Amendment: 10 Issue Date: April 23, 2010
DATA SHEET
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F160D is a 16 Mbit, 5.0 Volt-only Flash
memory device organized as 2,097,152 bytes or
1,048,576 words. Data appears on DQ0-DQ7 or DQ0DQ15 depending on the data width selected. The
device is designed to be programmed in-system with
the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply. A 12.0 volt
VPP is not required for program or erase operations.
The device can also be programmed in standard
EPROM programmers.
The device offers access times of 70 and 90 ns, allowing
high speed microprocessors to operate without wait
states. The device is offered in a 48-pin TSOP
package. To eliminate bus contention each device has
separate chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and
output enable (OE#) controls.
Each device requires only a single 5.0 volt power
supply for both read and write functions. Internally
generated and regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Commands are written to the command register using standard microprocessor write timing. Register contents
serve as inputs to an internal state-machine that controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles
also internally latch addresses and data needed for the
programming and erase operations. Reading data out
of the device is similar to reading from other Flash or
EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by executing the program
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded
Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facilitates faster programming times by requiring only two
write cycles to program data instead of four.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded
Erase algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically preprograms the array (if it is not already programmed) before executing the erase operation.
During erase, the device automatically times the erase
pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin.
2
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by observing the RY/BY#
pin, by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling), or DQ6
(toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle is
completed, the device is ready to read array data or
accept another command.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the
data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
VCC detector that automatically inhibits write operations
during power transitions. The hardware sector protection feature disables both program and erase operations
in any combination of sectors of memory. This can be
achieved in-system or via programming equipment.
The Write Protect (WP#) feature protects the 16
Kbyte boot sector from erasure, by asserting a logic
low on the WP# pin, whether or not the sector had
been previously protected.
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume feature enables
the user to put erase on hold for any period of time to
read data from, or program data to, any sector that is
not selected for erasure. True background erase can
thus be achieved.
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation
in progress and resets the internal state machine to
reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to the
system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also
reset the device, enabling the system microprocessor
to read boot-up firmware from the Flash memory device.
The device offers a standby mode as a power-saving
feature. Once the system places the device into the
standby mode power consumption is greatly reduced.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash
memory manufacturing experience to produce the
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness. The device electrically erases all bits within a
sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling.
The data is programmed using hot electron injection.

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

Notes:
1. Addresses are A19:A0 in word mode (BYTE# = VIH), A19:A-1 in byte mode (BYTE# = VIL).
2. The sector protect and sector unprotect functions may also be implemented via programming equipment. See the “Sector
Protection/Unprotection” section.
3. The 16 Kbyte boot sector is protected from erasure when WP# = VIL.
4. In CMOS mode, WP# must be at VCC±0.5 V or left floating.
Word/Byte Configuration
The BYTE# pin controls whether the device data I/O
pins DQ15–DQ0 operate in the byte or word configuration. If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘1’, the device is in
word configuration, DQ15–DQ0 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#.
If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘0’, the device is in byte
configuration, and only data I/O pins DQ0–DQ7 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#. The data I/O pins
DQ8–DQ14 are tri-stated, and the DQ15 pin is used as
an input for the LSB (A-1) address function.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outputs, the system must
drive the CE# and OE# pins to VIL. CE# is the power
control and selects the device. OE# is the output control
8
and gates array data to the output pins. WE# should remain at VIH.
The internal state machine is set for reading array
data upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset.
This ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory content occurs during the power transition. No
command is necessary in this mode to obtain array
data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert valid addresses on the device address inputs
produce valid data on the device data outputs. The
device remains enabled for read access until the
command register contents are altered.
See Reading Array Data‚ on page 18 for more information. Refer to the AC Read Operations table for timing
specifications and to the Read Operations Timings diagram for the timing waveforms. ICC1 in the DC Char-
Am29F160D
Am29F160D_00_D10 April 23, 2010
DATA SHEET
acteristics table represents the active current specification for reading array data.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To write a command or command sequence (which includes programming data to the device and erasing
sectors of memory), the system must drive WE# and
CE# to VIL, and OE# to VIH.
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. The Sector Address Tables 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‚ on page 18 section for details on erasing a sector
or the entire chip, or suspending/resuming the erase
operation.
After the system writes the autoselect command sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The
system can then read autoselect codes from the internal register (which is separate from the memory array)
on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this
mode. Refer to the Autoselect Mode‚ on page 12 and
Autoselect Command Sequence‚ on page 19 sections
for more information.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for the write mode. The “AC
Characteristics” section contains timing specification
tables and timing diagrams for write operations.
Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system may
check the status of the operation by reading the status
bits on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC
read specifications apply. Refer to Write Operation
Status‚ on page 23 for more information, and to each
AC Characteristics section for timing diagrams.
Standby Mode
When the system is not reading or writing to the device,
it can place the device in the standby mode. In this
mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and the
outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE# input.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the
CE# and RESET# are held at VCC ± 0.5 V. (Note that
this is a more restricted voltage range than VIH.) WP#
must also either be held at VCC ± 0.5 V or left floating.
The device enters the TTL standby mode when CE#
and RESET# pins are both held at VIH. The device requires standard access time (tCE) for read access when
the device is in either of these standby modes, before it
is ready to read data.
April 23, 2010 Am29F160D_00_D10
The device also enters the standby mode when the RESET# pin is driven low. Refer to the next section,
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin‚ on page 9.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.
In the DC Characteristics tables, ICC3 represents the
standby current specification.
Automatic Sleep Mode
The automatic sleep mode minimizes flash device
energy consumption. The device automatically enables
this mode when addresses remain stable for tACC + 30
ns. The automatic sleep mode is independent of the
CE#, WE#, and OE# control signals. Standard address
access timings provide new data when addresses are
changed. While in sleep mode, output data is latched
and always available to the system.
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When the system
drives the RESET# pin low for at least a period of tRP,
the device immediately terminates any operation in
progress, tristates all data output pins, and ignores all
read/write attempts for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. The device also resets the internal state machine to reading array data. The operation that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is ready
to accept another command sequence, to ensure data
integrity. Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET# pulse.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash
memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a “0” (busy) until the internal reset operation is complete, which requires a
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The
system can thus monitor RY/BY# to determine whether
the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is asserted
when a program or erase operation is not executing
(RY/BY# pin is “1”), the reset operation is completed
within a time of tREADY (not during Embedded Algorithms). The system can read data tRH after the RESET# pin returns to VIH.
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# parameters and timing diagram.
Output Disable Mode
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high impedance state.

Autoselect Mode
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This
mode is primarily intended for programming equipment
to automatically match a device to be programmed with
its corresponding programming algorithm. However,
the autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system
through the command register.

address bits. Refer to the corresponding Sector Address Tables. The Command Definitions table shows
the remaining address bits that are don’t care. When all
necessary bits are set as required, the programming
equipment may then read the corresponding identifier
code on DQ7–DQ0.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in the Command Definitions table. This method does not require VID. See
Command Definitions‚ on page 18 for details on using
the autoselect mode.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect
mode requires VID (11.5 V to 12.5 V) on address pin
A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in

Sector Protection/Unprotection
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hardware sector unprotection feature re-enables both program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
AMD offers the option of programming and protecting
sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device
through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an
AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected
or unprotected. See Autoselect Mode‚ on page 12 for
details.
The primary method requires VID on the RESET# pin
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2, on page 14 shows
the algorithms and Figure 20, on page 39 shows the
timing diagram. This method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle timing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected sectors must first be protected prior to the first
sector unprotect write cycle.
The alternate method intended only for programming
equipment requires VID on address pin A9 and OE#.
This method is compatible with programmer routines
written for earlier 5.0 volt-only AMD flash devices. Details on this method are provided in a supplement, publication number 22289. Contact an AMD representative
to request a copy.
Sector protection/unprotection can be implemented via
two methods.

Write Protect (WP#)
The Write Protect function provides a hardware
method of protecting the 16 Kbyte boot sector from
erasure without using VID.
START
If the system asserts VIL on the WP# pin, the device
disables erase functions for the 16 Kbyte boot sector
(SA34 for top boot device and SA0 for bottom boot device) independently of whether those sectors were
protected or unprotected using the method described
in Sector Protection/Unprotection‚ on page 12.
RESET# = VID
(Note 1)
Perform Erase or
Program Operations
If the system asserts VIH on the WP# pin, the device
reverts to whether the 16 Kbyte boot sector was previously set to be protected or unprotected using the
method described in Sector Protection/Unprotection‚
on page 12.
RESET# = VIH
Temporary Sector
Unprotect Completed
(Note 2)
Temporary Sector Unprotect
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously protected sectors to change data in-system. The
Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the RESET# pin to VID. During this mode, formerly protected
sectors can be programmed or erased by selecting the
sector addresses. However, note that the boot sector is
still protected from erasure only if WP# is asserted low.
Once VID is removed from the RESET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are protected again. Figure 2,
on page 14 shows the algorithm, and Figure 19, on
page 38 shows the timing diagrams, for this feature.
April 23, 2010 Am29F160D_00_D10
Notes:
1. All protected sectors unprotected. However, boot sector
remains protected from erasure only if WP# is low.
2. All previously protected sectors are protected once
again.

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE
(CFI)
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines device and host system software interrogation
handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified
software algorithms to be used for entire families of
devices. Software support can then be device-independent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and backward-compatible for the specified flash device families.
Flash vendors can standardize their existing interfaces
for long-term compatibility.
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the
system writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to
address 55h in word mode (or address AAh in byte
mode), any time the device is ready to read array data.
The system can read CFI information at the addresses
given in Table 5 on page 15, Table 6 on page 16,
Table 5.
Table 7 on page 16, and –Table 8 on page 17. In word
mode, the upper address bits (A7–MSB) must be all
zeros. To terminate reading CFI data, the system must
write the reset command.
The system can also write the CFI query command
when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device
enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read
CFI data at the addresses given in Table 5 on page 15,
Table 6 on page 16, Table 7 on page 16, and –Table 8
on page 17. The system must write the reset command
to return the device to the autoselect mode.

DATA SHEET
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.
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 V LKO. The system must provide the
proper signals to the control pins to prevent unintentional writes when VCC is greater than VLKO.
Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or
WE# do not initiate a write cycle.
Logical Inhibit
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# =
VIL, CE# = VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle,
CE# and WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a
logical one.
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 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.
or while in the autoselect mode. See the Reset Command‚ on page 18 section, next.
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.
Reset Command
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array
data after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,
the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The system can read array data using the standard read timings, except that if it reads at an address within erasesuspended 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‚ on page 21 for more
information on this mode.
The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes high,
18
See also Requirements for Reading Array Data‚ on
page 8 for more information. The Read Operations
table provides the read parameters, and Read Operation Timings diagram shows the timing diagram.
Writing the reset command to the device resets the device to reading array data. Address bits are don’t care
for this command.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase command sequence before
erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array
data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in a program command sequence before programming begins. This resets the device to
reading array data (also applies to programming in
Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins,
however, the device ignores reset commands until the
operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must
be written to return to reading array data (also applies
to autoselect during Erase Suspend).
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the device to reading array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).

Am29F160D_00_D10 April 23, 2010
DATA SHEET
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and devices codes,
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
The Command Definitions table shows the address
and data requirements. This method is an alternative to
that shown in the Autoselect Codes (High Voltage
Method) table, which is intended for PROM programmers and requires VID on address bit A9.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by
writing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect
command. The device then enters the autoselect
mode, and the system may read at any address any
number of times, without initiating another command
sequence.
A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h in word
mode (or 02h in byte mode) returns the device code.
A read cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the
address 02h in word mode (or 04h in byte mode) returns 01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to the Sector Address tables for valid
sector addresses. When a read occurs at an address
within the 16 Kbyte boot sector (SA34 for top boot devices and SA0 for bottom boot devices), the input on
WP# may determine what code is returned.

Sector is protected from erasure. Programing operations within sector is still permitted.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.
Word/Byte Program Command Sequence
The system may program the device by byte or word,
on depending on the state of the BYTE# pin. Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock write
cycles, followed by the program set-up command. The
program address and data are written next, which in
turn initiate the Embedded Program algorithm. The
system is not required to provide further controls or timings. The device automatically provides internally gen-
April 23, 2010 Am29F160D_00_D10
erated program pulses and verify the programmed cell
margin. The Command Definitions take shows the address and data requirements for the byte program command sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
the device then returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the program operation by using DQ7,
DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the programming operation. The program command sequence
should be reinitiated once the device resets to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.
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 DQ5 to “1”, or cause the Data#
Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was successful. However, a succeeding read shows that the
data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert a “0”
to a “1”.
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program words to the device faster than using the standard program command sequence. The unlock bypass
command sequence is initiated by first writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle containing the unlock bypass command, 20h. The device
then enters the unlock bypass mode. A two-cycle unlock bypass program command sequence is all that is
required to program in this mode. The first cycle in this
sequence contains the unlock bypass program command, A0h; the second cycle contains the program
address and data. Additional data is programmed in
the same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial
two unlock cycles required in the standard program
command sequence, resulting in faster total programming time. Table 9 on page 22 shows the requirements for the command sequence.
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock Bypass Program and Unlock Bypass Reset commands
are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system
must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset command sequence. The first cycle must contain the data
90h. The second cycle must contain the data 00h. The
device then returns to the read mode.

Program Operation
Chip Erase Command Sequence
Chip erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The chip erase
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock
cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional
unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase
command, which in turn invokes the Embedded Erase
algorithm. The device does not require the system to
preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire
memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical
erase. The system is not required to provide any controls or timings during these operations. The Command
Definitions table shows the address and data requirements for the chip erase command sequence.
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded Erase algorithm are ignored. Note that a hardware
reset during the chip erase operation immediately terminates the operation. The Chip Erase command sequence should be reinitiated once the device returns to
reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
20
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock write cycles are then followed by the
address of the sector to be erased, and the sector
erase command. The Command Definitions table
shows the address and data requirements for the sector erase command sequence.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase
time-out of 50 µs begins. During the time-out period,
additional sector addresses and sector erase commands may be written. Loading the sector erase buffer
may be done in any sequence, and the number of sectors may be from one sector to all sectors. The time between these additional cycles must be less than 50 µs,
otherwise the last address and command might not be
accepted, and erasure may begin. It is recommended
that processor interrupts be disabled during this time to
ensure all commands are accepted. The interrupts can
be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is
written. If the time between additional sector erase
commands can be assumed to be less than 50 µs, the
system need not monitor DQ3. Any command other
than Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during the
time-out period resets the device to reading array
data. The system must rewrite the command sequence
and any additional sector addresses and commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector
erase timer has timed out. (See the DQ3: Sector Erase
Timer‚ on page 25 section.) The time-out begins from
the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
Once the sector erase operation begins, only the Erase
Suspend command is valid. All other commands are ignored. Note that a hardware reset during the sector
erase operation immediately terminates the operation.

The Sector Erase command sequence should be reinitiated once the device returns to reading array data, to
ensure data integrity.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading array data and addresses are
no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or
RY/BY#. Refer to Write Operation Status‚ on page 23
for information on these status bits.
Figure 4, on page 21 illustrates the algorithm for the
erase operation. Refer to the Erase/Program Operations tables in the AC Characteristics‚ on page 31 for
parameters, and to the Sector Erase Operations Timing diagram for timing waveforms.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to interrupt a sector erase operation and then read data
from, or program data to, any sector not selected for
erasure. This command is valid only during the sector
erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out period
during the sector erase command sequence. The
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algorithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the
time-out period and suspends the erase operation. Addresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase Suspend command.
the status of the program operation using the DQ7 or
DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard program operation. See Write Operation Status‚ on page 23 for
more information.
The system may also write the autoselect command
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend
mode. The device allows reading autoselect codes
even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the
codes are not stored in the memory array. When the
device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to
the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another
valid operation. See Autoselect Command Sequence‚
on page 19 for more information.
The system must write the Erase Resume command
(address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase suspend
mode and continue the sector erase operation. Further
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another
Erase Suspend command can be written after the device resumes erasing.
START
Write Erase
Command Sequence
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a
sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum
of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation. However,
when the Erase Suspend command is written during
the sector erase time-out, the device immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase
operation.
After the erase operation is suspended, the system can
read array data from or program data to any sector not
selected for erasure. (The device “erase suspends” all
sectors selected for erasure.) Normal read and write
timings and command definitions apply. Reading at any
address within erase-suspended sectors produces status data on DQ7–DQ0. The system can use DQ7, or
DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. See Write Operation Status‚ on page 23 for information on these status
bits.
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, the system can once again read array data within
non-suspended sectors. The system can determine

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7,
and RY/BY#. Table 10 on page 26 and the following
subsections describe the functions of these bits. DQ7,
RY/BY#, and DQ6 each offer a method for determining
whether a program or erase operation is complete or in
progress. These three bits are discussed first.
Table 10 on page 26 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7. Figure 5 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.
START
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host
system whether an Embedded Algor ithm is in
progress or completed, or whether the device is in
Erase Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after the rising
edge of the final WE# pulse in the program or erase
command sequence.
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device
outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum programmed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to programming during Erase Suspend. When the
Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device
outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The system
must provide the program address to read valid status
information on DQ7. If a program address falls within a
protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 2 µs, then the device returns to reading
array data.

DQ7 = Data?
No
No
When the system detects DQ7 changes 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.
April 23, 2010 Am29F160D_00_D10
DQ5 = 1?
Yes
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling
produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase
Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7.
This is analogous to the complement/true datum output
described for the Embedded Program algorithm: the
erase function changes all the bits in a sector to “1”;
prior to this, the device outputs the “complement,” or
“0.” The system must provide an address within any of
the sectors selected for erasure to read valid status information on DQ7.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data# Polling
on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 µs, then the device returns to reading array data. If not all selected
sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algorithm
erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are protected.
Yes
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.

DATA SHEET
RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#
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.
Table 10 on page 26 shows the outputs for RY/BY#.
The timing diagrams for read, reset, program, and
erase shows the relationship of RY/BY# to other signals.
DQ6: Toggle Bit I
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded
Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete,
or whether the device entered the Erase Suspend
mode. Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is
valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the
command sequence (prior to the program or erase operation), and during the sector erase time-out.
During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm operation, successive read cycles to any address cause
DQ6 to toggle. (The system may use either OE# or
CE# to control the read cycles.) When the operation is
complete, DQ6 stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all
sectors selected for erasing are protected, DQ6 toggles for approximately 100 µs, then returns to reading
array data. If not all selected sectors are protected,
the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that
are protected.
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine whether a sector is actively erasing or is erasesuspended. When the device is actively erasing (that is,
the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), DQ6
toggles. When the device enters the Erase Suspend
mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system must
also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are erasing
or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the system can use
DQ7 (see the subsection on DQ7: Data# Polling‚ on
page 23).
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.
24
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Program algorithm is complete.
The Write Operation Status table shows the outputs for
Toggle Bit I on DQ6. Refer to Figure 6, on page 25 for
the toggle bit algorithm, and to the Toggle Bit Timings
figure in the “AC Characteristics” section for the timing
diagram. The DQ2 vs. DQ6 figure shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See
also the subsection on DQ2: Toggle Bit II‚ on page 24.
DQ2: Toggle Bit II
The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indicates whether a particular sector is actively erasing
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
or whether that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit
II is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in
the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses
within those sectors that were selected for erasure.
(The system may use either OE# or CE# to control the
read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish whether the
sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. DQ6,
by comparison, indicates whether the device is actively
erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish
which sectors are selected for erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and mode information.
Refer to Table 10 on page 26 to compare outputs for
DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6, on page 25 shows the toggle bit algorithm in
flowchart form, and the section “DQ2: Toggle Bit II” explains the algorithm. See also the “DQ6: Toggle Bit I”
subsection. Refer to the Toggle Bit Timings figure for
the toggle bit timing diagram. The DQ2 vs. DQ6 figure
shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form.
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2
Refer to Figure 6, on page 25 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 completed the program or erase operation.
The system can read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the
following read cycle.
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the
system also should note whether the value of DQ5 is
high (see the section on DQ5). If it is, the system
should then determine again whether the toggle bit is
toggling, since the toggle bit may have stopped toggling just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer
Am29F160D
Am29F160D_00_D10 April 23, 2010
DATA SHEET
toggling, the device 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 6).
mands. To ensure the command is accepted, the system software should check the status of DQ3 prior to
and following each subsequent sector erase command.
If DQ3 is high on the second status check, the last command might not have been accepted. Table 10 on
page 26 shows the outputs for DQ3.
START
Read DQ7–DQ0
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit. Under
these conditions DQ5 produces a “1.” This is a failure
condition that indicates the program or erase cycle was
not successfully completed.
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 exceeds
the timing limits, DQ5 produces a “1.”

DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
Read DQ7–DQ0
Twice
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not an
erase operation 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 is always less than 50 µs.
See also the Sector Erase Command Sequence‚ on
page 20 section.

Under both these conditions, the system must issue the
reset command to return the device to reading array
data.
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 accepted
the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is
“1”, the internally controlled erase cycle started; all further commands (other than Erase Suspend) are ignored until the erase operation is complete. If DQ3 is
“0”, the device accepts additional sector erase com-

Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25° C, 5.0 V VCC, 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally,
programming typicals assume checkerboard pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 4.5 V, 1,000,000 cycles.
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes
program faster than the maximum program times listed.
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 sequence for the program command. See Table 9
for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a guaranteed minimum erase and
program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
