General Description
The ACT–F128K32 is a high
speed, 4 megabit CMOS flash
multichip module (MCM)
designed for full temperature
range military, space, or high
reliability applications.
The MCM can be organized
as a 128K x 32 bits, 256K x 16
bits or 512K x 8 bits device and
is input TTL and output CMOS
compatible. The command
register is written by bringing
to a logic low level (VIL),

PGA or a 68 lead, .88" sq Ceramic Gull
Wing CQFP package for operation over the
temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and
military environment.
Each flash memory die is organized as
128KX8 bits and is designed to be
programmed in-system with the standard
system 5.0V Vcc supply. A 12.0V V
PP is
not required for write or erase operations.
The MCM can also be reprogrammed with
standard EPROM programmers (with the
proper socket).
The standard ACT-F128K32 offers
access times between 60ns and 150ns,
allowing operation of high-speed
microprocessors without wait states. To
eliminate bus contention, the device has
separate chip enable (CE
). The ACT-F128K32 is command set
(WE
) and write enable
compatible with JEDEC standard 1 Mbit
EEPROMs. Commands are written to the
command 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 needed
for the programming and erase operations.
Reading data out of the device is similar
to reading from 12.0V Flash or EPROM
devices. The ACT-F128K32 is programmed
by executing the program command
sequence. This will invoke the Embedded
Program Algorithm which is an internal
algorithm that automatically times the
program pulse widths and verifies proper
cell margin. Typically, each sector can be
programmed and verified in less than 0.3
second. Erase is accomplished by
executing the erase command sequence.
This will invoke the Embedded Erase
Algorithm which is an internal algorithm
that automatically preprograms the array, (if
it is not already programmed before)
executing the erase operation. During
erase, the device automatically times the
erase pulse widths and verifies proper cell
margin.
Each die in the module or any individual
sector of the die is typically erased and
verified in 1.3 seconds (if already
completely preprogrammed).
Each die also features a sector erase
architecture. The sector mode allows for
16K byte blocks of memory to be erased
and reprogrammed without affecting other
blocks. The ACT-F128K32 is erased when
shipped from the factory.
The device features single 5.0V power
supply operation for both read and write
functions. lnternally generated and
regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations. A low V
CC
detector automatically inhibits write
operations on the loss of power. The end of
program or erase is detected by Data
Polling of D7 or by the Toggle Bit feature on
D6. Once the end of a program or erase
cycle has been completed,-+ the device
internally resets to the read mode.
All bits of each die, or all bits within a
sector of a die, are erased via
Fowler-Nordhiem tunneling. Bytes are
programmed one byte at a time by hot
electron injection.

Device Operation
The ACT-F128K32 MCM is composed of four, one
megabit flash EEPROMs. The following description is for
the individual flash EEPROM device, is applicable to
each of the four memory chips inside the MCM. Chip 1 is
distinguished by CE
8-15, Chip 3 by CE3 and I/016-23, and Chip 4 by CE4 and
I/0
24-31.
I/0
1 and I/O1-7, Chip 2 by CE2 and
Programming of the ACT-F128K32 is accomplished by
executing the program command sequence. The
program algorithm, which is an internal algorithm,
automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell status. Sectors can be programed and
verified in less than 0.3 second. Erase is accomplished
by executing the erase command sequence. The erase
algorithm, which is internal, automatically preprograms
the array if it is not already programed before executing
the erase operation. During erase, the device
automatically times the erase pulse widths and verifies
proper cell status. The entire memory is typically erased
and verified in 3 seconds (ifpre-programmed). The
sector mode allows for 16K byte blocks of memory to be
erased and reprogrammed without affecting other blocks.
Bus Operation
current consumed is typically less than 400 µA; and a
TTL standby mode (CE
is held VIH) is approximately 1
mA. In the standby mode the outputs are in a high
impedance state, independent of the OE
input.
If the device is deselected during erasure or
programming, the device will draw active current until the
operation is completed.
WRITE
Device erasure and programming are accomplished via
the command register. The contents of the register serve
as input to the internal state machine. The state machine
outputs dictate the function of the device.
The command register itself does not occupy an
addressable memory location. The register is a latch
used to store the command, along with address and data
information needed to execute the command. The
command register is written by bringing WE

The ACT-F128K32 has two control functions, both of
which must be logically active, to obtain data at the
outputs. Chip Enable (CE

should be used for device selection. Output-Enable (OE
is the output control and should be used to gate data to
the output pins of the chip selected. Figure 7 illustrates
AC read timing waveforms.
OUTPUT DISABLE
With Output-Enable at a logic high level (VIH), output from
the device is disabled. Output pins are placed in a high
impedance state.

Table 3 defines these register command sequences.
READ/RESET COMMAND
The read or reset operation is initiated by writing the
read/reset command sequence into the command
register. Microprocessor read cycles retrieve array data
from the memory. The device remains enabled for reads
until the command register contents are altered.
The device will automatically power-up in the read/reset
state. In this case, a command sequence is not required
to read data. Standard microprocessor read cycles will
retrieve array data. The device will automatically
power-up in the read/reset state. In this case, a command
sequence is not required to read data. Standard
Microprocessor read cycles will retrieve array data. This

Chip erase does not require the user to program the
device prior to erase. Upon executing the Embedded
Erase Algorithm command sequence (Figure 4) the
device will automatically program and verify the entire
memory for an all zero data pattem prior to electrical
erase. The erase is performed concurrently on all sectors
at the same time . The system is not required to provide
any controls or timings during these operations. Note:
Post Erase data state is all "1"s.

the programmed cell.
The automatic programming operation is completed
when the data on D
7 (also used as Data Polling) is
equivalent to data written to this bit at which time the
device returns to the read mode and addresses are no
longer latched. Therefore, the device requires that a valid
address be supplied by the system at this particular
instance of time for Data
Polling operations. Data Polling
must be performed at the memory location which is being
programmed.
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded
Program Algorithm will be ignored.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across
sector boundaries. Beware that a data "0" cannot be
programmed back to a “1". Attempting to do so may
cause the device to exceed programming time limits (D5
= 1) or result in an apparent success, according to the
data polling algorithm, but a read from reset/read mode
will show that the data is still “0". Only erase operations
can convert “0"s to “1"s.
Figure 3 illustrates the programming algorithm using
typical command strings and bus operations.
SECTOR ERASE
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. There are two
"unlock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the
"setup" command. Two more "unlock" write cycles are
then followed by the sector erase command. The sector
address (any address location within the desired sector)
is latched on the falling edge of WE
(30H) is latched on the rising edge of WE
time-out of 80µs from the rising edge of the last sector
erase command, the sector erase operation will begin.
Multiple sectors may be erased concurrently by writing
the six bus cycle operations as described above. This
sequence is followed with writes of the sector erase
command to addresses in other sectors desired to be
concurrently erased. The time between writes must be
less than 80µs otherwise that command will not be
accepted and erasure will start. It is recommended that
processor interrupts be disabled during this time to
guarantee this condition. The interrupts can be
re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is
written. A time-out of 80µs from the rising edge of the
last WE
will initiate the execution of the Sector Erase

within the 80µs time-out window the timer is reset.
(Monitor D3 to determine if the sector erase timer window
is still open, see section D3, Sector Erase Timer.) Any
commarid other than Sector Erase during this period will
reset the device to read mode, ignoring the previous
command string. In that case, restart the erase on those
sectors and allow them to complete.
Loading the sector erase buffer may be done in any
sequence and with any number of sectors (0 to 7).
Sector erase does not require the user to program the
device prior to erase. The device automatically programs
all memory locations in the sector(s) to be erased prior to
electrical erase. When erasing a sector or sectors the
remaining unselected sectors are not affected. The
system is not required to provide any controls or timings
during these operations. Post Erase data state is all "1"s.

Data Protection
The ACT-F128K32 is designed to offer protection against
accidental erasure or programming caused by spurious
system level singles that may exist during power
transitions. During power up the device automatically
resets the internal state machine in the read mode. Also,
with its control register architecture, alteration of the
memory content only occurs after successful completion
of specific multi-bus cycle command sequences.
The device also incorporates several features to prevent
inadvertent write cycles resulting from Vcc power-up and
power-down transitions or system noise.
LOGICAL INHIBIT
Writing is inhibited by holding anyone of OE = VIL, CE =
IH or WE = VIH. To initiate a write cycle CE and WE
V
must be logical zero while OE is a logical one.
POWER-UP WRITE INHIBIT
Power-up of the device with WE = CE = VILand OE = VIH
will not accept commands on the rising edge ofWE. The
internal state machine is automatically reset to the read
mode on power-up.

TOGGLE BIT
The ACT-F128K32 also features the "Toggle Bit" as a
method to indicate to the host system that algorithms are
in progress or completed.
During a program or erase algorithm cycle, successive
attempts to read data from the device will result in D
toggling between one and zero. Once the program or
erase algorithm cycle is completed, D
and valid data will be read on successive attempts.
During programming the Toggle Bit is valid after the rising
edge of the fourth WE
sequence. For chip erase the Toggle Bit is valid after the
rising edge of the sixth

SECTOR PROTECTION
The ACT-F128K32 features hardware sector protection
which will disable both program and erase operations to
an individual sector or any group of sectors. To activate
this mode, the programming equipment must force V
on control pin OE and address pin A9. The sector
addresses should be set using higher address lines A
15, and A14. The protection mechanism begins on the
A
falling edge of the WE
pulse and is terminated with the
rising edge of the same.
It is also possible to verify if a sector is protected during
the sector protection operation. This is done by setting
= OE = VIL and WE = VIH (A9 remains high at VID).

Reading the device at address location XXX2H, where
the higher order addresses (A16, A15 and A14) define a
particular sector, will produce 01H at data outputs D0 D7, for a protected sector.

After the completion of the initial sector erase command
sequence the sector erase time-out will
remain low until the time-out is complete. Data Polling

command sequence.
If Data
Polling or the Toggle Bit indicates the device has
been written with a valid erase command, D

open. If D
3 is high ("1") the internally controlled erase
cycle has begun; attempts to write subsequent
commands to the device will be ignored until the erase
operation is completed as indicated by Data
Toggle Bit. If D
3 is low ("0"), the device will accept
additional sector erase commands. To ensure the
command has been accepted, the software should check
the status of D

SECTOR UNPROTECT
The ACT-F128K32 also features a sector unprotect
mode, so that a protected sector may be unprotected to
incorporate any changes in the code. All sectors should
be protected prior to unprotecting any sector.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment must
force V
The address pins A
and A6 = VIL. The unprotection mechanism begins on
the falling edge of the WE
the rising edge of the same.
It is also possible to determine if a sector is unprotected
in the system by writing the autoselect command.
