Description
The AT49F040 is a 5-volt-only in-system Flash Memory. Its 4 megabits of memory is organized as 524,288 words by 8 bits. Manufactured with Atmel’s advanced nonvola­tile CMOS technology, the device offers access times to 90 ns with power dissipation of just 275 mW over the commercial temperature range. When the device is dese­lected, the CMOS standby current is less than 100 µA.
To allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the AT49F040 does not require high input voltages for programming. Five-volt-only commands determine the read and programming operation of the device. Reading data out of the device is similar to reading from an EPROM. Reprogramming the AT49F040 is performed by erasing the entire 4 megabits of memory and then programming on a byte by byte basis. The byte programming time is a fast 50 µs. The end of a program cycle can be optionally detected by the detected, a new access for a read or program can begin. The typical number of pro­gram and erase cycles is in excess of 10,000 cycles.

When at the memory location determined by the address pins is asserted on the outputs. The outputs are put in the high impedance state whenever line control giv es designers flexibility in preventing bus contention.
ERASURE: Before a byte can be reprogrammed, the 512K bytes memory array (or 496K bytes if the boot block featured is used) must be erased. The erased state of the memory bits is a logical “1". The entire device can be erased at one time by using a 6-byte software code. The software chip eras e code consists of 6-byte load com­mands to specific address locations with a specific data pattern (please refer to the Chip Erase Cycle Waveforms).
After the software chip erase has been initiated, the devic e will internally time the erase operation so that no external clocks are required. The maximum time needed to erase the whole chip is t been enable d, the data in the boot sector will not be erased.
BYTE PROGRAMMING: Once the memory array is erased, the device is programmed (to a logical “0") on a byte-by-byte basis. Please note that a data ”0" cannot be programmed back to a “1"; only erase operations can con­vert ”0"s to “1"s. Programming is accomplished via the in­ternal device command register and is a 4 bus cycle op­eration (please refer to the Command Definitions table). The device will automatically generate the required inter­nal program pulses.

cle time. The DATA polling feature may also be used to indicate the end of a program cycle.
BOOT BLOCK PROGRAMMING LOCKOUT: The de­vice has one designated block that has a programming lockout fea ture. This feature p revents programming of data in the designated block once the feature has been enabled. The size of the block is 16K bytes. This block, referred to as the boot block, can contain secure code that is used to bring up the system. Enabling the lockout fea­ture will allow the boot code to stay in the device while data in the rest of the device is updated. This feature does not have to be activated; the boot block’s usage as a write protected region is optional to the user. The address r ange of the boot block is 00000H to 03FFFH.
Once the feature is enabled, the data in the boot block can no longer be erased or programmed. Data in the main memory block can still be changed through the regular programming method. To activate the lockout feature, a series o f six program commands to specific addresses with specific data must be performed. Please refer to the Command Definitions table.
BOOT BLOCK LOCKOUT DETECTION: A software method is available to determine if programming of the boot block section is locked out. When the device is in the software product identification mode (see Software Prod­uct Identification Entry and Exit sections) a read from ad­dress location 00002H will show if programming the boot block is locked out. If the data on I/O0 is low, the boot block can be programmed; if the data on I/O0 is high, the program lockout feature has been activated and the block cannot be programmed. The software product identifica­tion code should be used to return to standard operation.

Device Operation (Continued)
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: The product identification
mode identifies the device and manufacturer as Atmel. It may be accessed by hardware or software operation. The hardware operation mode can be used by an external pro­grammer to identify the correct programming algorithm for the Atmel product.
For details, see Operating Modes (for hardware operation) or Software Product Identification. The manufacturer and device code is the same for both modes.
DATA POLLING: The AT49F040 features
DATA polling to indicate the end of a program cycle. During a program cycle an attempted read of the last byte loaded will result in the complement of the loaded data on I/O7. Once the program cycle has been completed, true data is valid on all outputs and the next cycle may begin.
DATA polling
may begin at any time during the program cycle.

TOGGLE BIT: In addition to
provides another method for determining the end of a pro­gram or erase cycle. During a program or erase operation, successive attempts to read data from the device will re­sult in I/O6 toggling between one and zero. Once the pro­gram cycle has completed, I/O6 will stop toggling and valid data will be read. Examining the toggle bit may begin at any time during a program cycle.
HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION: Hardware features protect against inadvertent programs to the AT49F040 in the following ways: (a) V (typical), the program function is inhibited. (b) Program in­hibit: holding any one of hibits program cycles. (c) Noise filter: pulses of less than 15 ns (typical) on the program cycle.
