GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Am29DL324 Features
The Am2 9DL324 is a 3 2 megabit, 3.0 volt-only flash
memory devices, organiz ed as 2,097, 152 words of 16
bits each or 4,194,304 bytes of 8 bits each. Word
mode data appears on DQ0–DQ15; byte mode data
appears on DQ0–DQ7. The device is designed to be
programmed in-system with the standard 3.0 volt V
supply, and can also be progr ammed in standar d
EPROM programmers.
The device is available with an access time of 90 ns.
The device is offered in a 73-ball FBGA package.
Standard con trol pins—chip enable (CE#f), write enable (WE#), and out put enab le (OE #)—c ontro l nor mal
read and write operations, and avoid bus contention
issues.
The device requires only a single 3.0 volt power sup-ply for both read and write functions. Internally
generated and regulated voltag es are pr ovided for the
program and erase operations.
CC
Simultaneous Read/Write Ope rations with
Zero Latency
The Simultaneous Read/Write architecture provides
simultaneous operation by dividing the memory
space into two banks. The device can improve overall
system performance b y a llowi ng a hos t sy ste m to pr ogram or erase in one bank, then immediately and
simultaneously read from the othe r bank, with zero latency. This releases the system from waiting for the
completion of program or erase operations.
The Am29DL324D has 16 Mb in each bank.
The Secured Silicon (SecSi) Sector is an extra 64
Kbit sector capable of being permanently lo cked by
AMD or customers. The SecSi Sector Indicator Bit
(DQ7) is permane ntly set to a 1 if the part is factorylocked, and set to a 0 if c ustomer lockable. This
way, customer lockable parts ca n nev er be us ed to re place a factory locked part.
Factory locked parts provide several options. The
SecSi Sector may store a secu re, random 16 by te
ESN (Electronic Serial Number). Customer Lockable
parts may utilize the Sec Si Sector as bonus space ,
reading and writing like any other flash sector, or may
permanently lock their own code there.
DMS (Data Management Software) allows systems
to easily take ad vantag e of the adva nced ar chitec ture
of the simultaneous read/write product line by allowing
removal of EEPROM devices. DMS will also allow the
system software to be simplified, as it will p erform all
functions necessary to modify data in file structures,
as opposed to single-byte modi fications. To write or
update a particular piece of data (a phone number or
configuration data, for example), the user only needs
to state which piece of data is to be updated, and
where the updated data is located in the system. This
is an advantage compared to systems where
user-written software must keep tr ack of the old da ta
location, status, logical to physical translation of the
data onto the Flash memory device (or m emory devices), and more. Using DMS, user-written software
does not need to interface with the Flash memory directly. Instead, the user's software accesses t he Fl ash
memory by calling one of onl y six func tions . AMD provides this software to simplify system design and
software integration efforts.
The device offers complete compatibility with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash command set
standard. Commands ar e written to the comman d
register using standard microprocessor write timings.
Reading data out of the device is similar to reading
from other Flash or EPROM devices.
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by using the device sta-tus bits: RY/BY# pin, DQ7 (D ata# Polling) and
DQ6/DQ2 (toggle bits). After a program or erase cycle
has been completed, the device automatically returns
to reading array data.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be erased and reprogra mmed withou t 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 secto rprotection 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 device offers two power-saving features. Whe n
addresses have been sta ble f or a spe cified am ount o f
time, the device enters the automatic sleep mode.
The system can also place the device into the
standby mode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in both modes.

This section describe s the requirements and use of
the device bus operations, which are initiated through
the internal co mmand reg ister. The comma nd regist er
itself does not occupy any addressable memory location. The register is a latch used to store the
commands, along with the address and data information needed to execu te th e c omm and . The c on ten ts of
the register serve as inputs to the internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the function
of the device. Tables 1 through 3 lists the de vice bus
operations, the inputs and control levels they require,
and the resulting output. The following subsections describe each of these operations in further detail.

Word/Byte Configuration
The CIOf pin controls whether the device data I/O pins
operate in the byte or word conf iguratio n. If the CIOf
pin is set at lo gic ‘1’, the device is in wor d configuration, DQ0–DQ15 are active and controlled by CE# and
OE#.
If the CIOf pin is set at logic ‘0’, the device is in byte
configuration, and o nly data I/O pi ns DQ0–DQ7 are
active and control led 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#f and OE# pins to V
. CE#f is the power
IL
control and sele cts the de vice. OE# is the outpu t control and gates array data to the output pins. WE#
should remain at V
. The CIOf pin dete rmines
IH
whether the de vice outputs a rray data in word s or
bytes.
The internal state machine is set for reading array data
upon device power-up, or af ter a har dware r eset. This
ensures that no sp urious alteration of th e memory
content occurs during the power transition. No command is necessary in this m ode to obtai n array data .
Standard micropr ocess or read cyc les that asse rt vali d
addresses on the de vice addre ss in puts produ ce vali d
data on the device data outp uts. Each bank remai ns
enabled for read access until the co mmand register
contents are altered.
See “Requirements for Reading Array Data” for more
information. Refer to the AC Flash Read-Only Operations table for timing specifications and to Figure 14 for
the timing diagram. I
in the DC Char acteristics
CC1
table represents the active current specification for
reading array data.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To write a command or command sequence (which includes programming data to the device and erasin g
sectors of memory), th e system must driv e WE# an d
CE#f to V
For program operation s, the CIOf pin determines
whether the device accept s program data in by tes or
words. Refer to “Word/Byte Configuration” for more
information.
The device features an Unlock Bypas s mode to facilitate 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
“Word/Byte Configuration” section has details on programming data to the device using both standard and
Unlock Bypass command sequences.
, and OE# to VIH.
IL
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. Tables 5–6 indicate the
address space that each sector occupies. The device
address space is divided into two banks: Bank 1 contains the boot/parameter sec tor s, and Ban k 2 co ntai ns
the larger, c ode sectors of uniform size. A “bank address” is the address b its r equ ir ed t o un iqu ely s el ect a
bank. Similarly, a “sector address” is the address bits
required to uniquely select a sector.
in the DC Characteristics table represents the ac-
I
CC2
tive current specification for the write mode. The AC
Characteristics section contains timing specification
tables and timing diagrams for write operations.
Accelerated Program Operation
The device offers accelerated p rogram oper ations
through the ACC function. This is one of two functions
provided by the WP#/ACC pin. This function is primarily intended to allow faster manufacturing throughput
at the factory.
If the system asserts V
on this pin, the devic e auto-
HH
matically enters th e aforemention ed Unlock B ypass
mode, temporarily unprotects any protected sectors,
and uses the h igher vo ltage on the pin to re duce th e
time required for program operations. The system
would use a two-cycle program command sequence
as required by the Unloc k Bypass mo de. Removing
from the WP#/ACC pin returns the device to nor-
V
HH
mal operation. Note that the WP#/ACC pin must not
be at V
for operations other than accelerated pro-
HH
gramming, or device damage may result. In ad dition,
the WP#/ACC pin must not be left floating or unconnected; inconsistent behavior of the device may result.
Autoselect Functions
If the system writes the autoselect command sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The
system can then read autosel ect co des from the internal register (which is separate from the memory array)
on DQ7–DQ0. Standar d read cycle timings app ly 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 reading data from one bank
of memory while programming or erasing in the other
bank of memory. An erase operation may also be su spended to read from or program to another location
within the same bank (except the sector being
erased). Figu re 21 s hows how read and w rite cycles
may be initiated for simultaneous operation with zero
latency. I

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 greatly reduced,
and the outputs are placed in the high impedance
state, independent of the OE# input.

) for read

access when the devi ce is in either of these stand by
modes, before it is ready to read data.
If the device is deselecte d during erasur e or programming, the device draws active current until the
operation is completed.

30 ns. The aut omatic sle ep mode is in dependent o f
the CE#f, WE#, and OE# control signals. Standard address access timi ngs provide new data when
addresses are changed. While in sleep mode, o utput
data is latc hed and always a vailable to the system.
in the DC Characteristics table represents the
I
CC4
automatic sleep mode current specification.
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When th e
RESET# pin is driven low for at least a period of t
RP
the device immediately terminates any operation in
progress, tristates all output pins, and ignores all
read/write commands for the duration of the RESET#
pulse. The device al so resets the i nternal state machine to reading arra y data. The o peration 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

SS

CC4
rent will be greater.
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 operation is complete, which requires a
time of t
(during Embed ded Algorithm s). The

The autoselect mode prov ides manufactur er and device identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This
mode is primarily intended for programming equipment to automatically match a device to be
programmed wi th its corres ponding pr ogrammin g algorithm. However, the autoselect codes can also be
accessed in-system through the command register.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in Table 12. This method
does not require V
. Refer to the Autoselect Com-
ID
mand Sequence section for more information.
Sector/Sector Block Protec ti on and
Unprotection
(Note: For the following discussi on, the term “sector”
applies to both sectors and sector blocks. A sector
block consists of two or more adjacent sectors that are
protected or unprotected at the same time (see Table
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hardware sector unpr otection feature re- enables both
program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors. Note th at the sect or unprote ct algorit hm unprotects all sectors in par allel. All previously protected
sectors must be individually re-protected. To change
data in protected sect ors efficiently, the temporary
sector un protect function is available. See “Temporary
Sector/Sector Bloc k Unpr ote ct ”.
Sector protectio n and unprotection ca n be implemented as follows.
Sector protection and unprotection r e qui res V

RESET# pin only, and can be implemented either
in-system or via programming equipment. Figure 2
shows the algorithms and Figure 26 shows the timing
diagram. This method uses standard m icroprocess or
bus cycle timing. Fo r sector unpr otect, all unprotecte d
sectors must first be protected prior to the first sector
unprotect write cycle.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
It is possible to determine whether a secto r is pro-
tected or unprotected. See the Autoselect Mode
section for details.
Write Protect (WP#)
The Write Protect function provides a hardware
method of protecting certai n boot sectors without
using V
WP#/ACC pin.
If the system asserts V
vice disables program and erase functions in the two
“outermost” 8 Kbyte b oot sectors indep endently of
whether those sectors were protected or unprotected
using the method described in “Sector/Sector Block
Protection and Unprotection”. The two outermost 8
Kbyte boot sectors are the two sectors containing the
lowest addresses in the bottom-boot-configured
device.
If the system asserts V
vice reverts to whether the two outermost 8 Kbyte boot
sectors were last set to be protected or unp rotected.
That is, sector protecti on or unprotection for these tw o
sectors depends on whether they were last protected
or unprotected using the method desc ribed in “Sec-
tor/Sector Block Protection and Unprotection”.

SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash
Memory R egion
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector feature provides a
Flash memory region that enables perm anent part
identification through an Electronic Serial Number
(ESN). The SecSi Sector is 64 Kbytes in length, and
uses a SecSi Sector Indicator Bit to indicate whether
or not the SecSi Sector is locked wh en shipped from
the factory. This bit is permanently set at the factory
and cannot be chan ged, whic h prevents cloning of a
factory locked part. This ensures th e security of the
ESN once the product is shipped to the field.
AMD offers the dev ice with the Sec Si Sector ei ther
factory locked or customer lockable. The factory-locked versi on is al ways p rotec ted wh en shi pped
from the factory, and has the SecSi Sector Indicator
Bit permanently set to a “1.” The customer-lock able
version is shipped with the unprotected, allowing customers to utilize the that sector in any manner they
choose. The custom er-loc kable v ersion has th e Sec Si
Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a “0.” Thus, the
SecSi Sector Indic ator Bit prev ents cus tomer-loc kable
devices from being used to replace devices that are
factory locked.
The system accesses the SecSi Sector through a
command sequence (s ee “Enter SecSi Sector/Exit
SecSi Sector Comman d Seq uence ”). Afte r the system
has written the Enter SecSi Sector command sequence, it may read the SecSi Sector by using the
addresses normally occupied by the boot sectors. This
mode of operation continues until the system issues
the Exit SecSi Sector command sequence, or until
power is removed from the device. On power-up, or
following a hardware reset, the device reverts to sending commands to the boot sectors.
ated programming (ACC) and unlock bypass functions
are not available wh en pro gram ming t he SecS i Se cto r.
The SecSi Sector area can be protected using one of
the following procedures:
■ Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region
command sequence, and the n fol low th e in-s ys te m
sector protect algorithm as sho wn in Figure 2, except that RESET# may be at eith er V
or VID. This
IH
allows in-system protection of the without raising
any device pin to a high voltage. Note that this
method is only applicable to the SecSi Sector.
■ Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region
command sequence, and then use the alternate
method of sector protection desc ribed in the “Sec-
tor/Sector Block Protection and Unprotection”.
Once the SecSi Sec tor i s locke d and v erified, t he system must write the Exit SecSi Sector Region
command sequence to return to reading and writing
the remainder of the array.
The SecSi Sector protection must be used with caution since, once protected, there is no procedure
available for unpro tecting the SecS i Sector area an d
none of the bits in th e SecSi Sect or memory space
can be modified in any way.
Hardware Data Protection
The command sequence r equ irement of unlock cycles
for programming or erasing provides data protection
against inadverten t writes ( refer to Table 12 for command definitions). In addition, the following hardware
data protection measures prevent accidental erasure
or programming , which might ot herwise be cause d by
spurious system level signals during V
and power-down transitions, or from system noise.

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE
(CFI)
The Common Flash Interface ( CFI) specific ation outlines device and hos t system software interrogation
handshake, which allows specific vendor-spe cified
software algorithms to be used for entire families of
devices. Software support can then be device-in dependent, JEDEC ID-i ndependent, an d forward- and
backward-compatible for the specified flash device
families. Flash vendors can standardize their existing
interfaces for long-term compatibility.

COMMAND DEFINITIO N S
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Ta ble 12 defines th e valid register command sequences. Writing incorrect address and
data values 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#f, whiche ver ha ppens late r. All data is latc hed
on the rising edge of W E# or CE#f, whiche ver happens first. Refer to the AC Characteristics section for
timing diagrams.
Reading Array Data
The device is automati cally set to re ading array dat a
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. Each bank is ready to read array data
after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded
Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,
the corresponding bank enters the erase-suspend-read mode, after which the system can read
data from any non-erase-suspended sector within the
same bank. 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.
The system must issu e the re set c omm and to r eturn a
bank to the read (or erase-suspend-read) mode if DQ5
goes high during an active program or erase operation, or if the bank is in the autoselect mode. 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 Flash Read-Only Operations table provides the
read parameters, and Figure 14 shows the timing
diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command resets the banks to the
read or erase-suspend-read mode. Address bits are
don’t cares for this command.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase co mm and s equ enc e befo re
erasing begins. Th is rese ts the b ank to w hich t he system was writing to reading a rray data . Once eras ure
begins, however, the device ignores reset commands
until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the
sequence cycles in a program command sequence
before programming begins. This resets the bank to
which the system was writing to reading array data. If
the program command sequence is written to a bank
that is in the Erase Suspend mode, writing the reset
command returns that ban k to the erase-suspend-read mode. Once programming begins,
however, the device ignores reset comman ds unti l the
operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an autosel ect comm and sequen ce.
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command
must be written to return to reading array data. If a
bank entered the autoselect mode while in the Erase
Suspend mode, writing the reset command returns
that bank to the erase-suspend-read mode.
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the banks to reading array data (or erase-suspend-read mode if that
bank was in Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequenc e allows the host
system to access the manufac ture r and de vice codes ,
and determine whether or not a sector is p rotected.
Table 12 shows the address and data requirements.
The autoselect command sequence may be written to
an address within a ba nk that is ei ther in the rea d or
erase-suspend-read mode. The autoselect command
may not be written while the device is actively programming or erasing in the other bank.
The autoselect comm and s equen ce i s init iated by first
writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third
write cycle that con tain s t he ba nk add ress an d the autoselect comman d. The bank then enters the
autoselect mode. The system may read at any address within the same bank any number of times
without initiating another autoselect command
sequence:
■ A read cycle at addres s (BA)XX00h (where BA is
the bank address) returns the manufacturer code.
■ A read cy cle at address (BA)X X01h in word mode
(or (BA)XX02h in byte mode) returns the dev ice
code.
■ A read cy cle to an a ddress co ntaining a sector address (SA) within the same bank , and the address
02h on A7–A0 in word mode (or the address 04h on
A6–A-1 in byte mode) returns 01h if the sector is
protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. (Refer to Tables 5–6 for valid sector addre sses ) .
The system must write the reset command to return to
reading array data (or erase-suspend-read mode if the
bank was previously in Erase Suspend).
DS4251623
Enter SecSi Sector/Exit SecSi Sector
Command Sequence
The system can acces s the S ec Si Se ct or re gio n by issuing the thre e-cycle Ente r SecSi S ector co mmand
sequence. The device continues to access the SecSi
Sector region until the sy stem issues the four-cyc le
Exit SecSi Sector command sequence. The Exit SecSi
Sector command sequence returns the device to normal operation. Table 12 shows th e address and data
requirements for bot h com ma nd seq ue nces. Se e also
“SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash Memory Region” for fu rther information. Note that a har dware
reset (RESET# =V
) will reset the device to reading
IL
array data.
Byte/Word Program Command Sequence
The system may program the device by word or byte,
depending on the state of the CIOf pin. Programming
is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program command
sequence is initiated by writi ng two unlock write cycles, follo wed by th e progr am 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 fur ther controls or
timings. The device automatically provides internally
generated program pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin. Table 12 shows the address
and data requirements for the byte program command
sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
that bank then returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can
determine the status of the prog ram operation by
using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. Refer to the Write O peration Status se ction for info rmation on the se status
bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are i gnored. Note that a
hardware reset immediately terminates the p rogram
operation. The program command sequence should
be reinitiated once th at bank ha s retur ned to readin g
array data, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across
sector bounda ries. A bit cannot be programmedfrom “0” back to a “1.” Attempting to do so may
cause that bank to set DQ5 = 1, or cause the DQ7 and
DQ6 status bits to indicate the operation was success-
ful. However, a succeeding read will show that the
data is still “0.” Only erase operations can convert a
“0” to a “1.”
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program bytes or words to a bank faster than using the
standard program command sequence. The unlock
bypass command sequence is initiated by first writing
two unlock cycles. Th is is followed by a third write
cycle containing the unlock bypass command, 20h.
That bank then enters the unlock bypass mode. A
two-cycle unlock bypass program command sequence
is all that is requi re d to pr og ram i n t his m ode . T he fir st
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 ma nner. This mode dispenses
with the initial two unlock cycles r equired in the standard program command sequence, resulting in faster
total programming time. Table 12 shows the requirements for the command sequence.
During the unlock bypas s mode, on ly the Unlock Bypass Program and Unlock Bypass Reset commands
are valid. To exit the unl ock bypas s mode, th e system
must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset command sequence. The fi rst cy cl e m us t c onta in the bank
address and the data 90h. T he second cycle nee d
only contain the data 00h. The bank then returns to
the reading array data.
The device offers accelerated p rogram oper ations
through the WP#/ACC pin. W hen the system asserts
on the WP#/ACC pin, the device automatically en-
V
HH
ters the Unlock Bypass mode. The system may then
write the two-cycle Un lock Bypa ss progr am comman d
sequence. The device uses the higher voltage on the
WP#/ACC pin to accelerate the operation. Note that
the WP#/ACC pin must not be at V
any operation
HH
other than accelerated programmin g, or dev ice damage may result. In addition, the WP#/ACC pin must not
be left floating or unconnected; inconsistent behavior
of the device may result.

Operations table in the AC Characteristics section for
parameters, and Figure 18 for timing diagrams.

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 se t-up c ommand . Two additional
unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase
command, which in turn inv ok es th e E mb edde d E ras e

preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire
memory for an all zero data patter n prior to e lectrical
erase. The syst em is not r equired to prov ide any co ntrols or timings during these operations. Table 12

section for information on these status bits.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer to the Flash Erase and Program
Operations tables in the AC Characteristics section for
parameters, and Figure 20 section for timing
diagrams.
Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a s ix bus cycle op eration. The sector
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two
unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock cycles are wr itten, and are then
followed by the address of the sector to be erased,
and the sector erase command. Table 12 shows the
address and data requirements for the sec tor erase
command sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram
prior to erase. The E mbedded E rase algori thm automatically programs and verifies the entire memory for
an all zero da ta patter n prior to electri cal eras e. The
system is not required to provi de 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 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, other wis e eras ur e m ay beg in. An y sector erase
address and command following the exceeded
time-out may or may not be accepted. It is recommended that proce ssor i nterru pts be disa bled durin g
this time to ensure all commands 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 that bank to reading array
data. 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 the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
When the Embedded Erase al gor it hm is com pl ete, the
bank returns to readi ng array data an d addr esses a re
no longer latched. Note that while the Embedded
Erase operation is in progress, the system can read
data from the non-erasing bank. T he system can de-

termine the status of the erase operation by reading
DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY# in the erasing bank.
Refer to the Write Oper ation Status section for i nformation on these status bits.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, on ly the
Erase Suspen d command is valid . All other commands are ignored. However, note that a hardwarereset immediately terminates the erase operation. If
that occurs, the sector erase command sequence
should be reinitiated once that bank has returned to
reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer to the Flash Erase and Program
Operations tables in the AC Characteristics section for
parameters, and Figure 20 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 prog ram data to , a ny s ec tor n ot se lec te d
for erasure. The bank address is required when writing
this command. 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 oper ation or Embedded P rogram
algorithm.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during
the sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum of 20 µs to sus pend the erase operation.
However, when the Erase Suspend command is written during the s ector erase time-out, the device
immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase operation.
mode. The system can determine the status of the
program operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits,
just as in the standard Byte Program operation.
Refer to the Write Operatio n Status s ection for mor e
information.
In the erase-suspend-rea d mode, the sys tem can als o
issue the autoselec t c om man d s equ ence. 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 bank
address of the erase-suspended bank is re quired
when writing this command. Further writes of the Resume comma nd ar e igno red. A nothe r Eras e Su spend
command can be written after the chip has resumed
erasing.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS
The device provides several bi ts to determ ine the status of a program or erase o peration: DQ2, DQ3, D Q5,
DQ6, and DQ7. Table 13 and the following subs ections describe the function of these bits. DQ7 and DQ6
each offer a method for deter mining wheth er a program or erase operation is comp lete or in progress .
The device also provides a hardware-based output
signal, RY/BY#, to determine whether an Embedded
Program or Erase operation is in progress or has been
completed.
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system whether an Embedded Program or Erase
algorithm is in progr ess or completed, or whether a
bank is in Erase Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after
the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
During the Embedded Program algorit hm, the device
outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum programmed to DQ7. This DQ7 s tatus also a pplies to
programming during Erase Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device
outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The system
must provide the progr am add re ss to read v al id sta tus
information on DQ7. If a program address falls within a
protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for
approximately 1 µs, then that bank returns to reading
array data.
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling
produces a “0” on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase
algorithm is complete, or if the bank enters the Erase
Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7.
The system must prov ide an a ddr es s w ith in a ny of th e
sectors selected for erasure to read valid status information on DQ7.
After an erase command sequence i s written, if all
sectors selected for e ra sing ar e p ro tected, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 µs, then
the bank returns to reading a rray data. If no t all selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase
algorithm erases the un pr ote cte d sec tor s , a nd ig nor es
the selected sectors that are protected. However, if the
system reads DQ7 at an address within a protected
sector, the status may not be valid.
Just prior to the com pleti on of an E mbed ded P rogram
or Erase operati on, DQ7 may cha nge a syn chro nous ly
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 com-
pleted the program or erase operation and DQ7 has
valid data, the da ta outputs on DQ0–DQ6 may be still
invalid. Valid data on DQ0–DQ7 will appear on successive read cycles.

RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin
which indic ates whe ther an Em bedd ed A lgo rithm 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 actively erasing or programmin g. (This include s programmi ng in
the Erase Suspend mode.) If the output is high
(Ready), the device is re ading ar ray data, th e stan dby
mode, or one of the banks is in the erase-suspend-read mode.
Table 13 shows the outputs for RY/BY#.
DQ6: T oggle Bit I
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 i ndicates whethe r an Emb edded
Program or Erase algorithm is in progr ess or complete, or whether the device has entered the Erase
Suspend mode. 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.
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-pro gram
mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Program algorithm is complete.
Table 13 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 23 in
the “AC Charac teristics” section shows the toggle bi t

During an Embedded P rogram or Erase alg orithm operation, successive read cycles to any address cause
DQ6 to toggle. The system may use either OE# or
CE#f to control the read cy c les. W hen the operation is
complete, DQ6 stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence i s written, if all
sectors selected for erasing are protected, DQ6 toggles for approxim ately 100 µs , then retur ns to readi ng
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.
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine whether a sector is actively erasing or is
erase-suspended. Wh en the device is activel y erasin g
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
DQ6 toggles. When the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, DQ6 stops togg li ng. Howe ver, the system

DQ2: Toggle Bit II
The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, whe n u sed wi th DQ6, indi-
cates whether a particula r sector is actively erasin g
(that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
or whether that sector is erase-suspended. 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#f to
control the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish
whether the s ector i s acti vely era sing or is er ase-s uspended. DQ6, by comparison, indicates whether the
device is actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but
cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and
mode information. Refer to Table 13 to compare outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorit hm in flowchart
form, and the se ct ion “DQ 2: Toggle Bit II” explains the
algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection.
Figure 23 shows the toggle bit timing diagram. Figure
24 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 begi ns reading toggle bit
status, it must read DQ7–DQ0 at least twic e in a row
to determine whether a toggle bit is tog gl ing. Typically,
the system would note and store the value of the toggle bit after the first read. After the second read, the
system would compare th e new va lue of th e tog gle 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–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 ha ve stopped tog gling
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 op eration su cces sfull y, and
the system must write th e rese t comma nd to ret urn to
reading array data.
The remaining scenario is that the system initially determines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ5 has
not gone high. The system may conti nue to monitor
the toggle bit and DQ5 through successive re ad cy-
cles, determ ining the status as de scribed in the
previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to
perform other system tasks. In this case, the system
must start at the beginni ng o f the a lgo rithm when it r eturns to determin e the status of the operat ion (top of
Figure 6).
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time
has exceeded a specified internal pulse count li mit.
Under these conditions DQ5 produces a “1,” indicating
that the program or erase c ycle was not s uccessfully
completed.
The device may output a “1” on DQ5 if the system tries
to program a “1” to a loc ation that was prev iousl y programmed to “0.” Only an erase opera tion canchange a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the
device halts the operation, and when the timing limit
has been exceeded, DQ5 produces a “1.”
Under both these conditions, the system must write
the reset command to return to reading array data (or
to the erase-suspend-read mode if a bank was previously in the erase-suspend-program mode).
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sect or erase co mmand sequ ence, the
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not
erasure has begun. (The sector erase timer does not
apply to the chip erase command.) If additional
sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-out
also applies after each additional sector erase command. When the time-out period is c omplete, DQ3
switches from a “0” to a “1.” If the time 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 comman d is writte n, the syste m
should read the statu s o f D Q7 (D ata # Po llin g) or DQ 6
(Toggle B it I) to ensure that the device has ac cepted
the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is
“1,” the Embedded Erase alg orithm has begun; al l further commands (e xcept E rase Sus pend) ar e ignor ed
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 command. If DQ3 is high on the second status check, the
last command might not have been accepted.

details.
3. When reading write operation status bi ts, the system must always provide the bank address whe re the Embedde d Algorithm

2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, V
= 2.7 V, 1,000,000 cycles.
CC
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes
program faster than the maximum program times listed.
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 two- or four-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See Table
12 for further information on command definitions.
6. The device has a minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 1,000,000 cycles.
