GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Am29LV640DU/Am29LV641DU is a 64 Mbit, 3.0 Volt (3.0 V to 3.6 V) single power supply flash memory devices organized as 4 ,194,304 wo rds. Data appe ars on DQ0-DQ15. The device is designed to be pro­grammed in-system with the stand ard system 3.0 volt
supply. A 12.0 volt VPP is not required for program
V
CC
or erase operations. The device can also be pro­grammed in standard EPROM programmers.
Access times of 90 and 120 ns are available for appli­cations where V ns are available for applications where V device is offered in 48- pin TSOP, 56-pin SSOP, 63-ball Fine-Pitch BGA and 64-ball Fortified BGA packages. To eliminate bus contention each device has separate chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and output en­able (OE#) controls.
Each device requires only a single 3.0 Volt power supply (3.0 V to 3.6 V) for both read and write func­tions. Internally generated and regula ted voltages ar e provided for the program and erase operations.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the JEDEC single-pow er-supply Flash standard. Commands are written to the command register using standard microprocessor write timing. Register con­tents serve as inputs 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.

The sector erase archite cture allow s memo ry sec­tors to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data conten ts of oth er sec tors. Th e devi ce 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 combination of sectors of memory. This can be achieved in-system or via programming equipment.
The Erase Suspen d/Erase R esume fe ature ena bles the user to put erase on hold for any period of time to read data from, or prog ram data to, an y sector that is not selected for erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.
The hardware RESET# p in terminates any opera tion in progress and re sets the internal state machine to reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the device, enabling the system micropro­cessor to read boot-up firmware from the Flash mem ­ory device.
The device offers a standby mode as a power-saving feature. Once the system p laces the device into th e standby mode power consumption is greatly reduced.
Device programming occurs by executing the program command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that auto- matically times the program pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facili­tates faster programming times by requiring only two write cycles to program data instead of four.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase com­mand sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase algorithman internal algorithm that automatically preprograms the array (if it is not alread y pro­grammed) before executin g the erase op eration. Dur­ing erase, the device automatically times the erase pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin.
The VersatileIO™ (V
) control allows the host system
IO
to set the voltage levels that the device generates and tolerates on CE# and DQ I/O s to the same voltag e level that is asserted on V
. VIO is available in two
IO
configurations (1.8–2.9 V and 3.0–5.0 V) for operation in various system environments.
The host system can detect whether a program or erase operation is complete by observing the RY/BY# pin, by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling), or DQ6 (tog-
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector provid es an minimum 128-word area for code or data that can be permanently protected. Once this sector is protected, no further programming or erasing within the sector can occur.
The Write Protect (WP#) feature prot ects the f irst o r last sector by asserting a logic low on the WP# pin. The protected sector will still be protected even during accelerated programming.
The accelerated program (ACC) feature allows the system to program the device at a much faster rate. When ACC is pulled high to V
, the device enters the
HH
Unlock Bypass mode, enabling the user to reduce the time needed to do the program operation. This feature is intended to increas e factory th roughput d uring sys ­tem production, but may also be used in the field if de­sired.
AMDs Flash techn ology combines y ears 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 tunnelling. 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 in itiated through the internal command register. The command register itself does not occupy any addressabl e memory l oca­tion. The register is a latch used to store the com­mands, along with the ad dress and da ta information needed to execute the command. The contents of the
Table 1. Device Bus Operations
register serve as inputs to the intern al state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the function of the device. Table 1 lists the device bus operations, the in­puts and control l evels they requir e, and the resultin g output. The following subsections de scribe each of these operations in further detail.

VersatileIO (VIO) Control
The VersatileIO™ (VIO) control allows the host system to set the voltage levels that the device generates and tolerates on CE# and DQ I/O s to the same voltag e level that is asserted on V configurations (1.8–2.9 V and 3.0–5.0 V) for operation in various system environments.
For example, a V

The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facil­itate faster programming. Once the device enters the Unlock Bypass mo de, only two write cycles are re­quired to program a word or byte, instead of four.

Standby Mode

When the system is n ot reading or wri ting to the de­vice, it can place the device in the standby mode. In this mode, current consum ption is greatly reduc ed, and the outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE# input.

Automatic Sleep Mode

The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device en­ergy consumption. The device automatically enables this mode when addresses remain stable for t 30 ns. The automatic sleep mode is independent of the CE#, WE#, and OE# control signals. Standard ad­dress access timings provide new data when ad­dresses are changed. While in sleep mode, output data is latched and always available to the system.

The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and de­vice identification, and sector protection verification, through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This mode is prim arily intend ed for progr amming equi p­ment to automatically match a device to be pro­grammed with its corresponding programming algorithm. However, the autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system through the command register .
When using programming equipment, the autoselect mode requires V Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in

Sector Group Protection and Unprotection

The hardware sector group protection feature disables both program and erase operations in any sector group. In this device, a sector group consists of fou r adjacent sectors that are protected or unprotected at the same time (see Table 4). The hardware sector group unprotection feature re -enables both program and erase operations in previously protected sector groups. Sector group protection/unprotection can be implemented via two methods.
Sector protection/unprotection requires V SET# pin only, and can be implemented either in-sys­tem or via progr amming eq uipment. Figure 2 sh ows the algorithms and Figure 22 shows the timing dia­gram. This method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle timing. For sector group unprotect, all unpro­tected sector groups must first be protected prior to the first sector group unprotect write cycle.
The device is shipped with all se ctor groups unpro­tected. AMD offers the option of programming and protecting sector groups at its factory prior to shipping the device through AMDs ExpressFlash Service. Contact an AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determin e whether a se ctor group is protected or unprotected. See the Autoselect Mode section for details.

SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash Memory Region
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector feature provides a Flash memory region that enables permanent part identification through an Electronic Serial Number (ESN). The SecSi Sector is 128 words in length, and uses a SecSi Sector Indicator Bit (DQ7) to indicate whether or not the SecSi Sector is locked when shipped from the factory. This bit is permanently set at the factory and cannot be changed, which prevents cloning of a factory locked part. This ensures the secu­rity of the ESN once the product is shipped to the fie ld.
AMD offers the device with the SecSi Sector either factory locked or customer lockable. The fac­tory-locked version is alw ays protected when shipped from the factory, and has the SecSi (S ecured Silicon ) Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a “1.” The cus­tomer-lockable version is shipped with the SecSi Sec­tor unprotected, allo wing customers to u tilize that sector in any manner they choose. The customer-lock­able version also has the SecSi Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a “0.” Thu s, the SecSi Sector Indi­cator Bit prevents customer-lockable devices from being used to replace devices that are factory locked.
The SecSi sector address space in this device is allo­cated as follows:

vices are then shipped from AMDs factory with the SecSi Sector permanently locked. Contact an AMD representative for details on using AMDs Express­Flash service.
Customer Lockable: SecSi Sector NOT Programmed or Protected At the Factory
As an alternative to the factory-locked version, the de­vice may be ordered such that the customer may pro­gram and protect the 128-word SecSi sector. Programming and protecting the SecSi S ector must be used with caution since, once protected, there is no procedure available for unprotecting the SecSi Sector area and none of the bits in the SecSi Sector memory space can be modified in any way.
The SecSi Sector area can be prote cted using one of the following procedures:
Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region command sequence, and then follow the in-system sector protect algorithm as shown in Figure 2, ex­cept that RESET# may be at either V
or VID. This
IH
allows in-system protection of the SecSi Sector without raising any device pin to a high voltage. Note that this method is only applicabl e to the SecSi Sector.
Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region command sequence, and then use the alternate method of sector protection described in the “Sector Group Protection and Unprotection section.
Once the SecSi Secto r is programmed, loc ked and verified, the system must write the Exit SecSi Sector Region command sequence to return to reading and writing within the remainder of the array.
The system accesses the SecSi Sector through a command sequence (see Enter SecSi Sector/Exit SecSi Sector Command Sequence). After the system has written the Enter SecSi Sector command se­quence, it may read the SecSi Sector by using the ad­dresses normally occupied by the first sector (SA0). This mode of operation continues until the system is­sues the Exit SecSi Sector command sequ ence, or until power is removed from the device. On power-up, or following a hardware reset, the device reverts to sending commands to sector SA0.
Factory Locked: SecSi Sector Programmed and Protected At the Factory
In devices with an ESN, the SecSi Sector is protected when the device is shipped from the f a ctory. The SecSi Sector cannot be modified in any way. A factory locked device has an 8-word random E SN at addresses 000000h–000007h.
Customers may opt to have their code programmed by AMD through the AMD ExpressFlash service. The de-

Hardware Data Protection

The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles for programming or erasing provides data pro tection against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 10 for com­mand definitions).

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE (CFI)

The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification out­lines device and host system software interrogation handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified software algorithms to be used for entire families of devices. Software support can then be device-inde­pendent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and backward-comp atible for the spe cified flash dev ice families. Flash vendors can sta ndardiz e their existing interfaces for long-term compatibility.

The system can also write the CFI query command when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device enters the CFI qu ery mod e, and th e syste m can r ead CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 6–9. The system must write the reset command to return the de­vice to the autoselect mode.

COMMAND DEFINITIONS

Writing specific address and data commands or se­quences into the command register initiates device op­erations. Table 10 defines the valid register command sequences. Writing incorrect address and data val- ues or writing them in the improper sequence resets the device to reading array data.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens later. All dat a is latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens first. Refer to the AC Characteristics section for timing diagrams.

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 ready to read array data after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the device enters the erase-suspend-read mode, after which the system can read data from any non-erase-suspended sector. After completing a pro­gramming operation in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once again read array data with the same exception. See the Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands section for more information.
24 Am29LV640D/Am29LV641D September 20, 2002
The system must issue the reset command to return the device to the read (or erase-suspend-read) mode if DQ5 goes high during an active program or erase operation, or if the device i s in the autoselect mod e. See the next section, Reset Command, for more infor­mation.
See also Requirements for Reading Array Data in the Device Bus Operations section for more information. The Read-Only Operations table provides the read pa­rameters, and Figure 13 shows the timing diagram.

Reset Command

Writing the reset command resets the device to the read or erase-sus pend-read mod e. Address bi ts are dont cares for this command.
The reset command may be written between the se­quence cycles in an erase command sequence before erasing begins. This resets the device to the read mode. 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 sequence before programming begins. This resets the devic e to the read mode. If the pr ogram com mand sequ ence is written while the device is in the Erase Suspend mode, writing the reset comma nd returns the device to th e erase-suspend-re ad mode. Once pr ogramming b e­gins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the se­quence cycles in an autoselect command sequence. Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must be written to return to the read mode. If the de­vice entered the autosele ct mode whi le in the Erase Suspend mode, writing the reset command returns the device to the erase-suspend-read mode.
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation, writing the reset comma nd returns the device to th e read mode (or erase-suspend-read mode if the device was in Erase Suspend).

Autoselect Command Sequence

The autoselect command sequence allows the host system to access the manufacturer and device codes, and determine whether or not a sector is protected. Table 10 shows the address and data requ irements. This method is an alternative to that shown in Table 3, which is intended for PROM programmers and re­quires V mand sequence may be written to an address that is either in the read or eras e-suspend-rea d mode. The autoselect command may not be wri tten while the de­vice is actively programming or erasing.
on address pin A9. The autoselect com-
ID
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by first writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle that contains the autoselect command. The device then enters the autoselect mode. The system may read at any address any number of times without initiating another autoselect command sequence:
A read cycle at address XX00h returns the manu­facturer code.
A read cycle at address XX01h returns the device code.
A read cycle to an address containing a sector group address (SA), and the address 02h on A7 –A0 returns 01h if the sector group is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. (Refer to Table 4 for valid sector addresses).
The system must write the reset command to return to the read mode (or erase-suspend-read mode if the de­vice was previously in Erase Suspend).
Enter SecSi Sector/Exit SecSi Sector Command Sequence
The SecSi Sector region provides a secured data area containing an 8-word random Electronic Serial Num­ber (ESN). The system can access the SecSi Sector region by issuing the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector command sequence. The device continues to access the SecSi Sector region until the system issues the four-cycle Exit SecSi Sector command sequence. The Exit SecSi Sector command sequence returns the de­vice to norm al op eratio n. Table 10 shows the address and data requirements for both command sequences. See also SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash Memory Region for further information.

Word 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 addr ess and data are wr itten next, which in turn in itiate the Em bedded Program a l­gorithm. The system i s not required to provide furthe r controls or timings. The device automatically provides internally generated program puls es and verifies the programmed cell margin. Table 10 shows the address and data requirements for the byte program command sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device then returns to the read mode and ad­dresses are no longer latched. The system can deter­mine the status of the program operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. Refer to the Write Operation Status section for information on these status bits.
Any commands w ritten to the device during the Em­bedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note th at a
September 20, 2002 Am29LV640D/Am29LV641D 25
hardware reset immediately terminates the program operation. The program command sequence should be reinitiated once the device has returned to the read mode, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed from 0 back to a 1. Attempting to do so may cause the device to set DQ5 = 1, or cause the DQ7 and DQ6 status bits to indicate the operation was suc­cessful. However, a succeeding read will show t hat the data is still “0.” On ly erase ope rations can co nvert a 0 to a 1.

Unlock Bypass Command Sequence

The unlock bypass feature allows the system to pro­gram words to the device faster than using the stan­dard program command s equence. The unlock bypass command se quence is in itiated by firs t writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle containing the unlock bypass command, 20h. The device then enters the unlock bypass mo de. A two-cycle unlock bypass program command sequence is all that is required to program in this mode. The first cycle in this sequence contains the unlock bypass pro­gram command, A0h; the second cycle contains the program address and data. Additional data is pro­grammed in the same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial two unlock cycles required in the stan­dard program command sequence, resulting in faster total programming time. Table 10 shows the require­ments for the command sequence.
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock By­pass Program and Unlock Bypas s Reset comma nds are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset com­mand sequence. The first cycle must contain the data 90h. The second cycle must contain the data 00h. The device then returns to the read mode.
The device offers accelerated program operations through the ACC pin. When the system asserts V
HH
on the ACC pin, the device automatically enters the Un­lock Bypass mode. The system may then write the two-cycle Unlock Bypass pr ogram command se­quence. The device uses the higher voltage on the ACC pin to accelerate the operation. Note that the
ACC pin must not be at V
for operations other than
HH
accelerated programming, or device damage may re­sult.

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 algorithm. The device does not require the system to preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algo­rithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The system is not required to provide any con­trols or timings during these operations. Table 10 shows the address and data requirements for the chip erase command sequence.
26 Am29LV640D/Am29LV641D September 20, 2002
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns to the read mode and add resses are no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY#. Refer to the Write Operation Status section for information on these status bits.
Any commands written during the chip erase operation are ignored. However, note that a hardware reset im- mediately termina tes the erase operation. If tha t oc­curs, the chip erase command sequence should be reinitiated once the device has returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera­tion. Refer to the Erase and Program Operation s ta­bles in the AC Characteristics sectio n for parameters, and Figure 17 section for timing diagrams.

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 cycles are written, and are then fol­lowed by the address of the sector to be erased, and the sector erase command. Table 10 shows the ad­dress and data requirements for the sector erase com­mand sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm auto­matically programs and v erifies the entire m emory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrica l erase. The system is not required to provide any controls or tim­ings during these operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase time-out of 50 µs occurs. During the time-out period, additional sector addresses and sector erase com ­mands may be written. Loading the sector e rase buf fer 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 erasure may begin. Any sector erase address and command following the exceeded time-out may or may not be accepted. It is recom­mended that processor interrupts be disabled during this time to ensure all comm ands are accepted . The interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is written. Any command other than
Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during the time-out period resets the device to the read mode. The system must rewrite the command se-
quence and any additional addresses and commands. The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sec-
tor erase timer has timed out (See the section on DQ3: Sector Erase Timer.). The time-out begins from th e ris­ing edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the er ase operati on by rea ding DQ7, D Q6, DQ2, or RY/BY#. Note that while t he Embedded Er ase operation is in progress, the system can read data from the non-erasing sector. Refer to the Write Opera­tion Status section for information on these status bits.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the Erase Suspend command is valid. All other com­mands are ignored. However, note that a hardware reset immediately terminates the erase operation. If that occurs, the sector erase command seq uence should be reinitiated once the device has returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera­tion. Refer to the Erase and Program Operatio ns ta­bles in the AC Characteristics sectio n for parameters, and Figure 17 section for timing diagrams.

Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands

The Erase Suspend command, B0h, allows the sys­tem 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 command is ignored if written dur­ing the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algorithm.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during the sector erase operation, the device 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 device enters the erase-suspend-read mode. The sys­tem can read data from or program data to any sector not selected for erasure. (The device erase sus­pends all sectors selected for erasure.) Reading at any address with in erase-suspende d sectors pro­duces status information on DQ7–DQ0. The system can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-sus pended. Refer to the Write Operation Status section for infor­mation on these status bits.
After an eras e-sus pende d prog ram o pera tion is com­plete, the device returns to the erase-suspend-read mode. The system can determine the status of the program operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard word program operation.

Refer to the Write Operation Status section for more information.
In the erase-suspend-read mode, the system can also issue the autoselect command sequence. Refer to the Autoselect Mode and Autoselect Command Sequence sections for details.
To resume the sector erase operation, the system must write the Erase Resume command. The address of the erase-suspended sector is required when writ­ing this command. Further writes of the Resume com­mand are ignored. Another Erase Suspend com mand can be written after the chip has resumed erasing.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS

The device provides several bits to determine the status of a program or erase operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, and DQ7. Table 11 a nd the following subsections descr i be the function of these bits. DQ7 and DQ6 each offer a method for determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or in progress. The device also provides a hard­ware-based output signal, RY/BY#, to determine whether an Embedded Program or Eras e operation is in progress or has been completed.
invalid. Valid data on DQ0–DQ7 will appear on suc­cessive read cycles.
Table 11 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7. Figure 5 shows the Data# Polling algorithm. Figure 18 in the AC Characteristics section shows the Data# Polling timing diagram.

DQ7: Data# Polling

The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system whether an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or completed, or whether the device is in Erase Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the comma nd sequence .
During the Embedded Prog ram algorithm, the device out­puts on DQ7 the complement of t he datum pr ogr ammed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to programming during Erase Suspend. When t he Embedded Pr ogram algorit hm is complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The system must provide the program address to read valid status in formation on DQ7. If a program address falls within a protected sector, Data# Pollin g on DQ7 is ac­tive for approximately 1 µs, then the device returns to the read mode.
During the Embedd ed Erase algorith m, Data# Pollin g produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7. The system must provide an address within any of the sectors selected for erasure to r ead valid statu s infor­mation on DQ7.
After an erase com mand sequen ce is written, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data# Poll­ing on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 µs, then the device returns to the read mode. If not all selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unpr otected secto rs, and i gnores the se­lected sectors that are protected. However, if the sys­tem reads DQ7 at an address withi n a protected sector, the status may not be valid.
Just prior to the completion of an Embedded Program or Erase operation, DQ7 may change asynchronously with DQ0–DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is asserted low. That is, the device may change from providing status information to valid data on DQ7. Depending on when the system samples the DQ7 output, it may read the status or valid data. Even if the device has com­pleted the program or er ase operation and D Q7 has valid data, the data outputs on DQ0–DQ6 may be still

RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#

The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin which indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence. Since RY/BY# is an open-drain output, sev­eral RY/BY# pins can be tied together in parallel with a pull-up resistor to V
CC
.
If the output is low (Busy), the device is active ly eras­ing or programming. (This includes programming in the Erase Suspend mode.) If the output is high (Ready), the device is in the read mode, the standby mode, or the device is in the erase-suspend-read mode.
Table 11 shows the outputs for RY/BY#.

DQ6: Toggle Bit I

Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is in pro gress or com­plete, or whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend mo de. Toggle Bit I m ay be read at any a d­dress, and is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence (prior to the program or erase operation), and d uring 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 sectors selected for erasing are pr otect ed, DQ6 t oggles f or appr oxi­mately 100 µs, then returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algo­rithm erases the unprotected se ctors, and ignores the se­lected sectors that are prot ected.
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. When the device is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progre ss), DQ6 t oggles. When the de­vice enters the Erase Suspend mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system must also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are erasing or erase-suspended. Alterna­tively, the system can use DQ7 (see the subsection on DQ7: Data# Polling).
If a program address falls within a protected sector, DQ6 toggles for approximately 1 µs after the program command sequence is written, then returns to reading array data.
Table 11 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6. Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 19 in the AC Characteristics section shows the toggle bit timing diagrams. F igure 20 shows th e differences b e­tween DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also the subsection on DQ2: Toggle Bit II.

DQ2: Toggle Bit II

The Toggle Bit II on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indi­cates whether a particular sector is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), or whether that sector is erase-suspe nded. Toggle Bit II is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within those sectors that have been selected for era­sure. (The system may use either OE# or CE# to con­trol the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish whether the sector is actively era sing or is e rase-sus­pended. DQ6, by comparis on, indicates whether th e device is actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish wh ich sectors ar e selected for era­sure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and mode information. Refer to Table 11 to compare out­puts for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and the section DQ2: Toggle Bit II explains the algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection. Figure 19 shows the toggle bit timing diagr am. Figure 20 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form.

Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2

Refer to Figure 6 for the following discussion. When­ever the system initially begins reading toggle bit sta­tus, it must read DQ7–DQ0 at least twice in a row to determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the system would note and store the va lue 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 erase operation. The system can read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the fol­lowing read cycle.
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system determines that the tog gle bit is still togg ling, the sys ­tem also should note whether the value of DQ5 is high (see the section on DQ5). If it is, the system should then determine ag ain whether the toggle bit is to g­gling, 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 completed the operation successfully, and the system must write the reset command to return to reading array data.
The remaining s cenario is that th e system initia lly 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 successive read cy­cles, determining the status as described in the previ­ous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to perform other system tasks. In this case, the system must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it returns to de­termine the status of the operation (top of Figure 6).

DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits

DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has exceeded a specified int ernal pulse cou nt limit. Under t hese conditions DQ5 produces a “1,” indicating that the program or erase cycle was not successfully completed.
The device may output a “1” on DQ5 if the system tries to program a “1” to a location that was previously pro­grammed to “0.” Only an erase operation can change a 0 back to a 1. Under this condition, the device halts the operation, and when the timi ng limit has been exceeded, DQ5 produces a 1.
Under both these conditions, the system must write the reset command to return to the read mode (or to the erase-suspend-read mode if the device was previ­ously in the erase-suspend-program mode).

DQ3: Sector Erase Timer

After writing a sector erase command sequence, the system may read DQ3 to determ ine whether or not erasure has begun. (The sector erase timer does not apply to the chip erase com mand.) If additional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-out also applies afte r each a dditional se ctor eras e com­mand. When the time-out period is complete, DQ3 switches from a “0” to a “1.” If the tim e between addi­tional sector erase commands from the system can be assumed to be less than 50 µs, the system need not monitor DQ3. See also the Sector Erase Command Sequence section.
After the sector erase command is written, the system should read the status of DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6 (Toggle Bit I) to ensure that the device has accepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is 1, the Embedded Erase algorithm has begun; all fur­ther commands (except Erase Suspend) are ignored until the erase operation is complete. If DQ3 is “0,” the device will acce pt additional sector eras e com mands. To ensure the command has been a ccepted, the sys­tem software should check the status of DQ3 prior to and following each subsequent sector erase com­mand. If DQ3 is high on the sec ond status ch eck, the last command might not have been accepted.
Table 11 shows the status of DQ3 relative to the other status bits.
