Intel’s 28F010 CMOS flash memory offers the most cost-effective and reliable alternative for read/write
random access nonvolatile memory. The 28F010 adds electrical chip-erasure and reprogramming to familiar
EPROM technology. Memory contents can be rewritten: in a test socket; in a PROM-programmer socket; onboard during subassembly test; in-system during final test; and in-system after-sale. The 28F010 increases
memory flexibility, while contributing to time- and cost-savings.
The 28F010 is a 1024-kilobit nonvolatile memory organized as 131,072 bytes of 8 bits. Intel’s 28F010 is
offered in 32-pin Plastic DIP or 32-lead PLCC packages. Pin assignments conform to JEDEC standards.
Extended erase and program cycling capability is designed into Intel’s ETOX
TM
III (EPROM Tunnel Oxide)
process technology. Advanced oxide processing, an optimized tunneling structure, and lower electric field
combine to extend reliable cycling beyond that of traditional EEPROMs. With the 12.0V V
28F010 performs a minimum of 1,000 erase and program cycles well within the time limits of the Quick-Pulse
supply, the

Programming and Quick-Erase algorithms.
Intel’s 28F010 employs advanced CMOS circuitry for systems requiring high-performance access speeds, low
power consumption, and immunity to noise. Its 120 nanosecond access time provides no-WAIT-state performance for a wide range of microprocessors and microcontrollers. Maximum standby current of 300 mA translates into power savings when the device is deselected. Finally, the highest degree of latch-up protection is
achieved through Intel’s unique EPI processing. Prevention of latch-up is provided for stresses up to 100 mA

APPLICATIONS
The 28F010 flash-memory adds electrical chip-erasure and reprogrammability to EPROM non-volatility
and ease of use. The 28F010 is ideal for storing
code or data-tables in applications where periodic
updates are required. The 28F010 also serves as a
dense, nonvolatile data acquisition and storage medium.
The need for code updates pervades all phases of a
system’s lifeÐfrom prototyping to system manufacture to after-sale service. In the factory, during prototyping, revisions to control code necessitate ultraviolet erasure and reprogramming of EPROM-based
prototype codes. The 28F010 replaces the 15- to
20-minute ultraviolet erasure with one-second electrical erasure. Electrical chip-erasure and reprogramming occur in the same workstation or PROMprogrammer socket.
Diagnostics, performed at subassembly or final assembly stages, often require the socketing of
EPROMs. Socketed test codes are ultimately replaced with EPROMs containing the final program.
With electrical chip-erasure and reprogramming, the
28F010 is soldered to the circuit board. Test codes
are programmed into the 28F010 as it resides on the
circuit board. Ultimately, the final code can be downloaded to the device. The 28F010’s in-circuit alterability eliminates unnecessary handling and less-reliable socketed connections, while adding greater
test flexibility.
Material and labor costs associated with code
changes increase at higher levels of system integrationÐthe most costly being code updates after sale.
Code ‘‘bugs’’, or the desire to augment system functionality, prompt after-sale code updates. Field revisions to EPROM-based code require the removal of
EPROM components or entire boards.
Designing with the in-circuit alterable 28F010 eliminates socketed memories, reduces overall material
costs, and drastically cuts the labor costs associated with code updates. With the 28F010, code updates are implemented locally via an edge-connector, or remotely over a serial communication link.
The 28F010’s electrical chip-erasure, byte reprogrammability, and complete nonvolatility fit well with
data accumulation needs. Electrical chip-erasure
gives the designer a ‘‘blank-slate’’ in which to log
data. Data can be periodically off-loaded for analysisÐerasing the slate and repeating the cycle. Or,
multiple devices can maintain a ‘‘rolling window’’ of
accumulated data.
With high density, nonvolatility, and extended cycling
capability, the 28F010 offers an innovative alternative for mass storage. Integrating main memory and
backup storage functions into directly executable
flash memory boosts system performance, shrinks
system size, and cuts power consumption. Reliability
exceeds that of electromechanical media, with
greater durability in extreme environmental conditions.
A high degree of on-chip feature integration simplifies memory-to-processor interfacing. Figure 3 depicts two 28F010s tied to the 80C186 system bus.
The 28F010’s architecture minimizes interface circuitry needed for complete in-circuit updates of
memory contents.
With cost-effective in-system reprogramming and
extended cycling capability, the 28F010 fills the
functionality gap between traditional EPROMs and
EEPROMs.EPROM-compatiblespecifications,
straightforward interfacing, and in-circuit alterability
allows designers to easily augment memory flexibility and satisfy the need for updatable nonvolatile
storage in today’s designs.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Flash-memory augments EPROM functionality with
in-circuit electrical erasure and reprogramming. The
28F010 introduces a command register to manage
this new functionality. The command register allows
for: 100% TTL-level control inputs; fixed power supplies during erasure and programming; and maximum EPROM compatibility.
In the absence of high voltage on the V
28F010 is a read-only memory. Manipulation of the
external memory-control pins yields the standard
EPROM read, standby, output disable, and Intelligent Identifier operations.
The same EPROM read, standby, and output disable
operations are available when high voltage is applied to the V
enables erasure and programming of the device. All
functions associated with altering memory contentsÐIntelligent Identifier, erase, erase verify, program, and program verifyÐare accessed via the
command register.
Commands are written to the register using standard
microprocessor write timings. Register contents
serve as input to an internal state-machine which
controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write
cycles also internally latch addresses and data
pin. In addition, high voltage on V

needed for programming or erase operations. With
the appropriate command written to the register,
standard microprocessor read timings output array
data, access the Intelligent Identifier codes, or output data for erase and program verification.
Integrated Program/Erase Stop Timer
Successive command write cycles define the durations of program and erase operations; specifically,
the program or erase time durations are normally
terminated by associated program or erase verify
commands. An integrated stop timer provides simplified timing control over these operations; thus eliminating the need for maximum program/erase timing
specifications. Program and erase pulse durations
are minimums only. When the stop timer terminates
a program or erase operation, the device enters an
inactive state and remains inactive until receiving the
appropriate verify or reset command.
Write Protection
The command register is only alterable when VPPis
at high voltage. Depending upon the application, the
system designer may choose to make the V
er supply switchableÐavailable only when memory
updates are desired. When high voltage is removed,

With Chip-Enable at a logic-high level, the standby
operation disables most of the 28F010’s circuitry
and substantially reduces device power consumption. The outputs are placed in a high-impedance
state, independent of the Output-Enable signal. If
the 28F010 is deselected during erasure, programming, or program/erase verification, the device
draws active current until the operation is terminated.
Intelligent Identifier Operation
The Intelligent Identifier operation outputs the manufacturer code (89H) and device code (B4H). Programming equipment automatically matches the

Read Command
While VPPis high, for erasure and programming,
memory contents can be accessed via the read
command. The read operation is initiated by writing
00H into the command register. Microprocessor
read cycles retrieve array data. The device remains
enabled for reads until the command register contents are altered.

Intelligent Identifier Command
Flash-memories are intended for use in applications
where the local CPU alters memory contents. As
such, manufacturer- and device-codes must be accessible while the device resides in the target system. PROM programmers typically access signature
codes by raising A9 to a high voltage. However, multiplexing high voltage onto address lines is not a desired system-design practice.
The 28F010 contains an inteligent Identifier operation to supplement traditional PROM-programming
methodology. The operation is initiated by writing
90H into the command register. Following the command write, a read cycle from address 0000H retrieves the manufacturer code of 89H. A read cycle
from address 0001H returns the device code of
B4H. To terminate the operation, it is necessary to
write another valid command into the register.

and Waveforms for specific timing parameters.
Erase-Verify Command
The erase command erases all bytes of the array in
parallel. After each erase operation, all bytes must
be verified. The erase verify operation is initiated by
writing A0H into the command register. The address
for the byte to be verified must be supplied as it is
latched on the falling edge of the Write-Enable
pulse. The register write terminates the erase opera-
tion with the rising edge of its Write-Enable pulse.
The 28F010 applies an internally-generated margin
voltage to the addressed byte. Reading FFH from
the addressed byte indicates that all bits in the byte
are erased.
The erase-verify command must be written to the
command register prior to each byte verification to
latch its address. The process continues for each
byte in the array until a byte does not return FFH
data, or the last address is accessed.
In the case where the data read is not FFH, another
erase operation is performed. (Refer to Set-up
Erase/Erase). Verification then resumes from the
address of the last-verified byte. Once all bytes in
the array have been verified, the erase step is com-
plete. The device can be programmed. At this point,
the verify operation is terminated by writing a valid
command (e.g. Program Set-up) to the command
register. Figure 5, the Quick-Erase algorithm, illus-
trates how commands and bus operations are com-
bined to perform electrical erasure of the 28F010.
Refer to A.C. Erase Characteristics and Waveforms
for specific timing parameters.
Set-up Erase/Erase Commands
Set-up Erase is a command-only operation that
stages the device for electrical erasure of all bytes in
the array. The set-up erase operation is performed
by writing 20H to the command register.
To commence chip-erasure, the erase command
(20H) must again be written to the register. The
erase operation begins with the rising edge of the
Write-Enable pulse and terminates with the rising
edge of the next Write-Enable pulse (i.e., Erase-Verify Command).
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by execution ensures that memory contents are not accidentally erased. Also, chip-erasure can only occur when
8
Set-up Program/Program Commands
Set-up program is a command-only operation that
stages the device for byte programming. Writing 40H
into the command register performs the set-up
operation.
Once the program set-up operation is performed,
the next Write-Enable pulse causes a transition to
an active programming operation. Addresses are in-
ternally latched on the falling edge of the Write-En-
able pulse. Data is internally latched on the rising
edge of the Write-Enable pulse. The rising edge of
Write-Enable also begins the programming opera-
tion. The programming operation terminates with the
next rising edge of Write-Enable, used to write the
program-verify command. Refer to A.C. Program-

Program-Verify Command
The 28F010 is programmed on a byte-by-byte basis.
Byte programming may occur sequentially or at random. Following each programming operation, the
byte just programmed must be verified.
The program-verify operation is initiated by writing
C0H into the command register. The register write
terminates the programming operation with the rising edge of its Write-Enable pulse. The program-verify operation stages the device for verification of the
byte last programmed. No new address information
is latched.
The 28F010 applies an internally-generated margin
voltage to the byte. A microprocessor read cycle
outputs the data. A successful comparison between
the programmed byte and true data means that the
byte is successfully programmed. Programming then
proceeds to the next desired byte location. Figure 4,
the 28F010 Quick-Pulse Programming algorithm, illustrates how commands are combined with bus operations to perform byte programming. Refer to A.C.

Reset Command
A reset command is provided as a means to safely
abort the erase- or program-command sequences.

A valid command must then be written to place the

ty of oxide defects in the region. Finally, the peak
electric field during erasure is approximately 2 MV/
cm lower than EEPROM. The lower electric field
greatly reduces oxide stress and the probability of
failureÐincreasing time to wearout by a factor of
100,000,000.
The device is programmed and erased using Intel’s
Quick-Pulse Programming and Quick-Erase algo-
rithms. Intel’s algorithmic approach uses a series of
operations (pulses), along with byte verification, to
completely and reliably erase and program the de-
vice.
QUICK-PULSE PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM
The Quick-Pulse Programming algorithm uses pro-
gramming operations of 10 ms duration. Each opera-
tion is followed by a byte verification to determine
when the addressed byte has been successfully pro-
grammed. The algorithm allows for up to 25 pro-
gramming operations per byte, although most bytes
verify on the first or second operation. The entire
sequence of programming and byte verification is
performed with V

QUICK-ERASE ALGORITHM
Intel’s Quick-Erase algorithm yields fast and reliable
electrical erasure of memory contents. The algo-
rithm employs a closed-loop flow, similar to the
Quick-Pulse Programming algorithm, to simulta-
neously remove charge from all bits in the array.
Erasure begins with a read of memory contents. The
28F010 is erased when shipped from the factory.
Reading FFH data from the device would immedi-
ately be followed by device programming.
EXTENDED ERASE/PROGRAM CYCLING
EEPROM cycling failures have always concerned
users. The high electrical field required by thin oxide
EEPROMs for tunneling can literally tear apart the
oxide at defect regions. To combat this, some suppliers have implemented redundancy schemes, reducing cycling failures to insignificant levels. However, redundancy requires that cell size be doubledÐ
an expensive solution.
Intel has designed extended cycling capability into
its ETOX-II flash memory technology. Resulting improvements in cycling reliability come without increasing memory cell size or complexity. First, an
advanced tunnel oxide increases the charge carrying ability ten-fold. Second, the oxide area per cell
subjected to the tunneling electric field is one-tenth
that of common EEPROMs, minimizing the probabili-

Erase execution then continues with an initial erase
operation. Erase verification (data

FFH) begins at
address 0000H and continues through the array to
the last address, or until data other than FFH is encountered. With each erase operation, an increasing
number of bytes verify to the erased state. Erase
efficiency may be improved by storing the address of
the last byte verified in a register. Following the next
erase operation, verification starts at that stored address location. Erasure typically occurs in one second. Figure 5 illustrates the Quick-Erase algorithm.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Two-Line Output Control
Flash-memories are often used in larger memory arrays. Intel provides two read-control inputs to accommodate multiple memory connections. Two-line
control provides for:
a. the lowest possible memory power dissipation
and,
b. complete assurance that output bus contention
will not occur.
To efficiently use these two control inputs, an address-decoder output should drive chip-enable,
while the system’s read signal controls all flashmemories and other parallel memories. This assures
that only enabled memory devices have active outputs, while deselected devices maintain the low
power standby condition.
Power Supply Decoupling
Flash memory power-switching characteristics require careful device decoupling. System designers
are interested in three supply current (I

duced by falling and rising edges of chip-enable. The

Power Up/Down Protection
The 28F010 is designed to offer protection against
accidental erasure or programming, caused by spurious system-level signals that may exist during power transitions. Also, with its control register architecture, alteration of memory contents only occurs after
successful completion of the two-step command sequences. Power supply sequencing is not required.
Internal circuitry of the 28F010 ensures that the
command register architecture is reset to the read
mode on power up.
A system designer must guard against active writes

28F010 Power Dissipation
When designing portable systems, designers must
consider battery power consumption not only during
device operation, but also for data retention during
system idle time. Flash nonvolatility increases the
usable battery life of your system because the
28F010 does not consume any power to retain code
or data when the system is off. Table 4 illustrates the
power dissipated when updating the 28F010.

NOTES:
1. Read timing characteristics during read/write operations are the same as during read-only operations. Refer to AC Characteristics for Read-Only Operations.
2. Chip-Enable Controlled Writes: Write operations are driven by the valid combination of Chip-Enable and Write-Enable. In
systems where Chip-Enable defines the write pulse width (within a longer Write-Enable timing waveform) all set-up, hold, and
inactive Write-Enable times should be measured relative to the Chip-Enable waveform.
3. Rise/Fall time
4. The internal stop timer terminates the programming/erase operations, thereby eliminating the need for a maximum specification.
