The AS29LV400 is an 4 megabit, 3.0 volt Flash memory organized as 512Kbyte of 8 bits/256Kbytes of 16 bits each. For
flexible Erase and Program capability, the 4 megabits of data is divided into eleven sectors: one 16K, two 8K, one 32K, and
seven 64k byte sectors; or one 8K, two 4K, one 16K, and seven 32K word sectors. The ×8 data appears on DQ0–DQ7; the ×16
data appears on DQ0–DQ15. The AS29LV400 is offered in JEDEC standard 48-pin TSOP. A 44-pin SOP package may be offered
in the future. This device is designed to be programmed and erased with a single 3.0V V
reprogrammed in standard EPROM programmers.
The AS29LV400 offers access times of 70/80/90/120 ns, allowing 0-wait state operation of high speed microprocessors. To
eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip enable

, write enable (WE), and output enable (OE) controls. Word
(CE)
The AS29LV400 is fully compatible with the JEDEC single power supply Flash standard. The device uses standard
microprocessor write timings to send Write commands to the register. An internal state-machine uses register contents to
control the erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed for the Programming
and Erase operations. Data is read in the same manner as other Flash or EPROM devices. Use the Program command sequence
to invoke the on-chip programming algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths, and verifies proper cell
margin. Use the Erase command sequence to invoke the automated on-chip erase algorithm that preprograms the sector when
it is not already programmed before executing the erase operation. The Erase command also times the erase pulse widths and
verifies the proper cell margins.
Boot sector architecture enables the system to boot from either the top (AS29LV400T) or the bottom (AS29LV400B) sector.
Sector erase architecture allows specified sectors of memory to be erased and reprogrammed without altering data in other
sectors. A sector typically erases and verifies within 1.0 seconds. Hardware sector protection disables both the Program and the
Erase operations in all, or any combination of the eleven sectors. The device provides true background erase with Erase
Suspend, which puts erase operations on hold to either read data from, or program data to, a sector that is not being erased.
The Chip Erase command will automatically erase all unprotected sectors.
When shipped from the factory, AS29LV400 is fully erased (all bits = 1). The programming operation sets bits to 0. Data is
programmed into the array one byte at a time in any sequence and across sector boundaries. A sector must be erased to change
bits from 0 to 1. Erase returns all bytes in a sector to the erased state (all bits = 1). Each sector is erased individually with no
effect on other sectors.
The device features a single 3.0V power supply operation for Read, Write, and Erase functions. Internally generated and
regulated voltages are provided for the Program and Erase operations. A low V

end of the program or to erase operations. The device automatically resets to the Read mode after the Program or Erase
operations are completed. DQ2 indicates which sectors are being erased.
The AS29LV400 resists accidental erasure or spurious programming signals resulting from power transitions. The Control
register architecture permits alteration of memory contents only when successful completion of specific command sequences
has occured. During power up, the device is set to Read mode with all Program/Erase commands disabled if V

ItemDescription
The unlock bypass feature increases the speed at which the system programs bytes or words to the
device because it bypasses the first two unlock cycles of the standard program command sequence.
To initiate the unlock bypass command sequence, two unlock cycles must be written, then
followed by a third cycle which has the unlock bypass command, 20h.
The device then begins the unlock bypass mode. In order to program in this mode, a two cycle
Unlock Bypass
Command Sequence
unlock bypass program sequence is required. The first cycle has the unlock bypass program
command, A0h. It is followed by a second cycle which has the program address and data. To
program additional data, the same sequence must be followed.
The unlock bypass mode has two valid commands, the Unlock Bypass Program command and the
Unlock Bypass Reset command. The only way the system can exit the unlock bypass mode is by
issuing the unlock bypass reset command sequence. This sequence involves two cycles. The first
cycle contains the data, 90h. The second cycle contains the data 00h. Addresses are don’t care for
both cycles. The device then returns to reading array data.
Chip erase requires six bus cycles: two unlock write cycles; a setup command, two additional
unlock write cycles; and finally the Chip Erase command.

Chip Erase
Sector Erase
Chip erase does not require logical 0s to be written prior to erasure. When the automated on-chip
erase algorithm is invoked with the Chip Erase command sequence, AS29LV400 automatically
programs and verifies the entire memory array for an all-zero pattern prior to erase. The 29LV400
returns to read mode upon completion of chip erase unless DQ5 is set high as a result of exceeding
time limit.
Sector erase requires six bus cycles: two unlock write cycles, a setup command, two additional
unlock write cycles, and finally the Sector Erase command. Identify the sector to be erased by
addressing any location in the sector. The address is latched on the falling edge of WE
command, 30h is latched on the rising edge of W E
erase time-out.
To erase multiple sectors, write the Sector Erase command to each of the addresses of sectors to
erase after following the six bus cycle operation above. Timing between writes of additional sectors
must be less than the erase time-out period, or the AS29LV400 ignores the command and erasure
begins. During the time-out period any falling edge of W E
(other than Sector Erase or Erase Suspend) during time-out period resets the AS29LV400 to read
mode, and the device ignores the sector erase command string. Erase such ignored sectors by
restarting the Sector Erase command on the ignored sectors.
The entire array need not be written with 0s prior to erasure. AS29LV400 writes 0s to the entire
sector prior to electrical erase; writing of 0s affects only selected sectors, leaving non-selected
sectors unaffected. AS29LV400 requires no CPU control or timing signals during sector erase
operations.
Automatic sector erase begins after sector erase time-out from the last rising edge of WE
sector erase command stream and ends when the DATA
address must be performed on addresses that fall within the sectors being erased. AS29LV400

Erase Suspend allows interruption of sector erase operations to read data from or program data to a
sector not being erased. Erase suspend applies only during sector erase operations, including the
time-out period. Writing an Erase Suspend command during sector erase time-out results in
immediate termination of the time-out period and suspension of erase operation.
AS29LV400 ignores any commands during erase suspend other than Read/Reset, Program or Erase
Resume commands. Writing the Erase Resume Command continues erase operations. Addresses are

While in erase-suspend mode, AS29LV400 allows reading data (erase-suspend-read mode) from or
programming data (erase-suspend-program mode) to any sector not undergoing sector erase;
these operations are treated as standard read or standard programming mode. AS29LV400 defaults
to erase-suspend-read mode while an erase operation has been suspended.
Write the Resume command 30h to continue operation of sector erase. AS29LV400 ignores
redundant writes of the Resume command. AS29LV400 permits multiple suspend/resume
operations during sector erase.

Stresses greater than those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions outside those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.
