GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29DL 800B is an 8 Mb it, 3.0 volt-only flas h
memory device, organized as 524,288 words or
1,048,576 bytes. The device is offered in 44-pin SO,
48-pin TSOP, and 48-ball FBGA packages. The word-
wide (x16) data appears on DQ0–DQ15; the byte-wide
(x8) data appears on DQ0–DQ7. This device requires
only a single 3.0 volt V
gram, and erase operations. A standard EPROM programmer can also be used to program and erase the
device.
This device is manufactured using AMD’s 0.35 µm
process technology, and offers all the f eatures and benefits of the Am29DL800, which was manufactured
using a 0.5 µm technology.
The standard device off ers access times of 70, 90, and
120 ns, allowing high-speed microprocessors to operate without wait states. St andard control pins—chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#), and output enable
(OE#)—control read and write operations, and avoid
bus contention issues.
The device requires only a single 3. 0 v o lt po wer sup-ply for both read and write functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations.
supply to perform read, pro-
CC
Simultaneous Read/Write Operations with
Zero Latency
The Simultaneous Read/Write architecture provides simultaneous operation by dividing the memory space
into two banks. Bank 1 contains eight boot/parameter
sectors, and Bank 2 consists of fourteen larger, code
sectors of uniform size. The dev ice can improv e o v erall
system performance by allowing a host system to program or erase in one bank, th en immediately and simultaneously read from the other bank, with zerolatency. This releases the system from waiting for the
completion of program or erase operations.
Am29DL800B Features
The device offers complete compatibility with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash command set
standard. Commands are written to the command
register using standard micr oprocessor write timings.
Register contents 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.
Device programming occurs by executing the program
command sequence. This initiates the EmbeddedProgram algorithm—an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facili-
tates faster programming time s by requiring only two
write cycles to program data instead of four.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command sequenc e. This initiates the Embedded Erase
algorithm—an in ternal algorithm that auto matically
preprograms the arra y (if it is not already progr ammed)
before e xecuting the er ase 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 observing the RY/BY#
pin, or by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6
(toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycl e has
been completed, the device automatically returns to
reading array data.
The sector erase ar chitecture allo ws memo ry secto rs
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the
data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
detector that automatically in hibits write opera-
V
CC
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of the sectors of memory. This can be achieved in-system or via programming equipment.
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 within that bank that is
not selected for erasure. Tr ue background erase can
thus be achieved. There is no need to suspend the
erase operation if the read data is in the other bank.
The hardware RESET# pin term inates any operation
in progress and resets the internal state machine to
reading array dat a. The RESET# pin ma y be tied to the
system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also
reset the device to reading array data, enab ling the system microprocessor to read the boot-up firmware from
the Flash memory.
The device off ers two power-sa ving f eatures. When addresses have been stable for a specified amount of
time, the device enters the automatic sleep m ode.
The system can also place the de vice into the standbymode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in both
these modes.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash memory manufacturin g experience to produce th e highest
levels of quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness. The
device electrically erases all bits within a sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The bytes are
programmed one byte or word at a time using hot electron injection.

Word/Byte Configuration
The BYTE# pin controls whether the device data I/O
pins operate in the byte or word configuration. If the
BYTE# pin is set at logic ‘1’, the device is in word con-
figuration, DQ0-15 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
control and selects the device. OE# is the output control and gates arra y data to the output pins . WE# should
remain at V
. The BYTE# pin determines whether the

The internal state machine is set for reading array
data upon device po wer-u p , or after a hardw are res et.
This ensure s that no sp urious alteration of the memory content occurs dur ing the power transition. No
command is nece ssary in this mode to ob tain array
data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert valid addresses on the de vice addr ess inputs produce valid d ata on the de vice da ta outputs . EAch bank

register contents are altered.

current specification for reading array data.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To wr ite 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 VIH.
IL
For progr am operations , the BYTE# pin determines whether
the device accept s progr am data in by tes or words . Ref er to
“Word/Byte Confi gurat ion” f or more inf ormation.
The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facili-
tate faster programming. Once a bank enters the Unlock
Bypass mode, only two write cycles are required to program a word or byte, instead of four. The “Byte/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 sect or, multiple sectors, or the entire device. Tables 2 and 3 indicate the
address space that each sector occupies. The device
address space is divided into two banks: Bank 1 contains the boot/parameter sectors, and Bank 2 contains
the larger, code sectors of uniform size. A “bank address” is the address bits required to uniquely select a
bank. Similarly, a “sector address” is the address bits
required to uniquely select a sector.
If the system writes the autoselect co mmand 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.

Simultaneous Read/Write Operations with
Zero Latency
This device is capable of readin g data from one bank of
memory while programming or erasing in the other
bank of memory. An erase operation may also be suspended to read from or pro gram to another location
within the same bank (except t he sector b eing erased).

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 gr eatly 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

The RESET# pin provides a har dware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When the RESET# pin is driven low for at least a period of t

progress, tristates all output pins, and ignores all read/
write commands for the duration of the RESET# pulse .
The device also resets the internal state machine to
reading array data. The operation that was interrupted
should be reinitiated once the de vi ce is ready to accept
another command sequence, to ensure data integrity.

Autoselect Mode
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This
