GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am28F010A is a 1 M egabit Flash memor y organized as 128 Kbytes of 8 bits each. AMD’ s Flash memories offer the most cost-effective and reliable read/write
non-volatile random access memor y. The Am28F010A
is packaged in 32-pin PDIP, PLCC, and TSOP versions.
It is designed to be reprogrammed and erased in-system
or in standard EPROM programmers. The Am28F010A
is erased when shipped from the factory.
The standard Am28F010A offers access times of as fast
as 70 ns, allowing high speed microprocessors to
operate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention,
the device has separate chip enable (CE#) and output
enable (OE#) controls.
AMD’s Flash memories au gment EPROM functi onality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
Am28F010A 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
maximum EPROM compatibility.
The Am28F010A is compatible with the AMD
Am28F256A, Am2 8F512A, and Am28F020A Flash
memories. All devices in the Am28Fxxx family follow the
JEDEC 32-pin pinout standar d. In additio n, all devices
■ Latch-up protected to 100 mA from

■ Embedded Erase Electrical Bulk Chip Erase
— 5 seconds typical chip erase, including
pre-programming
■ Embedded Program
— 14 µs typical byte program, including time-out
— 4 seconds typical chip program
within this family that offer Embedded Algorithms use
the same command set. This offers designers the flexibility to retain the same device footprint and command
set, at any density between 256 Kbits and 2 Mbits.
AMD’s Flash technology reliably stores memo ry contents even after 100,000 erase and program cycles. The
AMD 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 programming operations produces reliable cycling. The Am28F010 A uses a

ming functions.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
with AMD’s proprietar y non-ep i process. Latch-u p protection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on address
and data pins from –1 V to V
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of EPROM and
EEPROM experience to produce the highest levels of
quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness. The
Am28F010A electrically erases all bits simultaneously
using Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The bytes are
programmed one byte at a time using the EPROM programming mechanism of hot electron injection.

Embedded Program
The Am28F010A is byte programmable using the
Embedded Program algorithm, which does not require
the system to time-out or verify the data programmed.
The typical room temperature progr amming time of this
device is two seconds.
Comparing Embedded Algorithms with Flasherase and Flashrite Algorithms
Embedded Erase
The entire device is bulk erased using the Embedded
Erase algorithm, which automatically programs the
entire array prior to electrical erase. The timing and v erification of electrical erase are controlled internal to the
device. Typical erasure time at room temperature is fiv e
seconds, including preprogramming.

Am28F010 using AMD Flashrite
and Flasherase Algorith ms
The Flashrite Programming algorithm requires the
user to write a program set-up command, a program
command, (program data and address), and a
program verify command, followed by a read and
compare operation. The user is required to time the
programming pulse width in order to issue the
program verify command. An integrated stop timer
prevents any possibility of overprogramming.
Upon completion of this sequence, the data is read
back from the device and compared by the user with
the data intended to be written; if there is not a
match, the sequence is repeated until there is a
match or the sequence has been repeated 25 times.
The Flasherase Erase algorithm requires the device
to be completely programmed prior to executing an
erase command.
To invoke the erase operation, the user writes an
erase set-up command, an erase command, and an
erase verify command. The user is required to time
the erase pulse width in order to issue the erase
verify command. An integrated stop timer prevents
any possibility of overerasure.
Upon completion of this sequence, the data is read
back from the device and compared by the user with
erased data. If there is not a match, the sequence is
repeated until there is a match or the sequence has
been repeated 1,000 times.
Commands are written to the command register using
standard microprocessor write timings. Register contents serve as input to an internal state-machine,
which controls the erase and programming circuitry.
During write cycles, the command register internally
latches addresses and data needed for the programming and erase operations. For system design simpli-
cycle, addresses are latched on the falling edge of
WE# or CE#, whichever occurs last. Data is latched
on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever occurs
first. To simplify the follo wing discussion, the WE# pin
is used as the write cycle control pin throughout the
rest of this text. All setup and hold times are with
respect to the WE# signal.

WE# or CE# controlled writes. During a system write

BASIC PRINCIPLES
This section contains descriptions about the device
read, erase, and program operations, and write operation status of the Am29FxxxA, 12.0 volt f amily of Flash
devices. References to some tables or figures may be
given in generic form, such as “Command Definitions
table”, rather than “ Table 1”. Refer to the corresponding
data sheet for the actual table or figure.
The Am28FxxxA family uses 100% TTL-level control
inputs to manage the comman d register. Erase and
reprogramming operations use a fixed 12.0 V ± 5%
high voltage input.
Read Only Memory
Without high VPP voltage, the device functions as a
read only memory and operates like a standard
EPROM. The control inputs still manage traditional
read, standby, output disable, and Auto select modes.
Command Register
The command register is enabled only when high voltage is applied to the V
gramming operations are only accessed via the
register. In addit i on, two-cycle commands are required
for erase and reprogramming operations. The traditional read, standby, output disable, and Auto select
modes are available via the register.
The device’s command register is written using standard
microprocessor write timings. The register controls an
intern al state machi ne that manag es all device operations. For system design simplification, the device is designed to support either WE# or CE # controlled writes.
During a system write cycle, addresses are latched on
the falling edge of WE# o r CE# whichever occurs last .
Data is latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE# whichever occur first. To si mplify the following discussion, the

Flash memories can be programmed in-system or in a

to soldering the device to the board.
The Auto select mode allows the reading out of a binary

ERASE, PROGRAM, AND READ MODE
When VPP is equal to 12.0 V ± 5%, the command reg-
ister is active. All functions are available. That is, the
device can program, erase, read array or autoselect
data, or be standby mode.
Write Operations
High voltage must be applied to the VPP pin in order to
activate the command register. Data written to the register serves as input to the internal state machine. The
output of the state machine determines the operational
function of the device.
The command register does not occupy an addressable memory location. The register is a latch that stores
the command, along with the address and data information needed to execute the command. The register
