Description  
The AT45DB641E is a 1.7V minimum, serial-interface sequential access Flash memory ideally suited for a wide variety of  
digital voice, image, program code, and data storage applications. The AT45DB641E also supports the RapidS serial  
interface for applications requiring very high speed operation. Its 69,206,016 bits of memory are organized as 32,768  
pages of 256 bytes or 264 bytes each. In addition to the main memory, the AT45DB641E also contains two SRAM  
buffers of 256/264 bytes each. Interleaving between both buffers can dramatically increase a system's ability to write a  
continuous data stream. In addition, the SRAM buffers can be used as additional system scratch pad memory, and  
E2PROM emulation (bit or byte alterability) can be easily handled with a self-contained three step read-modify-write  
operation.  
Unlike conventional Flash memories that are accessed randomly with multiple address lines and a parallel interface, the  
DataFlash® uses a serial interface to sequentially access its data. The simple sequential access dramatically reduces  
active pin count, facilitates simplified hardware layout, increases system reliability, minimizes switching noise, and  
reduces package size. The device is optimized for use in many commercial and industrial applications where  
high-density, low-pin count, low-voltage, and low-power are essential.  
To allow for simple in-system re-programmability, the AT45DB641E does not require high input voltages for  
programming. The device operates from a single 1.7V to 3.6V power supply for the erase and program and read  
operations. The AT45DB641E is enabled through the Chip Select pin (CS) and accessed via a 3-wire interface consisting  
of the Serial Input (SI), Serial Output (SO), and the Serial Clock (SCK).  
All programming and erase cycles are self-timed.

Table 1-1. Pin Configurations  
Asserted  
State  
Symbol  
Name and Function  
Type  
Chip Select: Asserting the CS pin selects the device. When the CS pin is deasserted, the  
device will be deselected and normally be placed in the standby mode (not Deep Power-Down  
mode) and the output pin (SO) will be in a high-impedance state. When the device is  
deselected, data will not be accepted on the input pin (SI).  
CS  
Low  
Input  
A high-to-low transition on the CS pin is required to start an operation and a low-to-high  
transition is required to end an operation. When ending an internally self-timed operation such  
as a program or erase cycle, the device will not enter the standby mode until the completion of  
the operation.  
Serial Clock: This pin is used to provide a clock to the device and is used to control the flow of  
data to and from the device. Command, address, and input data present on the SI pin is  
always latched on the rising edge of SCK, while output data on the SO pin is always clocked  
out on the falling edge of SCK.  
SCK  
Input  
Serial Input: The SI pin is used to shift data into the device. The SI pin is used for all data input  
including command and address sequences. Data on the SI pin is always latched on the rising  
edge of SCK. Data present on the SI pin will be ignored whenever the device is deselected (CS  
is deasserted).  
SI  
Input  
Serial Output: The SO pin is used to shift data out from the device. Data on the SO pin is  
always clocked out on the falling edge of SCK. The SO pin will be in a high-impedance state  
whenever the device is deselected (CS is deasserted).  
SO  
Output  
Write Protect: When the WP pin is asserted, all sectors specified for protection by the Sector  
Protection Register will be protected against program and erase operations regardless of  
whether the Enable Sector Protection command has been issued or not. The WP pin functions  
independently of the software controlled protection method. After the WP pin goes low, the  
contents of the Sector Protection Register cannot be modified.  
If a program or erase command is issued to the device while the WP pin is asserted, the device  
will simply ignore the command and perform no operation. The device will return to the idle  
state once the CS pin has been deasserted. The Enable Sector Protection command and the  
Sector Lockdown command, however, will be recognized by the device when the WP pin is  
asserted.  
WP  
Low  
Input  
The WP pin is internally pulled-high and may be left floating if hardware controlled protection  
will not be used. However, it is recommended that the WP pin also be externally connected to  
VCC whenever possible.  
Reset: A low state on the reset pin (RESET) will terminate the operation in progress and reset  
the internal state machine to an idle state. The device will remain in the reset condition as long  
as a low level is present on the RESET pin. Normal operation can resume once the RESET pin  
is brought back to a high level.  
RESET  
Low  
Input  
The device incorporates an internal power-on reset circuit, so there are no restrictions on the  
RESET pin during power-on sequences. If this pin and feature is not utilized, then it is  
recommended that the RESET pin be driven high externally.  
Device Power Supply: The VCC pin is used to supply the source voltage to the device.  
Operations at invalid VCC voltages may produce spurious results and should not be attempted.  
VCC  
Power  
Ground: The ground reference for the power supply. GND should be connected to the system  
ground.

Memory Array  
To provide optimal flexibility, the AT45DB641E memory array is divided into three levels of granularity comprising of  
sectors, blocks, and pages. Figure 3-1, Memory Architecture Diagram illustrates the breakdown of each level and details  
the number of pages per sector and block. Program operations to the DataFlash can be done at the full page level or at  
the byte level (a variable number of bytes). The erase operations can be performed at the chip, sector, block, or page  
level.

Device Operation  
The device operation is controlled by instructions from the host processor. The list of instructions and their associated  
opcodes are contained in Table 15-1 on page 40 through Table 15-4 on page 41. A valid instruction starts with the falling  
edge of CS followed by the appropriate 8-bit opcode and the desired buffer or main memory address location. While the  
CS pin is low, toggling the SCK pin controls the loading of the opcode and the desired buffer or main memory address  
location through the SI (Serial Input) pin. All instructions, addresses, and data are transferred with the Most Significant  
Bit (MSB) first.  
Three address bytes are used to address memory locations in either the main memory array or in one of the SRAM  
buffers. The three address bytes will be comprised of a number of dummy bits and a number of actual device address  
bits, with the number of dummy bits varying depending on the operation being performed and the selected device page  
size. Buffer addressing for the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes) is referenced in the datasheet using the  
terminology BFA8 - BFA0 to denote the 9 address bits required to designate a byte address within a buffer. The main  
memory addressing is referenced using the terminology PA14 - PA0 and BA8 - BA0, where PA14 - PA0 denotes the  
15 address bits required to designate a page address, and BA8 - BA0 denotes the 9 address bits required to designate a  
byte address within the page. Therefore, when using the standard DataFlash page size, a total of 24 address bits are  
used.  
For the “power of 2” binary page size (256 bytes), the buffer addressing is referenced in the datasheet using the  
conventional terminology BFA7 - BFA0 to denote the eight address bits required to designate a byte address within a  
buffer. Main memory addressing is referenced using the terminology A22 - A0, where A22 - A8 denotes the 15 address  
bits required to designate a page address, and A7 - A0 denotes the 8 address bits required to designate a byte address  
within a page. Therefore, when using the binary page size, a total of 23 address bits are used.

Read Commands  
By specifying the appropriate opcode, data can be read from the main memory or from either one of the two SRAM data  
buffers. The DataFlash supports RapidS protocols for Mode 0 and Mode 3. Please see Section 25., Detailed Bit-level  
Read Waveforms: RapidS Mode 0/Mode 3 diagrams in this datasheet for details on the clock cycle sequences for each  
mode.  
5.1  
Continuous Array Read (Legacy Command: E8h Opcode)  
By supplying an initial starting address for the main memory array, the Continuous Array Read command can be utilized to  
sequentially read a continuous stream of data from the device by simply providing a clock signal; no additional addressing  
information or control signals need to be provided. The DataFlash incorporates an internal address counter that will  
automatically increment on every clock cycle, allowing one continuous read from memory to be performed without the  
need for additional address sequences. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the standard DataFlash page size  
(264 bytes), an opcode of E8h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (which comprise the 24-bit  
page and byte address sequence) and four dummy bytes. The first 15 bits (PA14 - PA0) of the 24-bit address sequence  
specify which page of the main memory array to read and the last 9 (BA8 - BA0) of the 24-bit address sequence specify  
the starting byte address within the page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the binary page size  
(256 bytes), an opcode of E8h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes and four dummy bytes.  
The first 15 bits (A22 - A8) of the 23-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read and the  
last 8 bits (A7 - A0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the page. The dummy bytes  
that follow the address bytes are needed to initialize the read operation. Following the dummy bytes, additional clock  
pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO (serial output) pin.  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy bytes, and the reading of  
data. When the end of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue  
reading at the beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from  
the end of one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the  
device will continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no  
delays will be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.  
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum  
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR1 specification. The Continuous Array Read  
bypasses the data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
Warning:  
This command is not recommended for new designs.  
5.2  
Continuous Array Read (High Frequency Mode: 1Bh Opcode)  
This command can be used to read the main memory array sequentially at the highest possible operating clock  
frequency up to the maximum specified by fCAR4. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the standard DataFlash  
page size (264 bytes), the CS pin must first be asserted, and then an opcode of 1Bh must be clocked into the device  
followed by three address bytes and two dummy bytes. The first 15 bits (PA14 - PA0) of the 24-bit address sequence  
specify which page of the main memory array to read and the last 9 bits (BA8 - BA0) of the 24-bit address sequence  
specify the starting byte address within the page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the binary page size (256  
bytes), the opcode 1Bh must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (A22 - A0) and two dummy  
bytes. Following the dummy bytes, additional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO  
(Serial Output) pin.  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy bytes, and the reading of  
data. When the end of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue  
reading at the beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover  
from the end of one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read,  
the device will continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page  
boundaries, no delays will be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.

A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum  
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR4 specification. The Continuous Array  
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
5.3  
Continuous Array Read (High Frequency Mode: 0Bh Opcode)  
This command can be used to read the main memory array sequentially at higher clock frequencies up to the maximum  
specified by fCAR1. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), the CS pin  
must first be asserted, and then an opcode of 0Bh must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes and  
one dummy byte. The first 15 bits (PA14 - PA0) of the 24-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory  
array to read and the last 9 bits (BA8 - BA0) of the 24-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the  
page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the binary page size (256 bytes), the opcode 0Bh must be clocked into  
the device followed by three address bytes (A22 - A0) and one dummy byte. Following the dummy byte, additional clock  
pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO pin.  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy byte, and the reading of  
data. When the end of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue  
reading at the beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover  
from the end of one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read,  
the device will continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page  
boundaries, no delays will be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.  
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum  
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR1 specification. The Continuous Array  
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
5.4  
Continuous Array Read (Low Frequency Mode: 03h Opcode)  
This command can be used to read the main memory array sequentially at lower clock frequencies up to maximum  
specified by fCAR2. Unlike the previously described read commands, this Continuous Array Read command for the lower  
clock frequencies does not require the clocking in of dummy bytes after the address byte sequence. To perform a  
Continuous Array Read using the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), the CS pin must first be asserted, and then  
an opcode of 03h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes. The first 15 bits (PA14 - PA0) of the  
24-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read and the last 9 bits (BA8 - BA0) of the  
address sequence specify the starting byte address within the page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the  
binary page size (256 bytes), the opcode 03h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (A22 -  
A0). Following the address bytes, additional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO pin.  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, and the reading of data. When the end  
of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue reading at the  
beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from the end of  
one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the device will  
continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no delays will  
be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.  
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum  
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR2 specification. The Continuous Array  
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
5.5  
Continuous Array Read (Low Power Mode: 01h Opcode)  
This command is ideal for applications that want to minimize power consumption and do not need to read the memory  
array at high frequencies. Like the 03h opcode, this Continuous Array Read command allows reading the main memory  
array sequentially without the need for dummy bytes to be clocked in after the address byte sequence. The memory can  
be read at clock frequencies up to maximum specified by fCAR3. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the standard  
DataFlash page size (264 bytes), the CS pin must first be asserted, and then an opcode of 01h must be clocked into the  
device followed by three address bytes. The first 15 bits (PA14 - PA0) of the 24-bit address sequence specify which page  
AT45DB641E  
DS-45DB641E-027L–DFLASH–8/2021  
8
of the main memory array to read and the last 9 bits (BA8 - BA0) of the 24-bit address sequence specify the starting byte  
address within the page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the binary page size (256 bytes), the opcode 01h  
must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (A22 - A0). Following the address bytes, additional clock  
pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO pin.  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, and the reading of data. When the end  
of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue reading at the  
beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from the end of  
one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the device will  
continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no delays will  
be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.  
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum  
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR3 specification. The Continuous Array  
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
5.6  
Main Memory Page Read  
A Main Memory Page Read allows the reading of data directly from a single page in the main memory, bypassing both of  
the data buffers and leaving the contents of the buffers unchanged. To start a page read using the standard DataFlash  
page size (264 bytes), an opcode of D2h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (which  
comprise the 24-bit page and byte address sequence) and four dummy bytes. The first 15 bits (PA14 - PA0) of the 24-bit  
address sequence specify the page in main memory to be read and the last 9 bits (BA8 - BA0) of the 24-bit address  
sequence specify the starting byte address within that page. To start a page read using the binary page size (256 bytes),  
the opcode D2h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes and four dummy bytes. The first 15 bits  
(A22 - A8) of the 23-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read, and the last 8 bits (A7 -  
A0) of the 23-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within that page. The dummy bytes that follow the  
address bytes are sent to initialize the read operation. Following the dummy bytes, the additional pulses on SCK result in  
data being output on the SO (serial output) pin.  
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy bytes, and the reading of  
data. Unlike the Continuous Array Read command, when the end of a page in main memory is reached, the device will  
continue reading back at the beginning of the same page rather than the beginning of the next page.  
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum  
SCK frequency allowable for the Main Memory Page Read is defined by the fSCK specification. The Main Memory Page  
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.  
5.7  
Buffer Read  
The SRAM data buffers can be accessed independently from the main memory array, and utilizing the Buffer Read  
command allows data to be sequentially read directly from either one of the buffers. Four opcodes, D4h or D1h for  
Buffer 1 and D6h or D3h for Buffer 2, can be used for the Buffer Read command. The use of each opcode depends on  
the maximum SCK frequency that will be used to read data from the buffers. The D4h and D6h opcode can be used at  
any SCK frequency up to the maximum specified by fCAR1 while the D1h and D3h opcode can be used for lower  
frequency read operations up to the maximum specified by fCAR2  
.
To perform a Buffer Read using the standard DataFlash buffer size (264 bytes), the opcode must be clocked into the  
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 dummy bits and 9 buffer address bits (BFA8 - BFA0). To perform  
a Buffer Read using the binary buffer size (256 bytes), the opcode must be clocked into the device followed by three  
address bytes comprised of 16 dummy bits and 8 buffer address bits (BFA7 - BFA0). Following the address bytes, one  
dummy byte must be clocked into the device to initialize the read operation if using opcodes D4h or D6h. The CS pin  
must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy byte (if using opcodes D4h or D6h),  
and the reading of data. When the end of a buffer is reached, the device will continue reading back at the beginning of  
the buffer. A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO).

Program and Erase Commands  
6.1  
Buffer Write  
Utilizing the Buffer Write command allows data clocked in from the SI pin to be written directly into either one of the  
SRAM data buffers.  
To load data into a buffer using the standard DataFlash buffer size (264 bytes), an opcode of 84h for Buffer 1 or 87h for  
Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 dummy bits and 9 buffer  
address bits (BFA8 - BFA0). The 9 buffer address bits specify the first byte in the buffer to be written.  
To load data into a buffer using the binary buffer size (256 bytes), an opcode of 84h for Buffer 1 or 87h for Buffer 2, must  
be clocked into the device followed by 16 dummy bits and 8 buffer address bits (BFA7 - BFA0). The 8 buffer address bits  
specify the first byte in the buffer to be written.  
After the last address byte has been clocked into the device, data can then be clocked in on subsequent clock cycles. If  
the end of the data buffer is reached, the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. Data will continue to  
be loaded into the buffer until a low-to-high transition is detected on the CS pin.  
6.2  
Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase  
The Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase command allows data that is stored in one of the SRAM  
buffers to be written into an erased or programmed page in the main memory array. It is not necessary to pre-erase the  
page in main memory to be written because this command will automatically erase the selected page prior to the  
program cycle.  
To perform a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase using the standard DataFlash page size  
(264 bytes), an opcode of 83h for Buffer 1 or 86h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address  
bytes comprised of 15 page address bits (PA14 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9  
dummy bits.  
To perform a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase using the binary page size (256 bytes), an opcode  
of 83h for Buffer 1 or 86h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 1  
dummy bit, 15 page address bits (A22 - A8) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 8 dummy bits.  
When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will first erase the selected page in main memory (the  
erased state is a Logic 1) and then program the data stored in the appropriate buffer into that same page in main  
memory. Both the erasing and the programming of the page are internally self-timed and should take place in a  
maximum time of tEP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase and program algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to  
erase or program properly. If an erase or programming error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status  
Register.  
6.3  
Buffer to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase  
The Buffer to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase command allows data that is stored in one of the SRAM  
buffers to be written into a pre-erased page in the main memory array. It is necessary that the page in main memory to be  
written be previously erased in order to avoid programming errors.  
To perform a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase using the standard DataFlash page size  
(264 bytes), an opcode of 88h for Buffer 1 or 89h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address  
bytes comprised of 15 page address bits (PA14 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9  
dummy bits.  
To perform a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program using the binary page size (256 bytes), an opcode of 88h for Buffer  
1 or 89h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 dummy bit,  
15 page address bits (A22 - A8) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 8 dummy bits.

When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will program the data stored in the appropriate buffer into  
the specified page in the main memory. The page in main memory that is being programmed must have been previously  
erased using one of the erase commands (Page Erase, Block Erase, Sector Erase, or Chip Erase). The programming of  
the page is internally self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the  
Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent programming algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to program  
properly. If a programming error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.  
6.4  
Main Memory Page Program through Buffer with Built-In Erase  
The Main Memory Page Program through Buffer with Built-In Erase command combines the Buffer Write and Buffer to  
Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase operations into a single operation to help simplify application firmware  
development. With the Main Memory Page Program through Buffer with Built-In Erase command, data is first clocked  
into either Buffer 1 or Buffer 2, the addressed page in memory is then automatically erased, and then the contents of the  
appropriate buffer are programmed into the just-erased main memory page.  
To perform a Main Memory Page Program through Buffer using the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), an  
opcode of 82h for Buffer 1 or 85h for Buffer 2 must first be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes  
comprised of 15 page address bits (PA14 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 buffer  
address bits (BFA8 - BFA0) that select the first byte in the buffer to be written.  
To perform a Main Memory Page Program through Buffer using the binary page size (256 bytes), an opcode of 82h for  
Buffer 1 or 85h for Buffer 2 must first be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 dummy  
bit, 15 page address bits (A22 - A8) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 8 buffer address bits  
(BFA7 - BFA0) that select the first byte in the buffer to be written.  
After all address bytes have been clocked in, the device will take data from the input pin (SI) and store it in the specified  
data buffer. If the end of the buffer is reached, the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. When  
there is a low-to-high transition on the CS pin, the device will first erase the selected page in main memory (the erased  
state is a Logic 1) and then program the data stored in the buffer into that main memory page. Both the erasing and the  
programming of the page are internally self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tEP. During this time, the  
RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase and programming algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to  
erase or program properly. If an erase or program error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.  
6.5  
Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 without Built-In Erase  
The Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 without Built-In Erase command combines both the Buffer Write  
and Buffer to Main Memory Program without Built-In Erase operations to allow any number of bytes (1 to 256/264 bytes)  
to be programmed directly into previously erased locations in the main memory array. With the Main Memory Byte/Page  
Program through Buffer 1 without Built-In Erase command, data is first clocked into Buffer 1, and then only the bytes  
clocked into the buffer are programmed into the pre-erased byte locations in main memory. Multiple bytes up to the page  
size can be entered with one command sequence.  
To perform a Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 using the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), an  
opcode of 02h must first be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 page address bits  
(PA14 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 buffer address bits (BFA8 - BFA0) that select  
the first byte in the buffer to be written. After all address bytes are clocked in, the device will take data from the input pin  
(SI) and store it in Buffer 1. Any number of bytes (1 to 264) can be entered. If the end of the buffer is reached, then the  
device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer.  
To perform a Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 using the binary page size (256 bytes), an opcode of  
02h for Buffer 1 using must first be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 dummy bit, 15  
page address bits (A22 - A8) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 8 buffer address bits (BFA7 -  
BFA0) that selects the first byte in the buffer to be written. After all address bytes are clocked in, the device will take data  
from the input pin (SI) and store it in Buffer 1. Any number of bytes (1 to 256) can be entered. If the end of the buffer is  
AT45DB641E  
DS-45DB641E-027L–DFLASH–8/2021  
11  
reached, then the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. When using the binary page size, the page  
and buffer address bits correspond to a 23-bit logical address (A22-A0) in the main memory.  
After all data bytes have been clocked into the device, a low-to-high transition on the CS pin will start the program  
operation in which the device will program the data stored in Buffer 1 into the main memory array. Only the data bytes  
that were clocked into the device will be programmed into the main memory.  
Example: If only two data bytes were clocked into the device, then only two bytes will be programmed into main  
memory and the remaining bytes in the memory page will remain in their previous state.  
The CS pin must be deasserted on a byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, the operation will be aborted and  
no data will be programmed. The programming of the data bytes is internally self-timed and should take place in a  
maximum time of tP (the program time will be a multiple of the tBP time depending on the number of bytes being  
programmed). During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent programming algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to program  
properly. If a programming error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.  
6.6  
Read-Modify-Write  
A completely self-contained read-modify-write operation can be performed to reprogram any number of sequential bytes  
in a page in the main memory array without affecting the rest of the bytes in the same page. This command allows the  
device to easily emulate an EEPROM by providing a method to modify a single byte or more in the main memory in a  
single operation, without the need for pre-erasing the memory or the need for any external RAM buffers. The  
Read-Modify-Write command is essentially a combination of the Main Memory Page to Buffer Transfer, Buffer Write, and  
Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-in Erase commands.  
To perform a Read-Modify-Write using the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), an opcode of 58h for Buffer 1 or  
59h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 page address bits  
(PA14 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 byte address bits (BA8 - BA0) that designate  
the starting byte address within the page to reprogram.  
To perform a Read-Modify-Write using the binary page size (256 bytes), an opcode of 58h for Buffer 1 or 59h for Buffer 2  
must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 dummy bit, 15 page address bits (A22 -  
A8) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 8 byte address bits (A7 - A0) designate the starting byte  
address within the page to reprogram.  
After the address bytes have been clocked in, any number of sequential data bytes from one to 256/264 bytes can be  
clocked into the device. If the end of the buffer is reached when clocking in the data, then the device will wrap around  
back to the beginning of the buffer. After all data bytes have been clocked into the device, a low-to-high transition on the  
CS pin will start the self-contained, internal read-modify-write operation. Only the data bytes that were clocked into the  
device will be reprogrammed in the main memory.  
Example: If only one data byte was clocked into the device, then only one byte in main memory will be reprogrammed  
and the remaining bytes in the main memory page will remain in their previous state.  
The CS pin must be deasserted on a byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, the operation will be aborted and  
no data will be programmed. The reprogramming of the data bytes is internally self-timed and should take place in a  
maximum time of tP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase and programming algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to  
erase or program properly. If an erase or program error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.  
Note:  
The Read-Modify-Write command uses the same opcodes as the Auto Page Rewrite command. If no data  
bytes are clocked into the device, then the device will perform an Auto Page Rewrite operation. See the  
Auto Page Rewrite command description on page 27 for more details.

6.7  
Page Erase  
The Page Erase command can be used to individually erase any page in the main memory array allowing the Buffer to  
Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase command or the Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1  
command to be utilized at a later time.  
To perform a Page Erase with the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), an opcode of 81h must be clocked into the  
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 page address bits (PA14 - PA0) that specify the page in the main  
memory to be erased, and 9 dummy bits.  
To perform a Page Erase with the binary page size (256 bytes), an opcode of 81h must be clocked into the device  
followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 dummy bit, 15 page address bits (A22 - A8) that specify the page in the  
main memory to be erased, and 8 dummy bits.  
When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will erase the selected page (the erased state is a  
Logic 1). The erase operation is internally self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tPE. During this time, the  
RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If  
an erase error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.  
6.8  
Block Erase  
The Block Erase command can be used to erase a block of eight pages at one time. This command is useful when  
needing to pre-erase larger amounts of memory and is more efficient than issuing eight separate Page Erase  
commands.  
To perform a Block Erase with the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), an opcode of 50h must be clocked into the  
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 12 page address bits (PA14 - PA3), and  
12 dummy bits. The 12 page address bits are used to specify which block of 8 pages is to be erased.  
To perform a Block Erase with the binary page size (256 bytes), an opcode of 50h must be clocked into the device  
followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 dummy bit, 12 page address bits (A22 - A11), and 11 dummy bits. The 12  
page address bits are used to specify which block of 8 pages is to be erased.  
When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will erase the selected block of eight pages. The erase  
operation is internally self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tBE. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in  
the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If  
an erase error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.

Sector Erase  
The Sector Erase command can be used to individually erase any sector in the main memory.  
The main memory array is comprised of thirty-three sectors, and only one sector can be erased at a time. To perform an  
erase of Sector 0a or Sector 0b with the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), an opcode of 7Ch must be clocked  
into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 12 page address bits (PA14 - PA3), and  
12 dummy bits. To perform a Sector 1-31 erase, an opcode of 7Ch must be clocked into the device followed by three  
address bytes comprised of 5 page address bits (PA14 - PA10), and 19 dummy bits.  
To perform a Sector 0a or Sector 0b erase with the binary page size (256 bytes), an opcode of 7Ch must be clocked into  
the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 1 dummy bit, 12 page address bits (A22 - A11), and  
11 dummy bits. To perform a Sector 1-31 erase, an opcode of 7Ch must be clocked into the device followed by 1 dummy  
bit, 5 page address bits (A22 - A18), and 18 dummy bits.  
The page address bits are used to specify any valid address location within the sector to be erased. When a  
low-to high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will erase the selected sector. The erase operation is internally  
self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tSE. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will  
indicate that the device is busy.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If an  
erase error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.

6.10 Chip Erase  
The Chip Erase command allows the entire main memory array to be erased can be erased at one time.  
To execute the Chip Erase command, a 4-byte command sequence of C7h, 94h, 80h, and 9Ah must be clocked into the  
device. Since the entire memory array is to be erased, no address bytes need to be clocked into the device, and any data  
clocked in after the opcode will be ignored. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin  
must be deasserted to start the erase process. The erase operation is internally self-timed and should take place in a  
time of tCE. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.  
The Chip Erase command will not affect sectors that are protected or locked down; the contents of those sectors will  
remain unchanged. Only those sectors that are not protected or locked down will be erased.  
AT45DB641E  
DS-45DB641E-027L–DFLASH–8/2021

The WP pin can be asserted while the device is erasing, but protection will not be activated until the internal erase cycle  
completes.  
The device also incorporates an intelligent algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If an  
erase error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.

6.11 Program/Erase Suspend  
In some code and data storage applications, it may not be possible for the system to wait the milliseconds required for  
the Flash memory to complete a program or erase cycle. The Program/Erase Suspend command allows a program or  
erase operation in progress to a particular 256KB sector of the main memory array to be suspended so that other device  
operations can be performed.  
Example: By suspending an erase operation to a particular sector, the system can perform functions such as a  
program or read operation within a different 256KB sector. Other device operations, such as Read Status  
Register, can also be performed while a program or erase operation is suspended.  
To perform a Program/Erase Suspend, an opcode of B0h must be clocked into the device. No address bytes need to be  
clocked into the device, and any data clocked in after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS pin is deasserted, the  
program or erase operation currently in progress will be suspended within a time of tSUSP. One of the Program Suspend  
bits (PS1 or PS2) or the Erase Suspend bit (ES) in the Status Register will then be set to the Logic 1 state. In addition,  
the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is ready for another operation.  
Read operations are not allowed to a 256KB sector that has had its program or erase operation suspended. If a read is  
attempted to a suspended sector, then the device will output undefined data. Therefore, when performing a Continuous  
Array Read operation and the device's internal address counter increments and crosses the sector boundary to a  
suspended sector, the device will then start outputting undefined data continuously until the address counter increments  
and crosses a sector boundary to an unsuspended sector.  
A program operation is not allowed to a sector that has been erase suspended. If a program operation is attempted to an  
erase suspended sector, then the program operation will abort.  
During an Erase Suspend, a program operation to a different 256KB sector can be started and subsequently suspended.  
This results in a simultaneous Erase Suspend/Program Suspend condition and will be indicated by the states of both the  
ES and PS1 or PS2 bits in the Status Register being set to a Logic 1.  
If a Reset command is performed, or if the RESET pin is asserted while a sector is erase suspended, then the suspend  
operation will be aborted and the contents of the sector will be left in an undefined state. However, if a reset is performed  
while a page is program or erase suspended, the suspend operation will abort but only the contents of the page that was  
being programmed or erased will be undefined; the remaining pages in the 256KB sector will retain their previous  
contents.

6.12 Program/Erase Resume  
The Program/Erase Resume command allows a suspended program or erase operation to be resumed and continue  
where it left off.  
To perform a Program/Erase Resume, an opcode of D0h must be clocked into the device. No address bytes need to be  
clocked into the device, and any data clocked in after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS pin is deasserted, the  
program or erase operation currently suspended will be resumed within a time of tRES. The PS1 bit, PS2 bit, or ES bit in  
the Status Register will then be reset back to a Logic 0 state to indicate that the program or erase operation is no longer  
suspended. In addition, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy performing a  
program or erase operation.  
During a simultaneous Erase Suspend/Program Suspend condition, issuing the Program/Erase Resume command will  
result in the program operation resuming first. After the program operation has been completed, the Program/Erase  
Resume command must be issued again in order for the erase operation to be resumed.  
While the device is busy resuming a program or erase operation, any attempts at issuing the Program/Erase Suspend  
command will be ignored. Therefore, if a resumed program or erase operation needs to be subsequently suspended  
again, the system must either wait the entire tRES time before issuing the Program/Erase Suspend command, or it must  
check the status of the RDY/BUSY bit or the appropriate PS1, PS2, or ES bit in the Status Register to determine if the  
previously suspended program or erase operation has resumed.

Sector Protection  
Two protection methods, hardware and software controlled, are provided for protection against inadvertent or erroneous  
program and erase cycles. The software controlled method relies on the use of software commands to enable and  
disable sector protection while the hardware controlled method employs the use of the Write Protect (WP) pin. The  
selection of which sectors that are to be protected or unprotected against program and erase operations is specified in  
the Nonvolatile Sector Protection Register. The status of whether or not sector protection has been enabled or disabled  
by either the software or the hardware controlled methods can be determined by checking the Status Register.  
7.1  
Software Sector Protection  
Software controlled protection is useful in applications in which the WP pin is not or cannot be controlled by a host  
processor. In such instances, the WP pin may be left floating (the WP pin is internally pulled high) and sector protection  
can be controlled using the Enable Sector Protection and Disable Sector Protection commands.  
If the device is power cycled, then the software controlled protection will be disabled. Once the device is powered up, the  
Enable Sector Protection command should be reissued if sector protection is desired and if the WP pin is not used.  
7.1.1 Enable Sector Protection  
Sectors specified for protection in the Sector Protection Register can be protected from program and erase operations by  
issuing the Enable Sector Protection command. To enable the sector protection, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh,  
2Ah, 7Fh, and A9h must be clocked into the device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the  
CS pin must be deasserted to enable the Sector Protection.

To disable the sector protection, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 7Fh, and 9Ah must be clocked into the  
device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to disable the  
sector protection.

7.2  
Hardware Controlled Protection  
Sectors specified for protection in the Sector Protection Register and the Sector Protection Register itself can be  
protected from program and erase operations by asserting the WP pin and keeping the pin in its asserted state. The  
Sector Protection Register and any sector specified for protection cannot be erased or programmed as long as the WP  
pin is asserted. In order to modify the Sector Protection Register, the WP pin must be deasserted. If the WP pin is  
permanently connected to GND, then the contents of the Sector Protection Register cannot be changed. If the WP pin is  
deasserted or permanently connected to VCC, then the contents of the Sector Protection Register can be modified.  
The WP pin will override the software controlled protection method but only for protecting the sectors.  
Example: If the sectors were not previously protected by the Enable Sector Protection command, then simply  
asserting the WP pin would enable the sector protection within the maximum specified tWPE time. When the  
WP pin is deasserted, however, the sector protection would no longer be enabled (after the maximum  
specified tWPD time) as long as the Enable Sector Protection command was not issued while the WP pin was  
asserted. If the Enable Sector Protection command was issued before or while the WP pin was asserted,  
then simply deasserting the WP pin would not disable the sector protection. In this case, the Disable Sector  
Protection command would need to be issued while the WP pin is deasserted to disable the sector  
protection. The Disable Sector Protection command is also ignored whenever the WP pin is asserted.  
A noise filter is incorporated to help protect against spurious noise that may inadvertently assert or deassert the WP pin.  
Figures 7-3 and Table 7-3 detail the sector protection status for various scenarios of the WP pin, the Enable Sector  
Protection command, and the Disable Sector Protection command.

Sector Protection Register  
The nonvolatile Sector Protection Register specifies which sectors are to be protected or unprotected with either the  
software or hardware controlled protection methods. The Sector Protection Register contains thirty two bytes of data, of  
which byte locations zero through thirty one contain values that specify whether Sectors 0 through 31 will be protected or  
unprotected. The Sector Protection Register is user modifiable and must be erased before it can be reprogrammed.  
Table 7-4 illustrates the format of the Sector Protection Register.

7.3.1 Erase Sector Protection Register  
In order to modify and change the values of the Sector Protection Register, it must first be erased using the Erase Sector  
Protection Register command.  
To erase the Sector Protection Register, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 7Fh, and CFh must be clocked into  
the device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the  
internally self-timed erase cycle. The erasing of the Sector Protection Register should take place in a maximum time of  
tPE. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is  
powered-down before the completion of the erase cycle, then the contents of the Sector Protection Register cannot be  
guaranteed.  
The Sector Protection Register can be erased with sector protection enabled or disabled. Since the erased state (FFh) of  
each byte in the Sector Protection Register is used to indicate that a sector is specified for protection, leaving the sector  
protection enabled during the erasing of the register allows the protection scheme to be more effective in the prevention  
of accidental programming or erasing of the device. If for some reason an erroneous program or erase command is sent  
to the device immediately after erasing the Sector Protection Register and before the register can be reprogrammed,  
then the erroneous program or erase command will not be processed because all sectors would be protected.

7.3.2 Program Sector Protection Register  
Once the Sector Protection Register has been erased, it can be reprogrammed using the Program Sector Protection  
Register command.  
To program the Sector Protection Register, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 7Fh, and FCh must be clocked  
into the device followed by thirty two bytes of data corresponding to Sectors 0 through 31. After the last bit of the opcode  
sequence and data have been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed program  
cycle. The programming of the Sector Protection Register should take place in a maximum time of tP. During this time,  
the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is powered-down before the  
completion of the erase cycle, then the contents of the Sector Protection Register cannot be guaranteed.  
If the proper number of data bytes is not clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, then the protection status of the  
sectors corresponding to the bytes not clocked in cannot be guaranteed.  
Example: If only the first two bytes are clocked in instead of the complete thirty two bytes, then the protection status of  
the last thirty sectors cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, if more than thirty two bytes of data is clocked into  
the device, then the data will wrap back around to the beginning of the register. For instance, if thirty three  
bytes of data are clocked in, then the thirty third byte will be stored at byte location 0 of the Sector Protection  
Register.  
The data bytes clocked into the Sector Protection Register need to be valid values (0xh, 3xh, Cxh, and Fxh for Sector 0a  
or Sector 0b, and 00h or FFh for other sectors) in order for the protection to function correctly. If a non-valid value is  
clocked into a byte location of the Sector Protection Register, then the protection status of the sector corresponding to  
that byte location cannot be guaranteed.  
Example: If a value of 17h is clocked into byte location 2 of the Sector Protection Register, then the protection status  
of Sector 2 cannot be guaranteed.  
The Sector Protection Register can be reprogrammed while the sector protection is enabled or disabled. Being able to  
reprogram the Sector Protection Register with the sector protection enabled allows the user to temporarily disable the  
sector protection to an individual sector rather than disabling sector protection completely.  
The Program Sector Protection Register command utilizes Buffer 1 for processing. Therefore, the contents of Buffer 1  
will be altered from its previous state when this command is issued.

7.3.3 Read Sector Protection Register  
To read the Sector Protection Register, an opcode of 32h and three dummy bytes must be clocked into the device. After  
the last bit of the opcode and dummy bytes have been clocked in, any additional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result  
in the Sector Protection Register contents being output on the SO pin. The first byte (byte location 0) corresponds to  
Sector 0 (0a and 0b), the second byte corresponds to Sector 1, and the last byte (byte location 31) corresponds to  
Sector 31. Once the last byte of the Sector Protection Register has been clocked out, any additional clock pulses will  
result in undefined data being output on the SO pin. The CS pin must be deasserted to terminate the Read Sector  
Protection Register operation and put the output into a high-impedance state.

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

Security Features  
8.1  
Sector Lockdown  
The device incorporates a sector lockdown mechanism that allows each individual sector to be permanently locked so  
that it becomes read-only (ROM). This is useful for applications that require the ability to permanently protect a number of  
sectors against malicious attempts at altering program code or security information.  
Warning:  
Once a sector is locked down, it can never be erased or programmed, and it can never be unlocked.  
To issue the sector lockdown command, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 7Fh, and 30h must be clocked into  
the device followed by three address bytes specifying any address within the sector to be locked down. After the last  
address bit has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed lockdown sequence.  
The lockdown sequence should take place in a maximum time of tP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status  
Register will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is powered-down before the completion of the lockdown  
sequence, then the lockdown status of the sector cannot be guaranteed. In this case, it is recommended that the user  
read the Sector Lockdown Register to determine the status of the appropriate sector lockdown bits or bytes and re-issue  
the Sector Lockdown command if necessary.

8.1.1 Read Sector Lockdown Register  
The nonvolatile Sector Lockdown Register specifies which sectors in the main memory are currently unlocked or have  
been permanently locked down. The Sector Lockdown Register is a read-only register and contains thirty two bytes of  
data which correspond to Sectors 0 through 31. To read the Sector Lockdown Register, an opcode of 35h must be  
clocked into the device followed by three dummy bytes. After the last bit of the opcode and dummy bytes have been  
clocked in, the data for the contents of the Sector Lockdown Register will be clocked out on the SO pin. The first byte  
(byte location 0) corresponds to Sector 0 (0a and 0b), the second byte corresponds to Sector 1, and the last byte (byte  
location 31) corresponds to Sector 31. After the last byte of the Sector Lockdown Register has been read, additional  
pulses on the SCK pin will result in undefined data being output on the SO pin.  
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Read Sector Lockdown Register operation and put the SO pin into a  
high-impedance state. Table 8-2 details the format the Sector Lockdown Register.

8.1.2 Freeze Sector Lockdown  
The Sector Lockdown command can be permanently disabled, and the current sector lockdown state can be  
permanently frozen so that no additional sectors can be locked down aside from those already locked down. Any  
attempts to issue the Sector Lockdown command after the Sector Lockdown State has been frozen will be ignored.  
To issue the Freeze Sector Lockdown command, the CS pin must be asserted and the opcode sequence of 34h, 55h,  
AAh, and 40h must be clocked into the device. Any additional data clocked into the device will be ignored. When the CS  
pin is deasserted, the current sector lockdown state will be permanently frozen within a time of tLOCK. In addition, the SLE  
bit in the Status Register will be permanently reset to a Logic 0 to indicate that the Sector Lockdown command is  
permanently disabled.

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

8.2.1 Programming the Security Register  
The user programmable portion of the Security Register does not need to be erased before it is programmed.  
To program the Security Register, a 4-byte opcode sequence of 9Bh, 00h, 00h, and 00h must be clocked into the device.  
After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked into the device, the data for the contents of the 64-byte user  
programmable portion of the Security Register must be clocked in.  
After the last data byte has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed program  
cycle. The programming of the Security Register should take place in a time of tP, during which time the RDY/BUSY bit in  
the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is powered-down during the program cycle, then the  
contents of the 64-byte user programmable portion of the Security Register cannot be guaranteed.  
If the full 64 bytes of data are not clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, then the values of the byte locations not  
clocked in cannot be guaranteed.  
Example: If only the first two bytes are clocked in instead of the complete 64 bytes, then the remaining 62 bytes of the  
user programmable portion of the Security Register cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, if more than  
64 bytes of data is clocked into the device, then the data will wrap back around to the beginning of the  
register. For example, if 65 bytes of data are clocked in, then the 65th byte will be stored at byte location 0 of  
the Security Register.  
Warning:  
The user programmable portion of the Security Register can only be programmed one time.  
Therefore, it is not possible, for example, to only program the first two bytes of the register and then program  
the remaining 62 bytes at a later time.  
The Program Security Register command utilizes Buffer 1 for processing. Therefore, the contents of  
Buffer 1 will be altered from its previous state when this command is issued.

byte of the Security Register has been read, additional pulses on the SCK pin will result in undefined data being output

the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), an opcode of 53h for Buffer 1 or 55h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the  
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 page address bits (PA14 - PA0) which specify the page in main  
memory to be transferred, and 9 dummy bits. To transfer a page of data using the binary page size (256 bytes), an  
opcode of 53h for Buffer 1 and 55h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes  
comprised of 1 dummy bit, 15 page address bits (A22 - A8) which specify the page in the main memory to be transferred,  
and 8 dummy bits.  
The CS pin must be low while toggling the SCK pin to load the opcode and the three address bytes from the input pin  
(SI). The transfer of the page of data from the main memory to the buffer will begin when the CS pin transitions from a  
low to a high state. During the page transfer time (tXFR), the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register can be read to  
determine whether or not the transfer has been completed.  
9.2  
Main Memory Page to Buffer Compare  
A page of data in main memory can be compared to the data in Buffer 1 or Buffer 2 as a method to ensure that data was  
successfully programmed after a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program command. To compare a page of data with the  
standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), an opcode of 60h for Buffer 1 or 61h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the  
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 page address bits (PA14 - PA0) which specify the page in the  
main memory to be compared to the buffer, and 9 dummy bits. To compare a page of data with the binary page size (256  
bytes), an opcode of 60h for Buffer 1 or 61h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes  
comprised of 1 dummy bit, 15 page address bits (A22 - A8) which specify the page in the main memory to be compared  
to the buffer, and 8 dummy bits.  
The CS pin must be low while toggling the SCK pin to load the opcode and the address bytes from the input pin (SI). On  
the low-to-high transition of the CS pin, the data bytes in the selected Main Memory Page will be compared with the data  
bytes in Buffer 1 or Buffer 2. During the compare time (tCOMP), the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that  
the part is busy. On completion of the compare operation, bit 6 of the Status Register will be updated with the result of the  
compare.  
9.3  
Auto Page Rewrite  
This command only needs to be used if the possibility exists that static (non-changing) data may be stored in a page or  
pages of a sector and the other pages of the same sector are erased and programmed a large number of times.  
Applications that modify data in a random fashion within a sector may fall into this category. To preserve data integrity of  
a sector, each page within a sector must be updated/rewritten at least once within every 50,000 cumulative page  
erase/program operations within that sector. The Auto Page Rewrite command provides a simple and efficient method to  
“refresh” a page in the main memory array in a single operation.  
The Auto Page Rewrite command is a combination of the Main Memory Page to Buffer Transfer and Buffer to Main  
Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase commands. With the Auto Page Rewrite command, a page of data is first  
transferred from the main memory to Buffer 1 or Buffer 2 and then the same data (from Buffer 1 or Buffer 2) is  
programmed back into the same page of main memory, essentially “refreshing” the contents of that page. To start the  
Auto Page Rewrite operation with the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), a 1-byte opcode, 58H for Buffer 1 or  
59H for Buffer 2, must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 15 page address bits  
(PA14-PA0) that specify the page in main memory to be rewritten, and 9 dummy bits.  
AT45DB641E  
DS-45DB641E-027L–DFLASH–8/2021  
27  
To initiate an Auto Page Rewrite with the a binary page size (256 bytes), the opcode 58H for Buffer 1 or 59H for Buffer 2,  
must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes consisting of 1 dummy bit, 15 page address bits  
(A22 - A8) that specify the page in the main memory that is to be rewritten, and 8 dummy bits. When a low-to-high  
transition occurs on the CS pin, the part will first transfer data from the page in main memory to a buffer and then  
program the data from the buffer back into same page of main memory. The operation is internally self-timed and should  
take place in a maximum time of tEP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY Status Register will indicate that the part is busy.  
If a sector is programmed or reprogrammed sequentially page by page and the possibility does not exist that there will be  
a page or pages of static data, then the programming algorithm shown in Figure 26-1 on page 61 is recommended.  
Otherwise, if there is a chance that there may be a page or pages of a sector that will contain static data, then the  
programming algorithm shown in Figure 26-2 on page 62 is recommended. Please contact Adesto for availability of  
devices that are specified to exceed the 50,000 cycle cumulative limit.  
Note:  
The Auto Page Rewrite command uses the same opcodes as the Read-Modify-Write command. If data  
bytes are clocked into the device, then the device will perform a Read-Modify-Write operation. See the  
Read-Modify-Write command description on page 12 for more details.  
9.4  
Status Register Read  
The 2-byte Status Register can be used to determine the device's ready/busy status, page size, a Main Memory Page to  
Buffer Compare operation result, the sector protection status, Freeze Sector Lockdown status, erase/program error  
status, Program/Erase Suspend status, and the device density. The Status Register can be read at any time, including  
during an internally self-timed program or erase operation.  
To read the Status Register, the CS pin must first be asserted and then the opcode D7h must be clocked into the device.  
After the opcode has been clocked in, the device will begin outputting Status Register data on the SO pin during every  
subsequent clock cycle. After the second byte of the Status Register has been clocked out, the sequence will repeat  
itself, starting again with the first byte of the Status Register, as long as the CS pin remains asserted and the clock pin is  
being pulsed. The data in the Status Register is constantly being updated, so each repeating sequence may output new  
data. The RDY/BUSY status is available for both bytes of the Status Register and is updated for each byte.  
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Status Register Read operation and put the SO pin into a high-impedance  
state. The CS pin can be deasserted at any time and does not require that a full byte of data be read.

9.4.1 RDY/BUSY Bit  
The RDY/BUSY bit is used to determine whether or not an internal operation, such as a program or erase, is in progress.  
To poll the RDY/BUSY bit to detect the completion of an internally timed operation, new Status Register data must be  
continually clocked out of the device until the state of the RDY/BUSY bit changes from a Logic 0 to a Logic 1.  
9.4.2 COMP Bit  
The result of the most recent Main Memory Page to Buffer Compare operation is indicated using the COMP bit. If the  
COMP bit is a Logic 1, then at least one bit of the data in the Main Memory Page does not match the data in the buffer.  
9.4.3 DENSITY Bits  
The device density is indicated using the DENSITY bits. For the AT45DB641E, the four bit binary value is 1111. The  
decimal value of these four binary bits does not actually equate to the device density; the four bits represent a  
combinational code relating to differing densities of DataFlash devices. The DENSITY bits are not the same as the  
density code indicated in the JEDEC Device ID information. The DENSITY bits are provided only for backward  
compatibility to older generation DataFlash devices.  
9.4.4 PROTECT Bit  
The PROTECT bit provides information to the user on whether or not the sector protection has been enabled or disabled,  
either by the software-controlled method or the hardware-controlled method.  
9.4.5 PAGE SIZE Bit  
The PAGE SIZE bit indicates whether the buffer size and the page size of the main memory array is configured for the  
“power of 2” binary page size (256 bytes) or the standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes).

9.4.6 EPE Bit  
The EPE bit indicates whether the last erase or program operation completed successfully or not. If at least one byte  
during the erase or program operation did not erase or program properly, then the EPE bit will be set to the Logic 1 state.  
The EPE bit will not be set if an erase or program operation aborts for any reason, such as an attempt to erase or  
program a protected region or a locked down sector or an attempt to erase or program a suspended sector. The EPE bit  
is updated after every erase and program operation.  
9.4.7 SLE Bit  
The SLE bit indicates whether or not the Sector Lockdown command is enabled or disabled. If the SLE bit is a Logic 1,  
then the Sector Lockdown command is still enabled and sectors can be locked down. If the SLE bit is a Logic 0, then the  
Sector Lockdown command has been disabled and no further sectors can be locked down.  
9.4.8 PS2 Bit  
The PS2 bit indicates if a program operation has been suspended while using Buffer 2. If the PS2 bit is a Logic 1, then a  
program operation has been suspended while Buffer 2 was being used, and any command attempts that would modify  
the contents of Buffer 2 will be ignored.  
9.4.9 PS1 Bit  
The PS1 bit indicates if a program operation has been suspended while using Buffer 1. If the PS1 bit is a Logic 1, then a  
program operation has been suspended while Buffer 1 was being used, and any command attempts that would modify  
the contents of Buffer 1 will be ignored.  
9.4.10 The ES bit  
The ES bit indicates whether or not an erase has been suspended. If the ES bit is a Logic 1, then an erase operation  
(page, block, sector, or chip) has been suspended.

10. Deep Power-Down  
During normal operation, the device will be placed in the standby mode to consume less power as long as the CS pin  
remains deasserted and no internal operation is in progress. The Deep Power-Down command offers the ability to place  
the device into an even lower power consumption state called the Deep Power-Down mode.  
When the device is in the Deep Power-Down mode, all commands including the Status Register Read command will be  
ignored with the exception of the Resume from Deep Power-Down command. Since all commands will be ignored, the  
mode can be used as an extra protection mechanism against program and erase operations.  
Entering the Deep Power-Down mode is accomplished by simply asserting the CS pin, clocking in the opcode B9h, and  
then deasserting the CS pin. Any additional data clocked into the device after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS  
pin is deasserted, the device will enter the Deep Power-Down mode within the maximum time of tEDPD  
.
The complete opcode must be clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, and the CS pin must be deasserted on an  
even byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, the device will abort the operation and return to the standby mode  
once the CS pin is deasserted. In addition, the device will default to the standby mode after a power cycle.  
The Deep Power-Down command will be ignored if an internally self-timed operation such as a program or erase cycle is  
in progress. The Deep Power-Down command must be reissued after the internally self-timed operation has been  
completed in order for the device to enter the Deep Power-Down mode.

10.1 Resume from Deep Power-Down  
In order to exit the Deep Power-Down mode and resume normal device operation, the Resume from Deep Power-Down  
command must be issued. The Resume from Deep Power-Down command is the only command that the device will  
recognize while in the Deep Power-Down mode.  
To resume from the Deep Power-Down mode, the CS pin must first be asserted and then the opcode ABh must be  
clocked into the device. Any additional data clocked into the device after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS pin is  
deasserted, the device will exit the Deep Power-Down mode and return to the standby mode within the maximum time of  
t
RDPD. After the device has returned to the standby mode, normal command operations such as Continuous Array Read  
can be resumed.  
If the complete opcode is not clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, or if the CS pin is not deasserted on an even  
byte boundary (multiples of eight bits), then the device will abort the operation and return to the Deep Power-Down  
mode.

10.2 Ultra-Deep Power-Down  
The Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode allows the device to consume far less power compared to the standby and Deep  
Power-Down modes by shutting down additional internal circuitry. Since almost all active circuitry is shutdown in this  
mode to conserve power, the contents of the SRAM buffers cannot be maintained. Therefore, any data stored in the  
SRAM buffers will be lost once the device enters the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode.  
When the device is in the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode, all commands including the Status Register Read and Resume  
from Deep Power-Down commands will be ignored. Since all commands will be ignored, the mode can be used as an  
extra protection mechanism against program and erase operations.  
Entering the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode is accomplished by simply asserting the CS pin, clocking in the opcode 79h,  
and then deasserting the CS pin. Any additional data clocked into the device after the opcode will be ignored. When the  
CS pin is deasserted, the device will enter the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode within the maximum time of tEUDPD  
.
The complete opcode must be clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, and the CS pin must be deasserted on an  
even byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, the device will abort the operation and return to the standby mode  
once the CS pin is deasserted. In addition, the device will default to the standby mode after a power cycle.  
The Ultra-Deep Power-Down command will be ignored if an internally self-timed operation such as a program or erase  
cycle is in progress. The Ultra-Deep Power-Down command must be reissued after the internally self-timed operation  
has been completed in order for the device to enter the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode.

10.2.1 Exit Ultra-Deep Power-Down  
To exit from the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode, the CS pin must simply be pulsed by asserting the CS pin, waiting the  
minimum necessary tCSLU time, and then deasserting the CS pin again. To facilitate simple software development, a  
dummy byte opcode can also be entered while the CS pin is being pulsed just as in a normal operation like the Program  
Suspend operation; the dummy byte opcode is simply ignored by the device in this case. After the CS pin has been  
deasserted, the device will exit from the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode and return to the standby mode within a  
maximum time of tXUDPD. If the CS pin is reasserted before the tXUDPD time has elapsed in an attempt to start a new  
operation, then that operation will be ignored and nothing will be performed. The system must wait for the device to return  
to the standby mode before normal command operations such as Continuous Array Read can be resumed.  
Since the contents of the SRAM buffers cannot be maintained while in the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode, the SRAM  
buffers will contain undefined data when the device returns to the standby mode.

11. Buffer and Page Size Configuration  
The memory array of DataFlash devices is actually larger than other Serial Flash devices in that extra user-accessible  
bytes are provided in each page of the memory array. For the AT45DB641E, there are an extra eight bytes of memory in  
each page for a total of an extra 256KB (2-Mbits) of user-accessible memory.  
Some applications, however, may not want to take advantage of this extra memory and instead architect their software to  
operate on a “power of 2” binary, logical addressing scheme. To allow this, the DataFlash can be configured so that the  
buffer and page sizes are 256 bytes instead of the standard 264 bytes. In addition, the configuration of the buffer and  
page sizes is reversible and can be changed from 264 bytes to 256 bytes or from 256 bytes to 264 bytes. The configured  
setting is stored in an internal nonvolatile register so that the buffer and page size configuration is not affected by power  
cycles. The nonvolatile register has a limit of 10,000 erase/program cycles; therefore, care should be taken to not switch  
between the size options more than 10,000 times.  
Devices are initially shipped from Adesto with the buffer and page sizes set to 264 bytes. Devices can be ordered from  
Adesto pre-configured for the “power of 2” binary size of 256 bytes. For details, see Section 27., Ordering Information  
(Standard DataFlash Page Size) on page 63.  
To configure the device for “power of 2” binary page size (256 bytes), a 4-byte opcode sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 80h, and  
A6h must be clocked into the device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be  
deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed configuration process and nonvolatile register program cycle. The  
programming of the nonvolatile register should take place in a time of tEP, during which time the RDY/BUSY bit in the  
Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. The device does not need to be power cycled after the completion of  
the configuration process and register program cycle in order for the buffer and page size to be configured to 256 bytes.  
To configure the device for standard DataFlash page size (264 bytes), a 4-byte opcode sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 80h, and  
A7h must be clocked into the device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be  
deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed configuration process and nonvolatile register program cycle. The  
programming of the nonvolatile register should take place in a time of tEP, during which time the RDY/BUSY bit in the  
Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. The device does not need to be power cycled after the completion of  
the configuration process and register program cycle in order for the buffer and page size to be configured to 264 bytes.

12. Manufacturer and Device ID Read  
Identification information can be read from the device to enable systems to electronically query and identify the device  
while it is in the system. The identification method and the command opcode comply with the JEDEC Standard for  
“Manufacturer and Device ID Read Methodology for SPI Compatible Serial Interface Memory Devices”. The type of  
information that can be read from the device includes the JEDEC-defined Manufacturer ID, the vendor-specific  
Device ID, and the vendor-specific Extended Device Information.  
The Read Manufacturer and Device ID command is limited to a maximum clock frequency of fCLK. Since not all Flash  
devices are capable of operating at very high clock frequencies, applications should be designed to read the  
identification information from the devices at a reasonably low clock frequency to ensure that all devices to be used in the  
application can be identified properly. Once the identification process is complete, the application can then increase the  
clock frequency to accommodate specific Flash devices that are capable of operating at the higher clock frequencies.  
To read the identification information, the CS pin must first be asserted and then the opcode 9Fh must be clocked into  
the device. After the opcode has been clocked in, the device will begin outputting the identification data on the SO pin  
during the subsequent clock cycles. The first byte to be output will be the Manufacturer ID, followed by two bytes of the  
Device ID information. The fourth byte output will be the Extended Device Information (EDI) String Length, which will be  
01h indicating that one byte of EDI data follows. After the one byte of EDI data is output, the SO pin will go into a  
high-impedance state; therefore, additional clock cycles will have no affect on the SO pin and no data will be output. As  
indicated in the JEDEC Standard, reading the EDI String Length and any subsequent data is optional.  
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Manufacturer and Device ID Read operation and put the SO pin into a  
high-impedance state. The CS pin can be deasserted at any time and does not require that a full byte of data be read.

13. Software Reset  
In some applications, it may be necessary to prematurely terminate a program or erase cycle early rather than wait the  
hundreds of microseconds or milliseconds necessary for the program or erase operation to complete normally. The  
Software Reset command allows a program or erase operation in progress to be ended abruptly and returns the device  
to an idle state.  
To perform a Software Reset, the CS pin must be asserted and a 4-byte command sequence of F0h, 00h, 00h, and 00h  
must be clocked into the device. Any additional data clocked into the device after the last byte will be ignored. When the  
CS pin is deasserted, the program or erase operation currently in progress will be terminated within a time tSWRST. Since  
the program or erase operation may not complete before the device is reset, the contents of the page being programmed  
or erased cannot be guaranteed to be valid.  
The Software Reset command has no effect on the states of the Sector Protection Register, the Sector Lockdown  
Register, or the buffer and page size configuration. The PS2, PS1, and ES bits of the Status Register, however, will be  
reset back to their default states. If a Software Reset operation is performed while a sector is erase suspended, the  
suspend operation will abort and the contents of the page or block being erased in the suspended sector will be left in an  
undefined state. If a Software Reset is performed while a sector is program suspended, the suspend operation will abort  
and the contents of the page that was being programmed and subsequently suspended will be undefined. The remaining  
pages in the sector will retain their previous contents.  
The complete 4-byte opcode must be clocked into the device before the CS pin is deasserted, and the CS pin must be  
deasserted on a byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, no reset operation will be performed.

14. Operation Mode Summary  
The commands described previously can be grouped into four different categories to better describe which commands  
can be executed at what times.  
Group A commands consist of:  
1. Main Memory Page Read  
2. Continuous Array Read (SPI)  
3. Read Sector Protection Register  
4. Read Sector Lockdown Register  
5. Read Security Register  
6. Buffer 1 (or 2) Read  
Group B commands consist of:  
1. Page Erase  
2. Block Erase  
3. Sector Erase  
4. Chip Erase  
5. Main Memory Page to Buffer 1 (or 2) Transfer  
6. Main Memory Page to Buffer 1 (or 2) Compare  
7. Buffer 1 (or 2) to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase  
8. Buffer 1 (or 2) to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase  
9. Main Memory Page Program through Buffer 1 (or 2) with Built-In Erase  
10. Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 without Built-In Erase  
11. Auto Page Rewrite  
12. Read-Modify-Write  
Group C commands consist of:  
1. Buffer 1 (or 2) Write  
2. Status Register Read  
3. Manufacturer and Device ID Read  
Group D commands consist of:  
1. Erase Sector Protection Register  
2. Program Sector Protection Register  
3. Sector Lockdown  
4. Program Security Register  
5. Buffer and Page Size Configuration  
6. Freeze Sector Lockdown  
If a Group A command is in progress (not fully completed), then another command in Group A, B, C, or D should not be  
started. However, during the internally self-timed portion of Group B commands, any command in Group C can be  
executed. The Group B commands using Buffer 1 should use Group C commands using Buffer 2 and vice versa. Finally,  
during the internally self-timed portion of a Group D command, only the Status Register Read command should be  
executed.  
Most of the commands in Group B can be suspended and resumed, except the Buffer Transfer, Buffer Compare, Auto  
Page Rewrite and Read-Modify-Write operations. If a Group B command is suspended, all of the Group A commands  
can be executed. See Table 6-4 to determine which of the Group B, Group C, and Group D commands are allowed.

16. Power-On/Reset State  
When power is first applied to the device, or when recovering from a reset condition, the output pin (SO) will be in a high  
impedance state, and a high-to-low transition on the CSB pin will be required to start a valid instruction. The SPI mode  
(Mode 3 or Mode 0) will be automatically selected on every falling edge of CSB by sampling the inactive clock state.  
16.1 Power-Up/Power-Down Voltage and Timing Requirements  
During power-up, the device must not be READ for at least the minimum tVCSL time after the supply voltage reaches the  
minimum VPOR level (VPOR min). While the device is being powered-up, the internal Power-On Reset (POR) circuitry  
keeps the device in a reset mode until the supply voltage rises above the minimum Vcc. During this time, all operations  
are disabled and the device will not respond to any commands.  
If the first operation to the device after power-up will be a program or erase operation, then the operation cannot be  
started until the supply voltage reaches the minimum VCC level and an internal device delay has elapsed. This delay will  
be a maximum time of tPUW. After the tPUW time, the device will be in the standby mode if CSB is at logic high or active  
mode if CSB is at logic low. For the case of Power-down then Power-up operation, or if a power interruption occurs (such  
that VCC drops below VPOR max), the Vcc of the Flash device must be maintained below VPWD for at least the minimum  
specified TPWD time. This is to ensure the Flash device will reset properly after a power interruption.

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

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

22. AC Waveforms  
Four different timing waveforms are shown in Figure 22-1 through Figure 22-4. Waveform 1 shows the SCK signal being  
low when CS makes a high-to-low transition and Waveform 2 shows the SCK signal being high when CS makes a  
high-to-low transition. In both cases, output SO becomes valid while the SCK signal is still low (SCK low time is specified  
as tWL). Timing Waveforms 1 and 2 conform to RapidS serial interface but for frequencies up to 85MHz. Waveforms 1  
and 2 are compatible with SPI Mode 0 and SPI Mode 3, respectively.  
Waveform 3 and 4 illustrate general timing diagram for RapidS serial interface. These are similar to Waveform 1 and 2,  
except that output SO is not restricted to become valid during the tWL period. These timing waveforms are valid over the  
full frequency range (maximum frequency = 85MHz) of the RapidS serial case.

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

Notes: 1. To preserve data integrity, each page of an DataFlash sector must be updated/rewritten at least once within  
every 50,000 cumulative page erase and program operations.  
2. A page address pointer must be maintained to indicate which page is to be rewritten. The Auto Page  
Rewrite command must use the address specified by the page address pointer.  
3. Other algorithms can be used to rewrite portions of the Flash array. Low-power applications may choose to  
wait until 50,000 cumulative page erase and program operations have accumulated before rewriting all  
pages of the sector.
