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

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

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.
Command Definition (in He x)
AT49F040
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.
