GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The MX29LV401T/B is a 4-mega bit Flash memory or-  
ganized as 512K bytes of 8 bits or 256K words of 16  
bits. MXIC's Flash memories offer the most cost-effec-  
tive and reliable read/write non-volatile random access  
memory. The MX29LV401T/B is packaged in 44-pin  
SOP, 48-pinTSOP and 48-ball CSP. It is designed to be  
reprogrammed and erased in system or in standard  
EPROM programmers.  
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory contents  
even after 100,000 erase and program cycles. The MXIC  
cell is designed to optimize the erase and programming  
mechanisms. In addition, the combination of advanced  
tunnel oxide processing and low internal electric fields  
for erase and program operations produces reliable cy-  
cling. The MX29LV401T/B uses a 2.7V~3.6VVCC sup-  
ply to perform the High Reliability Erase and auto Pro-  
gram/Erase algorithms.  
The standard MX29LV401T/B offers access time as fast  
as 55ns, allowing operation of high-speed microproces-  
sors without wait states. To eliminate bus contention,  
the MX29LV401T/B has separate chip enable (CE) and  
output enable (OE) controls.  
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved  
with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process. Latch-up pro-  
tection is proved for stresses up to 100 milliamps on  
address and data pin from -1V to VCC + 1V.  
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality  
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The  
MX29LV401T/B uses a command register to manage  
this functionality. The command register allows for 100%  
TTL level control inputs and fixed power supply levels  
during erase and programming, while maintaining maxi-  
mum EPROM compatibility.

MX29LV401T/B  
AUTOMATIC ERASE ALGORITHM  
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING  
MXIC's Automatic Erase algorithm requires the user to  
write commands to the command register using stan-  
dard microprocessor write timings. The device will auto-  
matically pre-program and verify the entire array. Then  
the device automatically times the erase pulse width,  
provides the erase verification, and counts the number  
of sequences. A status bit toggling between consecu-  
tive read cycles provides feedback to the user as to the  
status of the erasing operation.  
The MX29LV401T/B is byte programmable using the Au-  
tomatic Programming algorithm. The Automatic Pro-  
gramming algorithm makes the external system do not  
need to have time out sequence nor to verify the data  
programmed. The typical chip programming time at room  
temperature of the MX29LV401T/B is less than 10 sec-  
onds.  
AUTOMATIC CHIP ERASE  
Register contents serve as inputs to an internal state-  
machine which controls the erase and programming cir-  
cuitry. During write cycles, the command register inter-  
nally latches address and data needed for the program-  
ming and erase operations. During a system write cycle,  
addresses are latched on the falling edge, and data are  
latched on the rising edge of WE or CE, whichever hap-  
pens first.  
The entire chip is bulk erased using 10 ms erase pulses  
according to MXIC's Automatic Chip Erase algorithm.  
Typical erasure at room temperature is accomplished in  
less than 25 second. The Automatic Erase algorithm  
automatically programs the entire array prior to electri-  
cal erase. The timing and verification of electrical erase  
are controlled internally within the device.  
MXIC's Flash technology combines years of EPROM  
experience to produce the highest levels of quality, reli-  
ability, and cost effectiveness.The MX29LV401T/B elec-  
trically erases all bits simultaneously using Fowler-  
Nordheim tunneling. The bytes are programmed by us-  
ing the EPROM programming mechanism of hot elec-  
tron injection.  
AUTOMATIC SECTOR ERASE  
The MX29LV401T/B is sector(s) erasable using MXIC's  
Auto Sector Erase algorithm. The Automatic Sector  
Erase algorithm automatically programs the specified  
sector(s) prior to electrical erase. The timing and verifi-  
cation of electrical erase are controlled internally within  
the device. An erase operation can erase one sector,  
multiple sectors, or the entire device.  
During a program cycle, the state-machine will control  
the program sequences and command register will not  
respond to any command set. During a Sector Erase  
cycle, the command register will only respond to Erase  
Suspend command. After Erase Suspend is completed,  
the device stays in read mode. After the state machine  
has completed its task, it will allow the command regis-  
ter to respond to its full command set.  
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM  
MXIC's Automatic Programming algorithm requires the  
user to only write program set-up commands (including  
2 unlock write cycle and A0H) and a program command  
(program data and address). The device automatically  
times the programming pulse width, provides the pro-  
gram verification, and counts the number of sequences.  
The device provides an unlock bypass mode with faster  
programming. Only two write cycles are needed to pro-  
gram a word or byte, instead of four. A status bit similar  
to DATA polling and a status bit toggling between con-  
secutive read cycles, provide feedback to the user as  
to the status of the programming operation. Refer to write  
operation status, table7, for more information on these  
status bits.  
AUTOMATIC SELECT  
The automatic select mode provides manufacturer and  
device identification, and sector protection verification,  
through identifier codes output on Q7~Q0.This mode is  
mainly adapted for programming equipment on the de-  
vice to be programmed with its programming algorithm.  
When programming by high voltage method, automatic  
select mode requires VID (11.5V to 12.5V) on address  
pin A9 and other address pin A6, A1 as referring toTable  
3. In addition, to access the automatic select codes in-  
system, the host can issue the automatic select com-

MX29LV401T/B  
mand through the command register without requiring  
VID, as shown in table4.  
To verify whether or not sector being protected, the sec-  
tor address must appear on the appropriate highest or-  
der address bit (see Table 1 and Table 2). The rest of  
address bits, as shown in table3, are don't care. Once  
all necessary bits have been set as required, the pro-  
gramming equipment may read the corresponding iden-  
tifier code on Q7~Q0.

REQUIREMENTS FOR READING ARRAY  
DATA  
To read array data from the outputs, the system must  
drive the CE and OE pins toVIL. CE is the power control  
and selects the device. OE is the output control and gates  
array data to the output pins. WE should remain at VIH.  
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the  
active current specification for the write mode.The "AC  
Characteristics" section contains timing specification  
table and timing diagrams for write operations.  
The internal state machine is set for reading array data  
upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This  
ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory contect  
occurs during the power transition. No command is  
necessary in this mode to obtain array data. Standard  
microprocessor read cycles that assert valid address on  
the device address inputs produce valid data on the device  
data outputs.The device remains enabled for read access  
until the command register contents are altered.  
STANDBY MODE  
When using both pins of CE and RESET, the device  
enter CMOS Standby with both pins held at Vcc±0.3V.  
IF CE and RESET are held at VIH, but not within the  
range ofVCC ± 0.3V, the device will still be in the standby  
mode, but the standby currect will be larger.During Auto  
Algorithm operation,Vcc active current (Icc2) is required  
even CE = "H" until the operation is complated.The de-  
vice can be read with standard access time (tCE) from  
either of these standby modes, before it is ready to read  
data.  
WRITE COMMANDS/COMMAND  
SEQUENCES  
To program data to the device or erase sectors of memory  
, the sysytem must drive WE and CE to VIL, and OE to  
VIH.  
OUTPUT DISABLE  
With the OE input at a logic high level (VIH), output from  
the devices are disabled.This will cause the output pins  
to be in a high impedance state.  
The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facilitate  
faster programming. Once the device enters the Unlock  
Bypass mode, only two write cycles are required to  
program a byte, instead of four. The "byte Program  
Command Sequence" section has details on  
programming data to the device using both standard and  
Unlock Bypass command sequences.  
RESET OPERATION  
The RESET pin provides a hardware method of resetting  
the device to reading array data.When the RESET pin is  
driven low for at least a period of tRP, the device  
immediately terminates any operation in progress,  
tristates all output pins, and ignores all read/write  
commands for the duration of the RESET pluse. The  
device also resets the internal state machine to reading  
array data.The operation that was interrupted should be  
reinitated once the device is ready to accept another  
command sequence, to ensure data integrity  
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors  
, or the entire device.Table indicates the address space  
that each sector occupies. A "sector address" consists  
of the address bits required to uniquely select a sector.  
The "Writing specific address and data commands or  
sequences into the command register initiates device  
operations. Table 1 defines the valid register command  
sequences.Writing incorrect address and data values or  
writing them in the improper sequence resets the device  
to reading array data."section has details on erasing a  
sector or the entire chip, or suspending/resuming the erase  
operation.  
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET pulse.  
When RESET is held at VSS±0.3V, the device draws  
CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET is held at VIL  
but not within VSS±0.3V, the standby current will be  
greater.  
After the system writes the autoselect command  
sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The  
system can then read autoselect codes from the internal  
reqister (which is separate from the memory array) on  
Q7-Q0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this mode.  
The RESET pin may be tied to system reset circuitry. A  
system reset would that also reset the Flash memory,  
enabling the system to read the boot-up firm-ware from  
P/N:PM0853

MX29LV401T/B  
the Flash memory.  
SET-UP AUTOMATIC CHIP/SECTOR ERASE  
COMMANDS  
If RESET is asserted during a program or erase  
operation, the RY/BY pin remains a "0" (busy) until the  
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a  
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The  
sysytem can thus monitor RY/BY to determine whether  
the reset operation is complete. If RESET is asserted  
when a program or erase operation is commpleted within  
a time of tREADY (not during Embedded Algorithms).  
The system can read data tRH after the RESET pin  
returns toVIH.  
Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two  
"unlock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the  
"set-up" command 80H. Two more "unlock" write cy-  
cles are then followed by the chip erase command 10H  
or sector erase command 30H.  
The Automatic Chip Erase does not require the device  
to be entirely pre-programmed prior to executing the Au-  
tomatic Chip Erase. Upon executing the Automatic Chip  
Erase, the device will automatically program and verify  
the entire memory for an all-zero data pattern. When the  
device is automatically verified to contain an all-zero  
pattern, a self-timed chip erase and verify begin. The  
erase and verify operations are completed when the data  
on Q7 is "1" at which time the device returns to the  
Read mode. The system is not required to provide any  
control or timing during these operations.  
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET  
parameters and to Figure 22 for the timing diagram.  
READ/RESET COMMAND  
The read or reset operation is initiated by writing the  
read/reset command sequence into the command reg-  
ister. Microprocessor read cycles retrieve array data.  
The device remains enabled for reads until the command  
register contents are altered.  
When using the Automatic Chip Erase algorithm, note  
that the erase automatically terminates when adequate  
erase margin has been achieved for the memory array(no  
erase verification command is required).  
If program-fail or erase-fail happen, the write of F0H will  
reset the device to abort the operation. A valid com-  
mand must then be written to place the device in the  
desired state.  
If the Erase operation was unsuccessful, the data on  
Q5 is "1"(see Table 7), indicating the erase operation  
exceed internal timing limit.  
The automatic erase begins on the rising edge of the  
last WE or CE pulse, whichever happens first in the  
command sequence and terminates when the data on  
Q7 is "1" and the data on Q6 stops toggling for two con-  
secutive read cycles, at which time the device returns  
to the Read mode.  
SILICON-ID READ COMMAND  
Flash memories are intended for use in applications where  
the local CPU alters memory contents. As such, manu-  
facturer and device codes must be accessible while the  
device resides in the target system. PROM program-  
mers typically access signature codes by raising A9 to  
a high voltage(VID). However, multiplexing high voltage  
onto address lines is not generally desired system de-  
sign practice.  
The MX29LV401T/B contains a Silicon-ID-Read opera-  
tion to supple traditional PROM programming methodol-  
ogy. The operation is initiated by writing the read silicon  
ID command sequence into the command register. Fol-  
lowing the command write, a read cycle with A1=VIL,  
A0=VIL retrieves the manufacturer code of C2H/00C2H.  
A read cycle with A1=VIL, A0=VIH returns the device  
code of B9H/22B9H for MX29LV401T, BAH/22BAH for  
MX29LV401B.

READING ARRAY DATA  
RESET COMMAND  
Writing the reset command to the device resets the  
device to reading array data. Address bits are don't care  
for this command.  
The device is automatically set to reading array data  
after device power-up. No commands are required to  
retrieve data.The device is also ready to read array data  
after completing an Automatic Program or Automatic  
Erase algorithm.  
The reset command may be written between the se-  
quence cycles in an erase command sequence before  
erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array  
data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ignores  
reset commands until the operation is complete.  
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,  
the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The sys-  
tem can read array data using the standard read tim-  
ings, except that if it reads at an address within erase-  
suspended sectors, the device outputs status data. After  
completing a programming operation in the Erase  
Suspend mode, the system may once again read array  
data with the same exception. See rase Suspend/Erase  
Resume Commands” for more infor-mation on this mode.  
The system must issue the reset command to re-en-  
able the device for reading array data if Q5 goes high, or  
while in the autoselect mode. See the "Reset Command"  
section, next.  
The reset command may be written between the se-  
quence cycles in a program command sequence be-fore  
programming begins. This resets the device to reading  
array data (also applies to programming in Erase  
Suspend mode). Once programming begins,however, the  
device ignores reset commands until the operation is  
complete.  
The reset command may be written between the se-  
quence cycles in an SILICON ID READ command  
sequence. Once in the SILICON ID READ mode, the  
reset command must be written to return to reading array  
data (also applies to SILICON ID READ during Erase  
Suspend).  
If Q5 goes high during a program or erase operation,  
writing the reset command returns the device to read-  
ing array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).

SECTOR ERASE COMMANDS  
The Automatic Sector Erase does not require the de-  
vice to be entirely pre-programmed prior to executing  
the Automatic Sector Erase Set-up command and Au-  
tomatic Sector Erase command. Upon executing the  
Automatic Sector Erase command, the device will auto-  
matically program and verify the sector(s) memory for  
an all-zero data pattern. The system is not required to  
provide any control or timing during these operations.  
(no erase verification command is required). Sector  
erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two "un-  
lock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the set-  
up command 80H. Two more "unlock" write cycles are  
then followed by the sector erase command 30H. The  
sector address is latched on the falling edge of WE or  
CE, whichever happens later, while the command(data)  
is latched on the rising edge of WE or CE, whichever  
happens first. Sector addresses selected are loaded  
into internal register on the sixth falling edge of WE or  
CE, whichever happens later. Each successive sector  
load cycle started by the falling edge of WE or CE,  
whichever happens later must begin within 50us from  
the rising edge of the preceding WE or CE, whichever  
happens first. Otherwise, the loading period ends and  
internal auto sector erase cycle starts. (Monitor Q3 to  
determine if the sector erase timer window is still open,  
see section Q3, Sector EraseTimer.) Any command other  
than Sector Erase(30H) or Erase Suspend(B0H) during  
the time-out period resets the device to read mode.  
When the sector(s) is automatically verified to contain  
an all-zero pattern, a self-timed sector erase and verify  
begin. The erase and verify operations are complete  
when the data on Q7 is "1" and the data on Q6 stops  
toggling for two consecutive read cycles, at which time  
the device returns to the Read mode. The system is not  
required to provide any control or timing during these  
operations.  
When using the Automatic sector Erase algorithm, note  
that the erase automatically terminates when adequate  
erase margin has been achieved for the memory array

MX29LV401T/B  
The device provides Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6, Q7, and RY/BY to  
determine the status of a write operation. If the program  
operation was unsuccessful, the data on Q5 is "1"(see  
Table 7), indicating the program operation exceed inter-  
nal timing limit.The automatic programming operation is  
completed when the data read on Q6 stops toggling for  
two consecutive read cycles and the data on Q7 and Q6  
are equivalent to data written to these two bits, at which  
time the device returns to the Read mode(no program  
verify command is required).  
ERASE SUSPEND  
This command only has meaning while the state ma-  
chine is executing Automatic Sector Erase operation,  
and therefore will only be responded during Automatic  
Sector Erase operation. When the Erase Suspend com-  
mand is written during a sector erase operation, the de-  
vice requires a maximum of 20us to suspend the erase  
operations.However,When the Erase Suspend command  
is written during the sector erase time-out, the device  
immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends  
the erase operation. After this command has been ex-  
ecuted, the command register will initiate erase suspend  
mode. The state machine will return to read mode auto-  
matically after suspend is ready. At this time, state ma-  
chine only allows the command register to respond to  
the Read Memory Array, Erase Resume and program  
commands.  
WORD/BYTE PROGRAM COMMAND SEQUENCE  
The device programs one byte of data for each program  
operation. The command sequence requires four bus  
cycles, and is initiated by writing two unlock write cycles,  
followed by the program set-up command. The program  
address and data are written next, which in turn initiate  
the Embedded Program algorithm. The system is not  
required to provide further controls or timings.The device  
automatically generates the program pulses and verifies  
the programmed cell margin. Table 1 shows the address  
and data requirements for the byte program command  
sequence.  
The system can determine the status of the program  
operation using the Q7 or Q6 status bits, just as in the  
standard program operation. After an erase-suspend pro-  
gram operation is complete, the system can once again  
read array data within non-suspended sectors.  
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,  
the device then returns to reading array data and  
addresses are no longer latched. The system can  
determine the status of the program operation by using  
Q7, Q6, or RY/BY. See "Write Operation Status" for  
information on these status bits.  
ERASE RESUME  
This command will cause the command register to clear  
the suspend state and return back to Sector Erase mode  
but only if an Erase Suspend command was previously  
issued. Erase Resume will not have any effect in all  
other conditions. Another Erase Suspend command can  
be written after the chip has resumed erasing.  
Any commands written to the device during the Em-  
bedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a  
hardware reset immediately terminates the programming  
operat ion.The Byte Program command sequence should  
be reinitiated once the device has reset to reading array  
data, to ensure data integrity.  
AUTOMATIC PROGRAM COMMANDS  
To initiate Automatic Program mode, A three-cycle com-  
mand sequence is required. There are two "unlock" write  
cycles. These are followed by writing the Automatic Pro-  
gram command A0H.  
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across  
sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed from a  
"0" back to a "1". Attempting to do so may halt the  
operation and set Q5 to "1" ,or cause the Data Polling  
algorithm to indicate the operation was successful.  
However, a succeeding read will show that the data is  
still "0". Only erase operations can convert a "0" to a  
"1".  
Once the Automatic Program command is initiated, the  
next WE pulse causes a transition to an active program-  
ming operation. Addresses are latched on the falling  
edge, and data are internally latched on the rising edge  
of the WE or CE, whichever happens first. The rising  
edge of WE or CE, whichever happens first, also begins  
the programming operation. The system is not required  
to provide further controls or timings. The device will  
automatically provide an adequate internally generated  
program pulse and verify margin.  
WRITE OPERSTION STATUS  
The device provides several bits to determine the sta-  
tus of a write operation: Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6, Q7, and RY/  
BY.Table 10 and the following subsections describe the  
P/N:PM0853  
REV. 0.0, SEP. 14, 2001  
13  
MX29LV401T/B  
functions of these bits. Q7, RY/BY, and DQ6 each offer  
a method for determining whether a program or erase  
operation is complete or in progress. These three bits  
are discussed first.  
RY/BY:Ready/Busy  
The RY/BY is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that  
indicates whether an Automatic Erase/Program algorithm  
is in progress or complete. The RY/BY status is valid  
after the rising edge of the final WE or CE, whichever  
happens first, in the command sequence. Since RY/BY  
is an open-drain output, several RY/BY pins can be tied  
together in parallel with a pull-up resistor to Vcc.  
Q7: Data Polling  
The Data Polling bit, Q7, indicates to the host sys-tem  
whether an Automatic Algorithm is in progress or com-  
pleted, or whether the device is in Erase Suspend. Data  
Polling is valid after the rising edge of the finalWE pulse  
in the program or erase command sequence.  
If the output is low (Busy), the device is actively erasing  
or programming. (This includes programming in the Erase  
Suspend mode.)If the output is high (Ready), the device  
is ready to read array data (including during the Erase  
Suspend mode), or is in the standby mode.  
During the Automatic Program algorithm, the device out-  
puts on Q7 the complement of the datum programmed  
to Q7.This Q7 status also applies to programming dur-  
ing Er ase Suspend.When the Automatic Program algo-  
rithm is complete, the device outputs the datum pro-  
grammed to Q7.The system must provide the program  
address to read valid status information on Q7. If a pro-  
gram address falls within a protected sector, Data Poll-  
ing on Q7 is active for approximately 1 us, then the de-  
vice returns to reading array data.  
Table 7 shows the outputs for RY/BY during write opera-  
tion.  
Q6:Toggle BIT I  
Toggle Bit I on Q6 indicates whether an Automatic Pro-  
gram or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete, or  
whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend mode.  
Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid  
after the rising edge of the final WE or CE, whichever  
happens first, in the command sequence(prior to the pro-  
gram or erase operation), and during the sector time-  
out.  
During the Automatic Erase algorithm, Data Polling pro-  
duces a "0" on Q7. When the Automatic Erase algo-  
rithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase Sus-  
pend mode, Data Polling produces a "1" on Q7. This is  
analogous to the complement/true datum out-put de-  
scribed for the Automatic Program algorithm: the erase  
function changes all the bits in a sector to "1" prior to  
this, the device outputs the "complement,or "0".The  
system must provide an address within any of the sec-  
tors selected for erasure to read valid status information  
on Q7.  
During an Automatic Program or Erase algorithm opera-  
tion, successive read cycles to any address cause Q6  
to toggle.The system may use either OE or CE to con-  
trol the read cycles.When the operation is complete, Q6  
stops toggling.  
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sec-  
tors selected for erasing are protected, Q6 toggles and  
returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors  
are protected, the Automatic Erase algorithm erases the  
unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors  
that are protected.  
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sec-  
tors selected for erasing are protected, Data Polling on  
Q7 is active for approximately 100 us, then the device  
returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors  
are protected, the Automatic Erase algorithm erases the  
unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors  
that are protected.  
The system can use Q6 and Q2 together to determine  
whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase sus-  
pended.When the device is actively erasing (that is, the  
Automatic Erase algorithm is in progress), Q6 toggling.  
When the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Q6  
stops toggling. However, the system must also use Q2  
to determine which sectors are erasing or erase-sus-  
pended. Alternatively, the system can use Q7.  
When the system detects Q7 has changed from the  
complement to true data, it can read valid data at Q7-Q0  
on the following read cycles. This is because Q7 may  
change asynchr onously with Q0-Q6 while Output En-  
able (OE) is asserted low.

MX29LV401T/B  
If a program address falls within a protected sector, Q6  
toggles for approximately 2 us after the program com-  
mand sequence is written, then returns to reading array  
data.  
high. If the toggle bit is no longer toggling, the device  
has successfuly completed the program or erase opera-  
tion. If it is still toggling, the device did not complete the  
operation successfully, and the system must write the  
reset command to return to reading array data.  
Q6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program mode,  
and stops toggling once the Automatic Program algo-  
rithm is complete.  
The remaining scenario is that system initially determines  
that the toggle bit is toggling and Q5 has not gone high.  
The system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and  
Q5 through successive read cycles, determining the sta-  
tus as described in the previous paragraph. Alterna-  
tively, it may choose to perform other system tasks. In  
this case, the system must start at the beginning of the  
algorithm when it returns to determine the status of the  
operation.  
Table 7 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on Q6.  
Q2:Toggle Bit II  
The "Toggle Bit II" on Q2, when used with Q6, indicates  
whether a particular sector is actively eraseing (that is,  
the Automatic Erase alorithm is in process), or whether  
that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit II is valid  
after the rising edge of the final WE or CE, whichever  
happens first, in the command sequence.  
Q5  
ExceededTiming Limits  
Q5 will indicate if the program or erase time has ex-  
ceeded the specified limits(internal pulse count). Under  
these conditions Q5 will produce a "1". This time-out  
condition indicates that the program or erase cycle was  
not successfully completed. Data Polling andToggle Bit  
are the only operating functions of the device under this  
condition.  
Q2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within  
those sectors that have been selected for erasure. (The  
system may use either OE or CE to control the read  
cycles.) But Q2 cannot distinguish whether the sector  
is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. Q6, by com-  
parison, indicates whether the device is actively eras-  
ing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish which  
sectors are selected for erasure. Thus, both status bits  
are required for sectors and mode information. Refer to  
Table 7 to compare outputs for Q2 and Q6.  
If this time-out condition occurs during sector erase op-  
eration, it specifies that a particular sector is bad and it  
may not be reused. However, other sectors are still func-  
tional and may be used for the program or erase opera-  
tion. The device must be reset to use other sectors.  
Write the Reset command sequence to the device, and  
then execute program or erase command sequence. This  
allows the system to continue to use the other active  
sectors in the device.  
Reading Toggle Bits Q6/ Q2  
Whenever the system initially begins reading toggle bit  
status, it must read Q7-Q0 at least twice in a row to  
determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the  
system would note and store the value of the toggle bit  
after the first read. After the second read, the system  
would compare the new value of the toggle bit with the  
first. If the toggle bit is not toggling, the device has  
completed the program or erase operation. The system  
can read array data on Q7-Q0 on the following read cycle.  
If this time-out condition occurs during the chip erase  
operation, it specifies that the entire chip is bad or com-  
bination of sectors are bad.  
If this time-out condition occurs during the byte program-  
ming operation, it specifies that the entire sector con-  
taining that byte is bad and this sector maynot be re-  
used, (other sectors are still functional and can be re-  
used).  
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system  
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the sys-  
tem also should note whether the value of Q5 is high  
(see the section on Q5). If it is, the system should then  
determine again whether the toggle bit is toggling, since  
the toggle bit may have stopped toggling just as Q5 went  
The time-out condition will not appear if a user tries to  
program a non blank location without erasing. Please  
note that this is not a device failure condition since the  
device was incorrectly used.

Q3  
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING  
Sector Erase Timer  
In order to reduce power switching effect, each device  
should have a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor connected be-  
tween itsVCC and GND.  
After the completion of the initial sector erase command  
sequence, the sector erase time-out will begin. Q3 will  
remain low until the time-out is complete. Data Polling  
andToggle Bit are valid after the initial sector erase com-  
mand sequence.  
POWER-UP SEQUENCE  
The MX29LV401T/B powers up in the Read only mode.  
In addition, the memory contents may only be altered  
after successful completion of the predefined command  
sequences.  
If Data Polling or theToggle Bit indicates the device has  
been written with a valid erase command, Q3 may be  
used to determine if the sector erase timer window is  
still open. If Q3 is high ("1") the internally controlled  
erase cycle has begun; attempts to write subsequent  
commands to the device will be ignored until the erase  
operation is completed as indicated by Data Polling or  
Toggle Bit. If Q3 is low ("0"), the device will accept  
additional sector erase commands. To insure the com-  
mand has been accepted, the system software should  
check the status of Q3 prior to and following each sub-  
sequent sector erase command. If Q3 were high on the  
second status check, the command may not have been  
accepted.  
TEMPORARY SECTOR UNPROTECT  
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously  
protected sector to change data in-system.TheTempo-  
rary Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the  
RESET pin toVID(11.5V-12.5V). During this mode, for-  
merly protected sectors can be programmed or erased  
as un-protected sector. Once VID is remove from the  
RESET pin,all the previously protected sectors are pro-  
tected again.  
DATA PROTECTION  
The MX29LV401T/B is designed to offer protection  
against accidental erasure or programming caused by  
spurious system level signals that may exist during power  
transition. During power up the device automatically re-  
sets the state machine in the Read mode. In addition,  
with its control register architecture, alteration of the  
memory contents only occurs after successful comple-  
tion of specific command sequences. The device also  
incorporates several features to prevent inadvertent write  
cycles resulting fromVCC power-up and power-down tran-  
sition or system noise.  
SECTOR PROTECTION  
The MX29LV401T/B features hardware sector protec-  
tion. This feature will disable both program and erase  
operations for these sectors protected. To activate this  
mode, the programming equipment must force VID on  
address pin A9 and OE (suggestVID = 12V). Program-  
ming of the protection circuitry begins on the falling edge  
of the WE pulse and is terminated on the rising edge.  
Please refer to sector protect algorithm and waveform.  
To verify programming of the protection circuitry, the pro-  
gramming equipment must forceVID on address pin A9  
( with CE and OE atVIL andWE atVIH). When A1=VIH,  
A0=VIL, A6=VIL, it will produce a logical "1" code at  
device output Q0 for a protected sector. Otherwise the  
device will produce 00H for the unprotected sector. In  
this mode, the addresses,except for A1, are don't care.  
Address locations with A1 = VIL are reserved to read  
manufacturer and device codes.(Read Silicon ID)  
WRITE PULSE "GLITCH" PROTECTION  
Noise pulses of less than 5ns(typical) on CE or WE will  
not initiate a write cycle.  
LOGICAL INHIBIT  
Writing is inhibited by holding any one of OE = VIL, CE  
= VIH or WE = VIH. To initiate a write cycle CE and WE  
must be a logical zero while OE is a logical one.  
It is also possible to determine if the sector is protected  
in the system by writing a Read Silicon ID command.  
Performing a read operation with A1=VIH, it will produce  
a logical "1" at Q0 for the protected sector.

MX29LV401T/B  
CHIP UNPROTECT  
The MX29LV401T/B also features the chip unprotect  
mode, so that all sectors are unprotected after chip  
unprotectiscompletedtoincorporateanychangesinthe  
code. It is recommended to protect all sectors before  
activating chip unprotect mode.  
Toactivatethismode,theprogrammingequipmentmust  
forceVIDoncontrolpinOEandaddresspinA9. TheCE  
pins must be set at VIL. Pins A6 must be set to VIH.(see  
Table2) Refertochipunprotect algorithmandwaveform  
for the chip unprotect algorithm. The unprotection  
mechanism begins on the falling edge of the WE pulse  
and is terminated on the rising edge.  
It is also possible to determine if the chip is unprotected  
in the system by writing the Read Silicon ID command.  
PerformingareadoperationwithA1=VIH,itwillproduce  
00H at data outputs(Q0-Q7) for an unprotected sector.  
It is noted that all sectors are unprotected after the chip  
unprotect algorithm is completed.
