1.0 PRODUCT FAMILY OVERVIEW
This datasheet contains the specifications for the automotive version of the 28F200BR family of boot block flash memory devices.
This device continues to offer the same functionality as earl ier “BX” devices but adds the
capability of performing program and erase operations with a 5V or 12V V
PP
. The A28F200BR automatically senses which voltage is applied to the V
PP
pin and adjusts its operation accordingly.
1.1 New Features in the
SmartVoltage Products
The new SmartVoltage boot block flash memory family offers identical operation as the current BX/BL 12V program products, except for the differences listed below. All other functions are equivalent to current products, including signatures, write commands, and pinouts.
WP# pin has replaced a DU pin. See Table 1
for details.
5V program/erase operation has been added
that uses proven program and erase techniques with 5V ± 10% applied to V
PP
.
If you are designing with exi st ing BX 12V VPP boot block products today, you should provide the capability in your board design to upgrade to these new SmartVoltage products.
Follow these guidelines to ensure compatibilty:
1. Connect WP# (DU on existing product s) to a
control signal, V
CC
or GND.
2. If adding a switch on V
PP
for write protection,
switch to GND for complete write protection.
3. Allow for connecting 5V t o V
PP
instead of 12V,
if desired.
1.2 Main Features
Intel’s SmartVolt age technology prov ides the mos t flexible voltage solution in the industry. SmartVoltage provides t wo disc rete v olt age supply pins, V
CC
for read operation, and VPP for program and erase operation. Discrete supply pins allow system designers to use the optimal volt age level s for their design. For program and erase
operations, 5V V
PP
operation eliminates the need
for in system voltage converters, while 12V V
PP
operation provides faster program and erase for situations where 12V is available, such as manufacturing or designs where 12V is already available.
The 28F200 boot block flash memory family is a very high-performance, 2-Mbit (2,097, 152 bit ) flas h memory family organized as either 256 Kwords (131,072 words) of 16 bits each or 512 Kbytes (262,144 bytes) of 8 bits each.
Separately erasable blocks, including a hardware­lockable boot block (16,384 by tes), two param eter blocks (8,192 Bytes each) and main blocks (one block of 98,304 bytes and one block of 131,072 bytes) define the boot block flash family architecture. See Figure 3 for memory maps. Eac h parameter block can be independently erased and programmed 10,000 times. Eac h main block can be erased 1,000 times.
The boot block is located at either the top (denoted by -T suffix) or the bottom (-B suf fix) of the address map in order to accommodate different microprocessor protocols for boot code location. The hardware-lockable boot block provides complete code security for the kernel code required for system initialization. Locking and unlocking of the boot block is controlled by WP# and/or RP# (see Section 3.4 for details).
The Command User Interface (CUI) s erves as the interface between the microprocessor or microcontroller and the internal operation of the boot block flash memory products. The internal Write State Machine (WSM) automatically executes the algorithms and ti mings necess ary f or program and erase operations, including verifications, thereby unburdening the microprocessor or microcontroller of these tasks. The Status Register (SR) indicates the status of the WSM and whether it successfully completed the desired program or erase operation.
Program and erase automation allows program and erase operations to be executed using an industry-standard two-write c ommand sequenc e to the CUI. Data writes are perf ormed in word or by te increments. Each byte or word in the flash memory can be programmed independently of other memory locations, unlike erases, which erase all locations within a block simultaneously.
The 4-Mbit SmartVoltage boot block f lash memory family is also designed with an A utomatic Power

ADVANCE INFORMATION
Savings (APS) feature which minimizes system battery current drain, allowing for v ery low power designs. To provide even greater power savings, the boot block family includes a deep power-down mode which minimizes power consumption by
turning most of the flash memory’s circuitry off. This mode is controlled by the RP# pin and its usage is discussed in Section 3.5, along with other power consumption issues.
Additionally, the RP# pin provides protection against unwanted command writes due to invalid system bus conditions that may occur during system reset and power-up/down sequences. Also, when the flash memory powers-up, it automatically default s to the read array mode, but during a warm system reset, where power continues uniterrupted to the system components, the flash memory could remain in a non-read mode, such as erase. Consequently, the system Reset pin should be tied to RP# to reset the memory to normal read mode upon activation of the Reset pin.
The byte-wide or word-wide input/output is controlled by the BYTE# pin. See Table 1 for a detailed description of BYTE# operations, especially the usage of the DQ
15/A-1
pin.
The 28F200 products are available in a ROM/EPROM-compatible pinout and housed in the 44-lead PSOP (Plastic Small Outline) package.
Refer to the DC Characteristics Table, Sect ion 5.2 for complete current and voltage specifications. Refer to the AC Characteristics Table, Section
5.3, for read, program and erase performance specifications.
1.3 Applications
The 2-Mbit boot block flash memory family combines high-density, low-power, high­performance, cost-effective flash memories with blocking and hardware protection capabilities. Their flexibility and versatility reduce costs throughout the product lif e cycle. Flash memory is ideal for Just-In-Time production flow, reducing system inventory and costs, and eliminating component handling during the production phase.
When the product is in the end-user’s hands, and updates or feature enhancements become necessary or mandatory, f lash memory el iminates the need to replace an assembl y. The update can be performed as part of routine maintenance operation by relatively unsophisticated technicians.
The reliability of such a field upgrade is enhanced by a hardware-protected 16-Kbyte boot block. If the protection methods are implemented in the circuit design, the boot block will be unchangeable. Locating the boot-st rap code i n t his area assures a fail-safe rec overy from an update operation that failed to complete correctly.
The two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks allow modification of control algorithms to reflect changes in the process or device being c ontrolled. A variety of software algorithms allow these two blocks to behave like a standard EEPROM.
Intel’s boot block architecture provides a flexible voltage solution for the di fferent design needs of various applications. The asymmetrically-blocked memory map allows the integration of several memory components into a single flash device. The boot block provides a s ecure boot PROM ; t he parameter blocks can emulate EEPROM functionality for parameter store with proper software techniques; and t he main blocks provide code and data storage with access times fast enough to execute code in plac e, decreas ing RAM requirements.
1.4 Pinouts
Intel’s SmartVoltage boot block architecture provides upgrade paths in every pac kage pinout to the 8-Mbit density. The 28F200 44-lead PSOP pinout follows the indust ry standard ROM/EPROM pinout as shown in Figure 2.
Pinouts for the corresponding 4-Mbit and 8-Mbit components are also provided for convenient reference. 2-Mbit pinouts are given on the chip illustration in the center, with 2-Mbit and 8-Mbit pinouts going outward from the center.

Outputs array, Intelligent Identifier and Status Register data. The data pins float to tri-state when the chip is de-selected or the outputs are disabled.
DQ8-DQ15INPUT/OUTPUT DATA INPUTS/OUTPUTS: Inputs array data on the second CE# and

-DQ7.
CE# INPUT CHIP ENABLE: Activates the device’s control logic, input buffers,
decoders and sense amplifiers. CE# is active low. CE# high de-selects the memory device and reduces power consumption to standby levels. If CE# and RP# are high, but not at a CMOS high level, the standby current will increase due to current flow through the CE# and RP# input stages.
OE# INPUT OUTPUT ENABLE: Enables the device’s outputs through the data buffers
during a read cycle. OE# is active low.
WE# INPUT WRITE ENABLE: Controls writes to the Command Register and array
blocks. WE# is active low. Addresses and data are latched on the rising edge of the WE# pulse.
RP# INPUT RESET/DEEP POWER-DOWN: Uses three voltage levels (VIL, VIH, and
V
HH
) to control two different functions: reset/deep power-down mode and
boot block unlocking. It is backwards-compatible with the 28F200BX/BL.
When RP# is at logic low, the device is in reset/deep power-down mode, which puts the outputs at High-Z, resets the Write State Machine,
and draws minimum current. When RP# is at logic high, the device is in standard operation. When
RP# transitions from logic-low to logic-high, the device defaults to the read array mode.
When RP# is at V
HH
, the boot block is unlocked and can be
programmed or erased. This overides any control from the WP# input.

Symbol Type Name and Function
WP# INPUT WRITE PROTECT: Provides a method for unlocking the boot block in a
system without a 12V supply. When WP# is at logic low, the boot block is locked, preventing
program and erase operations to the boot block. If a program or erase operation is attempted on the boot block when WP# is low, the corresponding status bit (bit 4 for program, bit 5 for erase) will be set in the Status Register to indicate the operation failed.
When WP# is at logic high, the boot block is unlocked and can be programmed or erased.
NOTE: This feature is overridden and the boot block unlocked when RP# is at V
HH
. See Section 3.4 for details on write protection.
BYTE# INPUT BYTE# ENABLE: Controls whether the device operates in the byte-wide
(x8) mode or the word (x16) mode. The BYTE# input must be controlled at CMOS levels to meet the CMOS current specification in the standby mode.
When BYTE# is at logic low, the byte-wide mode is enabled. A 19-bit address is applied on A

2.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTON
2.1 Memory Blocking Organization
This product family features an asymmetrically­blocked architecture enhancing system memory integration. Each block can be erased independently of the others up to 10, 000 t imes . The block sizes have been chosen to optimize their functionality for common appli cations of nonvolatile storage. For the address locations of the blocks, see the memory maps in Figure 3.
2.1.1 ONE 16-KB BOOT BLOCK
The boot block is intended to repl ace a dedicated boot PROM in a microprocess or or microcontroller­based system. The 16-Kbyte (16,384 bytes) boot block is located at either the top (denoted by -T suffix) or the bottom (-B suffix) of the address m ap to accommodate different microproces sor protocols for boot code location. This boot block features hardware controllable write-protection to protec t the crucial microprocessor boot code from accidental erasure. The protection of the boot block is controlled using a combinati on of the V
PP
, RP#, and
WP# pins, as is detailed in Table 8.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
2.1.2 TWO 8-KB PARAMETER BLOCKS
The boot block architecture includes parameter blocks to facilitate storage of frequently updated small parameters that would normally require an EEPROM. By using software techniques, the by te­rewrite functionality of EEPROMs can be emulated.
These techniques are detailed in Intel’s AP-604, “Using Intel’s Boot B lock Flash Memory Parameter Blocks to Replace EEPROM.” Each boot block component contains two paramet er blocks of eight Kbytes (8,192 bytes) each. The parameter blocks are not write-protectable.
2.1.3 ONE 96-KB + THREE 128-KB MAIN BLOCKS
After the allocation of address space to the boot and parameter blocks, the remainder is divided into main blocks for data or code storage. Each 2-Mbit device contains one 96-Kbyte (98,304 byte) block and one 128-Kbyte (131,072 byte) block. See the memory maps for each device for more information.
3.0 PRODUCT FAMILY PRINCIPLES
OF OPERATION
Flash memory augments EPROM funct ionality with in-circuit electrical program and erase. The boot block flash family utilizes a Command User
Interface (CUI and automated algori thms to simpli fy program and erase operations. The CUI allows for 100% TTL-level control inputs, f ixed power s upplies during erasure and programming, and maximum EPROM compatibility.
When V
PP
< V
PPLK
, the device will only successfully execute the following commands: Read Array, Read Status Register, Clear Status Register and intelligent identifier mode. The device provides standard EPROM read, standby and output disable operations. Manufacturer identification and device Identification data c an be accessed through the CUI or through the standard EPROM A
9
high voltage
access (V
ID
) for PROM programming equipment.
The same EPROM read, standby and output disable functions are avai lable when 5V or 12V is applied to the V
PP
pin. In addition, 5V or 12V on
V
PP
allows program and erase of the device. All functions associ ated wit h alt ering mem ory c ontent s: Program and Erase, Intelligent Identifier Read, and Read Status are accessed via the CUI.
The purpose of the Write State Machine (WS M) is to completely automate the programming and erasure of the device. The WSM will begin operation upon receipt of a signal from the CUI and will report status back through a Status Register. The CUI will handle the WE# interface to the data and address latches, as well as system software requests for status while the WSM is in operation.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
3.1 Bus Operations
Flash memory reads, erases and programs in­system via the local CPU. All bus cycles to or from the flash memory conform to standard microprocessor bus cycles. These bus operations are summarized in Tables 2 and 3.
3.2 Read Operations
The boot block flash device has three user read modes: array, intelligent identifier, and status register. Status register read mode will be discussed, in detail, in Section 3.3.2.
3.2.1 READ ARRAY
When RP# transitions from V
IL
(reset) to VIH, the device will be in the read array mode and will respond to the read control inputs (CE#, address inputs, and OE#) without any commands being written to the CUI.
When the device is in the read array mode, five control signals must be cont rolled to obtain data at the outputs.
WE# must be logic high (V
IH
)
CE# must be logic low (V
IL
)
OE must be logic low (V
IL
)
RP# must be logic high (V
IH
)
BYTE# must be logic high or logic low. In addition, the address of the desired l ocat ion mus t
be applied to the address pins. Ref er to Figures 10 and 11 for the exact sequence and ti ming of these signals.
If the device is not i n read array mode, as would be the case after a program or erase operation, the Read Mode command (FFH) must be written to t he CUI before reads can take place.
3.2.1.1 Output Control
With OE# at logic-high level (V
IH
), the output from the device is disabled and data Input/Output pins (DQ[0:15] or DQ[0:7]) are tri-stated.
3.2.1.2 Input Control
With WE# at logic-high level (V
IH
), input to the
device is disabled.
3.2.2 INTELLIGENT IDENTIFIERS
The intelligent identifiers of the SmartVoltage boot block components are identical to the boot block products that operate only at 12V V
PP
. The manufacturer and device codes are read via the CUI or by taking the A
9
pin to VID. Writing 90H to the CUI places the devic e into intelligent identifier read mode. In this mode, A
0
= 0 outputs the
manufacturer’s identification code and A
0
= 1 outputs the device code. When BYTE # is at a logic low, only the lower byte of the abov e signatures is read and DQ
15/A-1
is a “don’t care” during intelligent identifier mode. See the table below for product signatures. A Read Array c ommand m ust be writt en to the memory to return to the read array mode.

3.3 Write Operations
3.3.1 COMMAND USER INTERFACE (CUI)
The Command User Interface (CUI) s erves as the interface between the microprocessor and the internal chip controller. Commands are written to the CUI using standard microprocessor write timings. The available c ommands are Read Array, Read Intelligent Identifier, Read Status Register, Clear Status Register, Program and Erase (summarized in Tables 5 and 6). For Read commands, the CUI points the read path at either the array, the intelligent identifier, or the Status Register depending on the command receiv ed. For Program or Erase commands, t he CUI informs the Write State Machine (WSM) that a program or erase has been requested. During the execution of a Program command, the WSM will control the programming sequences and the CUI will only respond to status reads. Duri ng an erase cycle, the
Page 13
E A28F200BR
13
ADVANCE INFORMATION
CUI will respond to status reads and erase suspend. After the WSM has completed its task , it will set the WSM Status bit to a “1,” which will also
allow the CUI to respond to it s full command set. Note that after the WSM has returned control to the CUI, the CUI will stay in the current command stat e until it receives another command.
3.3.1.1 Command Function Description
Device operations are selected by writing specific commands into the CUI. Table 5 defines the available commands.
Table 5. Command Set Codes and
Corresponding Device Mode
Command Codes Device Mode

D0 Erase Resume/Erase
Confirm
FF Read Array
Invalid/Reserved
These are unassigned commands and should not be used. Intel reserves the right to redefi ne these codes for future functions.
Read Array (FFH)
This single write cycle command points the read path at the array. If the host CPU performs a CE#/OE#-controlled Read immediately following a two-write sequence that st arted the WSM, then the device will output Status Register contents. If the
Read Array command is given after the Erase Setup command, the device will res et to read the array. A two Read Array c ommand sequenc e (FFH) is required to reset to Read Array after t he Program Setup command.
Intelligent Identifier (90H)
After this command is exec uted, the CUI points the output path to the intelligent identifier circuits . Only intelligent identifier values at addresses 0 and 1 can be read (only address A
0
is used in this mode, all
other address inputs are ignored).
Read Status Register (70H)
This is one of the two comm ands that i s ex ecutable while the WSM is operating. After t his command is written, a read of the device will output the c ontents of the Status Register, regardless of the address presented to the device.
The device automatically enters this mode after program or erase has completed.
Clear Status Register (50H)
The WSM can only set the Program Status and Erase Status bits in the Status Register to “1,” it cannot clear them to “0.”
Two reasons exist for operating the Status Register in this fashion. The first is synchronization. Since the WSM does not know when the hos t CPU has read the Status Register, it would not k now when to clear the status bits. Secondly, if the CPU is programming a string of bytes, it may be more efficient to query the Status Register after programming the string. Thus, if any errors exist while programming the string, the Status Register will return the accumulated error status.
Program Setup (40H or 10H)
This command simply sets the CUI into a state such that the next write will load the Address and Data registers. After this c ommand is ex ecuted, the outputs default to the Status Register. A two Read Array command sequence (FFH) is required to reset to Read Array after the Program Setup command.

Program
The second write after the Program Setup command, will latch addresses and data. A lso, the CUI initiates the WSM to begin execution of the program algorithm. The device outputs Status Register data when OE# is enabled. A Read Array command is required after programming, to read array data.
Erase Setup (20H)
Prepares the CUI for the Eras e Confirm comm and. No other action is taken. I f t he next com mand is not an Erase Confirm command, then the CUI will set both the Program Status and Eras e Status bits of the Status Register t o a “1,” place the device into the Read Status Register s tate, and wait for another command.
Page 15
E A28F200BR
15
ADVANCE INFORMATION
Erase Confirm (D0H)
If the previous command was an Erase Setup command, then the CUI will enable the WSM to erase, at the same time closing the address and data latches, and respond only to t he Read Status Register and Erase Suspend commands . While the WSM is executing, the device will output Status Register data when OE# is toggled low. Status Register data can only be updated by toggling either OE# or CE# low.
Erase Suspend (B0H)
This command is only valid while the WSM is executing an erase operation, and therefore will only be responded to during an erase operation. After this command has been executed, the CUI will set an output that directs the WSM to suspend erase operations, and then respond only to Read Status Register or to the Erase Resume commands. Once the WSM has reached the Suspend state, it will set an output into the CUI which allows the CUI to respond to the Read Array, Read Status Register, and Erase Resume commands. In this mode, the CUI will not respond to any other commands. The WSM will als o set the WSM Status bit to a “1. ” The WSM will continue to
run, idling in the SUSPEND s tate, regardles s of the state of all input control pins except RP #, which will immediately shut down the WSM and the rem ainder of the chip, if it is made activ e. During a suspend operation, the data and address latc hes will remain closed, but the address pads are able to drive the address into the read path.
Erase Resume (D0H)
This command will cause the CUI to clear the Suspend state and clear the WSM Status Bi t to a “0,” but only if an Erase Suspend command was previously issued. Erase Resume will not have any effect under any other conditions.
3.3.2 STATUS REGISTER
The device contains a Status Register which may be read to determine when a program or erase operation is complete, and whether that operation completed successfully. The Status Register may be read at any time by writing the Read Status
command to the CUI. Aft er writing this command, all subsequent read operations output data from t he Status Register until another command is written to the CUI. A Read Array command must be written t o the CUI to return to the read array mode.
The Status Register bits are output on DQ[0:7], whether the device is in the by te-wide (x8) or word­wide (x16) mode. In the word-wide mode t he upper byte, DQ[8:15], is set to 00H during a Read Stat us command. In the byte-wide mode, DQ[ 8:14] are tri­stated and DQ
15/A-1
retains the low order address
function.
Important: The contents of the Status Register are latched on the falling edge of OE# or CE#, whichever occurs last in the read cycle. This
prevents possible bus errors which might occur if the contents of the Status Register change while reading the Status Register. CE# or OE# must be toggled with each subsequent status read, or the completion of a program or erase operation will not be evident from the Status Register.
When the WSM is active, this regist er will indicate the status of the WSM, and will also hold the bits indicating whether or not the WSM was suc cessful in performing the desired operation.
3.3.2.1 Clearing the Status Register
The WSM sets status bits “3” through “7” t o “1,” and clears bits “6” and “7” to “0,” but cannot clear status bits “3” through “5” to “0.” Bits 3 through 5 can only be cleared by the controlling CPU through the use of the Clear Status Regist er command. These bits can indicate various error conditions. By allowing the system software to control the resetting of these bits, several operations may be performed (s uch as cumulatively programmi ng several bytes or erasing multiple blocks in sequence). The Status Register may then be read to determine if an error occurred during that programming or erasure series. This adds flexibility to the way the device may be programmed or erased. To clear the Status Register, the Clear Status Register command is written to the CUI. Then, any other command may be issued to the CUI. Note, again, that before a read cycle can be initiated, a Read Array command must be written to the CUI to specif y whether the read data is to come from the M em ory Array, Status Register, or Intelligent Identifier.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
3.3.3 PROGRAM MODE
Programing is executed using a two-write sequence. The Program Setup command is writ ten to the CUI followed by a second write which specifies the address and data to be programmed. The WSM will execute a sequence of internally timed events to:
1. Program the desired bits of the addressed memory word or byte.
2. Verify that the desired bits are sufficiently programmed.
Programming of the memory resul ts in spec ific bits within a byte or word being changed to a “0.”
If the user attempts to program “1”s, there will be no change of the memory cell content and no error occurs.
Similar to erasure, the Status Register indicates whether programming is complete. While the program sequence is executing, bit 7 of the Stat us Register is a “0.” The Status Regis ter c an be polled by toggling either CE# or OE# to determine when the program sequence is complet e. Only the Read Status Register command is valid while programming is active.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
When programming is complete, the status bits, which indicate whether the program operation was successful, s hould be checked. If bit 3 is set to a
“1,” then V
PP
was not within accept able limits, and the WSM did not execute the programming sequence. If the program operation fails, Bit 4 of the Status Register will be set within 3.3 ms as determined by the timeout of the WSM.
The Status Register should be cleared before attempting the next operati on. Any CUI instruction can follow after programming is completed; however, reads from the Memory Array, Status Register, or Intelligent Identifier cannot be accomplished until the CUI is given t he Read Array command.
3.3.4 ERASE MODE
Erasure of a single block i s initiated by writi ng the Erase Setup and Erase Confirm c ommands to the CUI, along with the addresses identif ying the block to be erased. These addresses are latched internally when the Erase Confirm command is issued. Block erasure results in all bits within the block being set to “1.”
The WSM will execute a sequence of internally timed events to:
1. Program all bits within the block to “0.”
2. Verify that all bits within the block are
sufficiently programmed to “0.”
3. Erase all bits within the block.
4. Verify that all bits within the block are
sufficiently erased.
While the erase sequence is executing, bit 7 of the Status Register is a “0.”
When the Status Register indi cates that erasure is complete, the status bits, which indicate whether the erase operation was successful, should be checked. If the erase operation was unsuccessful , bit 5 of the Status Register will be set to a “1,” indicating an Erase Failure. If V
PP
was not within
acceptable limits af ter the E rase Confirm command is issued, the WSM will not execute an erase sequence; instead, bit 5 of the Status Register is set to a “1” to indicate an Eras e Failure, and bi t 3 is set to a “1” to identify that V
PP
supply voltage was
not within acceptable limits. The Status Register should be cleared before
attempting the next operati on. Any CUI instruction can follow after erasure is completed; however, reads from the Memory Array, Status Register, or Intelligent Identifier cannot be accomplished until the CUI is given the Read Array command.
3.3.4.1 Suspending and Resuming Erase
Since an erase operation requires on the order of seconds to complete, an Erase Suspend c ommand is provided to allow erase-s equence interruption in order to read data from another block of the memory. Once the erase sequence is started, writing the Erase Suspend command to the CUI requests that the WSM paus e the erase sequence at a pre-determined point in the erase algorithm. The Status Register must then be read to determine if the erase operation has been suspended.
At this point, a Read Array com mand c an be writ ten to the CUI in order to read data from blocks other than that which is being suspended. The only other valid command at this time is the Erase Resume command or Read Status Register command.
During erase suspend mode, the chip c an go into a pseudo-standby mode by taki ng CE# to V
IH
, which
reduces active current draw. To resume the erase operation, the chip must be
enabled by taking CE# to V
IL
, then issuing the Erase Resume command. When the E rase Resume command is given, the WSM will continue with the erase sequence and complete erasing the block. As with the end of a standard erase operation, the Status Register must be read, c leared, and t he next instruction issued in order to continue.

3.4 Boot Block Locking
The boot block family architecture features a hardware-lockable boot block so that the kernel code for the system can be kept secure while the parameter and main blocks are programmed and erased independently as necessary. Only the boot block can be locked independently from the other blocks.

When WP# = V

3.5 Power Consumption
3.5.1 ACTIVE POWER
With CE# at a logic-low level and RP# at a logic­high level, the device is placed in the active mode. Refer to the DC Characterist ics t able for I
CC
current
values.
3.5.2 AUTOMATIC POWER SAVINGS (APS)
Automatic Power Savings (APS) is a low-power feature during active mode of operation. The boot block flash memory family incorporates Power
Reduction Control (PRC) circuitry which allows the device to put itself int o a low current st ate when i t is not being accessed. After data is read from the
memory array, PRC logic controls the device’s power consumption by entering the APS mode where typical I
CC
current is less than 1 mA. The device stays in this static state with outputs valid until a new location is read.
3.5.3 STANDBY POWER
With CE# at logic-high level (V
IH
), and the CUI in read mode, the memory is plac ed in st andby m ode. The standby operation disables much of the device’s circuitry and substantially reduces device power consumption. The outputs (DQ[0:15] or DQ[0:7]) are placed in a high-impedance state independent of the status of the OE# si gnal. When CE# is at logic-high level during erase or program functions, the devices will c ontinue to perform the erase or program function and consume erase or program active power until erase or program is completed.
3.5.4 DEEP POWER-DOWN MODE
The SmartVoltage boot block family s upports a low typical I
CC
in deep power-down mode. The device has a RP# pin which places the device in the deep power-down mode. When RP# is at a logic-low (GND ± 0.2V), all circuits are turned off in order t o save power. (Note: BYTE# pi n must be at CMOS levels to achieve the most deep power-down current savings.)
During read modes, the RP# pin going low de­selects the memory and pl aces the out put driv ers in a high impedance state. Recovery from the deep power-down state, requires a mi nimum access ti me of t
PHQV
. (See the AC Characteristics table for
specification numbers.) During erase or program modes, RP# low will abort
either erase or program operation. The contents of the memory are no longer valid as the data has been corrupted by the RP# functi on. As in the read mode above, all internal circuitry is turned off to achieve the power savings.
RP# transitions to V
IL
, or turning power off to the
device will clear the Status Register.
Page 22
A28F200BR E

ADVANCE INFORMATION
3.6 Power-Up Operation
The device is designed to offer protection against accidental block erasure or programming during power transitions. Upon power-up, the device is indifferent as to which power supply, V
PP
or VCC, powers-up first. Power supply sequencing is not required.
A system designer must guard against spurious programming for V
CC
voltages above V
LKO
when
V
PP
is active. Since both WE# and CE# must be
low for a command write, drivi ng ei ther si gnal to V
IH
will inhibit writes to the device. The CUI arc hitec ture provides an added level of protection since alteration of memory contents c an only occur after successful completion of the two-step command sequences. Finally the dev ice is disabled unti l RP# is brought to V
IH
, regardless of the state of its control inputs. By hol ding the device in reset (RP # connected to system PowerGood) during power up/down, invalid bus condit ions that may oc cur can be masked. This feature provides yet another level of memory protection.
3.6.1 RP# CONNECTED TO SYSTEM
RESET
The use of RP# during system reset is important with automated program/erase devices. When the system comes out of reset it expects to read from the flash memory. Automated flash memories provide status information when accessed during program/erase modes. If a CPU reset oc curs with no flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization would not occur because the flash memory would be providing the status inf ormation instead of array
data. Intel’s Flash memories allow proper CPU initialization following a system reset through the use of the RP# input. In this application RP# is controlled by the same RESET# signal that resets the system CPU.
3.7 Power Supply Decoupling
Flash memory’s power switching characteristics require careful device decoupling methods. System designers should consider three supply current issues:
1. Standby current levels (I
CCS
)
2. Active current levels (I
CCR

3. Transient peaks produced by falling and rising edges of CE#.
Transient current magnitudes depend on t he devi ce outputs’ capacitiv e and inductive loading. Two-line control and proper decoupling capacitor selection will suppress these transient voltage peaks. Each flash device should have a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor connected between eac h V
CC
and GND,
and between its V
PP
and GND. These high frequency, inherently low inductance capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the package leads.
3.7.1 V
PP
TRACE ON PRINTED CIRCUIT
BOARDS
Writing to flash memories while they res ide in the target system, requires special consideration of the V
PP
power supply trace by the printed c ircuit board
designer. The V
PP
pin supplies the flash memory cells current for programming and erasing. One should use similar trace widths and layout considerations given to t he V
CC
power supply trace.
Adequate V
PP
supply traces, and decoupling capacitors placed adjacent to the component, will decrease spikes and overshoots.
3.7.2 V
CC
, VPP AND RP# TRANSITIONS
The CUI latches commands as issued by system software and is not altered by V
PP
or CE# transitions or WSM actions. Its default state upon power-up, after exit from deep power-down mode, or after V
CC
transitions above V
LKO
(Lockout
voltage), is read array mode. After any word/byte program or block erase
operation is complete and even after V
PP
transitions
down to V
PPLK
, the CUI must be reset to read array mode via the Read Array command when accesses to the flash memory are desired.

NOTICE: This datasheet contains information on products in the sampling and initial production phases of development. The specifications are subject to change without notice. Verify with your local Intel Sales office that you have the latest datasheet before finalizing a design
* WARNING: Stressing the device beyond the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage. These are stress ratings only. Operation beyond the "Operating Conditions" is not recommended and extended exposure beyond the "Operating Conditions" may effect device reliability.
NOTES:
1. Minimum DC voltage is -0.5V on input/output pins.
During transitions, this level may undershoot to -2.0V for periods <20 ns. Maximum DC voltage on input/output pins is V
CC
+ 0.5V which, during transitions, may overshoot to
V
CC
+ 2.0V for periods <20 ns.
2. Maximum DC voltage on V
PP
may overshoot to +14.0V
for periods <20ns. Maximum DC voltage on RP# or A
9
may overshoot to 13.5V for periods <20 ns.
3. Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.

VCC Supply Voltage (10%) 4.50 5.50 Volts
5.1 Applying VCC Voltages
If the VCC ramp rate is greater than 0.01 V/µs, a delay of 2 µs is required before any device operation can be initiated. This includes array or status read, command writ es and program or erase operations. The 2 µs are measure beginning f rom the time V
CC
reaches V
CCMIN
(4.5V). This delay is
not tied to the operation of the reset input. It is recommended that the device be held in reset (RP# = GND) while V
CC
is less than V
CCMIN
.
If the V
CC
ramp rate is less than 0.01 V /µs, no delay
is required once V
CC
has reached V
CCMIN
.
VCC Ramp Rate Required Timing
1V/100 µs No delay required. > 1V/100 µs A delay time of 2 µs is required before any device operation is initiated, including read
operations, command writes, program operations, and erase operations. This delay
is
measured beginning from the time V
CC
reaches V
CCMIN
(4.5V for 5V operation).
NOTES:
1. These requirements must be strictly followed to guarantee all other read and write specifications.
2. Any time the V
CC
supply drops below V
CCMIN
, the chip may be reset, aborting any operations pending or in progress.
3. These guidelines must be followed for any V
CC
transition from GND.
