can be independently erased minimum 100,000 times.
Block erase suspend mode allows system software to
suspend block erase to read or write data from any other
block.
Writing memory data is performed in word/byte
increments of the device’s 32K-word blocks typically
within 33~s (3V V,,. 3V Vccw). 6JK-byte blocks
typically within 31~s (3V V,,. 3V Vccw). 4K-word
blocks typically within 36~s (3V Vcc. 3V V,,,), 8Kbyte blocks typically within 32~s (3V Vcc. 3V Vccw).
Word/byte write suspend mode enables the system to read
data or execute code from any other flash memory array
location.

wordlbyte write and lock-bit configuration functions. It
allows for: 100% TILleve control inputs. fixed power
supplies during block erase, full chip erase. word/byte
write and lock-bit configuration. and minimal processor
overhead with RAIM-like interface timings.
After initial device power-up or return from reset mode
(see section 3 Bus Operations), the device defaults to read
array mode. Manipulation of external memory control pins
allow array read, standby and output disable operations.
Status register and identifier codes can be accessed
through the CUI independent of the Vccw voltage. High
voltage on Vccw enables successful block erase, full chip
erase, word/byte write and lock-bit configurations. All
functions associated with altering memory contents-block
:rase, full chip erase. word/byte write. lock-bit
:onfiguration, status and identifier codes-are accessed via
he CUI and verified through the status register.
Commands are written using standard microprocessor
vrite timings. The CUI contents serve as input to the
WSM, which controls the block erase. full chip erase,
vord/byte write and lock-bit configuration. The internal
tlgorithms are regulated by the WSM, including pulse
,epetition, internal verification and margining of data.

i-he first task is to write the appropriate read mode

3.3 Standby
CE# a.t a logic-high level (V,,) places the device ir
standby mode which substantially reduces device powel
consumption. DQ,-DQ,, outputs are placed in a highimpedance state independent of OE#. If deselected during
block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write or lock-bil
confi,ouration, the device continues functioning, ant
consuming active power until the operation completes.
3.4 Reset
RP# at V,, initiates the reset mode.
In read modes, RP#-low deselects the memory. places
output drivers in a high-impedance state and turns off all
internal circuits. RP# must be held low for a minimum ot

this wake-up interval. normal operation is restored. The
GUI is reset to read array mode and status register is set to

During block erase. full chip erase, word/byte write or
lock-bit configuradon modes. RP#-low will abort the
operation. RY/E%Y# remains low until the reset operation
is complete. Memory contents being altered are no longer
valid; the data may be partially erased or written. Time
tpmvL is required after RP# goes to logic-high (VIH)
before another command can be written.
As with any automated device, it is important to assert
RP# during system reset. When the system comes out of
reset, it expects to read from the flash memory. Automated
flash memories provide status information when accessed
during block erase. full chip erase. word/byte write or
lock-bit configuration modes. If a CPU reset occurs with
no flash memory reset. proper CPU initialization may not
occur because the flash memory may be providing status
information instead of array data. SHARP’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.

4.1 Read Array Command
Upon initial device power-up and after exit from reset
mode, the device defaults to read array mode. This
aperation is also initiated by writing the Read Array
zomrnand. The device remains enabled for reads until
mother command is written. Once the internal WSM has
started a block erase. full chip erase. word/byte write or
.ock-bit configuration the device will not recognize the
Read Array command until the WSIM completes its
operation unless the WSM is suspended via an Erase

4.3 Read Status Register Command
The status register may be read to determine when a block
erase, full chip erase. word/byte write or lock-bil
configuration is complete and whether the operation
completed successfully. It may be read at any time by
writing the Read Status Register command. After writing
this command, all subsequent read operations output data
from the status register until another valid command is
written. The status register contents are latched on the
falling edge of OE# or CE#. whichever occurs. OE# or

4.4 Clear Status Register Command
Status register bits SRS. SR.4 SR.3 or SR.1 are set to
“1”s by the WSM and can only be reset by the Clear Status
Register command. These bits indicate various failure
conditions (see Table 6). By allowing system software to
reset these bits. several operations (such as cumulatively
erasing multiple blocks or writing several words/bytes in
sequence) may be performed. The status register may be
polled to determine if an error occurred during the
sequence.
To clear the status register, the Clear Status Register
command (50H) is written. It functions independently of

4.5 Block Erase Command
Erase is executed one block at a time and initiated by a
two-cycle command. A block erase setup is first written.
followed by an block erase confirm. This command
sequence requires appropriate sequencing and an address
within the block to be erased (erase changes all block data
to FFFFH/FFH). Block preconditioning. erase, and verify
are handled internally by the WSIM (invisible to the
system). After the two-cycle block erase sequence is
written. the device automatically outputs status register
data when read (see Figure 5). The CPU can detect block
erase completion by analyzing the output data of the
RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7.
When the block erase-is complete, status register bit SR.5
should be checked. If a block erase error is detected. the
status register should be cleared before system software
Ittempts corrective actions. The CUI remains in read
status register mode until a new command is issued.
I’his two-step command sequence of set-up followed by
:xecution ensures that block contents are not accidentally
:rased. An invalid Block Erase command sequence will
esult in both status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set
o “1”. Also, reliable block erasure can only occur when

I.6 Full Chip Erase Command
his command followed by a confirm command erases all
f the unlocked blocks. A full chip erase setup (30H) is
lrst written, followed by a full chip erase confirm (DOH).
hfter a confirm command is written, device erases the all
nlocked blocks block by block. This command sequence
:quires appropriate sequencing. Block preconditioning,
rase and verify are handled internally by the WSM
nvisible to the system). After the two-cycle full chip
rase sequence is written, the device automatically outputs
atus register data when read (see Figure 6). The CPU can
etect full chip erase completion by analyzing the output
ata of the RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7.
ihen the full chip erase is complete. status register bit
R.5 should be checked. If erase error is detected, the
atus register should be cleared before system software
tempts corrective actions. The CUI remains in read

error is detected on a block during full chip erase
operation. WSM stops erasing. Full chip erase operatior
start from lower address block. finish the higher addres:
block. Full chip erase can not be suspended.
This two-step command sequence of set-up followed by
execution ensures that block contents are not accidentally
erased. An invalid Full Chip Erase command sequencr
will result in both status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being
set to “1”. Also, reliable full chip erasure can only occur
when V,,=2.JV-3.6V and VCCW=VCCWHt,2. In thr
absence of this high voltage, block contents are protectec
against erasure. If full chip erase is attempted while

Successful full chip erase requires for boot blocks thal

alternate 10H) is written. followed by a second write that
specifies the address and data (latched on the rising edge
of WE#). The WSiM then takes over, controlling the
word/byte write and write verify algorithms internally.
After the word/byte write sequence is written. the device
automatically outputs status register data when read (see
Figure 7). The CPU can detect the completion of the
word/byte write event by analyzing the RY/BY# pin or
status register bit SR.7.
When word/byte write is complete, status register bit SR.4
should be checked. If word/byte write error is detected. the
status register should be cleared. The internal WSM verify
only detects errors for “1”s that do not successfully write
to “0”s. The CUI remains in read status register mode until
it receives another command.
Reliable word/byte writes can only occur when
V,,=2.7V-3.6V and VCCw=VC-wHIR. In the absence of
this high voltage. memory contents are protected against
word/byte writes. If word/byte write is attempted while
V CCwIVCCLVLK. status register bits SR.3 and SR.4 will be
set to “1”. Successful word/byte write requires for boot
blocks that WP# is Vt, and the corresponding block lockbit be cleared. In parameter and main blocks case. it must
be cleared the corresponding block lock-bit. If word/byte

4.8 Block Erase Suspend Command
The Block Erase Suspend command allows block-erase
interruption to read or word/byte write data in another
block of memory. Once the block erase process starts.
writing the Block Erase Suspend command requests that
the WSM suspend the block erase sequence at a
predetermined point in the algorithm. The device outputs
status register data when read after the Block Erase
Suspend command is written. Polling status register bits
SR.7 and SR.6 can determine when the block erase
operation has been suspended (both will be set to “1”).
RY/BY# will also transition to High Z. Specification
tWHR-,,, defines the block erase suspend latency.
When Block Erase Suspend command write to the GUI. if
block erase was finished. the device places read array
mode. Therefore. after Block Erase Suspend command
write to the CUI, Read Status Register command (70H)
has to write to CUI. then status register bit SR.6 should be
checked for places the device in suspend mode.
At this point. a Read Array command can be written to
read data from blocks other than that which is suspended.
A Word/Byte Write command sequence can also be issued
during erase suspend to program data in other blocks.
Using the Word/Byte Write Suspend command (see
Section 4.9), a word/byte write operation can also be
suspended. During a word/byte write operation with block
erase suspended. status register bit SR.7 will return to “0”
and the RY/BY# output will transition to VOL. However,
SR.6 will remain “1” to indicate block erase suspend
datus.
The only other valid commands while block erase is
suspended are Read Status Register and Block Erase
Resume. After a Block Erase Resume command,is written
:o the flash memory. the WSM will continue the block
:rase process. Status register bits SR.6 and SR.7 will
automatically clear and RY/BY# will return to VOL. After
.he Erase Resume command is written. the device
automatically outputs status register data when read (see
3gure 8). Vccw must remain at VC-WHt,z (the same
Vccw level used for block erase) while block erase is
xrspended. RP# must also remain at V,,. WP# must also
.emain at V,, or V,, (the same WP# level used for block
:rase). Block erase cannot resume until word/byte write
operations initiated during block erase suspend have

Word/Byte
The Word/Byte Write Suspend command allows
word/byte write interruption to read data in other flash
memory locations. Once the word/byte write process

sequence at a predetermined point in the algorithm. The
device continues to output status register data when read
after the Word/Byte Write Suspend command is written.

command (70H) has to write to CUI. then status register
bit SR.2 should be checked for places the device in
suspend mode.
At this point. a Read Array command can be written to
read data from locations other than that which is
suspended. The only other valid commands while
word/byte write is suspended are Read Status Register and
Word/Byte Write Resume. After Word/Byte Write
Resume command is written to the flash memory. the
WSM will continue the word/byte write process. Status
register bits SR.2 and SR.7 will automatically clear and
RY/BY# will return to VOL. After the Word/Byte Write
Resume command is written. the device automatically
outputs status register data when read (see Figure 9).
Vccw must remain at VCCWHtjz (the same Vccw level

4.10 Set Block and Permanent Lock-Bit
Commands
A
flexible block locking and unlocking scheme is enabled
via a combination of block lock-bits. a permanent lock-bit
and WP# pin. The block lock-bits and WP# pin gates
program and erase operations while the permanent lock-bit
gates block-lock bit modification. With the permanent
lock-bit not set, individual block lock-bits can be set using
the Set Block Lock-Bit command. The Set Permanent
Lock-Bit command. sets the permanent lock-bit. After the
permanent lock-bit is set, block lock-bits and locked block
contents cannot altered. See Table 5 for a summary of
hardware and software write protection options.
Set block lock-bit and-permanent lock-bit are executed by
1 two-cycle command sequence. The set block or
aermanent lock-bit setup along with appropriate block or
device address is written followed by either the set block
ock-bit confirm (and an address within the block to be
ocked) or the set permanent lock-bit confirm (and any
ievice address). The WSIM then controls the set lock-bit
Algorithm. After the sequence is written, the device
automatically outputs status resister data when read (see
:&tire IO). The CPU can detect the completion of the set
ock-bit event by analyzing the RY/BY# pin output or
tatus register bit SR.7.
Nhen the set lock-bit operation is complete, status register
bit SR.4 should be checked. If an error is detected, the
tatus register should be cleared. The CUI will remain in
ead status register mode until a new command is issued.
his two-step sequence of set-up followed by execution
nsures that lock-bits are not accidentally set. An invalid
‘et Block or Permanent Lock-Bit command will result in
tatus register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to “1”. Also,

i successful set block lock-bit operation requires that the
ermanent lock-bit be cleared. If it is attempted with the
ermanent lock-bit set. SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to “1”
?d the operation will fail.
In the absence of this high voltage,
4.1 I Clear Block Lock-Bits Command
All set block lock-bits are cleared in parallel via the Clea
Block Lock-Bits command. With the permanent lock-bi
not set. block lock-bits can be cleared using only the Clea
Block Lock-Bits command. If the permanent lock-bit i:
set, block lock-bits cannot cleared. See Table 5 for ;
summary of hardware and software write protectior
options.
Clear block lock-bits operation is executed by a two-cycle
command sequence. A clear block lock-bits setup is firs
written. After the command is written. the device
automatically outputs status register data when read (set
Figure 11). The CPU can detect completion of the cleai
block lock-bits event by analyzing the RY/BY# Pin outpu’
or status register bit SR.7.
When the operation is complete. status register bit SR.5
should be checked. If a clear block lock-bit error is
detected. the status register should be cleared. The GUI
will remain in read status register mode until another
command is issued.
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by execution
ensures that block lock-bits are not accidentally cleared.
An
invalid Clear Block Lock-Bits command sequence will
result in status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to “1”.
Also, a reliable clear block lock-bits operation can only
occur when V,,=2.7V-3.6V and VCCW=VCCWHt,,. If a
clear block lock-bits operation is attempted -while
VCCWIVCCwtK, SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to “1”. In the
absence of this high voltage, the block lock-bits content
are protected against alteration. A successful clear block
lock-bits operation requires that the permanent lock-bit is
not set. If it is attempted with the permanent lock-bit set.
SR.1 and SR.5 will be set to “1” and the operation will
fail.
If a clear block lock-bits operation is aborted due to Vccw
or V,, transitioninp out of valid range or RP# active
transition, block lock-bit values are left in an
undetermined state. A repeat of clear block lock-bits is
required to initialize block lock-bit contents to known
values. Once the permanent lock-bit is set. it cannot be
cleared.

5 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Three-Line Output Control
The device will often be used in large memory arrays.
SHARP provides three control inputs to accommodate
multiple memory connections. Three-line control provides
for:
a. Lowest possible memory power dissipation.
b. Complete assurance that data bus contention will not
occur.
To use these control inputs efficiently, an address decoder
should enable CE# while OE# should be connected to all
memory devices and ‘the system’s READ# control line.
This assures that only selected memory devices have
active outputs while deselected memory devices are in
standby mode. RP# should be connected to the system
POWERGOOD signal to prevent unintended writes during
system power transitions. POWERGOOD should also
:oggIe during system reset.
5.2 RYlBY# and WSM Polling
IY/BY# is an open drain output that should be connected
o V,, by a pull up resistor to provides a hardware method
If detecting block erase, full chip erase, word/byte write
md lock-bit configuration completion. It transitions low
tfter block erase. full chip erase. word/byte write or lock)it configuration commands and returns to VOH (while
cY/BY# is pull up) when the WSM has finished executin,o
he internal algorithm.
<Y/BY# can be connected to an interrupt input of the
ystem CPU or controller. It is active at all times. RY/BY#
s also High Z when the device is in block erase suspend
with word/byte write inactive), word/byte write suspend
)r reset modes.
5.3 Power Supply Decoupling
Flash memory power switchins characteristics require
careful device decoupling. System designers are interested
in three supply current issues: standby current levels,
active current levels and transient peaks produced by
falling and rising edges of CE# and OE#. Transient current
magitudes depend on the device outputs‘ capacitive and
inductive loading. Two-line control and proper decoupling
capacitor selection will suppress transient voltage peaks.
Each device should have a O.lpF ceramic capacitor
connected between its V,, and GND and between its
Vccw and GND. These high-frequency. low inductance
capacitors should be placed as close as possible to package
leads. Additionally. for every eight devices. a 4.7pF
electrolytic capacitor should be placed at the array’s power
supply connection between Vcc and GND. The bulk
capacitor will overcome voltape slumps caused by PC
board trace inductance.
5.4 VCCW Trace on Printed Circuit Boards
Updating flash memories that reside in the target system
requires that the printed circuit board designer pay
attention to the Vccw
supplies the memory cell current for word/byte writing
and block erasing. Use similar trace widths and layout
considerations given to the V,, power bus. Adequate
Vccw supply traces and decoupling will decrease Vccw
voltage spikes and overshoots.

configuration are not guaranteed if V,-, falls outside of a

3.6V range. or RP##VtH. If Vccw error is detected, status
register bit SR.3 is set to “1” along with SR.4 or SR.5,
depending on the attempted operation. If RP# transitions
to V,, during block erase. full chip erase. word/byte write
or lock-bit configuration, RY/BY# will remain low until
the reset operation is complete. Then. the operation will
abort and the device will enter reset mode. The aborted
operation may leave data partially altered. Therefore. the
command sequence must be repeated after normal
operation is restored. Device power-off or RP# transitions
to V,, clear the status register.
The CUI latches commands issued by system software and
is not altered by Vccw
actions. Its state is read array mode upon power-up. after
exit from reset mode or after Vcc transitions below V,,,.

5.6 Power-Up/Down Protection
The device is designed to offer protection against
accidental block erase. full chip erase. word/byte write or
lock-bit configuration during power transitions. Upon
power-up. the device is indifferent as to which power
supply WCCW or VCC) P
resets the CUI to read array mode at power-up.
A system designer must guard against spurious writes for
V,, voltages above V,,, when Vccw is active. Since
both WE# and CE# must be low for a command write,
driving either to V,, will inhibit writes. The GUI’s twostep command sequence architecture provides added level
of protection against data alteration.
In-system block lock and unlock capability prevents
inadvertent data alteration. The device is disabled while
RP#=Vl, regardless of its control inputs state.
owers-up first. Internal circuitry
_.
5.7 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 memory’s nonvolatility increases usable
battery life because data is retained when system power is
removed.
5.8 Data Protection Method
Noises having a level exceeding the limit specified in the
specification may be generated under specific operating
conditions on some systems. Such noises, when induced
onto WE# signal or power supply. may be interpreted as
false commands, causing undesired memory updating. To
protect the data stored in the flash memory against
unwanted overwriting, systems operating with the flash
memory should have the following write protect designs.
as appropriate:
1) Protecting data in specific block
When a lock bit is set. the corresponding block (includes
the 2 boot blocks) is protected against overwriting. By
setting a WP# to low, only the 2 boot blocks can be
protected against overwriting. By using this feature. the
flash memory space can be divided into the program
section (locked section) and data section (unlocked
section). The permanent lock bit can be used to prevent
false block bit setting. For further information on
settinS/resettinp lock-bit, refer to the specification. (See
chapter-l.lOand-l.11.)
2) Data protection through Vccw
When the level of V,--w is lower than VCCWLK (lockout
voltage), write operation on the flash memory is disabled.
All blocks are locked and the data in the blocks are
completely write protected. For the lockout voltage. refer
to the specification. (See chapter 6.2.3.)
3) Data protection through RP#

3. Packing Specification (Dry packing for surface mount packages)
Dry packing is used for the purpose of maintaining IC qua1
packages on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
When the epoxy resin which is used for plastic packages is
humidity, it may absorb 0.15% or more of its weight in moisture. If the surface
mount type package for a relatively Iarge chip absorbs a large amount of moisture
between the epoxy resin and insert material (e.g. chip, lead frame) this moisture
may suddenly vaporize into steam when the entire package is heated during the
soldering process (e.g. VPS). This causes expansion and results in separation
between the resin and insert material, and sometimes cracking of the package.
This dry packing is designed to prevent the above problem from occurring in
surface mount packages.
