GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRELIMINARY
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 85 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 s yste m to program 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 r eplace 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 as h
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 wo rd 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 ocessor read cycle s that asse rt valid
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.

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.

addresses are changed. While in sleep mode, o utput

I

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

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
READY
system can thus monitor RY/BY# to determine
whether the reset ope ratio n is co mplete . If RES ET# 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

Output Disable Mode
When the OE# input is at VIH, output from the device is
disabled. The output pins are placed in the high

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 re s V
on the
ID
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”.

Temporary Sector/Sector Block Unprotect
(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

This feature allows temporary unprotection of previ-
