The NX29F010 provides in-system programming with the standard system 5.0V-only Vcc supply and can be programmed or erased in standard PROM programmers. The NX29F010 offers access times of 35, 45, 55, 70, and 90 ns allowing high-speed controller and DSPs' to operate without wait states. Byte-wide data appears on DQ0-DQ7. Separate chip enable (CE), write enable (WE), and output enable (OE) controls eliminates bus contention. Power consumption is greatly reduced when the system places the device into the Standby Mode. The device is offered in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP, and PDIP packages. • Flexible sector architecture – Erase any of eight uniform sectors or full chip erase – Sector protection/unprotection using PROM programming equipment • 100,000 Program/Erase cycles • Embedded algorithms – Automatically programs and verifies data at specified address – Auto-programs and erases the chip or any designated sector • Data/Polling and Toggle Bits – Detect program or erase cycle completion Principles of Operation Only a single 5.0V power supply is required for both read and write functions. Program or erase operations do not require 12.0V VPP. 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. Executing the Program Command Sequence invokes the Embedded Program Algorithm, an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin.

NXPF001F-0600 06/22/00 © 1 NX29F010 Executing the Erase Command Sequence invokes the Embedded Erase Algorithm, an internal algorithm that automatically pre-programs the array to all zeros (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 during erase. By reading the DQ7 (Data Polling) and DQ6 (toggle) status bits, the host system can detect whether a program or erase operation is complete. After completion, the device is ready to read array data or accept another command. The sector erase architecture is designed to allow memory sectors to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data contents of other sectors. The device is erased before it is shipped to customers. The hardware data protection includes a low Vcc detector that automatically inhibits write operations during power transitions. The hardware sector protection feature will disable both program and erase operations in any combination of the sectors of memory, and is implemented using standard EPROM programming algorithm. The device electrically erases all bits within a sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. Data are programmed one byte at a time using the EPROM programming algorithm of hot electron injection.

See the Sector Protection/Unprotection section. Requirements for Reading Array Data Upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset, the internal state machine is set for reading array data. 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. The system must drive the CE and OE pins to VIL to read array data from the outputs. CE is the power control and selects the device. OE is the output control that passes array data to the output pins. During a READ operation, WE must remain at VIH. Write Commands/Command Sequences The system must drive WE and CE to VIL, and OE to VIH to write a command or command sequence (which includes programming data to the device and erasing sectors of memory). An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. The Sector Address Table (see Table 3) 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. 4 Table 3.

The system can then read auto-select 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 "Auto-select Mode and Auto-select Command Sequence" sections for more information. Program and Erase Operation Status By reading the status bits on DQ7-DQ0, the system may check the status of the operation during an erase or program operation. NexFlash Technologies, Inc. NXPF001F-0600 06/22/00 © NX29F010 Standby Mode In the Standby Mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and the outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE input. The system can place the device in the standby mode when it is not reading or writing to the device. The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the CE pin is held at VCC ± 0.5V. 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. If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws active current until the operation is completed. sector protection, the sector address must appear on the appropriate highest order address bits. Refer to the corresponding Sector Address Table (Table 3). 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 auto-select codes in-system, the host system can issue the auto-select 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 auto-select mode. Sector Protection/Unprotection Output Disable Mode When the OE = VIH, the output from the device is disabled and the output pins are placed in the high-impedance state. Auto-select Mode The auto-select mode provides access to the manufacturer and device equivalent codes, as well as sector protection verification codes, via the DQ7-DQ0 pins. This mode is primarily intended for programming equipment to automatically match a device to be programmed with its corresponding programming algorithm. However, the auto-select codes can also be accessed in-system through the command register. When using programming equipment, the auto-select mode requires VID (11.5V to 12.5V) on address pin A9. Address pins A1 and A0 must be as shown in Auto-select Codes (High Voltage Method), Table 4. In addition, when verifying 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 procedure requires a high voltage (VID) on address pin A9 and the control pins. Details on this method are provided in a supplement. Contact an NexFlash representative to obtain a copy of the appropriate document. The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected. NexFlash offers the option of programming and protecting sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device. Contact a NexFlash representative for details. It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or unprotected. See "Auto-select Mode" for details. Table 4.

NXPF001F-0600 06/22/00 © 5 NX29F010 Hardware Data Protection 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 programming, which might otherwise be caused by spurious system level signals during VCC power-up and power-down transitions, or from system noise. The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the device for reading array data if the error status bit, DQ5, is set high after an erase or program operation, or while in the auto-select 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 Operation's table provides the read parameters, and Read Operation Timings diagram shows the timing diagram. Reset Command 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. Power-Up Write Inhibit If WE = CE = VIL and OE = VIH during power-up, the device does not accept commands on the rising edge of WE. The internal state machine is automatically reset to reading array data on power-up. COMMAND DEFINITIONS Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device operations. The Command Definitions Table 5 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. 6 The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase command sequence before erasing begins. This resets the device for 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. 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 auto-select command sequence. Once in the auto-select mode, the reset command must be written to return to reading array data. If the error status bit, DQ5, goes high during a program or erase operation, writing the reset command returns the device to reading array data. Auto-select Command Sequence The auto-select command sequence allows the host system to access the manufacturer and device equivalent codes, and determines whether or not a sector is protected. The Command Definitions Table 5 shows the address and data requirements. This method is an alternative to that shown in the Auto-select Codes (High Voltage Method) Table 4, which is intended for PROM programmers and requires VID on address bit A9. The auto-select command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by the auto-select command. The device then enters the auto-select mode, and the system may read at any address any number of times, without initiating another command sequence. NexFlash Technologies, Inc.

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 auto-select 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 setup command. The pro- NexFlash Technologies, Inc. NXPF001F-0600 06/22/00 © gram 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 Table (Table 5) 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. 7 NX29F010 Commands written to the device while the Embedded Program Algorithm is in progress are ignored. 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 the error status bit, DQ5, to '1', or cause the Data Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was successful. However, a succeeding read will show that the data is still '0'. Only erase operations can convert a '0' to a '1'. Note: See Command Definitions (Table 5) for program command sequence. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7 or DQ6. See "Write Operation Status" for information on these status bits. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched.

INCREMENT ADDRESS Chip erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The chip erase command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by a setup 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. The Command Definitions table shows the address and data requirements for the chip erase command sequence. Commands written to the chip while the Embedded Erase Algorithm is in progress are ignored. START EMBEDDED PROGRAM ALGORITHM IN PROGRESS Chip Erase Command Sequence LAST ADDRESS? YES PROGRAMMING COMPLETE NO Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector erase command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by a setup command. Two additional unlock write cycles are then followed by the address of the sector to be erased, and the sector erase command. The Command Definitions Table (Table 5) shows the address and data requirements for the sector erase command sequence. 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. Figure 5. Program Operation 8 NexFlash Technologies, Inc.

YES ERASURE COMPLETE 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 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 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, all other commands are ignored. Figure 6. Erase Operation Notes: 1. For Erase Command Sequence. See Command Definitions table. 2. See "DQ3: Sector Erase Timer" for more information. 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 or DQ6. Refer to "Write Operation Status" for information on these status bits. Figure 6 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer to the Erase/Program Operations tables in the "AC Characteristics" section for parameters, and to the Sector Erase Operations Timing diagram for timing waveforms. NexFlash Technologies, Inc. NXPF001F-0600 06/22/00 © 9 NX29F010 WRITE OPERATION STATUS The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, and DQ7. DQ7 and DQ6 each offer a method for determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or in progress. Table 6 and the following subsections describe the functions of these bits. START READ DQ7-DQ0 ADDR = VA DQ7: Data Polling The Data Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or completed. 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. When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device outputs the true 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. During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data Polling produces a "0" on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, 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. When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the complement to true data, it can read valid data at DQ7-DQ0 on the following read cycles. This is because DQ7 may change asynchronously with DQ0-DQ6 while Output Enable (OE) is asserted low. The Data Polling Timings (During Embedded Algorithms) figure in the "AC Characteristics" section illustrates this. 10 YES DQ7 = DATA? NO NO DQ5 = 1? YES READ DQ7-DQ0 ADDR = VA DQ7 = DATA? YES NO FAIL PASS Notes: 1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector erase operation, a valid address is an address within any sector selected for erasure. During chip erase, a valid address is any non-protected sector address. 2. DQ7 should be rechecked even if DQ5 ="1" because DQ7 may change simultaneously with DQ5. Figure 7. Data Polling Algorithm Table 6 shows the outputs for Data Polling on DQ7. Figure 7 shows the Data Polling algorithm. NexFlash Technologies, Inc. NXPF001F-0600 06/22/00 © NX29F010 DQ6: Toggle Bit I Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete. 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. START ADDR = VA READ DQ7-DQ0(1) 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. OLD_DQ6 < DQ6 ADDR = VA READ DQ7-DQ0 NEW_DQ6 < DQ6 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. 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. The Write Operation Status table shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6. Refer to Figure 8 for the toggle bit algorithm, and to the Toggle Bit Timings figure in the "AC Characteristics" section for the timing diagram. Reading Toggle Bit DQ6 Refer to Figure 8 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. NEW_DQ6 = OLD_DQ6? YES NO NO DQ5 = 1? YES OLD_DQ6 < DQ6 ADDR = VA READ DQ7-DQ0 NEW_DQ6 < DQ6 NEW_DQ6 = OLD_DQ6? YES NO FAIL PASS Notes: 1. Read toggle bit twice to determine whether or not it is toggling. See text. 2. Recheck toggle bit because it may stop toggling as DQ5 changes to '1'. See text. 3. VA = Valid Address. Figure 8. Toggle Bit Algorithm NexFlash Technologies, Inc. NXPF001F-0600 06/22/00 © 11 NX29F010 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 8). 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 as not successfully completed. The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system tries to program a "1" to a location that is previously programmed to "0." Only an erase operation can change a "0" back to a "1." Under this condition, the device halts the operation, and when the operation has exceeded the timing limits, DQ5 produces a "1." Under both these conditions, the system must issue the reset command to return the device to reading array data. 12 DQ3: Sector Erase Timer After writing a sector erase command sequence, the system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not an erase operation has begun. (The sector erase timer does not apply to the chip erase command.) If additional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-out also applies after each additional sector erase command. When the time-out is complete, DQ3 switches from "0" to "1." The system may ignore DQ3 if the system can guarantee that the time between additional sector erase commands will always be less than 50 µs. See also the "Sector Erase Command Sequence" section. 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 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.

Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 5.0V Vcc, 100,000 cycles. Additionally, programming typicals assume checkerboard pattern. 2. Under worst case conditions for Commercial and Industrial temperature ranges, Vcc = 4.5V (4.75V for –35), 100,000 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 2 for further information on command definitions. 6. The device has a typical erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles. 100,000 cycles are guaranteed. LATCHUP CHARACTERISTIC Parameter Min.
