GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F010B is a 1 Mbit, 5.0 Volt-only Flash
memory organized as 131,072 bytes. The Am29F010B
is offered in 32-pin PDIP, PLCC and TSOP packages.
The byte-wide data appears on DQ0-DQ7. The devi c e i s d e si g n e d t o b e p r o g r a m m e d in-system with the
standard system 5.0 Volt V
required for program or erase opera tion s. The device can
also be programmed or erased i n standard EPROM
programmers.
This device is manufactured using AMD’ s 0.32 µm process technology, and offers all the features and benefits
of the Am29F010 and Am29F010A.
The standard device offers access times of 45, 55, 70,
90, and 120 ns, allowing high-speed microprocessors
to operate without wai t states . To eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip enable (CE#), write
enable (WE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.
The device requires only a single 5. 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.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Commands are written to the command regis ter using
standard micropr ocessor wri te timings. Register co ntents serve as input to an interna l 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 inv okes the Embed ded Pro-gram algorithm—an internal algorithm that
supply. A 12.0 v o lt VPP is not
CC
automatically times the program puls e wid ths a nd
veri fies proper cell margin.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command sequence. This invokes 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 reading the DQ7 (Data#
Polling) and DQ6 (toggle) status bits. After a program
or erase cycle has been completed, the de vice is ready
to read array data or accept another command.
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 erased
when shipped from the factory.
The hardware data protection m easures include a
low V
detector automatically inhibits write operations
CC
during power transitions . T he hard ware sector protection feature disables both progr am and erase operations
in any combination of the sectors of memory, and is implemented using standard EPROM programmers.
The system can place the devic e into the standb y mode.
Power consumption is greatly reduced in this mode.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash
memory manufacturing experience to produce the
highest levels of quality, reliability, and cost
effectiveness. The device electri cally erases all bits
within a sector s imultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim
tunneling. The bytes are programmed one byte at a
time using the EPROM programming mechanism of hot
electron injection.

The internal state machine is set for reading arr ay 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 input s produc e 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 sect or, multiple sectors, or the entire device. The Sector Addre ss Tables
indicate the address space that each sector occupies.
A “sector address” consists of the address bits required
to uniquely select a sector. See the “Command Definitions” section for details on erasing a sector or the
entire chip.
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

mode, current consumption is great ly reduc ed, and the
outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE# input.
Output Disable Mode
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is
disabled. The output pins are placed in t he high impedance state.
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 progr amming equipment
to automatically match a device to be progr ammed with
its correspondi ng programming al gorithm. However,
the autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system
through the command register.

Sector Protection/Unprotection
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sect or. The hardware sector unprotection feature re-enables both
program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors.
Sector protection/unprotection must be implemented
using programming equipment. The procedure requires a high voltage (V
) on address pin A9 and the

control pins. Details on this method are provided in a
supplement, publication number 22337. Contact an
AMD representative to obtain a cop y of the appropriate
document.
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™ Servic e. Contact an
AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected
or unprotected. See “Autoselect Mode” for details.

COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific addre ss and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. The Command Definitions tab le defines the
valid register command sequences. Writing incorrect
address and data values or writing them in the im-
proper sequence resets the device to reading array
data.
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.

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
DQ7or DQ6. See “Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored.
Programming is allowed in any sequence an d 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#

Chip Erase Command Sequence
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
not
algorithm. The device does
preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and ve rifies the entire
memory for an all zero data patter n prior to electr ical
erase. The system is not required to provide any controls or timings during these operations. The Command
Definitions table 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.
The system can determine the status of the erase op-
eration by using DQ7 or DQ6. 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

Characteristics” for p arameters , and to the Chip/Sector
Erase Operation Timings for t i ming waveforms.
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
additional unlock write cycles are then followed by the
address of the sector to be erased, and the sector
erase command . The Command Definitions table
shows the address and data requirements for the sector erase command sequence.

The device does
the memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically programs and verifies the s ector for
an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The
system is not required to provide a ny 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 commands 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 recommended 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 com-
mand 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 s ector
erase timer has timed out. (See the “DQ3 : Sector Erase
Timer” section.) The tim e-out begins from the rising
edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, all other
commands are ignored.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading arra y data and addr esses are
no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7 or DQ6. Refer
to “Write Operation Status” for information on these
status bits.

the “AC Characteristics” section f or par amet ers , and to
the Sector Erase Operations Ti ming diagr am for timing
waveforms.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands
The Erase Suspend command allows the s yst em 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 comm and is ignored if written dur ing
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algorithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the
time-out period and suspends the er ase oper at ion. Addresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase
Suspend command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a
sector erase operation, the de vice 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 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 to
determine if a sector is actively erasing or is er ase-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 arra y 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.
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.
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 operati on. Further
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another
Erase Suspend command can be written after the device has resumed erasing.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: 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. Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge
of the final WE# pulse in the program or erase command sequence.
During the Em bedded Program algor ithm, the device
outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum programmed to DQ7. When the Embedded Program
algorithm is complete, the device outputs the datum
programmed to DQ7. The system must provi de the program address to read valid status information on DQ7.
If a program address falls within a pro tected sector,
Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 2 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, Data# Polling produces a “1 ” on
DQ7. This is analogous to the complement/true datum
output described for the Embedded Progr am algorithm:
the erase function changes all the bits in a sector to “1”;
prior to this, the device outputs the “complement,” o r
“0.” The system must provide an address within any of
the sectors selected for erasure to read valid status information on DQ7.

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.

Figure 3. Data# Polling Algorithm
Page 17
DQ6: Toggle Bit I
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whethe r an Embedded
Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete.
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.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all s ectors selected for eras ing 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.
If a program address falls within a pro tected sector,
DQ6 toggles for approximately 2 µs after the program
command sequence is written, then returns to reading
array data.

The Write Operation Status table shows the outputs for

algorithm, and to the Toggle Bit Timings figure in the
“AC Characteristics” section for the timin g diagram.
Reading Toggle Bit DQ6
Refer to Figure 4 for the following discussion. Whe never the system initially begins readin g toggle bit
status, it must read DQ7–DQ0 at least t wice in a row to
determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, a
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 era se operation. The system can
read array data on DQ7–DQ 0 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 successfully 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 readin g
array data.

Figure 4. Toggle Bit Algorithm
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 successi ve read cycles , determining the status as described in the previous
paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to perform
other system tasks. In this cas e, the system must start
at the beginning of the algorithm when it returns to determine the status of the operation (top of Figure 4).
Am29F010B17
Page 18
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 prog ram or er ase cycle was
not successfully completed.
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system
tries to program a “1” to a location that i s previously programmed to “0.” Only an era se operation can change
a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the device
halts the operation, and when the operation has ex-
ceeded the timing limits, DQ5 produces a “1.”
Under both these conditions, t he system must issue the
reset command to return the device to reading array
data.
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase comm and 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 timeout also applies after each additional sector erase command. 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 sequenc e 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 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 com mand. If
DQ3 is high on the second status check, the last command might not have been accepted. Table 5 shows
the outputs for DQ3.

3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes
program faster than the maximum byte program time listed. If the maximum byte program time given is exceeded, only then
does the device set DQ5 = 1. See the section on DQ5 for further information.
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 four-bus-cycle command sequence for programming. See Table 4
for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a minimum guaranteed erase cycle endurance of 1 million cycles.
