The Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18) device with flexible multi-partition dual-operation  
architecture, provides high-performance Asynchronous and Synchronous Burst reads. It is an  
ideal memory for low-voltage burst CPUs. Combining high read performance with flash  
memory intrinsic non-volatility, the W18 device eliminates the traditional system-performance  
paradigm of shadowing redundant code memory from slow nonvolatile storage to faster  
execution memory. It reduces total memory requirement that increases reliability and reduces  
overall system power consumption and cost. The W18 device’s flexible multi-partition  
architecture allows program or erase to occur in one partition while reading from another  
partition. This allows for higher data write throughput compared to single-partition architectures  
and designers can choose code and data partition sizes. The dual-operation architecture allows  
two processors to interleave code operations while program and erase operations take place in  
the background.

Preliminary Datasheet  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
2.0 Functional Overview  
2.0  
Functional Overview  
This section provides an overview of the W18 device features and architecture.  
The W18 device provides Read-While-Write (RWW) and Read-White-Erase (RWE) capability  
with high-performance synchronous and asynchronous reads on package-compatible densities with  
a 16-bit data bus. Individually-erasable memory blocks are optimally sized for code and data  
storage. Eight 4-Kword parameter blocks are located in the parameter partition at either the top or  
bottom of the memory map. The rest of the memory array is grouped into 32-Kword main blocks.  
The memory architecture for the W18 device consists of multiple 4-Mbit partitions, the exact  
number depending on device density. By dividing the memory array into partitions, program or  
erase operations can take place simultaneously during read operations. Burst reads can traverse  
partition boundaries, but user application code is responsible for ensuring that they don’t extend  
into a partition that is actively programming or erasing. Although each partition has burst-read,  
write, and erase capabilities, simultaneous operation is limited to write or erase in one partition  
while other partitions are in a read mode.  
Augmented erase-suspend functionality further enhances the RWW capabilities of this device. An  
erase can be suspended to perform a program or read operation within any block, except that which  
is erase-suspended. A program operation nested within a suspended erase can subsequently be  
suspended to read yet another memory location.  
After device power-up or reset, the W18 device defaults to asynchronous page-mode read  
configuration. Writing to the device’s Read Configuration Register (RCR) enables synchronous  
burst-mode read operation. In synchronous mode, the CLK input increments an internal burst  
address generator. CLK also synchronizes the flash memory with the host CPU and outputs data on  
every, or on every other, valid CLK cycle after an initial latency. A programmable WAIT output  
signals to the CPU when data from the flash memory device is ready.  
In addition to its improved architecture and interface, the W18 device incorporates Enhanced  
Factory Programming (EFP), a feature that enables fast programming and low-power designs. The  
EFP feature provides the fastest currently-available program performance, which can increase a  
factory’s manufacturing throughput.  
The device supports read operations at 1.8 V and erase and program operations at 1.8 V or 12 V.  
With the 1.8-V option, VCC and VPP can be tied together for a simple, ultra-low-power design. In  
addition to voltage flexibility, the dedicated VPP input provides complete data protection when  
V
PP VPPLK.  
This device (130 nm and 180 nm) allows I/O operation at voltages even lower than the minimum  
VCCQ of 1.7 V. This Extended VCCQ range, 1.35 V – 1.8 V, permits even greater system design  
flexibility.  
A 128-bit protection register enhances the user’s ability to implement new security techniques and  
data protection schemes. Unique flash device identification and fraud-, cloning-, or content-  
protection schemes are possible through a combination of factory-programmed and user-OTP data  
cells. Zero-latency locking/unlocking on any memory block provides instant and complete  
protection for critical system code and data. An additional block lock-down capability provides  
hardware protection where software commands alone cannot change the block’s protection status.

Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
2.0 Functional Overview  
The Command User Interface (CUI) is the system processor’s link to internal flash memory  
operation. A valid command sequence written to the CUI initiates device Write State Machine  
(WSM) operation that automatically executes the algorithms, timings, and verifications necessary  
to manage flash memory program and erase. An internal Status Register provides ready/busy  
indication results of the operation (success, fail, and so on).  
Three power-saving features– Automatic Power Savings (APS), standby, and RST#– can  
significantly reduce power consumption. The device automatically enters APS mode following  
read cycle completion. Standby mode begins when the system deselects the flash memory by  
de-asserting CE#. Driving RST# low produces power savings similar to standby mode. It also  
resets the part to read-array mode (important for system-level reset), clears internal Status  
Registers, and provides an additional level of flash write protection.  
2.1  
Memory Map and Partitioning  
The W18 device is divided into 4-Mbit physical partitions, which allows simultaneous RWW or  
RWE operations and allows users to segment code and data areas on 4-Mbit boundaries. The  
device’s memory array is asymmetrically blocked, which enables system code and data integration  
within a single flash device. Each block can be erased independently in block erase mode.  
Simultaneous program and erase operations are not allowed; only one partition at a time can be  
actively programming or erasing. See Table 1, “Bottom Parameter Memory Map” on page 13 and  
Table 2, “Top Parameter Memory Map” on page 14.  
The 32-Mbit device has eight partitions, the 64-Mbit device has 16 partitions, and the 128-Mbit  
device has 32 partitions. Each device density contains one parameter partition and several main  
partitions. The 4-Mbit parameter partition contains eight 4-Kword parameter blocks and seven 32-  
Kword main blocks. Each 4-Mbit main partition contains eight 32-Kword blocks each.  
The bulk of the array is divided into main blocks that can store code or data, and parameter blocks  
that allow storage of frequently updated small parameters that are normally stored in EEPROM. By  
using software techniques, the word-rewrite functionality of EEPROMs can be emulated.

WAIT (shown asserted; RCR[10]=0) can be configured to assert either during, or one data cycle before, valid data.  
This waveform illustrates the case in which an x-word burst is initiated to the main array and it is terminated by a CE# de-  
assertion after the first word in the burst. If this access had been done to Status, ID, or Query reads, the asserted (low)  
WAIT signal would have remained asserted (low) as long as CE# is asserted (low).

Power and Reset Specifications  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18) devices have a layered approach to power savings that can  
significantly reduce overall system power consumption. The APS feature reduces power  
consumption when the device is selected but idle. If CE# is deasserted, the memory enters its  
standby mode, where current consumption is even lower. Asserting RST# provides current savings  
similar to standby mode. The combination of these features can minimize memory power  
consumption, and therefore, overall system power consumption.  
8.1  
8.2  
Active Power  
With CE# at VIL and RST# at VIH, the device is in the active mode. Refer to Section 6.1, “DC  
Current Characteristics” on page 28, for ICC values. When the device is in “active” state, it  
consumes the most power from the system. Minimizing device active current therefore reduces  
system power consumption, especially in battery-powered applications.  
Automatic Power Savings (APS)  
Automatic Power Saving (APS) provides low-power operation during a read’s active state. During  
APS mode, ICCAPS is the average current measured over any 5 ms time interval 5 µs after the  
following events happen:  
There is no internal sense activity;  
CE# is asserted;  
The address lines are quiescent, and at VSSQ or VCCQ  
.
OE# may be asserted during APS.  
8.3  
Standby Power  
With CE# at VIH and the device in read mode, the flash memory is in standby mode, which disables  
most device circuitry and substantially reduces power consumption. Outputs are placed in a high-  
impedance state independent of the OE# signal state. If CE# transitions to VIH during erase or  
52  
Preliminary Datasheet  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
8.0 Power and Reset Specifications  
program operations, the device continues the operation and consumes corresponding active power  
until the operation is complete. ICCS is the average current measured over any 5 ms time interval 5  
µs after a CE# de-assertion.  
8.4  
Power-Up/Down Characteristics  
The device is protected against accidental block erasure or programming during power transitions.  
Power supply sequencing is not required if VCC, VCCQ, and VPP are connected together; so it  
doesn’t matter whether VPP or VCC powers-up first. If VCCQ and/or VPP are not connected to the  
system supply, then VCC should attain VCCMIN before applying VCCQ and VPP. Device inputs  
should not be driven before supply voltage = VCCMIN. Power supply transitions should only occur  
when RST# is low.  
8.4.1  
System Reset and RST#  
The use of RST# during system reset is important with automated program/erase devices because  
the system expects to read from the flash memory when it comes out of reset. If a CPU reset occurs  
without a flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization will not occur because the flash memory  
may be providing status information instead of array data. To allow proper CPU/flash initialization  
at system reset, connect RST# to the system CPU RESET# signal.  
System designers must guard against spurious writes when VCC voltages are above VLKO  
.
Because both WE# and CE# must be low for a command write, driving either signal to VIH inhibits  
writes to the device. The CUI architecture provides additional protection because alteration of  
memory contents can only occur after successful completion of the two-step command sequences.  
The device is also disabled until RST# is brought to VIH, regardless of its control input states. By  
holding the device in reset (RST# connected to system PowerGood) during power-up/down,  
invalid bus conditions during power-up can be masked, providing yet another level of memory  
protection.  
8.4.2  
VCC, VPP, and RST# Transitions  
The CUI latches commands issued by system software and is not altered by VPP or CE# transitions  
or WSM actions. Read-array mode is its power-up default state after exit from reset mode or after  
VCC transitions above VLKO (Lockout voltage). After completing program or block erase  
operations (even after VPP transitions below VPPLK), the Read Array command must reset the CUI  
to read-array mode if flash memory array access is desired.  
8.5  
Power Supply Decoupling  
When the device is accessed, many internal conditions change. Circuits are enabled to charge  
pumps and switch voltages. This internal activity produces transient noise. To minimize the effect  
of this transient noise, device decoupling capacitors are required. Transient current magnitudes  
depend on the device outputs’ capacitive and inductive loading. Two-line control and proper  
decoupling capacitor selection suppresses these transient voltage peaks. Each flash device should  
have a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor connected between each power (VCC, VCCQ, VPP), and ground  
(VSS, VSSQ) signal. High-frequency, inherently low-inductance capacitors should be as close as  
possible to package signals.

Bus Operations Overview  
This section provides an overview of device bus operations. The Intel® Wireless Flash Memory  
(W18) family includes an on-chip WSM to manage block erase and program algorithms. Its  
Command User Interface (CUI) allows minimal processor overhead with RAM-like interface  
timings. Device commands are written to the CUI using standard microprocessor timings.

Bus Operations  
Bus cycles to/from the W18 device conform to standard microprocessor bus operations. Table 19

9.1.1  
Reads  
Device read operations are performed by placing the desired address on A[22:0] and asserting CE#  
and OE#. ADV# must be low, and WE# and RST# must be high. All read operations are  
independent of the voltage level on VPP.  
CE#-low selects the device and enables its internal circuits. OE#-low or WE#-low determine  
whether DQ[15:0] are outputs or inputs, respectively. OE# and WE# must not be low at the same  
time - indeterminate device operation will result.  
In asynchronous-page mode, the rising edge of ADV# can be used to latch the address. If only  
asynchronous read mode is used, ADV# can be tied to ground. CLK is not used in asynchronous-  
page mode and should be tied high.  
In synchronous-burst mode, ADV# is used to latch the initial address - either on the rising edge of  
ADV# or the rising (or falling) edge of CLK with ADV# low, whichever occurs first. CLK is used  
in synchronous-burst mode to increment the internal address counter, and to output read data on  
DQ[15:0].  
Each device partition can be placed in any of several read states:  
54  
Preliminary Datasheet  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
9.0 Bus Operations Overview  
Read Array: Returns flash array data from the addressed location.  
Read Identifier (ID): Returns manufacturer ID and device ID codes, block lock status, and  
protection register data. Read Identifier information can be accessed from any 4-Mbit partition  
base address.  
CFI Query: Returns Common Flash Interface (CFI) information. CFI information can be  
accessed starting at 4-Mbit partition base addresses.  
Read Status Register: Returns Status Register (SR) data from the addressed partition.  
The appropriate CUI command must be written to the partition in order to place it in the desired  
read state (see Table 20, “Command Codes and Descriptions” on page 57). Non-array read  
operations (Read ID, CFI Query, and Read Status Register) execute as single synchronous or  
asynchronous read cycles. WAIT is asserted throughout non-array read operations.  
9.1.2  
Writes  
Device write operations are performed by placing the desired address on A[22:0] and asserting  
CE# and WE#. OE# and RST# must be high. Data to be written at the desired address is placed on  
DQ[15:0]. ADV# must be held low throughout the write cycle or it can be toggled to latch the  
address. If ADV# is held low, the address and data are latched on the rising edge of WE#. CLK is  
not used during write operations, and is ignored; it can be either free-running or halted at VIL or  
VIH. All write operations are asynchronous.  
Table 20, “Command Codes and Descriptions” on page 57 shows the available device commands.  
Appendix A, “Write State Machine States” on page 92 provides information on moving between  
different device operations by using CUI commands.  
9.1.3  
9.1.4  
Output Disable  
When OE# is deasserted, device outputs DQ[15:0] are disabled and placed in a high-impedance  
(High-Z) state.  
Burst Suspend  
The Burst Suspend feature allows the system to temporarily suspend a synchronous-burst read  
operation. This can be useful if the system needs to access another device on the same address and  
data bus as the flash during a burst-read operation.  
Synchronous-burst accesses can be suspended during the initial latency (before data is received) or  
after the device has output data. When a burst access is suspended, internal array sensing continues  
and any previously latched internal data is retained.  
Burst Suspend occurs when CE# is asserted, the current address has been latched (either ADV#  
rising edge or valid CLK edge), CLK is halted, and OE# is deasserted. CLK can be halted when it  
is at VIH or VIL. To resume the burst access, OE# is reasserted and CLK is restarted. Subsequent  
CLK edges resume the burst sequence where it left off.  
Within the device, CE# gates WAIT. Therefore, during Burst Suspend WAIT is still driven. This  
can cause contention with another device attempting to control the system’s READY signal during  
a Burst Suspend. Systems using the Burst Suspend feature should not connect the device’s WAIT  
signal directly to the system’s READY signal. Refer to Figure 15, “Burst Suspend” on page 42.

9.0 Bus Operations Overview  
9.1.5  
9.1.6  
Standby  
De-asserting CE# deselects the device and places it in standby mode, substantially reducing device  
power consumption. In standby mode, outputs are placed in a high-impedance state independent of  
OE#. If deselected during a program or erase algorithm, the device shall consume active power  
until the program or erase operation completes.  
Reset  
The device enters a reset mode when RST# is asserted. In reset mode, internal circuitry is turned  
off and outputs are placed in a high-impedance state.  
After returning from reset, a time tPHQV is required until outputs are valid, and a delay (tPHWV) is  
required before a write sequence can be initiated. After this wake-up interval, normal operation is  
restored. The device defaults to read-array mode, the Status Register is set to 80h, and the  
Configuration Register defaults to asynchronous page-mode reads.  
If RST# is asserted during an erase or program operation, the operation aborts and the memory  
contents at the aborted block or address are invalid. See Figure 21, “Reset Operations Waveforms”  
on page 50 for detailed information regarding reset timings.  
Like any automated device, it is important to assert RST# during system reset. When the system  
comes out of reset, the processor expects to read from the flash memory array. Automated flash  
memories provide status information when read during program or erase operations. If a CPU reset  
occurs with no flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization may not occur because the flash  
memory may be providing status information instead of array data. Intel flash memories allow  
proper CPU initialization following a system reset through the use of the RST# input. In this  
application, RST# is controlled by the same CPU reset signal.  
9.2  
Device Commands  
The device’s on-chip WSM manages erase and program algorithms. This local CPU (WSM)  
controls the device’s in-system read, program, and erase operations. Bus cycles to or from the flash  
memory conform to standard microprocessor bus cycles. RST#, CE#, OE#, WE#, and ADV#  
control signals dictate data flow into and out of the device. WAIT informs the CPU of valid data  
during burst reads. Table 19, “Bus Operations Summary” on page 54 summarizes bus operations.  
Device operations are selected by writing specific commands into the device’s CUI. Table 20,  
“Command Codes and Descriptions” on page 57 lists all possible command codes and  
descriptions. Table 21, “Bus Cycle Definitions” on page 59 lists command definitions. Because  
commands are partition-specific, it is important to issue write commands within the target address  
range.

sequence error and places the partition in the read Status Register mode.  
Erase  
If the first command was Erase Setup (20h), the CUI latches address and data,  
and erases the block indicated by the erase confirm cycle address. During

Command Sequencing  
When issuing a 2-cycle write sequence to the flash device, a read operation is allowed to occur  
between the two write cycles. The setup phase of a 2-cycle write sequence places the addressed  
partition into read-status mode, so if the same partition is read before the second “confirm” write  
cycle is issued, Status Register data will be returned. Reads from other partitions, however, can  
return actual array data assuming the addressed partition is already in read-array mode. Figure 25  
on page 60 and Figure 26 on page 60 illustrate these two conditions.

Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
10.0 Read Operations  
10.0  
Read Operations  
The device supports two read modes - asynchronous page and synchronous burst mode.  
Asynchronous page mode is the default read mode after device power-up or a reset. The Read  
Configuration Register (RCR) must be configured to enable synchronous burst reads of the flash  
memory array (see Section 14.0, “Set Read Configuration Register” on page 83).  
Each partition of the device can be in any of four read states: Read Array, Read Identifier, Read  
Status or CFI Query. Upon power-up, or after a reset, all partitions of the device default to the Read  
Array state. To change a partition’s read state, the appropriate read command must be written to the  
device (see Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 56).  
The following sections describe device read modes and read states in detail.  
10.1  
Asynchronous Page Read Mode  
Following a device power-up or reset, asynchronous page mode is the default read mode and all  
partitions are set to Read Array. However, to perform array reads after any other device operation  
(e.g. write operation), the Read Array command must be issued in order to read from the flash  
memory array.  
Note:  
Asynchronous page-mode reads can only be performed when Read Configuration Register bit  
RCR[15] is set (see Section 14.0, “Set Read Configuration Register” on page 83).  
To perform an asynchronous page mode read, an address is driven onto A[MAX:0], and CE#, OE#  
and ADV# are asserted. WE# and RST# must be deasserted. WAIT is asserted during  
asynchronous page mode. ADV# can be driven high to latch the address, or it must be held low  
throughout the read cycle. CLK is not used for asynchronous page-mode reads, and is ignored. If  
only asynchronous reads are to be performed, CLK should be tied to a valid VIH level, WAIT  
signal can be floated and ADV# must be tied to ground. Array data is driven onto DQ[15:0] after  
an initial access time tAVQ V delay. (see Section 7.0, “AC Characteristics” on page 31).  
In asynchronous page mode, four data words are “sensed” simultaneously from the flash memory  
array and loaded into an internal page buffer. The buffer word corresponding to the initial address  
on A[MAX:0] is driven onto DQ[15:0] after the initial access delay. Address bits A[MAX:2] select  
the 4-word page. Address bits A[1:0] determine which word of the 4-word page is output from the  
data buffer at any given time.  
10.2  
Synchronous Burst Read Mode  
Section 14.0, “Set Read Configuration Register” on page 83continuous wordsTo perform a  
synchronous burst- read, an initial address is driven onto A[MAX:0], and CE# and OE# are  
asserted. WE# and RST# must be deasserted. ADV# is asserted, and then deasserted to latch the  
address. Alternately, ADV# can remain asserted throughout the burst access, in which case the  
address is latched on the next valid CLK edge after ADV# is asserted.  
Preliminary Datasheet  
61  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
10.0 Read Operations  
During synchronous array and non-array read modes, the first word is output from the data buffer  
on the next valid CLK edge after the initial access latency delay (see Section 14.2, “First Access  
Latency Count (RCR[13:11])” on page 85). Subsequent data is output on valid CLK edges  
following a minimum delay. However, for a synchronous non-array read, the same word of data  
will be output on successive clock edges until the burst length requirements are satisfied.  
Section 7.0, “AC Characteristics” on page 31  
10.3  
Read Array  
The Read Array command places (or resets) the partition in read-array mode and is used to read  
data from the flash memory array. Upon initial device power-up, or after reset (RST# transitions  
from VIL to VIH), all partitions default to asynchronous read-array mode. To read array data from  
the flash device, first write the Read Array command (FFh) to the CUI and specify the desired  
word address. Then read from that address. If a partition is already in read-array mode, issuing the  
Read Array command is not required to read from that partition.  
If the Read Array command is written to a partition that is erasing or programming, the device  
presents invalid data on the bus until the program or erase operation completes. After the program  
or erase finishes in that partition, valid array data can then be read. If an Erase Suspend or Program  
Suspend command suspends the WSM, a subsequent Read Array command places the addressed  
partition in read-array mode. The Read Array command functions independently of VPP.  
10.4  
Read Identifier  
The Read Identifier mode outputs the manufacturer/device identifier, block lock status, protection  
register codes, and Configuration Register data. The identifier information is contained within a  
separate memory space on the device and can be accessed along the 4-Mbit partition address range  
supplied by the Read Identifier command (90h) address. Reads from addresses in Table 22 retrieve  
ID information. Issuing a Read Identifier command to a partition that is programming or erasing  
places that partition’s outputs in read ID mode while the partition continues to program or erase in  
the background.

1.  
The address is constructed from a base address plus an offset. For example, to read the Block Lock  
Status for block number 38 in a BPD, set the address to the BBA (0F8000h) plus the offset (02h), i.e.  
0F8002h. Then examine bit 0 of the data to determine if the block is locked.

See Section 13.1.4, “Block Lock Status” on page 78 for valid lock status.

CFI Query  
This device contains a separate CFI query database that acts as an “on-chip datasheet.” The CFI  
information within this device can be accessed by issuing the Read Query command and supplying  
a specific address. The address is constructed from the base address of a partition plus a particular  
offset corresponding to the desired CFI field. Appendix B, “Common Flash Interface (CFI)” on  
page 95 shows accessible CFI fields and their address offsets.  
Issuing the Read Query command to a partition that is programming or erasing puts that partition in  
read query mode while the partition continues to program or erase in the background.  
Read Status Register  
The device’s Status Register displays program and erase operation status. A partition’s status can  
be read after writing the Read Status Register command to any location within the partition’s  
address range. Read-status mode is the default read mode following a Program, Erase, or Lock  
Block command sequence. Subsequent single reads from that partition will return its status until  
another valid command is written.  
The read-status mode supports single synchronous and single asynchronous reads only; it doesn’t  
support burst reads. The first falling edge of OE# or CE# latches and updates Status Register data.  
The operation doesn’t affect other partitions’ modes. Because the Status Register is 8 bits wide,  
only DQ [7:0] contains valid Status Register data; DQ [15:8] contains zeros. See Table 23, “Status  
Register Definitions” on page 64 and Table 24, “Status Register Descriptions” on page 64.  
Each 4-Mbit partition contains its own Status Register. Bits SR[6:0] are unique to each partition,  
but SR[7], the Device WSM Status (DWS) bit, pertains to the entire device. SR[7] provides  
program and erase status of the entire device. By contrast, the Partition WSM Status (PWS) bit,  
SR[0], provides program and erase status of the addressed partition only. Status register bits  
SR[6:1] present information about partition-specific program, erase, suspend, VPP, and block-lock  
states. Table 25, “Status Register Device WSM and Partition Write Status Description” on page 64  
presents descriptions of DWS (SR[7]) and PWS (SR[0]) combinations.

11.0 Program Operations  
10.7  
Clear Status Register  
The Clear Status Register command clears the Status Register and leaves all partition output states  
unchanged. The WSM can set all Status Register bits and clear bits SR[7:6,2,0]. Because bits  
SR[5,4,3,1] indicate various error conditions, they can only be cleared by the Clear Status Register  
command. By allowing system software to reset these bits, several operations (such as  
cumulatively programming several addresses or erasing multiple blocks in sequence) can be  
performed before reading the Status Register to determine error occurrence. If an error is detected,  
the Status Register must be cleared before beginning another command or sequence. Device reset  
(RST# = VIL) also clears the Status Register. This command functions independently of VPP.  
11.0  
Program Operations  
11.1  
Word Program  
When the Word Program command is issued, the WSM executes a sequence of internally timed  
events to program a word at the desired address and verify that the bits are sufficiently  
programmed. Programming the flash array changes specifically addressed bits to 0; 1 bits do not  
change the memory cell contents.  
Programming can occur in only one partition at a time. All other partitions must be in either a read  
mode or erase suspend mode. Only one partition can be in erase suspend mode at a time.  
The Status Register can be examined for program progress by reading any address within the  
partition that is busy programming. However, while most Status Register bits are partition-specific,  
the Device WSM Status bit, SR[7], is device-specific; that is, if the Status Register is read from any  
other partition, SR[7] indicates program status of the entire device. This permits the system CPU to  
monitor program progress while reading the status of other partitions.  
CE# or OE# toggle (during polling) updates the Status Register. Several commands can be issued  
to a partition that is programming: Read Status Register, Program Suspend, Read Identifier, and  
Read Query. The Read Array command can also be issued, but the read data is indeterminate.  
After programming completes, three Status Register bits can signify various possible error  
conditions. SR[4] indicates a program failure if set. If SR[3] is set, the WSM couldn’t execute the  
Word Program command because VPP was outside acceptable limits. If SR[1] is set, the program  
was aborted because the WSM attempted to program a locked block.  
After the Status Register data is examined, clear it with the Clear Status Register command before  
a new command is issued. The partition remains in Status Register mode until another command is  
written to that partition. Any command can be issued after the Status Register indicates program  
completion.  
If CE# is deasserted while the device is programming, the devices will not enter standby mode until  
the program operation completes.

Factory Programming  
The standard factory programming mode uses the same commands and algorithm as the Word  
Program mode (40h/10h). When VPP is at VPP1, program and erase currents are drawn through  
VCC. If VPP is driven by a logic signal, VPP1 must remain above the VPP1Min value to perform in-  
system flash modifications. When VPP is connected to a 12 V power supply, the device draws  
program and erase current directly from VPP. This eliminates the need for an external switching  
transistor to control the VPP voltage. Figure 37, “Examples of VPP Power Supply Configurations”  
on page 82 shows examples of flash power supply usage in various configurations.  
66  
Preliminary Datasheet  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
11.0 Program Operations  
The 12-V VPP mode enhances programming performance during the short time period typically  
found in manufacturing processes; however, it is not intended for extended use.12 V may be  
applied to VPP during program and erase operations as specified in Section 5.2, “Operating  
Conditions” on page 27. VPP may be connected to 12 V for a total of tPPH hours maximum.  
Stressing the device beyond these limits may cause permanent damage.  
11.3  
Enhanced Factory Program (EFP)  
EFP substantially improves device programming performance through a number of enhancements  
to the conventional 12 Volt word program algorithm. EFP's more efficient WSM algorithm  
eliminates the traditional overhead delays of the conventional word program mode in both the host  
programming system and the flash device. Changes to the conventional word programming  
flowchart and internal WSM routine were developed because of today's beat-rate-sensitive  
manufacturing environments; a balance between programming speed and cycling performance was  
attained.  
The host programmer writes data to the device and checks the Status Register to determine when  
the data has completed programming. This modification essentially cuts write bus cycles in half.  
Following each internal program pulse, the WSM increments the device's address to the next  
physical location. Now, programming equipment can sequentially stream program data throughout  
an entire block without having to setup and present each new address. In combination, these  
enhancements reduce much of the host programmer overhead, enabling more of a data streaming  
approach to device programming.  
EFP further speeds up programming by performing internal code verification. With this, PROM  
programmers can rely on the device to verify that it has been programmed properly. From the  
device side, EFP streamlines internal overhead by eliminating the delays previously associated to  
switch voltages between programming and verify levels at each memory-word location.  
EFP consists of four phases: setup, program, verify and exit. Refer to Figure 29, “Enhanced  
Factory Program Flowchart” on page 70 for a detailed graphical representation of how to  
implement EFP.

11.3.2  
Setup  
After receiving the EFP Setup (30h) and EFP Confirm (D0h) command sequence, SR[7] transitions  
from a 1 to a 0 indicating that the WSM is busy with EFP algorithm startup. A delay before  
checking SR[7] is required to allow the WSM time to perform all of its setups and checks (VPP  
level and block lock status). If an error is detected, Status Register bits SR[4], SR[3], and/or SR[1]  
are set and EFP operation terminates.  
Note:  
After the EFP Setup and Confirm command sequence, reads from the device automatically output  
Status Register data. Do not issue the Read Status Register command; it will be interpreted as data  
to program at WA0.  
11.3.3  
Program  
After setup completion, the host programming system must check SR[0] to determine “data-stream  
ready" status (SR[0]=0). Each subsequent write after this is a program-data write to the flash array.  
Each cell within the memory word to be programmed to 0 receives one WSM pulse; additional  
pulses, if required, occur in the verify phase. SR[0]=1 indicates that the WSM is busy applying the  
program pulse.  
The host programmer must poll the device's Status Register for the "program done" state after each  
data-stream write. SR[0]=0 indicates that the appropriate cell(s) within the accessed memory  
location have received their single WSM program pulse, and that the device is now ready for the  
next word. Although the host may check full status for errors at any time, it is only necessary on a  
block basis, after EFP exit.  
Addresses must remain within the target block. Supplying an address outside the target block  
immediately terminates the program phase; the WSM then enters the EFP verify phase.  
The address can either hold constant or it can increment. The device compares the incoming  
address to that stored from the setup phase (WA0); if they match, the WSM programs the new data  
word at the next sequential memory location. If they differ, the WSM jumps to the new address  
location.  
The program phase concludes when the host programming system writes to a different block  
address, and data supplied must be FFFFh. Upon program phase completion, the device enters the  
EFP verify phase.  
11.3.4  
Verify  
A high percentage of the flash bits program on the first WSM pulse. However, for those cells that  
do not completely program on their first attempt, EFP internal verification identifies them and  
applies additional pulses as required.  
The verify phase is identical in flow to the program phase, except that instead of programming  
incoming data, the WSM compares the verify-stream data to that which was previously  
programmed into the block. If the data compares correctly, the host programmer proceeds to the  
next word. If not, the host waits while the WSM applies an additional pulse(s).  
The host programmer must reset its initial verify-word address to the same starting location  
supplied during the program phase. It then reissues each data word in the same order as during the  
program phase. Like programming, the host may write each subsequent data word to WA0 or it may  
increment up through the block addresses.

should be performed at this time to ensure the entire block programmed successfully. After EFP  
exit, any valid CUI command can be issued.

2. For proper verification to occur, the verify data stream must be presented to the device in the

Program and Erase Operations  
12.1  
Program/Erase Suspend and Resume  
The Program Suspend and Erase Suspend commands halt an in-progress program or erase  
operation. The command can be issued at any device address. The partition corresponding to the  
command’s address remains in its previous state. A suspend command allows data to be accessed  
from memory locations other than the one being programmed or the block being erased.  
A program operation can be suspended only to perform a read operation. An erase operation can be  
suspended to perform either a program or a read operation within any block, except the block that  
is erase suspended. A program command nested within a suspended erase can subsequently be  
suspended to read yet another location. Once a program or erase process starts, the Suspend  
command requests that the WSM suspend the program or erase sequence at predetermined points  
in the algorithm. The partition that is actually suspended continues to output Status Register data  
after the Suspend command is written. An operation is suspended when status bits SR[7] and SR[6]  
and/or SR[2] are set.  
To read data from blocks within the partition (other than an erase-suspended block), you can write  
a Read Array command. Block erase cannot resume until the program operations initiated during  
erase suspend are complete. Read Array, Read Status Register, Read Identifier (ID), Read Query,  
and Program Resume are valid commands during Program or Erase Suspend. Additionally, Clear  
Status Register, Program, Program Suspend, Erase Resume, Lock Block, Unlock Block, and Lock-  
Down Block are valid commands during erase suspend.  
To read data from a block in a partition that is not programming or erasing, the operation does not  
need to be suspended. If the other partition is already in Read Array, ID, or Query mode, issuing a  
valid address returns corresponding data. If the other partition is not in a read mode, one of the read  
commands must be issued to the partition before data can be read.  
During a suspend, CE# = VIH places the device in standby state, which reduces active current. VPP  
must remain at its program level and WP# must remain unchanged while in suspend mode.  
A resume command instructs the WSM to continue programming or erasing and clears Status  
Register bits SR[2] (or SR[6]) and SR[7]. The Resume command can be written to any partition.  
When read at the partition that is programming or erasing, the device outputs data corresponding to  
the partition’s last mode. If Status Register error bits are set, the Status Register can be cleared  
before issuing the next instruction. RST# must remain at VIH. See Figure 30, “Program Suspend /  
Resume Flowchart” on page 72, and Figure 31, “Erase Suspend / Resume Flowchart” on page 73.  
If a suspended partition was placed in Read Array, Read Status Register, ID, or Query mode during  
the suspend, the device remains in that mode and outputs data corresponding to that mode after the  
program or erase operation is resumed. After resuming a suspended operation, issue the read  
command appropriate to the read operation. To read status after resuming a suspended operation,  
issue a Read Status Register command (70h) to return the suspended partition to status mode.

Block Erase  
The 2-cycle block erase command sequence, consisting of Erase Setup (20h) and Erase Confirm  
(D0h), initiates one block erase at the addressed block. Only one partition can be in an erase mode  
at a time; other partitions must be in a read mode. The Erase Confirm command internally latches  
the address of the block to be erased. Erase forces all bits within the block to 1. SR[7] is cleared  
while the erase executes.  
Preliminary Datasheet  
73  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
12.0 Program and Erase Operations  
After writing the Erase Confirm command, the selected partition is placed in read Status Register  
mode and reads performed to that partition return the current status data. The address given during  
the Erase Confirm command does not need to be the same address used in the Erase Setup  
command. So, if the Erase Confirm command is given to partition B, then the selected block in  
partition B will be erased even if the Erase Setup command was to partition A.  
The 2-cycle erase sequence cannot be interrupted with a bus write operation. For example, an Erase  
Setup command must be immediately followed by the Erase Confirm command in order to execute  
properly. If a different command is issued between the setup and confirm commands, the partition  
is placed in read-status mode, the Status Register signals a command sequence error, and all  
subsequent erase commands to that partition are ignored until the Status Register is cleared.  
The CPU can detect block erase completion by analyzing SR[7] of that partition. If an error bit  
(SR[5,3,1]) was flagged, the Status Register can be cleared by issuing the Clear Status Register  
command before attempting the next operation. The partition remains in read-status mode until  
another command is written to its CUI. Any CUI instruction can follow after erasing completes.  
The CUI can be set to read-array mode to prevent inadvertent Status Register reads.

Read-While-Write and Read-While-Erase  
The Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18) supports flexible multi-partition dual-operation  
architecture. By dividing the flash memory into many separate partitions, the device can read from  
one partition while programing or erasing in another partition; hence the terms, RWW and RWE.  
Both of these features greatly enhance data storage performance.  
Preliminary Datasheet  
75  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
13.0 Security Modes  
The product does not support simultaneous program and erase operations. Attempting to perform  
operations such as these results in a command sequence error. Only one partition can be  
programming or erasing while another partition is reading. However, one partition may be in erase  
suspend mode while a second partition is performing a program operation, and yet another partition  
is executing a read command. Table 20, “Command Codes and Descriptions” on page 57 describes  
the command codes available for all functions.  
13.0  
Security Modes  
The Intel Wireless Flash Memory offers both hardware and software security features to protect the  
flash data. The software security feature is used by executing the Lock Block command. The  
hardware security feature is used by executing the Lock-Down Block command and by asserting  
the WP# signal.  
Refer to Figure 33, “Block Locking State Diagram” on page 77 for a state diagram of the flash  
security features. Also see Figure 34, “Locking Operations Flowchart” on page 79.  
13.1  
Block Lock Operations  
Individual instant block locking protects code and data by allowing any block to be locked or  
unlocked with no latency. This locking scheme offers two levels of protection. The first allows  
software-only control of block locking (useful for frequently changed data blocks), while the  
second requires hardware interaction before locking can be changed (protects infrequently changed  
code blocks).  
The following sections discuss the locking system operation. The term “state [abc]” specifies  
locking states; for example, “state [001],” where a = WP# value, b = block lock-down status bit  
D1, and c = Block Lock Status Register bit D0. Figure 33, “Block Locking State Diagram” on  
page 77 defines possible locking states.  
The following summarizes the locking functionality.  
All blocks power-up in a locked state.  
Unlock commands can unlock these blocks, and lock commands can lock them again.  
The Lock-Down command locks a block and prevents it from being unlocked when WP# is  
asserted.  
— Locked-down blocks can be unlocked or locked with commands as long as WP# is  
deasserted.  
— The lock-down status bit is cleared only when the device is reset or powered-down.  
Block lock registers are not affected by the VPP level. They may be modified and read even if VPP  
VPPLK  
.
Each block’s locking status can be set to locked, unlocked, and lock-down, as described in the  
following sections. See Figure 34, “Locking Operations Flowchart” on page 79.

13.1.1  
13.1.2  
13.1.3  
Lock  
All blocks default to locked (state [x01]) after initial power-up or reset. Locked blocks are fully  
protected from alteration. Attempted program or erase operations to a locked block will return an  
error in SR[1]. Unlocked blocks can be locked by using the Lock Block command sequence.  
Similarly, a locked block’s status can be changed to unlocked or lock-down using the appropriate  
software commands.  
Unlock  
Unlocked blocks (states [x00] and [110]) can be programmed or erased. All unlocked blocks return  
to the locked state when the device is reset or powered-down. An unlocked block’s status can be  
changed to the locked or locked-down state using the appropriate software commands. A locked  
block can be unlocked by writing the Unlock Block command sequence if the block is not locked-  
down.  
Lock-Down  
Locked-down blocks (state [011]) offer the user an additional level of write protection beyond that  
of a regular locked block. A block that is locked-down cannot have it’s state changed by software if  
WP# is asserted. A locked or unlocked block can be locked-down by writing the Lock-Down Block  
command sequence. If a block was set to locked-down, then later changed to unlocked, a Lock-  
Preliminary Datasheet  
77  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
13.0 Security Modes  
Down command should be issued prior asserting WP# will put that block back to the locked-down  
state. When WP# is deasserted, locked-down blocks are changed to the locked state and can then  
be unlocked by the Unlock Block command.  
13.1.4  
Block Lock Status  
Every block’s lock status can be read in read identifier mode. To enter this mode, issue the Read  
Identifier command to the device. Subsequent reads at BBA + 02h will output that block’s lock  
status. For example, to read the block lock status of block 10, the address sent to the device should  
be 50002h (for a top-parameter device). The lowest two data bits of the read data, DQ1 and DQ0,  
represent the lock status. DQ0 indicates the block lock status. It is set by the Lock Block command  
and cleared by the Block Unlock command. It is also set when entering the lock-down state. DQ1  
indicates lock-down status and is set by the Lock-Down command. The lock-down status bit  
cannot be cleared by software–only by device reset or power-down. See Table 26.

Lock During Erase Suspend  
Block lock configurations can be performed during an erase suspend operation by using the  
standard locking command sequences to unlock, lock, or lock-down a block. This feature is useful  
when another block requires immediate updating.  
To change block locking during an erase operation, first write the Erase Suspend command. After  
checking SR[6] to determine the erase operation has suspended, write the desired lock command  
sequence to a block; the lock status will be changed. After completing lock, unlock, read, or  
program operations, resume the erase operation with the Erase Resume command (D0h).  
If a block is locked or locked-down during a suspended erase of the same block, the locking status  
bits change immediately. When the erase operation is resumed, it will complete normally.  
Locking operations cannot occur during program suspend. Appendix A, “Write State Machine  
States” on page 92 shows valid commands during erase suspend.  
13.1.6  
Status Register Error Checking  
Using nested locking or program command sequences during erase suspend can introduce  
ambiguity into Status Register results.  
Because locking changes require 2-cycle command sequences, for example, 60h followed by 01h  
to lock a block, following the Configuration Setup command (60h) with an invalid command  
produces a command sequence error (SR[5:4]=11b). If a Lock Block command error occurs during  
erase suspend, the device sets SR[4] and SR[5] to 1 even after the erase is resumed. When erase is  
78  
Preliminary Datasheet  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
13.0 Security Modes  
complete, possible errors during the erase cannot be detected from the Status Register because of  
the previous locking command error. A similar situation occurs if a program operation error is  
nested within an erase suspend.  
13.1.7  
WP# Lock-Down Control  
The Write Protect signal, WP#, adds an additional layer of block security. WP# only affects blocks  
that once had the Lock-Down command written to them. After the lock-down status bit is set for a  
block, asserting WP# forces that block into the lock-down state [011] and prevents it from being  
unlocked. After WP# is deasserted, the block’s state reverts to locked [111] and software  
commands can then unlock the block (for erase or program operations) and subsequently re-lock it.  
Only device reset or power-down can clear the lock-down status bit and render WP# ineffective.

Protection Register  
The Intel Wireless Flash Memory includes a 128-bit Protection Register. This protection register is  
used to increase system security and for identification purposes. The protection register value can  
match the flash component to the system’s CPU or ASIC to prevent device substitution.  
The lower 64 bits within the protection register are programmed by Intel with a unique number in  
each flash device. The upper 64 OTP bits within the protection register are left for the customer to  
program. Once programmed, the customer segment can be locked to prevent further programming.  
Preliminary Datasheet  
79  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
13.0 Security Modes  
Note:  
The individual bits of the user segment of the protection register are OTP, not the register in total.  
The user may program each OTP bit individually, one at a time, if desired. After the protection  
register is locked, however, the entire user segment is locked and no more user bits can be  
programmed.  
The protection register shares some of the same internal flash resources as the parameter partition.  
Therefore, RWW is only allowed between the protection register and main partitions. Table 27  
describes the operations allowed in the protection register, parameter partition, and main partition  
during RWW and RWE.

Reading the Protection Register  
Writing the Read Identifier command allows the protection register data to be read 16 bits at a time  
from addresses shown in Table 22, “Device Identification Codes” on page 62. The protection  
register is read from the Read Identifier command and can be read in any partition.Writing the  
Read Array command returns the device to read-array mode.  
13.2.2  
Programing the Protection Register  
The Protection Program command should be issued only at the parameter (top or bottom) partition  
followed by the data to be programmed at the specified location. It programs the upper 64 bits of  
the protection register 16 bits at a time. Table 22, “Device Identification Codes” on page 62 shows  
allowable addresses. See also Figure 35, “Protection Register Programming Flowchart” on  
page 81. Issuing a Protection Program command outside the register’s address space results in a  
Status Register error (SR[4]=1).

Locking the Protection Register  
PR-LK.0 is programmed to 0 by Intel to protect the unique device number. PR-LK.1 can be  
programmed by the user to lock the user portion (upper 64 bits) of the protection register (See  
Figure 36, “Protection Register Locking“). This bit is set using the Protection Program command  
to program “FFFDh” into PR-LK.  
After PR-LK register bits are programmed (locked), the protection register’s stored values can’t be  
changed. Protection Program commands written to a locked section result in a Status Register error  
(SR[4]=1, SR[5]=1).

VPP Protection  
The Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18) provides in-system program and erase at VPP1. For  
factory programming, it also includes a low-cost, backward-compatible 12 V programming  
feature.(See “Factory Programming” on page 66.) The EFP feature can also be used to greatly  
improve factory program performance as explained in Section 11.3, “Enhanced Factory Program  
(EFP)” on page 67.  
In addition to the flexible block locking, holding the VPP programming voltage low can provide  
absolute hardware write protection of all flash-device blocks. If VPP is below VPPLK, program or  
erase operations result in an error displayed in SR[3]. (See Figure 37.)

Set Read Configuration Register  
The Set Read Configuration Register (RCR) command sets the burst order, frequency  
configuration, burst length, and other parameters.  
A two-bus cycle command sequence initiates this operation. The Read Configuration Register data  
is placed on the lower 16 bits of the address bus (A[15:0]) during both bus cycles. The Set Read  
Configuration Register command is written along with the configuration data (on the address bus).  
This is followed by a second write that confirms the operation and again presents the Read  
Configuration Register data on the address bus. The Read Configuration Register data is latched on  
the rising edge of ADV#, CE#, or WE# (whichever occurs first). This command functions  
independently of the applied VPP voltage. After executing this command, the device returns to  
read-array mode. The Read Configuration Register’s contents can be examined by writing the Read  
Identifier command and then reading location 05h. See Table 28 and Table 29.

Read Mode (RCR[15])  
All partitions support two high-performance read configurations: synchronous burst mode and  
asynchronous page mode (default). RCR[15] sets the read configuration to one of these modes.  
Status register, query, and identifier modes support only asynchronous and single-synchronous read  
operations.

First Access Latency Count (RCR[13:11])  
The First Access Latency Count (RCR[13:11]) configuration tells the device how many clocks  
must elapse from ADV# de-assertion (VIH) before the first data word should be driven onto its data  
pins. The input clock frequency determines this value. See Table 29, “Read Configuration Register  
Descriptions” on page 83 for latency values. Figure 38 shows data output latency from ADV#  
assertion for different latencies. Refer to Section 14.2.1, “Latency Count Settings” on page 86 for  
Latency Code Settings.

WAIT Signal Polarity (RCR[10])  
If the WT bit is cleared (RCR[10]=0), then WAIT is configured to be asserted low. This means that  
a 0 on the WAIT signal indicates that data is not ready and the data bus contains invalid data.  
Conversely, if RCR[10] is set, then WAIT is asserted high. In either case, if WAIT is deasserted,  
then data is ready and valid. WAIT is asserted during asynchronous page mode reads.  
WAIT Signal Function  
The WAIT signal indicates data valid when the device is operating in synchronous mode  
(RCR[15]=0), and when addressing a partition that is currently in read-array mode. The WAIT  
signal is only “deasserted” when data is valid on the bus.  
When the device is operating in synchronous non-read-array mode, such as read status, read ID, or  
read query, WAIT is set to an “asserted” state as determined by RCR[10]. See Figure 14, “WAIT  
Signal in Synchronous Non-Read Array Operation Waveform” on page 41.  
When the device is operating in asynchronous page mode or asynchronous single word read mode,  
WAIT is set to an “asserted” state as determined by RCR[10]. See Figure 10, “Page-Mode Read  
Operation Waveform” on page 37, and Figure 8, “Asynchronous Read Operation Waveform” on  
page 35.  
From a system perspective, the WAIT signal is in the asserted state (based on RCR[10]) when the  
device is operating in synchronous non-read-array mode (such as Read ID, Read Query, or Read  
Status), or if the device is operating in asynchronous mode (RCR[15]=1). In these cases, the system  
software should ignore (mask) the WAIT signal, because it does not convey any useful information  
about the validity of what is appearing on the data bus.

Data Hold (RCR[9])  
The Data Output Configuration (DOC) bit (RCR[9]) determines whether a data word remains valid  
on the data bus for one or two clock cycles. The processor’s minimum data set-up time and the  
flash memory’s clock-to-data output delay determine whether one or two clocks are needed.  
A DOC set at 1-clock data hold corresponds to a 1-clock data cycle; a DOC set at 2-clock data hold  
corresponds to a 2-clock data cycle. The setting of this configuration bit depends on the system and  
CPU characteristics. For clarification, see Figure 41, “Data Output Configuration with WAIT  
Signal Delay” on page 89.  
A method for determining this configuration setting is shown below.  
To set the device at 1-clock data hold for subsequent reads, the following condition must be  
satisfied:  
tCHQV (ns) + tDATA (ns) One CLK Period (ns)  
As an example, use a clock frequency of 66 MHz and a clock period of 15 ns. Assume the data  
output hold time is one clock. Apply this data to the formula above for the subsequent reads:  
11 ns + 4 ns 15 ns  
This equation is satisfied, and data output will be available and valid at every clock period. If tDATA  
is long, hold for two cycles.  
During page-mode reads, the initial access time can be determined by the formula:  
tADD-DELAY (ns) + tDATA (ns) + tAVQV (ns)  
Subsequent reads in page mode are defined by:  
tAPA (ns) + tDATA (ns)  
(minimum time)

WAIT Delay (RCR[8])  
The WAIT configuration bit (RCR[8]) controls WAIT signal delay behavior for all synchronous  
read-array modes. Its setting depends on the system and CPU characteristics. The WAIT can be  
asserted either during, or one data cycle before, a valid output.  
In synchronous linear read array (no-wrap mode RCR[3]=1) of 4-, 8-, 16-, or continuous-word  
burst mode, an output delay may occur when a burst sequence crosses its first device-row boundary  
(16-word boundary). If the burst start address is 4-word boundary aligned, the delay does not occur.  
If the start address is misaligned to a 4-word boundary, the delay occurs once per burst-mode read  
sequence. The WAIT signal informs the system of this delay.  
14.7  
Burst Sequence (RCR[7])  
The burst sequence specifies the synchronous-burst mode data order (see Table 34, “Sequence and  
Burst Length” on page 90). When operating in a linear burst mode, either 4-, 8-, or 16-word burst  
length with the burst wrap bit (RCR[3]) set, or in continuous burst mode, the device may incur an  
output delay when the burst sequence crosses the first 16-word boundary. (See Figure 39, “Word  
Boundary” on page 85 for word boundary description.) This depends on the starting address. If the  
starting address is aligned to a 4-word boundary, there is no delay. If the starting address is the end  
of a 4-word boundary, the output delay is one clock cycle less than the First Access Latency Count;  
this is the worst-case delay. The delay takes place only once, and only if the burst sequence crosses  
a 16-word boundary. The WAIT pin informs the system of this delay. For timing diagrams of WAIT  
functionality, see these figures:

Clock Edge (RCR[6])  
Configuring the valid clock edge enables a flexible memory interface to a wide range of burst  
CPUs. Clock configuration sets the device to start a burst cycle, output data, and assert WAIT on  
the clock’s rising or falling edge.

14.9  
Burst Wrap (RCR[3])  
The burst wrap bit determines whether 4-, 8-, or 16-word burst accesses wrap within the burst-  
length boundary or whether they cross word-length boundaries to perform linear accesses. No-  
wrap mode (RCR[3]=1) enables WAIT to hold off the system processor, as it does in the  
continuous burst mode, until valid data is available. In no-wrap mode (RCR[3]=0), the device  
operates similarly to continuous linear burst mode but consumes less power during 4-, 8-, or 16-  
word bursts.  
For example, if RCR[3]=0 (wrap mode) and RCR[2:0] = 1h (4-word burst), possible linear burst  
sequences are 0-1-2-3, 1-2-3-0, 2-3-0-1, 3-0-1-2.  
If RCR[3]=1 (no-wrap mode) and RCR[2:0] = 1h (4-word burst length), then possible linear burst  
sequences are 0-1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, and 3-4-5-6. RCR[3]=1 not only enables limited non-  
aligned sequential bursts, but also reduces power by minimizing the number of internal read  
operations.  
Setting RCR[2:0] bits for continuous linear burst mode (7h) also achieves the above 4-word burst  
sequences. However, significantly more power may be consumed. The 1-2-3-4 sequence, for  
example, consumes power during the initial access, again during the internal pipeline lookup as the  
processor reads word 2, and possibly again, depending on system timing, near the end of the  
sequence as the device pipelines the next 4-word sequence. RCR[3]=1 while in 4-word burst mode  
(no-wrap mode) reduces this excess power consumption.  
14.10  
Burst Length (RCR[2:0])  
The Burst Length bit (BL[2:0]) selects the number of words the device outputs in synchronous read  
access of the flash memory array. The burst lengths are 4-word, 8-word, 16-word, and continuous  
word.  
Continuous-burst accesses are linear only, and do not wrap within any word length boundaries (see  
Table 34, “Sequence and Burst Length” on page 90). When a burst cycle begins, the device outputs  
synchronous burst data until it reaches the end of the “burstable” address space.

Notes:  
1.  
The output state shows the type of data that appears at the outputs if the partition address is the same as the command  
address.  
A partition can be placed in Read Array, Read Status or Read ID/CFI, depending on the command issued.  
Each partition stays in its last output state (Array, ID/CFI or Status) until a new command changes it. The next WSM state  
does not depend on the partition's output state.  
For example, if partition #1's output state is Read Array and partition #4's output state is Read Status, every read from  
partition #4 (without issuing a new command) outputs the Status register.  
Preliminary Datasheet  
93  
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
Appendix A Write State Machine States  
2.  
3.  
Illegal commands are those not defined in the command set.  
All partitions default to Read Array mode at power-up. A Read Array command issued to a busy partition results in  
undermined data when a partition address is read.  
4.  
Both cycles of 2 cycles commands should be issued to the same partition address. If they are issued to different partitions,  
the second write determines the active partition. Both partitions will output status information when read.  
If the WSM is active, both cycles of a 2 cycle command are ignored. This differs from previous Intel devices.  
The Clear Status command clears Status Register error bits except when the WSM is running (Pgm Busy, Erase Busy,  
Pgm Busy In Erase Suspend, OTP Busy, EFP modes) or suspended (Erase Suspend, Pgm Suspend, Pgm Suspend In  
Erase Suspend).  
5.  
6.  
7.  
EFP writes are allowed only when Status Register bit SR.0 = 0. EFP is busy if Block Address = address at EFP Confirm  
command. Any other commands are treated as data.  
8.  
9.  
The "current state" is that of the WSM, not the partition.  
Confirm commands (Lock Block, Unlock Block, Lock-down Block, Configuration Register) perform the operation and then  
move to the Ready State.  
10.  
In Erase suspend, the only valid two cycle commands are "Program Word", "Lock/Unlock/Lockdown Block", and "CR  
Write". Both cycles of other two cycle commands ("OEM CAM program & confirm", "Program OTP & confirm", "EFP Setup  
& confirm", "Erase setup & confirm") will be ignored. In Program suspend or Program suspend in Erase suspend, both  
cycles of all two cycle commands will be ignored.

Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)  
Appendix B Common Flash Interface (CFI)  
Appendix B Common Flash Interface (CFI)  
This appendix defines the data structure or “database” returned by the Common Flash Interface  
(CFI) Query command. System software should parse this structure to gain critical information  
such as block size, density, x8/x16, and electrical specifications. Once this information has been  
obtained, the software will know which command sets to use to enable flash writes, block erases,  
and otherwise control the flash component. The Query is part of an overall specification for  
multiple command set and control interface descriptions called Common Flash Interface, or CFI.  
B.1  
Query Structure Output  
The Query database allows system software to obtain information for controlling the flash device.  
This section describes the device’s CFI-compliant interface that allows access to Query data.  
Query data are presented on the lowest-order data outputs (DQ0-7) only. The numerical offset  
value is the address relative to the maximum bus width supported by the device. On this family of  
devices, the Query table device starting address is a 10h, which is a word address for x16 devices.  
For a word-wide (x16) device, the first two Query-structure bytes, ASCII “Q” and “R,” appear on  
the low byte at word addresses 10h and 11h. This CFI-compliant device outputs 00h data on upper  
bytes. The device outputs ASCII “Q” in the low byte (DQ0-7) and 00h in the high byte (DQ8-15).  
At Query addresses containing two or more bytes of information, the least significant data byte is  
presented at the lower address, and the most significant data byte is presented at the higher address.  
In all of the following tables, addresses and data are represented in hexadecimal notation, so the  
“h” suffix has been dropped. In addition, since the upper byte of word-wide devices is always  
“00h,” the leading “00” has been dropped from the table notation and only the lower byte value is  
shown. Any x16 device outputs can be assumed to have 00h on the upper byte in this mode.

a function of device bus width and mode.  
BA = Block Address beginning location (i.e., 08000h is block 1’s beginning location when the block size  
is 32K-word).  
Offset 15 defines “P” which points to the Primary Intel-specific Extended Query Table.  
B.3  
Block Status Register  
The Block Status Register indicates whether an erase operation completed successfully or whether  
a given block is locked or can be accessed for flash program/erase operations.  
96

Appendix B Common Flash Interface (CFI)  
Block Erase Status (BSR.1) allows system software to determine the success of the last block erase  
operation. BSR.1 can be used just after power-up to verify that the VCC supply was not  
accidentally removed during an erase operation.
