GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The Am29F400B is a 4 Mbit, 5.0 volt-only Flash  
memory organized as 524,288 bytes or 262,144 words.  
The device is offered in 44-pin SO and 48-pin TSOP  
packages. The word-wide data (x16) appears on  
DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–  
DQ0. This device is designed to be programmed in-  
system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply.  
A 12.0 V VPP is not required for write or erase opera-  
tions. The device can also be programmed in standard  
EPROM programmers.  
algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically  
preprograms the array (if it is not already pro-  
grammed) before executing the erase operation. Dur-  
ing erase, the device automatically times the erase  
pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin.  
The host system can detect whether a program or  
erase operation is complete by observing the RY/BY#  
pin, or by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling) and  
DQ6/DQ2 (toggle) status bits. After a program or  
erase cycle has been completed, the device is ready to  
read array data or accept another command.  
This device is manufactured using AMD’s 0.35 µm  
process technology, and offers all the features and ben-  
efits of the Am29F400, which was manufactured using  
0.5 µm process technology.  
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors  
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the  
data contents of other sectors. The device is fully  
erased when shipped from the factory.  
The standard device offers access times of 55, 60, 70,  
90, 120, and 150 ns, allowing high speed microproces-  
sors to operate without wait states. To eliminate bus  
contention the device has separate chip enable (CE#),  
write enable (WE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.  
Hardware data protection measures include a low  
detector that automatically inhibits write opera-  
VCC  
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector  
protection feature disables both program and erase  
operations in any combination of the sectors of mem-  
ory. This can be achieved via programming equipment.  
The device requires only a single 5.0 volt power sup-  
ply for both read and write functions. Internally gener-  
ated and regulated voltages are provided for the  
program and erase operations.  
The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put  
erase on hold for any period of time to read data from,  
or program data to, any sector that is not selected for  
erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.  
The device is entirely command set compatible with the  
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Com-  
mands are written to the command register using  
standard microprocessor write timings. Register con-  
tents serve as input to an internal state-machine that  
controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write  
cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed  
for the programming and erase operations. Reading  
data out of the device is similar to reading from other  
Flash or EPROM devices.  
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation  
in progress and resets the internal state machine to  
reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to the  
system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also  
reset the device, enabling the system microprocessor  
to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.  
The system can place the device into the standby mode.  
Power consumption is greatly reduced in this mode.  
Device programming occurs by executing the program  
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded  
Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that auto-  
matically times the program pulse widths and verifies  
proper cell margin.  
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash  
memory manufacturing experience to produce the  
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness.  
The device electrically erases all bits within a sector  
simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The  
data is programmed using hot electron injection.  
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase com-  
mand sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS  
This section describes the requirements and use of the  
device bus operations, which are initiated through the  
internal command register. The command register it-  
self does not occupy any addressable memory loca-  
tion. The register is composed of latches that store the  
commands, along with the address and data informa-  
tion needed to execute the command. The contents of  
the register serve as inputs to the internal state ma-  
chine. The state machine outputs dictate the function of  
the device. Table 1 lists the device bus operations, the  
inputs and control levels they require, and the resulting  
output. The following subsections describe each of  
these operations in further detail.

device data outputs. The device remains enabled for  
read access until the command register contents are  
altered.  
Word/Byte Configuration  
The BYTE# pin controls whether the device data I/O  
pins DQ15–DQ0 operate in the byte or word configura-  
tion. If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘1’, the device is in  
word configuration, DQ15–DQ0 are active and control-  
led by CE# and OE#.  
See “Reading Array Data” for more information. Refer  
to the AC Read Operations table for timing specifica-  
tions and to Figure 9 for the timing diagram. ICC1 in the  
DC Characteristics table represents the active current  
specification for reading array data.  
If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘0’, the device is in byte  
configuration, and only data I/O pins DQ0–DQ7 are ac-  
tive and controlled by CE# and OE#. The data I/O pins  
DQ8–DQ14 are tri-stated, and the DQ15 pin is used as  
an input for the LSB (A-1) address function.  
Writing Commands/Command Sequences  
To write a command or command sequence (which in-  
cludes programming data to the device and erasing  
sectors of memory), the system must drive WE# and  
CE# to VIL, and OE# to VIH.  
Requirements for Reading Array Data  
To read array data from the outputs, the system must  
drive the CE# and OE# pins to VIL. CE# is the power  
control and selects the device. OE# is the output con-  
trol and gates array data to the output pins. WE# should  
remain at VIH. The BYTE# pin determines whether the  
device outputs array data in words or bytes.  
For program operations, the BYTE# pin determines  
whether the device accepts program data in bytes or  
words. Refer to “Word/Byte Configuration” for more in-  
formation.  
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sec-  
tors, or the entire device. Tables 2 and 3 indicate the  
address space that each sector occupies. A “sector ad-  
dress” consists of the address bits required to uniquely  
select a sector. The “Command Definitions” section  
has details on erasing a sector or the entire chip, or  
suspending/resuming the erase operation.  
The internal state machine is set for reading array data  
upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This  
ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory con-  
tent occurs during the power transition. No command is  
necessary in this mode to obtain array data. Standard  
microprocessor read cycles that assert valid addresses  
on the device address inputs produce valid data on the

After the system writes the autoselect command se-

teristics tables, ICC3 represents the standby current  
specification.  
quence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The  
system can then read autoselect codes from the inter-  
nal register (which is separate from the memory array)  
on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this  
mode. Refer to the “Autoselect Mode” and “Autoselect  
Command Sequence” sections for more information.  
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin  
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of reset-  
ting the device to reading array data. When the RE-  
SET# pin is driven low for at least a period of tRP, the  
device immediately terminates any operation in  
progress, tristates all output pins, and ignores all  
read/write commands for the duration of the RESET#  
pulse. The device also resets the internal state ma-  
chine to reading array data. The operation that was in-  
terrupted should be reinitiated once the device is ready  
to accept another command sequence, to ensure data  
integrity.  
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the ac-  
tive current specification for the write mode. The “AC  
Characteristics” section contains timing specification  
tables and timing diagrams for write operations.  
Program and Erase Operation Status  
During an erase or program operation, the system may  
check the status of the operation by reading the status  
bits on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC  
read specifications apply. Refer to “Write Operation  
Status” for more information, and to “AC Characteris-  
tics” for timing diagrams.  
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET#  
pulse. When RESET# is held at VIL, the device enters  
the TTL standby mode; if RESET# is held at VSS±0.5  
V, the device enters the CMOS standby mode.  
Standby Mode  
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset cir-  
cuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash  
memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up  
firmware from the Flash memory.  
When the system is not reading or writing to the device,  
it can place the device in the standby mode. In this  
mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and the  
outputs are placed in the high impedance state, inde-  
pendent of the OE# input.  
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase oper-  
ation, the RY/BY# pin remains a “0” (busy) until the in-  
ternal reset operation is complete, which requires a  
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The  
system can thus monitor RY/BY# to determine whether  
the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is asserted  
when a program or erase operation is not executing  
(RY/BY# pin is “1”), the reset operation is completed  
within a time of tREADY (not during Embedded Algo-  
rithms). The system can read data tRH after the RE-  
SET# pin returns to VIH.  
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the  
CE# and RESET# pins are both held at VCC ± 0.5 V.  
(Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than  
VIH.) The device enters the TTL standby mode when  
CE# and RESET# pins are both held at VIH. The device  
requires standard access time (tCE) for read access  
when the device is in either of these standby modes,  
before it is ready to read data.  
The device also enters the standby mode when the RE-  
SET# pin is driven low. Refer to the next section, “RE-  
SET#: Hardware Reset Pin”.  
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# pa-  
rameters and to Figure 10 for the timing diagram.  
If the device is deselected during erasure or program-  
ming, the device draws active current until the  
operation is completed.  
Output Disable Mode  
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is  
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high imped-  
ance state.

Autoselect Mode  
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and de-  
vice identification, and sector protection verification,  
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This  
mode is primarily intended for programming equipment  
to automatically match a device to be programmed with  
its corresponding programming algorithm. However,  
the autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system  
through the command register.  
the sector address must appear on the appropriate  
highest order address bits (see Tables 2 and 3). Table  
4 shows the remaining address bits that are don’t care.  
When all necessary bits have been set as required, the  
programming equipment may then read the corre-  
sponding identifier code on DQ7–DQ0.  
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host  
system can issue the autoselect command via the  
command register, as shown in Table 5. This method  
does not require VID. See “Command Definitions” for  
details on using the autoselect mode.  
When using programming equipment, the autoselect  
mode requires VID (11.5 V to 12.5 V) on address pin  
A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in  
Table 4. In addition, when verifying sector protection,

Temporary Sector Unprotect  
Notes:  
1. All protected sectors unprotected.  
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previ-  
ously protected sectors to change data in-system. The  
Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the RE-  
SET# pin to VID. During this mode, formerly protected  
sectors can be programmed or erased by selecting the  
sector addresses. Once VID is removed from the RE-  
SET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are  
protected again. Figure 1 shows the algorithm, and  
Figure 18 shows the timing diagrams, for this feature.  
2. All previously protected sectors are protected once  
again.  
Figure 1. Temporary Sector Unprotect Operation  
Hardware Data Protection  
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles  
for programming or erasing provides data protection  
against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 5 for com-  
mand definitions). In addition, the following hardware  
data protection measures prevent accidental erasure  
or programming, which might otherwise be caused by  
10  
Am29F400B  
 
 
P R E L I M I N A R Y  
spurious system level signals during VCC power-up and  
power-down transitions, or from system noise.  
Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection  
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or  
WE# do not initiate a write cycle.  
Low V Write Inhibit  
CC  
When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not ac-  
cept any write cycles. This protects data during VCC  
power-up and power-down. The command register and  
all internal program/erase circuits are disabled, and the  
device resets. Subsequent writes are ignored until VCC  
is greater than VLKO. The system must provide the  
proper signals to the control pins to prevent uninten-  
Logical Inhibit  
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# =  
VIL, CE# = VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle,  
CE# and WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a  
logical one.  
Power-Up Write Inhibit  
tional writes when VCC is greater than VLKO  
.
If WE# = CE# = VIL and OE# = VIH during power up, the  
device does not accept commands on the rising edge  
of WE#. The internal state machine is automatically  
reset to reading array data on power-up.  
COMMAND DEFINITIONS  
Writing specific address and data commands or se-  
quences into the command register initiates device op-  
erations. Table 5 defines the valid register command  
sequences. Writing incorrect address and data val-  
ues or writing them in the improper sequence resets  
the device to reading array data.  
Reset Command  
Writing the reset command to the device resets the de-  
vice to reading array data. Address bits are don’t care  
for this command.  
The reset command may be written between the se-  
quence cycles in an erase command sequence before  
erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array  
data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ig-  
nores reset commands until the operation is complete.  
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# or  
CE#, whichever happens later. All data is latched on  
the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens  
first. Refer to the appropriate timing diagrams in the  
“AC Characteristics” section.  
The reset command may be written between the se-  
quence cycles in a program command sequence be-  
fore programming begins. This resets the device to  
reading array data (also applies to programming in  
Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins,  
however, the device ignores reset commands until the  
operation is complete.  
Reading Array Data  
The device is automatically set to reading array data  
after device power-up. No commands are required to  
retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array  
data after completing an Embedded Program or Em-  
bedded Erase algorithm.  
The reset command may be written between the se-  
quence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.  
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must  
be written to return to reading array data (also applies  
to autoselect during Erase Suspend).  
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,  
the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The sys-  
tem can read array data using the standard read tim-  
ings, except that if it reads at an address within erase-  
suspended sectors, the device outputs status data.  
After completing a programming operation in the Erase  
Suspend mode, the system may once again read array  
data with the same exception. See “Erase Sus-  
pend/Erase Resume Commands” for more information  
on this mode.  
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,  
writing the reset command returns the device to read-  
ing array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).  
Autoselect Command Sequence  
The autoselect command sequence allows the host  
system to access the manufacturer and devices codes,  
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.  
Table 5 shows the address and data requirements. This  
method is an alternative to that shown in Table 4, which  
is intended for PROM programmers and requires VID  
on address bit A9.  
The system must issue the reset command to re-ena-  
ble the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes high,  
or while in the autoselect mode. See the “Reset Com-  
mand” section, next.  
See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” in the  
“Device Bus Operations” section for more information.  
The Read Operations table provides the read parame-  
ters, and Figure 9 shows the timing diagram.  
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by  
writing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect  
command. The device then enters the autoselect  
mode, and the system may read at any address any

number of times, without initiating another command  
sequence.  
START  
A read cycle at address XX00h or retrieves the manu-  
facturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h in word  
mode (or 02h in byte mode) returns the device code.  
A read cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the  
address 02h in word mode (or 04h in byte mode) re-  
turns 01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it is un-  
protected. Refer to Tables 2 and 3 for valid sector  
addresses.

Word/Byte Program Command Sequence  
The system may program the device by word or byte,  
depending on the state of the BYTE# pin. Program-  
ming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program com-  
mand sequence is initiated by writing two unlock write  
cycles, followed by the program set-up command. The  
program address and data are written next, which in  
turn initiate the Embedded Program algorithm. The  
system is not required to provide further controls or tim-  
ings. The device automatically provides internally gen-  
erated program pulses and verify the programmed cell  
margin. Table 5 shows the address and data require-  
ments for the byte program command sequence.

When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,

formation on these status bits.  
21505C-6  
Note:  
See Table 5 for program command sequence.  
Figure 2. Program Operation  
Any commands written to the device during the Em-  
bedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a  
hardware reset immediately terminates the program-  
ming operation. The Byte Program command se-  
quence should be reinitiated once the device has reset  
to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.  
Chip Erase Command Sequence  
Chip erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The chip erase  
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock  
cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional  
unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase  
command, which in turn invokes the Embedded Erase  
algorithm. The device does not require the system to  
preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algo-  
rithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire  
memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical  
erase. The system is not required to provide any con-  
trols or timings during these operations. Table 5 shows  
the address and data requirements for the chip erase  
command sequence.  
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across  
sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed  
from a “0” back to a “1”. Attempting to do so may halt  
the operation and set DQ5 to “1”, or cause the Data#  
Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was suc-  
cessful. However, a succeeding read will show that the  
data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert a “0”  
to a “1”.  
Any commands written to the chip during the Embed-  
ded Erase algorithm are ignored. Note that a hardware  
reset during the chip erase operation immediately ter-  
minates the operation. The Chip Erase command se-  
quence should be reinitiated once the device has  
returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.

Figure 14 for timing diagrams.  
Sector Erase Command Sequence  
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands  
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector  
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two un-  
lock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two addi-  
tional unlock write cycles are then followed by the  
address of the sector to be erased, and the sector  
erase command. Table 5 shows the address and data  
requirements for the sector erase command sequence.  
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to in-  
terrupt a sector erase operation and then read data  
from, or program data to, any sector not selected for  
erasure. This command is valid only during the sector  
erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out period  
during the sector erase command sequence. The  
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during  
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algo-  
rithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the  
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the  
time-out period and suspends the erase operation. Ad-  
dresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase Sus-  
pend command.  
The device does not require the system to preprogram  
the memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algo-  
rithm automatically programs and verifies the sector for  
an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The  
system is not required to provide any controls or tim-  
ings during these operations.  
When the Erase Suspend command is written during  
a sector erase operation, the device requires a maxi-  
mum of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation. How-  
ever, when the Erase Suspend command is written  
during the sector erase time-out, the device immedi-  
ately terminates the time-out period and suspends the  
erase operation.  
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase  
time-out of 50 µs begins. During the time-out period,  
additional sector addresses and sector erase com-  
mands may be written. Loading the sector erase buffer  
may be done in any sequence, and the number of sec-  
tors may be from one sector to all sectors. The time be-  
tween these additional cycles must be less than 50 µs,  
otherwise the last address and command might not be  
accepted, and erasure may begin. It is recommended  
that processor interrupts be disabled during this time to  
ensure all commands are accepted. The interrupts can  
be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is  
written. If the time between additional sector erase  
commands can be assumed to be less than 50 µs, the  
system need not monitor DQ3. Any command other  
than Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during the  
time-out period resets the device to reading array  
data. The system must rewrite the command sequence  
and any additional sector addresses and commands.  
After the erase operation has been suspended, the  
system can read array data from or program data to  
any sector not selected for erasure. (The device “erase  
suspends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Normal  
read and write timings and command definitions apply.  
Reading at any address within erase-suspended sec-  
tors produces status data on DQ7–DQ0. The system  
can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine  
if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended.  
See “Write Operation Status” for information on these  
status bits.  
After an erase-suspended program operation is com-  
plete, the system can once again read array data within  
non-suspended sectors. The system can determine  
the status of the program operation using the DQ7 or  
DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard program oper-  
ation. See “Write Operation Status” for more informa-  
tion.  
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector  
erase timer has timed out. (See the “DQ3: Sector Erase  
Timer” section.) The time-out begins from the rising  
edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.  
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the  
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other commands  
are ignored. Note that a hardware reset during the  
sector erase operation immediately terminates the op-  
eration. The Sector Erase command sequence should  
be reinitiated once the device has returned to reading  
array data, to ensure data integrity.  
The system may also write the autoselect command  
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend  
mode. The device allows reading autoselect codes  
even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the  
codes are not stored in the memory array. When the  
Am29F400B

P R E L I M I N A R Y  
device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to  
the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another  
valid operation. See “Autoselect Command Sequence”  
for more information.  
The system must write the Erase Resume command  
(address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase suspend  
mode and continue the sector erase operation. Further  
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another  
Erase Suspend command can be written after the de-  
vice has resumed erasing.

tus of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7,  
and RY/BY#. Table 6 and the following subsections de-  
scribe the functions of these bits. DQ7, RY/BY#, and  
DQ6 each offer a method for determining whether a  
program or erase operation is complete or in progress.  
These three bits are discussed first.  
START  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
Addr = VA  
DQ7: Data# Polling  
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host sys-  
tem whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress  
or completed, or whether the device is in Erase Sus-  
pend. Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of  
the final WE# pulse in the program or erase com-  
mand sequence.  
Yes  
DQ7 = Data?  
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device  
outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum pro-  
grammed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to pro-  
gramming during Erase Suspend. When the  
Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device  
outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The system  
must provide the program address to read valid status  
information on DQ7. If a program address falls within a  
protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for ap-  
proximately 2 µs, then the device returns to reading  
array data.  
No  
No  
DQ5 = 1?  
Yes  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
Addr = VA  
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling  
produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase al-  
gorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase  
Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7.  
This is analogous to the complement/true datum output  
described for the Embedded Program algorithm: the  
erase function changes all the bits in a sector to “1”;  
prior to this, the device outputs the “complement,” or  
“0.” The system must provide an address within any of  
the sectors selected for erasure to read valid status in-  
formation on DQ7.  
Yes  
DQ7 = Data?  
No  
PASS  
FAIL  
Notes:  
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sec-  
tors selected for erasing are protected, Data# Polling  
on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 µs, then the de-  
vice returns to reading array data. If not all selected  
sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algorithm  
erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the se-  
lected sectors that are protected.  
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector  
erase operation, a valid address is an address within any  
sector selected for erasure. During chip erase, a valid  
address is any non-protected sector address.  
2. DQ7 should be rechecked even if DQ5 = “1” because  
DQ7 may change simultaneously with DQ5.  
21505C-8  
When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the  
complement to true data, it can read valid data at DQ7–  
Figure 4. Data# Polling Algorithm  
following read cycles. This is because DQ7  
DQ0 on the  
may change asynchronously with DQ0–DQ6 while  
Output Enable (OE#) is asserted low. Figure 15, Data#  
Polling Timings (During Embedded Algorithms), in the  
“AC Characteristics” section illustrates this.  
Table 6 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.  
Figure 4 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.

Table 6 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6. Fig-  
RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#  
ure 5 shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 16 in the  
“AC Characteristics” section shows the toggle bit timing  
diagrams. Figure 17 shows the differences between  
DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also the subsec-  
tion on “DQ2: Toggle Bit II”.  
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that  
indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in  
progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after  
the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command  
sequence. Since RY/BY# is an open-drain output, sev-  
eral RY/BY# pins can be tied together in parallel with a  
DQ2: Toggle Bit II  
pull-up resistor to VCC  
.
The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indi-  
cates whether a particular sector is actively erasing  
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),  
or whether that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit  
II is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in  
the command sequence.  
If the output is low (Busy), the device is actively erasing  
or programming. (This includes programming in the  
Erase Suspend mode.) If the output is high (Ready),  
the device is ready to read array data (including during  
the Erase Suspend mode), or is in the standby mode.  
Table 6 shows the outputs for RY/BY#. Figures 10, Fig-  
ure 13 and Figure 14 shows RY/BY# for reset, pro-  
gram, and erase operations, respectively.  
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses  
within those sectors that have been selected for eras-  
ure. (The system may use either OE# or CE# to control  
the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish whether  
the sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended.  
DQ6, by comparison, indicates whether the device is  
actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot dis-  
tinguish which sectors are selected for erasure. Thus,  
both status bits are required for sector and mode infor-  
mation. Refer to Table 6 to compare outputs for DQ2  
and DQ6.  
DQ6: Toggle Bit I  
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded  
Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete,  
or whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend  
mode. Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is  
valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the  
command sequence (prior to the program or erase op-  
eration), and during the sector erase time-out.  
Figure 5 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart  
form, and the section “DQ2: Toggle Bit II” explains the  
algorithm. See also the “DQ6: Toggle Bit I” subsection.  
Figure 16 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure  
17 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in  
graphical form.  
During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm op-  
eration, successive read cycles to any address cause  
DQ6 to toggle. The system may use either OE# or CE#  
to control the read cycles. When the operation is com-  
plete, DQ6 stops toggling.  
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sec-  
tors selected for erasing are protected, DQ6 toggles for  
approximately 100 µs, then returns to reading array  
data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the Em-  
bedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sec-  
tors, and ignores the selected sectors that are  
protected.  
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2  
Refer to Figure 5 for the following discussion. When-  
ever the system initially begins reading toggle bit sta-  
tus, it must read DQ7–DQ0 at least twice in a row to  
determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the  
system would note and store the value of the toggle bit  
after the first read. After the second read, the system  
would compare the new value of the toggle bit with the  
first. If the toggle bit is not toggling, the device has com-  
pleted the program or erase operation. The system can  
read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the following read cy-  
cle.  
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to deter-  
mine whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase-  
suspended. When the device is actively erasing (that is,  
the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), DQ6  
toggles. When the device enters the Erase Suspend  
mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system must  
also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are erasing  
or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the system can use  
DQ7 (see the subsection on “DQ7: Data# Polling”).  
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system  
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the sys-  
tem also should note whether the value of DQ5 is high  
(see the section on DQ5). If it is, the system should  
then determine again whether the toggle bit is toggling,  
since the toggle bit may have stopped toggling just as  
DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer toggling,  
the device has successfully completed the program or  
erase operation. If it is still toggling, the device did not  
complete the operation successfully, and the system  
must write the reset command to return to reading  
array data.  
If a program address falls within a protected sector,  
DQ6 toggles for approximately 2 µs after the program  
command sequence is written, then returns to reading  
array data.  
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program  
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Pro-  
gram algorithm is complete.

P R E L I M I N A R Y  
The remaining scenario is that the system initially de-  
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits  
termines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ5 has not  
gone high. The system may continue to monitor the  
toggle bit and DQ5 through successive read cycles, de-  
termining the status as described in the previous para-  
graph. Alternatively, it may choose to perform other  
system tasks. In this case, the system must start at the  
beginning of the algorithm when it returns to determine  
the status of the operation (top of Figure 5).  
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has  
exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit. Under  
these conditions DQ5 produces a “1.” This is a failure  
condition that indicates the program or erase cycle was  
not successfully completed.  
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system  
tries to program a “1” to a location that is previously pro-  
grammed to “0.” Only an erase operation can change  
a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the device  
halts the operation, and when the operation has ex-  
ceeded the timing limits, DQ5 produces a “1.”  
START  
Under both these conditions, the system must issue the  
reset command to return the device to reading array  
data.  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer  
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the  
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not an  
erase operation has begun. (The sector erase timer  
does not apply to the chip erase command.) If addi-  
tional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-  
out also applies after each additional sector erase  
command. When the time-out is complete, DQ3  
switches from “0” to “1.” If the time between additional  
sector erase commands from the system can be as-  
sumed to be less than 50 µs, the system need not  
monitor DQ3. See also the “Sector Erase Command  
Sequence” section.

(Note 1)

Toggle Bit

No

After the sector erase command sequence is written,  
the system should read the status on DQ7 (Data# Poll-  
ing) or DQ6 (Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device has ac-  
cepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If  
DQ3 is “1”, the internally controlled erase cycle has be-  
gun; all further commands (other than Erase Suspend)  
are ignored until the erase operation is complete. If  
DQ3 is “0”, the device will accept additional sector  
erase commands. To ensure the command has been  
accepted, the system software should check the status  
of DQ3 prior to and following each subsequent sector  
erase command. If DQ3 is high on the second status  
check, the last command might not have been ac-  
cepted. Table 6 shows the outputs for DQ3.

Notes:  
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 5.0 V V , 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally,  
CC  
programming typicals assume checkerboard pattern.  
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, V = 4.5 V (4.75 V for -60), 1,000,000 cycles.  
CC  
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes  
program faster than the maximum program times listed.  
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure.  
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the four-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See Table 5  
for further information on command definitions.  
6. The device has a guaranteed minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
