GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AMD’s 5.0 Volt-only Flash Memory PC Card provides
the highest system level performance for data and file
storage solutions to the portable PC market segment
and a wide range of embedded applications. Manufactured with AMD’s Negative Gate Erase, 5.0 Volt-only
technology, the AMD 5.0 Volt-only Flash Memory
Cards are the most cost-effective and reliable approach to single-supply Flash memory cards. Data files
and application programs can be stored on the D-Series cards. This allows OEM manufacturers of portable
systems to eliminate the weight, high-power consumption and reliability issues associated with
electro-mechanical disk-based systems. The D-Series
cards also allow today’s bulky and heavy battery packs
to be reduced in weight and size. AMD’s Flash Memory
PC Cards provide the most efficient method to transfer
useful work between different hardware platforms. The
enabling technology of the D-Series cards enhances
the productivity of mobile workers.
Widespread acceptance of the D-Series cards
is assured due to their compatibility with the
68-pin PCMCIA/JEIDA international standard. AMD’s
Flash Memory Cards can be read in either a byte-wide
or word-wide mode which allows for flexible integration
into various system platforms. Compatibility is assured
at the hardware interface and software interchange
specification. The Card Information Structure (CIS) or
Metaformat, can be written by the OEM into the memory card’s attribute memory address space beginning
at address 00000H by using a format utility. The CIS
appears at the beginning of the Card’s attribute memory space and defines the low-level organization of
data on the PC Card. The D-Series cards contains a
separate EEPROM memory for the cards’ attribute
memory space. This allows all of the Flash memory to
be used for the common memory space.
Third party software solutions such as Microsoft’s and
SystemSoft’s Flash File System (FFS2), SCM’s
SCM-FTL, and Datalight’s Cardtrick enable AMD’s
Flash Memory PC Card to replicate the function
of traditional disk-based memory systems.

Differences Between the D-Series and
C-Series Cards
The additional features that are supported in the new
D-Series Cards include
The differences between the D-Series Card and the
earlier C-Series Cards are as follows:
■ The D-Series Cards support the RESET feature.
This allows you to asynchronously RESET the Card
into the read state.
■ The D-Series Cards are based on AMD’s latest 16
MBit 5.0 Volt-only device, the Am29F016C. The earlier C-Series Cards were based on the 4 MBit 5.0
Volt-only device, the Am29F040.
■ The D-Series Cards program faster than the CSeries Cards. This is due to faster byte write times
and an optimized address unlock sequence for
write operations.
■ The D-Series Cards are offered in higher densities. The D-Series Cards are available in densities
of 4 MBytes, 8 MBytes, 20 MBytes, and 32
MBytes. The earlier C-Series Cards were available in densities of 1 MByte, 2 MBytes, 4 MBytes
and 10 MBytes.
■ The D-Series Cards also provide the RY/BY functionality. This feature provides a quick way of determining if the Card is busy doing a write or erase
operation, or if it is in a position to undertake the
next operation.
■ Availability of an additional Toggle bit (D2) to determine if the Card is in the Embedded Erase or Erase
Suspend mode.
■ Programming operations can be executed in 8 µs
pulses, down from the 16 µ s on the C-Series
Cards (typical).
■ Time out from the rising edge of the WE pulse for
sector erase command reduced from 100 µs to
50 µs.
■ The D-Series Cards offers a low power standby
mode with fast recovery time to read. The typical
standby current (ICCS) is <1 µA with recovery at
standard read access time.

PIN DESCRIPTION
A0–A24
RESET
Address Inputs
These inputs are internally latched during write cycles.
All address lines should be driven.
BVD1, BVD2
Battery Voltage Detect
This input to the Card is used to reset all the Flash devices inside the Card to a read mode state. If you drive
or assert RESET high during a write or erase operation, then the state of the devices for the purpose of the
operation is undefined. In order to RESET, you need to
hold the RESET pin high for 500 ns, and it takes 20 µs
before the internal circuit is RESET. When RESET is
driven high, the data bus is in a high impedance state.
Internally pulled-up.
VCC
CD1, CD2
PC Card Power Supply
Card Detect
For device operation (5.0 V ± 5%).
When card detect 1 and 2 = ground the system detects
the card.
WE
CE1, CE2
Card Enable
This input is active low. The memory card is deselected
and power consumption is reduced to standby levels
when CE is high. CE activates the internal memory
card circuitry that controls the high and low byte control
logic of the card, input buffers segment decoders, and
associated memory devices.
D0–D15
Data Input/Output
Data inputs are internally latched on write cycles. Data
outputs during read cycles. Data pins are active high.
When the memory card is deselected or the outputs
are disabled the outputs float to tristate.
GND
Ground
NC
No Connect
Corresponding pin is not connected.
OE
Output Enable
This input is active low and enables the data buffers
through the card outputs during read cycles.
RY/BY
This signal is output from the card and indicates the
status of the operation in progress in the card. If this
signal is low, then the card is still busy with the current
operation. Otherwise, the card is ready to accept anew
operation.
REG
Attribute Memory Select
This input is active low and enables reading the CIS
from the EEPROM.
6
Write Enable
This input is active low and controls the write function
of the command register to the memory array. The
target address is latched on the falling edge of the WE
pulse and the appropriate data is latched on the rising
edge of the pulse.
WP
Write Protect
This output is active high and disables all Card write
operations (including writes to the attribute memory).
MEMORY CARD OPERATIONS
The D-Series Flash Memory Card is organized as an
array of individual devices. Each device is 2 Mbytes in
size with thirty-two 64K byte sectors. Although the address space is continuous, each physical device defines a logical address segment size.
Erase operations can be performed on two 64KByte
sectors simultaneously. Once a memory sector or
memory segment is erased any address location may
be programmed. Flash technology allows any logical
“1” data bit to be programmed to a logical “0”. The
only way to reset bits to a logical “1” is to erase the
entire memory sector of 64K bytes or memory segment of 2 Mbytes.
Erase operations are the only operations that work on
entire memory sectors or memory segments. All other
operations such as word-wide programming are not affected by the physical memory segments.
The common memory space data contents are altered
in a similar manner as writing to individual Flash memory devices. On-card address and data buffers activate
the appropriate Flash device in the memory array.
Each device internally latches address and data during
write cycles. Refer to Table 1.
Attribute memory is a separately accessed card memory space. The attribute memory space is active when
the REG pin is driven low. The Card Information Structure (CIS) describes the capabilities and specification
AmC0XXDFLKA
of a card. The CIS is stored in the attribute memory
space beginning at address 00000H. The D-Series
cards contain a separate EEPROM for the Card Information Structure. D0–D7 are active during attribute
memory accesses. D8–D15 should be ignored. Odd order bytes present invalid data. Refer to Table 2.
Table 1.
Function
Word-Wide Operations
The D-Series cards provide the flexibility to operate on
data in a byte-wide or word-wide format. In word-wide
operations the CE1 and CE2 must be low and A0 is not
used for any addressing.

AmC0XXDFLKA
Byte-Wide Operations
Byte-wide data is available on D0–D7 for read and write
operations (CE1 = low, CE2 = high). Even and odd
bytes are stored in separate memory segments (i.e.,
S0 and S1) and are accessed when A0 is low and high
respectively. The even byte is the low order byte and
the odd byte is the high order byte of a 16-bit word.
Erase operations in the byte-wide mode must account
for data multiplexing on D0–D7 by changing the state of
A0. Each memory sector or memory segment pair
must be addressed separately for erase operations.
Card Detection
Each CD (output) pin should be read by the host system to determine if the memory card is adequately
seated in the socket. CD1 and CD2 are internally tied
to ground. If both bits are not detected, the system
should indicate that the card must be reinserted.
Write Protection
The AMD Flash memory card has three types of write
protection. The PCMCIA/JEIDA socket itself provides
the first type of write protection. Power supply and control pins have specific pin lengths in order to protect the
card with proper power supply sequencing in the case
of hot insertion and removal.
A mechanical write protect switch provides a second
type of write protection. When this switch is activated,
WE is internally forced high. The Flash memory command register is disabled from accepting any write
commands.
The third type of write protection is achieved with VCC1
and VCC2 below 3.2 V VLKO. Each Flash memory device that comprises a Flash memory segment will
reset the command register to the read-only mode
when VCC is below VLKO. VLKO is the voltage below
which write operations to individual command registers are disabled.
MEMORY CARD BUS OPERATIONS
Read Enable
Two Card Enable (CE) pins are available on the memory card. Both CE pins must be active low for
word-wide read accesses. Only one CE is required for
byte-wide accesses. The CE pins control the selection
and gates power to the high and low memory segments. The Output Enable (OE) controls gating accessed data from the memory segment outputs.
The device will automatically power-up in the read/
reset state. In this case, a command sequence is not
required to read data. Standard microprocessor read
cycles will retrieve array data. This default value ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory content
occurs during the power transition. Refer to the AC
Read Characteristics and Waveforms for the specific
timing parameters.
Output Disable
Data outputs from the card are disabled when OE is at
a logic-high level. Under this condition, outputs are in
the high-impedance state.
Standby Operations
Byte-wide read accesses only require half of the read/
write output buffer (x16) to be active. In addition, only
one memory segment is active within either the high
order or low order bank. Activation of the appropriate
half of the output buffer is controlled by the combination
of both CE pins. The CE pins also control power to the
high and low-order banks of memory. Outputs of the
memory bank not selected are placed in the high impedance state. The individual memory segment is activated by the address decoders. The other memory
segments operate in standby. An active memory segment continues to draw power until completion of a
write or erase operation if the card is deselected in the
process of one of these operations.
Auto Select Operation
A host system or external card reader/writer can determine the on-card manufacturer and device I.D. codes.
Codes are available after writing the 90H command to
the command register of a memory segment per
Tables 3 and 4. Reading from address location 00000H
in any segment provides the manufacturer I.D. while
address location 00002H provides the device I.D.
To terminate the Auto Select operation, it is necessary to write the Read/Reset command sequence
into the register.
Write Operations
Write and erase operations are valid only when VCC1
and VCC2 are above 4.75 V. This activates the state machine of an addressed memory segment. The command register is a latch which saves address,
commands, and data information used by the state machine and memory array.
When Write Enable (WE) and appropriate CE(s) are at
a logic-level low, and Output Enable (OE) is at a
logic-high, the command register is enabled for write
operations. The falling edge of WE latches address information and the rising edge latches data/command
information.
Write or erase operations are performed by writing appropriate data patterns to the command register of accessed Flash memory sectors or memory segments.
The byte-wide and word-wide commands are defined
in Tables 3, 4, and 5, respectively.

FLASH MEMORY PROGRAM/ERASE
OPERATIONS
Details of AMD’s Embedded Write and
Erase Operations
Table 6.
Bus Operation
Write
When the memory sector or memory segment is automatically verified to contain an all “zero” pattern, a
self-timed chip erase-and-verify begins. The erase
and verify operations are complete when the data on
D7 (D15 on the odd byte) of the memory sector or
memory segment is “1” (see Write Operation Status
section) at which time the device returns to the Read
mode. The system is not required to provide any control or timing during these operations. A Reset command after the device has begun execution will stop
the device but the data in the operated segment will
be undefined. In that case, restart the erase on that
sector and allow it to complete.
When using the Embedded Erase algorithm, the erase
automatically terminates when adequate erase margin
has been achieved for the memory array (no erase verify command is required). The margin voltages are internally generated in the same manner as when the
standard erase verify command is used.
The Embedded Erase command sequence is a command only operation that stages the memory sector or
memory segment for automatic electrical erasure of all
bytes in the array. The automatic erase begins on the
rising edge of the WE and terminates when the data on
D7 of the memory sector or memory segment is “1”
(see Write Operation Status section) at which time the
device returns to the Read mode. Please note that for
the memory segment or memory sector erase operation, Data Polling may be performed at any address in
that segment or sector.
Figure 1 and Table 6 illustrate the Embedded Erase Algorithm, a typical command string and bus operations.
As described earlier, once the memory sector in a device or memory segment completes the Embedded
Erase operation it returns to the Read mode and addresses are no longer latched. Therefore, the device
requires that the address of the sector being erased is
supplied by the system at this particular instant of time.
Otherwise, the system will never read a “1” on D7. A
Command
Standby
Embedded Erase Algorithm
The automatic memory sector or memory segment
erase does not require the device to be entirely
pre-programmed prior to executing the Embedded
Erase command. Upon executing the Embedded Erase
command sequence, the addressed memory sector or
memory segment will automatically write and verify the
entire memory segment or memory sector for an all
“zero” data pattern. The system is not required to provide any controls or timing during these operations.

Data Polling to
verify erasure
system designer has two choices to implement the Embedded Erase algorithm:
1. The system (CPU) keeps the sector address (within
any of the sectors being erased) valid during the entire Embedded Erase operation, or
2. Once the system executes the Embedded Erase
command sequence, the CPU takes away the address from the device and becomes free to do other
tasks. In this case, the CPU is required to keep track
of the valid sector address by loading it into a temporary register. When the CPU comes back for performing Data Polling, it should reassert the same
address.
Since the Embedded Erase operation takes a significant amount of time (1 s–30 s), option 2 makes more
sense. However, the choice of these two options has
been left to the system designer.
Figure 1 and Table 6 illustrate the Embedded Erase Algorithm, a typical command string and bus operations.
Sector Erase
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. There are
two “unlock” write cycles. These are followed by writing the “set up” command. Two more “unlock” write cycles are then followed by the sector erase command.
The sector address (any address location within the
desired sector) is latched on the falling edge of WE,
while the command (data) is latched on the rising
edge of WE. A time-out of 50 µs from the rising edge
of the last sector erase command will initiate the sector erase command(s).
Multiple sectors may be erased by writing the six bus
cycle operations as described above. This sequence is
followed with writes of the sector erase command 30H
to addresses in other sectors to be erased. A time-out
of 50 µs from the rising edge of the WE pulse for the
last sector erase command will initiate the sector erase.
If another sector erase command is written within the
50 µs time-out window the timer is reset. Any command
other than sector erase within the time-out window will
reset the device to the read mode, ignoring the previous command string (refer to Write Operation Status
section for Sector Erase Timer operation). Loading the
sector erase buffer may be done in any sequence and
with anysector number.
AmC0XXDFLKA
13
Sector erase does not require the user to program the
device prior to erase. The device automatically programs all memory locations to “0” in the sector(s) to be
erased prior to electrical erase. When erasing a sector
or sectors the remaining unselected sectors are not affected. The system is not required to provide any controls or timings during these operations. A Reset
command after the device has begun execution will
stop the device but the data in the operated sector will
be undefined. In that case, restart the erase on that
sector and allow it to complete.
The automatic sector erase begins after the 50 µs time
out from the rising edge of the WE pulse for the last
sector erase command pulse and terminates when the
data on D7 is “1” (see Write Operation Status section)
at which time the device returns to read mode. Data
Polling must be performed at an address within any of
the sectors being erased.
Figure 1 illustrates the Embedded Erase Algorithm
using typical command strings and bus operations.

Write Embedded Erase
Command Sequence
(Table 3 and 4)
Addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE during
the Embedded Program command execution and
hence the system is not required to keep the addresses
stable during the entire Programming operation. However, once the device completes the Embedded Program operation, it returns to the Read mode and
addresses are no longer latched. Therefore, the device
requires that a valid address input to the device is supplied by the system at this particular instant of time.
Otherwise, the system will never read a valid data on
D7. A system designer has two choices to implement
the Embedded Programming algorithm:
1. The system (CPU) keeps the address valid during
the entire Embedded Programming operation, or
2. Once the system executes the Embedded Programming command sequence, the CPU takes away the
address from the device and becomes free to do
other tasks. In this case, the CPU is required to
keep track of the valid address by loading it into a
temporary register. When the CPU comes back for
performing Data Polling, it should reassert the same
address.
However, since the Embedded Programming operation
takes only 8 µs typically, it may be easier for the CPU
to keep the address stable during the entire Embedded
Programming operation instead of reasserting the valid
address during Data Polling. Anyway, this has been left
to the system designer’s choice to go for either operation. Any commands written to the segment during this
period will be ignored.

The Embedded Program setup is a four bus cycle operation that stages the addressed memory sector or
memory segment for automatic programming.
Once the Embedded Program setup operation is performed, the next WE pulse causes a transition to an active programming operation. Addresses are internally
latched on the falling edge of the WE pulse. Data is internally latched on the rising edge of the WE pulse. The
rising edge of WE also begins the programming operation. The system is not required to provide further control or timing. The device will automatically provide an
adequate internally generated write pulse and verify
margin. The automatic programming operation is completed when the data on D7 of the addressed memory
sector or memory segment is equivalent to data written

a busy condition during the RESET pulse. Refer to Figure 21 for a detailed timing diagram. The RY/BY pin is
pulled high in standby mode. RY/BY is best used to interrupt the CPU when an erase completes. Polling is
best for byte programming.
The Reset is needed to terminate the auto select operation. It can be used to terminate an Erase or Sector
Erase operation, but the data in the sector or segment
being erased would then be undefined.
Data Polling—D7 (D15 on Odd Byte)
The Flash Memory PC Card features Data Polling as a
method to indicate to the host system that the Embedded algorithms are either in progress or completed.
Write Operation Status
While the Embedded Programming algorithm is in operation, an attempt to read the device will produce the
complement of expected valid data on D7 of the addressed memory sector or memory segment. Upon
completion of the Embedded Program algorithm an attempt to read the device will produce valid data on D7.
The Data Polling feature is valid after the rising edge of
the fourth WE pulse of the four write pulse sequence.
RY/BY
Ready/Busy
The D-Series Card provides a RY/BY output pin as a
way to indicate to the host system that the Embedded
Algorithms are either in progress or has been completed. If the output is low, the card is busy with either
a program or erase operation. If the output is high, the
card is ready to accept any read/write or erase operation. When the RY/BY pin is low, the card will not accept
any additional program or erase commands with the
exception of the Erase Suspend command to the same
device pair, one can still write or erase to a different device pair. If the card is placed in an Erase Suspend
mode, the RY/BY output will be high.
During programming, the RY/BY pin is driven low after
the rising edge of the fourth WE pulse. During an erase
operation, the RY/BY pin is driven low after the rising
edge of the sixth WE pulse. The RY/BY pin will indicate
While the Embedded Erase algorithm is in operation,
D7 will read “0” until the erase operation is completed.
Upon completion of the erase operation, the data on D7
will read “1”.
The Data Polling feature is only active during the Embedded Programming or Erase algorithms. Please note
that the AmC0XXDFLKA data pin (D7) may change
asynchronously while Output Enable (OE) is asserted
low. This means that the device is driving status information on D7 at one instant of time and then the byte’s
valid data at the next instant of time. Depending on
AmC0XXDFLKA
15
when the system samples the D7 output, it may
read either the status or valid data. Even if the device
has completed the Embedded operation and D7 has a
valid data, the data outputs on D0–D6 may be still invalid since the switching time for data bits (D0–D7) will
not be the same. This happens since the internal delay
paths for data bits (D0–D7) within the device are different. The valid data will be provided only after a certain
time delay (<tOE). Please refer to Figure 5 for detailed
timing diagrams.
See Figures 3 and 5 for the Data Polling timing
specifications and diagrams.
Toggle Bit 1—D6 (D14 on Odd Byte)
The Flash Memory PC Card also features a “Toggle Bit”
as a method to indicate to the host system that the Embedded algorithms are either in progress or have been
completed.
While the Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is in
progress, successive attempts to read data from the
device will result in D6 toggling between one and zero.
Once the Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is
completed, D6 will stop toggling and valid data on
D0–D7 will be read on the next successive read attempt. The Toggle bit is also used for entering Erase
Suspend mode. Please refer to the section entitled
Sector Erase Suspend.
Please note that even if the device completes the Embedded algorithm operation and D6 stops toggling,
data bits D0–D7 (including D6) may not be valid during
the current bus cycle. This may happen since the internal circuitry may be switching from status mode to the
Read mode. There is a time delay associated with this
mode switching. Since this time delay is always less
than tOE (OE access time), the next successive read attempt (OE going low) will provide the valid data on D0–
D7. Also note that once the D6 bit has stopped toggling
and the output enable OE is held low thereafter (without toggling) the data bits (D0–D7) will be valid after tOE
time delay.
See Figures 4 and 6 for the Data Polling diagram and
timing specifications.
The D5 failure condition will also appear if a user tries
to program a 1 to a location that is previously programmed to 0. In this case the device locks out and
never completes the Embedded Program Algorithm.
Hence, the system never reads a valid data on D7 bit
and D6 never stops toggling. Once the device has exceeded timing limits, the D5 bit will indicate a “1.”
Please note that this is not a device failure condition
since the device was incorrectly used. If this occurs, reset the device.
Sector Erase Timer—D3
After the completion of the initial sector erase command sequence the sector erase time-out will begin.
D3 will remain low until the time-out is complete. Data
Polling and Toggle Bit 1 are valid after the initial sector
erase command sequence.
If Data Polling or the Toggle Bit 1 indicates the device
has been written with a valid erase command, D3 may
be used to determine if the sector erase timer window
is still open. If D3 is high (“1”) the internally controlled
erase cycle has begun; attempts to write subsequent
commands (other than Erase Suspend) to the device
will be ignored until the erase operation is completed
as indicated by Data Polling or Toggle Bit 1. If D3 is low
(“0”), the device will accept additional sector erase
commands. To insure the command has been accepted, the system software should check the status of D3
prior to and following each subsequent sector erase
command. If D3 were high on the second status check,
the command may not have been accepted.
Refer to Table 7: Write Operation Status.
Toggle Bit II—D2
This toggle bit, along with D6, can be used to determine whether the device is in the Embedded Erase Algorithm or in Erase Suspend.
Successive reads from the erasing sector will cause
D2 to toggle during the Embedded Erase Algorithm. If
the device is in the erase-suspended-read mode, successive reads from the erase-suspended sector will
cause D2 to toggle. When the device is in the
erase-suspended-program mode, successive reads
from the byte address of the non-erase suspended
sector will indicate a logic ‘1’ at the D2 bit.
Exceeded Timing Limits—D5
D5 will indicate if the program or erase time has exceeded the specified limits (internal pulse count). Under these conditions D5 will produce a “1”. This is a failure condition which indicates that the program or erase
cycle was not successfully completed. Data Polling is
the only operating function of the device under this condition. The CE circuit will partially power down the device under these conditions (to approximately 2 mA).
The OE and WE pins will control the output disable
functions as described in Table1.
16
D6 is different from D2 in that D6 toggles only when the
standard Program or Erase, or Erase Suspend Program operation is in progress. The behavior of these

Notes:
1. These status flags apply when outputs are read from a
sector that has been erase-suspended.
2. These status flags apply when outputs are read from the
byte address of the non-erase suspended sector.
Sector Erase Suspend
Sector Erase Suspend command allows the user to interrupt the chip and then do data reads (or program)
from a non-busy sector while it is in the middle of a Sector Erase operation (which may take up to several seconds). This command is applicable ONLY during the
Sector Erase operation and will be ignored if written
during the Chip Erase or Programming operation. The
Erase Suspend command (B0H) will be allowed only
during the Sector Erase Operation that will include the
sector erase time-out period after the Sector Erase
commands (30H). Writing this command during the
time-out will result in immediate termination of the
time-out period and suspension of the erase operation.
Any other command written during the Erase Suspend mode will be ignored except the Erase Resume
command. Writing the Erase Resume command resumes the erase operation. The addresses are
“don’t-cares” when writing the Erase Suspend or
Erase Resume command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during
the Sector Erase operation, the device will take a maximum of 15 µs to suspend the erase operation. When
the device has entered the erase-suspended mode, the
RY/BY output pin and the D7 bit will be at logic “1”, and
D6 will stop toggling. The user must use the address of
the erasing sector for reading D6 and D7 to determine
if the erase operation has been suspended. Further
writes of the Erase Suspend command are ignored.
When the erase operation has been suspended, the
device defaults to the erase-suspend-read mode.
Reading data in this mode is the same as reading
from the standard read mode except that the data
must be read from sectors that have not been
erase-suspended. Successively reading from the
erase-suspended sector while the device is in the
erase-suspend-read mode will cause D2 to toggle.
(See the section on D2).
After entering the erase-suspend-read mode, the user
can program the device by writing the appropriate command sequence for Byte Program. This program mode
is known as the erase-suspend-program mode. Again,
programming in this mode is the same as programming
in the regular Byte Program mode except that the data
must be programmed to sectors that are not
erase-suspended. Successively reading from the
erase-suspended sector while the device is in the
erase-suspend-program mode will cause D2 to toggle.
The end of the erase-suspended program operation is
detected by the RY/BY output pin, Data Polling of D7,
or by the Toggle Bit 1 (D6) which is the same as the regular Byte Program operation. Note that D7 must be
read from the byte program address while D6 can be
read from any address.
Every time a Sector Erase Suspend command followed
by an Erase Resume command is written, the internal
(pulse) counters are reset. These counters are used to
count the number of high voltage pulses the memory
cell requires to program or erase. If the count exceeds
a certain limit, then the D5 bit will be set (Exceeded
Time Limit flag). This resetting of the counters is necessary since the Erase Suspend command can potentially interrupt or disrupt the high voltage pulses.
To resume the operation of Sector Erase, the Resume
command (30H) should be written. Any further writes of
the Resume command at this point will be ignored. Another Sector Erase Suspend command can be written
after the chip has resumed erasing.
RESET
Hardware Reset
The D-Series Card may be reset by driving the
RESET pin to VIL. The RESET pin must be kept low
(VIL) for at least 500 ns. Any operation in progress will
be terminated and the internal state machine will be
reset to the read mode 20 µs after the RESET pin is
driven low. If a hardware reset occurs during a program operation, the data at that particular location will
be indeterminate.
When the RESET pin is low and the internal reset is
complete, the Card goes to standby mode and cannot
be accessed. Also, note that all the data output pins are
tri-stated for the duration of the RESET pulse. Once the
RESET pin is taken high, the Card requires 500 ns of
wake up time until outputs are valid for read access.

WORD-WIDE PROGRAMMING AND
ERASING
Word-Wide Programming
The word-wide programming sequence will be as
usual per Table 5. The Program word command is
A0A0H. Each byte is independently programmed.
For example, if the high byte of the word indicates
the successful completion of programming via one
of its write status bits such as D15, software polling
should continue to monitor the low byte for write
completion and data verification, or vice versa. During the Embedded Programming operations the dev i c e exe c u t e s p r o g r a m m i n g p u l s e s i n 8 µ s
increments. Status reads provide information on the
progress of the byte programming relative to the last
complete write pulse. Status information is automatically updated upon completion of each internal
write pulse. Status information does not change
within the 8 µs write pulse width.
Word-Wide Sector Erasing
The word-wide erasing of a memory sector pair is similar to word-wide programming. The erase word command is a 6 bus cycle command sequence per Table 5.
Each byte is independently erased and verified.
Word-wide erasure reduces total erase time when
compared to byte erasure. Each Flash memory device
in the card may erase at different rates. Therefore each
device (byte) must be verified separately.

The Embedded Algorithm operations completely automate
the parallel programming and erase procedures by internally executing the algorithmic command sequences of
AMD’s Flashrite and Flasherase algorithms. The devices
automatically provide Write Operation Status information
with standard read operations.

CARD INFORMATION STRUCTURE
The D-Series card contains a separate EEPROM
memory for the Card Information Structure (CIS).
This allows all of the Flash memory to be used for the
common memory space. Part of the common memory
space could also be used to sore the CIS.
The EEPROM used in the D-Series card is designed
to operate from a 5 V single power supply. Table 9
shows the CIS information stored in the AMD Flash
memory card.
SYSTEM DESIGN AND INTERFACE
INFORMATION
Power Up and Power Down Protection
AMD’s Flash memory devices are designed to protect
against accidental programming or erasure caused by
spurious system signals that might exist during power
transitions. The AMD PC Card will power-up into a
READ mode when VCC is greater than VLKO of 3.2 V.
Erasing of memory sectors or memory segments can
be accomplished only by writing the proper Erase command to the card along with the proper Chip Enable,
Output Enable and Write Enable control signals. Hot insertion of PC cards is not permitted by the PCMCIA
standard.
Note: Hot insertion is defined as the socket condition
where the card is inserted or removed with any or
all of the following conditions present: VCC = VCCH,
VPP =VPPH, address and/or data lines are active.
System Power Supply Decoupling
The AMD Flash memory card has a 0.1 µF decoupling
capacitor between the VCC and the GND pins. It is recommended the system side also have a 4.7 µF capacitor between the VCC and the GND pins.
