The Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18) device with flexible multi-partition dual operation,
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’s 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
the total memory requirement that increases reliability and reduces overall system power
consumption and cost.
The W18 device’s flexible multi-partition architecture allows programming or erasing to occur
in one partition while reading from another partition. This allows for higher data write
throughput compared to single partition architectures. The dual-operation architecture also
allows two processors to interleave code operations while program and erase operations take
place in the background. The designer can also choose the size of the code and data partitions via
the flexible multi-partition architecture.

and “VPP = 12 V” refers to 12 V 5%.
• When referring to registers, the term set means the bit is a logical 1, and clear means the bit is
a logical 0.
• The terms pin and signal are often used interchangeably to refer to the external signal
connections on the package. (ball is the term used for VF BGA).
• A word is 2 bytes, or 16 bits.

Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
• Signal names are in all CAPS (see Section 2.3, “Signal Descriptions” on page 14.)
• Voltage applied to the signal is subscripted, for example, VPP.
Throughout this document, references are made to top, bottom, parameter, and partition. To clarify
these references, the following conventions have been adopted:
• A block is a group of bits (or words) that erase simultaneously with one block erase
instruction.
• A main block contains 32 Kwords.
• A parameter block contains 4 Kwords.
• The Block Base Address (BBA) is the first address of a block.
• A partition is a group of blocks that share erase and program circuitry and a common status
register.
• The Partition Base Address (PBA) is the first address of a partition. For example, on a 32-
Mbit top-parameter device, partition number 5 has a PBA of 140000h.
• The top partition is located at the highest physical device address. This partition may be a
main partition or a parameter partition.
• The bottom partition is located at the lowest physical device address. This partition may be a
main partition or a parameter partition.
• A main partition contains only main blocks.
• A parameter partition contains a mixture of main blocks and parameter blocks.
• A top parameter device (TPD) has the parameter partition at the top of the memory map with
the parameter blocks at the top of that partition. This was formerly referred to as top-boot
device.
• A bottom parameter device (BPD) has the parameter partition at the bottom of the memory
map with the parameter blocks at the bottom of that partition. This was formerly referred to as
bottom-boot block flash device.
2.0
Device Description
This section provides an overview of the W18 device features, packaging, signal naming, and
device architecture.
2.1
Product Overview
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
10
Datasheet
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
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 read configuration.
Writing to the device’s configuration register 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 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.
The device’s 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.

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 2, “Bottom Parameter Memory Map” on page 16 and
Table 3, “Top Parameter Memory Map” on page 17.
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.

4. WAIT is only valid during synchronous array read operations.
3.1.1
Read
The 1.8 Volt Intel Wireless Flash memory has several read configurations:
• Asynchronous page mode read.
• Synchronous burst mode read — outputs four, eight, sixteen, or continuous words, from main
blocks and parameter blocks.
Several read modes are available in each partition:
• Read-array mode: read accesses return flash array data from the addressed locations.
• Read identifier mode: reads return manufacturer and device identifier data, block lock status,
and protection register data. Identifier information can be accessed starting at 4-Mbit partition
base addresses; the flash array is not accessible in read identifier mode.
• Read query mode: reads return device CFI data. CFI information can be accessed starting at
4-Mbit partition base addresses; the flash array is not accessible in read query mode.
• Read status register mode: reads return status register data from the addressed partition. That
partition’s array data is not accessible. A system processor can check the status register to
determine an addressed partition’s state or monitor program and erase progress.
All partitions support the synchronous burst mode that internally sequences addresses with respect
to the input CLK to select and supply data to the outputs.
Identifier codes, query data, and status register read operations execute as single-synchronous or
asynchronous read cycles. WAIT is asserted during these reads.
18
Datasheet
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
Access to the modes listed above is independent of VPP. An appropriate CUI command places the
device in a read mode. At initial power-up or after reset, the device defaults to asynchronous read-
array mode.
Asserting CE# enables device read operations. The device internally decodes upper address inputs
to determine which partition is accessed. Asserting ADV# opens the internal address latches.
Asserting OE# activates the outputs and gates selected data onto the I/O bus. In asynchronous
mode, the address is latched when ADV# is deasserted (when the device is configured to use
ADV#). In synchronous mode, the address is latched by either the rising edge of ADV# or the
rising (or falling) CLK edge while ADV# remains asserted, whichever occurs first. WE# and RST#
must be at deasserted during read operations.
Note: If only asynchronous reads are to be performed in your system, CLK should be tied to a valid VIH
level, WAIT signal can be floated and ADV# must be tied to ground.
3.1.2
Burst Suspend
The Burst Suspend feature allows the system to temporarily suspend a synchronous burst operation
if the system needs to use the flash address and data bus for other purposes. 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 remains asserted and
does not revert to a high-impedance state when OE# is deasserted. This can cause contention with
another device attempting to control the system’s READY signal during a Burst Suspend. System
using the Burst Suspend feature should not connect the device’s WAIT signal directly to the
system’s READY signal.
Refer to Figure 27, “Burst Suspend” on page 73.
3.1.3
3.1.4
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.
Datasheet
19
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
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 33, “Reset Operations Waveforms”
on page 80 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. 1.8 Volt 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, RESET#.
3.1.5
Write
A write occurs when CE# and WE# are asserted and OE# is deasserted. Flash control commands
are written to the CUI using standard microprocessor write timings. Proper use of the ADV# input
is needed for proper latching of the addresses. Refer to Section 11.3, “AC Write Characteristics” on
page 74 for details. The address and data are latched on the rising edge of WE#. Write operations
are asynchronous; CLK is ignored (but still may be kept active/toggling).
The CUI does not occupy an addressable memory location within any partition. The system
processor must access it at the correct address range depending on the kind of command executed.
Programming or erasing may occur in only one partition at a time. Other partitions must be in one
of the read modes or erase suspend mode.
Table 5, “Command Codes and Descriptions” on page 21 shows the available commands.
Appendix A, “Write State Machine States” on page 83 provides information on moving between
different operating modes using CUI commands.
3.2
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 4, “Bus Operations” on page 18 summarizes bus operations.
Device operations are selected by writing specific commands into the device’s CUI. Table 5,
“Command Codes and Descriptions” on page 21 lists all possible command codes and
descriptions. Table 6, “Bus Cycle Definitions” on page 23 lists command definitions. Because
commands are partition-specific, it is important to issue write commands within the target address
range.

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 3 on
page 24 and Figure 4 on page 24 illustrate these two conditions.

Read Operations
4.1
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.
4.2
Read Device ID
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 7 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.

Then examine bit 0 of the data to determine if the block is locked.
2. See Section 7.1.4, “Block Lock Status” on page 41 for valid lock status.

4.4
Read Query (CFI)
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” on page 86
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 8, “Status
Register Definitions” on page 27 and Table 9, “Status Register Descriptions” on page 27.
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 10, “Status Register Device WSM and Partition Write Status Description” on page 27
presents descriptions of DWS (SR[7]) and PWS (SR[0]) combinations.

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.
5.0
Program Operations
5.1
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 15, “Examples of VPP Power Supply Configurations”
on page 45 shows examples of flash power supply usage in various configurations.
Datasheet
29
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
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 10.2, “Operating
Conditions” on page 57. VPP may be connected to 12 V for a total of tPPH hours maximum.
Stressing the device beyond these limits may cause permanent damage.
5.3
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 7, “Enhanced Factory
Program Flowchart” on page 33 for a detailed graphical representation of how to implement EFP.

Datasheet
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
5.3.2
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.
5.3.3
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.
5.3.4
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.
Datasheet
31
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
The verification phase concludes when the interfacing programmer writes to a different block
address; data supplied must be FFFFh. Upon completion of the verify phase, the device enters the
EFP exit phase.
5.3.5
Exit
SR[7]=1 indicates that the device has returned to normal operating conditions. A full status check
should be performed at this time to ensure the entire block programmed successfully. After EFP
exit, any valid CUI command can be issued.

Program and Erase Operations
6.1
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 8, “Program Suspend / Resume
Flowchart” on page 35, and Figure 9, “Erase Suspend / Resume Flowchart” on page 36.
If a suspended partition was placed in read array, read status register, read identifier (ID), or read
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.

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 1.8 Volt Intel® Wireless Flash memory 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.
38
Datasheet
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
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 5, “Command Codes and Descriptions” on page 21 describes
the command codes available for all functions.
7.0
Security Modes
The 1.8 Volt 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 11, “Block Locking State Diagram” on page 40 for a state diagram of the flash
security features. Also see Figure 12, “Locking Operations Flowchart” on page 42.
7.1
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 11, “Block Locking State Diagram” on
page 40 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 12, “Locking Operations Flowchart” on page 42.

3. D0 indicates block lock status. D0 = ‘0’, block is unlocked. D0 = ‘1’, block is locked.
4. Locked-down = Hardware + Software locked.
5. [011] states should be tracked by system software to determine difference between
Hardware Locked and Locked-Down states.
7.1.1
7.1.2
7.1.3
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-
40
Datasheet
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
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.
7.1.4
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 Block Base Address + 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, D1
and D0, represent the lock status. D0 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. D1 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 11.

7.1.5
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 83 shows valid commands during erase suspend.
7.1.6
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
Datasheet
41
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
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.
7.1.7
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 1.8 Volt 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.
42
Datasheet
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
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 12
describes the operations allowed in the protection register, parameter partition, and main partition
during RWW and RWE.

7.2.1
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 7, “Device Identification Codes” on page 25. 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.
7.2.2
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 7, “Device Identification Codes” on page 25 shows
allowable addresses. See also Figure 13, “Protection Register Programming Flowchart” on
page 44. Issuing a Protection Program command outside the register’s address space results in a
status register error (SR[4]=1).

43
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
7.2.3
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 14, “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 1.8 Volt Intel® Wireless Flash memory 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 29.) The EFP feature can also be used to greatly
improve factory program performance as explained in Section 5.3, “Enhanced Factory Program
(EFP)” on page 30.
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 15.)

Set Configuration Register
The Set Configuration Register command sets the burst order, frequency configuration, burst
length, and other parameters.
A two-bus cycle command sequence initiates this operation. The configuration register data is
placed on the lower 16 bits of the address bus (A[15:0]) during both bus cycles. The Set
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 configuration
register data on the address bus. The 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
configuration register’s contents can be examined by writing the Read Identifier command and
then reading location 05h. (See Table 13 and Table 14.)

Read Mode (CR[15])
All partitions support two high-performance read configurations: synchronous burst mode and

First Access Latency Count (CR[13:11])
The First Access Latency Count (CR[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 13, “Configuration Register
Definitions” on page 47 for latency values. Figure 16 shows data output latency from ADV#
assertion for different latencies. Refer to Section 8.2.1, “Latency Count Settings” on page 49 for

WAIT Signal Polarity (CR[10])
If the WT bit is cleared (CR[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 CR[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
(CR[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 CR[10]. See Figure 26, “WAIT
Signal in Synchronous Non-Read Array Operation Waveform” on page 72.
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 CR[10]. See Figure 22, “Page-Mode Read
Operation Waveform” on page 68, and Figure 20, “Asynchronous Read Operation Waveform” on
page 66.
From a system perspective, the WAIT signal is in the asserted state (based on CR[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 (CR[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 (CR[9])
The Data Output Configuration bit (CR[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 Data Output Configuration set at 1-clock data hold corresponds to a 1-clock data cycle; a Data
Output Configuration 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
19, “Data Output Configuration with WAIT Signal Delay” on page 52.
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 (CR[8])
The WAIT configuration bit (CR[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 CR[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.
8.7
Burst Sequence (CR[7])
The burst sequence specifies the synchronous-burst mode data order (see Table 19, “Sequence and
Burst Length” on page 53). When operating in a linear burst mode, either 4-, 8-, or 16-word burst
length with the burst wrap bit (CR[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 17, “Word
Boundary” on page 48 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:
• Figure 23, “Single Synchronous Read-Array Operation Waveform” on page 69
• Figure 24, “Synchronous 4-Word Burst Read Operation Waveform” on page 70
• Figure 25, “WAIT Functionality for EOWL (End-of-Word Line) Condition Waveform” on

Clock Edge (CR[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.
Burst Wrap (CR[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 (CR[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 (CR[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 CR[3]=0 (wrap mode) and CR[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 CR[3]=1 (no-wrap mode) and CR[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. CR[3]=1 not only enables limited non-
aligned sequential bursts, but also reduces power by minimizing the number of internal read
operations.
Setting CR[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. CR[3]=1 while in 4-word burst mode
(no-wrap mode) reduces this excess power consumption.
8.10
Burst Length (CR[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 19, “Sequence and Burst Length” on page 53). When a burst cycle begins, the device outputs
synchronous burst data until it reaches the end of the “burstable” address space.

Power Consumption
1.8 Volt Intel® Wireless Flash memory 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.
9.1
9.2
Active Power
With CE# at VIL and RST# at VIH, the device is in the active mode. Refer to Section 10.3, “DC
Current Characteristics (.13 µm and .18 µm)” on page 58, 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.
9.3
9.4
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
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.
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.
Datasheet
55
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
9.4.1
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.
9.4.2
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.
9.5
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.

1. See Figure 34, “AC Input/Output Reference Waveform” on page 81 for timing measurements and maximum allowable input
slew rate.
2. AC specifications assume the data bus voltage is less than or equal to VCCQ when a read operation is initiated.
3. Address hold in synchronous-burst mode is defined as tCHAX or tVHAX, whichever timing specification is satisfied first.
4. OE# may be delayed by up to tELQV– tGLQV after the falling edge of CE# without impact to tELQV
.
5. Sampled, not 100% tested.
6. Applies only to subsequent synchronous reads.
7. During the initial access of a synchronous burst read, data from the first word may begin to be driven onto the data bus as
early as the first clock edge after tAVQV
.
8. All specs above apply to all densities.

NOTES:
1. Section 8.2, “First Access Latency Count (CR[13:11])” on page 48 describes how to insert clock cycles during
the initial access.
2. WAIT (shown asserted; CR.10=0) can be configured to assert either during, or one data cycle before, valid
data.
3. 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).

NOTES:
1. Write timing characteristics during erase suspend are the same as during write-only operations.
2. A write operation can be terminated with either CE# or WE#.
3. Sampled, not 100% tested.
4. Write pulse width low (tWLWH or tELEH) is defined from CE# or WE# low (whichever occurs last) to CE# or WE# high
(whichever occurs first). Hence, tWLWH = tELEH = tWLEH = tELWH
5. Write pulse width high (tWHWL or tEHEL) is defined from CE# or WE# high (whichever is first) to CE# or WE# low (whichever is
last). Hence, tWHWL = tEHEL = tWHEL = tEHWL
.
.
6. System designers should take this into account and may insert a software No-Op instruction to delay the first read after
issuing a command.
7. For commands other than resume commands.
8. VPP should be held at VPP1 or VPP2 until block erase or program success is determined.
9. Applicable during asynchronous reads following a write.
10.tWHCH/L OR tWHVH must be met when transitioning from a write cycle to a synchronous burst read. tWHCH/L and tWHVH both refer to
the address latching event (either the rising/falling clock edge or the rising ADV# edge, whichever occurs first).

NOTES:
1. Write timing characteristics during erase suspend are the same as during write-only operations.
2. A write operation can be terminated with either CE# or WE#.
3. Sampled, not 100% tested.
4. Write pulse width low (tWLWH or tELEH) is defined from CE# or WE# low (whichever occurs last) to CE# or WE#
high (whichever occurs first). Hence, tWLWH = tELEH = tWLEH = tELWH
5. Write pulse width high (tWHWL or tEHEL) is defined from CE# or WE# high (whichever is first) to CE# or WE# low
(whichever is last). Hence, tWHWL = tEHEL = tWHEL = tEHWL
.
.
6. System designers should take this into account and may insert a software No-Op instruction to delay the first
read after issuing a command.
7. For commands other than resume commands.
8. VPP should be held at VPP1 or VPP2 until block erase or program success is determined.
9. Applicable during asynchronous reads following a write.
10.tWHCH/L OR tWHVH must be met when transitioning from a write cycle to a synchronous burst read. tWHCH/L and tWHVH
both refer to the address latching event (either the rising/falling clock edge or the rising ADV# edge, whichever
occurs first).

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.
84
Datasheet
Intel® Wireless Flash Memory (W18)
2. Illegal commands are those not defined in the command set.
3. 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.
5. If the WSM is active, both cycles of a 2 cycle command are ignored. This differs from previous Intel devices.
6. 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).
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. The "current state" is that of the WSM, not the partition.
9. 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.

Appendix B Common Flash Interface
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.

NOTES:
1. Refer to the Query Structure Output section and offset 28h for the detailed definition of offset address as a
function of device bus width and mode.
2. BA = Block Address beginning location (i.e., 08000h is block 1’s beginning location when the block size is
32K-word).
3. 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.
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.
