4 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
4 to compare outputs for Q2 and Q6.
dition.
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 byte programming operation, it specifies that the entire sector containing that byte 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
the only operating functions of the device under this con-
If Data# Polling or the Toggle Bit indicates the device has
been written with a valid erase command, Q3 may be
used to determine if the sector erase timer window is
still open. If Q3 is high ("1") the internally controlled erase
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.
If the time between additional erase commands from the
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. See
Figure 6. 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. See Figure 7.
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. See Figure 6. 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.

MX29LV033C
The single cycle Query command is valid only when the
device is in the Read mode, including Erase Suspend,
Standby mode, and Automatic Select mode; however, it
is ignored otherwise.
QUERY COMMAND AND COMMON FLASH
INTERFACE (CFI) MODE
MX29LV033C 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 5.
The Reset command exits from the CFI mode to the Read
mode, or Erase Suspend mode, or Automatic Select mode.
The command is valid only when the device is in the CFI
mode.
