COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data command s or sequences into the command register initiates device operations. The Command Defini tions table 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.
Reading Array Data
The device is a utomatically 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 Em bedded Program or Embedded Erase algorithm.
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.
See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” in the
“Device Bus Operations” section for more information.
The Read Operations table provides the read parameters, and Read Operation Timings diagram shows the
timing diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command to the device r esets the device to reading array data. Address bits are don’t care
for this command.
The reset command may be w ritten 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 w ritten between the sequence cycles in a program command sequ ence before programming begins. This resets the device to
reading array data. Once programming begins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be w ritten between the sequence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.
Once in the autoselect mode, t he reset command
must
be written to return to reading array data.
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operat ion,
writing the reset command returns the device to reading array data.
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and devices codes,
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
The Command Definitions table shows the address
and data requirements. This method is an alt ernative to
that shown in the Autoselect Codes (High Voltage
Method) table, which is intended for PROM programmers and requires V
ID
on address bit A9.
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 add re ss X X00h or r et ri eves the man ufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX 01h returns
the device code. A read cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the address 02h in returns 01h if that
sector is protecte d, or 0 0h if i t is u np rotec ted . Refe r to
the Sector Address tables for valid sector addresses.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.
Byte Program Command Sequence
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
required to provide further
controls or timings. The device automatically provides
internally generated program pulses and verify the programmed cell margin. The Command Definitions take
shows the address and data requirements for the byte
program command sequence.
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 p rogram operation by usin g
DQ7or DQ6. See “Write Operation Stat us” 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 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 indic ate the operation was successful. However, a succeeding read will show that the
data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert a “0”
to a “1”.
