SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The M29W160D is a 16 Mbit (2Mb x8 or 1Mbx16)
non-volatile memory that can be read, erased and
reprogrammed. These operations can be performed using a single low voltage (2.7 to 3.6V)
supply. On power-up the memory defaults to its
Read mode where it can be read in the same way
as a ROM or EPROM.
The memory is divided into blocks that can be
erased independently so it is possible to preserve
valid data while old data is erased. Each block can
be protected independently to prevent accidental
Program or Erase commands from modifying the
memory. Program and Erase commands are written to the Command Interface of the memory. An
on-chip Program/Erase Controller simplifies the
process ofprogramming or erasing the memory by
taking care of all of the specialoperations that are
required to update the memory contents.
The end of a program or erase operation can be
detected and any error conditions identified. The
M29W160DT, M29W160DB
command set required to control the memory is
consistent with JEDEC standards.
The blocks in the memory are asymmetrically arranged,see Tables2 and3, BlockAddresses. The
first or last 64 Kbytes have been divided into four
additional blocks. The 16 Kbyte Boot Block can be
used for smallinitialization code to startthe microprocessor, the two 8 Kbyte Parameter Blocks can
be used for parameter storage and the remaining
32K is a small Main Block where the application
may be stored.
Chip Enable, Output Enableand Write Enable signals control the bus operation of the memory.
They allow simple connection to most microprocessors, often without additional logic.
The memory is offered in TSOP48 (12 x 20mm),
SO44 and LFBGA48 (0.8mm pitch) packages and
it is supplied with all the bits erased (set to ’1’).
See Figure 2, Logic Diagram, and Table 1, Signal
Names, fora brief overview ofthesignals connected to this device.
Address Inputs (A0-A19).
The Address Inputs
select the cells in the memoryarray to access during Bus Read operations. During BusWrite operations they control the commands sent to the
Command Interface of the internal state machine.
Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7).
The Data Inputs/Outputs outputthe datastored at the selected
address during a Bus Readoperation. DuringBus
Write operations they represent the commands
sent tothe Command Interface of theinternal state
machine.
Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ8-DQ14).
The Data Inputs/Outputs outputthe datastored at the selected
address during a Bus Read operation when BYTE
is High, V
. When BYTE is Low, VIL, these pins
IH
are not used and arehigh impedance. During Bus
Write operations the Command Register does not
use these bits. When reading the Status Register
these bits should be ignored.
Data Input/Output or Address Input (DQ15A-1).
When BYTE is High, VIH, this pin behaves as a
Data Input/Output pin (as DQ8-DQ14). When
BYTE is Low, VIL, this pin behaves asan address
pin; DQ15A–1 Low willselect the LSB of the Word
on the other addresses, DQ15A–1 Highwill select
the MSB. Throughout the text consider references
to the Data Input/Output to include this pin when
BYTE is High and references to the Address Inputs to include this pin when BYTE is Low except
when stated explicitly otherwise.
Chip Enable (E). The Chip Enable, E, activates
the memory,allowing BusRead and Bus Writeoperations to be performed. When Chip Enable is
High, V
, all other pins are ignored.
IH
Output Enable (G). The Output Enable, G, controls the Bus Read operation of the memory.
Write Enable (W). The Write Enable, W, controls
the Bus Write operation of the memory’s Command Interface.
Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect (RP). The
Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect pin can be
used to apply a Hardware Resetto the memory or
to temporarily unprotect all Blocks that have been
protected.
A Hardware Reset is achieved by holding Reset/

After a Hardware Reset, Bus Read and Bus Write
operations cannot begin until Ready/Busy becomes high-impedance. See Table 18 and Figure
13, Reset/Temporary Unprotect AC Characteristics.
During Program or Erase operations Ready/Busy

Read/Reset commands or Hardware Resets until
the memory is ready to enter Read mode.
The use ofan open-drain output allowsthe Ready/
Busy pins from several memories to be connected
to asingle pull-up resistor. A Low will then indicate
that one, or more, of the memories is busy.
Byte/Word Organization Select (BYTE). The
Byte/Word Organization Select pin is used to
switch between the 8-bit and 16-bit Bus modes of
the memory. When Byte/Word Organization Select isLow, V
it is High, VIH, the memory is in 16-bit mode.

BUS OPERATIONS
There are five standardbusoperations that control
the device. These are Bus Read, Bus Write, Output Disable, Standby and Automatic Standby. See
Tables 4 and 5, Bus Operations, for a summary.
Typically glitches of less than 5ns on Chip Enable
or WriteEnable areignored by the memory and do
not affect bus operations.
Bus Read.
memory cells, or specific registers in the Command Interface. A valid Bus Read operation involves setting the desiredaddress on the Address
Inputs, applying a Low signal, V
and Output Enable and keeping Write Enable
High, VIH. The Data Inputs/Outputs will output the
value, see Figure 10, Read Mode AC Waveforms,
and Table 15, Read AC Characteristics, for details
of when the output becomes valid.
Bus Write.
Command Interface. A valid Bus Write operation
begins by setting the desired address on the Address Inputs. The Address Inputs are latched by
the CommandInterface on the falling edgeof Chip
Enable or Write Enable, whichever occurs last.
The Data Inputs/Outputs are latched by theCommand Interface on the rising edge of Chip Enable
or WriteEnable, whichever occursfirst.Output Enable must remain High, VIH, during the whole Bus
Write operation. See Figures 11 and 12, Write AC
Waveforms, and Tables 16 and 17, Write AC
Characteristics, for details of the timing requirements.
Output Disable. The Data Inputs/Outputs are in
the high impedance state when Output Enable is
High, V
Standby. When Chip Enable is High, V
memory enters Standby mode and the Data Inputs/Outputs pins are placed in the high-impedance state. To reduce the Supply Current to the

Special Bus Operations.
Additional bus operations can be performed to read the Electronic Signature and also to apply and remove Block
Protection. These bus operations are intended for
use by programming equipment and are not usually used in applications. They require VIDto be
applied to some pins.
Electronic Signature.
The memory has two
codes, the manufacturer code and the device
code, that can be read to identify the memory.
These codes can be read by applying the signals
listed in Tables 4 and 5, Bus Operations.
Block Protection and BlocksUnprotection. Each
block can be separately protected against accidental Program or Erase. Protected blocks can be
unprotected to allow data to be changed.
There are two methods available for protecting
and unprotecting the blocks, one for use on programming equipment and the other for in-system
use. For further information refer to Application
Note AN1122, Applying Protection and Unprotection to M29 Series Flash.

COMMAND INTERFACE
All Bus Write operations to the memory are interpreted by the Command Interface. Commands
consist of one or more sequential Bus Write operations. Failure to observe a valid sequence of Bus
Write operations will result in the memory returning to Read mode. The long command sequences
are imposed to maximize data security.
The address used for the commandschanges depending on whether the memory is in 16-bit or 8bit mode. See either Table 7, or 8, depending on
the configurationthat isbeing used, for a summary
of the commands.
Read/Reset Command. The Read/Reset command returns the memory toits Read modewhere
it behaves like a ROM or EPROM, unless stated
otherwise (see Security Data command). It also
resets the errors in the Status Register. Either one
or threeBus Write operationscan beused to issue
the Read/Reset command.
If the Read/Reset command is issued during a
Block Eraseoperation or followinga Programming
or Erase error then the memory will takeupto 10µs
to abort. During the abort period no valid data can
be read from the memory. Issuing a Read/Reset
command during a Block Erase operation will
leave invalid data in the memory.
Auto Select Command. The Auto Select command is used to read the Manufacturer Code, the
Device Code and the Block Protection Status.
Three consecutive Bus Write operations are required to issue the Auto Select command. Once
the Auto Select command is issued the memory
remains in Auto Select mode until another command is issued.
From the Auto Select mode the Manufacturer
Code can be read using a Bus Read operation
with A0 = VILand A1 = VIL. The otheraddress bits

or VIH. The Manufacturer
IL
Code for STMicroelectronics is 0020h.
The Device Code can be read using a Bus Read
operation with A0 = VIHand A1 = VIL. The other
address bits may be set to either VILor VIH. The
Device Code for the M29W160DT is 22C4h and
for the M29W160DB is 2249h.
The Block Protection Status of each block can be
read using a Bus Read operation with A0 = VIL,
A1 = VIH, and A12-A19 specifying the address of
the block. The other address bits may be set toeither VILor VIH. If the addressed block is protected then 01h is output on Data Inputs/Outputs
DQ0-DQ7, otherwise 00h is output.
Program Command. The Program command
can be used to program a value to one address in
the memory array at a time. The command requires four Bus Write operations,the final write operation latches theaddress and data inthe internal
state machine and starts the Program/Erase Controller.
If the address falls in a protected block then the
Program command is ignored, the data remains
unchanged. The Status Register isnever read and
no error condition is given.
During the program operation the memory will ignore all commands. It is not possible to issue any
command to abort or pause the operation. Typical
program timesare given in Table 9. Bus Read operations during the program operation will output
the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs.
See the section on the Status Register for more
details.
After the program operation has completed the
memory will return to the Read mode, unless an
error has occurred. When an error occurs the
memory will continue to output the Status Regis-

Page 12
M29W160DT, M29W160DB
ter. A Read/Reset command must be issued to reset the error condition and return to Read mode.
Note that the Program command cannotchange a
bit set at ’0’ back to ’1’. One of the Erase Commands must beused to set all the bits in a block or
in the whole memory from ’0’ to ’1’.
Unlock Bypass Command.
The Unlock Bypass
command is used in conjunction with the Unlock
Bypass Program command to program the memory. When the access time to the device is long (as
with some EPROM programmers) considerable
time saving can be made by using these commands. Three Bus Write operations are required
to issue the Unlock Bypass command.
Once the Unlock Bypass command has been issued the memory will only accept the Unlock Bypass Program command and the Unlock Bypass
Reset command. The memory can be read as if in
Read mode.
Unlock Bypass Program Command.
TheUnlock Bypass Program command can be used to
program one address in memory at a time. The
command requires two Bus Write operations, the
final write operation latches the address and data
in the internal state machine and starts the Program/Erase Controller.
The Program operation using the Unlock Bypass
Program commandbehaves identically to theProgram operation using the Program command. A
protected block cannot be programmed; the operation cannot be aborted and theStatus Register is
read. Errors must be reset using the Read/Reset
command, which leaves the device in Unlock Bypass Mode.See the Programcommand for details
on the behavior.
Unlock Bypass Reset Command. TheUnlock
Bypass Reset command can be used to return to
Read/Reset mode from Unlock Bypass Mode.
Two BusWrite operations are required to issuethe
Unlock Bypass Reset command.
Chip Erase Command. The Chip Erase command canbeused to erase the entire chip. SixBus
Write operations are required to issue the Chip
Erase Command and start the Program/Erase
Controller.
If any blocks are protected then these are ignored
and all the other blocks are erased. If all of the
blocks are protected the ChipErase operation appears tostart but will terminatewithinabout 100µs,
leaving the data unchanged. No error condition is
given when protected blocks are ignored.
During the erase operationthe memory will ignore
all commands. It is not possible to issue any command to abort the operation. Typical chip erase
times are given in Table 9. All Bus Read operations during the Chip Erase operation will output
the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs.
See the section on the Status Register for more
details.
After the Chip Erase operation has completed the
memory will return to the Read Mode, unless an
error has occurred. When an error occurs the
memory will continue to output the Status Register. A Read/Reset command must be issued to reset the error condition and return to Read Mode.
TheChip Erase Command setsall of the bits in unprotected blocks of the memory to ’1’. All previous
data is lost.
Block Erase Command.
The Block Erase command can be used to erase a list of one or more
blocks. Six Bus Write operations are required to
select the first block in the list. Each additional
block in the list can be selected by repeating the
sixth Bus Write operation using the address of the
additional block. The Block Erase operation starts
the Program/Erase Controller about 50µs after the
last BusWrite operation. Once the Program/Erase
Controller starts it is not possible to select any
more blocks.Each additional block must therefore
be selectedwithin 50µs ofthe last block. The 50µs
timer restarts when an additionalblock is selected.
The Status Register can be read after the sixth
Bus Write operation. See the Status Register for
details on how to identify if the Program/Erase
Controller has started the Block Erase operation.
If any selected blocksare protected thenthese are
ignored and all the other selected blocks are
erased. If all of the selected blocks are protected
the Block Erase operation appears to start but will
terminate within about 100µs, leaving thedata unchanged.No error condition is givenwhen protected blocks are ignored.
During the Block Erase operation the memory will
ignore all commands except the Erase Suspend
and Read/Reset commands. Typical block erase
times are given in Table 9. All Bus Read operations during the Block Erase operation will output
the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs.
See the section on the Status Register for more
details.
After the Block Erase operation has completedthe
memory will return to the Read Mode, unless an
error has occurred. When an error occurs the
memory will continue to output the Status Register. A Read/Reset command must be issued to reset the error condition and return to Read mode.
The Block Erase Command sets all of the bits in
the unprotected selected blocks to ’1’. All previous
data in the selected blocks is lost.
Erase Suspend Command. The Erase Suspend
Command may be used to temporarily suspend a
Block Erase operation and return the memory to
Read mode. The command requires one Bus
12/29
Page 13
M29W160DT, M29W160DB
Write operation. During Erase Suspend the reset
command is ignored.
The Program/Erase Controller will suspend within
15µs of the Erase Suspend Command being issued. Once the Program/Erase Controller has
stopped the memorywill be set to Read mode and
the Erasewill be suspended. Ifthe Erase Suspend
command is issued during the period when the
memory is waiting for an additional block (before
the Program/Erase Controller starts) then the
Erase is suspendedimmediately and will start immediately when the Erase Resume Command is
issued. It will not be possible to select any further
blocks for erasure after the Erase Resume.
During Erase Suspend it is possible to Read and
Program cells in blocks that are not being erased;
both Read and Program operations behave as
normal on these blocks. Reading from blocks that
are being erased will output the Status Register. It
is also possible to enter the Auto Select mode: the
memory willbehave asin the Auto Selectmode on
all blocksuntil a Read/Reset commandreturns the
memory to Erase Suspend mode.
Erase Resume Command. The Erase Resume
command must be used to restart the Program/
Erase Controller from Erase Suspend. An erase
can be suspended and resumed more than once.
Security Data Command.
TheSecurityData
command can be used toread the Security Memory Block. The Security Memory Block is a block of
256 words that is usually undefined. Volume customers can request that a unique security code is
pre-programmed by ST into each part. One Bus
Write operation is required to issue the Security
Data command. Oncethe SecurityData command
is issued Bus Read operations read from the Security Memory Block instead of the memory array,
until another command is issued.
After issuing the Security Data command from
Auto Select modea Read/Reset command will return to Auto Select mode. An invalid command will
return to Read mode.
Valid addresses forthe Security Memory Blockare
given in Table 6, Security Memory Block Addresses. Although the address for the Security Data
command is Don’t Care, it is necessary to choose
an address outside theSecurity Memory Block for
correct operation.

STATUS REGISTER
Bus Read operations from any address always
read the Status Register during Program and
Erase operations. It isalso read during Erase Suspend whenanaddress within a block beingerased
is accessed.
The bits in the Status Register are summarized in
Table 10, Status Register Bits.
Data Polling Bit (DQ7). The Data Polling Bit can
be used to identify whether the Program/Erase
Controller has successfully completed its operation or if it has responded to an Erase Suspend.
The Data Polling Bit is output on DQ7 when the
Status Register is read.
During Program operations the Data Polling Bit
outputs the complement of the bit being programmed to DQ7. After successful completion of
the Program operation the memory returns to
Read modeand BusRead operationsfrom theaddress just programmed output DQ7, not its complement.
During Erase operations the Data Polling Bit outputs ’0’, the complement of the erased state of
DQ7. After successfulcompletion of the Erase operation the memory returns to Read Mode.
In Erase Suspend mode the Data Polling Bit will
output a ’1’ during a Bus Read operation within a
block being erased. The Data Polling Bit will
change from a ’0’ to a ’1’ when the Program/Erase
Controller has suspended the Erase operation.

Toggle Bit (DQ6).
identify whetherthe Program/Erase Controllerhas
successfully completed its operation or if ithas responded to an Erase Suspend. The Toggle Bit is
output on DQ6 when the Status Register is read.
During Program and Erase operations the Toggle
Bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc., with successive Bus Read operations at any address. After
successful completion of the operation thememory returns to Read mode.
During Erase Suspend mode the Toggle Bit will
output whenaddressing a cellwithin a block being
erased. The Toggle Bit will stoptoggling when the
Program/Erase Controller has suspended the
Erase operation.
Figure 7, Data Toggle Flowchart, gives an example of how to use the Data Toggle Bit.
Error Bit (DQ5). The Error Bit can be used to
identify errors detected by the Program/Erase
Controller. The Error Bit is set to ’1’ when a Program, BlockErase or Chip Erase operationfails to
write the correct data to the memory. If the Error
Bit is set a Read/Reset command must be issued
before other commands are issued. The Error bit
is output onDQ5 whenthe Status Register is read.
Note thatthe Program command cannotchange a
bit setat ’0’back to ’1’ andattempting to dosomay
or may not set DQ5at ‘1’. In both cases, a successive BusRead operationwill showthe bit is still ‘0’.
One of the Erase commands must be used to set
all the bits in a block or in the whole memory from

Bit is set to ’0’ and additional blocks to be erased
may be written to the Command Interface. The
Erase Timer Bit is output on DQ3 when the Status

completes the memory returns to Read mode.
During Erase Suspend the Alternative Toggle Bit
changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc. with successive
Bus Read operations from addresses within the
blocks being erased. Bus Read operations to addresses within blocks not being erased will output
the memory cell data as if in Read mode.
After an Erase operation that causes the Error Bit
to be setthe Alternative Toggle Bit can be used to
identify which block or blocks have caused the error. The Alternative Toggle Bit changes from ’0’ to
’1’ to ’0’, etc. with successive Bus Read Operations from addresses within blocks that have not
erased correctly. The Alternative Toggle Bit does
not change ifthe addressed block haserased correctly.
