Functional description

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 mode (×16 output) is selected by BYT E
= high. Byte mode (×8 output) is selected by B Y TE = low.
, 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 operations during power transtitions. The

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 V

Item Description
Initiate read or reset operations by writing the Read/Reset command sequence into the command register. This allows the microprocessor to retrieve data from the memory. Device remains in read

mode until command register contents are altered.
Device automatically powers up in read/reset state. This feature allows only reads, therefore ensuring no spurious memory content alterations during power up.
AS29LV400 provides manufacturer and device codes in two ways. External PROM programmers typically access the device codes by driving +10V on A9. AS29LV400 also contains an ID Read command to read the device code with only +3V, since multiplexing +10V on address lines is generally undesirable.

ID Read
Hardware Reset
Byte/word Programming
Initiate device ID read by writing the ID Read command sequence into the command register. Follow with a read sequence from address XXX00h to return MFR code. Follow ID Read command sequence with a read sequence from address XXX01h to return device code.
To verify write protect status on sectors, read address XXX02h. Sector addresses A17–A12 produce a 1 on DQ0 for protected sector and a 0 for unprotected sector.
Exit from ID read mode with Read/Reset command sequence.
Holding RE SET handled in the operation is corrupted. The internal state machine resets 20 µs after RE SET driven low. RY/BY is a delay of 50 ns for the device to permit read operations.
Programming the AS29LV400 is a four bus cycle operation performed on a byte-by-byte or word­by-word basis. Two unlock write cycles precede the Program Setup command and program data write cycle. Upon execution of the program command, no additional CPU controls or timings are necessary. Addresses are latched on the falling edge of CE on the rising edge of C E algorithm provides adequate internally-generated programming pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin.
Check programming status by sampling data on the RY/BY or toggle bit (DQ6) at the program address location. The programming operation is complete if DQ7 returns equivalent data, if DQ6 = no toggle, or if RY/B Y

AS29LV400 allows programming in any sequence, across any sector boundary. Changing data from 0 to 1 requires an erase operation. Attempting to program data 0 to 1 results in either DQ5 = 1 (exceeded programming time limits); reading this data after a read/reset operation returns a 0. When programming time limit is exceeded, DQ5 reads high, and DQ6 continues to toggle. In this state, a Reset command returns the device to read mode.

Item Description
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 returns to read mode after sector erase unless DQ5 is set high by exceeding the time limit.

Item Description
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 Don’t Care when writing Erase Suspend or Erase Resume commands.
AS29LV400 takes 0.2–15 µs to suspend erase operations after receiving Erase Suspend command.

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.
When attempting to write to a protected sector, DATA for about <1 µs. When attempting to erase a protected sector, DATA Toggle Bit 1 (DQ6) are activated for about <5 µs. In both cases, the device returns to read mode without altering the specified sectors.

Active during automated on-chip algorithms or sector erase time outs. DQ6 toggles when CE OE
toggles, or an Erase Resume command is invoked. DQ6 is valid after the rising edge of the fourth pulse of W E erase; after the last rising edge of the sector erase WE DQ6 toggles for <1 µs during program mode writes, and <5 µs during erase (if all selected sectors are protected).
Indicates unsuccessful completion of program/erase operation (DQ5 = 1). DATA active. If DQ5 = 1 during chip erase, all or some sectors are defective; during byte programming or sector erase, the sector is defective (in this case, reset the device and execute a program or erase command sequence to continue working with functional sectors). Attempting to program 0 to 1 will set DQ5 = 1.

Sector erase timer (DQ3)
Toggle bit 2 (DQ2)
Checks whether sector erase timer window is open. If DQ3 = 1, erase is in progress; no commands will be accepted. If DQ3 = 0, the device will accept sector erase commands. Check DQ3 before and after each Sector Erase command to verify that the command was accepted.
During sector erase, DQ2 toggles with OE erased. During chip erase, DQ2 toggles with OE
or C E only during an attempt to read a sector being
or CE for all addresses. If DQ5 = 1, DQ2 toggles only at sector addresses where failure occurred, and will not toggle at other sector addresses. Use DQ2 in conjunction with DQ6 to determine whether device is in auto erase or erase suspend mode.
