GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The Am29LV641MH/L is a 64 Mbit, 3.0 volt single  
power supply flash memory devices organized as  
4,194,304 words. The devices have a 16-bit wide data  
bus, and can be programmed either in the host system  
or in standard EPROM programmers.  
Refer to the Ordering Information section for valid VIO  
options.  
Hardware data protection measures include a low  
VCC detector that automatically inhibits write opera-  
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector  
protection feature disables both program and erase  
operations in any combination of sectors of memory.  
This can be achieved in-system or via programming  
equipment.  
An access time of 90, 100, 110, or 120 ns is available.  
Note that each access time has a specific operating  
voltage range (VCC) and an I/O voltage range (VIO), as  
specified in the Product Selector Guide and the Order-  
ing Information sections. The device is offered in a  
48-pin TSOP package. Each device has separate chip  
enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and output enable  
(OE#) controls.  
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume feature allows  
the host system to pause an erase operation in a given  
sector to read or program any other sector and then  
complete the erase operation. The Program Sus-  
pend/Program Resume feature enables the host sys-  
tem to pause a program operation in a given sector to  
read any other sector and then complete the program  
operation.  
Each device requires only a single 3.0 volt power  
supply for both read and write functions. In addition to  
a VCC input, a high-voltage accelerated program  
(ACC) input provides shorter programming times  
through increased current. This feature is intended to  
facilitate factory throughput during system production,  
but may also be used in the field if desired.  
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation  
in progress and resets the device, after which it is then  
ready for a new operation. The RESET# pin may be  
tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would  
thus also reset the device, enabling the host system to  
read boot-up firmware from the Flash memory device.  
The device is entirely command set compatible with  
the JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard.  
Commands are written to the device using standard  
microprocessor write timing. Write cycles also inter-  
nally latch addresses and data needed for the pro-  
gramming and erase operations.  
The device reduces power consumption in the  
standby mode when it detects specific voltage levels  
on CE# and RESET#, or when addresses have been  
stable for a specified period of time.  
The sector erase architecture allows memory sec-  
tors to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting  
the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully  
erased when shipped from the factory.  
The SecSi(Secured Silicon) Sector provides a  
128-word area for code or data that can be perma-  
nently protected. Once this sector is protected, no fur-  
ther changes within the sector can occur.  
Device programming and erasure are initiated through  
command sequences. Once a program or erase oper-  
ation has begun, the host system need only poll the  
DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6 (toggle) status bits to de-  
termine whether the operation is complete. To facilitate  
programming, an Unlock Bypass mode reduces com-  
mand sequence overhead by requiring only two write  
cycles to program data instead of four.  
The Write Protect (WP#) feature protects the first or  
last sector by asserting a logic low on the WP# pin.  
The protected sector will still be protected even during  
accelerated programming.  
AMD MirrorBit flash technology combines years of  
Flash memory manufacturing experience to produce  
the highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effec-  
tiveness. The device electrically erases all bits within a  
sector simultaneously via hot-hole assisted erase. The  
data is programmed using hot electron injection.  
The VersatileI/O™ (VIO) control allows the host sys-  
tem to set the voltage levels that the device generates  
and tolerates on the CE# control input and DQ I/Os to  
the same voltage level that is asserted on the VIO pin.

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 loca-  
tion. The register is a latch used to 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 in-  
puts and control levels they require, and the resulting  
output. The following subsections describe each of  
these operations in further detail.

Notes:  
1. Addresses are A21:A0. Sector addresses are A21:A15.  
2. The sector protect and sector unprotect functions may also be implemented via programming equipment. See the “Sector Group  
Protection and Unprotection” section.  
3. If WP# = VIL, the first or last sector remains protected. If WP# = VIH, the first or last sector will be protected or unprotected as  
determined by the method described in “Sector Group Protection and Unprotection”. All sectors are unprotected when shipped  
from the factory (The SecSi Sector may be factory protected depending on version ordered.)  
4. DIN or DOUT as required by command sequence, data polling, or sector protect algorithm (see Figure 2).  
VersatileIO(VIO) Control  
Requirements for Reading Array Data  
The VersatileIO™ (VIO) control allows the host system  
to set the voltage levels that the device generates and  
tolerates on CE# and DQ I/Os to the same voltage  
level that is asserted on VIO. See “Ordering Informa-  
tion” on page 8 for VIO options on this device.  
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.  
For example, a VI/O of 1.65–3.6 volts allows for I/O at  
the 1.8 or 3 volt levels, driving and receiving signals to  
and from other 1.8 or 3 V devices on the same data  
bus.  
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 com-  
mand 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  
Accelerated Program Operation  
enabled for read access until the command register  
contents are altered.  
The device offers accelerated program operations  
through the ACC function. This function is primarily in-  
tended to allow faster manufacturing throughput dur-  
ing system production.  
See “Reading Array Data” for more information. Refer  
to the AC Read-Only Operations table for timing speci-  
fications and to Figure 14 for the timing diagram. Refer  
to the DC Characteristics table for the active current  
specification on reading array data.  
If the system asserts VHH on this pin, the device auto-  
matically enters the aforementioned Unlock Bypass  
mode, temporarily unprotects any protected sectors,  
and uses the higher voltage on the pin to reduce the  
time required for program operations. The system  
would use a two-cycle program command sequence  
as required by the Unlock Bypass mode. Removing  
VHH from the ACC pin returns the device to normal op-  
eration. Note that the ACC pin must not be at VHH for  
operations other than accelerated programming, or  
device damage may result.  
Page Mode Read  
The device is capable of fast page mode read and is  
compatible with the page mode Mask ROM read oper-  
ation. This mode provides faster read access speed  
for random locations within a page. The page size of  
the device is 4 words. The appropriate page is se-  
lected by the higher address bits A(max)–A2. Address  
bits A1–A0 determine the specific word within a page.  
This is an asynchronous operation; the microproces-  
sor supplies the specific word location.  
Autoselect Functions  
If the system writes the autoselect command se-  
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 Autose-  
lect Command Sequence sections for more informa-  
tion.  
The random or initial page access is equal to tACC or  
tCE and subsequent page read accesses (as long as  
the locations specified by the microprocessor falls  
within that page) is equivalent to tPACC. When CE# is  
deasserted and reasserted for a subsequent access,  
the access time is tACC or tCE. Fast page mode ac-  
cesses are obtained by keeping the “read-page ad-  
dresses” constant and changing the “intra-read page”  
addresses.  
Standby Mode  
When the system is not reading or writing to the de-  
vice, 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, independent of the OE# input.  
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.  
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the  
CE# and RESET# pins are both held at VIO 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  
VIO 0.3 V, the device will be in the standby mode, but  
the standby current will be greater. The device re-  
quires 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 features an Unlock Bypass mode to facili-  
tate faster programming. Once the device enters the  
Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles are re-  
quired to program a word, instead of four. The “Word  
Program Command Sequence” section has details on  
programming data to the device using both standard  
and Unlock Bypass command sequences.  
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sec-  
tors, or the entire device. Table 2 indicates the address  
space that each sector occupies.  
If the device is deselected during erasure or program-  
ming, the device draws active current until the  
operation is completed.  
Refer to the DC Characteristics table for the active  
current specification for the write mode. The AC Char-  
acteristics section contains timing specification tables  
and timing diagrams for write operations.  
Refer to the DC Characteristics table for the standby  
current specification.  
Automatic Sleep Mode  
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device en-  
ergy consumption. The device automatically enables  
Write Buffer  
Write Buffer Programming allows the system to write a  
maximum of 16 words in one programming operation.  
This results in faster effective programming time than  
the standard programming algorithms. See “Write  
Buffer” for more information.  
this mode when addresses remain stable for tACC  
+
30 ns. The automatic sleep mode is independent of  
the CE#, WE#, and OE# control signals. Standard ad-  
dress access timings provide new data when ad-

dresses are changed. While in sleep mode, output  
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.  
data is latched and always available to the system.  
Refer to the DC Characteristics table for the automatic  
sleep mode current specification.  
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin  
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 firm-  
ware from the Flash memory.  
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of re-  
setting 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 en-  
sure data integrity.  
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# pa-  
rameters and to Figure 17 for the timing diagram.  
Output Disable Mode  
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is  
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high  
impedance state.

In addition, when verifying sector protection, the sector  
Autoselect Mode  
address must appear on the appropriate highest order  
address bits (see Table 2). Table 3 shows the remain-  
ing address bits that are don’t care. When all neces-  
sary bits have been set as required, the programming  
equipment may then read the corresponding identifier  
code on DQ7–DQ0.  
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 equip-  
ment to automatically match a device to be pro-  
grammed 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 10. This method  
does not require VID. Refer to the Autoselect Com-  
mand Sequence section for more information.  
When using programming equipment, the autoselect  
mode requires VID on address pin A9. Address pins  
A6, A3, A2, A1, and A0 must be as shown in Table 3.

The hardware sector group protection feature disables  
both program and erase operations in any sector  
group. In this device, a sector group consists of four  
adjacent sectors that are protected or unprotected at  
the same time (see Table 4). The hardware sector  
group unprotection feature re-enables both program  
and erase operations in previously protected sector  
groups. Sector group protection/unprotection can be  
implemented via two methods.

Sector protection/unprotection requires VID on the RE-  
SET# pin only, and can be implemented either in-sys-  
tem or via programming equipment. Figure 2 shows  
the algorithms and Figure 25 shows the timing dia-  
gram. This method uses standard microprocessor bus  
cycle timing. For sector group unprotect, all unpro-  
tected sector groups must first be protected prior to  
the first sector group unprotect write cycle.  
The device is shipped with all sector groups unpro-  
tected. AMD offers the option of programming and pro-  
tecting sector groups at its factory prior to shipping the  
device through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Con-  
tact an AMD representative for details.  
It is possible to determine whether a sector group is  
protected or unprotected. See the Autoselect Mode  
section for details.  
Note: All sector groups are 128 Kwords in size.

Write Protect (WP#)  
The Write Protect function provides a hardware  
method of protecting the first or last sector without  
using VID.  
START  
If the system asserts VIL on the WP# pin, the device  
disables program and erase functions in the first or last  
sector independently of whether those sectors were  
protected or unprotected using the method described  
in “Sector Group Protection and Unprotection”. Note  
that if WP# is at VIL when the device is in the standby  
mode, the maximum input load current is increased.  
See the table in “DC Characteristics”.  
RESET# = VID  
(Note 1)  
Perform Erase or  
Program Operations  
RESET# = VIH  
If the system asserts VIH on the WP# pin, the device  
reverts to whether the first or last sector was previ-  
ously set to be protected or unprotected using the  
method described in “Sector Group Protection and  
Unprotection”.  
Temporary Sector

Temporary Sector Group Unprotect  
(Note: In this device, a sector group consists of four adjacent  
sectors that are protected or unprotected at the same time  
(see Table 4).  
Notes:  
1. All protected sector groups unprotected (If WP# = VIL,  
the first or last sector will remain protected).  
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previ-  
ously protected sector groups to change data in-sys-  
tem. The Sector Group Unprotect mode is activated by  
setting the RESET# pin to VID. During this mode, for-  
merly protected sector groups can be programmed or  
erased by selecting the sector group addresses. Once  
VID is removed from the RESET# pin, all the previously  
protected sector groups are protected again. Figure 1  
shows the algorithm, and Figure 24 shows the timing  
diagrams, for this feature.

Factory Locked: SecSi Sector Programmed and  
SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash  
Memory Region  
Protected At the Factory  
In devices with an ESN, the SecSi Sector is protected  
when the device is shipped from the factory. The SecSi  
Sector cannot be modified in any way. A factory locked  
device has an 8-word random ESN at addresses  
000000h–000007h.  
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector feature provides a  
Flash memory region that enables permanent part  
identification through an Electronic Serial Number  
(ESN). The SecSi Sector is 128 words in length, and  
uses a SecSi Sector Indicator Bit (DQ7) to indicate  
whether or not the SecSi Sector is locked when  
shipped from the factory. This bit is permanently set at  
the factory and cannot be changed, which prevents  
cloning of a factory locked part. This ensures the secu-  
rity of the ESN once the product is shipped to the field.  
Customers may opt to have their code programmed by  
AMD through the AMD ExpressFlash service. The de-  
vices are then shipped from AMD’s factory with the  
SecSi Sector permanently locked. Contact an AMD  
representative for details on using AMD’s Express-  
Flash service.  
AMD offers the device with the SecSi Sector either  
factory locked or customer lockable. The fac-  
tory-locked version is always protected when shipped  
from the factory, and has the SecSi (Secured Silicon)  
Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a “1.The cus-  
tomer-lockable version is shipped with the SecSi Sec-  
tor unprotected, allowing customers to program the  
sector after receiving the device. The customer-lock-  
able version also has the SecSi Sector Indicator Bit  
permanently set to a “0.Thus, the SecSi Sector Indi-  
cator Bit prevents customer-lockable devices from  
being used to replace devices that are factory locked.  
Customer Lockable: SecSi Sector NOT  
Programmed or Protected At the Factory  
As an alternative to the factory-locked version, the de-  
vice may be ordered such that the customer may pro-  
gram and protect the 128-word SecSi sector.  
The system may program the SecSi Sector using the  
write-buffer, accelerated and/or unlock bypass meth-  
ods, in addition to the standard programming com-  
mand sequence. See Command Definitions.  
Programming and protecting the SecSi Sector must be  
used with caution since, once protected, there is no  
procedure available for unprotecting the SecSi Sector  
area and none of the bits in the SecSi Sector memory  
space can be modified in any way.  
The SecSi sector address space in this device is allo-  
cated as follows:

Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region  
command sequence, and then follow the in-system  
sector protect algorithm as shown in Figure 2, ex-  
cept that RESET# may be at either VIH or VID. This  
allows in-system protection of the SecSi Sector  
without raising any device pin to a high voltage.  
Note that this method is only applicable to the SecSi  
Sector.  
Determined by  
customer  
Unavailable  
The system accesses the SecSi Sector through a  
command sequence (see “Enter SecSi Sector/Exit  
SecSi Sector Command Sequence”). After the system  
has written the Enter SecSi Sector command se-  
quence, it may read the SecSi Sector by using the ad-  
dresses normally occupied by the first sector (SA0).  
This mode of operation continues until the system is-  
sues the Exit SecSi Sector command sequence, or  
until power is removed from the device. On power-up,  
or following a hardware reset, the device reverts to  
sending commands to sector SA0.  
To verify the protect/unprotect status of the SecSi  
Sector, follow the algorithm shown in Figure 3.  
Once the SecSi Sector is programmed, locked and  
verified, the system must write the Exit SecSi Sector  
Region command sequence to return to reading and  
writing within the remainder of the array.

Hardware Data Protection  
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles  
for programming or erasing provides data protection  
against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 10 for com-  
mand definitions). In addition, the following hardware  
COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE (CFI)  
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification out-  
lines device and host system software interrogation  
handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified  
software algorithms to be used for entire families of  
devices. Software support can then be device-inde-  
pendent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and  
backward-compatible for the specified flash device  
families. Flash vendors can standardize their existing  
interfaces for long-term compatibility.  
The system can also write the CFI query command  
when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device  
enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read  
CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 6–9. The  
system must write the reset command to return the  
device to reading array data.  
For further information, please refer to the CFI Specifi-  
cation and CFI Publication 100, available via the World  
Wide Web at http://www.amd.com/flash/cfi. Alterna-  
tively, contact an AMD representative for copies of  
these documents.  
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the sys-  
tem writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to address  
55h, any time the device is ready to read array data.  
The system can read CFI information at the addresses  
given in Tables 6–9. To terminate reading CFI data,  
the system must write the reset command.

COMMAND DEFINITIONS  
Writing specific address and data commands or se-  
quences into the command register initiates device op-  
erations. Table 10 defines the valid register command  
sequences. Writing incorrect address and data val-  
ues or writing them in the improper sequence may  
place the device in an unknown state. A reset com-  
mand is then required to return the device to reading  
array data.  
first. Refer to the AC Characteristics section for timing  
diagrams.  
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 ready to read array data  
after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded  
Erase algorithm.  
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  
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,  
the device enters the erase-suspend-read mode, after  
which the system can read data from any

The autoselect command sequence allows the host  
system to read several identifier codes at specific ad-

The system must issue the reset command to return

Note: The device ID is read over three cycles. SA = Sector Address  
Table 10 shows the address and data requirements.  
This method is an alternative to that shown in Table 3,  
which is intended for PROM programmers and re-  
quires VID on address pin A9. The autoselect com-  
mand sequence may be written to an address that is  
either in the read or erase-suspend-read mode. The  
autoselect command may not be written while the de-  
vice is actively programming or erasing.  
Reset Command  
Writing the reset command resets the device to the  
read or erase-suspend-read mode. Address bits are  
don’t cares 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 the read  
mode. Once erasure begins, however, the device ig-  
nores reset commands until the operation is complete.  
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by first  
writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third  
write cycle that contains the autoselect command. The  
device then enters the autoselect mode. The system  
may read at any address any number of times without  
initiating another autoselect command sequence  
The reset command may be written between the  
sequence cycles in a program command sequence  
before programming begins. This resets the device to  
the read mode. If the program command sequence is  
written while the device is in the Erase Suspend mode,  
writing the reset command returns the device to the  
erase-suspend-read mode. Once programming be-  
gins, however, the device ignores reset commands  
until the operation is complete.  
The system must write the reset command to return to  
the read mode (or erase-suspend-read mode if the de-  
vice was previously in Erase Suspend).  
Enter SecSi Sector/Exit SecSi Sector  
Command Sequence  
The SecSi Sector region provides a secured data area  
containing an 8-word random Electronic Serial Num-  
ber (ESN). The system can access the SecSi Sector  
region by issuing the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector  
command sequence. The device continues to access  
the SecSi Sector region until the system issues the  
four-cycle Exit SecSi Sector command sequence. The  
Exit SecSi Sector command sequence returns the de-  
vice to normal operation. Table 10 shows the address  
and data requirements for both command sequences.  
See also “SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash  
Memory Region” for further information. Note that the  
ACC function and unlock bypass modes are not avail-  
able when the SecSi Sector is enabled.  
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 the read mode. If the de-  
vice entered the autoselect mode while in the Erase  
Suspend mode, writing the reset command returns the  
device to the erase-suspend-read mode.  
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,  
writing the reset command returns the device to the  
read mode (or erase-suspend-read mode if the device  
was in Erase Suspend).  
Note that if DQ1 goes high during a Write Buffer Pro-  
gramming operation, the system must write the  
Write-to-Buffer-Abort Reset command sequence to  
reset the device for the next operation.  
Word Program Command Sequence  
Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The pro-  
gram command 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 al-  
gorithm. The system is not required to provide further

controls or timings. The device automatically provides  
Write Buffer Programming  
internally generated program pulses and verifies the  
programmed cell margin. Table 10 shows the address  
and data requirements for the word program command  
sequence.  
Write Buffer Programming allows the system write to a  
maximum of 16 words in one programming operation.  
This results in faster effective programming time than  
the standard programming algorithms. The Write  
Buffer Programming command sequence is initiated  
by first writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by a  
third write cycle containing the Write Buffer Load com-  
mand written at the Sector Address in which program-  
ming will occur. The fourth cycle writes the sector  
address and the number of word locations, minus one,  
to be programmed. For example, if the system will pro-  
gram 6 unique address locations, then 05h should be  
written to the device. This tells the device how many  
write buffer addresses will be loaded with data and  
therefore when to expect the Program Buffer to Flash  
command. The number of locations to program cannot  
exceed the size of the write buffer or the operation will  
abort.  
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,  
the device then returns to the read mode and ad-  
dresses are no longer latched. The system can deter-  
mine the status of the program operation by using  
DQ7 or DQ6. Refer to the Write Operation Status sec-  
tion for information on these status bits.  
Any commands written to the device during the Em-  
bedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a  
hardware reset immediately terminates the program  
operation. The program command sequence should  
be reinitiated once the device has returned to the read  
mode, to ensure data integrity. Note that the ACC  
function and unlock bypass modes are not available  
when the SecSi Sector is enabled.  
The fifth cycle writes the first address location and  
data to be programmed. The write-buffer-page is se-  
lected by address bits AMAX–A4. All subsequent ad-  
dress/data pairs must fall within the  
selected-write-buffer-page. The system then writes the  
remaining address/data pairs into the write buffer.  
Write buffer locations may be loaded in any order.  
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across  
sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed  
from “0” back to a “1.Attempting to do so may  
cause the device to set DQ5 = 1, or cause the DQ7  
and DQ6 status bits 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.”  
The write-buffer-page address must be the same for  
all address/data pairs loaded into the write buffer.  
(This means Write Buffer Programming cannot be per-  
formed across multiple write-buffer pages. This also  
means that Write Buffer Programming cannot be per-  
formed across multiple sectors. If the system attempts  
to load programming data outside of the selected  
write-buffer page, the operation will abort.  
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence  
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to pro-  
gram words to the device faster than using the stan-  
dard program command sequence. The unlock bypass  
command sequence is initiated by first writing two un-  
lock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle con-  
taining the unlock bypass command, 20h. The device  
then enters the unlock bypass mode. A two-cycle un-  
lock 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 com-  
mand, 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. Table 10 shows the requirements for the  
command sequence.  
Note that if a Write Buffer address location is loaded  
multiple times, the address/data pair counter will be  
decremented for every data load operation. The host  
system must therefore account for loading a  
write-buffer location more than once. The counter dec-  
rements for each data load operation, not for each  
unique write-buffer-address location. Note also that if  
an address location is loaded more than once into the  
buffer, the final data loaded for that address will be  
programmed.  
Once the specified number of write buffer locations  
have been loaded, the system must then write the Pro-  
gram Buffer to Flash command at the sector address.  
Any other address and data combination aborts the  
Write Buffer Programming operation. The device then  
begins programming. Data polling should be used  
while monitoring the last address location loaded into  
the write buffer. DQ7, DQ6, DQ5, and DQ1 should be  
monitored to determine the device status during Write  
Buffer Programming.  
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  
must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset com-  
mand sequence. The first cycle must contain the data  
90h. The second cycle must contain the data 00h. The  
device then returns to the read mode.

The write-buffer programming operation can be sus-

command sequence must be written to reset the de-

execute the next command.  
The Write Buffer Programming Sequence can be  
aborted in the following ways:  
Accelerated Program  
Load a value that is greater than the page buffer  
size during the Number of Locations to Program  
step.  
The device offers accelerated program operations  
through the ACC pin. When the system asserts VHH on  
the ACC pin, the device automatically enters the Un-  
lock Bypass mode. The system may then write the  
two-cycle Unlock Bypass program command se-  
quence. The device uses the higher voltage on the  
ACC pin to accelerate the operation. Note that the  
ACC pin must not be at VHH for operations other than  
accelerated programming, or device damage may re-  
sult.

one specified during the Write-Buffer-Load com-  
mand.  
Write an Address/Data pair to

Program Suspend/Program Resume  
Command Sequence  
The Program Suspend command allows the system to  
interrupt a programming operation or a Write to Buffer  
programming operation so that data can be read from  
any non-suspended sector. When the Program Sus-  
pend command is written during a programming pro-  
cess, the device halts the program operation within 5  
µs typical (maximum of 15 µs) and updates the status  
bits. Addresses are not required when writing the Pro-  
gram Suspend command.

Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector  
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two  
unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two ad-  
ditional unlock cycles are written, and are then fol-  
lowed by the address of the sector to be erased, and  
the sector erase command. Table 10 shows the ad-  
dress and data requirements for the sector erase com-  
mand sequence.  
Device reverts to  
operation prior to  
Program Suspend  
Figure 6. Program Suspend/Program Resume  
The device does not require the system to preprogram  
prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm auto-  
matically programs and verifies the entire memory 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.  
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 10  
shows the address and data requirements for the chip  
erase command sequence.  
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase  
time-out of 50 µs occurs. 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  
between these additional cycles must be less than 50  
µs, otherwise erasure may begin. Any sector erase ad-  
dress and command following the exceeded time-out  
may or may not be accepted. It is recommended that  
processor interrupts be disabled during this time to en-  
sure all commands are accepted. The interrupts can  
be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is  
written. Any command other than Sector Erase or  
Erase Suspend during the time-out period resets  
the device to the read mode. The system must re-  
write the command sequence and any additional ad-  
dresses and commands. Note that the SecSi Sector,  
autoselect, and CFI functions are unavailable when an  
erase operation is in progress.

After the erase operation has been suspended, the  
device enters the erase-suspend-read mode. The sys-  
tem can read data from or program data to any sector  
not selected for erasure. (The device “erase sus-  
pends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Reading at  
any address within erase-suspended sectors pro-  
duces status information 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.

tor erase timer has timed out (See the section on DQ3:  
Sector Erase Timer.). The time-out begins from the ris-  
ing edge of the final WE# pulse in the command  
sequence.  
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 reading DQ7, DQ6, or  
DQ2 in the erasing sector. Refer to the Write Opera-  
tion Status section for information on these status bits.  
After an erase-suspended program operation is com-  
plete, the device returns to the erase-suspend-read  
mode. The system can determine the status of the  
program operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits,  
just as in the standard word program operation.  
Refer to the Write Operation Status section for more  
information.  
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the  
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other com-  
mands are ignored. However, note that a hardware  
reset immediately terminates the erase operation. If  
that occurs, the sector erase command sequence  
should be reinitiated once the device has returned to  
reading array data, to ensure data integrity.  
In the erase-suspend-read mode, the system can also  
issue the autoselect command sequence. Refer to the  
Autoselect Mode and Autoselect Command Sequence  
sections for details.  
Figure 7 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera-  
tion. Refer to the Erase and Program Operations ta-  
bles in the AC Characteristics section for parameters,  
and Figure 20 section for timing diagrams.  
To resume the sector erase operation, the system  
must write the Erase Resume command. Further  
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another  
Erase Suspend command can be written after the chip  
has resumed erasing.  
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume  
Commands  
The Erase Suspend command, B0h, allows the sys-  
tem 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 sec-  
tor erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out pe-  
riod during the sector erase command sequence. The  
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during  
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program  
algorithm.  
Note: During an erase operation, this flash device per-  
forms multiple internal operations which are invisible  
to the system. When an erase operation is suspended,  
any of the internal operations that were not fully com-  
pleted must be restarted. As such, if this flash device  
is continually issued suspend/resume commands in  
rapid succession, erase progress will be impeded as a  
function of the number of suspends. The result will be  
a longer cumulative erase time than without suspends.  
Note that the additional suspends do not affect device  
reliability or future performance. In most systems rapid  
erase/suspend activity occurs only briefly. In this ex-  
ample, erase performance will not be significantly im-  
pacted.  
When the Erase Suspend command is written during  
the sector erase operation, the device requires a typi-  
cal of 5 µs (maximum of 20 µs) to suspend the erase  
operation. However, when the Erase Suspend com-  
mand is written during the sector erase time-out, the  
device immediately terminates the time-out period and  
suspends the erase operation.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS  
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a  
program or erase operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, and  
DQ7. Table 11 and the following subsections describe the  
function of these bits. DQ7 and DQ6 each offer a method for  
determining whether a program or erase operation is com-  
plete or in progress.  
invalid. Valid data on DQ0–DQ7 will appear on suc-  
cessive read cycles.  
Table 11 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.  
Figure 8 shows the Data# Polling algorithm. Figure 21  
in the AC Characteristics section shows the Data#  
Polling timing diagram.  
DQ7: Data# Polling  
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system  
whether an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is in  
progress or completed, or whether the device is in Erase  
Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the  
final WE# pulse in the command sequence.  
START  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
Addr = VA  
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device out-  
puts on DQ7 the complement of the datum programmed to  
DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to programming 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 ac-  
tive for approximately 1 µs, then the device returns to the  
read mode.  
Yes  
DQ7 = Data?  
No  
No  
DQ5 = 1?  
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling  
produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase  
algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase  
Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7.  
The system must provide an address within any of the  
sectors selected for erasure to read valid status infor-  
mation on DQ7.  
Yes  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
Addr = VA  
After an erase command sequence is written, if all  
sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data# Poll-  
ing on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 µs, then the  
device returns to the read mode. If not all selected  
sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algorithm  
erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the se-  
lected sectors that are protected. However, if the sys-  
tem reads DQ7 at an address within a protected  
sector, the status may not be valid.  
Yes  
DQ7 = Data?  
No  
PASS  
FAIL  
Just prior to the completion of an Embedded Program  
or Erase operation, DQ7 may change asynchronously  
with DQ0–DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is asserted  
low. That is, the device may change from providing  
status information to valid data on DQ7. Depending on  
when the system samples the DQ7 output, it may read  
the status or valid data. Even if the device has com-  
pleted the program or erase operation and DQ7 has  
valid data, the data outputs on DQ0–DQ6 may be still  
Notes:  
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector  
erase operation, a valid address is any sector address  
within the sector being erased. 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.

DQ6: Toggle Bit I  
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded  
Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or com-  
plete, or whether the device has entered the Erase  
Suspend mode. Toggle Bit I may be read at any ad-  
dress, and is valid after the rising edge of the final  
WE# pulse in the command sequence (prior to the  
program or erase operation), and during the sector  
erase time-out.  
START  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
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.  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
No  
Toggle Bit  
= Toggle?  
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors  
selected for erasing are protected, DQ6 toggles for approxi-  
mately 100 µs, then returns to reading array data. If not all  
selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algo-  
rithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the se-  
lected sectors that are protected.  
Yes  
No  
DQ5 = 1?  
Yes  
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine  
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 de-  
vice enters the Erase Suspend mode, DQ6 stops toggling.  
However, the system must also use DQ2 to determine  
which sectors are erasing or erase-suspended. Alterna-  
tively, the system can use DQ7 (see the subsection on  
DQ7: Data# Polling).

Table 11 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6.  
Figure 9 shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 22 in  
the “AC Characteristics” section shows the toggle bit  
timing diagrams. Figure 23 shows the differences be-  
tween DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also the  
subsection on DQ2: Toggle Bit II.  
Note: The system should recheck the toggle bit even if  
DQ5 = “1” because the toggle bit may stop toggling as DQ5  
changes to “1.See the subsections on DQ6 and DQ2 for  
more information.

cles, determining the status as described in the previ-  
ous paragraph. 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 de-  
termine the status of the operation (top of Figure 9).  
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.  
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits  
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses  
within those sectors that have been selected for era-  
sure. (The system may use either OE# or CE# to con-  
trol the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish  
whether the sector is actively erasing or is erase-sus-  
pended. DQ6, by comparison, indicates whether the  
device is actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but  
cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for era-  
sure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and  
mode information. Refer to Table 11 to compare out-  
puts for DQ2 and DQ6.  
DQ5 indicates whether the program, erase, or  
write-to-buffer time has exceeded a specified internal  
pulse count limit. Under these conditions DQ5 produces a  
“1,indicating that the program or erase cycle was not suc-  
cessfully completed.  
The device may output a “1” on DQ5 if the system tries  
to program a “1” to a location that was 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 timing limit  
has been exceeded, DQ5 produces a “1.”  
Figure 9 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 22 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure  
23 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in  
graphical form.  
In all these cases, the system must write the reset  
command to return the device to the reading the array  
(or to erase-suspend-read if the device was previously  
in the erase-suspend-program mode).  
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer  
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2  
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the  
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not  
erasure 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 com-  
mand. When the time-out period is complete, DQ3  
switches from a “0” to a “1.If the time between addi-  
tional sector erase commands from the system can be  
assumed to be less than 50 µs, the system need not  
monitor DQ3. See also the Sector Erase Command  
Sequence section.  
Refer to Figure 9 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 tog-  
gle 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 completed the program or erase operation. The  
system can read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the fol-  
lowing read cycle.  
After the sector erase command is written, the system  
should read the status of DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6  
(Toggle Bit I) to ensure that the device has accepted  
the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is  
“1,the Embedded Erase algorithm has begun; all fur-  
ther commands (except 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 sys-  
tem software should check the status of DQ3 prior to  
and following each subsequent sector erase com-  
mand. If DQ3 is high on the second status check, the  
last command might not have been accepted.  
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 tog-  
gling, 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 de-  
vice did not completed the operation successfully, and  
the system must write the reset command to return to  
reading array data.  
The remaining scenario is that the system initially de-  
termines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ5 has  
not gone high. The system may continue to monitor  
Table 11 shows the status of DQ3 relative to the other  
status bits.

Effective Accelerated Word Program  
Time, using the Write Buffer (Note 4)  
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 3.0 V VCC. Programming specifications assume that  
all bits are programmed to 00h.  
2. Maximum values are measured at VCC = 3.0 V, worst case temperature. Maximum values are valid up to and including 100,000  
program/erase cycles.  
3. Word programming specification is based upon a single word/byte programming operation not utilizing the write buffer.  
4. For 1-16 words programmed in a single write buffer programming operation.  
5. Effective write buffer specification is calculated on a per-word basis for a 16-word write buffer operation.  
6. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bits are programmed to 00h before erasure.  
7. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the command sequence(s) for the program command. See Table 10 for  
further information on command definitions.  
8. The device has a minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 100,000 cycles.
