GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV008B is an 8 Mbit, 3.0 volt-only Flash
memory organized as 1,048,576 bytes. The device is
offered in a 40-pin TSOP package. The byte-wide (x8)
data appears on DQ7–DQ0. This device requires only
a single, 3.0 volt VCC supply to perform read, program,
and erase operations. A standard EPROM pro-
grammer can also be used to program and erase the
device.
executing the erase operation. During 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
(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
benefits of the Am29LV008, which was manufactured
using 0.5 µm process technology. In addition, the
Am29LV008B features unlock bypass programming
and in-system sector protection/unprotection.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the
data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
The standard device offers access times of 70, 80, 90,
and 120 ns, allowing high speed microprocessors to
operate without wait states. To eliminate bus conten-
tion the device has separate chip enable (CE#), write
enable (WE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.
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 in-system or via program-
ming equipment.
The device requires only a single 3.0 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 device offers two power-saving features. When
addresses have been stable for a specified amount of
time, the device enters the automatic sleep mode.
The system can also place the device into the standby
mode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in both
these modes.
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. The Unlock Bypass mode facili-
tates faster programming times by requiring only two
write cycles to program data instead of four.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash
memory manufacturing experience to produce the
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effective-
ness. The device electrically erases all bits within
a sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tun-
neling. The data is programmed using hot electron
injection.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command
sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase algo-
rithm—an internal algorithm that automatically prepro-
grams the array (if it is not already programmed) before

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS
This section describes the requirements and use of the
device bus operations, which are initiated through the
internal command register. The command register itself
does not occupy any addressable memory location.
The register is composed of latches that store the com-
mands, along with the address and data information
needed to execute the command. The contents of the
register serve as inputs to the internal state machine.
The state machine outputs dictate the function of the
device. 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.

Requirements for Reading Array Data
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To read array data from the outputs, the system must
drive the CE# and OE# pins to VIL. CE# is the power
control and selects the device. OE# is the output
control and gates array data to the output pins. WE#
should remain at VIH.
To write a command or command sequence (which
includes programming data to the device and erasing
sectors of memory), the system must drive WE# and
CE# to VIL, and OE# to VIH.
The Am29LV008B is manufactured on AMD’s new 0.35
µm process technology and offers an Unlock Bypass
mode to facilitate faster programming. Once the device
enters the Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles
are required to program a byte, instead of four. Devices
manufactured on AMD’s 0.5 µm process technology re-
quire a four-bus-cycle command sequence for each byte
programmed. The “Byte Program Command Sequence”
section has details on programming data to the device
using both standard and Unlock Bypass command se-
quences.
The internal state machine is set for reading array data
upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This
ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory
content occurs during the power transition. No
command is necessary in this mode to obtain array
data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert
valid addresses on the device address inputs produce
valid data on the device data outputs. The device
remains enabled for read access until the command
register contents are altered.
See “Reading Array Data” for more information. Refer
to the AC Read Operations table for timing specifica-
tions and to Figure 13 for the timing waveforms. ICC1 in
the DC Characteristics table represents the active
current specification for reading array data.
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
address” consists of the address bits required to
uniquely select a sector. The “Command Definitions”

section has details on erasing a sector or the entire
enables this mode when addresses remain stable for
tACC + 30 ns. The automatic sleep mode is inde-
pendent of the CE#, WE#, and OE# control signals.
Standard address access timings provide new data
when addresses are changed. While in sleep mode,
output data is latched and always available to the
system. ICC5 in the DC Characteristics table represents
the automatic sleep mode current specification.
chip, or suspending/resuming the erase operation.
After the system writes the autoselect command
sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The
system can then read autoselect codes from the
internal register (which is separate from the memory
array) on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings
apply in this mode. Refer to the Autoselect Mode 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
RESET# 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
machine to reading array data. The operation that was
interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is
ready to accept another command sequence, to
ensure data integrity.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the
active current specification for the write mode. The “AC
Characteristics” section contains timing specification
tables and timing diagrams for write operations.
Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system may
check the status of the operation by reading the status
bits on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC
read specifications apply. Refer to “Write Operation
Status” 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 VSS±0.3 V, the device
draws CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET# is held
at VIL but not within VSS±0.3 V, the standby current will
be greater.
Standby Mode
When the system is not reading or writing to the device,
it can place the device in the standby mode. In this
mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and the
outputs are placed in the high impedance state, inde-
pendent of the OE# input.
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.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the
CE# and RESET# pins are both held at VCC ± 0.3 V.
(Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
VIH.) If CE# and RESET# are held at VIH, but not within
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase oper-
ation, the RY/BY# pin remains a “0” (busy) until the
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The
system can thus monitor RY/BY# to determine whether
the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is asserted
when a program or erase operation is not executing
(RY/BY# pin is “1”), the reset operation is completed
within a time of tREADY (not during Embedded Algo-
rithms). The system can read data tRH after the
RESET# pin returns to VIH.
V
CC ± 0.3 V, the device will be in the standby mode, but
the standby current will be greater. 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.
If the device is deselected during erasure or program-
ming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# pa-
rameters and to Figure 14 for the timing diagram.
In the DC Characteristics table, ICC3 and ICC4 repre-
sents the standby current specification.
Output Disable Mode
Automatic Sleep 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.
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device
energy consumption. The device automatically

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

The primary method requires VID on the RESET# pin
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algo-
rithms and Figure 21 shows the waveform. This
method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle
timing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected sectors
must first be protected prior to the first sector unprotect
write cycle.
Sector Protection/Unprotection
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hard-
ware sector unprotection feature re-enables both
program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
AMD offers the option of programming and protecting
sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device
through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an
AMD representative for details.
The alternate method intended only for programming
equipment requires VID on address pin A9 and OE#.
This method is compatible with programmer routines
written for earlier 3.0 volt-only AMD flash devices.
Details on this method are provided in a supplement,
publication number 20875. Contact an AMD represent-
ative to request a copy.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected
or unprotected. See “Autoselect Mode” for details.
Sector protection/unprotection can be implemented via
two methods.

sectors can be programmed or erased by selecting the
Temporary Sector Unprotect
sector addresses. Once VID is removed from the RE-
SET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are

This feature allows temporary unprotection of previ-
ously protected sectors to change data in-system. The

COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or
sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 5 defines the valid register command
sequences. Writing incorrect address and data
values or writing them in the improper sequence
resets the device to reading array data.
data after completing an Embedded Program or
Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,
the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The
system can read array data using the standard read
timings, except that if it reads at an address within
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
Suspend/Erase Resume Commands” for more infor-
mation on this mode.
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.
Reading Array Data
The system must issue the reset command to re-
enable the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes
high, or while in the autoselect mode. See the “Reset
Command” section, next.
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

The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.
“Device Bus Operations” section for more information.
The Read Operations table provides the read parame-
ters, and Figure 13 shows the timing diagram.
Byte Program Command Sequence
Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The pro-
gram command sequence is initiated by writing two un-
lock write cycles, followed by the program set-up
command. The program address and data are written
next, which in turn initiate the Embedded Program al-
gorithm. The system is not required to provide further
controls or timings. The device automatically provides
internally generated program pulses and verifies the
programmed cell margin. Table 5 shows the address
and data requirements for the byte program command
sequence.
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.
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.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
the device then returns to reading array data and ad-
dresses are no longer latched. The system can deter-
mine the status of the program operation by using
DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write Operation Status”
for information on these status bits.
Any commands written to the device during the
Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the program-
ming operation. The Byte Program command
sequence should be reinitiated once the device has
reset to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
The reset command may be written between the
sequence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must
be written to return to reading array data (also applies
to autoselect during Erase Suspend).
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the device to
reading array data (also applies during Erase Sus-
pend).
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”.
See the applicable “AC Characteristics” for parameters,
and to Figure 14 for the timing wavrforms.
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.
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to pro-
gram bytes or words to the device faster than using the
standard program command sequence. The unlock by-
pass command sequence is initiated by first writing two
unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle
containing the unlock bypass command, 20h. The de-
vice then enters the unlock bypass mode. A two-cycle
unlock bypass program command sequence is all that
is required to program in this mode. The first cycle in
this sequence contains the unlock bypass program
command, A0h; the second cycle contains the program
address and data. Additional data is programmed in
the same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial
two unlock cycles required in the standard program
command sequence, resulting in faster total program-
ming time. The Command Definitions table shows the
requirements for the command sequence.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by
writing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect
command. The device then enters the autoselect
mode, and the system may read at any address any
number of times, without initiating another command
sequence.
A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufac-
turer code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns the
device code. A read cycle containing a sector address
(SA) and the address 02h returns 01h if that sector is
protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to Tables 2
and 3 for valid sector addresses.
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock By-
pass Program and Unlock Bypass Reset commands
are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system
Am29LV008B

must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset com-
trols or timings during these operations. Table 5 shows

mand sequence. The first cycle must contain the data
90h; the second cycle the data 00h. Addresses are
don’t care for both cycles. The device then returns to
reading array data.
Any commands written to the chip during the
Embedded Erase algorithm are ignored. Note that a
hardware reset during the chip erase operation imme-
diately terminates the operation. The Chip Erase
command sequence should be reinitiated once the
device has returned to reading array data, to ensure
data integrity.
Figure 3 illustrates the algorithm for the program oper-
ation. See the Erase/Program Operations table in “AC
Characteristics” for parameters, and Figure 15 for tim-
ing diagrams.
The system can determine the status of the erase oper-
ation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY#. See “Write
Operation Status” for information on these status bits.

device returns to reading array data and addresses are

Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two

additional 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 device does not require the system to preprogram

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
sectors may be from one sector to all sectors. The time
between these additional cycles must be less than 50
µs, otherwise the last address and command might not
be accepted, and erasure may begin. It is recom-
mended 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.

Timer” section.) The time-out begins from the rising
edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
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 operation.
See “Write Operation Status” for more information.
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
operation. 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
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.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading array data and addresses are
no longer latched. The system can determine the
status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2,
or RY/BY#. Refer to “Write Operation Status” for infor-
mation on these status bits.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera-
tion. Refer to the Erase/Program Operations tables in
the “AC Characteristics” section for parameters, and to
Figure 16 for timing waveforms.
The system must write the Erase Resume command
(address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase suspend
mode and continue the sector erase operation. Further
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another
Erase Suspend command can be written after the
device has resumed erasing.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to
interrupt a sector erase operation and then read data
from, or program data to, any sector not selected for
erasure. This command is valid only during the sector
erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out period
during the sector erase command sequence. The
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algo-
rithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the
time-out period and suspends the erase operation.
Addresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase
Suspend command.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the sta-
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.
Table 6 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.
Figure 5 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.
START
DQ7: Data# Polling
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system
whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or com-
pleted, or whether the device is in Erase Suspend.
Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final
WE# pulse in the program or erase command se-
quence.
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 1 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
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.
Notes:
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector
erase operation, a valid address is an address within any
sector selected for erasure. During chip erase, a valid
address is any non-protected sector address.
2. DQ7 should be rechecked even if DQ5 = “1” because
DQ7 may change simultaneously with DQ5.
When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the
complement to true data, it can read valid data at DQ7–
following read cycles. This is because DQ7

may change asynchronously with DQ0–DQ6 while

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 13, 14,
15 and 16 shows RY/BY# for read, reset, program, 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
distinguish which sectors are selected for erasure.
Thus, both status bits are required for sector and mode
information. 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 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart
form, and the section “DQ2: Toggle Bit II” explains the
algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection.
Refer to Figure 18 for the toggle bit timing diagram. Fig-
ure 19 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
complete, 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 6 for the following discussion. Whenever
the system initially begins reading toggle bit status, it
must read DQ7–DQ0 at least twice in a row to determine
whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the system
would note and store the value of the toggle bit after the
first read. After the second read, the system would com-
pare the new value of the toggle bit with the first. If the
toggle bit is not toggling, the device has completed the
program or erase operation. The system can read array
data on DQ7–DQ0 on the following read cycle.
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
completed 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 1 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.
18
Am29LV008B
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 6).
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
programmed to “0.” Only an erase operation can
change a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the
device halts the operation, and when the operation has
exceeded 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
(Note 1)
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
Read DQ7–DQ0
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 additional
sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-out also
applies after each additional sector erase command.
When the time-out is complete, DQ3 switches from “0”
to “1.” The system may ignore DQ3 if the system can
guarantee that the time between additional sector
erase commands will always be less than 50 µs. See
also the “Sector Erase Command Sequence” section.
No
Toggle Bit
= Toggle?
Yes
No
DQ5 = 1?
Yes
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, 3.0 V V , 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally,
CC
programming typicals assume checkerboard pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, V = 2.7 V, 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 minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.

REVISION SUMMARY FOR AM29LV008B
Revision B
Revision B+1
Distinctive Characteristics
Figure 1, In-System Sector Protect/Unprotect
Algorithms
Changed typical read and program/erase current spec-
ifications.
In the sector protect algorithm, added a “Reset
PLSCNT=1” box in the path from “Protect another sec-
tor?” back to setting up the next sector address.
Device now has a guaranteed minimum endurance of
1,000,000 write cycles.
DC Characteristics
Figure 1, In-System Sector Protect/Unprotect
Algorithm
Changed Note 1 to indicate that OE# is at VIH for the
listed current.
Corrected A6 to 0, Changed wait specification to 150
µs on sector protect and 15 ms on sector unprotect.
AC Characteristics:
