Description
The AT29C432 is a CMOS memory specifically designed for applications requiring
both a high density nonvolatile program memory and a smaller nonvolatile data memory. The AT29C432 provides this in the form of a 4 megabit Flash array integrated
with a 256K bit full featured E2PROM array on the same device. A unique feature of
this device is its concurrent read while writing capability. This provides the host system read access to the Flash program memory during the write cycle time of the
E2PROM.
The two memory arrays share all I/O lines, Address lines and OE and WE inputs.
Each memory array has its own Chip Enable input: CEF for the Flash array and CEE
for the E2PROM array.
Additionally, Software Data Protection has been independently implemented for both
arrays and is always enabled. The AT29C432 has a pinout similar to the AT29C040A
Flash memory. A system designer using a Flash memory for program storage and
another smaller, non volatile memory for data storage can easily replace both memories with the AT29C432.

Preliminary
Device Operation
Flash Memory Array
READ: The Flash memory array is read like a Static
RAM. When CEF and OE are low, and WE and CEE are
high, the data stored at the memory location determined
by the address inputs is asserted on the I/O’s.
PROGRAM: The Flash memory array is divided into 2048
sectors, each comprised of 256 bytes. For read operations these sectors appear seamless; however, for reprogramming the sector boundaries must be taken into account. The state of adresses A0 - A3 and A15 - A18 specify the individual byte address within a sector and the state
of addresses A4 - A14 define the sector to be written.
The AT29C432 employs the JEDEC standard software
data protection feature; therefore, each programming sequence must be preceded by the three byte program command sequence. Using the software data protection feature, byte loads are used to enter the 256 bytes of a sector
to be programmed. The Flash memory array can only be
programmed using the software data protection feature.
The Flash memory array is programmed on a sector basis.
If a byte of data within the sector is to be changed, data for
the entire 256-byte sector must be loaded into the device.
The Flash memory array automatically does a sector
erase prior to loading the data into the sector. An erase
command is not required.
Software data protection protects the device from inadvertent programming. A series of three program commands
to specific addresses with specific data must be presented
to the device before programming may occur. The same
three program commands must begin each program operation. All software program commands must obey the
sector program timing specifications. Power transitions
will not reset the software data protection feature, however
the software feature will guard against inadvertent program cycles during power transitions.
Any attempt to write to the device without the three-byte
command sequence will start the internal write timers. No
data will be written to the device; however, for the duration
of tWCF, a read operation will effectively be a polling operation.
After the software data protection’s three-byte command
code is given, a byte load is performed by applying a low
pulse on the WE or CEF input with CEF or WE low (respectively) and OE and CEE high. The address is latched
on the falling edge of CEF or WE, whichever occurs last.
The data is latched by the first rising edge of CEF or WE.
The 256 bytes of data must be loaded into each sector.
Any byte that is not loaded during the programming of its
sector will be indeterminate. Once the bytes of a sector
are loaded into the device, they are simultaneously programmed during the internal programming period. After
the first data byte has been loaded into the device, successive bytes are entered in the same manner. Each new
byte to be programmed must have its high to low transition
on WE (or CEF) within 150 µs of the low to high transition
of WE (or CEF) of the preceding byte. If a high to low
transition is not detected within 150 µs of the last low to

Device Operation (Continued)
high transition, the load period will end and the internal
programming period will start. The sector address must
be valid during each high to low transition of WE (or CEF).
The bytes may be loaded in any order; sequential loading
is not required. Once a programming operation has been
initiated, and for the duration of tWCF, a read operation will
effectively be a data polling operation.
HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION: Hardware features
protect against inadvertent programs to the Flash memory
array in the following ways: (a) VCC sense—if VCC is below 3.8V (typical), the program function is inhibited. (b)
VCC power on delay—once VCC has reached the VCC
sense level, the device will automatically time out 10 ms
(typical) before programming. (c) Program inhibit—holding any one of OE low, CEF high or WE high inhibits program cycles. (d) Noise filter—pulses of less than 15 ns
(typical) on the WE or CE inputs will not initiate a program
cycle.
DATA POLLING: A maximum amount of time for program and write operations is specified; the actual time is
frequently faster than the specification. In order to take advantage of the faster typical times, the Flash memory array features DATA polling to indicate the end of a program
cycle. During a program cycle an attempted read of the
last byte loaded will result in the complement of the loaded
data on I/O7. Once the program cycle has been completed, true data is valid on all outputs and the next cycle
may begin. DATA polling may begin at any time during the
program cycle.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: The product identification
mode identifies the device and manufacturer as Atmel. It
may be accessed by hardware or software operation. The
hardware operation mode can be used by an external programmer to identify the correct programming algorithm for
the Atmel product. In addition, users may wish to use the
software product identification mode to identify the part
(i.e. using the device code), and have the system software
use the appropriate sector size for program operations.
For details, see Operating Modes (for hardware operation)
or Software Product Identification. The manufacturer and
device code is the same for both modes.
E2PROM Memory Array
READ: The E2PROM memory array is read like a Static
RAM. When CEE and OE are low and WE and CEF are
high, the data stored at the memory location determined
by the address inputs is asserted on the I/O’s.
command sequence. This sequence should then immediately be followed by one to sixteen bytes of data. After the
last byte has been written, the AT29C432 will automatically time itself to completion of the internal write cycle.
The write cycle is initiated by both WE and CEE going low;
the address is latched by the falling edge of WE or CEE
(whichever occurs last) and the data is latched by the rising edge of WE or CEE (whichever occurs first). All write
operations (byte or page) must conform to the page write
limits as shown in the timing diagram for E2PROM write
operations. All bytes during a page write operation must
reside on the same page as defined by the state of the A4
- A14 inputs. For each WE high to low transition during
the page write operation, A4 - A14 must be the same.
The A0 - A3 inputs are used to specify which bytes within
the page are to be written. The bytes may be loaded in
any order and may be altered within the same load period.
Only bytes which are specified for writing will be written;
unnecessary cycling of other bytes within the page does
not occur.
During the internal write operation (tWCE) attempts to read
the E2PROM will be equivalent to DATA polling operations; however, attempts to read the Flash array will return
valid data.
HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION: Hardware features
protect against inadvertent programs to the E2PROM
memory array in the following ways: (a) VCC sense—if
VCC is below 3.8V (typical), the program function is inhibited. (b) VCC power on delay—once VCC has reached the
VCC sense level, the device will automatically time out 10
ms (typical) before programming. (c) Program inhibit—
holding any one of OE low, CEE high or WE high inhibits
program cycles. (d) Noise filter—pulses of less than 15 ns
(typical) on the WE or CE inputs will not initiate a program
cycle.
DATA POLLING: A maximum amount of time for program and write operations is specified; the actual time is
frequently faster than the specification. In order to take
advantage of the faster typical times, the E2PROM memory array features DATA polling to indicate the end of a
program cycle. During a program cycle an attempted read
of the last byte loaded will result in the complement of the
loaded data on I/O7. Once the program cycle has been
completed, true data is valid on all outputs and the next
cycle may begin. DATA polling may begin at any time during the program cycle.
(continued)
WRITE: The E2PROM memory array may be written in
either a single byte write or page write operation. Because software data protection is always enabled both
write operations must be preceded by the three byte write

Memory Arrays
Concurrent Read While Write
Valid Concurrent Read
The architecture of the AT29C432 provides concurrent
read while write capability. With other programmable nonvolatile memories internal high voltage operations prevent
the reading of data while a write operation is in process.
However, the AT29C432 is partitioned in a manner to allow read operations from the Flash memory array during a
write operation within the E2PROM memory array.
Reads from the Flash are allowed throughout the
E2PROM write cycle time (tWCE). The E2PROM memory
array must be deselected (CEE HIGH).
Conceptually the device was designed assuming the
Flash memory array would be utilized for infrequently updated program storage and the E2PROM memory array
would be used for frequently updated data storage. This
simple concept eliminates complicated software and hardware schemes using multiple blocks of memory just to
hold duplicate down-load routines.
Reads from the Flash are allowed during tWPH o f a
E2PROM write so long as tBLC for the E2PROM write is not
violated. The E2PROM memory array must be deselected
(CEE HIGH).
Invalid Concurrent Reads
Attempts to read the Flash memory array during tWCF will
effectively be polling operations.
Attempts to access the Flash memory array while CEE is
low will be ignored. That is, CEE low and CEF low at the
same time is not allowed. Attempts to read the E2PROM
memory array while a write to the Flash memory array is
in progress is not allowed.

Concurrent Read While Write
Notes: 1. The Flash array may be read in between individual
byte loads to the E2PROM array as shown above.
This diagram only illustrates one read access between byte loads, but the host processor may continue reading the Flash array so long as tBLC is not
violated. This effectively allows the host the opportunity to respond to system interrupts while operating
out of the Flash program memory, even in the middle of performing an E2PROM data update.
2. Flash read operations are also valid throughout the
E2PROM’s internal write cycle defined by tWCE.
3. Having both CEF and CEE active simultaneously is an
illegal state.
