General Description  
The S29AL016M is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash memory organized as 2,097,152  
bytes or 1,048,576 words. The device is offered in a 48-ball Fine-pitch BGA, 64-  
ball Fortified BGA, and 48-pin TSOP packages. The word-wide data (x16) appears  
on DQ15–DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0. The device re-  
quires only a single 3.0 volt power supply for both read and write functions,  
designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 3.0 volt V sup-  
CC  
ply. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.  
The device offers access times of 90 and 100 ns. To eliminate bus contention the  
device has separate chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and output enable  
(OE#) controls.  
The device is entirely command set compatible with the JEDEC single-power-  
supply Flash standard. Commands are written to the device using standard  
microprocessor write timing. Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data  
needed for the programming and erase operations.  
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be erased and repro-  
grammed without affecting the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully  
erased when shipped from the factory.  
Device programming and erasure are initiated through command sequences.  
Once a program or erase operation has begun, the host system need only poll  
the DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6 (toggle) status bits or monitor the Ready/  
Busy# (RY/BY#) output to determine whether the operation is complete. To  
facilitate programming, an Unlock Bypass mode reduces command sequence  
overhead by requiring only two write cycles to program data instead of four.  
Hardware data protection measures include a low V detector that automati-  
CC  
cally inhibits write operations during power transitions. The hardware sector  
protection feature disables both program and erase operations in any combina-  
tion of sectors of memory. This can be achieved in-system or via programming  
equipment.  
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume feature allows the host system to pause an  
erase operation in a given sector to read or program any other sector and then  
complete the erase operation. The Program Suspend/Program Resume fea-  
ture enables the host system to pause a program operation in a given sector to  
read any other sector and then complete the program operation.  
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation in progress and resets the  
device, after which it is then ready for a new operation. The RESET# pin may be  
tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the de-  
vice, enabling the host system to read boot-up firmware from the Flash memory  
device.  
The device reduces power consumption in the standby mode when it detects  
specific voltage levels on CE# and RESET#, or when addresses have been stable  
for a specified period of time.  
The SecSi(Secured Silicon) Sector provides a 128-word/256-byte area for  
code or data that can be permanently protected. Once this sector is protected, no  
further changes within the sector can occur.  
MirrorBit flash technology combines years of Flash memory manufacturing expe-  
rience to produce the highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness.  
The device electrically erases all bits within a sector simultaneously via hot-hole  
assisted erase. The data is programmed using hot electron injection.

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 location. The register is com-  
posed of latches that store the commands, along with the address and data  
information needed to execute the command. The contents of the register serve  
as inputs to the internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the  
function of the device. Table 1 lists the device bus operations, the inputs and con-  
trol levels they require, and the resulting output. The following subsections  
describe each of these operations in further detail.

1. Addresses are A19:A0 in word mode (BYTE# = VIH), A19:A-1 in byte mode (BYTE# = VIL).  
2. The sector protect and sector unprotect functions may also be implemented via programming equipment. See the “Sector  
Protection/Unprotection” section.  
Word/Byte Configuration  
The BYTE# pin controls whether the device data I/O pins DQ15–DQ0 operate in  
the byte or word configuration. If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘1, the device is in  
word configuration, DQ15–DQ0 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#.  
If the BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘0, the device is in byte configuration, and only  
data I/O pins DQ0–DQ7 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#. The data I/  
O pins DQ8–DQ14 are tri-stated, and the DQ15 pin is used as an input for the  
LSB (A-1) address function.  
Requirements for Reading Array Data  
To read array data from the outputs, the system must drive the CE# and OE# pins  
to V . CE# is the power control and selects the device. OE# is the output control  
IL  
and gates array data to the output pins. WE# should remain at V . The BYTE#  
IH  
pin determines whether the device outputs array data in words or bytes.

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 mem-  
ory content occurs during the power transition. No command is necessary in  
this mode to obtain array data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that as-  
sert valid addresses on the device address inputs produce valid data on the  
device data outputs. The device remains enabled for read access until the com-  
mand register contents are altered.  
See “Reading Array Data” for more information. Refer to the AC Read Operations  
table for timing specifications and to Figure 13 for the timing diagram. I  
in the  
CC1  
DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for reading  
array data.  
Writing Commands/Command Sequences  
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 V , and OE# to V .  
IL  
IH  
For program operations, the BYTE# pin determines whether the device accepts  
program data in bytes or words. Refer to “Word Configuration” for more  
information.  
The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facilitate faster programming.  
Once the device enters the Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles are re-  
quired to program a word or byte, instead of four. The “Word Program Command  
Sequence” section has details on programming data to the device using both  
standard and Unlock Bypass command sequences.  
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device.  
Tables 2 and 3 indicate 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 suspending/resuming the erase operation.  
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 “Autoselect  
Command Sequence” sections for more information.  
I
in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for  
CC2  
the write mode. The “AC Characteristics” section contains timing specification ta-  
bles and timing diagrams for write operations.  
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 I read specifications apply. Refer to “Write Operation Status” for more in-  
CC  
formation, and to “AC Characteristics” for timing diagrams.  
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, independent of the OE#  
input.

The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the CE# and RESET# pins are  
both held at V 0.3 V. (Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than  
V .) If CE# and RESET# are held at V , but not within V 0.3 V, the device  
will be in the standby mode, but the standby current will be greater. The device  
CC  
IH

CC  
requires standard access time (t ) for read access when the device is in either  
CE  
of these standby modes, before it is ready to read data.  
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws ac-  
tive current until the operation is completed.  
In the DC Characteristics table, I

Automatic Sleep Mode  
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device energy consumption. The  
device automatically enables this mode when addresses remain stable for t  
+
ACC  
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. I  
in the DC Characteristics table represents the  
CC4  
automatic sleep mode current specification.  
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin  
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading  
array data. When the system drives the RESET# pin to V for at least a period of  
IL  
t , the device immediately terminates any operation in progress, tristates all  
RP  
data output pins, and ignores all read/write attempts for the duration of the RE-  
SET# pulse. The device also resets the internal state machine to reading array  
data. The operation that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is  
ready to accept another command sequence, to ensure data integrity.  
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET# pulse. When RESET# is held  
at V ±0.3 V, the device draws CMOS standby current (I  
). If RESET# is held  
SS  
CC4  
at V but not within V ±0.3 V, the standby current will be greater.  
IL  
SS  
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would  
thus also reset the Flash memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firm-  
ware from the Flash memory.  
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin re-  
mains a “0” (busy) until the internal reset operation is complete, which requires  
a time of t  
(during Embedded Algorithms). The system can thus monitor  
READY  
RY/BY# to determine whether the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is as-  
serted when a program or erase operation is not executing (RY/BY# pin is “1”),  
the reset operation is completed within a time of t  
(not during Embedded  
READY  
Algorithms). The system can read data t after the RESET# pin returns to V .  
RH  
IH  
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET# parameters and to Figure 14  
for the timing diagram.  
Output Disable Mode  
When the OE# input is at V , output from the device is disabled. The output pins  
IH  
are placed in the high impedance state.

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  
15  
S29AL016M  
S29AL016M_00A4 April 21, 2004  
to be programmed with its corresponding programming algorithm. However, the  
autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system through the command register.  
When using programming equipment, the autoselect mode requires V (11.5 V  
ID  
to 12.5 V) on address pin A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in  
Table 4. In addition, when verifying sector protection, the sector address must  
appear on the appropriate highest order address bits (see Tables 2 and 3). Table  
4 shows the remaining address bits that are don’t care. When all necessary bits  
have been set as required, the programming equipment may then read the cor-  
responding identifier code on DQ7-DQ0.  
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host system can issue the autose-  
lect command via the command register, as shown in Tables 1011. This method  
does not require V . See “Command Definitions” for details on using the autose-  
ID  
lect mode.

Sector Protection/Unprotection  
The hardware sector protection feature disables both program and erase opera-  
tions in any sector. The hardware sector unprotection feature re-enables both  
program and erase operations in previously protected sectors.  
The device is normally shipped with all sectors unprotected. However, the Ex-  
pressFlash™ Service offers the option of programming and protecting sectors at  
the factory prior to shipping the device. Contact a sales office or representative  
for details.  
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or unprotected. See “Au-  
toselect Mode” for details.

Sector protection and unprotection requires V on the RESET# pin only, and can  
ID  
be implemented either in-system or via programming equipment. Figure 2 shows  
the algorithms and Figure 23 shows the timing diagram. This method uses stan-  
dard microprocessor bus cycle timing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected  
sectors must first be protected prior to the first sector unprotect write cycle.  
Temporary Sector Unprotect  
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously protected sectors to  
change data in-system. The Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the  
RESET# pin to V . During this mode, formerly protected sectors can be pro-  
ID  
grammed or erased by selecting the sector addresses. Once V is removed from  
ID  
the RESET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are protected again. Figure  
shows the algorithm, and Figure 22 shows the timing diagrams, for this feature.

SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash Memory Region  
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector feature provides a Flash memory region that  
enables permanent part identification through an Electronic Serial Number  
(ESN). The SecSi Sector is 256 bytes in length, and uses a SecSi Sector Indica-  
tor Bit (DQ7) to indicate whether or not the SecSi Sector is locked when shipped  
from the factory. This bit is permanently set at the factory and cannot be  
changed, which prevents cloning of a factory locked part. This ensures the secu-  
rity of the ESN once the product is shipped to the field.  
The device is offered with the SecSi Sector either customer lockable (standard  
shipping option) or factory locked (contact a sales office or representative for or-  
dering information). The customer-lockable version is shipped with the SecSi  
Sector unprotected, allowing customers to program the sector after receiving  
the device. The customer-lockable version also has the SecSi Sector Indicator  
Bit permanently set to a “0.The factory-locked version is always protected  
when shipped from the factory, and has the SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Indi-  
cator Bit permanently set to a “1.Thus, the SecSi Sector Indicator Bit prevents  
customer-lockable devices from being used to replace devices that are factory  
locked. Note that the ACC function and unlock bypass modes are not available  
when the SecSi Sector is enabled.  
The SecSi sector address space in this device is allocated as follows:

The system accesses the SecSi Sector through a command sequence (see “En-  
ter SecSi Sector/Exit SecSi Sector Command Sequence”). After the system has  
written the Enter SecSi Sector command sequence, it may read the SecSi Sector  
by using the addresses normally occupied by the first sector (SA0). This mode of  
operation continues until the system issues the Exit SecSi Sector command se-  
quence, or until power is removed from the device. On power-up, or following a  
hardware reset, the device reverts to sending commands to sector SA0.  
Customer Lockable: SecSi Sector NOT Programmed or Protected  
At the Factory  
Unless otherwise specified, the device is shipped such that the customer may  
program and protect the 256-byte SecSi sector.  
The system may program the SecSi Sector using the write-buffer, accelerated  
and/or unlock bypass methods, in addition to the standard programming com-  
mand sequence. See Command Definitions.  
Programming and protecting the SecSi Sector must be used with caution since,  
once protected, there is no procedure available for unprotecting the SecSi Sec-  
tor area and none of the bits in the SecSi Sector memory space can be modified  
in any way.  
The SecSi Sector area can be protected using one of the following procedures:  
„ Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region command sequence, and  
then follow the in-system sector protect algorithm as shown in Figure 2, ex-  
19  
S29AL016M

cept that RESET# may be at either V or V . This allows in-system protec-  
IH  
ID  
tion of the SecSi Sector without raising any device pin to a high voltage. Note  
that this method is only applicable to the SecSi Sector.  
„ To verify the protect/unprotect status of the SecSi Sector, follow the algo-  
rithm shown in Figure 3.  
Once the SecSi Sector is programmed, locked and verified, the system must  
write the Exit SecSi Sector Region command sequence to return to reading and  
writing within the remainder of the array.  
Factory Locked: SecSi Sector Programmed and Protected At the  
Factory  
In devices with an ESN, the SecSi Sector is protected when the device is shipped  
from the factory. The SecSi Sector cannot be modified in any way. An ESN Fac-  
tory Locked device has a 16-byte random ESN at addresses 0F8000h–0F8007h.  
Please contact your local sales office or representative for details on ordering ESN  
Factory Locked devices.  
Customers may opt to have their code programmed by the manufacturer  
through the ExpressFlash service (Express Flash Factory Locked). The devices  
are then shipped from the factory with the SecSi Sector permanently locked.

service.

Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI)  
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines device and host system  
software interrogation handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified soft-  
ware algorithms to be used for entire families of devices. Software support can  
then be device-independent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and back-

ward-compatible for the specified flash device families. Flash vendors can  
standardize their existing interfaces for long-term compatibility.  
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the system writes the CFI Query  
command, 98h, to address 55h in word mode (or address AAh in byte mode), any  
time the device is ready to read array data. The system can read CFI information  
at the addresses given in Tables 69. In word mode, the upper address bits (A7–  
MSB) must be all zeros. To terminate reading CFI data, the system must write  
the reset command.  
The system can also write the CFI query command when the device is in the au-  
toselect mode. The device enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read  
CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 69. The system must write the reset  
command to return the device to the read/reset mode.  
For further information, please refer to the CFI Specification and CFI Publication  
100, available online at http://www.amd.com/flash/cfi. Alternatively, contact an  
sales office or representative for copies of these documents.

Hardware Data Protection  
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles for programming or erasing  
provides data protection against inadvertent writes (refer to Tables 1011 for  
command definitions). In addition, the following hardware data protection mea-  
sures prevent accidental erasure or programming, which might otherwise be  
caused by spurious system level signals during V  
transitions, or from system noise.  
power-up and power-down  
CC  
Low V  
Write Inhibit  
CC  
When V is less than V  
, the device does not accept any write cycles. This pro-  
LKO  
CC  
tects data during V power-up and power-down. The command register and all  
CC  
internal program/erase circuits are disabled, and the device resets. Subsequent  
writes are ignored until V  
is greater than V  
. The system must provide the  
CC  
LKO  
proper signals to the control pins to prevent unintentional writes when V  
is  
CC  
greater than V  
.
LKO  
Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection  
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or WE# do not initiate a write  
cycle.  
23  
S29AL016M  
S29AL016M_00A4 April 21, 2004  
Logical Inhibit  
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# = V , CE# = V or WE# =  
IL  
IH  
V . To initiate a write cycle, CE# and WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a  
IH  
logical one.  
Power-Up Write Inhibit  
If WE# = CE# = V and OE# = V during power up, the device does not accept  
IL  
IH  
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. Tables 1011 define the valid register com-  
mand sequences. Note that writing incorrect address and data values or writing  
them in the improper sequence may place the device in an unknown state. A  
reset command is then required to set the device for the next operation.  
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.  
Reading Array Data  
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.  
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 in-  
formation on this mode.  
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 Com-  
mand” section, next.  
See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” in the “Device Bus Operations”  
section for more information. The Read Operations table provides the read pa-  
rameters, and Figure 13 shows the timing diagram.  
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.  
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in a program  
command sequence before programming begins. This resets the device to read-  
ing array data (also applies to programming in Erase Suspend mode). Once  
programming begins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the op-  
eration is complete.  
April 21, 2004 S29AL016M_00A4  
S29AL016M  
24  
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).  
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).  
Autoselect Command Sequence  
The autoselect command sequence allows the host system to access the manu-  
facturer and devices codes, and determine whether or not a sector is protected.  
Tables 1011 show the address and data requirements. This method is an alter-  
native to that shown in Table 4, which is intended for PROM programmers and  
requires V on address bit A9.  
ID  
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, fol-  
lowed 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 XX00h retrieves the manufacturer code. A read cycle at  
address XX01h returns the device code. A read cycle containing a sector address  
(SA) and the address XX02h in word mode (or XX04h in byte mode) returns  
XX01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to Tables 2 and  
3 for valid sector addresses.  
The system must write the reset command to exit the autoselect mode and return  
to reading array data.  
Word/Byte Program Command Sequence  
The system may program the device by word or byte, depending on the state  
of the BYTE# pin. Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program  
command sequence 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 re-  
quired to provide further controls or timings. The device automatically  
generates the program pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin. Tables  
1011 show the address and data requirements for the program command se-  
quence. Note that the SecSi Sector, autoselect, and CFI functions are  
unavailable when a program operation is in progress.  
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device then returns to  
reading array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can deter-  
mine the status of the program operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See  
“Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.  
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 Program command sequence should be reinitiated once the  
device has reset to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.  
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across sector boundaries. Program-  
ming to the same address multiple times without intervening erases is limited.  
For such application requirements, please contact your local Spansion represen-  
tative. Any bit in a word or byte cannot be programmed from “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 successful. However, a suc-  
25  
S29AL016M  
S29AL016M_00A4 April 21, 2004  
ceeding read will show that the data is still “0. Only erase operations can convert  
a “0” to a “1.  
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence  
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program bytes or words to the  
device faster than using the standard 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. Tables 1011 show the requirements for the command sequence.  
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock Bypass Program and Unlock By-  
pass Reset commands are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system  
must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset command sequence. The first cycle  
must contain the data 90h; the second cycle the data 00h. Addresses are don’t  
care for both cycles. The device then returns to reading array data.  
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the program operation. See the Erase/Pro-  
gram Operations table in “AC Characteristics” for parameters, and to Figure 17  
for timing diagrams.

Chip Erase Command Sequence  
Chip erase is a six bus cycle operation. The chip erase command sequence is ini-  
tiated 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 algorithm auto-  
matically preprograms and verifies the entire memory for an all zero data pattern  
prior to electrical erase. The system is not required to provide any controls or tim-  
ings during these operations. Tables 1011 show the address and data  
requirements for the chip erase command sequence. Note that the SecSi Sector,  
autoselect, and CFI functions are unavailable when an erase operation is in  
progress.  
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded Erase algorithm are ig-  
nored. Note that a hardware reset during the chip erase operation immediately  
terminates the operation. The Chip Erase command sequence should be reiniti-  
ated once the device has returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.  
The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6,  
DQ2, or RY/BY#. See “Autoselect Command Sequence” 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.

Figure 5 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. See the Erase/Program  
Operations tables in “AC Characteristics” for parameters, and to Figure 18 for tim-  
ing diagrams.  
Sector Erase Command Sequence  
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 addi-  
tional unlock write cycles are then followed by the address of the sector to be  
erased, and the sector erase command. Tables 1011 show the address and data  
requirements for the sector erase command sequence. Note that the SecSi Sec-  
tor, autoselect, and CFI functions are unavailable when an erase operation is  
in progress.  
The device does not require the system to preprogram the memory prior to erase.  
The Embedded Erase algorithm 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.  
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 rec-  
ommended 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.  
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.  
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, DQ2, or RY/BY#. (Refer to  
“Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.)  
Figure 5 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer to the Erase/Pro-  
gram Operations tables in the “AC Characteristics” section for parameters, and to  
Figure 18 for timing diagrams.  
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands  
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to interrupt a sector erase oper-  
ation 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  
April 21, 2004 S29AL016M_00A4  
S29AL016M  
28  
Suspend command is ignored if written during the chip erase operation or Em-  
bedded Program algorithm. 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.  
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 terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase  
operation.  
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 sec-  
tors 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-suspended.  
See “Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.  
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, 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 operation. See “Write Operation Status” for more  
information.  
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 Com-  
mand Sequence” for more information.  
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.  
Note: During an erase operation, this flash device performs multiple internal op-  
erations that are invisible to the system. When an erase operation is suspended,  
any of the internal operations that were not fully completed must be restarted.  
As such, if this flash device is continually issued suspend/resume commands in  
rapid succession, erase progress will be impeded as a function of the number of  
suspends. The result will be a longer cumulative erase time than without sus-  
pends. Note that the additional suspends do not affect device reliability or future  
performance. In most systems rapid erase/suspend activity occurs only briefly.  
In such cases, erase performance will not be significantly impacted.

Figure 5. Erase Operation  
Program Suspend/Program Resume Command Sequence  
The Program Suspend command allows the system to interrupt a programming  
operation so that data can be read from any non-suspended sector. When the  
Program Suspend command is written during a programming process, the de-  
vice halts the program operation within 15 µs maximum (5 µs typical) and  
updates the status bits. Addresses are not required when writing the Program  
Suspend command.  
After the programming operation has been suspended, the system can read  
array data from any non-suspended sector. The Program Suspend command  
may also be issued during a programming operation while an erase is sus-  
pended. In this case, data may be read from any addresses not in Erase  
Suspend or Program Suspend. If a read is needed from the SecSi Sector area  
(One-time Program area), then user must use the proper command sequences  
to enter and exit this region.  
The system may also write the autoselect command sequence when the device  
is in the Program Suspend mode. The system can read as many autoselect  
codes as required. When the device exits the autoselect mode, the device re-  
verts to the Program Suspend mode, and is ready for another valid operation.  
See Autoselect Command Sequence for more information.  
After the Program Resume command is written, the device reverts to program-  
ming. The system can determine the status of the program operation using the

DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard program operation. See Write  
Operation Status for more information.  
The system must write the Program Resume command (address bits are don’t  
care) to exit the Program Suspend mode and continue the programming opera-  
tion. Further writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another Program  
Suspend command can be written after the device has resume programming.

S29AL016M_00A4 April 21, 2004  
Write Operation Status  
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation:  
DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7, and RY/BY#. Table 12 and the following subsections  
describe the functions of these bits. DQ7, 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.  
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 Suspend.  
Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the program  
or erase command sequence.  
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs on DQ7 the com-  
plement of the datum programmed 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 pro-  
gram address falls within a protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for  
approximately 1 µs, then the device returns to reading array data.  
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 algo-  
rithm: 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.  
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 se-  
lected sectors that are protected.  
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 19, Data# Polling Timings (During Embedded Algorithms),  
in the “AC Characteristics” section illustrates this.  
Table 12 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7. Figure 7 shows the Data#  
Polling algorithm.

Figure 7. Data# Polling Algorithm  
RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#  
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that indicates whether an Em-  
bedded Algorithm is in progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after the  
rising edge of the final WE# pulse 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 V  
.

S29AL016M_00A4 April 21, 2004  
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.  
Table 12 shows the outputs for RY/BY#. Figures 13, 14, 17 and 18 show RY/BY#  
for read, reset, program, and erase operations, respectively.  
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 cy-  
cles 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.  
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 algo-  
rithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are  
protected.  
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine whether a sector is ac-  
tively 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 en-  
ters the Erase Suspend mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system must  
also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are erasing or erase-suspended. Alter-  
natively, the system can use DQ7 (see the subsection on “DQ7: Data# Polling”).  
If a program address falls within a protected sector, DQ6 toggles for approxi-  
mately 1 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 12 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6. Figure 8 shows the toggle bit  
algorithm in flowchart form, and the section “Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2” ex-  
plains the algorithm. Figure 20 in the “AC Characteristics” section shows the  
toggle bit timing diagrams. Figure 21 shows the differences between DQ2 and  
DQ6 in graphical form. See also the subsection on “DQ2: Toggle Bit II.  
DQ2: Toggle Bit II  
The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indicates 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.  
DQ2 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 DQ2 cannot distinguish whether the sector is actively erasing or  
is erase-suspended. DQ6, by comparison, indicates whether the device is actively  
erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish which sectors are selected  
for erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and mode information.  
Refer to Table 12 to compare outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.

Figure 8 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and the section “Read-  
ing Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2” explains the algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I  
subsection. Figure 20 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure 21 shows the  
differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form.  
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2  
Refer to Figure 8 for the following discussion. Whenever the system initially be-  
gins 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 completed the program or erase op-  
eration. The system can read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the following read  
cycle.  
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 toggling  
just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer toggling, the device has suc-  
cessfully completed the program or erase operation. 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.  
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 de-  
scribed 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 algo-  
rithm when it returns to determine the status of the operation (top of Figure 8).

DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits  
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has exceeded a specified inter-  
nal 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.  
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system tries to program a “1” to a  
location that is previously programmed to “0.Only an erase operation can

S29AL016M  
38  
change a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the device halts the opera-  
tion, and when the operation has exceeded the timing limits, DQ5 produces a “1.”  
Under both these conditions, the system must issue the reset command to return  
the device to reading array data.  
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer  
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the system may read DQ3 to de-  
termine whether or not an erase operation has begun. (The sector erase timer  
does not apply to the chip erase command.) If additional 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.The system  
may ignore DQ3 if the system can guarantee that the time between additional  
sector erase commands will always be less than 50 µs. See also the “Sector  
Erase Command Sequence” section.  
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 ac-  
cepted 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 fol-  
lowing each subsequent sector erase command. If DQ3 is high on the second  
status check, the last command might not have been accepted. Table 12 shows  
the outputs for DQ3.

Notes:  
1. Not 100% tested.  
2. See the “Erase and Programming Performance” section for more information.  
3. If a program suspend command is issued within tPOLL, the device requires tPOLL before reading status data, once  
programming has resumed (that is, the program resume command has been written). If the suspend command was issued  
after tPOLL, status data is available immediately after programming has resumed. See Figure 22.

Notes:  
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, VCC = 3.0 V, 10,000 cycles, checkerboard data  
pattern.  
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 2.7 V, 100,000 cycles.  
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  
Tables 23 for further information on command definitions.
