1 INTRODUCTION
This datasheet contains LH28F160S3HNS-L10
specifications. Section 1 provides a flash memory
overview. Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 describe the
memory organization and functionality. Section 6
covers electrical specifications.
1.1 Product Overview
The LH28F160S3HNS-L10 is a high-performance
16M-bit Smart 3 Flash memory organized as
2MBx8/1MBx16. The 2MB of data is arranged in
thirty-two 64K-byte blocks which are individually
erasable, lockable, and unlockable in-system. The
memory map is shown in Figure 3.
Smart 3 technology provides a choice of VCC and
VPP combinations, as shown in Table 1, to meet
system performance and power expectations. 2.7V
VCC consumes approximately one-fifth the power of
5V VCC. VPP at 2.7V, 3.3V and 5V eliminates the
need for a separate 12V converter, while VPP=5V
maximizes erase and write performance. In addition
to flexible erase and program voltages, the dedicated
VPP pin gives complete data protection when
VPP≤VPPLK.

Internal
VCC and VPP detection Circuitry
automatically configures the device for optimized
read and write operations.
A Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the
interface between the system processor and internal
operation of the device. A valid command sequence
written to the CUI initiates device automation. An
internal Write State Machine (WSM) automatically
executes the algorithms and timings necessary for
block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write
and block lock-bit configuration operations.
A block erase operation erases one of the device’s
64K-byte blocks typically within 0.41s (3.3V VCC, 5V
VPP) independent of other blocks. Each block can be
independently erased 100,000 times (3.2 million
block erases per device). Block erase suspend mode
allows system software to suspend block erase to
read or write data from any other block.
A word/byte write is performed in byte increments
typically within 12.95µs (3.3V VCC, 5V VPP). A multi
word/byte write has high speed write performance of
2.7µs/byte (3.3V VCC, 5V VPP). (Multi) Word/byte
3
write suspend mode enables the system to read data
or execute code from any other flash memory array
location.
Individual block locking uses a combination of bits
and WP#, Thirty-two block lock-bits, to lock and
unlock blocks. Block lock-bits gate block erase, full
chip erase and (multi) word/byte write operations.
Block lock-bit configuration operations (Set Block
Lock-Bit and Clear Block Lock-Bits commands) set
and cleared block lock-bits.
The status register indicates when the WSM’s block
erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write or block
lock-bit configuration operation is finished.
The STS output gives an additional indicator of WSM
activity by providing both a hardware signal of status
(versus software polling) and status masking
(interrupt masking for background block erase, for
example). Status polling using STS minimizes both
CPU overhead and system power consumption. STS
pin can be configured to different states using the
Configuration command. The STS pin defaults to
RY/BY# operation. When low, STS indicates that the
WSM is performing a block erase, full chip erase,
(multi) word/byte write or block lock-bit configuration.
STS-High Z indicates that the WSM is ready for a
new command, block erase is suspended and (multi)
word/byte write are inactive, (multi) word/byte write
are suspended, or the device is in deep power-down
mode. The other 3 alternate configurations are all
pulse mode for use as a system interrupt.
The access time is 100ns (tAVQV) over the extended
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and VCC supply
voltage range of 3.0V-3.6V. At lower VCC voltage, the
access time is 120ns (2.7V-3.6V).
The Automatic Power Savings (APS) feature
substantially reduces active current when the device
is in static mode (addresses not switching). In APS
mode, the typical ICCR current is 3 mA at 3.3V VCC.
When either CE0# or CE1#, and RP# pins are at VCC,
the ICC CMOS standby mode is enabled. When the
RP# pin is at GND, deep power-down mode is
enabled which minimizes power consumption and
provides write protection during reset. A reset time
(tPHQV) is required from RP# switching high until
outputs are valid. Likewise, the device has a wake
time (tPHEL) from RP#-high until writes to the CUI are
recognized. With RP# at GND, the WSM is reset and
the status register is cleared.
The device is available in 56-Lead SSOP (Shrink
Small Outline Package). Pinout is shown in Figure 2.

Table 2. Pin Descriptions
Name and Function
ADDRESS INPUTS: Inputs for addresses during read and write operations. Addresses are
internally latched during a write cycle.
A0: Byte Select Address. Not used in x16 mode(can be floated).
A1-A4: Column Address. Selects 1 of 16 bit lines.
A5-A15: Row Address. Selects 1 of 2048 word lines.
A16-A20 : Block Address.
DATA INPUT/OUTPUTS:
DQ0-DQ7:Inputs data and commands during CUI write cycles; outputs data during memory
array, status register, query, and identifier code read cycles. Data pins float to highimpedance when the chip is deselected or outputs are disabled. Data is internally latched
during a write cycle.
DQ8-DQ15:Inputs data during CUI write cycles in x16 mode; outputs data during memory
array read cycles in x16 mode; not used for status register, query and identifier code read
mode. Data pins float to high-impedance when the chip is deselected, outputs are
disabled, or in x8 mode(Byte#=VIL). Data is internally latched during a write cycle.
CHIP ENABLE: Activates the device’s control logic, input buffers decoders, and sense
amplifiers. Either CE0# or CE1# VIH deselects the device and reduces power consumption
to standby levels. Both CE0# and CE1# must be VIL to select the devices.
RESET/DEEP POWER-DOWN: Puts the device in deep power-down mode and resets
internal automation. RP# VIH enables normal operation. When driven VIL, RP# inhibits
write operations which provides data protection during power transitions. Exit from deep
power-down sets the device to read array mode.
OUTPUT ENABLE: Gates the device’s outputs during a read cycle.
WRITE ENABLE: Controls writes to the CUI and array blocks. Addresses and data are
latched on the rising edge of the WE# pulse.
STS (RY/BY#): Indicates the status of the internal WSM. When configured in level mode
(default mode), it acts as a RY/BY# pin. When low, the WSM is performing an internal
operation (block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write or block lock-bit
configuration). STS High Z indicates that the WSM is ready for new commands, block
erase is suspended, and (multi) word/byte write is inactive, (multi) word/byte write is
suspended or the device is in deep power-down mode. For alternate configurations of the
STATUS pin, see the Configuration command.
WRITE PROTECT: Master control for block locking. When VIL, Locked blocks can not be
erased and programmed, and block lock-bits can not be set and reset.
BYTE ENABLE: BYTE# VIL places device in x8 mode. All data is then input or output on
DQ0-7, and DQ8-15 float. BYTE# VIH places the device in x16 mode , and turns off the A0
input buffer.
BLOCK ERASE, FULL CHIP ERASE, (MULTI) WORD/BYTE WRITE, BLOCK LOCKBIT CONFIGURATION POWER SUPPLY: For erasing array blocks, writing bytes or
configuring block lock-bits. With VPP≤VPPLK, memory contents cannot be altered. Block
erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write and block lock-bit configuration with an invalid
VPP (see DC Characteristics) produce spurious results and should not be attempted.
DEVICE POWER SUPPLY: Internal detection configures the device for 2.7V or 3.3V
operation. To switch from one voltage to another, ramp VCC down to GND and then ramp
VCC to the new voltage. Do not float any power pins. With VCC≤VLKO, all write attempts to
the flash memory are inhibited. Device operations at invalid VCC voltage (see DC
Characteristics) produce spurious results and should not be attempted.
GROUND: Do not float any ground pins.
NO CONNECT: Lead is not internal connected; it may be driven or floated.

2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
1FFFFF
The LH28F160S3HNS-L10 Flash memory includes
an on-chip WSM to manage block erase, full chip
erase, (multi) word/byte write and block lock-bit
configuration functions. It allows for: 100% TTL-level
control inputs, fixed power supplies during block
erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write and
block lock-bit configuration, and minimal processor
overhead with RAM-Like interface timings.
After initial device power-up or return from deep
power-down mode (see Bus Operations), the device
defaults to read array mode. Manipulation of external
memory control pins allow array read, standby, and
output disable operations.
Status register, query structure and identifier codes
can be accessed through the CUI independent of the
VPP voltage. High voltage on VPP enables successful
block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write
and block lock-bit configuration. All functions
associated with altering memory contentsblock
erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write and
block lock-bit configuration, status, query and
identifier codesare accessed via the CUI and
verified through the status register.
Commands
are
written
using
standard
microprocessor write timings. The CUI contents serve
as input to the WSM, which controls the block erase,
full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write and block lockbit configuration. The internal algorithms are
regulated by the WSM, including pulse repetition,
internal verification, and margining of data.
Addresses and data are internally latch during write
cycles. Writing the appropriate command outputs
array data, accesses the identifier codes, outputs
query structure or outputs status register data.
Interface software that initiates and polls progress of
block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write
and block lock-bit configuration can be stored in any
block. This code is copied to and executed from
system RAM during flash memory updates. After
successful completion, reads are again possible via
the Read Array command. Block erase suspend
allows system software to suspend a block erase to
read or write data from any other block. Write
suspend allows system software to suspend a (multi)
word/byte write to read data from any other flash
memory array location.

2.1 Data Protection
3.2 Output Disable
Depending on the application, the system designer
may choose to make the VPP power supply
switchable (available only when block erase, full chip
erase, (multi) word/byte write and block lock-bit
configuration are required) or hardwired to VPPH1/2/3.
The device accommodates either design practice and
encourages optimization of the processor-memory
interface.
With OE# at a logic-high level (VIH), the device
outputs are disabled. Output pins DQ0-DQ15 are
placed in a high-impedance state.
When VPP≤VPPLK, memory contents cannot be
altered. The CUI, with multi-step block erase, full chip
erase, (multi) word/byte write and block lock-bit
configuration
command
sequences,
provides
protection from unwanted operations even when high
voltage is applied to VPP. All write functions are
disabled when VCC is below the write lockout voltage
VLKO or when RP# is at VIL. The device’s block
locking capability provides additional protection from
inadvertent code or data alteration by gating block
erase, full chip erase and (multi) word/byte write
operations.
3 BUS OPERATION
The local CPU reads and writes flash memory insystem. All bus cycles to or from the flash memory
conform to standard microprocessor bus cycles.
3.1 Read
Information can be read from any block, identifier
codes, query structure, or status register independent
of the VPP voltage. RP# must be at VIH.
The first task is to write the appropriate read mode
command (Read Array, Read Identifier Codes, Query
or Read Status Register) to the CUI. Upon initial
device power-up or after exit from deep power-down
mode, the device automatically resets to read array
mode. Five control pins dictate the data flow in and
out of the component: CE# (CE0#, CE1#), OE#, WE#,
RP# and WP#. CE0#, CE1# and OE# must be driven
active to obtain data at the outputs. CE0#, CE1# is
the device selection control, and when active enables
the selected memory device. OE# is the data output
(DQ0-DQ15) control and when active drives the
selected memory data onto the I/O bus. WE# and
RP# must be at VIH. Figure 17, 18 illustrates a read
cycle.
3.3 Standby
Either CE0# or CE1# at a logic-high level (VIH) places
the device in standby mode which substantially
reduces device power consumption. DQ0-DQ15
outputs are placed in a high-impedance state
independent of OE#. If deselected during block
erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write and
block lock-bit configuration, the device continues
functioning, and consuming active power until the
operation completes.
3.4 Deep Power-Down
RP# at VIL initiates the deep power-down mode.
In read modes, RP#-low deselects the memory,
places output drivers in a high-impedance state and
turns off all internal circuits. RP# must be held low for
a minimum of 100 ns. Time tPHQV is required after
return from power-down until initial memory access
outputs are valid. After this wake-up interval, normal
operation is restored. The CUI is reset to read array
mode and status register is set to 80H.
During block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte
write or block lock-bit configuration modes, RP#-low
will abort the operation. STS remains low until the
reset operation is complete. Memory contents being
altered are no longer valid; the data may be partially
erased or written. Time tPHWL is required after RP#
goes to logic-high (VIH) before another command can
be written.
As with any automated device, it is important to
assert RP# during system reset. When the system
comes out of reset, it expects to read from the flash
memory. Automated flash memories provide status
information when accessed during block erase, full
chip erase, (multi) word/byte write and block lock-bit
configuration. If a CPU reset occurs with no flash
memory reset, proper CPU initialization may not
occur because the flash memory may be providing
status information instead of array data. SHARP’s
flash memories allow proper CPU initialization

3.5 Read Identifier Codes Operation
3.6 Query Operation
The read identifier codes operation outputs the
manufacturer code, device code, block status codes
for each block (see Figure 4). Using the manufacturer
and device codes, the system CPU can automatically
match the device with its proper algorithms. The
block status codes identify locked or unlocked block
setting and erase completed or erase uncompleted
condition.
The query operation outputs the query structure.
Query database is stored in the 48Byte ROM. Query
structure allows system software to gain critical
information for controlling the flash component.
Query structure are always presented on the lowestorder data output (DQ0-DQ7) only.
Writing commands to the CUI enable reading of
device data and identifier codes. They also control
inspection and clearing of the status register. When
VCC=VCC1/2 and VPP=VPPH1/2/3, the CUI additionally
controls block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte
write and block lock-bit configuration.

The Block Erase command requires appropriate
command data and an address within the block to be
erased. The Word/byte Write command requires the
command and address of the location to be written.
Set Block Lock-Bit command requires the command
and block address within the device (Block Lock) to
be locked. The Clear Block Lock-Bits command
requires the command and address within the device.
The CUI does not occupy an addressable memory
location. It is written when WE# and CE# are active.
The address and data needed to execute a command
are latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#
(whichever goes high first). Standard microprocessor
write timings are used. Figures 19 and 20 illustrate
WE# and CE#-controlled write operations.

3.7 Write
When the VPP voltage ≤ VPPLK, Read operations from
the status register, identifier codes, query, or blocks
are enabled. Placing VPPH1/2/3 on VPP enables
successful block erase, full chip erase, (multi)
word/byte write and block lock-bit configuration
operations.
Device operations are selected by writing specific
commands into the CUI. Table 4 defines these
commands.

4.1 Read Array Command
4.3 Read Status Register Command
Upon initial device power-up and after exit from deep
power-down mode, the device defaults to read array
mode. This operation is also initiated by writing the
Read Array command. The device remains enabled
for reads until another command is written. Once the
internal WSM has started a block erase, full chip
erase, (multi) word/byte write or block lock-bit
configuration, the device will not recognize the Read
Array command until the WSM completes its
operation unless the WSM is suspended via an Erase
Suspend and (Multi) Word/byte Write Suspend
command. The Read Array command functions
independently of the VPP voltage and RP# must be
VIH.
The status register may be read to determine when a
block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write or
block lock-bit configuration is complete and whether
the operation completed successfully(see Table 14).
It may be read at any time by writing the Read Status
Register command. After writing this command, all
subsequent read operations output data from the
status register until another valid command is written.
The status register contents are latched on the falling
edge of OE# or CE#(Either CE0# or CE1#),
whichever occurs. OE# or CE#(Either CE0# or CE1#)
must toggle to VIH before further reads to update the
status register latch. The Read Status Register
command functions independently of the VPP voltage.
RP# must be VIH.
4.2 Read Identifier Codes Command
The identifier code operation is initiated by writing the
Read Identifier Codes command. Following the
command write, read cycles from addresses shown in
Figure 4 retrieve the manufacturer, device, block lock
configuration and block erase status (see Table 5 for
identifier code values). To terminate the operation,
write another valid command. Like the Read Array
command, the Read Identifier Codes command
functions independently of the VPP voltage and RP#
must be VIH. Following the Read Identifier Codes
command, the following information can be read:

NOTE:
1. X selects the specific block status code to be
read. See Figure 4 for the device identifier code
memory map.
The extended status register may be read to
determine multi word/byte write availability(see Table
14.1). The extended status register may be read at
any time by writing the Multi Word/Byte Write
command. After writing this command, all subsequent
read operations output data from the extended status
register, until another valid command is written. Multi
Word/Byte Write command must be re-issued to
update the extended status register latch.
4.4 Clear Status Register Command
Status register bits SR.5, SR.4, SR.3 and SR.1 are
set to "1"s by the WSM and can only be reset by the
Clear Status Register command. These bits indicate
various failure conditions (see Table 14). By allowing
system software to reset these bits, several
operations (such as cumulatively erasing or locking
multiple blocks or writing several bytes in sequence)
may be performed. The status register may be polled
to determine if an error occurs during the sequence.
To clear the status register, the Clear Status Register
command (50H) is written. It functions independently
of the applied VPP Voltage. RP# must be VIH. This
command is not functional during block erase, full
chip erase, (multi) word/byte write block lock-bit
configuration, block erase suspend or (multi)
word/byte write suspend modes.

4.5 Query Command
Query database can be read by writing Query
command (98H). Following the command write, read
cycle from address shown in Table 7~11 retrieve the
critical information to write, erase and otherwise
control the flash component. A0 of query offset
address is ignored when X8 mode (BYTE#=VIL).
Query data are always presented on the low-byte
data output (DQ0-DQ7). In x16 mode, high-byte
(DQ8-DQ15) outputs 00H. The bytes not assigned to
any information or reserved for future use are set to
"0". This command functions independently of the
VPP voltage. RP# must be VIH.

4.6 Block Erase Command
Block erase is executed one block at a time and
initiated by a two-cycle command. A block erase
setup is first written, followed by an block erase
confirm.
This command sequence requires
appropriate sequencing and an address within the
block to be erased (erase changes all block data to
FFH). Block preconditioning, erase and verify are
handled internally by the WSM (invisible to the
system). After the two-cycle block erase sequence is
written, the device automatically outputs status
register data when read (see Figure 5). The CPU can
detect block erase completion by analyzing the
output data of the STS pin or status register bit SR.7.
When the block erase is complete, status register bit
SR.5 should be checked. If a block erase error is
detected, the status register should be cleared before
system software attempts corrective actions. The CUI
remains in read status register mode until a new
command is issued.
This two-step command sequence of set-up followed
by execution ensures that block contents are not
accidentally erased. An invalid Block Erase command
sequence will result in both status register bits SR.4
and SR.5 being set to "1". Also, reliable block erasure
can only occur when VCC=VCC1/2 and VPP=VPPH1/2/3.
In the absence of this high voltage, block contents
are protected against erasure. If block erase is
attempted while VPP≤VPPLK, SR.3 and SR.5 will be
set to "1". Successful block erase requires that the
corresponding block lock-bit be cleared or if set, that
WP#=VIH. If block erase is attempted when the
corresponding block lock-bit is set and WP#=VIL,
SR.1 and SR.5 will be set to "1".
15
erase setup is first written, followed by a full chip
erase confirm. After a confirm command is written,
device erases the all unlocked blocks from block 0 to
Block 31 block by block. This command sequence
requires
appropriate
sequencing.
Block
preconditioning, erase and verify are handled
internally by the WSM (invisible to the system). After
the two-cycle full chip erase sequence is written, the
device automatically outputs status register data
when read (see Figure 6). The CPU can detect full
chip erase completion by analyzing the output data of
the STS pin or status register bit SR.7.
When the full chip erase is complete, status register
bit SR.5 should be checked. If erase error is
detected, the status register should be cleared before
system software attempts corrective actions. The CUI
remains in read status register mode until a new
command is issued. If error is detected on a block
during full chip erase operation, WSM stops erasing.
Reading the block valid status by issuing Read ID
Codes command or Query command informs which
blocks failed to its erase.
This two-step command sequence of set-up followed
by execution ensures that block contents are not
accidentally erased. An invalid Full Chip Erase
command sequence will result in both status register
bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to "1". Also, reliable full
chip erasure can only occur when VCC=VCC1/2 and
VPP=VPPH1/2/3. In the absence of this high voltage,
block contents are protected against erasure. If full
chip erase is attempted while VPP≤VPPLK, SR.3 and
SR.5 will be set to "1". When WP#=VIH, all blocks are
erased independent of block lock-bits status. When
WP#=VIL, only unlocked blocks are erased. In this
case, SR.1 and SR.5 will not be set to ‘‘1‘‘. Full chip
erase can not be suspended.

This command followed by a confirm command
(D0H) erases all of the unlocked blocks. A full chip

4.8 Word/Byte Write Command
Word/byte write is executed by a two-cycle command
sequence. Word/Byte Write setup (standard 40H or
alternate 10H) is written, followed by a second write
that specifies the address and data (latched on the
rising edge of WE#). The WSM then takes over,
controlling the word/byte write and write verify
algorithms internally. After the word/byte write
sequence is written, the device automatically outputs
status register data when read (see Figure 7). The
CPU can detect the completion of the word/byte write
event by analyzing the STS pin or status register bit
SR.7.
When word/byte write is complete, status register bit
SR.4 should be checked. If word/byte write error is
detected, the status register should be cleared. The
internal WSM verify only detects errors for "1"s that
do not successfully write to "0"s. The CUI remains in
read status register mode until it receives another
command.
Reliable word/byte writes can only occur when
VCC=VCC1/2 and VPP=VPPH1/2/3. In the absence of
this high voltage, memory contents are protected
against word/byte writes. If word/byte write is
attempted while VPP≤VPPLK, status register bits SR.3
and SR.4 will be set to "1". Successful word/byte
write requires that the corresponding block lock-bit be
cleared or, if set, that WP#=VIH. If word/byte write is
attempted when the corresponding block lock-bit is
set and WP#=VIL, SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to "1".
Word/byte write operations with VIL<WP#<VIH
produce spurious results and should not be
attempted.
4.9 Multi Word/Byte Write Command
Multi word/byte write is executed by at least fourcycle or up to 35-cycle command sequence. Up to
32 bytes in x8 mode (16 words in x16 mode) can be
loaded into the buffer and written to the Flash Array.
First, multi word/byte write setup (E8H) is written with
the write address. At this point, the device
automatically outputs extended status register data
(XSR) when read (see Figure 8, 9). If extended
status register bit XSR.7 is 0, no Multi Word/Byte
Write command is available and multi word/byte write
setup which just has been written is ignored. To retry,
16
continue monitoring XSR.7 by writing multi word/byte
write setup with write address until XSR.7 transitions
to 1. When XSR.7 transitions to 1, the device is ready
for loading the data to the buffer. A word/byte count
(N)-1 is written with write address. After writing a
word/byte count(N)-1, the device automatically turns
back to output status register data. The word/byte
count (N)-1 must be less than or equal to 1FH in x8
mode (0FH in x16 mode). On the next write, device
start address is written with buffer data. Subsequent
writes provide additional device address and data,
depending on the count. All subsequent address
must lie within the start address plus the count. After
the final buffer data is written, write confirm (D0H)
must be written. This initiates WSM to begin copying
the buffer data to the Flash Array. An invalid Multi
Word/Byte Write command sequence will result in
both status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to
"1". For additional multi word/byte write, write another
multi word/byte write setup and check XSR.7. The
Multi Word/Byte Write command can be queued
while WSM is busy as long as XSR.7 indicates "1",
because LH28F160S3HNS-L10 has two buffers. If an
error occurs while writing, the device will stop writing
and flush next multi word/byte write command loaded
in multi word/byte write command. Status register bit
SR.4 will be set to "1". No multi word/byte write
command is available if either SR.4 or SR.5 are set
to "1". SR.4 and SR.5 should be cleared before
issuing multi word/byte write command. If a multi
word/byte write command is attempted past an erase
block boundary, the device will write the data to Flash
Array up to an erase block boundary and then stop
writing. Status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 will be set
to "1".
Reliable multi byte writes can only occur when
VCC=VCC1/2 and VPP=VPPH1/2/3. In the absence of
this high voltage, memory contents are protected
against multi word/byte writes. If multi word/byte write
is attempted while VPP≤VPPLK, status register bits
SR.3 and SR.4 will be set to "1". Successful multi
word/byte write requires that the corresponding block
lock-bit be cleared or, if set, that WP#=VIH. If multi
byte write is attempted when the corresponding block
lock-bit is set and WP#=VIL, SR.1 and SR.4 will be
set to "1".

4.10 Block Erase Suspend Command
The Block Erase Suspend command allows blockerase interruption to read or (multi) word/byte-write
data in another block of memory. Once the blockerase process starts, writing the Block Erase
Suspend command requests that the WSM suspend
the block erase sequence at a predetermined point in
the algorithm. The device outputs status register data
when read after the Block Erase Suspend command
is written. Polling status register bits SR.7 and SR.6
can determine when the block erase operation has
been suspended (both will be set to "1"). STS will
also transition to High Z. Specification tWHRH2 defines
the block erase suspend latency.
At this point, a Read Array command can be written
to read data from blocks other than that which is
suspended. A (Multi) Word/Byte Write command
sequence can also be issued during erase suspend
to program data in other blocks. Using the (Multi)
Word/Byte Write Suspend command (see Section
4.11), a (multi) word/byte write operation can also be
suspended. During a (multi) word/byte write operation
with block erase suspended, status register bit SR.7
will return to "0" and the STS (if set to RY/BY#)
output will transition to VOL. However, SR.6 will
remain "1" to indicate block erase suspend status.
The only other valid commands while block erase is
suspended are Read Status Register and Block
Erase Resume. After a Block Erase Resume
command is written to the flash memory, the WSM
will continue the block erase process. Status register
bits SR.6 and SR.7 will automatically clear and STS
will return to VOL. After the Erase Resume command
is written, the device automatically outputs status
register data when read (see Figure 10). VPP must
remain at VPPH1/2/3 (the same VPP level used for
block erase) while block erase is suspended. RP#
must also remain at VIH. WP# must also remain at
the same level used for block erase. BYTE# must be
the same level as writing the Block Erase command
when the Block Erase Resume command is written.
Block erase cannot resume until (multi) word/byte
17
write operations initiated during block erase suspend
have completed.
4.11 (Multi) Word/Byte Write Suspend
Command
The (Multi) Word/Byte Write Suspend command
allows (multi) word/byte write interruption to read data
in other flash memory locations. Once the (multi)
word/byte write process starts, writing the (Multi)
Word/Byte Write Suspend command requests that
the WSM suspend the (multi) word/byte write
sequence at a predetermined point in the algorithm.
The device continues to output status register data
when read after the (Multi) Word/Byte Write Suspend
command is written. Polling status register bits SR.7
and SR.2 can determine when the (multi) word/byte
write operation has been suspended (both will be set
to "1"). STS will also transition to High Z.
Specification tWHRH1 defines the (multi) word/byte
write suspend latency.
At this point, a Read Array command can be written
to read data from locations other than that which is
suspended. The only other valid commands while
(multi) word/byte write is suspended are Read Status
Register and (Multi) Word/Byte Write Resume. After
(Multi) Word/Byte Write Resume command is written
to the flash memory, the WSM will continue the
(multi) word/byte write process. Status register bits
SR.2 and SR.7 will automatically clear and STS will
return to VOL. After the (Multi) Word/Byte Write
command is written, the device automatically outputs
status register data when read (see Figure 11). VPP
must remain at VPPH1/2/3 (the same VPP level used
for (multi) word/byte write) while in (multi) word/byte
write suspend mode. RP# must also remain at VIH.
WP# must also remain at the same level used for
(multi) word/byte write. BYTE# must be the same
level as writing the (Multi) Word/Byte Write command
when the (Multi) Word/Byte Write Resume command
is written.

4.12 Set Block Lock-Bit Command
A flexible block locking and unlocking scheme is
enabled via block lock-bits. The block lock-bits gate
program and erase operations With WP#=VIH,
individual block lock-bits can be set using the Set
Block Lock-Bit command. See Table 13 for a
summary of hardware and software write protection
options.
Set block lock-bit is executed by a two-cycle
command sequence. The set block lock-bit setup
along with appropriate block or device address is
written followed by either the set block lock-bit
confirm (and an address within the block to be
locked). The WSM then controls the set block lock-bit
algorithm. After the sequence is written, the device
automatically outputs status register data when read
(see Figure 12). The CPU can detect the completion
of the set block lock-bit event by analyzing the STS
pin output or status register bit SR.7.
When the set block lock-bit operation is complete,
status register bit SR.4 should be checked. If an error
is detected, the status register should be cleared.
The CUI will remain in read status register mode until
a new command is issued.
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by
execution ensures that block lock-bits are not
accidentally set. An invalid Set Block Lock-Bit
command will result in status register bits SR.4 and
SR.5 being set to "1". Also, reliable operations occur
only when VCC=VCC1/2 and VPP=VPPH1/2/3. In the
absence of this high voltage, block lock-bit contents
are protected against alteration.
A successful set block lock-bit operation requires
WP#=VIH. If it is attempted with WP#=VIL, SR.1 and
SR.4 will be set to "1" and the operation will fail. Set
block lock-bit operations with WP#<VIH produce
spurious results and should not be attempted.
18
block lock-bits can be cleared using only the Clear
Block Lock-Bits command. See Table 13 for a
summary of hardware and software write protection
options.
Clear block lock-bits operation is executed by a twocycle command sequence. A clear block lock-bits
setup is first written. After the command is written, the
device automatically outputs status register data
when read (see Figure 13). The CPU can detect
completion of the clear block lock-bits event by
analyzing the STS Pin output or status register bit
SR.7.
When the operation is complete, status register bit
SR.5 should be checked. If a clear block lock-bit error
is detected, the status register should be cleared.
The CUI will remain in read status register mode until
another command is issued.
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by
execution ensures that block lock-bits are not
accidentally cleared. An invalid Clear Block Lock-Bits
command sequence will result in status register bits
SR.4 and SR.5 being set to "1". Also, a reliable clear
block lock-bits operation can only occur when
VCC=VCC1/2 and VPP=VPPH1/2/3. If a clear block lockbits operation is attempted while VPP≤VPPLK, SR.3
and SR.5 will be set to "1". In the absence of this high
voltage, the block lock-bits content are protected
against alteration. A successful clear block lock-bits
operation requires WP#=VIH. If it is attempted with
WP#=VIL, SR.1 and SR.5 will be set to "1" and the
operation will fail. Clear block lock-bits operations
with VIH<RP# produce spurious results and should
not be attempted.
If a clear block lock-bits operation is aborted due to
VPP or VCC transitioning out of valid range or RP#
active transition, block lock-bit values are left in an
undetermined state. A repeat of clear block lock-bits
is required to initialize block lock-bit contents to
known values.
4.13 Clear Block Lock-Bits Command
All set block lock-bits are cleared in parallel via the
Clear Block Lock-Bits command. With WP#=VIH,

4.14 STS Configuration Command
The Status (STS) pin can be configured to different
states using the STS Configuration command. Once
the STS pin has been configured, it remains in that
configuration until another configuration command is
issued, the device is powered down or RP# is set to
VIL. Upon initial device power-up and after exit from
deep power-down mode, the STS pin defaults to
RY/BY# operation where STS low indicates that the
WSM is busy. STS High Z indicates that the WSM is
ready for a new operation.
To reconfigure the STS pin to other modes, the STS
Configuration is issued followed by the appropriate
configuration code. The three alternate configurations
are all pulse mode for use as a system interrupt. The
STS Configuration command functions independently
of the VPP voltage and RP# must be VIH.

5 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Three-Line Output Control
The device will often be used in large memory arrays.
SHARP
provides
three
control
inputs
to
accommodate multiple memory connections. ThreeLine control provides for:
a. Lowest possible memory power dissipation.
b. Complete assurance that data bus contention will
not occur.
To use these control inputs efficiently, an address
decoder should enable CE# while OE# should be
connected to all memory devices and the system’s
READ# control line. This assures that only selected
memory devices have active outputs while
deselected memory devices are in standby mode.
RP# should be connected to the system
POWERGOOD signal to prevent unintended writes
during system power transitions. POWERGOOD
should also toggle during system reset.
5.2 STS and Block Erase, Full Chip
Erase, (Multi) Word/Byte Write and
Block Lock-Bit Configuration Polling
STS is an open drain output that should be
connected to VCC by a pullup resistor to provide a
hardware method of detecting block erase, full chip
erase, (multi) word/byte write and block lock-bit
configuration completion. In default mode, it
transitions low after block erase, full chip erase,
(multi) word/byte write or block lock-bit configuration
commands and returns to VOH when the WSM has
finished executing the internal algorithm. For
alternate STS pin configurations, see the
Configuration command.
30
STS, in default mode, is also High Z when the device
is in block erase suspend (with (multi) word/byte write
inactive), (multi) word/byte write suspend or deep
power-down modes.
5.3 Power Supply Decoupling
Flash memory power switching characteristics require
careful device decoupling. System designers are
interested in three supply current issues; standby
current levels, active current levels and transient
peaks produced by falling and rising edges of CE#
and OE#. Transient current magnitudes depend on
the device outputs’ capacitive and inductive loading.
Two-line control and proper decoupling capacitor
selection will suppress transient voltage peaks. Each
device should have a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
connected between its VCC and GND and between its
VPP and GND. These high-frequency, low inductance
capacitors should be placed as close as possible to
package leads. Additionally, for every eight devices,
a 4.7µF electrolytic capacitor should be placed at the
array’s power supply connection between VCC and
GND. The bulk capacitor will overcome voltage
slumps caused by PC board trace inductance.
5.4 VPP Trace on Printed Circuit Boards
Updating flash memories that reside in the target
system requires that the printed circuit board
designer pay attention to the VPP Power supply trace.
The VPP pin supplies the memory cell current for
block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write
and block lock-bit configuration. Use similar trace
widths and layout considerations given to the VCC
power bus. Adequate VPP supply traces and
decoupling will decrease VPP voltage spikes and
overshoots.
STS can be connected to an interrupt input of the
system CPU or controller. It is active at all times.
Rev. 2.0
sharp
LHF16KAS
5.5 VCC, VPP, RP# Transitions
Block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write
and block lock-bit configuration are not guaranteed if
VPP falls outside of a valid VPPH1/2/3 range, VCC falls
outside of a valid VCC1/2 range, or RP#=VIL. If VPP
error is detected, status register bit SR.3 is set to "1"
along with SR.4 or SR.5, depending on the attempted
operation. If RP# transitions to VIL during block
erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write or block
lock-bit configuration, STS(if set to RY/BY# mode)
will remain low until the reset operation is complete.
Then, the operation will abort and the device will
enter deep power-down. The aborted operation may
leave data partially altered. Therefore, the command
sequence must be repeated after normal operation is
restored. Device power-off or RP# transitions to VIL
clear the status register.
The CUI latches commands issued by system
software and is not altered by VPP or CE# transitions
or WSM actions. Its state is read array mode upon
power-up, after exit from deep power-down or after
VCC transitions below VLKO.
After block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte
write or block lock-bit configuration, even after VPP
transitions down to VPPLK, the CUI must be placed in
read array mode via the Read Array command if
subsequent access to the memory array is desired.
5.6 Power-Up/Down Protection
The device is designed to offer protection against
accidental block and full chip erasure, (multi)
word/byte writing or block lock-bit configuration during
power transitions. Upon power-up, the device is
indifferent as to which power supply (VPP or VCC)
31
powers-up first. Internal circuitry resets the CUI to
read array mode at power-up.
A system designer must guard against spurious
writes for VCC voltages above VLKO when VPP is
active. Since both WE# and CE# must be low for a
command write, driving either to VIH will inhibit writes.
The CUI’s two-step command sequence architecture
provides added level of protection against data
alteration.
In-system block lock and unlock capability prevents
inadvertent data alteration. The device is disabled
while RP#=VIL regardless of its control inputs state.
5.7 Power Dissipation
When designing portable systems, designers must
consider battery power consumption not only during
device operation, but also for data retention during
system idle time. Flash memory’s nonvolatility
increases usable battery life because data is retained
when system power is removed.
In addition, deep power-down mode ensures
extremely low power consumption even when system
power is applied. For example, portable computing
products and other power sensitive applications that
use an array of devices for solid-state storage can
consume negligible power by lowering RP# to VIL
standby or sleep modes. If access is again needed,
the devices can be read following the tPHQV and
tPHWL wake-up cycles required after RP# is first
raised to VIH. See AC Characteristics Read Only
and Write Operations and Figures 17, 18, 19, 20 for
more information.

NOTES:
1. In systems where CE# defines the write pulse width (within a longer WE# timing waveform), all setup, hold and
inactive WE# times should be measured relative to the CE# waveform.
2. Sampled, not 100% tested.
3. Refer to Table 4 for valid AIN and DIN for block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write or block lock-bit
configuration.
4. VPP should be held at VPPH1/2/3 until determination of block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write or
block lock-bit configuration success (SR.1/3/4/5=0).
5. See Ordering Information for device speeds (valid operational combinations).
6. BYTE# should be in stable until determination of block erase, full chip erase, (multi) word/byte write, block lockbit configuration or STS configuration success (SR.7=1).

operation is not executing, the reset will complete within 100ns.
2. A reset time, tPHQV, is required from the latter of STS going High Z or RP# going high until outputs are valid.
3. When the device power-up, holding RP# low minimum 100ns is required after VCC has been in predefined range
and also has been in stable there.
