The M29W320D is a 32 Mbit (4Mb x8 or 2Mb x16)
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 d efaults 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 pres erve
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 c omm ands are wri tten to the Command Interface of t he memory. An
on-chip Program/Erase Controller simplifies the
process of programming or erasing the memory by
taking care of all of the special operations that are
required to update the memory contents. The end
of a program or erase op eration can be de tected
and any error conditions identified. The command
set required to control the memory is consistent
with JEDEC standards.
The blocks in the memory are as ymmetrically arranged, see Figure 6. and Figure 7., Table 19. and
Table 20.The first or l ast 6 4 Kby tes h ave been divided into four additional blocks. The 16 Kbyte
Boot Block can be used for small initialization code
to start the microprocessor, the two 8 Kbyte Parameter Blocks can be used for p aramet er storag e
and the remaining 32 K byte is a sm all Ma in Block
where the application may be stored.
Chip Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable signals control the bus operation of the memory.
They allow simple conne ction to most microprocessors, often without additional logic.
The memory is offered in TSOP48 (12 x 20mm)
TFBGA63 (7x11mm, 0.8mm pitch) and TFBGA48
(6x8mm, 0.8mm pitch) packages. The memory is
supplied with all the bi t s erased (set to 1 ).

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure 2., Logic Diagram, and Table 1., Signal
Names, for a brief overview of the signals connected to this device.
Address Inputs (A0-A20). The Address Inputs
select the cell s in the memory arra y to access du ring Bus Read operations. During Bus Write operations they control the commands sent to the
Command Interface of the internal state machine.
Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7). The Data I/O
outputs the data stored at the selected address
during a Bus Read operation. During Bus Write

BUS OPERATIONS
There are five standard bus operations that control
the device. These are Bus Read, Bus Write, Ou tput Disable, Standby and Automatic Standby. See
Figure 8. and Table 2., Bus Operations, for a summary. Typically glitches of less than 5ns on Chip
Enable or Write Enable are ignored by the memory
and do not affect bus operations.
Bus Read. Bus Read operations read from the
memory cells, or specific registers in the Command Interface. A valid Bus Read operation involves setting the desired address on the Address
Inputs, applying a Low sig nal, V
, to Chip Enable
IL
and Output Enable and keeping Write Enable
High, V
. The Data Inputs/Outputs will output the
IH
value, see Figure 13., Read Mode AC Waveforms,
and Table 11., Read AC Characteristics, for details of when the output becomes valid.
Bus Write. Bus Write operations write to the
Command Interface. A valid Bus Write operation
begins by setting the desire d address on t he Address Inputs. The Address Inputs are latc hed by
the Command Interface on the falling edge of Chip
Enable or Write Enable, whichever occurs last.
The Data Inputs/Outputs a re latched by the Command Interface on the rising edge of Chip Enable
or Write Enable, whichever occurs first. Output Enable must remain High, V
, during the whole Bus
IH
Write operation. See Figure 14. and Figure 15.,
Write AC Waveforms, and Table 12. and Table
13., Write AC Characteristics, for details of the timing requirements.

be held within V

level see Table 10., DC Characteristics.
During program or erase operations the memory

til the operation completes.
Automatic Standby. If CMOS levels (V
are used to drive the bus and the bus is inactive for
300ns or more the memory enters Automatic
Standby where the internal Supply Current is reduced to the Standby Supply Current, I
Data Inputs/Outputs will still output data if a Bus
Read operation is in progress.
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 V
to be applied to some pins.
ID
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 t he signals

COMMAND INTERFACE
All Bus Write operations t o the me mory are in terpreted 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 commands changes depending on whether the memory is in 16-bit or 8bit mode. See either Table 3., or Table 4., depending on the configuration that is being used, for a
summary of the commands.
Read/Reset Command. The Read/Reset command returns the memory to its Read mode where
it behaves like a ROM or EPROM, unless otherwise stated. It also resets the errors in th e Status
Register. Either one or three Bus Write operations
can be used to issue the Read/Reset command.
The Read/Reset Command can be issued, between Bus Write cycles before the start of a program or erase operation, to return the device to
read mode. Once the program or erase operation
has started the Read/Reset command is no longer
accepted. The Read/Reset command will not
abort an Erase operation when issued while in
Erase Suspend.
Auto Select Command. The Auto Select command is used to read the Manufacturer C ode, 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 comma nd is issued the memory
remains in Auto Select mode until a Read/Reset
command is issued. Read CFI Query and Read/
Reset commands are accepted in Auto Select
mode, all other commands are ignored.
From the Auto Select mode the Manufacturer
Code can be read using a Bus Read operation
with A0 = V
may be set to either V
and A1 = VIL. The other address bits
IL
or VIH. The Manufa cturer
IL
Code for STMicroelectronics is 0020h.
The Device Code can be read using a Bus Read
operation with A0 = V
address bits may be set to e ither V
and A1 = VIL. The other
IH

IL
Device Code for the M29W320DT is 22CAh and
for the M29W320DB is 22CBh.

A1 = V
, and A 12 - A20 specify i ng the address of

IL
the bl ock. T he oth er addr ess bit s may b e set t o either V
or VIH. If the ad dress ed bloc k is pro tecte d
IL
then 01h is output on Data Inputs/Outputs DQ0DQ7, otherwise 00h is output.
Read CFI Query Command. The Read CFI
Query Command is used to read data from the
Common Flash Interface (CFI) Memory Area. This
M29W320DT, M29W320DB
command is valid when the device is in the Read
Array mode, or when the device is i n Autoselected
mode.
One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Read
CFI Query Command. Once the command is issued subsequent Bus Read ope rations read from
the Common Flash Interface Memory Area.
The Read/Reset command m ust be issued to return the device to the previous mode (the Read Array mode or Autoselected mode). A second Read/
Reset command would be needed if the device is
to be put in the Read Array mode from Autoselected mode.
See APPENDIX B., Table 21., Table 22., Table
23., Table 24., Table 25. and T able 26. for details
on the information contained in the Common Flash
Interface (CFI) memory area.
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 the address and data in the internal
state machine and starts the Program/Erase Controller.
If the address falls in a pro tected block then the
Program command is ignored, the data remains
unchanged. The Status Register is never read and
no error condition is given.
During the program operat ion the memo ry will ignore all commands. I t is not possible to issue any
command to abort or pause the operation. Typical
program times are given in Table 5.. Bus Read operations during the program o peration will output
the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs.
See the section on the S tatus Register for more
details.
After the program operation has completed the
memory will retu rn 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.
Note that the Program command cannot change a
bit set at ’0’ bac k to ’1’. One of the E rase Commands must be used 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 cycle 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 requ ired
to issue the Unlock Bypass command.
15/46
Page 16
M29W320DT, M29W320DB
Once the Unlock Bypas s command has bee n issued the memory will only accept the Unl ock Bypass Program command and the Unlock Bypass
Reset command. The memory can be read as if in
Read mode.
The memory offers accelerated program operations through the V
system asserts V
/Write Protect pin. When the
PP
on the VPP/Write Protect pin,
PP
the m emory automa tically enters the Unlock Bypass mode. The system may then write the twocycle Unlock Bypass program command sequence. The memory uses the higher voltage on
the V
/Write Protect pin, to accelerate the Unlock
PP
Bypass Program operation.
Never raise V
/Write Protect to VPP from any
PP
mode except Read m ode, otherwise the memory
may be left in an indeterminate state.
Unlock Bypass Program Command. The Unlock Bypass Prog ram comma nd can be used to
program one address in the memory array 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 command behaves identically to the Program operation using the Program command. The
operation cannot be abort ed, the Status Regi ster
is read and protected blocks cannot be programmed. Errors must be reset using the Read/
Reset command, which l eaves the device in Unlock Bypass Mode. See the Program command for
details on the behavior.
Unlock Bypass Reset Command. The Unlock
Bypass Reset command can be used to ret urn to
Read/Reset mode from Unlock Bypass Mode.
Two Bus Write operations are required to issue the
Unlock Bypass Reset command. Read/Reset
command does not exit from Unlock Bypass
Mode.
Chip Erase Command. The Chip Erase command can be used to erase the entire chip. Six Bus
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 protect e d th e Chip Erase op erat i on appears to start but will terminate within about 100µs,
leaving the data unchanged. No error condition is
given when protected blocks are ignored.
During the erase operation the memory will ignore
all commands, including the Erase Suspen d command. It is not possible to i ssue any c ommand t o
abort the operation. Typical chip erase times are
given in Table 5.. All Bus Read operations du ring
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 com pleted the
memory will retu rn 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 Chip Erase Command sets all 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 u sed 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 Bus Write operation. Once the Program/Erase
Controller starts it is not possible to select any
more blocks. Each additional block must therefore
be selected within 50µs of the last block. The 50µs
timer restarts when an additional block is selected.
The Status Register can be read after the sixth
Bus Write operation. See the Status Register section for details on how t o identify if the Program/
Erase Controller has started the Block Erase operation.
If any selected blocks are protected then these are
ignored and all the other selected blocks are
erased. If all of the selected blocks are pro tected
the Block Erase operation appears to start but will
terminate within about 100µs, leaving the data unchanged. No error condition is given when protected blocks are ignored.
During the Block Erase operation the me mory wi ll
ignore all commands except the Erase Susp end
command. Typical b lock e rase tim es are given in
Table 5.. All Bus Read operations during the Block
Erase ope ration will out pu t the S t a tus Re gister on
the Data Inputs/Outputs. See the sec tion on the
Status Register for more details.
After the Block Erase operation has completed the
memory will retu rn 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
Write operation.

M29W320DT, M29W320DB
The Program/Erase Controller will sus pend within
the Erase Suspend Latency Time (refer to Table 5.
for value) of the Erase Suspend Command being
issued. Once the Program/Erase Controller has
stopped the memory will be set to Read mode and
the Erase will be suspended. If the 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 suspended immedi ately and wi ll start immediately when the Erase Resume Comm and is
issued. It is not possible to select any further
blocks to erase after the Era se 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. If any attempt is made to
program in a protected block or in the suspended
block then the Program command is ignored and
the data remains unchanged. The Status Register
is not read and no error condi tion is given. Read-
ing from blocks that are being erased will output
the Status Register.
It is also possible t o issue the Auto Select, Read
CFI Query and Unlock Bypass commands during
an Erase Suspend. The Read/Reset command
must be issued to return the device to Read Array
mode before the Resume command will be accepted.
Erase Resume Command. The Erase Resume
command must be used to restart the Program/
Erase Controller after an Erase Suspend. The device must be in Read Array mode before t he Resume command will be accepted. An erase can be
suspended and resumed more than once.
Block Protect and Chip Unprotect Commands.
Each block can be separately protected against
accidental Program or E rase. The whol e c hip can
be unprotected to allow the data inside the blo cks
to be changed.
Block Protect and Chip Unprote ct operations are
described in APPENDIX C..

STATUS REGISTER
Bus Read operations from any address always
read the Status Register during Program and
Erase operations. It is also read during Erase Suspend when an address within a block being erased
is accessed.
The bits in the Status Register are summari zed in
Table 6., 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 out put 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 mode and Bus Read operations from the address just programmed o utput DQ7, not its complement.
During Er ase ope ratio ns the D ata Pollin g Bit ou tputs ’0’, the complement of the erased state of
DQ7. After successful completion 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.
Figure Figure 9., Data Polling Flowchart, gives an
example of how to use the Data Polling Bit. A Valid
Address is the address being program med or an
address within the block being erased.
Toggle Bit (DQ6). The Toggle Bit can be used to
identify whether the Program/Erase Controller has
successfully completed its operation or if it has responded to an Erase Suspen d. 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 the memory returns to Read mode.
During Erase Suspend mode the Toggle Bit will
output when addressing a cell within a block being
erased. The Toggle Bit will stop toggling when the
Program/Erase Controller has suspended the
Erase operation.
If any attempt is made to erase a protected bl ock,
the operation is abort ed, no error is sig nalled and
DQ6 toggles for approximately 100µs. If any attempt is made to program a protected block or a
suspended block, the operation is abort ed, no error is signalled and DQ6 toggles for approximately
1µs.
Figure Figure 10., Dat a 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 i s set to ’1’ when a P rogram, Block Erase or Chip Erase operation fails to
write the correct data to the memory. If the Error
Bit is set a Read/Rese t comm and must be issued
20/46
Page 21
M29W320DT, M29W320DB
before other commands are issued. The Error bit
is output on DQ5 when the Status Register is read.
Note that the Program command cannot change a
bit set to ’0’ back to ’1’ and attempting to do so will
set DQ5 to ‘1’. A Bus Read operation to that address will s h ow the bit is s ti ll ‘0’. One o f th e Erase
commands must b e used to set all the bits in a
block or in the whole memory from ’0’ to ’1’.
Erase Timer Bit (DQ3). The Erase Timer Bit can
be used to identify the start of Program/Erase
Controller operation during a Block Erase command. Once the Program/Erase Controller starts
erasing the Erase Timer Bit is set to ’1’. Before the
Program/Erase Controller starts the Erase Timer
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
Register is read.
Alternative Toggle Bit (DQ2). The Alternative
Toggle Bit can be used to monitor the Program/
Erase controller during Erase operations. The Alternative Toggle Bit is output on DQ2 when the
During Chip Erase and Block Erase operations the
Toggle Bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc., with
successive Bus Read operations from addresses
within the blocks being erased. A protected block
is treated the same as a block not being erased.
Once the operation 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 ou tput
the memory cell data as if in Read mode.
After an Erase operation that c auses the Error Bit
to be set the 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 B us Read Operations from addresses within blocks that have not
erased correctly. The Alternative Toggle B it does
not change if the addressed block has erased correctly.
Status Register is read.

The Common Flash Interface is a JEDEC approved, standardized data structure that can be
read from the Flash memory device. It allows a
system software to query the device to det ermine
various electrical and timing p arameters, density
information and functions su pported by the memory. The system can interface easily with the device, enabling the software to upgrade itself when
necessary.
When the CFI Query Command is issued the device enters CFI Query mode and the data structure

Block protection can be used to prevent any operation from modifying the data s tored in the Flash.
Each Block can be protected individually. Once
protected, Program and Erase operations on the
block fail to change the data.
There are three techniques that can be used to
control Block Protection, these are the Programmer technique, the In-System technique and Temporary Unprotection. Temporary Unprotection is
controlled by the Reset/Block Temporary Unprotection pin, RP
scriptions section.
Unlike the Command Interface of the Program/
Erase Controller, the techniques for protecting and
unprotecting blocks change between different
Flash memory suppliers. For example , the techniques for AMD parts will not work on STMicroelectronics parts. Care should be taken when
changing drivers for one part to work on another.
Programm er Te chnique
The Programmer techniq ue uses high (V
age levels on some of the bus pins. These cannot
be achieved using a standard microprocessor bus,
therefore the technique is recommended on ly for
use in Programming Equipment.
To protect a block follow the flowch art in Figure
Figure 21., Programmer Equipment Block Protect
Flowchart. To unprotect the whole chip it is necessary to protect all of the blocks first, then all blocks
can be unprotected at the same time. To unprotect
the chip follow Figure Figure 22., Programmer
Equipment Chip Unprotect Flowchart. Table 27. ,
; this is described in the Signal De-
) volt-
ID
Programmer Technique B us Operations, gives a
summary of each operation.
The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care
should be taken t o ensure t hat, where a pause is
specified, it is followed as closely as possible. Do
not abort the procedure be fore reaching the end.
Chip Unprotect can take several seconds and a
user message should be provided to show that the
operation is progressing.
In-System Technique
The In-System technique requires a high voltage
level on the Reset/Blocks Temporary Unprotect
pin, RP
. This can be achieved without violating the
maximum ratings of the components on the microprocessor bus, therefore this technique is suitable
for use after the Flash has been fitted to the system.
To protect a block follow the flowch art in Figure
Figure 23., In-System Block Protect Flowchart. To
unprotect the whole chip it is necessary to protect
all of the blocks f ir st, th en all th e blocks can be un protected at the same time. To unprotect the chip
follow Figure Figure 24., In-System Chip Unprotect Flowchart.
The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care
should be taken t o ensure t hat, where a pause is
specified, it is followed as closely as possible. Do
not allow the microprocessor to serv ice interrupts
that will upset the timing and do not abort the procedure before reaching t he end. Chip Unprotect
can take several seconds and a user message
should be provided to show that the operation is
progressing.
