GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The Am29LV040B is a single power supply, 4 Mbit, 3.0  
Volt-only Flash memory device organized as 524,288  
bytes. The data appears on DQ0-DQ7. The device is  
available in 32-pin PLCC and 32-pin TSOP packages. All  
read, erase, and program operations are accomplished  
using only a single power supply. The device can also be  
programmed in standard EPROM programmers.  
preprograms the array (if it is not already programmed)  
before executing the erase operation. During erase, the  
device automatically times the erase pulse widths and  
verifies proper cell margin.  
The host system can detect whether a program or  
erase operation is complete by reading the DQ7 (Data#  
Polling) and DQ6 (toggle) status bits. After a program  
or erase cycle has been completed, the device is ready  
to read array data or accept another command.  
The device offers access times of 60, 70, 90, and 120 ns  
allowing high speed microprocessors to operate without  
wait states. To eliminate bus contention, the device has  
separate control pins—chip enable (CE#), write enable  
(WE#), and output enable (OE#)—to control normal  
read and write operations.  
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors  
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the  
data contents of other sectors. The device is fully  
erased when shipped from the factory.  
The device requires only a single power supply  
(2.7 V–3.6V) for both read and write functions. Inter-  
nally generated and regulated voltages are provided for  
the program and erase operations.  
Hardware data protection measures include a low  
VCC detector that automatically inhibits write opera-  
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector  
protection feature disables both program and erase  
operations in any combination of the sectors of  
memory. This is achieved via programming equipment.  
The device is entirely command set compatible with the  
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Com-  
mands are written to the command register using  
standard microprocessor write timings. Register con-  
tents serve as input to an internal state-machine that  
controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write  
cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed  
for the programming and erase operations. Reading  
data out of the device is similar to reading from other  
Flash or EPROM devices.  
The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put  
erase on hold for any period of time to read data from,  
or program data to, any sector that is not selected for  
erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.  
The device offers two power-saving features. When  
addresses have been stable for a specified amount of  
time, the device enters the automatic sleep mode.  
The system can also place the device into the standby  
mode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in both  
these modes.  
Device programming occurs by executing the program  
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded  
Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that auto-  
matically times the program pulse widths and verifies  
proper cell margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facili-  
tates faster programming times by requiring only two  
write cycles to program data instead of four.  
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash  
memory manufacturing experience to produce the  
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness.  
The device electrically erases all bits within a sector  
simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The  
data is programmed using hot electron injection.  
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase  
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded  
Erase algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS  
This section describes the requirements and use of the  
device bus operations, which are initiated through the  
internal command register. The command register  
itself does not occupy any addressable memory loca-  
tion. The register is composed of latches that store the  
commands, along with the address and data informa-  
tion needed to execute the command. The contents of  
the register serve as inputs to the internal state  
machine. The state machine outputs dictate the func-  
tion of the device. Table 1 lists the device bus  
operations, the inputs and control levels they require,  
and the resulting output. The following subsections  
describe each of these operations in further detail.

Requirements for Reading Array Data  
Writing Commands/Command Sequences  
To read array data from the outputs, the system must  
drive the CE# and OE# pins to VIL. CE# is the power  
control and selects the device. OE# is the output  
control and gates array data to the output pins. WE#  
should remain at VIH.  
To write a command or command sequence (which  
includes programming data to the device and erasing  
sectors of memory), the system must drive WE# and  
CE# to VIL, and OE# to VIH.  
The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facili-  
tate 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.  
The internal state machine is set for reading array data  
upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This  
ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory  
content occurs during the power transition. No  
command is necessary in this mode to obtain array  
data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert  
valid addresses on the device address inputs produce  
valid data on the device data outputs. The device  
remains enabled for read access until the command  
register contents are altered.  
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sec-  
tors, or the entire device. Table 2 indicates the address  
space that each sector occupies. A “sector address”  
consists of the address bits required to uniquely select  
a sector. The “Command Definitions” section has  
details on erasing a sector or the entire chip, or sus-  
pending/resuming the erase operation.  
See “Reading Array Data” for more information. Refer  
to the AC Read Operations table for timing specifica-  
tions and to Figure 11 for the timing diagram. ICC1 in the  
DC Characteristics table represents the active current  
specification for reading array data.  
After the system writes the autoselect command  
sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The  
system can then read autoselect codes from the  
internal register (which is separate from the memory  
array) on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings apply

in this mode. Refer to the Autoselect Mode and Autose-  
lect Command Sequence sections for more  
information.  
the standby mode, but the standby current will be  
greater. The device requires standard access time (tCE  
for read access when the device is in either of these  
standby modes, before it is ready to read data.  
)
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the  
active current specification for the write mode. The “AC  
Characteristics” section contains timing specification  
tables and timing diagrams for write operations.  
If the device is deselected during erasure or program-  
ming, the device draws active current until the  
operation is completed.  
ICC3 in the DC Characteristics table represents the  
standby current specification.  
Program and Erase Operation Status  
During an erase or program operation, the system may  
check the status of the operation by reading the status  
bits on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC  
read specifications apply. Refer to “Write Operation  
Status” for more information, and to “AC Characteris-  
tics” for timing diagrams.  
Automatic Sleep Mode  
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device  
energy consumption. The device automatically enables  
this mode when addresses remain stable for tACC + 30  
ns. The automatic sleep mode is independent of the  
CE#, WE#, and OE# control signals. Standard address  
access timings provide new data when addresses are  
changed. While in sleep mode, output data is latched  
and always available to the system. ICC4 in the DC  
Characteristics table represents the automatic sleep  
mode current specification.  
Standby Mode  
When the system is not reading or writing to the device,  
it can place the device in the standby mode. In this  
mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and the  
outputs are placed in the high impedance state, inde-  
pendent of the OE# input.  
Output Disable Mode  
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the  
CE# pin is both held at VCC ± 0.3 V. (Note that this is a  
more restricted voltage range than VIH.) If CE# is held  
at VIH, but not within VCC ± 0.3 V, the device will be in  
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is  
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high imped-  
ance state.

Table 3. In addition, when verifying sector protection,  
the sector address must appear on the appropriate  
highest order address bits (see Table 2). Table 3 shows  
the remaining address bits that are don’t care. When all  
necessary bits have been set as required, the program-  
ming equipment may then read the corresponding  
identifier code on DQ7–DQ0.  
Autoselect Mode  
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and  
device identification, and sector protection verification,  
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This  
mode is primarily intended for programming equipment  
to automatically match a device to be programmed with  
its corresponding programming algorithm. However,  
the autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system  
through the command register.  
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host  
system can issue the autoselect command via the  
command register, as shown in Table 4. This method  
does not require VID. See “Command Definitions” for  
details on using the autoselect mode.  
When using programming equipment, the autoselect  
mode requires VID (11.5 V to 12.5 V) on address pin  
A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in

caused by spurious system level signals during VCC

ware sector unprotection feature re-enables both  
program and erase operations in previously protected  
sectors.

Write Inhibit  
CC  
When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not

.
Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection  
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.  
AMD offers the option of programming and protecting  
sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device  
through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an  
AMD representative for details.  
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or  
WE# do not initiate a write cycle.  
Logical Inhibit  
Write cycles are 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 possible to determine whether a sector is protected  
or unprotected. See “Autoselect Mode” for details.  
Hardware Data Protection  
Power-Up Write Inhibit  
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles  
for programming or erasing provides data protection  
against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 4 for  
command definitions). In addition, the following hard-  
ware data protection measures prevent accidental  
If WE# = CE# = VIL and OE# = VIH during power up, the  
device does not accept commands on the rising edge  
of WE#. The internal state machine is automatically  
reset to reading array data on power-up.

COMMAND DEFINITIONS  
Writing specific address and data commands or  
sequences into the command register initiates device  
operations. Table 4 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.  
however, the device ignores reset commands until the  
operation is complete.  
The reset command may be written between the  
sequence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.  
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must  
be written to return to reading array data (also applies  
to autoselect during Erase Suspend).  
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# or  
CE#, whichever happens later. All data is latched on  
the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens  
first. Refer to the appropriate timing diagrams in the  
“AC Characteristics” section.  
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,  
writing the reset command returns the device to  
reading array data (also applies during Erase  
Suspend).  
Reading Array Data  
Autoselect Command Sequence  
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 Embedded Program or  
Embedded Erase algorithm.  
The autoselect command sequence allows the host  
system to access the manufacturer and devices codes,  
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.  
Table 4 shows the address and data requirements. This  
method is an alternative to that shown in Table 3, which  
is intended for PROM programmers and requires VID  
on address bit A9.  
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,  
the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The  
system can read array data using the standard read  
timings, 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 “Erase  
Suspend/Erase Resume Commands” for more infor-  
mation on this mode.  
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by  
writing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect  
command. The device then enters the autoselect  
mode, and the system may read at any address any  
number of times, without initiating another command  
sequence. A read cycle at address 00h retrieves the  
manufacturer code. A read cycle at address 01h  
returns the device code. A read cycle containing a  
sector address (SA) and the address 02h returns 01h if  
that sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer  
to Table 2 for valid sector addresses.  
The system must issue the reset command to re-  
enable the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes  
high, or while in the autoselect mode. See the “Reset  
Command” section, next.  
The system must write the reset command to exit the  
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.  
See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” in the

The Read Operations table provides the read parame-  
ters, and Figure 11 shows the timing diagram.  
Byte Program Command Sequence  
The byte program command sequence programs one  
byte into the device. Programming is a four-bus-cycle  
operation. The program command sequence is initi-  
ated 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 provides internally generated  
program pulses and verify the programmed cell margin.  
Table 4 shows the address and data requirements for  
the byte program command sequence.  
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 reset command may be written between the  
sequence 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.  
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  
DQ7 or DQ6. See “Write Operation Status” for informa-  
tion on these status bits.  
The reset command may be written between the  
sequence cycles in a program command sequence  
before programming begins. This resets the device to  
reading array data (also applies to programming in  
Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins,

Any commands written to the device during the  
Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a  
hardware reset immediately terminates the program-  
ming operation. The Byte Program command  
sequence should be reinitiated once the device has  
reset to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.

Write Program  
Command Sequence  
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 DQ5 to “1”, or cause the Data#  
Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was suc-  
cessful. However, a succeeding read will show that the  
data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert a “0”  
to a “1”.

Unlock Bypass Command Sequence  
Verify Data?  
Yes  
No  
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to  
program bytes to the device faster than using the stan-  
dard program command sequence. The unlock bypass  
command sequence is initiated by first writing two  
unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle  
containing the unlock bypass command, 20h. The  
device then enters the unlock bypass mode. A two-  
cycle unlock bypass program command sequence is all  
that is required to program in this mode. The first cycle  
in this sequence contains the unlock bypass program  
command, A0h; the second cycle contains the program  
address and data. Additional data is programmed in  
the same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial  
two unlock cycles required in the standard program  
command sequence, resulting in faster total program-  
ming time. Table 4 shows the requirements for the  
command sequence.

During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock

are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system

trols or timings during these operations. Table 4 shows  
the address and data requirements for the chip erase  
command sequence.  
Any commands written to the chip during the  
Embedded Erase algorithm are ignored. Note that a  
hardware reset during the chip erase operation imme-  
diately terminates the operation. The Chip Erase  
command sequence should be reinitiated once the  
device has returned to reading array data, to ensure  
data integrity.  
Figure 1 illustrates the algorithm for the program oper-  
ation. See the Erase/Program Operations table in “AC  
Characteristics” for parameters, and to Figure 12 for  
timing diagrams.  
Chip Erase Command Sequence  
The system can determine the status of the erase oper-  
ation by using DQ7, DQ6, or DQ2. See “Write  
Operation Status” for information on these status bits.  
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the  
device returns to reading array data and addresses are  
no longer latched.  
Chip erase is a six bus cycle operation. The chip erase  
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock  
cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional  
unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase  
command, which in turn invokes the Embedded Erase  
algorithm. The device does not require the system to  
preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algo-  
rithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire  
memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical  
erase. The system is not required to provide any con-

Sector Erase Command Sequence  
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands  
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector  
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two  
unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two  
additional unlock write cycles are then followed by the  
address of the sector to be erased, and the sector  
erase command. Table 4 shows the address and data  
requirements for the sector erase command sequence.  
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to  
interrupt a sector erase operation and then read data  
from, or program data to, any sector not selected for  
erasure. This command is valid only during the sector  
erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out period  
during the sector erase command sequence. The  
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during  
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algo-  
rithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the  
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the  
time-out period and suspends the erase operation.  
Addresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase  
Suspend command.  
The device does not require the system to preprogram  
the memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algo-  
rithm automatically programs and verifies the sector for  
an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The  
system is not required to provide any controls or  
timings during these operations.  
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a  
sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum  
of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation. However,  
when the Erase Suspend command is written during  
the sector erase time-out, the device immediately ter-  
minates the time-out period and suspends the erase  
operation.  
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase  
time-out of 50 µs begins. During the time-out period,  
additional sector addresses and sector erase com-  
mands may be written. Loading the sector erase buffer  
may be done in any sequence, and the number of  
sectors may be from one sector to all sectors. The time  
between these additional cycles must be less than 50  
µs, otherwise the last address and command might not  
be accepted, and erasure may begin. It is recom-  
mended that processor interrupts be disabled during  
this time to ensure all commands are accepted. The  
interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase  
command is written. If the time between additional  
sector erase commands can be assumed to be less  
than 50 µs, the system need not monitor DQ3. Any  
command other than Sector Erase or Erase  
Suspend during the time-out period resets the  
device to reading array data. The system must  
rewrite the command sequence and any additional  
sector addresses and commands.  
After the erase operation has been suspended, the  
system can read array data from or program data to  
any sector not selected for erasure. (The device “erase  
suspends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Normal  
read and write timings and command definitions apply.  
Reading at any address within erase-suspended  
sectors produces status data on DQ7–DQ0. The  
system can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to  
determine if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-sus-  
pended. See “Write Operation Status” for information  
on these status bits.  
After an erase-suspended program operation is com-  
plete, the system can once again read array data within  
non-suspended sectors. The system can determine  
the status of the program operation using the DQ7 or  
DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard program oper-  
ation. See “Write Operation Status” for more  
information.  
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector  
erase timer has timed out. (See the “DQ3: Sector Erase  
Timer” section.) The time-out begins from the rising  
edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.  
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the  
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other commands  
are ignored. Note that a hardware reset during the  
sector erase operation immediately terminates the  
operation. The Sector Erase command sequence  
should be reinitiated once the device has returned to  
reading array data, to ensure data integrity.  
The system may also write the autoselect command  
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend  
mode. The device allows reading autoselect codes  
even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the  
codes are not stored in the memory array. When the  
device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to  
the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another  
valid operation. See “Autoselect Command Sequence”  
for more information.  
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the  
device returns to reading array data and addresses are  
no longer latched. The system can determine the  
status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or  
DQ2. (Refer to “Write Operation Status” for information  
on these status bits.)  
The system must write the Erase Resume command  
(address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase suspend  
mode and continue the sector erase operation. Further  
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another  
Erase Suspend command can be written after the  
device has resumed erasing.  
Figure 2 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera-  
tion. Refer to the Erase/Program Operations tables in  
the “AC Characteristics” section for parameters, and to  
Figure 13 for timing diagrams.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS  
The device provides several bits to determine the  
status of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, and  
DQ7. Table 5 and the following subsections describe  
the functions of these bits. DQ7 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.  
Table 5 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.  
Figure 3 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.  
START  
DQ7: Data# Polling  
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host  
system whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress  
or completed, or whether the device is in Erase Sus-  
pend. Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the  
final WE# pulse in the program or erase command  
sequence.  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
Addr = VA  
Yes  
DQ7 = Data?  
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device  
outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum pro-  
grammed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to  
programming during Erase Suspend. When the  
Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device  
outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The system  
must provide the program address to read valid status  
information on DQ7. If a program address falls within a  
protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for  
approximately 1 µs, then the device returns to reading  
array data.  
No  
No  
DQ5 = 1?  
Yes  
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling  
produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase  
algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase  
Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7.  
This is analogous to the complement/true datum output  
described for the Embedded 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 sectors selected for erasure to read valid status  
information on DQ7.  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
Addr = VA  
Yes  
DQ7 = Data?  
No  
PASS  
FAIL  
After an erase command sequence is written, if all  
sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data#  
Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 µs, then  
the device returns to reading array data. If not all  
selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase  
algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores  
the selected sectors that are protected.  
Notes:  
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector  
erase operation, a valid address is an address within any  
sector selected for erasure. During chip erase, a valid  
address is any non-protected sector address.  
When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the  
complement to true data, it can read valid data at DQ7–  
DQ0 on the following read cycles. This is because DQ7  
may change asynchronously with DQ0–DQ6 while  
Output Enable (OE#) is asserted low. Figure 14, Data#  
Polling Timings (During Embedded Algorithms), in the  
“AC Characteristics” section illustrates this.  
2. DQ7 should be rechecked even if DQ5 = “1” because  
DQ7 may change simultaneously with DQ5.  
21354D-5

Am29LV040B

DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses  
within those sectors that have been selected for era-  
sure. (The system may use either OE# or CE# to  
control the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish  
whether the sector is actively erasing or is erase-sus-  
pended. DQ6, by comparison, indicates whether the  
device is actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but  
cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for era-  
sure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and  
mode information. Refer to Table 5 to compare outputs  
for DQ2 and DQ6.  
DQ6: Toggle Bit I  
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded  
Program 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# pulse in the  
command sequence (prior to the program or erase  
operation), and during the sector erase time-out.  
During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm  
operation, successive read cycles to any address  
cause DQ6 to toggle. The system may use either OE#  
or CE# to control the read cycles. When the operation  
is complete, DQ6 stops toggling.  
Figure 4 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart  
form, and the section “DQ2: Toggle Bit II” explains the  
algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection.  
Figure 15 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure  
16 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in  
graphical form.  
After an erase command sequence is written, if all  
sectors selected for erasing are protected, DQ6 toggles  
for approximately 100 µs, then returns to reading array  
data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the  
Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected  
sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are  
protected.  
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2  
Refer to Figure 4 for the following discussion. When-  
ever the system initially begins reading toggle bit  
status, it must read DQ7–DQ0 at least twice in a row to  
determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the  
system would note and store the value of the 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 com-  
pleted the program or erase operation. The system can  
read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the following read  
cycle.  
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to deter-  
mine whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase-  
suspended. When the device is actively erasing (that is,  
the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), DQ6  
toggles. When the device enters the Erase Suspend  
mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system must  
also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are erasing  
or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the system can use  
DQ7 (see the subsection on DQ7: Data# Polling).  
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system  
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the  
system also should note whether the value of DQ5 is  
high (see the section on DQ5). If it is, the system  
should then determine again whether the toggle bit is  
toggling, since the toggle bit may have stopped tog-  
gling just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer  
toggling, the device has successfully completed the  
program or erase operation. If it is still toggling, the  
device did not completed the operation successfully,  
and the system must write the reset command to return  
to reading array data.  
If a program address falls within a protected sector,  
DQ6 toggles for approximately 2 µs after the program  
command sequence is written, then returns to reading  
array data.  
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program  
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded  
Program algorithm is complete.  
Table 5 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6.  
Figure 4 shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 15 in the  
“AC Characteristics” section shows the toggle bit timing  
diagrams. Figure 16 shows the differences between  
DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also the subsec-  
tion on DQ2: Toggle Bit II.  
The remaining scenario is that the system initially  
determines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ5 has  
not gone high. The system may continue to monitor the  
toggle bit and DQ5 through successive read cycles,  
determining the status as described in the previous  
paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to perform  
other system tasks. In this case, the system must start  
at the beginning of the algorithm when it returns to  
determine the status of the operation (top of Figure 4).  
DQ2: Toggle Bit II  
The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indi-  
cates whether a particular sector is actively erasing  
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),  
or whether that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit  
II is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in  
the command sequence.  
16  
Am29LV040B  
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits  
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has  
exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit. Under  
these conditions DQ5 produces a “1.” This is a failure  
condition that indicates the program or erase cycle was  
not successfully completed.  
START  
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system  
tries to program a “1” to a location that is previously pro-  
grammed to “0.” Only an erase operation can change  
a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the device  
halts the operation, and when the operation has  
exceeded the timing limits, DQ5 produces a “1.”  
Read DQ7–DQ0

Under both these conditions, the system must issue the

Toggle Bit

DQ3: Sector Erase Timer  
Yes  
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the  
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not an  
erase operation has begun. (The sector erase timer  
does not apply to the chip erase command.) If addi-  
tional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-  
out also applies after each additional sector erase com-  
mand. When the time-out is complete, DQ3 switches  
from “0” to “1.” If the time between additional sector  
erase commands from the system can be assumed to  
be less than 50 µs, the system need not monitor DQ3.  
See also the “Sector Erase Command Sequence”  
section.  
No  
DQ5 = 1?  
Yes  
(Notes  
1, 2)  
Read DQ7–DQ0  
Twice  
After the sector erase command sequence is written,  
the system should read the status on DQ7 (Data#  
Polling) or DQ6 (Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device has  
accepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3.  
If DQ3 is “1”, the internally controlled erase cycle has  
begun; all further commands (other than Erase Sus-  
pend) are ignored until the erase operation is complete.  
If DQ3 is “0”, the device will accept additional sector  
erase commands. To ensure the command has been  
accepted, the system software should check the status  
of DQ3 prior to and following each subsequent sector  
erase command. If DQ3 is high on the second status  
check, the last command might not have been  
accepted. Table 5 shows the outputs for DQ3.

Notes:  
1. Minimum DC voltage on input or I/O pins is –0.5 V. During  
voltage transitions, input or I/O pins may overshoot V to  
SS  
–2.0 V for periods of up to 20 ns. See Figure 5. Maximum  
DC voltage on input or I/O pins is V +0.5 V. During  
CC  
voltage transitions, input or I/O pins may overshoot to V  
+2.0 V for periods up to 20 ns. See Figure 6.  
CC  
2. Minimum DC input voltage on pins A9 and OE# is –0.5 V.  
During voltage transitions, A9 and OE# may overshoot  
V
to –2.0 V for periods of up to 20 ns. See Figure 5.  
SS  
Maximum DC input voltage on pin A9 is +12.5 V which  
may overshoot to 14.0 V for periods up to 20 ns.  
3. No more than one output may be shorted to ground at a  
time. Duration of the short circuit should not be greater  
than one second.  
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum  
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is  
a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at  
these or any other conditions above those indicated in the  
operational sections of this data sheet is not implied.  
Exposure of the device to absolute maximum rating  
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Notes:  
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 3.0 V V , 1,000,000 cycles. Additionally,  
CC  
programming typicals assume checkerboard pattern.  
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, V = 2.7 V (3.0 V for -60R), 1,000,000 cycles.  
CC  
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes  
program faster than the maximum program times listed.  
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure.  
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the two- or four-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See  
Table 4 for further information on command definitions.  
6. The device has a minimum guaranteed erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
