SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure 2 Logic Diagram and T able 1,Signal
Names, for a brief overview of the signals connected to this de vice.
Address Inputs (A0-A18). Addresses A0-A18
are common inputs for the Flash an d the SRAM
components. The Address Inputs select the cells
in the memory array to access during Bu s Read
operations. During Bus Write operations they control the commands sent to the Command Interface
of the internal state machine. The Flash memory is
accessed through the Chip Enable (
Enable (WF
) signals, while the SRAM is accessed
through two Chip Enable signals (E1S
and the Write Enable signal (WS
EF) and Write
and E2S)
).
Address Inputs (A19-A21). Addresses A19-A21
are inputs for the Flash component only. The
Flash memory is acc essed through the Chip E nable (EF
) and Write Enable (WF) signals.
Data Input/Output (DQ0-DQ15). The Data I/O
outputs the data stored at the selected address
during a Bus Read operation or inputs a command
or the data to be programmed durin g a Write Bus
operation.
Flash Chip Enable (EF
). The Chip Enable input
activates the memory control logic, input buffers,
decoders and sense amplifiers. When Chip Enable is at V

Flash Output Enable (GF
). The Output Enable
controls data outputs during the Bus Read operati on of the memo ry.
Flash Write Enable (
WF). The Write Enable
controls the Bus Write operation of the memory’s
Command Interface. The data and address inputs
are latched on the rising ed ge of Chip Enable or
Write Enable whichever occurs first.
Flash Write Protect (WPF
). Write Protect is an
input that gives an additional hardware protection
for each block. When Write Protect is at V
IL
, the
Lock-Down is enabled and the protection status of
the Locked-Down blocks cannot be changed.
When Write Protect is at V
, the Lock-Down is
IH
disabled and the Locked-Down blocks can be
locked or unlocked. (refer to Table 13, Lock Status).
Flash Reset (RPF
). The Reset input provides a
hardware reset of the memory. When Re set is at
V
, the memory is in reset mode: the outputs are
IL
high impedance and the current consumption is
reduced to the Reset Supply Current I

latch is transparent when Latch Enable is at V
and it is inhibited when Latch Enable is at VIH.
Latch Enable can be kept Low (also at board level)
when the Latch Enable function is not required or
supported.
Flash Clock (KF). The clock input synchronizes
the Flash memory to the microcontroller during
synchronous read operations; the address is
latched on a Clock edge (rising or falling, acc ording to the configuration settings) when L atch Enable is at VIL. Clock is don't care during
asynchronous read and in write operations.
Flash Wait ( WAITF). Wait is a Flash output signal
used during synchronous read to indicate whether
the data on the output bus are valid. This output is
high impedance when Flash Chip Enable is at V
or Flash Reset is at VIL. It can be configured to be
active during the wait cycle or one clock cycle in
advance. The WAITF signal is not gated by Output
Enable.
SRAM Chip Enable (E1S

Flash Memory Component
The Flash memory is a 64 Mbit (4Mbit x16) nonvolatile Flash memory that may be erased electrically at block level and programmed in-system on
a Word-by-Word basis using a 1.65V to 2.2V V
supply for the circuitry and a 1.65V to 3.3V V
DD
DDQ
supply for the Input/Output pins. An optional 12V
V
power supply is provided to s peed up cus-
PPF
tomer programming.
The device features an asymmetr ical block archi-
tecture with an array of 135 blo cks divided into 4
Mbit banks. There are 15 banks each containing 8
main blocks of 32 KWords, and one parameter
bank containing 8 parameter blocks of 4 KWords
and 7 main blocks of 32 KWords. The Multiple
Bank Architecture allows Dual Operations, while
programming or erasing in one bank, Read operations are possible in other banks. Only one bank at
a time is allowed to be in Program or Erase mode.
It is possible to perform burst reads that cross
bank boundaries. The bank architecture is summarized in Table 3, and the memory maps are
shown in Figure 5. The Parameter Blocks are located at the top of t he m em ory ad dres s s pace f or
the M36WT864TF, and at the bottom for the
M36WT864BF.
Each block can be erased separately. Erase can
be suspended, in order to perform program in any
other block, and then resum ed. Program can be
suspended to read data in any other block and
then resumed. Each block can be programmed
and erased over 100,000 cycles using the supply
voltage V
. There are two Enhanced Factory
DD
programming commands available to speed up
programming.
Program and Erase command s are written to the
Command Interface of the memory. An internal
Program/Erase Controller takes care of the timings necessary for program and erase operations.
The end of a program or erase operation can be
detected and any error conditions identified in the
Status Register. The command set required to
control the memory is consistent with JEDEC standards.
The device supports synchronous burst read and
asynchronous read from all blocks of the me mory
array; at power-up the device is configured for
asynchronous read. In synchronous burst mode,
data is output on each clock cycle at frequencies
of up to 54MHz.
The device features an Aut oma tic Standby m ode.
During asynchronous read operations, after a bus
inactivity of 150ns, the device automatically
switches to the Automatic Standby m ode. In this
condition the power consumption is reduced to the
standby value I
and the outputs are still driven.
DD4
The Flash memory features an instant, individual
block locking scheme that allows any block to be
locked or unlocked with no latency, enabling instant code and data protection. All blocks have
three levels of protection. They can be locked and
locked-down individually preventing any accidental programming or erasure. There is an additional
hardware protection against program and erase.
When V
PPF
≤ V
all blocks are protected
PPLK
against program or erase. All blocks are locked at
Power- Up.
The device includes a Protection Re gister and a
Security Block to increase the protectio n of a s ystem’s design. The Protection Register is divided
into two segments: a 64 bit segment c ontaining a
unique device number written by ST, and a 128 bit
segment One-Time-Programmable (OTP) by the
user. The user programmable segment can be
permanently protected. The Security Block, parameter block 0, can be permanently protected by
the user. Figure 6, shows the Security Block and
Protection Register Memory Map.
SRAM Comp onent
The SRAM is an 8 Mbit (512Kb x16) asynchronous
random access memory which features a super
low voltage operation and low current consumption with an access time of 70ns. The memory operations can be performed using a single low
voltage supply, 2.7V to 3.3V.

FLASH BUS OPERATIONS
There are six standard bus operations that control
the Flash device. These are Bus Read, Bus Write,
Address Latch, Ou tput Disable, Standby and Reset. See Table 2, Main Operating Modes, 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 Write operations.
Bus Read. Bus Read operations are used to output the contents of the Memory Array, the Electronic Signature, the Status Register and the
Common Flash Interface. Both Chip Enable and
Output Enable must be at V
in order to perform a
IL
read operation. The Chip Enable input should be
used to enable the device. Out put Enable should
be used to gate data onto the output. The data
read depends on the previous command written to
the memory (see Command Interface section).
See Figures 11, 12, 13 and 14 Read AC Waveforms, and Tables 21 and 22 Read AC Characteristics, for details of when the output becomes
valid.
Bus Write. Bus Write operations write Commands to the memory or latch Input Data to be
programmed. A bus write operation is initiated
when Chip Enable and Write Enable are at V
Output Enable at V
. Commands, Input Data and

Addresses are latched on the rising edge of Write
Enable or Chip Enable, whichever occurs first. The
addresses can also be latched prior to the write
operation by toggling Latch E nable. In this case
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
the Latch Enable shoul d be t ied to V
bus write operation.
See Figures 16 and 17, Write AC Waveforms, and
Tables 23 and 24, Write AC Characteristics, for
details of the timing requirements.
Address Latch. Address latch operations input
valid addresses. Both Chip enable and Latch Enable must be at V
during address latch opera-
IL
tions. The addresses are latched on the rising
edge of Latch Enable.

FLASH 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. An internal Program/Erase Controller handles all timings and verifies the correct execution
of the Program and Erase commands. The Program/Erase Controller provides a Status Regi ster
whose output may be read at any ti me to monitor
the progress or the result of the operation.
The Command Interface is reset to read mode
when power is first applied, when exiting from Reset or whenever V
mand sequences must be followed exactly. Any
invalid combination of commands will reset the device to read mode.
Refer to Table 4, Command C odes and Appendix
D, Tables 44, 45, 46 and 47, Command I nterface
States - Modify and Lock Tables, for a summary of
the Command Interface.
The Command Interface is split into two type s of
commands: Standard commands and Factory
Program commands. The following sections explain in detail how to perform each command.

COMMAND INTERFACE - STANDARD COMMANDS
The following commands are the basic commands
used to read, write to and configure the device.
Refer to Table 5, Standard Commands, in conjunction with the following text descriptions.
Read Array Command
The Read Array command re turns the addressed
bank to Read Array mode. One Bus Write cycle is
required to issue the Read Array command and return the addressed bank to Read Array mode.
Subsequent read operations will read the addressed location and output t he data. A Read Array command can be issued in one bank while
programming or erasing in another bank. However
if a Read Array command is issued to a bank currently executing a Program or Erase operation the
command will be e xecuted but the output da ta is
not guaranteed.
Read Status Register Command
The Status Register indi cates when a Program or
Erase operation is complete and the success or
failure of operation itself. Issue a Read Status
Register command to read the Status Register
content. The Read Status Register com man d c an
be issued at any time, even during Program or
Erase operations.
The following read operations output the content
of the Status Register of the addressed bank. The
Status Register is latched on the falling edge of E
or G signals, and c an b e read until E or G returns
to V
. Either E or G must be toggled to update the
IH
latched data. See Table 8 for the description of the
Status Register Bits. This mode supports asynchronous or single synchronous reads only.
Read Electronic Signature Command
The Read Electronic Signature command reads
the Manufacturer and Device Codes, the Block
Locking Status, the Protection Register, and the
Configuration Register.
The Read Electronic Signature command consists
of one write cycle to an address within one o f the
banks. A subsequent Read ope ra tion in the sam e
bank will output the Manufacturer Code, the Device Code, the protection Status of the blocks in
the targeted bank, the Protection Register, or the
Configuration Register (see Table 6).
If a Read Electronic Signature command is issued
in a bank that is executing a Program or Erase operation the bank will go into Read Electronic Signature mode, subsequent Bus Read cycles will
output the Electronic Sign ature data an d the Program/Erase controller will continue t o program or
erase in the background. This mode supports
asynchronous or single synchronous reads only, it
does not support page mode or synchronous burst
reads.
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
Read CFI Query Command
The Read CFI Query command is used to read
data from the Common Flash Interface (CFI). The
Read CFI Query Command consists of one Bus
Write cycle, to an address within one of the banks.
Once the command is issued subsequent Bus
Read operations in the sam e bank read from the
Common Flash Interface.
If a Read CFI Query command is issued in a bank
that is executing a Program or Erase operation the
bank will go into Read CFI Query mo de, subsequent Bus Read cycles will output the CFI data
and the Program/Erase con troller will continue to
Program or Erase in the background. This m ode
supports asynchronous or single synchronous
reads only, it does not support page mode or synchronous burst reads.
The status of the other banks is not affected by the
command (see Table 11). After issuing a Read
CFI Query command, a Read Array command
should be issued to t he address ed bank to return
the bank to Read Array mode.
See Appendix C, Common Flash Interface, Tables
34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42 and 43 for details on
the information contained in the Common Flash Interface memory area.
Clear Status Register Command
The Clear Status Register comm and can be used
to reset (set to ‘0’) error bits 1, 3, 4 and 5 in the Status Register. One bus write cycle is required to issue the Clear Status Register command. After the
Clear Status Register command the bank returns
to read mode.
The error bits in the Status Regi ster do not automatically return to ‘0’ when a new command is issued. The error bits in the Status Register should
be cleared before attempting a new Program or
Erase command.
Block Erase Command
The Block Erase com mand can be used to erase
a block. It sets all the bits within the selected block
to ’1’. All previous data in the b lock is lost. If the
block is protected then the Erase operation will
abort, the data in the block will not be changed and
the Status Register will output the error. The Block
Erase command can be issued at any moment, regardless of whether the block has been programmed or not.
Two Bus Write cycles are required to issue the
command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Erase command.
■ The second latches the block address in the
internal state machine and starts the Program/
Erase Controller.

Once the command is issued the device outputs
the Status Register data when any address within
the bank is read. At the end o f the operation the
bank will remain in Read Status Register mode until a Read Array, Read CFI Query or Read Electronic Signature command is issued.
During Erase operations the bank containing the
block being erased will only accept the Read Array, Read Status Register, Read Electronic Signature, Read CFI Query and the Program/Erase
Suspend command, all other commands will be ignored. Refer to Dual Operations section for detailed information about simultaneous operations
allowed in banks not being e rased. Typical Erase
times are given in Table 14, Program, Erase
Times and Program/Erase Endurance Cycles.
See Appendix C, Figure 32, Block Erase Flowchart and Pseudo Code, for a suggested flowchart
for using the Block Erase command.
Bank Erase Command
The Bank Erase command can be used to erase a
bank. It sets all the bits within the selected bank to
’1’. All previous data in the bank is lost. The B ank
Erase command will igno re any protected blocks
within the bank. If all blocks in the bank are protected then the Bank Erase operation will abort
and the data in the bank wi ll not b e changed. The
Status Register will not output any error.
Two Bus Write cycles are required to issue the
command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Bank Erase
command.
■ The second latches the bank address in the
internal state machine and starts the Program/
Erase Controller.
If the second bus cycle is not Write Bank Erase
Confirm (D0h), Status Register bits SR4 and S R5
are set and the command aborts. Erase aborts if
Reset turns to V
. As data integrity cannot be
IL
guaranteed when the Erase operation is aborted,
the bank must be erased again.
Once the command is issued the device outputs
the Status Register data when any address within
the bank is read. At the end o f the operation the
bank will remain in Read Status Register mode until a Read A rray, Read CFI Query o r Read Electronic Signature command is issued.
During Bank Erase operations the bank being
erased will only accept the Read Array, Read Status Register, Read Electronic Signature and Read
CFI Query command, all other commands will be
ignored. A Bank Erase operation ca nnot be suspended.
Refer to Dual Operations section for detailed information about simultaneous operations allowed in
banks not being erased. Typical Erase times are
given in Table 14, Program, Erase Times and Program/Erase Endurance Cycles.
Program Command
The memory array can be programmed word-byword. Only one Word in one bank can be programmed at any one time. Two bus write cycles
are required to issue the Program Command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Program
command.
■ The second latches the Address and the Data to
be written and starts the Program/Erase
Controller.
After programming has started, read operations in
the bank being programmed output the Status
Register content.
During Program operations the bank being programmed will only accept the Read Array, Read
Status Register, Read Electronic Signature, Read
CFI Query and the Program/Erase Suspen d command. Refer to Dual Operations section for detailed information about simultaneous operations
allowed in banks not bei ng programmed. Typical
Program times are given in Table 14, Program,
Erase Times and Program/Erase Endurance Cycles .
Programming aborts if Reset goes to V
. As data
IL
integrity cannot be guaranteed when the program
operation is aborted, the memory location must be
reprogrammed.
See Appendix C, Figure 28, Program Flowchart
and Pseudo Code, for the f lowchart for using the
Program command.
Program/Erase Suspend Command
The Program/Erase Suspend command is used to
pause a Program or Block Erase operation. A
Bank Erase operation cannot be suspended.
One bus write cycle is required to issue the P rogram/Erase command. O nce the Program/Erase
Controller has paused bits SR7, SR6 and/ or SR2
of the Statu s Regist er will be s et to ‘1’. Th e command can be addressed to any bank.
During Program/Erase Suspend the Command Interface will accept the Program/Erase Resume,
Read Array (cannot read the suspended block),
Read Status Register, Read Electronic S ignature
and Read CFI Q uery commands. Additionally, if
the suspend operation was Erase then the Clear
status Register, Program, Block Lock, Block LockDown or Block Unlock commands will also be accepted. The block being erased may be protected
18/92
Page 19
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
by issuing the Block Lock, Block Lock-Down or
Protection Register Program commands. Only the
blocks not being erased may be read or programmed correctly. When the Program/Erase Resume command is issued the operation will
complete. Refer to the Dual Operations section for
detailed information about simultaneous operations allowed during Program/Erase Suspend.
During a Program/Erase Suspend, the device can
be placed in standby mode by taking Chip Enable
. Program/Erase is aborted if Reset turns to

.
IL
See Appendix C, Figure 31 , Program Suspend &
Resume Flowchart and Pseudo Code, and Figure
33, Erase Suspend & Resume Flowchart and
Pseudo Code for flowcharts for using the Program/
Erase Suspend command.
Program/Erase Resume Command
The Program/Erase Resume command can be
used to restart the Program/Erase Controller after
a Program/Erase Suspen d command has paused
it. One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the
command. The command can be written to any
address.
The Program/Erase R esume command d oes not
change the read m ode of the banks. If the s uspended bank was in Read Status Register, Read
Electronic signature or Read CFI Query mode the
bank remains in that m ode and outputs the corresponding data. If the bank was in Read Array
mode subsequent read operations will output invalid data.
If a Program command is issued during a Block
Erase Suspend, then the erase cannot be resumed until the programming operation has completed. It is possible to accumulate suspend
operations. For example: suspend an eras e operation, start a programming operation, suspend the
programming operation then read the array. See
Appendix C, Figure 31, Program Susp end & Resume Flowchart and Pseudo Code, and Figure 33,
Erase Suspend & Resume Flowchart and Pseudo
Code for flowcharts for using the Program/Erase
Resume command.
Prot e ction R e gister P rogram C om m and
The Protection Register Program command is
used to Program the 128 bit user O ne-Time-Programmable (OTP) segment of the Protection Register and the Protection Register Lock. The
segment is programmed 16 bits at a time. When
shipped all bits in the segment are set to ‘1’. The
user can only program the bits to ‘0’.
Two write cycles are required to issue the Protection Register Program command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Protection
Register Program command.
■ The second latches the Address and the Data to
be written to the Protection Register and starts
the Program/Erase Controller.
Read operations output the Status Register content after the programming has started.
The segment can be protected by programming bit
1 of the Protection Lock Register. Bit 1 of the Protection Lock Register also protects bit 2 of the Protection Lock Register. Programming bit 2 of the
Protection Lock Register will result in a permanent
protection of Parameter B lock #0 (see Figure 6,
Security Block and Protection Register Memory
Map). Attempting to program a previously protected Protection Register will result in a Status Register error. The protection of the Protection
Register and/or the Security Block is not reversible.
The Protection Register Program cannot be suspended. See Appendix C, Figure 35, Protection
Register Program Flowchart and Pseudo Code,
for a flowchart for using the Protection Register
Program command.
Set Configuration Regi s te r C om m and.
The Set Configuration Register command is used
to write a new value to the Burst Configuration
Control Register which defines the burst length,
type, X latency, Synchronous/Asynchronous Read
mode and the valid Clock edge configuration.
Two Bus Writ e cycle s are required to issue th e Se t
Configuration Register command.
■ The first cycle writes the setup command and
the address corresponding to the Configuration
Register content.
■ The second cycle writes the Configuration
Register data and the confirm command.
Once the command is issued the memory returns
to Read mode.
The value for the Configuration Register is always
presented on A0-A15. CR0 is on A0, C R1 on A1,
etc.; the other address bits are ignored.
Block Lock Command
The Block Lock command is used to lock a block
and prevent Program or Erase operations from
changing the data in it. All blocks are locked at
power-up or reset.
Two Bus Write cycles are required to issue the
Block Lock command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Block Lock
command.
■ The second Bus Write cycle latc hes the blo ck
address.
The lock status can be monitored for each block
using the Read Electronic Signature command.
Table. 13 shows the Lock Status after issuing a
Block Lock command.
19/92

M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
The Block Lock bits are volatile, once set they remain set until a hardware reset or power-down/
power-up. They are cleared by a Block Unlock
command. Refer to the section, Block Locking, for
a detailed explanation. See Appendix C, Figure
34, Locking Operations Flowchart and Pseudo
Code, for a flowchart for using the Lock command.
Block Unlock Command
The Block Unlock command is used to unlock a
block, allowing the block to be programmed or
erased. Two Bus Write cycles are requ ired to issue the Block Unlock command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Block Unlock
command.
■ The second Bus Write cycle latc hes the blo ck
address.
The lock status can be monitored for each block
using the Read Electronic Signature command.
Table 13 shows the protection status after issuing
a Block Unlock command. Refer to the section,
Block Locking, for a detailed expla nation and A ppendix C, Figure 34, Locking Operations Flowchart and Pseudo Code, f or a flowchart for using
the Unlock command.
Block Lock-Down Command
A locked or unlocked block can be locked-down by
issuing the Block Lock-Down command. A lockeddown block cannot be programm ed or erased, or
have its protection status changed when WP
low, V
. When WP is high, V
IL
the Lock-Down

is
function is disabled and the lock ed blocks can be
individually unlocked by the Block Unlock command.
Two Bus Write cycles are required to issue the
Block Lock-Down command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Block Lock
command.
■ The second Bus Write cycle latc hes the blo ck
address.
The lock status can be monitored for each block
using the Read Electronic Signature command.
Locked-Down blocks revert to the locked (and not
locked-down) state when the device is reset on
power-down. Table. 13 shows the Lo ck Statu s after issuing a Block Lock-Down command. Refer to
the section, Block Locking, for a detailed explanation and Appendix C, Fi gure 34, Locking Operations Flowchart and Pseudo Code, for a flowchart

Three bus write cycles are necessary to issue the
Double Word Program command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Double Word
Program Command.
■ The second bus cycle latches the Address and
the Data of the first word to be written.
■ The third bus cycle latches the Address and the
Data of the second word to be written and starts
the Program/Erase Controller.
Read operations in the bank bei ng programmed
output the Status Register content after the programming has started.
During Double Word Program operations the bank
being programmed will only ac cept the Read Array, Read Status Register, Read Electronic Signature and Read CFI Query command, all other
commands will be ignored. Dual operations are
not supported during Double Word Program operations and it is not recommended to suspend a
Double Word Program operation. Typical Program
times are given in Table 14, Program, Erase
Times and Program/Erase Endurance Cycles.
Programming aborts if Reset goe s to V

During Quadruple Word Program operations the
bank being programmed will only accept the Read
Array, Read Status Register, Read Electronic Signature and Read CFI Query command, all other
commands will be ignored.
Dual operations are not supported during Quadruple Word Program operations and it is not recommended to suspend a Quadrupl e Word Program
operation. Typical Program times are given in Table 14, Program, Erase Times and Program/Erase
Endurance Cycles.
See Appendix C, Figure 30, Quadruple Word Program Flowchart and Pseudo Code, for the flowchart for using the Quadruple Word Program
command.
Enhanced Factory Program Command
The Enhanced Factory Program command can be
used to program large streams of dat a within any
one block. It greatly reduces the total programming time when a large number of Words are written to a block at any one time.
The use of the Enha nced Factory Program command requires certain operating conditions.

limit is exceeded the in ternal algorithm will cont inue to work properly but some degradation in performance is possible. Typical Program times are
given in Table 14.
The Enhanced Factory Program command has
four phases: the Setup Phase, the Program Phase
to program the data to the memory, the Verify
Phase to check that the data has been correctly
programmed and reprogram if necessary a nd the
Exit Phase. Refer to Table 7, Enhanced Factory
Program Command and Figure 36, Enhanced
Factory Program Flowchart.
Setup Phase. The Enhanced Factory Program
command requires two Bus Write operations to initiate the command.
■ The first bus cycle sets up the Enhanced
Factory Program command.
■ The second bus cycle confirms the command.
The Status Register P/E.C. Bit 7 should be read to
check that the P/E.C. is ready. After the confirm
command is issued, read operations output the
Status Register data. The read Status Register
command must not be issued as it will be
interpreted as data to program.
Program Phase. The Program Phase requires
n+1 cycles, wh ere n is the n umber of Words (refer
to Table 7, Enhanced Factory Program Command
and Figure 36, Enhanced Factory Program Flowchar t).
Three successive steps are required to issue and
execute the Program Phase of the command.
1. Use one Bus Write operation to latch the Start
Address and the first Word to be programmed.
The Status Register Bank Write Status bit SR0
should be read to check that the P/E.C. is ready
for the next Word.
2. Each subsequent Word to be programmed is
latched with a new Bus Write operation. The
address can either remain the Start Address, in
which case the P/E.C. increments the address
location or the address can be incremented in
which case the P/E.C. jumps to the new
address. If any address that is not in the same
block as the Start Address is given with data
FFFFh, the Program Phase terminates and the
Verify Phase begins. The Status Register bit
SR0 should be read between each Bus Write
cycle to check that the P/E.C. is ready for the
next Word.
3. Finally, after all Words have been programmed,
write one Bus Write operation with data FFFFh
to any address outside the bloc k contain ing the
Start Address, to terminate the programming
phase. If the data is not FFFFh, the command is
ignored.
The memory is now set to enter the Verify Phase.
Verify Phase. Th e Verify Phase is sim ilar to the
Program Phase in that all Words must be resent to
the memory for them to be che cked against the
programmed data. The Program/Erase Controller
checks the stream of da ta with the data that was
programmed in the Program Phase and reprograms the memory location if necessary.
Three successive steps are required to execute
the Verify Phase of the command.
1. Use one Bus Write operation to latch the Start
Address and the first Word, to be verified. The
Status Register bit SR0 should be read to check
that the Program/Erase Controller is ready for
the next Word.
2. Each subsequent Word to be verified is latched
with a new Bus Write operation. The Words
must be written in the same order as in the
Program Phase. The address can remain the
Start Address or be incremented. If any address
that is not in the same block as the Start
Address is given, the Verify Phase terminates.
Status Register bit SR0 should be read to check
that the P/E.C. is ready for the next Word.
3. Finally, after all Words have been verified, write
one Bus Write operation with data FFFFh to any
address outside the block containing the Start
Address, to terminate the Verify Phase.
If the Verify Phase is successfully completed the
memory returns to the Read mode. If the Pr ogram/
Erase Controller fails to reprogram a given location, the error will be signaled in the Status Register.
Exit Phase. Status Register P/E.C. bit SR7 set to
‘1’ indicates that the device has ret urned to Read
mode. A full Status Register check should be done
to ensure that the block has been successfully programmed. See the s ect ion on the Status Register
for more details.
Quadruple Enhanced Factory Program
Command
The Quadruple Enhanced Factory Program command can be used to program one or more pages
of four adjacent words in parallel. The four words
must differ only for the addresses A0 and A1. V
must be set to V
during Quadruple Enhanced
PPH
PPF
Factory Program.
It has four phases: the Setup Phase, the Load
Phase where the data is loaded into the buffer, the
combined Program and Verify Phase where the
loaded data is programmed to the memory and
then automatically checked and reprogrammed if
necessary and the Exit Phase. Unlike the Enhanced Factory Program it is not necess ary to resubmit the data for the Verify Phase. The Load
Phase and the Program and Verify Phas e can be
repeated to program any number of pag es within
the block.
24/92
Page 25
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
Setup Phase. The Q uadruple Enhan ced F actory
Program command requires one Bus Write operation to initiate the load phase. After the setup
command is issued, read operations output the
Status Register data. Th e Read Status Register
command must not be issued as it will be
interpreted as data to program.
Load Phase. The Loa d Phase requires 4 cycles
to load the data (refer to Table 7, Factory Program
Commands and Figure 37, Qu adruple Enhanced
Factory Program Flowchart). Once the first Word
of each Page is written it is impossible to exit the
Load phase until all four Words have been written.
Two successive steps are required to issue and
execute the Load Phase of the Quadruple Enhanced Factory Program command.
1. Use one Bus Write operation to latch the Start
Address and the first Word of the first Page to
be programmed. For subsequent Pages the first
Word address can remain the Start Address (in
which case the next Page is programmed) or
can be any address in the same block. If any
address is given that is not in the same block as
the Start Address, the device enters the Exit
Phase. For the first Load Phase Status Register
bit SR7 should be read after the first Word has
been issued to check that the command has
been accepted (bit 7 set to ‘0’). This check is not
required for subsequent Load Phases. Status
Register bit SR0 should be read to check that
the P/E.C. is ready for the next Word.
2. Each subsequent Word to be programmed is
latched with a new Bus Write operation. The
address is only checked for the first Word of
each Page as the order of the Words to be
programmed is fixed. The Status Register bit
SR0 should be read between each Bus Write
cycle to check that the P/E.C. is ready for the
next Word.
The memory is now set to enter the Program and
Verify Phas e .
Program and Verify Phase. In the Program and
Verify Phase the four Words that were loaded in
the Load Phase are programmed in the memory
array and then verified by the Program/Erase Controller. If any errors are found the Program/Erase
Controller reprograms the location. During this
phase the Status Register shows that the Program/Erase Controller is busy, Status Register bit
SR7 set to ‘0’, and that the device is not waiting for
new data, Status Register bit SR0 set to ‘1’. When
Status Register bit SR0 is set t o ‘0’ the Program
and Verify phase has terminated.
Once the Verify Phase has successfully completed subsequent pages i n the same block can be
loaded and programmed. The device returns to
the beginning of the Load Phase by issuing one
Bus Write operation to latch the Addres s and the
first of the four new Words to be programmed.
Exit Phase. Finally, after all the pages have been
programmed, write one Bus Write operation with
data FFFFh to any address outside the block containing the Start Address, to terminate the Load
and Program and Verify Phases.
If the Program and Verify Phase has successfully
completed the memory returns to Read m ode. If
the P/E.C. fails to program and reprogram a given
location, the error will be signaled in the Status
Register.
Status Register bit SR7 set to ‘1’ and bit 0 set to ‘0’
indicate that the device has returned to Read
mode. A full Status Register check should be done
to ensure that the block has been successfully programmed. See the s ect ion on the Status Register
for more details.

FLASH STATUS REGISTER
The Flash memory contains a Status Register
which provides information on the current or previous Program or Erase operations. Issue a Read
Status Register command to read the contents of
the Status Register, refer to Read Status Register
Command section for more details. To output the
contents, the Status Register is latched and updated on the falling edge of the Chip Enable or Output
Enable signals and can be read until Chip Enable
or Output Enable returns t o V
. The Status Reg-
IH
ister can only be read using single asynchronous
or single synchronous reads. Bus Read operations from any address within the bank, always
read the Status Register during Program and
Erase operations.
The various bits convey information about the status and any errors of the operation. Bits SR7, SR6,
SR2 and SR0 give information on the status of the
device and are set and reset by the device. Bits
SR5, SR4, SR3 and SR1 give inform ation on errors, they are set by the device but must be reset
by issuing a Clear Status Register command or a
hardware reset. If an error bit is set to ‘1’ the Status
Register should be reset before issuing another
command. SR7 to SR1 refer to the status of the
device while SR0 refers to the status of the addressed bank.
The bits in the Status Register are summarized in
Table 8, Status Register Bits. Refer to Table 8 in
conjunction with the following text descriptions.
Program/Erase Controller Status Bit (SR7).
The Program/Erase Controller Status bit indicates
whether the Program/Erase Con troller is active or
inactive in any bank. When the Program/Erase
Controller Status bit is Low (set to ‘0’), the Program/Erase Controller is active; when the bit is
High (set to ‘1’), the Program/Erase Controller is
inactive, and the device is ready to process a new
command.
The Program/Erase Controller Status is Low immediately after a Program/Erase Suspend command is issued until the Program/Erase Controller
pauses. After the Program/Erase Controller pauses the bit is High.
During Program, Erase, operations the Program/
Erase Controller Status bit can be polled to find the
end of the operation. Other bits in the Status Register should not be tested until the Program/Erase
Controller completes the operation and the bit is
High.
After the Program/Erase Cont roller completes its
operation the Erase Status, Program Status, V
PPF
Status and Block Lock Status bits should be tested
for errors.
Erase Suspend Status Bit (SR6). The Erase
Suspend Status bit indicates that an Erase opera-
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
tion has been suspended or is going to be suspended in the addressed block. When the Eras e
Suspend Status bit is High (set to ‘1’), a Program/
Erase Suspend command has been issued and
the memory is waiting for a Program/Erase Resume command.
The Erase Suspend Status should only be considered valid when the Program/Erase Controller Status bit is High (Program/Erase Controller inactive).
SR7 is set within the Erase Suspend Latency time
of the Program/Erase Suspend command being
issued therefore the memory may still complete
the operation rather than entering the Suspend
mode.
When a Program/Erase Re sume command is issued the Erase Suspend Status bit returns Low.
Erase Status Bit (SR5). The Erase Status bit
can be used to identify if the memory has failed to
verify that the block or bank has erased correctly.
When the Erase Status b it is High (set to ‘1’), the
Program/Erase Controller has applied the maximum number of pulses to the block or bank and
still failed to verify that it has erased correctly. The
Erase Status bit should be read once the Program/
Erase Controller Status bit is High (Program/Erase
Controller inactive).
Once set High, the Erase Status bit can only be reset Low by a Clear Status Register command or a
hardware reset. If set High it should be reset before a new Program or Erase command is issued,
otherwise the new command will appear to fail.
Program Status Bit (SR4). The Program Status
bit is used to identify a Program f ailure. Wh en t he
Program Status bit is High (set to ‘1’), the Program/Erase Controller has applied the maximum
number of pulses to the byte and still failed to verify that it has programmed correctly. The Program
Status bit should be read once the Program/Erase
Controller Status bit is High (Program/Erase Controller inactive).
Once set High, the Program Status bit can only be
reset Low by a Clear Status Register command or
a hardware reset. If set High it should be reset before a new command is issued, otherwise the new
command will appear to fail.

Program Suspend Status Bit (SR2). The Program Suspend Status bit indicates that a Program
operation has been suspended in the addressed
block. When the Program Suspend Status bit is
High (set to ‘1’), a Program/Erase Suspend command has been issued and the memory is waiting
for a Program/Erase Resume command. The Program Suspend Status should only be considered
valid when the Program/Erase Controller Status

SR2 is set within the Program Suspend Latency
time of the Program/Erase Suspend command being issued therefore the memory may still complete the operation rather than entering the

When a Program/Erase Re sume command is issued the Program Suspend Status bit returns Low.
Block Protection Status Bit (SR1). The Block
Protection Status bit can be used to identify if a

The Bank Write Status bit should only be considered valid when the Pro gr a m/Erase Controller Status SR7 is Low (set to ‘0’).
When both the Pro gra m/Erase Controller Status bit
and the Bank Write Status bit are Low (set to ‘0’),
the addressed bank is executing a Program or

Write Status bit is High (set to ‘1’), a Program or
Erase operation is being executed in a bank other
than the one being addressed.
In Enhanced Factory Program mode if Multiple
Word Program Status bit is Low (set to ‘0’), the device is ready for the next Word, if the Multiple Word
Program Status bit is High (set to ‘1’) the device is
not ready for the next Word.

FLASH CONFIGURATION REGISTER
The Flash memory contains a Configuration Register which is used to configure the type of bus access that the m em ory w ill pe rform . Ref er to Rea d
Modes section for details on read operations.
The Configuration Register is set through the
Command Interface. After a Reset or Power-Up
the device is configured for asynchronous page
read (CR15 = 1). The Configu ration Register bits
are described in Table 9. They spe cify the selection of the burst length, burst type, burst X latency
and the Read operation. Refer to Figures 7 and 8
for examples of synchronous burst configurations.
Read Select Bit (CR15)
The Read Select bit, CR15, is used to switch between asynchronous an d sync hronous B us Read
operations. When the Read Se lect bit is s et to ’1’,
read operations are asynchronous; when the
Read Select bit is set to ’0’, read operations are
synchronous. Synchronous Burst Read is supported in both parameter and main blocks and can be
performed across banks.
On reset or power-up the Read Sel ect bit is set
to’1’ for asynchronous access.
X-Latency Bits (CR13-CR11)
The X-Latency bits are used during Synchronous
Read operations to set the number of clock cycles
between the address bei ng latched and the first
data becoming available. For correct operation the
X-Latency bits can only assume the values in Table 9, Configuration Register.
The correspondence be tween X-Latency settings
and the maximum sustainable freq uency must be
calculated taking into account some system parameters. Two conditions must be satisfied:
1. Depending on whether t

Configuration Example.
Wait Polarity Bit (CR10)
In synchronous burst mode the W ait signal indicates whether the output data are valid or a WAIT
state must be inserted. The Wait Polarity bit is
used to set the po larity of the Wait signal. When
the Wait Polarity bit is set to ‘0’ the Wait signal is
active Low. When the Wait P ola rity bit is set to ‘ 1’
the Wait signal is active High (default).
Data Output Configuration Bit (CR9)
The Data Output Configuration bit determines
whether the output remains valid for one or two
clock cycles. When the Data Output Configuration
Bit is ’0’ the output data is valid for one clock cycle,
when the Data Output Configuration Bit is ’1’ the
output data is valid for two clock cycles.
The Data Output Configuration depends on the
condition:

is the data
KQV
is the clock to data valid time. If this condition is not
satisfied, the Data Output Configuration bit should
be set to ‘1’ (two clock cycles). Refer to Figure 7,
X-Latency and Data Output Configuration Example.
Wait Confi guration Bit (C R 8)
In burst mode the Wait bit controls the timing of the
Wait output pin, WAIT. When the Wait bit is ’0’ the
Wait output pin is asserted during the wait s tate.
When the Wait bi t is ’1’ (default) the W ait output
pin is asserted one clock cycle before the wait
state.
WAIT is asserted during a continuous burst and
also during a 4 or 8 burst length if no-wrap configuration is selected. WAIT is not asserted during
asynchronous reads, single synchronous reads or
during latency in synchronous reads.
Burst Type Bit (CR7)
The Burst Type bit is used to configure the sequence of addres ses read as sequential or interleaved. When the Burst Type bit is ’0’ the memory
outputs from interleaved addresses; when the
Burst Type bit is ’1’ (default) the memory outputs
from sequential addresses. Se e Tables 10, Burst
Type Definition, for the sequence of addresses
output from a given starting address in each mode.
Valid Clock Edge Bit (CR6)
The Valid Clock Edge bit, CR6, is used to configure the active edge of the Clock, K, during Synchronous Burst Read operations. When the Valid
Clock Edge bit is ’0’ the falling edge of the Clock is
30/92
Page 31
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
the active edge; when the V alid Clock Edge bit is
’1’ the rising edge of the Clock is active.
Wrap Burst Bit (CR3)
The burst reads can be confined inside the 4 or 8
Word boundary (wrap) or overcome the boundary
(no wrap). The Wrap Burst bit is used to select between wrap and no wrap. When the Wrap Burst bit
is set to ‘0’ the burst read wraps; when it is set to
‘1’ the burst read does not wrap.
Burst length Bits (CR2-CR0)
The Burst Length bits se t the n umb er of Words t o
be output during a Synchronous Burst Read operation as result of a single address latch cycle.
They can be set for 4 words, 8 words or continuous burst, where all the words are read sequentially.
In continuous burst mode the burs t sequ ence c an
cross bank boundaries.
In continuous burst mode or in 4, 8 words no-wrap,
depending on the starting add ress, the dev ice asserts the WAIT output to i ndicate that a delay is
necessary before the data is output.
If the starting address is aligned to a 4 word
boundary no wait states are needed and the WAIT
output is not asserted.
If the starting address is shifted by 1,2 or 3 positions from the four word boundary, WAIT will be
asserted for 1, 2 or 3 clock cycles when the burst
sequence crosses the first 64 word b oundary, to
indicate that the device needs an internal delay to
read the successive words in the array. WAIT will
be asserted only once during a continuous burst
access. See also Table 10, Burst Type Definition.
CR14, CR5 and CR4 are reserved for future use.

FLASH READ MODES
Flash Read operations can be performe d in two
different ways depending on the settings in the
Configuration Register. If the clock signal is ‘don’t
care’ for the data output, the read operation is
Asynchronous; if the data output is synchronized
with clock, the read operation is Synchronous.
The Read mode and data output format are determined by the Configuration Register. (See Configuration Register section for details). All banks
supports both asynchronous and synchronous
read operations. The Multiple Bank architecture
allows read operations in one bank, while write operations are being executed in anoth er (see Tables 11 and 12).
Asynchronous Read Mode
In Asynchronous Read operations the clock signal
is ‘don’t care’. The device outpu ts the dat a corresponding to the address latched, that is the mem ory array, Status Register, Common Flash
Interface or Electronic Signature depending on the
command issued. CR15 in the Configuration Register must be set to ‘1’ for Asynchronous operations .
In Asynchronous Read mode a Page of data is internally read and stored in a Page Buffer. The
Page has a size of 4 Words and is addressed by
A0 and A1 address inputs. The address inputs A0
and A1 are not gated by Latch Enable in Asynchronous Read mode.
The first read operation within the Page has a
longer access time (T
, Random access time),
acc
subsequent reads within the same Page have
much shorter access times. If the Page changes
then the normal, longer timings apply again.
Asynchronous Read operations can be performed
in two different ways, Asynchronous Random Access Read and Asynchronous Page Read. Only
Asynchronous Page Read takes full advant age of
the internal page s torage so different t imings are
applied.
See Table 21, Asynchronous Read AC Characteristics, Figure 11, Asynchronous Random Access
Read AC Waveform and Figure 12, Asynchronous
Page Read AC Waveform for details.
Synchron ous Burst Read Mode
In Synchronous Burst Read mode t he data is output in bursts synchronized with the clock. It is possible to perform burst reads across bank
boundaries.
Synchronous Burst Read mode can onl y be used
to read the memory array. For other read operations, such as Read Status Register, Read CFI
and Read Electronic Signature, Single Synchronous Read or Asynchronous Random Access
Read must be used.
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
In Synchronous Burst Read mode the flow o f the
data output depends on param eters that are configured in the Configuration Register.
A burst sequence is started at t he first clock e dge
(rising or falling depending on Valid Clock Edge bit
CR6 in the Configuration Register) after the falling
edge of Latch Enable. Addresses are internally incremented and after a delay of 2 to 5 clock cycles
(X latency bits CR13-CR11) the corresponding
data are output on each clock cycle.
The number of Words to be out put during a Synchronous Burst Read operation can be configured
as 4 or 8 Words or Continuous (Burst Length bits
CR2-CR0). The data can be configured to remain
valid for one or two clock cycles (Data Output Configur a tion bi t C R9).
The order of the data output can be modified
through the Burst Type and the Wrap Burst bits in
the Configuration Register. The burst sequence
may be configured to be seq uential or i nterleaved
(CR7). The burst reads can be confined inside the
4 or 8 Word boundary (Wrap) or overcome the
boundary (No Wrap). If the starting address is
aligned to a 4 Word Page the wrapped configuration has no impact on the output sequence. In terleaved mode is not allowed in Continuous B urst
Read mode or with No Wrap sequences.
A WAIT signal may be asserted to ind icate to the
system that an output delay will occur. This delay
will depend on the starting address of the burst sequence; the worst case delay will occur w hen the
sequence is crossing a 64 word boundary and the
starting address was at the end of a four word
boundary.
WAIT is asserted during X latency and the Wait
state and is only deasserted when output data are
valid. In Continuous Burst Read mode a Wait state
will occur w hen crossing the first 6 4 W ord boundary. If the burst starting address is aligned to a 4
Word Page, the Wait state will not occur.
The WAIT signal can be configured to be active
Low or active High (default) by setting CR10 in the
Configuration Register. The WAIT signal is meaningful only in Synchronous Burst Read mode, in
other modes, WAIT is always asserted (except for
Read Array mode).
See Table 22, Synchronous Read AC Characteristics and Figure 13, Synchronous Burst Read AC
Waveform for details.
Single Synchronous Read Mo de
Single Synchronous Read op erations are similar
to Synchronous Burst Read operations except that
only the first data output after the X latency is valid.
Other Configuration Register parameters have no
effect on Single Synchronous Read operations.
35/92
Page 36
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
Synchronous Single Reads are used to read the
Electronic Signature, S tatus Register, CFI, Block
Protection Status, Configuration Register Status
or Protection Register. When t he add ressed bank
is in Read CFI, Read Status Register or Read
Electronic Signature mode, the WAIT signal is always asserted.
See Table 22, Synchronous Read AC Characteristics and Figure 14, Single Synchronous Read AC
Waveform for details.
FLASH DUAL OPERATIONS AND MULTIPLE BANK ARCHITECTURE
The Multiple Bank Architecture of the Flash memory provides flexibility for software developers by
allowing code and data to be split with 4Mbit granularity. The Dual Operations feature sim plifies the
software management of the device and allows
code to be executed from on e bank whil e another
bank is being programmed or erased.
The Dual operations feature means that while programming or erasing in one bank, Read operations are possible in another bank with zero
latency (only one bank at a time is allowed to be in
Program or Erase mode). If a Read operation is required in a bank which is programming or erasing,
the Program or Erase operation can be s uspend-
then a Program command can be issued to another block, so the device can have one block in
Erase Suspend mode, one programm ing and other banks in Read mode. Bus Read operations are
allowed in another bank between setup an d confirm cycles of program or erase operations. The
combination of these features means that read operations are possible at any moment.
Tables 11 and 12 show the dual operations possible in other banks and in the same bank. Note that
only the commonly used commands are represented in these table s. For a c om plete l ist of possible commands refer to Appendix D, Command
Interface State Tables.

The Flash memory features an instant, individual
block locking scheme that allows any block to be
locked or unlocked with no latency. This locking
scheme has three levels of protection.
■ Lock/Unlock - this first level allows software-
only control of block locking.
■ Lock-Down - this second level requires
hardware interaction before locking can be
changed.
■ V
PPF
≤ V
- the third level offers a complete
PPLK
hardware protection against program and erase
on all blocks.
The protection status of each block can be set to
Locked, Unlocked, and Lock-Down. Table 13, defines all of the possible protection states (WP
DQ1, DQ0), and Appendi x C, Figure 34, shows a
flowchart for the locking operations.
Reading a Block’s Lock Status
The lock status of every block can be read in the
Read Electronic Signature mode of the device. To
enter this mode write 90h t o the device. Subsequent reads at the addres s specified in Table 6,
will output the p rotectio n status of that block. The
lock status is represented by DQ0 and DQ1. DQ 0
indicates the Block Lock/Unlock s tatus and is set
by the Lock comm and and cleared by the Unlock
command. It is also autom atically set when en tering Lock-Down. DQ1 indicates the Lock-Down status and is set by the Lock-Down command. It
cannot be cleared by software, only by a hardware
reset or power-down.
The following sections explain the operation of the
locking system.
Locked State
The default status of all blocks on power-up or after a hardware reset is Locked (states (0,0,1) or
(1,0,1)). Locked blocks are fully protected from
any program or erase. Any program or erase operations attempted on a locked block will return an
error in the Status Register. The Status of a
Locked block can be changed to Unlocked or
Lock-Down using the appropriate software commands. An Unlocked block can be Locked by issuing the Lock command.
Unlocked State
Unlocked blocks (states (0,0,0), (1,0,0) (1,1,0)),
can be programmed or erased. All unlocked
blocks return to the Locked state a ft er a hardware
reset or when the device is powered-down. The
status of an unlocked block can be changed to
M36WT864TF, M36WT864BF
Locked or Locked-Down using the appropriate
software commands. A locked block can be unlocked by issuing the Unlock command.
Lock-Down State
Blocks that are Locked-Down (state (0,1,x))are
protected from program and erase operations (as
for Locked blocks) but their protection status cannot be changed using software comma nds alone.
A Locked or Unlocked block can be Locked-Down
by issuing the Lock-Down command. LockedDown blocks revert to the Locked state when the
device is reset or powered-down.
The Lock-Down function is depen dent on the WP
input pin. When WP=0 (VIL), the blocks in the
Lock-Down state (0,1,x) are protected from program, erase and protection status changes. When
,
=1 (VIH) the Lock-Down function is disabled
WP
(1,1,x) and Locked-Down blocks can be individually unlocked to the (1,1,0) state by issuing the software command, where they can be erased and
programmed. These blocks can then be re-locked
(1,1,1) and unlocked (1,1,0) as desired while WP
remains high. When WP is low , blocks that were
previously Locked-Down return to the Lock-Down
state (0,1,x) regardless of any changes made
while WP
was high. Device reset or power-down
resets all blocks , including those in Lock-Down, to
the Locked state.
Locking Operations During Erase Suspend
Changes to block lock status can be performed
during an erase suspend by using the standard
locking command sequences to unlock, lock or
lock-down a block. This is useful in the case when
another block needs to be updated while an erase
operation is in progress.
To change block locking during an erase operation, first write the Erase Suspend command, then
check the status register until it indicates that the
erase operation has been suspended. Next write
the desired Lock com mand sequence to a block
and the lock status will be changed. After completing any desired lock, read, or program operations,
resume the erase operation with the Erase Resume command.
If a block is locked or l ocked-down during an erase
suspend of the same block, the locking status bits
will be changed immediately, b ut when the erase
is resumed, the erase operation will complete.
Locking operations cannot be performed du ring a
program suspend. Refer to Appendix , Comm and
Interface State Table, for detailed information on
which commands are valid during erase suspend.
Note: 1. The lock status is defined by the write protect pin and by DQ1 (‘1’ for a locked-down block) and DQ0 (‘1’ for a locked block) as read
in the Read El ectronic Si gnature command with A1 = V
2. All blocks ar e l ocked at power-up, so the default con figuration i s 001 or 101 according to WP
transition to VIH on a locked block will restore the previous DQ0 value, giving a 111 or 110.

SRAM OPERATIONS
There are five standard operations that control the
SRAM component. These are Bus Read, Bus
Write, Standby/Power-down, Data Retention and
Output Disable. A summary is shown in Table 2,
Main Operation Modes
Read. Read operations are used to output the
contents of the SRAM Array. The data is output either by x8 (DQ0-DQ7) or x16 (DQ0-DQ15) depending on which of the LBS
enabled. The SRAM is in Read mode whenever
Chip Enable, E2S, and Write Enable, WS
V
, and Output Enable, GS, and Chip Enable E1S
IH
are at VIL.
Valid data will be available on the output pins after
a time of t
after the last stable address. If the
AVQV
Chip Enable or Output Enable ac cess times are
not met, data access will be measured fro m the
limiting parameter (t
ELQV

and t

Write. Write o perations are used to write data to
the SRAM. The SRAM is in Write mode whenever
Write Enable, WS
, and Chip Enable, E2S, is at VIH.
V
IL
, and Chip Enable, E1S, are at
Either the Chip Enable input, E1S
able input, WS
, must be deasserted during ad-
dress transitions for subsequent write cycles.
A Write operation is initiated when E1S
E2S is at V
and WS is at VIL. When UBS or LBS
IH
are Low, the data is latch ed on the falling edge of
E1S
, or WS, whichever occurs first.When UBS or

LBS are High, the data is latched on the falling
edge of UBS
, or LBS , whichever occurs first.
The Write cycle is terminated on the ri sing edge of
E1S

If the Output is enabled (E1S
GS
=V
and UBS=LBS=VIL), then WS will return
IL
the outputs to high imped ance within t
=VIL, E2S=VIH,
of its
WLQZ
falling edge. Care must be taken to avoid bus contention in this type of operation. The Data input
must be valid for t

(see Table 27, Figure 22, 23 and 24).
Standby/Power-Down . The SRAM component
has a chip enabled power-down feature wh ich invokes an automatic standby mode (see Table 26,
Figure 19). The SRAM is in Standby mode whenever either Chip Enable is deasserted, E1S
at V
IH
or E2S at VIL.
Data Retention. The SRAM data retention per-
formances as V

current mode is entered when E1S

–0.2V
controlled data retention mode, m inimum st andby
current mode is entered when E2S ≤ 0.2V.
Output Disa bl e . The SRAM is in the output disable state when GS
and WS are both at VIH, refer
to Table 2 for more details.

APPENDIX B. FLASH COMMON FLASH INTERFACE
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 t iming parameters, density
information and functions supported by the memory. The system can interface easily with the device, enabling the software to upgrade itself when
necessary.
When the Read CFI Query Command is issued
the device enters CFI Query mode and the data
structure is read from the memory. Tables 34, 35,

00hReservedReserved for algorithm-specific information

Note: T he Flas h m emory di splay the CFI data structure when C F I Query command i s issued . In this table are liste d the mai n sub-sect i ons
detailed in Tables 35, 36, 37, 38, 40 and 1. Query data is always presented on the lowest or der data outputs.
36, 37, 38, 40 and 1 show th e addresses used to
retrieve the data. The Query data is always presented on the lowest order data outputs (DQ0DQ7), the other outputs (DQ8-DQ15) are set to 0.
The CFI data structure also contains a security
area where a 64 bit unique security number is written (see Table 1, Security Code area). This area
can be accessed only in Read mode by the final
user. It is impossible to change the security num ber after it has been written by ST. Issue a Read
Array command to return to Read mode.
