Description  
The AT45DB321D is a 2.5V or 2.7V, serial interface, sequential access flash memory ideally suited for a wide variety of digital  
voice-, image-, program code-, and data-storage applications. The AT45DB321D supports the RapidS serial interface for  
applications requiring very high speed operations. The RapidS serial interface is SPI compatible for frequencies up to 66MHz.  
The 34,603,008-bits of memory are organized as 8,192 pages of 512 bytes or 528 bytes each. In addition to the main memory,  
the AT45DB321D also contains two SRAM buffers of 512/528 bytes each. These buffers allow the receiving of data while a  
page in the main memory is being reprogrammed, as well as the writing of a continuous data stream. EEPROM (electrically  
erasable and programmable read-only memory) emulation (bit or byte alterability) is easily handled with a self-contained,  
three-step read-modify-write operation. Unlike conventional flash memories, which are accessed randomly with multiple  
address lines and a parallel interface, DataFlash® devices use a RapidS serial interface to sequentially access its data. The  
simple sequential access dramatically reduces active pin count, facilitates hardware layout, increases system reliability,  
minimizes switching noise, and reduces package size. The device is optimized for use in many commercial and industrial  
applications where high density, low pin count, low voltage and low power are essential.  
To allow for simple, in-system reprogrammability, the AT45DB321D does not require high input voltages for programming. The  
device operates from a single power supply, 2.7V to 3.6V, for both the program and read operations. The AT45DB321D is  
enabled through the chip select pin (CS) and accessed via a three-wire interface consisting of the serial input (SI), serial output  
(SO), and serial clock (SCK) lines.  
All programming and erase cycles are self timed.

Table 1-1. Pin Configurations  
Symbol  
Asserted  
State  
Name and Function  
Type  
Chip Select: Asserting the CS pin selects the device. When the CS pin is deasserted, the  
device will be deselected and normally be placed in the standby mode (not deep power-  
down mode), and the output pin (SO) will be in a high-impedance state. When the device  
is deselected, data will not be accepted on the input pin (SI).  
CS  
Low  
Input  
A high-to-low transition on the CS pin is required to start an operation, and a low-to-high  
transition is required to end an operation. When ending an internally self-timed operation  
such as a program or erase cycle, the device will not enter the standby mode until the  
completion of the operation.  
Serial Clock: This pin is used to provide a clock to the device, and is used to control the  
flow of data to and from the device. Command, address, and input data present on the SI  
pin are always latched on the rising edge of SCK, while output data on the SO pin are  
always clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.  
SCK  
SI  
Input  
Input  
Serial Input: The SI pin is used to shift data into the device. The SI pin is used for all data  
input, including command and address sequences. Data on the SI pin are always latched  
on the rising edge of SCK.  
Serial Output: The SO pin is used to shift data out from the device. Data on the SO pin  
are always clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.  
SO  
Output  
Input  
Write Protect: When the WP pin is asserted, all sectors specified for protection by the  
sector protection register will be protected against program and erase operations,  
regardless of whether the enable sector protection command has been issued or not. The  
WP pin functions independently of the software controlled protection method. After the  
WP pin goes low, the content of the sector protection register cannot be modified.  
WP  
Low  
If a program or erase command is issued to the device while the WP pin is asserted, the  
device will simply ignore the command and perform no operation. The device will return to  
the idle state once the CS pin has been deasserted. The enable sector protection  
command and sector lockdown command, however, will be recognized by the device  
when the WP pin is asserted.  
The WP pin is internally pulled high, and may be left floating if hardware controlled  
protection will not be used. However, it is recommended that the WP pin also be  
externally connected to VCC whenever possible.  
Reset: A low state on the reset pin (RESET) will terminate the operation in progress and  
reset the internal state machine to an idle state. The device will remain in the reset  
condition as long as a low level is present on the RESET pin. Normal operation can  
resume once the RESET pin is brought back to a high level.  
RESET  
Low  
Input  
The device incorporates an internal power-on reset circuit, and so there are no restrictions  
on the RESET pin during power-on sequences. If this pin and feature are not utilized, it is  
recommended that the RESET pin be driven high externally.  
Ready/Busy: This open drain output pin will be driven low when the device is busy in an  
internally self-timed operation. This pin, which is normally in a high state (through  
an external pull-up resistor), will be pulled low during programming/erase operations,  
compare operations, and page-to-buffer transfers.  
RDY/BUSY  
Output  
The busy status indicates that the flash memory array and one of the buffers cannot be  
accessed; read and write operations to the other buffer can still be performed.  
Device Power Supply: The VCC pin is used to supply the source voltage to the device.  
VCC  
Power  
Operations at invalid VCC voltages may produce spurious results and should not be  
attempted.  
Ground: The ground reference for the power supply. GND should be connected to the

system ground.

Memory Array  
To provide optimal flexibility, the AT45DB321D memory array is divided into three levels of granularity comprising sectors,  
blocks, and pages. The “Memory Architecture Diagram” illustrates the breakdown of each level, and details the number of  
pages per sector and block. All program operations to the DataFlash device occur on a page-by-page basis. The erase  
operations can be performed at the chip, sector, block, or page level.

Device Operation  
The device operation is controlled by instructions from the host processor. The list of instructions and their associated opcodes  
are contained in Table 13-1 on page 24 through Table 13-7 on page 27. A valid instruction starts with the falling edge of CS,  
followed by the appropriate 8-bit opcode and the desired buffer or main memory address location. While the CS pin is low,  
toggling the SCK pin controls the loading of the opcode and the desired buffer or main memory address location through the SI  
(serial input) pin. All instructions, addresses, and data are transferred with the most-significant bit (msb) first.  
Buffer addressing for the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes) is referenced in the datasheet using the terminology BFA9  
- BFA0 to denote the ten address bits required to designate a byte address within a buffer. Main memory addressing is  
referenced using the terminology PA12 - PA0 and BA9 - BA0, where PA12 - PA0 denotes the 13 address bits required to  
designate a page address and BA9 - BA0 denotes the ten address bits required to designate a byte address within the page.  
For a “power of two” binary page size (512 bytes), the buffer addressing is referenced in the datasheet using the conventional  
terminology BFA8 - BFA0 to denote the nine address bits required to designate a byte address within a buffer. Main memory  
addressing is referenced using the terminology A21 - A0, where A21 - A9 denotes the 13 address bits required to designate a  
page address and A8 - A0 denotes the nine address bits required to designate a byte address within a page.  
4.  
Read Commands  
By specifying the appropriate opcode, data can be read from the main memory or from either one of the two SRAM data buffers.  
The DataFlash device supports RapidS protocols for Mode 0 and Mode 3. Please refer to Section 22., Detailed Bit-level Read  
Waveform – RapidS Serial Interface Mode 0/Mode 3 diagrams in this datasheet for details on the clock cycle sequences for  
each mode.  
4.1  
Continuous Array Read (Legacy Command: E8H): Up to 66MHz  
By supplying an initial starting address for the main memory array, the continuous array read command can be utilized to  
sequentially read a continuous stream of data from the device by simply providing a clock signal; no additional addressing  
information or control signals need to be provided. The DataFlash device incorporates an internal address counter that will  
automatically increment on every clock cycle, allowing one continuous read operation without the need of additional address  
sequences. To perform a continuous read from the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), an opcode of E8H must be  
clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes (which comprise the 24-bit page and byte address sequence) and four  
“don’t care” bytes. The first 13 bits (PA12 - PA0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array  
to read, and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the page. To  
perform a continuous read from the binary page size (512-bytes), the opcode (E8H) must be clocked into the device followed by  
three address bytes and four don’t care bytes. The first 13 bits (A21 - A9) of the 22-bit sequence specify which page of the main  
memory array to read, and the last 9 bits (A8 - A0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the  
page. The don’t care bytes that follow the address bytes are needed to initialize the read operation. Following the don’t care  
bytes, additional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO (serial output) pin.  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the don’t care bytes, and the reading of data.  
When the end of a page in main memory is reached during a continuous array read, the device will continue reading at the  
beginning of the next page, with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from the end of one  
page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the device will continue  
reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no delays will be incurred  
when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.  
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum SCK  
frequency allowable for the continuous array read is defined by the fCAR1 specification. The continuous array read bypasses  
both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
4.2  
Continuous Array Read (High Frequency Mode: 0BH): Up to 66MHz  
This command can be used with the serial interface to read the main memory array sequentially in high-speed mode for any  
clock frequency up to the maximum specified by fCAR1. To perform a continuous read array with the page size set to 528 bytes,  
CS must first be asserted, and then a 0BH opcode must be clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes and a  
dummy byte. The first 13 bits (PA12 - PA0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to  
read, and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the page. To  
perform a continuous read with the page size set to 512 bytes, the 0BH opcode must be clocked into the device, followed by  
three address bytes (A21 - A0) and a dummy byte. Following the dummy byte, additional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result  
in data being output on the SO (serial output) pin.  
AT45DB321D [DATASHEET]

3597R–DFLASH–11/2012  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, and the reading of data. When the end of a  
page in the main memory is reached during a continuous array read, the device will continue reading at the beginning of the  
next page, with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from the end of one page to the  
beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the device will continue reading back at  
the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no delays will be incurred when wrapping  
around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array. A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read  
operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum SCK frequency allowable for the continuous array read is defined by  
the fCAR1 specification. The continuous array read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
4.3  
Continuous Array Read (Low Frequency Mode: 03H): Up to 33MHz  
This command can be used with the serial interface to read the main memory array sequentially without a dummy byte up to the  
maximum frequency specified by fCAR2. To perform a continuous read array with the page size set to 528 bytes, the CS must  
first be asserted, and then a 03H opcode must be clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes (which comprise the  
24-bit page and byte address sequence). The first 13 bits (PA12 - PA0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify which page of  
the main memory array to read, and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify the starting byte  
address within the page. To perform a continuous read with the page size set to 512 bytes, the 03H opcode must be clocked  
into the device, followed by three address bytes (A21 - A0). Following the address bytes, additional clock pulses on the SCK pin  
will result in data being output on the SO (serial output) pin.  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, and the reading of data. When the end of a  
page in the main memory is reached during a continuous array read, the device will continue reading at the beginning of the  
next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from the end of one page to the beginning  
of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the device will continue reading back at the  
beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no delays will be incurred when wrapping around  
from the end of the array to the beginning of the array. A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation  
and tri-state the output pin (SO). The continuous array read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers  
unchanged.  
4.4  
Main Memory Page Read  
A main memory page read allows the user to read data directly from any one of the 8,192 pages in the main memory, bypassing  
both of the data buffers and leaving the contents of the buffers unchanged. To start a page read from the standard DataFlash  
page size (528 bytes), an opcode of D2H must be clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes (which comprise the  
24-bit page and byte address sequence) and four don’t care bytes. The first 13 bits (PA12 - PA0) of the 23-bit address  
sequence specify the page in main memory to be read, and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify  
the starting byte address within that page. To start a page read from the binary page size (512 bytes), the D2H opcode must be  
clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes and four don’t care bytes. The first 13 bits (A21 - A9) of the 22-bit  
sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read, and the last 9 bits (A8 - A0) of the 22-bit address sequence  
specify the starting byte address within the page. The don’t care bytes that follow the address bytes are sent to initialize the  
read operation. Following the don’t care bytes, additional pulses on SCK result in data being output on the SO (serial output)  
pin. The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the don’t care bytes, and the reading of  
data. When the end of a page in main memory is reached, the device will continue reading back at the beginning of the same  
page. A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum  
SCK frequency allowable for the main memory page read is defined by the fSCK specification. The main memory page read  
bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
4.5  
Buffer Read  
The SRAM data buffers can be accessed independently of the main memory array, and utilizing the buffer read command  
allows data to be sequentially read directly from the buffers. Four opcodes, D4H or D1H for buffer 1 and D6H or D3H for buffer  
2, can be used for the buffer read command. The use of each opcode depends on the maximum SCK frequency that will be  
used to read data from the buffer. The D4H and D6H opcodes can be used at any SCK frequency, up to the maximum specified  
by fCAR1. The D1H and D3H opcodes can be used for lower frequency read operations, up to the maximum specified by fCAR2  
.
To perform a buffer read from the standard DataFlash buffer (528 bytes), the opcode must be clocked into the device, followed  
by three address bytes comprised of 14 don’t care bits and 10 buffer address bits (BFA9 - BFA0). To perform a buffer read from  
the binary buffer (512 bytes), the opcode must be clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes comprised of 15  
don’t care bits and 9 buffer address bits (BFA8 - BFA0). Following the address bytes, one don’t care byte must be clocked in to  
initialize the read operation. The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the don’t care  
byte, and the reading of data. When the end of a buffer is reached, the device will continue reading back at the beginning of the  
buffer. A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO).

Program and Erase Commands  
5.1  
Buffer Write  
Data can be clocked in from the input pin (SI) into either buffer 1 or buffer 2. To load data into the standard DataFlash buffer  
(528 bytes), a 1-byte opcode, 84H for buffer 1 or 87H for buffer 2, must be clocked into the device, followed by three address  
bytes comprised of 14 don’t care bits and 10 buffer address bits (BFA9 - BFA0). The 10 buffer address bits specify the first byte  
in the buffer to be written. To load data into the binary buffers (512 bytes each), a 1-byte 84H opcode for buffer 1 or 87H opcode  
for buffer 2 must be clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 don’t care bits and 9 buffer  
address bits (BFA8 - BFA0). The nine buffer address bits specify the first byte in the buffer to be written. After the last address  
byte has been clocked into the device, data can then be clocked in on subsequent clock cycles. If the end of the data buffer is  
reached, the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. Data will continue to be loaded into the buffer until a  
low-to-high transition is detected on the CS pin.  
5.2  
Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-in Erase  
Data written into either buffer 1 or buffer 2 can be programmed into the main memory. A 1-byte opcode, 83H for buffer 1 or 86H  
for buffer 2, must be clocked into the device. For the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), the opcode must be followed by  
three address bytes consist of 1 don’t care bit, 13 page address bits (PA12 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to  
be written, and 10 don’t care bits. To perform a buffer to main memory page program with built-in erase for the binary page size  
(512 bytes), the 83H opcode for buffer 1 or 86H opcode for buffer 2 must be clocked into the device, followed by three address  
bytes consisting of 2 don’t care bits, 13 page address bits (A21 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and  
9 don’t care bits. When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the part will first erase the selected page in main memory  
(the erased state is a logic one) and then program the data stored in the buffer into the specified page in main memory. The  
erase and the programming of the page are internally self-timed, and should take place in a maximum time of tEP. During this  
time, the status register and the RDY/BUSY pin will indicate that the part is busy.  
5.3  
Buffer to Main Memory Page Program without Built-in Erase  
A previously-erased page within main memory can be programmed with the contents of either buffer 1 or buffer 2. A one-byte  
opcode, 88H for buffer 1 or 89H for buffer 2, must be clocked into the device. For the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes),  
the opcode must be followed by three address bytes that consist of 1 don’t care bit, 13 page address bits (PA12 - PA0) that  
specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 10 don’t care bits. To perform a buffer to main memory page program  
without built-in erase for the binary page size (512 bytes), the 88H opcode for buffer 1 or 89H opcode for buffer 2 must be  
clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes consisting of 2 don’t care bits, 13 page address bits (A21 - A9) that  
specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 don’t care bits. When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the  
part will program the data stored in the buffer into the specified page in the main memory. It is necessary that the page in main  
memory being programmed has been previously erased using one of the erase commands (page erase or block erase). The  
programming of the page is internally self-timed, and should take place in a maximum time of tP. During this time, the status  
register and the RDY/BUSY pin will indicate that the part is busy.  
5.4  
Page Erase  
The page erase command can be used to individually erase any page in the main memory array, allowing the buffer to main  
memory page program to be utilized at a later time. To perform a page erase in the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes),  
an opcode of 81H must be loaded into the device, followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 don’t care bit, 13 page  
address bits (PA12 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be erased, and 10 don’t care bits. To perform a page  
erase in the binary page size (512 bytes), the 81H opcode must be loaded into the device, followed by three address bytes  
consisting of 2 don’t care bits, 13 page address bits (A21 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory to be erased, and 9  
don’t care bits. When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the part will erase the selected page (the erased state is a

status register and the RDY/BUSY pin will indicate that the part is busy.

Block Erase  
A block of eight pages can be erased at one time. This command is useful when large amounts of data have to be written into  
the device. This will avoid using multiple page erase commands. To perform a block erase for the standard DataFlash page size  
(528-bytes), an opcode of 50H must be loaded into the device, followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 don’t care bit,  
10 page address bits (PA12-PA3), and 13 don’t care bits. The 10 page address bits are used to specify which block of eight  
pages is to be erased. To perform a block erase for the binary page size (512 bytes), the 50H opcode must be loaded into the  
device, followed by three address bytes consisting of 2 don’t care bits, 10 page address bits (A21 - A12), and 12 don’t care bits.  
The 10 page address bits are used to specify which block of eight pages is to be erased. When a low-to-high transition occurs  
on the CS pin, the part will erase the selected block of eight pages. The erase operation is internally self-timed, and should take  
place in a maximum time of tBE. During this time, the status register and the RDY/BUSY pin will indicate that the part is busy.

Sector Erase  
The sector erase command can be used to individually erase any sector in the main memory. There are 64 sectors, and only  
one sector can be erased at a time. To perform a sector 0a or sector 0b erase for the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes),  
an opcode of 7CH must be loaded into the device, followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 don’t care bit, 10 page  
address bits (PA12 - PA3), and 13 don’t care bits. To perform a sector 1-63 erase, the 7CH opcode must be loaded into the  
device, followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 don’t care bit, 6 page address bits (PA12 - PA7), and 17 don’t care bits.  
To perform a sector 0a or sector 0b erase for the binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode of 7CH must be loaded into the  
device, followed by three address bytes comprised of 2 don’t care bits, 10 page address bits (A21 - A12), and 12 don’t care bits.  
To perform a sector 1-63 erase, the 7CH opcode must be loaded into the device, followed by three address bytes comprised of  
2 don’t care bits, 6 page address bits (A21 - A16), and 16 don’t care bits. The page address bits are used to specify any valid  
address location within the sector to be erased. When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the part will erase the  
selected sector. The erase operation is internally self-timed, and should take place in a maximum time of tSE. During this time,  
the status register and the RDY/BUSY pin will indicate that the part is busy.

Chip Erase(1)  
The entire main memory can be erased at one time by using the chip erase command.  
To execute the chip erase command, a four-byte command sequence, C7H, 94H, 80H, and 9AH, must be clocked into the  
device. Since the entire memory array is to be erased, no address bytes need to be clocked into the device, and any data  
clocked in after the opcode will be ignored. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin can be  
deasserted to start the erase process. The erase operation is internally self-timed, and should take place in a time of tCE. During  
this time, the status register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The chip erase command will not affect sectors that are protected or locked down; the contents of those sectors will remain  
unchanged. Only those sectors that are not protected or locked down will be erased.  
Note:  
1. Refer to the errata regarding chip erase on page 51.  
The WP pin can be asserted while the device is erasing, but protection will not be activated until the internal erase cycle  
completes.

Main Memory Page Program through Buffer  
This operation is a combination of the buffer write and buffer to main memory page program with built-in erase operations. Data  
are first clocked into buffer 1 or buffer 2 from the input pin (SI), and then programmed into a specified page in the main memory.  
To perform a main memory page program through buffer for the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), a one-byte opcode,  
82H for buffer 1 or 85H for buffer 2, must first be clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes. The address bytes  
are comprised of 1 don’t care bit, 13 page address bits, (PA12 - PA0) that select the page in the main memory where data is to  
be written, and 10 buffer address bits (BFA9 - BFA0) that select the first byte in the buffer to be written. To perform a main  
memory page program through buffer for the binary page size (512 bytes), the 82H opcode for buffer 1 or 85H opcode for buffer  
2 must be clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes consisting of 2 don’t care bits, 13 page address bits (A21 -  
A9) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 buffer address bits (BFA8 - BFA0) that select the first byte in  
the buffer to be written. After all address bytes are clocked in, the part will take data from the input pins and store them in the  
specified data buffer. If the end of the buffer is reached, the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. When  
there is a low-to-high transition on the CS pin, the part will first erase the selected page in main memory to all ones, and then  
program the data stored in the buffer into that memory page. Both the erase and the programming of the page are internally  
self-timed, and should take place in a maximum time of tEP. During this time, the status register and the RDY/BUSY pin will  
indicate that the part is busy.  
6.  
Sector Protection  
Two protection methods, hardware and software controlled, are provided for protection against inadvertent or erroneous  
program and erase cycles. The software controlled method relies on the use of software commands to enable and disable  
sector protection, while the hardware controlled method employs the use of the write protect (WP) pin. The selection of which  
sectors are to be protected or unprotected against program and erase operations is specified in the nonvolatile sector protection  
register. The status of whether or not sector protection has been enabled or disabled by either the software or the hardware  
controlled methods can be determined by checking the status register.  
6.1  
Software Sector Protection  
6.1.1 Enable Sector Protection Command  
Sectors specified for protection in the sector protection register can be protected from program and erase operations by issuing  
the enable sector protection command. To enable sector protection using the software controlled method, the CS pin must first  
be asserted, as it would be with any other command. Once the CS pin has been asserted, the appropriate four-byte command  
sequence must be clocked in via the input pin (SI). After the last bit of the command sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin  
must be deasserted, after which the sector protection will be enabled.

To disable sector protection using the software controlled method, the CS pin must first be asserted, as it would be with any  
other command. Once the CS pin has been asserted, the appropriate four-byte sequence for the disable sector protection  
command must be clocked in via the input pin (SI). After the last bit of the command sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin  
must be deasserted, after which the sector protection will be disabled. The WP pin must be in the deasserted state; otherwise,  
the disable sector protection command will be ignored.

6.1.3 Various Aspects About Software Controlled Protection  
Software controlled protection is useful in applications in which the WP pin is not or cannot be controlled by a host processor. In  
such instances, the WP pin may be left floating (the WP pin is internally pulled high), and sector protection can be controlled  
using the enable sector protection and disable sector protection commands.  
If the device is power cycled, then the software controlled protection will be disabled. Once the device is powered up, the enable  
sector protection command should be reissued if sector protection is desired and if the WP pin is not used.  
7.  
Hardware Controlled Protection  
Sectors specified in the sector protection register for protection, and the sector protection register itself, can be protected from  
program and erase operations by asserting the WP pin and keeping the pin in its asserted state. The sector protection register  
and any sector specified for protection cannot be erased or reprogrammed as long as the WP pin is asserted. In order to modify  
the sector protection register, the WP pin must be deasserted. If the WP pin is permanently connected to GND, then the content  
of the sector protection register cannot be changed. If the WP pin is deasserted or permanently connected to VCC, then the  
content of the sector protection register can be modified.  
The WP pin will override the software controlled protection method, but only for protecting the sectors. For example, if the  
sectors were not previously protected by the enable sector protection command, then simply asserting the WP pin would enable  
sector protection within the maximum specified tWPE time. However, when the WP pin is deasserted, sector protection would no  
longer be enabled (after the maximum specified tWPD time) as long as the enable sector protection command was not issued  
while the WP pin was asserted. If the enable sector protection command was issued before or while the WP pin was asserted,  
then simply deasserting the WP pin would not disable sector protection. In this case, the disable sector protection command  
would need to be issued while the WP pin is deasserted to disable sector protection. The disable sector protection command is  
also ignored whenever the WP pin is asserted.  
A noise filter is incorporated to help protect against spurious noise that may inadvertently assert or deassert the WP pin.  
The table below details the sector protection status for various scenarios of the WP pin, the enable sector protection command,  
and the disable sector protection command.

Sector Protection Register  
The nonvolatile sector protection register specifies which sectors are to be protected or unprotected with either the software or  
hardware controlled protection method. The sector protection register contains 64 bytes of data, in which byte locations 0  
through 63 contain values that specify whether sectors 0 through 63 will be protected or unprotected. The sector protection  
register is user modifiable, and must first be erased before it can be reprogrammed. Table 7-3 illustrates the format of the sector  
protection register.

7.1.1 Erase Sector Protection Register Command  
In order to modify and change the value of the sector protection register, it must first be erased using the erase sector protection  
register command.  
To erase the sector protection register, the CS pin must first be asserted, as it would be with any other command. Once the CS  
pin has been asserted, the appropriate four-byte opcode sequence must be clocked into the device via the SI pin. The four-byte  
opcode sequence must start with 3DH, and be followed by 2AH, 7FH, and CFH. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has  
been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed erase cycle. The erasing of the sector  
protection register should take place in a maximum time of tPE, during which time the status register will indicate that the device  
is busy. If the device is powered down before the completion of the erase cycle, then the contents of the sector protection  
register cannot be guaranteed.  
AT45DB321D [DATASHEET]  
12  
3597R–DFLASH–11/2012  
The sector protection register can be erased with sector protection enabled or disabled. Since the erased state (FFH) of each  
byte in the sector protection register is used to indicate that a sector is specified for protection, leaving sector protection enabled  
during the erasing of the register allows the protection scheme to be more effective in the prevention of accidental programming  
or erasing of the device. If for some reason an erroneous program or erase command is sent to the device immediately after  
erasing the sector protection register and before the register can be reprogrammed, then the erroneous program or erase  
command will not be processed because all sectors will be protected.

7.1.2 Program Sector Protection Register Command  
Once the sector protection register has been erased, it can be reprogrammed using the program sector protection register  
command.  
To program the sector protection register, the CS pin must first be asserted, and then the appropriate four-byte opcode  
sequence must be clocked into the device via the SI pin. The four-byte opcode sequence must start with 3DH, and be followed  
by 2AH, 7FH, and FCH. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked into the device, the data for the contents of  
the sector protection register must be clocked in. As described in Section 7.1, the sector protection register contains 64 bytes of  
data, and so 64 bytes must be clocked into the device. The first byte of data corresponds to sector 0, the second byte  
corresponds to sector 1, and so on, with the last byte of data corresponding to sector 63.  
After the last data byte has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed program cycle.  
The programming of the sector protection register should take place in a maximum time of tP, during which the status register  
will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is powered down during the program cycle, the contents of the sector  
protection register cannot be guaranteed.  
If the proper number of data bytes is not clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, then the protection status of the sectors  
corresponding to the bytes not clocked in can not be guaranteed. For example, if only the first two bytes are clocked in instead  
of the complete 62 bytes, then the protection status of the last 62 sectors cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, if more than 64  
bytes of data are clocked into the device, then the data will wrap back around to the beginning of the register. For instance, if 65  
bytes of data are clocked in, then the 65th byte will be stored at byte location 0 of the sector protection register.  
If a value other than 00H or FFH is clocked into a byte location of the sector protection register, then the protection status of the  
sector corresponding to that byte location cannot be guaranteed. For example, if a value of 17H is clocked into byte location 2 of  
the sector protection register, then the protection status of sector 2 cannot be guaranteed.  
The sector protection register can be reprogrammed while sector protection is enabled or disabled. Being able to reprogram the  
sector protection register with sector protection enabled allows the user to temporarily disable the sector protection of an  
individual sector rather than disabling sector protection completely.  
The program sector protection register command utilizes the internal SRAM buffer 1 for processing. Therefore, the contents of  
buffer 1 will be altered from its previous state when this command is issued.

7.1.3 Read Sector Protection Register Command  
To read the sector protection register, the CS pin must first be asserted. Once the CS pin has been asserted, an opcode of 32H  
and three dummy bytes must be clocked in via the SI pin. After the last bit of the opcode and dummy bytes has been clocked in,  
any additional clock pulses on the SCK pins will result in data for the content of the sector protection register being output on the  
SO pin. The first byte corresponds to sector 0 (0a, 0b), the second byte corresponds to sector 1, and the last byte (byte 64)  
corresponds to sector 63. Once the last byte of the sector protection register has been clocked out, any additional clock pulses  
will result in undefined data being output on the SO pin. The CS pin must be deasserted to terminate the read sector protection  
register operation and put the output into a high-impedance state.

7.1.4 Various Aspects About the Sector Protection Register  
The sector protection register is subject to a limit of 10,000 erase/program cycles. Users are encouraged to carefully evaluate  
the number of times the sector protection register will be modified during the course of the application’s life cycle. If the  
application requires the sector protection register to be modified more than the specified limit of 10,000 cycles because the  
application needs to temporarily unprotect individual sectors (sector protection remains enabled while the sector protection  
register is reprogrammed), then the application will need to limit this practice. Instead, a combination of temporarily unprotecting  
individual sectors, along with disabling sector protection completely, will need to be implemented by the application to ensure  
that the limit of 10,000 cycles is not exceeded.

Security Features  
8.1  
Sector Lockdown  
The device incorporates a sector lockdown mechanism that allows each individual sector to be permanently locked so that it  
becomes read only. This is useful for applications that require the ability to permanently protect a number of sectors against  
malicious attempts at altering program code or security information. Once a sector is locked down, it can never be erased or  
programmed, and it can never be unlocked.  
To issue the sector lockdown command, the CS pin must first be asserted, as it would be for any other command. Once the CS  
pin has been asserted, the appropriate four-byte opcode sequence must be clocked into the device in the correct order. The  
four-byte opcode sequence must start with 3DH, and be followed by 2AH, 7FH, and 30H. After the last byte of the command  
sequence has been clocked in, three address bytes specifying any address within the sector to be locked down must be clocked  
into the device. After the last address bit has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed  
lockdown sequence.  
The lockdown sequence should take place in a maximum time of tP, during which the status register will indicate that the device  
is busy. If the device is powered down before the completion of the lockdown sequence, then the lockdown status of the sector  
cannot be guaranteed. In this case, it is recommended that the user read the sector lockdown register to determine the status of  
the appropriate sector lockdown bits or bytes and reissue the sector lockdown command, if necessary.

8.1.2 Reading the Sector Lockdown Register  
The sector lockdown register can be read to determine which sectors in the memory array are permanently locked down. To  
read the sector lockdown register, the CS pin must first be asserted. Once the CS pin has been asserted, an opcode of 35H and  
three dummy bytes must be clocked into the device via the SI pin. After the last bit of the opcode and dummy bytes has been  
clocked in, the data for the content of the sector lockdown register will be clocked out on the SO pin. The first byte corresponds  
to sector 0 (0a, 0b) the second byte corresponds to sector 1, and the last byte (byte 16) corresponds to sector 15. After the last  
byte of the sector lockdown register has been read, additional pulses on the SCK pin will simply result in undefined data being  
output on the SO pin.  
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the read sector lockdown register operation and put the SO pin into a high-impedance  
state.  
Table 8-4 details the values read from the sector lockdown register.

Security Register  
The device contains a specialized security register that can be used for purposes such as unique device serialization or locked  
key storage. The register is comprised of a total of 128 bytes that are divided into two portions. The first 64 bytes (byte locations  
0 through 63) of the security register are allocated as a one-time user programmable space. Once these 64 bytes have been  
programmed, they cannot be reprogrammed. The remaining 64 bytes of the register (byte locations 64 through 127) are factory  
programmed by Adesto, and contain a unique value for each device. The factory programmed data are fixed and cannot be  
changed.

8.2.1 Programming the Security Register  
The user programmable portion of the security register does not need to be erased before it is programmed.  
To program the security register, the CS pin must first be asserted, and then the appropriate four-byte opcode sequence must  
be clocked into the device in the correct order. The four-byte opcode sequence must start with 9BH, and be followed by 00H,  
00H, and 00H. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked into the device, the data for the content of the 64-byte  
user programmable portion of the security register must be clocked in.  
After the last data byte has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed program cycle.  
The programming of the security register should take place in a maximum time of tP, during which the status register will indicate  
that the device is busy. If the device is powered down during the program cycle, then the contents of the 64-byte user  
programmable portion of the security register cannot be guaranteed.  
If the full 64 bytes of data are not clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, then the values of the byte locations not clocked in  
cannot be guaranteed. For example, if only the first two bytes are clocked in instead of the complete 64 bytes, then the  
remaining 62 bytes of the user programmable portion of the security register cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, if more than  
64 bytes of data are clocked into the device, then the data will wrap back around to the beginning of the register. For instance, if  
65 bytes of data are clocked in, then the 65th byte will be stored at byte location 0 of the security register.  
The user programmable portion of the security register can be programmed only once. Therefore, it is not possible to program  
only the first two bytes of the register and then program the remaining 62 bytes at a later time.  
The program security register command utilizes the internal SRAM buffer 1 for processing. Therefore, the contents of buffer 1  
will be altered from its previous state when this command is issued.

8.2.2 Reading the Security Register  
The security register can be read by first asserting the CS pin and then clocking in an opcode of 77H, followed by three dummy  
bytes. After the last don't care bit has been clocked in, the content of the security register can be clocked out on the SO pin.  
After the last byte of the security register has been read, additional pulses on the SCK pin will simply result in undefined data  
being output on the SO pin.  
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the read security register operation and put the SO pin into a high-impedance state.

Additional Commands  
9.1  
Main Memory Page to Buffer Transfer  
A page of data can be transferred from the main memory to either buffer 1 or buffer 2. To start the operation for the standard  
DataFlash page size (528 bytes), a one-byte opcode, 53H for buffer 1 or 55H for buffer 2, must be clocked into the device,  
followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 don’t care bit, 13 page address bits (PA12 - PA0) that specify the page in main  
memory that is to be transferred, and 10 don’t care bits. To perform a main memory page to buffer transfer for the binary page  
size (512 bytes), the 53H opcode for buffer 1 or 55H opcode for buffer 2 must be clocked into the device, followed by three  
address bytes consisting of 2 don’t care bits, 13 page address bits (A21 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory that is  
to be transferred, and 9 don’t care bits. The CS pin must be low while toggling the SCK pin to load the opcode and the address  
bytes from the input pin (SI). The transfer of page of data from the main memory to the buffer will begin when the CS pin  
transitions from a low to a high state. During the transfer of a page of data (tXFR), the status register can be read or the  
RDY/BUSY can be monitored to determine whether the transfer has been completed.  
9.2  
Main Memory Page to Buffer Compare  
A page of data in the main memory can be compared to the data in buffer 1 or buffer 2. To initiate the operation for a standard  
DataFlash page size (528 bytes), a one-byte opcode, 60H for buffer 1 or 61H for buffer 2, must be clocked into the device,  
followed by three address bytes consisting of 1 don’t care bit, 13 page address bits (PA12 - PA0) that specify the page in the  
main memory that is to be compared to the buffer, and 10 don’t care bits. To start a main memory page to buffer compare for a  
binary page size (512 bytes), the 60H opcode for buffer 1 or 61H opcode for buffer 2 must be clocked into the device, followed  
by three address bytes consisting of 2 don’t care bits, 13 page address bits (A21 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory  
that is to be compared to the buffer, and 9 don’t care bits. The CS pin must be low while toggling the SCK pin to load the opcode  
and the address bytes from the input pin (SI). On the low-to-high transition of the CS pin, the data bytes in the selected main  
memory page will be compared with the data bytes in buffer 1 or buffer 2. During this time (tCOMP), the status register and the  
RDY/BUSY pin will indicate that the part is busy. On completion of the compare operation, bit 6 of the status register is updated  
with the result of the compare.  
9.3  
Auto Page Rewrite  
This mode is needed only when multiple bytes within a page or multiple pages of data are modified in a random fashion within a  
sector. This mode is a combination of two operations:  
1. Main memory page to buffer transfer, and  
2. Buffer to main memory page program, with built-in erase.  
A page of data is first transferred from the main memory to buffer 1 or buffer 2, and then the same data (from buffer 1 or buffer  
2) are programmed back into their original page of main memory. To start the rewrite operation for the standard DataFlash page  
size (528 bytes), a one-byte opcode, 58H for buffer 1 or 59H for buffer 2, must be clocked into the device, followed by three  
address bytes comprised of 1 don’t care bit, 13 page address bits (PA12-PA0) that specify the page in main memory to be  
rewritten, and 10 don’t care bits. To initiate an auto page rewrite for a binary page size (512 bytes), the 58H opcode for buffer 1  
or 59H opcode for buffer 2 must be clocked into the device, followed by three address bytes consisting of 2 don’t care bits, 13  
page address bits (A21 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory that is to be written, and 9 don’t care bits. When a low-  
to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the part will first transfer data from the page in main memory to a buffer and then  
program the data from the buffer back into same page of main memory. The operation is internally self-timed, and should take  
place in a maximum time of tEP. During this time, the status register and the RDY/BUSY pin will indicate that the part is busy.  
If a sector is programmed or reprogrammed sequentially page by page, then the programming algorithm shown in Figure 23-1,  
page 41 is recommended. Otherwise, if multiple bytes in a page or several pages are programmed randomly in a sector, then  
the programming algorithm shown in Figure 23-2, page 42 is recommended. Each page within a sector must be  
updated/rewritten at least once within every 20,000 cumulative page erase/program operations in that sector. Please contact  
Adesto for availability of devices that are specified to exceed the 20,000 cycle cumulative limit.

3597R–DFLASH–11/2012  
9.4  
Status Register Read  
The status register can be used to determine the device’s ready/busy status, page size, a main memory page to buffer compare  
operation result, the sector protection status, or the device density. The status register can be read at any time, including during  
an internally self-timed program or erase operation. To read the status register, the CS pin must be asserted and the opcode of  
D7H must be loaded into the device. After the opcode is clocked in, the one-byte status register will be clocked out on the output  
pin (SO), starting with the next clock cycle. The data in the status register, starting with the msb (bit 7), will be clocked out on the  
SO pin during the next eight clock cycles. After the one byte of the status register has been clocked out, the sequence will  
repeat itself (as long as CS remains low and SCK is being toggled). The data in the status register is constantly updated, and so  
each repeating sequence will output new data.  
Ready/busy status is indicated using bit 7 of the status register. If bit 7 is a one, then the device is not busy and is ready to  
accept the next command. If bit 7 is a zero, then the device is in a busy state. Since the data in the status register is constantly  
updated, the user must toggle the SCK pin to check the ready/busy status.  
There are several operations that can cause the device to be in a busy state:  
Main memory page to buffer transfer  
Main memory page to buffer compare  
Buffer to main memory page program  
Main memory page program through buffer  
Page erase, block erase, sector erase, and chip erase  
Auto page rewrite  
The result of the most recent main memory page to buffer compare operation is indicated using bit 6 of the status register. If bit  
6 is a zero, then the data in the main memory page matches the data in the buffer. If bit 6 is a one, then at least one bit of the  
data in the main memory page does not match the data in the buffer.  
Bit 1 of the status register is used to provide information to the user whether sector protection has been enabled or disabled,  
either by the software-controlled or hardware-controlled method. A logic one indicates that sector protection has been enabled,  
and logic zero indicates that sector protection has been disabled.  
Bit 0 o the status register indicates whether the page size of the main memory array is configured for a “power of two” binary  
page size (512 bytes) or a standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes). If bit 0 is a one, then the page size is set to 512 bytes. If  
bit 0 is a zero, then the page size is set to 528 bytes.  
The device density is indicated using bits 5, 4, 3, and 2 of the status register. For the AT45DB321D, the four bits are 1101. The  
decimal value of these four binary bits does not equate to the device density — the four bits represent a combinational code  
relating to differing densities of DataFlash devices. The device density is not the same as the density code indicated in the  
JEDEC device ID information. The device density is provided only for backward compatibility.

10. Deep Power-down  
After an initial power-up, the device will default to standby mode. The deep power-down command allows the device to enter  
into the lowest power-consumption mode. To enter the deep power-down mode, the CS pin must first be asserted. Once the CS  
pin has been asserted, an opcode of B9H must be clocked in via the input pin (SI). After the last bit of the command has been  
clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate deep power-down operation. After the CS pin is deasserted, the device will  
enter the deep power-down mode within a maximum time of tEDPD. Once the device has entered the deep power-down mode, all  
instructions are ignored, except for the resume from deep power-down commands.

10.1 Resume from Deep Power-down  
The resume from deep power-down command takes the device out of the deep power-down mode and returns it to the normal  
standby mode. To resume from deep power-down mode, the CS pin must first be asserted, and an opcode of ABH must be  
clocked in via the input pin (SI). After the last bit of the command has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to  
terminate the deep power-down mode. After the CS pin is deasserted, the device will return to the normal standby mode within  
a maximum time of tRDPD. The CS pin must remain high during the tRDPD time before the device can receive any commands.  
After resuming from deep power-down, the device will return to the normal standby mode.

11. “Power of Two” Binary Page Size Option  
“Power of two” binary page size configuration register is a user programmable, nonvolatile register that allows the page size of  
the main memory to be configured for binary page size (512 bytes) or standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes). The power of  
two page size is a one-time programmable configuration register, and once the device is configured for power of two page size,  
it cannot be reconfigured again. The devices are initially shipped with the page size set to 528 bytes. The user has the option of  
ordering binary page size (512-byte) devices from the factory. For details, please refer to Section 24., “Ordering Information” on  
page 43.  
For the binary power of two page size to become effective, the following steps must be followed:  
1. Program the one-time programmable configuration resister using the opcode sequence: 3DH, 2AH, 80H, and A6H  
(see Section 11.1).  
2. Power cycle the device (i.e., power down and power up again).  
3. The page for the binary page size can now be programmed.  
If the above steps to set the page size prior to page programming are not followed, incorrect data during a read operation may  
be encountered.  
11.1 Programming the Configuration Register  
To program the configuration register for power of two binary page size, the CS pin must first be asserted, as it would be with  
any other command. Once the CS pin has been asserted, the appropriate four-byte opcode sequence must be clocked into the  
device in the correct order. The four-byte opcode sequence must start with 3DH, followed by 2AH, 80H, and A6H. After the last  
bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed program  
cycle. The programming of the configuration register should take place in a maximum time of tP, during which time the status  
register will indicate that the device is busy. The device must be power cycled after the completion of the program cycle to set  
the power of two page size. If the device is powered-down before the completion of the program cycle, then setting the  
configuration register cannot be guaranteed. However, the user should check bit 0 of the status register to see whether the  
page size was configured for binary page size or not. If not, the command can be issued again.

12. Manufacturer and Device ID Read  
Identification information can be read from the device to enable systems to electronically query and identify the device while it is  
in the system. The identification method and the command opcode comply with the JEDEC standard for “Manufacturer and  
Device ID Read Methodology for SPI Compatible Serial Interface Memory Devices.” The type of information that can be read  
from the device includes the JEDEC-defined manufacturer ID, the vendor-specific device ID, and the vendor-specific extended  
device information.  
To read the identification information, the CS pin must first be asserted, and then the opcode of 9FH must be clocked into the  
device. After the opcode has been clocked in, the device will begin outputting the identification data on the SO pin during the  
subsequent clock cycles. The first byte to be output will be the manufacturer ID, followed by two bytes of device ID information.  
The fourth byte output will be the extended device information string length, which will be 00H to indicate that no extended  
AT45DB321D [DATASHEET]  
21  
3597R–DFLASH–11/2012  
device information follows. As indicated in the JEDEC standard, reading the extended device information string length and any  
subsequent data is optional.  
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the manufacturer and device ID read operation and put the SO pin into a high-impedance  
state. The CS pin can be deasserted at any time, and does not require that a full byte of data be read.

Based on JEDEC publication 106 (JEP106), manufacturer ID data can be comprised of any number of bytes.  
Some manufacturers may have manufacturer ID codes that are two, three, or even four bytes long, with the first  
byte(s) in the sequence being 7FH. A system should detect code 7FH as a “continuation code” and continue to  
read manufacturer ID bytes. The first non-7FH byte would signify the last byte of manufacturer ID data. For Adesto  
(and some other manufacturers), the manufacturer ID data is comprised of only one byte.

started. However, during the internally self-timed portion of group B commands, any command in group C can be executed. The  
group B commands using buffer 1 should use group C commands using buffer 2, and vice versa. Finally, during the internally  
self-timed portion of a group D command, only the status register read command should be executed.

14. Power-on/Reset State  
When power is first applied to the device, or when recovering from a reset condition, the device will default to Mode 3. In  
addition, the output pin (SO) will be in a high-impedance state, and a high-to-low transition on the CS pin will be required to start  
a valid instruction. The mode (Mode 3 or Mode 0) will be automatically selected on every falling edge of CS by sampling the  
inactive clock state.  
14.1 Initial Power-up/Reset Timing Restrictions  
At power-up, the device must not be selected until the supply voltage reaches VCC (min.) and a further delay of tVCSL. During  
power-up, the internal power-on reset circuitry keeps the device in reset mode until VCC rises above the power-on reset  
threshold value (VPOR). At this time, all operations are disabled and the device does not respond to any commands. After power-  
up is applied and VCC is at the minimum operating voltage, VCC (min.), the tVCSL delay is required before the device can be  
selected in order to perform a read operation.  
Similarly, the tPUW delay is required after VCC rises above the power-on reset threshold value (VPOR) before the device can  
perform a write (program or erase) operation. After initial power-up, the device will default to standby mode.

15. System Considerations  
The RapidS serial interface is controlled by the SCK clock, SI serial input, and CS chip select pins. These signals must rise and  
fall monotonically and be free from noise. Excessive noise or ringing on these pins can be misinterpreted as multiple edges and  
cause improper operation of the device. The PC board traces must be kept to a minimum distance or appropriately terminated  
to ensure proper operation. If necessary, decoupling capacitors can be added on these pins to provide filtering against noise  
glitches.  
As system complexity continues to increase, voltage regulation is becoming more important. A key element of any voltage  
regulation scheme is its current sourcing capability. Like all flash memories, the peak current for a DataFlash device occurs  
during the programming and erase operation. The regulator needs to supply this peak current requirement. An under-specified  
regulator can cause current starvation. Besides increasing system noise, current starvation during programming or erase can  
lead to improper operation and possible data corruption.

16. Electrical Specifications  
*Notice:  
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum  
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. The  
"Absolute Maximum Ratings" are stress ratings only, and  
functional operation of the device at these or any other  
conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections  
of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute  
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect  
device reliability. Voltage Extremes referenced in the "Absolute  
Maximum Ratings" are intended to accommodate short  
duration undershoot/overshoot conditions and does not imply  
or guarantee functional device operation at these levels for any  
extended period of time.

19. AC Waveforms  
Six different timing waveforms are shown on page 31. Waveform 1 shows the SCK signal being low when CS makes a high-to-  
low transition, and waveform 2 shows the SCK signal being high when CS makes a high-to-low transition. In both cases, output  
SO becomes valid while the SCK signal is still low (SCK low time is specified as tWL). Timing waveforms 1 and 2 conform to  
RapidS serial interface, but for frequencies up to 66MHz. Waveforms 1 and 2 are compatible with SPI Mode 0 and SPI Mode 3,  
respectively.  
Waveform 3 and waveform 4 illustrate general timing diagram for RapidS serial interface. These are similar to waveform 1 and  
waveform 2, except that output SO is not restricted to become valid during the tWL period. These timing waveforms are valid  
over the full frequency range (maximum frequency = 66MHz) of the RapidS serial case.

19.1 Utilizing the RapidS Function  
To take advantage of the RapidS function's ability to operate at higher clock frequencies, a full clock cycle must be used to  
transmit data back and forth across the serial bus. The DataFlash device is designed to always clock its data out on the falling  
edge of the SCK signal and clock data in on the rising edge of SCK.  
For full clock cycle operation to be achieved when the DataFlash device is clocking data out on the falling edge of SCK, the host  
controller should wait until the next falling edge of SCK to latch the data in. Similarly, the host controller should clock its data out  
on the rising edge of SCK in order to give the DataFlash device a full clock cycle to latch the incoming data in on the next rising  
edge of SCK.

Notes: 1. This type of algorithm is used for applications in which the entire array is programmed sequentially, filling the array  
page by page.  
2. A page can be written using either a main memory page program operation, or a buffer write operation followed by  
a buffer to main memory page program operation.  
3. The algorithm above shows the programming of a single page. The algorithm will be repeated sequentially for  
each page within the entire array.

Notes: 1. To preserve data integrity, each page of an DataFlash sector must be updated/rewritten at least once within every  
20,000 cumulative page erase and program operations.  
2. A page address pointer must be maintained to indicate which page is to be rewritten. The auto page rewrite com-  
mand must use the address specified by the page address pointer.  
3. Other algorithms can be used to rewrite portions of the flash array. Low-power applications may choose to wait  
until 20,000 cumulative page erase and program operations have accumulated before rewriting all pages of the  
sector. See application note AN-4 (“Using Serial DataFlash”) for more details.

Initial release  
27. Errata  
27.1 Chip Erase  
27.1.1 Issue  
In a certain percentage of units, the chip erase feature may not function correctly and may adversely affect device operation.  
Therefore, it is recommended that the chip erase commands (opcodes C7H, 94H, 80H, and 9AH) not be used.  
27.1.2 Workaround  
Use block erase (opcode 50H) as an alternative. The block erase function is not affected by the chip erase issue.  
27.1.3 Resolution  
The chip erase feature may be fixed with a new revision of the device. Please contact Adesto for the estimated availability of  
devices with the fix.
