GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F080B is an 8 Mbit, 5.0 v olt-only Flash memory organized as 1,048,576 bytes. The 8 bits of data
appear on DQ0–DQ7. The Am29F080B is offered in
40-pin TSOP and 44-pin SO packages. This device is
designed to be programmed in-system with the s tandard system 5.0 volt V
required for program or erase operations. The device
can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmer s.
This device is manufactured using AMD’s 0.35 µm
process technology, and offers all the f eatures and benefits of the Am29F080, which was m anufactured using
0.5 µm process technology.
The standard device offers access times of 70, 90, 120,
and 150 ns, allowing high-speed microprocessors to operate without wait 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 si ngle 5.0 volt power sup-ply for both read and w rite functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations.
The device is entirely command set c ompatible with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Commands are written to the command register using standard microprocessor 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 n eeded f o r 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.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase
algorithm—an inter nal algorithm that automatically
preprograms the array (if it is not already progr ammed)
supply. A 12.0 volt VPP is not
CC
before e xecutin g the erase operatio n. During erase, t he
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 obser ving the RY/BY#
pin, or 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 allows memory sectors
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 inhibits write opera-
V
CC
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any com bination of the sectors of memory. This can be achie v ed via prog ramming 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 that is not selected for
erasure. True background erase can thus be achie ved.
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation
in progress and resets the internal state machine to
reading array data. The RESET# pin ma y be t ied to the
system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also
reset the device, enabling the system microprocessor
to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
The system can place the device into the standbymode. 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 electrically erases all
bits within a sector simultaneously via
Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. 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 c ommand register. The command register itself does not occupy any addressable memory location. The register is composed of l atches that store the
commands, along with the address and data information needed to execute the command. The contents of
Table 1. Am29F080B Device Bus Operations

the register serve as inputs to the internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the function of
the device. The appropriate device bus operations
table lists the inputs and control le vels requ ired, and the
resulting output. The following subsections describe
each of these operations in further detail.

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 array data to the output pins. WE# should remain at V
.
IH
The internal state machin e is set for reading array
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 necessar y in this mode to obtain array
data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert valid addresses on the device address inputs
produce valid data on the device data outputs. The
device remains enable d for read access until the
command register contents are altered.

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
An erase operation can erase one sect or, multiple sectors, or the entire de vice. The Sector Address 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 s ector 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

Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system ma y
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 infor mation, and to each AC Characteristics section in the appropriate data sheet f or t iming
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 great ly reduc ed, and the
outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE# input.
The device enters the CMOS standb y mode when CE#
and RESET# pins are both held at V

The device also enters the standb y mode when the RESET# pin is driven low. Refer to the next section, “RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin”.
If the device is deselected during erasure or program ming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.
In the DC Charac teristics tables, I

RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin
The RESET# pin provides a har dware method of resetting the device to readi ng arr ay data. When the system
drives the RESET# pin low for at least a period of t
the device immediately terminates any operation in
progress, tristates all data output pins, and ignores all
read/write attempts for the duration o f the RESET#
pulse. The device also resets the inter nal 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
, the device enters
IL
the TTL standby mode; if RESET# is held at V
0.5 V, the device enters the CMOS standby mode.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset cir-
cuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash
memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
.)
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a “0” (busy) until the internal reset operatio n is complete, which requires a
time of t
(during Embedded Algorithms). The
READY
system can thus monitor RY/BY# to determine whether
the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is asserted
when a program or erase operation is not executing
(RY/BY# pin is “1”), the reset operation is completed
within a time of t

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 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.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect
mode requires V
A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in
Autoselect Codes (High Voltage Method) table. I n addition, when verifying sector protection, the sector ad-
(11.5 V to 12.5 V) on address pin
ID
dress must appear on the appropriate highest order
address bits. Refer to the corresponding Sector Address Tables. The Comm and Definitions table shows
the remaining address bits that are don’t c are. When all
necessary bits have been set as required, the programming equipment may then read the corresponding
identifier code on DQ7–DQ0.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in the C ommand Definitions table. This method does not require V
. See
ID
“Command Definitions” for details on using the autoselect mode.

Sector Group Protection/Unprotection
The hardware group sector protection feature disables both program and erase operations in any sector group. Each sector group consists of two adjacent
sectors. Table 4 shows how the sectors are grouped,
and the address range that each sector group contains. The hardware sector group unprotection feature re-enables both program and erase operations in
previously protected sector groups.

Hardware Data Protection
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles
for programming or erasing provides data protection
against inadvertent writes (refer to the Command Definitions table). In addition, the following hardware data

COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific addre ss and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device operations. The Command Definitions 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 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 comp leting an Embe dded Program or Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Er ase Suspend command,
the device enters the Erase Suspend m ode. The system can read array data using the standard read timings, except that if it reads at an address within erasesuspended sectors, the device outputs status data.
After completing a programming operation in the Erase
Suspend mode, the system may once agai n read arra y
data with the same ex ception. See “Erase Suspend/
Erase Resume Commands” for more information on
this mode.

The autoselect command sequence is initiated by
writing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect
command. The device then en ters 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 02h in returns 01h if that sector
is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to the
