The standard MX26L6420 offers access time as fast as
90ns, allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors
without wait states. To eliminate bus contention, the
MX26L6420 has separate chip enable (CE) and output
enable OE controls. MXIC's MTP EPROMTM augment
EPROM functionality with in-circuit electrical erasure and
programming. The MX26L6420 uses a command register
to manage this functionality.

MX26L6420
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING
The MX26L6420 is word programmable using the Automatic Programming algorithm. The Automatic Progr amming algorithm makes the external system do not need
to have time out sequence nor to verify the data programmed. The typical chip programming time at room
temperature of the MX26L6420 is less than 150 seconds.
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Programming algorithm require the user
to only write program set-up commands (including 2 unlock write cycle and A0H) and a program command (program data and address). The de vice automatically times
the programming pulse width, provides the program verification, and counts the number of sequences. A status
bit similar to DATA polling and a status bit toggling between consecutive read cycles, provide feedback to the
user as to the status of the programming operation.
AUTOMATIC CHIP ERASE
ming and erase operations. All address are latched on
the falling edge of WE or CE, whiche ver happens later.
All data are latched on rising edge of WE or CE, whichever happens first.
MXIC's Flash technology combines years of EPROM
experience to produce the highest levels of quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness. The MX26L6420 electrically erases all bits simultaneously using Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The bytes are programmed b y using the
EPROM programming mechanism of hot electron injection.
During a program cycle, the state-machine will control
the program sequences and command register will not
respond to any command set. After the state machine
has completed its task, it will allow the command register to respond to its full command set.
The entire chip is bulk erased using 50 ms erase pulses
according to MXIC's Automatic Chip Erase algorithm.
T ypical erasure at room temper ature is accomplished in
less than 90 seconds. The Automatic Erase algorithm
automatically programs the entire array prior to electrical
erase. The timing and verification of electrical erase are
controlled internally within the device.
AUTOMATIC ERASE ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Erase algorithm requires the user to
write commands to the command register using standard microprocessor write timings. The device will automatically pre-program and verify the entire arra y. Then
the device automatically times the erase pulse width,
provides the erase verification, and counts the number
of sequences. A status bit toggling between consecutive read cycles provides feedback to the user as to the
status of the programming operation.
Register contents serve as inputs to an internal statemachine which controls the erase and programming circuitry . During write cycles, the command register internally latches address and data needed for the program-
To read array data from the outputs, the system must
drive the CE and OE pins to VIL. CE is the po wer control
and selects the device. OE is the output control and gates
array data to the output pins. WE should remain at VIH.
The internal state machine is set for reading array data
upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This
ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory contect
occurs during the power transition. No command is
necessary in this mode to obtain array data. Standard
microprocessor read cycles that assert valid address on
the device address inputs produce valid data on the device
data outputs. The de vice remains enabled for read access
until the command register contents are altered.
WRITE COMMANDS/COMMAND
SEQUENCES
To program data to the device or erase memory , the
system must drive WE and CE to VIL, and OE to VIH.
An erase operation can erase the entire device. The
"Writing specific address and data commands or
sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 1 defines the valid register command
sequences. Writing incorrect address and data values or
writing them in the improper sequence resets the device
to reading array data."section has details on erasing the
entire chip.
After the system writes the autoselect command
sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The
system can then read autoselect codes from the internal
reqister (which is separate from the memory array) on
Q15-Q0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this mode.
Refer to the Autoselect Mode and Autoselect Command
Sequence section for more information.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active
current specification for the write mode. The "AC
Characteristics" section contains timing specification
table and timing diagrams for write operations.
STANDBY MODE
MX26L6420 can be set into Standby mode with two different approaches. One is using both CE and RESET
pins and the other one is using RESET pin only .
When using both pins of CE and RESET, a CMOS
Standby mode is achieved with both pins held at Vcc ±
0.3V . Under this condition, the current consumed is less
than 50uA (typ.). If both of the CE and RESET are held
at VIH, b ut not within the range of VCC ± 0.3V , the de vice
will still be in the standby mode, but the standby currect
will be larger. During Auto Algorithm operation, Vcc active current (Icc2) is required even CE = "H" until the
operation is complated. The de vice can be read with standard access time (tCE) from either of these standby
modes.
When using only RESET, a CMOS standby mode is
achieved with RESET input held at Vss ± 0.3V, Under
this condition the current is consumed less than 50uA
(typ.). Once the RESET pin is taken high,the device is
back to active without recovery delay.
In the standby mode the outputs are in the high impedance state, independent of the OE input.
MX26L6420 is capable to provide the Automatic Standby
Mode to restrain power consumption during read-out of
data. This mode can be used eff ectively with an application requested low power consumption such as handy
terminals.
To active this mode, MX26L6420 automatically switch
themselves to low power mode when MX26L6420 addresses remain stable during access time of tACC+30ns.
It is not necessary to control CE, WE, and OE on the
mode. Under the mode, the current consumed is typically 50uA (CMOS level).
OUTPUT DISABLE
With the OE input at a logic high level (VIH), output from
the devices are disabled. This will cause the output pins
to be in a high impedance state.

RESET OPERATION
The RESET pin provides a hardware method of resetting
the device to reading arra y data. When the RESET pin is
driven low for at least a period of tRP, the device
immediately terminates any operation in progress,
tristates all output pins, and ignores all read/write
commands for the duration of the RESET pluse. The
device also resets the internal state machine to reading
array data. The operation that was interrupted should be
reinitated once the device is ready to accept another
command sequence, to ensure data integrity
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET pulse.
When RESET is held at VSS±0.3V, the device draws
CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET is held at VIL
but not within VSS±0.3V, the standby current will be
greater.
The RESET pin may be tied to system reset circuitry . A
system reset would that also reset the MTP EPROM.
Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET
parameters and to Figure 14 for the timing diagram.

DATA PROTECTION
The MX26L6420 is designed to offer protection against
accidental erasure or programming caused by spurious
system level signals that may exist during power transition. During power up the device automatically resets
the state machine in the Read mode. In addition, with
its control register architecture, alteration of the memory
contents only occurs after successful completion of specific command sequences. The device also incorporates
several features to prevent inadvertent write cycles resulting from VCC pow er-up and power-down transition or
system noise.
MTP EPROM are intended for use in applications where
the local CPU alters memory contents. As such, manufacturer and device codes must be accessible while the
device resides in the target system. EPROM programmers typically access signature codes by raising A9 to
a high voltage. How ever , multiple xing high voltage onto
address lines is not generally desired system design practice.
MX26L6420 provides hardware method to access the
silicon ID read operation. Which method requires VID on
A9 pin, VIL on CE, OE, A6, and A1 pins. Which apply
VIL on A0 pin, the device will output MXIC's manufacture code of C2H. Which apply VIH on A0 pin, the device
will output MX26L6420 device code of 22FCH.
VI/O PIN OPERATION
MX26L6420 is capable to provide the I/O prower supply
(VI/O) pin to control Input/Output voltage levels of the
device. The data outputs and voltage tolerated at its data
input is determined by the voltage on the VI/O pin. This
device is allows to operate in 1.8V or 3V system as required.
SECURED SILICON SECTOR
The MX26L6420 features a Flash memory region where
the system may access through a command sequence
to create a permant part identification as so called Electronic Serial Number (ESN) in the device. Once this region is programmed, any further modification on the region is impossible. The secured silicon sector is a 512
words in length, and uses a Secured Silicon Sector Indicator Bit (Q7) to indicate whether or not the Secured
Silicon Sector is locked when shipped from the f actory.
This bit is permanently set at the factory and cannot be
changed, which prevent duplication of a factory locked
part. This ensures the security of the ESN once the product is shipped to the field.
The MX26L6420 offers the device with Secured Silicon
Sector either factory locked or custor lockab le. The factory-locked version is always protected when shipped
from the factory , and has the Secured Silicon Sector
Indicator Bit permanently set to a "1". The customerlockable version is shipped with the Secured Silicon
Sector unprotected, allowing customer to utilize that sector in any form they pref er . The customer-loc kable v er-

sion has the secured sector Indicator Bit permanently
set to a "0". Therefore, the Secured Silicon Sector Indicator Bit permanently set to a "0". Therefore, the Second
Silicon Sector Indicator Bit prevents customer, lockable
device from being used to replace devices that are factory locked.
The system access the Secured Silicon Sector through
a command sequence (refer to "Enter Secured Silicon/
Exit Secured Silicon Sector command Sequence). After
the system has written the Enter Secured Silicon Sector
command sequence, it may read the Secured Silicon
Sector by using the address normally occupied by the
address 000000h-0001FFh. This mode of operation continues until the system issues the Exit Secured Silicon
Sector command sequence, or until power is removed
from the device. On power-up, or following a hardware
reset, the device rever ts to sending command to address 000000h-0001FFFh.
LOW VCC WRITE INHIBIT
When VCC is less than VLKO the device does not accept any write cycles. This protects dataduring VCC
power-up and power-do wn. The command register and
all internal program/erase circuits are disabled, and the
device resets. Subsequent writes are ignored until VCC
is greater thanVLK O. The system must provide the proper
signals to the control pins to prevent unintentional write
when VCC is greater than VLK O.
FACTORY LOCKED:Secured Silicon Sector
Programmed and Protected At the Factory
In device with an ESN, the Secured Silicon Sector is
protected when the device is shipped from the factory.
The Secured Silicon Sector cannot be modified in any
way . A f actory locked device has an 8-word random ESN
at address 000000h-000007h.
CUSTOMER LOCKABLE:Secured Silicon
Sector NOT Programmed or Protected At the
Factory
As an alternative to the factory-locked version, the device
may be ordered such that the customer may program
and protect the 512-word Secured Silicon Sector.
Programming and protecting the Secured Silicon Sector
must be used with caution since, once protected, there
is no procedure available for unprotecting the Secured
Silicon Sector area and none of the bits in the Secured
Silicon Sector memory space can be modified in any
way.
The Secured Silicon Sector area can be protected using
the following procedures:
Write the three-cycle Enter Secured Silicon Sector Region
command sequence. This allows in-system protection
of the Secured Silicon Sector without raising any device
pin to a high voltage. Note that method is only applicable
to the Secured Silicon Sector.
WRITE PULSE "GLITCH" PROTECTION
Noise pulses of less than 5ns(typical) on CE or WE will
not initiate a write cycle.
LOGICAL INHIBIT
Writing is inhibited by holding any one of OE = VIL, CE =
VIH or WE = VIH. To initiate a wr ite cycle CE and WE
must be a logical zero while OE is a logical one.
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
The MX26L6420 powers up in the Read only mode. In
addition, the memory contents may only be altered after
successful completion of the predefined command sequences.
P/N:PM0823
Once the Secured Silicon Sector is programmed, locked
and verified, the system must write the Exit Secured
Silicon Sector Region command sequence to return to
reading and writing the remainder of the array .

READING ARRAY DATA
The device is automatically set to reading array data
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. The device is also ready to read arra y data
after completing an Automatic Program or Automatic
Erase algorithm.
The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the device for reading array data if Q5 goes high, or
while in the autoselect mode. See the "Reset Command"
section, next.
RESET COMMAND
Writing the reset command to the device resets the
device to reading array data. Address bits are don't care
for this command.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase command sequence before
erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array
data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ignores
reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in a program command sequence before
programming begins. This resets the device to reading
array data. Once programming begins ,howe ver , the device

by writing two unlock cycles, followed by the SILICON
ID READ command. The device then enters the SILICON
ID READ mode, and the system may read at any address
any number of times, without init iating another command
sequence. A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the
manufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h re-
turns the device code.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.
WORD PROGRAM COMMAND SEQUENCE
The command sequence requires four bus cycles, and
is initiated by writing two unlock write cycles, followed
by the program set-up command. The program address
and data are written next, which in turn initiate the
Embedded Program algorithm. The system is
to provide further controls or timings. The device
automatically generates the program pulses and verifies
the programmed cell margin. Table 4 shows the address
and data requirements for the byte program command
sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the
device then returns to reading array data and addresses
are no longer latched. The system can determine the
status of the program operation by using Q7, Q6. See
"Write Operation Status" for information on these status
bits.

data, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence. A bit cannot
be programmed from a "0" back to a "1". Cause the Data
Polling algorithm to indicate the operation w as successful.
However, a succeeding read will show that the data is
still "0". Only erase operations can convert a "0" to a
"1".

ACCELERATED PROGRAM OPERATIONS
The device offers accelerated program operations through
the ACC pin. When the system asserts VHH on the ACC
pin, the device automatically bypass the two "Unlock"
write cycle. The device uses the higher voltage on the
ACC pin to accelerate the operation. Note that the ACC
pin must not be at VHH any operation other than accelerated
programming, or device damage may result.
SETUP AUTOMATIC CHIP ERASE
Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two
"unlock" write cycles. These are f ollowed b y writing the
"set-up" command 80H. Two more "unlock" write cycles
are then followed by the chip erase command 10H.
The MX26L6420 contains a Silicon-ID-Read operation to
supplement traditional PROM programming methodology.
The operation is initiated by writing the read silicon ID
command sequence into the command register. Follo wing the command write, a read cycle with A6=VIL,
A1=VIL, A0=VIL retrieves the manufacturer code of C2H.
A read cycle with A6=VIL, A1=VIL, A0=VIH returns the
device code of 22FCH for MX26L6420.
AUTOMATIC CHIP ERASE COMMAND
The device does not require the system to preprogram
prior to erase. The A utomatic Erase algorithm automati-
cally preprograms and verifies the entire memory for an
all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The system
is not required to provide any controls or timings during
these operations. Table 4 shows the address and data
requirements for the chip erase command sequence.
Any commands written to the chip during the Automatic
Erase algorithm are ignored. Note that a hardware reset
during the chip erase operation immediately terminates
the operation. The Chip Erase command sequence should
be reinitiated once the device has returned to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.
The system can determine the status of the erase op-
eration by using Q7, Q6. See "Write Operation Status"
for inf ormation on these status bits. When the Automatic
Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns to read-
ing array data and addresses are no longer latched.
Figure 5 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera-
tion.See the Erase/Program Operations tables in "AC
Characteristics" for parameters, and to Figure 4 for tim-
ing diagrams.

WRITE OPERSTION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: Q5, Q6, Q7. Table 10 and the
following subsections describe the functions of these bits.
Q7, and Q6 each offer a method for determining whether
a program or erase operation is complete or in progress.

MX26L6420
Q7: Data Polling
The Data Polling bit, Q7, indicates to the host sys-tem
whether an Automatic Algorithm is in progress or completed. Data Polling is valid after the rising edge of the
final WE pulse in the program or erase command sequence.
During the Automatic Program algorithm, the device outputs on Q7 the complement of the datum programmed
to Q7. This Q7 status also applies to programming during Er ase Suspend. When the Automatic Program algorithm is complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to Q7. The system must provide the program
address to read valid status information on Q7.
During the Automatic Erase algorithm, Data Polling produces a "0" on Q7. When the Automatic Erase algorithm is complete. Data Polling produces a "1" on Q7.
This is analogous to the complement/true datum output
described for the Automatic Program algorithm: the erase
function changes all the bits to "1" prior to this, the device outputs the "complement,” or "0".
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data Polling on
Q7 is active for approximately 100 us, then the device
returns to reading array data.
Q5:Program/Erase Timing
Q5 will indicate if the program or erase time has exceeded
the specified limits(internal pulse count). Under these
conditions Q5 will produce a "1". This time-out condition
indicates that the program or erase cycle was not successfully completed. Data P olling and Toggle Bit are the
only operating functions of the device under this condition.
If this time-out condition occurs during chip erase operation, it specifies that device is bad and it may not be
reused. Write the Reset command sequence to the device, and then execute program or erase command sequence. This allows the system to continue to use the
other active sectors in the device.
If this time-out condition occurs during the chip erase
operation, it specifies that the entire chip is bad.
If this time-out condition occurs during the word programming operation, the word is bad and maynot be reused,
(other word are still functional and can be reused).
When the system detects Q7 has changed from the
complement to true data, it can read valid data at Q7-Q0
on the following read cycles. This is because Q7 may
change asynchr onously with Q0-Q6 while Output Enable (OE) is asserted low.
Q6:Toggle BIT I
Toggle Bit I on Q6 indicates whether an Automatic Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete. Toggle
Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid after the
rising edge of the final WE or CE, whichever happens
first pulse in the command sequence(prior to the program or erase operation).
During an Automatic Program or Erase algorithm operation, successive read cycles to any address cause Q6
to toggle. The system may use either OE or CE to control the read cycles. When the operation is complete , Q6
stops toggling.
