GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MT28F008B3 (x8) and MT28F800B3 (x16/x8) are
low-voltage, nonvolatile, electrically block-erasable (flash),
programmable memory devices containing 8,388,608 bits
organized as 524,288 words (16 bits) or 1,048,576 bytes (8
bits). Writing and erasing the device is done with a VPP
voltage of either 3.3V or 5V, while all operations are
performed with a 3.3V VCC. Due to process technology
advances, 5V VPP is optimal for application and production
programming. These devices are fabricated with Micron’s
advanced 0.18µm CMOS floating-gate process.
The MT28F008B3 and MT28F800B3 are organized
into eleven separately erasable blocks. To ensure that
critical firmware is protected from accidental erasure or
overwrite, the devices feature a hardware-protected
boot block. This block may be used to store code implemented in low-level system recovery. The remaining
blocks vary in density and are written and erased with
no additional security measures.

The MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 Flash devices incorporate a number of features ideally suited for system
firmware. The memory array is segmented into individual erase blocks. Each block may be erased without
affecting data stored in other blocks. These memory
blocks are read, written and erased with commands to
the command execution logic (CEL). The CEL controls
the operation of the internal state machine (ISM), which
completely controls all WRITE, BLOCK ERASE and VERIFY
operations. The ISM protects each memory location from
over-erasure and optimizes each memory location for
maximum data retention. In addition, the ISM greatly
simplifies the control necessary for writing the device insystem or in an external programmer.

MT28F008B3 and is organized into these sections:

OVERVIEW
SMART 3 TECHNOLOGY (B3)
Smart 3 operation allows maximum flexibility for insystem READ, WRITE and ERASE operations. WRITE and
ERASE operations may be executed with a VPP voltage of
3.3V or 5V. Due to process technology advances, 5V VPP is
optimal for application and production programming.

HARDWARE-PROTECTED BOOT BLOCK
This block of the memory array can be erased or
written only when the RP# pin is taken to VHH or when the
WP# pin is brought HIGH. (The WP# pin does not apply to
the SOP package.) This provides additional security for
the core firmware during in-system firmware updates
should an unintentional power fluctuation or system
reset occur. The MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 are available with the boot block starting at the bottom of the
address space (“B” suffix) and the top of the address
space (“T” suffix).
SELECTABLE BUS SIZE (MT28F800B3)
The MT28F800B3 allows selection of an 8-bit
(1 Meg x 8) or 16-bit (512K x 16) data bus for reading and
writing the memory. The BYTE# pin is used to select the
bus width. In the x16 configuration, control data is read
or written only on the lower eight bits (DQ0–DQ7).
Data written to the memory array utilizes all active
data pins for the selected configuration. When the x8
configuration is selected, data is written in byte form;
when the x16 configuration is selected, data is written in
word form.
INTERNAL STATE MACHINE (ISM)
BLOCK ERASE and BYTE/WORD WRITE timing are
simplified with an ISM that controls all erase and write
algorithms in the memory array. The ISM ensures protection against overerasure and optimizes write margin to
each cell.
During WRITE operations, the ISM automatically increments and monitors WRITE attempts, verifies write
margin on each memory cell and updates the ISM status
register. When BLOCK ERASE is performed, the ISM automatically overwrites the entire addressed block (eliminates overerasure), increments and monitors ERASE attempts, and sets bits in the ISM status register.
ELEVEN INDEPENDENTLY ERASABLE MEMORY
BLOCKS
The MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 are organized into
eleven independently erasable memory blocks that allow portions of the memory to be erased without affecting the rest of the memory data. A special boot block is
hardware-protected against inadvertent erasure or writing by requiring either a super-voltage on the RP# pin or
driving the WP# pin HIGH. (The WP# pin does not apply
to the SOP package.) One of these two conditions must
exist along with the VPP voltage (3.3V or 5V) on the VPP pin
before a WRITE or ERASE is performed on the boot
block. The remaining blocks require that only the VPP
voltage be present on the VPP pin before writing or
erasing.
The ISM status register enables an external processor
to monitor the status of the ISM during WRITE and ERASE
operations. Two bits of the 8-bit status register are set and
cleared entirely by the ISM. These bits indicate whether
the ISM is busy with an ERASE or WRITE task and when an
ERASE has been suspended. Additional error information is set in three other bits: VPP status, write status and
erase status.
COMMAND EXECUTION LOGIC (CEL)
The CEL receives and interprets commands to the
device. These commands control the operation of the
ISM and the read path (i.e., memory array, ID register or
status register). Commands may be issued to the CEL
7
Page 8
8Mb
SMART 3 BOOT BLOCK FLASH MEMORY
while the ISM is active. However, there are restrictions
on what commands are allowed in this condition. See
the Command Execution section for more detail.
DEEP POWER-DOWN MODE
To allow for maximum power conservation, the
MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 feature a very low current, deep power-down mode. To enter this mode, the
RP# pin is taken to VSS ±0.2V. In this mode, the current
draw is a maximum of 8µA at 3.3V VCC. Entering deep
power-down also clears the status register and sets the
ISM to the read array mode.
MEMORY ARCHITECTURE
The MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 memory array
architecture is designed to allow sections to be erased
without disturbing the rest of the array. The array is
divided into eleven addressable blocks that vary in size
and are independently erasable. When blocks rather than
the entire array are erased, total device endurance is
enhanced, as is system flexibility. Only the ERASE func-
Figure 1
Memory Address Maps
tion is block-oriented. All READ and WRITE operations
are done on a random-access basis.
The boot block is protected from unintentional ERASE
or WRITE with a hardware protection circuit which requires that a super-voltage be applied to RP# or that the
WP# pin be driven HIGH before erasure is commenced.
The boot block is intended for the core firmware required
for basic system functionality. The remaining ten blocks
do not require that either of these two conditions be met
before WRITE or ERASE operations.
BOOT BLOCK
The hardware-protected boot block provides extra
security for the most sensitive portions of the firmware.
This 16KB block may only be erased or written when the
RP# pin is at the specified boot block unlock voltage (VHH)
of 12V or when the WP# pin is HIGH. During a WRITE or
ERASE of the boot block, the RP# pin must be held at VHH
or the WP# pin held HIGH until the WRITE or ERASE is
completed. (The WP# pin does not apply to the SOP
package.) The VPP pin must be at VPPH (3.3V or 5V) when
the boot block is written to or erased.
The MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 are available in
two configurations and top or bottom boot block. The top
boot block version supports processors of the x86 variety.
The bottom boot block version is intended for 680X0 and
RISC applications. Figure 1 illustrates the memory address maps associated with these two versions.
PARAMETER BLOCKS
The two 8KB parameter blocks store less sensitive and
more frequently changing system parameters and also
may store configuration or diagnostic coding. These
blocks are enabled for erasure when the VPP pin is at VPPH.
No super-voltage unlock or WP# control is required.
MAIN MEMORY BLOCKS
The eight remaining blocks are general-purpose
memory blocks and do not require a super-voltage on
RP# or WP# control to be erased or written. These blocks
are intended for code storage, ROM-resident applications or operating systems that require in-system update
capability.
OUTPUT (READ) OPERATIONS
The MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 feature three different types of READs. Depending on the current mode of
the device, a READ operation produces data from the
memory array, status register or device identification
register. In each of these three cases, the WE#, CE# and
OE# inputs are controlled in a similar manner. Moving
between modes to perform a specific READ is described
in the Command Execution section.
MEMORY ARRAY
To read the memory array, WE# must be HIGH, and
OE# and CE# must be LOW. Valid data is output on the
DQ pins when these conditions have been met, and a
valid address is given. Valid data remains on the DQ pins
until the address changes, or until OE# or CE# goes HIGH,
whichever occurs first. The DQ pins continue to output
new data after each address transition as long as OE# and
CE# remain LOW.
The MT28F800B3 features selectable bus widths.
When the memory array is accessed as a 512K x 16, BYTE#
is HIGH, and data is output on DQ0–DQ15. To access the
memory array as a 1 Meg x 8, BYTE# must be LOW, DQ8–
DQ14 must be High-Z, and all data must be output on
DQ0–DQ7. The DQ15/(A - 1) pin becomes the lowest
order address input so that 1,048,576 locations can be
read.
After power-up or RESET, the device is automatically
in the array read mode. All commands and their operations are covered in the Command Set and Command
Execution sections.
STATUS REGISTER
Performing a READ of the status register requires
the same input sequencing as a READ of the array
except that the address inputs are “Don’t Care.” The
status register contents are always output on DQ0–
DQ7, regardless of the condition of BYTE# on the
MT28F800B3. DQ8–DQ15 are LOW when BYTE# is
HIGH, and DQ8–DQ14 are High-Z when BYTE# is LOW.
Data from the status register is latched on the falling
edge of OE# or CE#, whichever occurs last. If the contents of the status register change during a READ of the
status register, either OE# or CE# may be toggled while
the other is held LOW to update the output.
Following a WRITE or ERASE, the device automatically enters the status register read mode. In addition, a
READ during a WRITE or ERASE produces the status
register contents on DQ0–DQ7. When the device is in the
erase suspend mode, a READ operation produces the
status register contents until another command is issued. In certain other modes, READ STATUS REGISTER
may be given to return to the status register read mode.
All commands and their operations are described in the
Command Set and Command Execution sections.
IDENTIFICATION REGISTER
A READ of the two 8-bit device identification registers
requires the same input sequencing as a READ of the
array. WE# must be HIGH, and OE# and CE# must be
LOW. However, ID register data is output only on DQ0–
DQ7, regardless of the condition of BYTE# on the
MT28F800B3. A0 is used to decode between the two bytes
of the device ID register; all other address inputs are
“Don’t Care.” When A0 is LOW, the manufacturer compatibility ID is output, and when A0 is HIGH, the device
ID is output. DQ8–DQ15 are High-Z when BYTE# is LOW.
When BYTE# is HIGH, DQ8–DQ15 are 00h when the
manufacturer compatibility ID is read and 88h when the
device ID is read.
To get to the identification register read mode, READ
IDENTIFICATION may be issued while the device is in
certain other modes. In addition, the identification register read mode can be reached by applying a super-voltage (VID) to the A9 pin. Using this method, the ID register
can be read while the device is in any mode. When A9 is
returned to VIL or VIH, the device returns to the previous
mode.
INPUT OPERATIONS
The DQ pins are used either to input data to the array
or to input a command to the CEL. A command input
issues an 8-bit command to the CEL to control the mode
of operation of the device. A WRITE is used to input
data to the memory array. The following section de-
scribes both types of inputs. More information describing how to use the two types of inputs to write or erase
the device is provided in the Command Execution section.
COMMANDS
To perform a command input, OE# must be HIGH,
and CE# and WE# must be LOW. Addresses are “Don’t
Care” but must be held stable, except during an ERASE
CONFIRM (described in a later section). The 8-bit command is input on DQ0–DQ7, while DQ8–DQ15 are “Don’t
Care” on the MT28F800B3. The command is latched on
the rising edge of CE# (CE#-controlled) or WE# (WE#controlled), whichever occurs first. The condition of
BYTE# on the MT28F800B3 has no effect on a command input.
MEMORY ARRAY
A WRITE to the memory array sets the desired bits to
logic 0s but cannot change a given bit to a logic 1 from a
logic 0. Setting any bits to a logic 1 requires that the entire
block be erased. To perform a WRITE, OE# must be HIGH,
CE# and WE# must be LOW, and VPP must be set to VPPH1
or VPPH2. Writing to the boot block also requires that the
RP# pin be at VHH or WP# be HIGH. A0–A18 (A19) provide the address to be written, while the data to be
written to the array is input on the DQ pins. The data
and addresses are latched on the rising edge of CE#
(CE#-controlled) or WE# (WE#-controlled), whichever
occurs first. A WRITE must be preceded by a WRITE
SETUP command. Details on how to input data to the
array are described in the Write Sequence section.
Selectable bus sizing applies to WRITEs as it does to
READs on the MT28F800B3. When BYTE# is LOW (byte
mode), data is input on DQ0–DQ7, DQ8–DQ14 are HighZ, and DQ15 becomes the lowest order address input.
When BYTE# is HIGH (word mode), data is input on DQ0–
DQ15.
COMMAND SET
To simplify writing of the memory blocks, the
MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 incorporate an ISM that
controls all internal algorithms for writing and erasing
the floating gate memory cells. An 8-bit command set is
used to control the device. Details on how to sequence
commands are provided in the Command Execution
section. Table 1 lists the valid commands.
Table 1
Command Set
COMMANDHEX CODE DESCRIPTION
RESERVED00hThis command and all unlisted commands are invalid and should not
be called. These commands are reserved to allow for future feature
enhancements.
READ ARRAYFFhMust be issued after any other command cycle before the array can be
read. It is not necessary to issue this command after power-up or RESET.
IDENTIFY DEVICE90hAllows the device and manufacturer compatibility ID to be read. A0 is
used to decode between the manufacturer compatibility ID (A0 = LOW)
and device ID (A0 = HIGH).
READ STATUS REGISTER70hAllows the status register to be read. Please refer to Table 2 for more
information on the status register bits.
CLEAR STATUS REGISTER50hClears status register bits 3-5, which cannot be cleared by the ISM.
ERASE SETUP20hThe first command given in the two-cycle ERASE sequence. The ERASE is
not completed unless followed by ERASE CONFIRM.
ERASE CONFIRM/RESUMED0hThe second command given in the two-cycle ERASE sequence. Must follow
an ERASE SETUP command to be valid. Also used during an ERASE
SUSPEND to resume the ERASE.
WRITE SETUP40h orThe first command given in the two-cycle WRITE sequence. The write
10hdata and address are given in the following cycle to complete the WRITE.
ERASE SUSPENDB0hRequests a halt of the ERASE and puts the device into the erase suspend
mode. When the device is in this mode, only READ STATUS REGISTER,
READ ARRAY and ERASE RESUME commands may be executed.
The 8-bit ISM status register (see Table 2) is polled
to check for WRITE or ERASE completion or any related
errors. During or following a WRITE, ERASE or ERASE
SUSPEND, a READ operation outputs the status register
contents on DQ0–DQ7 without prior command. While
the status register contents are read, the outputs are not
be updated if there is a change in the ISM status unless
OE# or CE# is toggled. If the device is not in the write,
erase, erase suspend or status register read mode, READ
STATUS REGISTER (70h) can be issued to view the status
register contents.

All of the defined bits are set by the ISM, but only
the ISM and erase suspend status bits are reset by the
ISM. The erase, write and VPP status bits must be cleared
using CLEAR STATUS REGISTER. If the VPP status bit
(SR3) is set, the CEL does not allow further WRITE or
ERASE operations until the status register is cleared.
This enables the user to choose when to poll and clear
the status register. For example, the host system may
perform multiple BYTE WRITE operations before checking the status register instead of checking after each
individual WRITE. Asserting the RP# signal or powering down the device also clears the status register.

VPPS must be cleared by CLEAR STATUS REGISTER or by a RESET.
Commands are issued to bring the device into different operational modes. Each mode allows specific operations to be performed. Several modes require a sequence
of commands to be written before they are reached. The
following section describes the properties of each mode,
and Table 3 lists all command sequences required to
perform the desired operation.
READ ARRAY
The array read mode is the initial state of the device
upon power-up and after a RESET. If the device is in any
other mode, READ ARRAY (FFh) must be given to return
to the array read mode. Unlike the WRITE SETUP command (40h), READ ARRAY does not need to be given
before each individual READ access.
IDENTIFY DEVICE
IDENTIFY DEVICE (90h) may be written to the CEL to
enter the identify device mode. While the device is in this
mode, any READ produces the device identification when
A0 is HIGH and the manufacturer compatibility identification when A0 is LOW. The device remains in this mode
until another command is given.
8Mb
WRITE SEQUENCE
Two consecutive cycles are needed to input data to
the array. WRITE SETUP (40h or 10h) is given in the first
cycle. The next cycle is the WRITE, during which the write
address and data are issued and VPP is brought to VPPH.
Writing to the boot block also requires that the RP# pin be
brought to VHH or the WP# pin be brought HIGH at the
same time VPP is brought to VPPH. The ISM now begins to
write the word or byte. VPP must be held at VPPH until the
WRITE is completed (SR7 = 1).
While the ISM executes the WRITE, the ISM status bit
(SR7) is at 0, and the device does not respond to any
commands. Any READ operation produces the status
register contents on DQ0–DQ7. When the ISM status bit
(SR7) is set to a logic 1, the WRITE has been completed,
and the device goes into the status register read mode
until another command is given.
After the ISM has initiated the WRITE, it cannot be
aborted except by a RESET or by powering down the part.
Doing either during a WRITE corrupts the data being
written. If only the WRITE SETUP command has been
given, the WRITE may be nullified by performing a null
WRITE. To execute a null WRITE, FFh must be written
Table 3

COMMANDSREQ’D OPERATION ADDRESS DATA OPERATIONADDRESS DATANOTES
when BYTE# is LOW, or FFFFh must be written when
BYTE# is HIGH. When the ISM status bit (SR7) has been
set, the device is in the status register read mode until
another command is issued.
ERASE SEQUENCE
Executing an ERASE sequence sets all bits within a
block to logic 1. The command sequence necessary to
execute an ERASE is similar to that of a WRITE. To provide added security against accidental block erasure,
two consecutive command cycles are required to initiate
an ERASE of a block. In the first cycle, addresses are
“Don’t Care,” and ERASE SETUP (20h) is given. In the
second cycle, VPP must be brought to VPPH, an address
within the block to be erased must be issued, and ERASE
CONFIRM (D0h) must be given. If a command other than
ERASE CONFIRM is given, the write and erase status bits
(SR4 and SR5) are set, and the device is in the status
register read mode.
After the ERASE CONFIRM (D0h) is issued, the ISM
starts the ERASE of the addressed block. Any READ
operation outputs the status register contents on DQ0–
DQ7. VPP must be held at VPPH until the ERASE is completed (SR7 = 1). When the ERASE is completed, the
device is in the status register read mode until another
command is issued. Erasing the boot block also requires
that either the RP# pin be set to VHH or the WP# pin be
held HIGH at the same time VPP is set to VPPH.
ERASE SUSPENSION
The only command that may be issued while an
ERASE is in progress is ERASE SUSPEND. This command enables other commands to be executed while
pausing the ERASE in progress. When the device has
reached the erase suspend mode, the erase suspend
status bit (SR6) and ISM status bit (SR7) are set. The
device may now be given a READ ARRAY, ERASE RESUME or READ STATUS REGISTER command. After
READ ARRAY has been issued, any location not within
the block being erased may be read. If ERASE RESUME
is issued before SR6 has been set, the device immediately proceeds with the ERASE in progress.
ERROR HANDLING
After the ISM status bit (SR7) has been set, the VPP
(SR3), write (SR4) and erase (SR5) status bits may be
checked. If one or a combination of these three bits has
been set, an error has occurred. The ISM cannot reset
these three bits. To clear these bits, CLEAR STATUS REGISTER (50h) must be given. If the VPP status bit (SR3) is set,
further WRITE or ERASE operations cannot resume until
the status register is cleared. Table 4 lists the combination of errors.

The MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 are designed and
fabricated to meet advanced firmware storage requirements. To ensure this level of reliability, VPP must be at
3.3V ±0.3V or 5V ±10% during WRITE or ERASE cycles.
Due to process technology advances, 5V VPP is optimal
for application and production programming.
POWER USAGE
The MT28F800B3 and MT28F008B3 offer several
power-saving features that may be utilized in the array
read mode to conserve power. Deep power-down mode
is enabled by bringing RP# LOW. Current draw (ICC) in
this mode is a maximum of 8µA at 3.3V VCC. When CE# is
HIGH, the device enters standby mode. In this mode,
maximum ICC current is 100µA at 3.3V VCC. If CE# is
brought HIGH during a WRITE or ERASE, the ISM continues to operate, and the device consumes the respective
active power until the WRITE or ERASE is completed.
POWER-UP
The likelihood of unwanted WRITE or ERASE operations is minimized because two consecutive cycles are
required to execute either operation. However, to reset
the ISM and to provide additional protection while VCC is
ramping, one of the following conditions must be met:
•RP# must be held LOW until VCC is at valid
functional level; or
•CE# or WE# may be held HIGH and
RP# must be toggled from VCC-GND-VCC.
After a power-up or RESET, the status register is reset,
and the device enters the array read mode.

2. Complete status check is not required. However, if SR3 = 1, further WRITEs are inhibited until the status register is
cleared.
3. Device will be in status register read mode. To return to the array read mode, the FFh command must be issued.
4. If SR3 is set during a WRITE or BLOCK ERASE attempt, CLEAR STATUS REGISTER must be issued before further WRITE
or ERASE operations are allowed by the CEL.
5. Status register bits 3-5 must be cleared using CLEAR STATUS REGISTER.
