FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Programming the IS27LV020
Upon delivery, the IS27LV020 has 2,097,152 bits in the
"ONE", or HIGH state. "ZEROs" are loaded into the
IS27LV020 through the procedure of programming.
The programming mode is entered when 12.5V ± 0.25V is
applied to the VPP pin, VCC = 6V, CE and
PGM
is at VIL, and
OE
is at VIH. For programming, the data to be programmed
is applied eight bits in parallel to the data output pins.
The write programming algorithm reduces programming
time by using 100 µs programming pulses followed by a
byte verification to determine whether the byte has been
successfully programmed. If the data does not verify, an
additional pulse is applied for a maximum of 25 pulses.
This process is repeated while sequencing through each
address of the EPROM.
The write programming algorithm programs and verifies at
VCC = 6V and VPP = 12.5V. After the final address is
completed, all byte are compared to the original data with
VCC = 5.25V.
Program Inhibit
Programming of multiple IS27LV020s in parallel with different data is also easily accomplished. Except for CE, all
like inputs of the parallel IS27LV020 may be common. A
TTL low-level program pulse applied to an IS27LV020
CE
input with VPP = 12.5V ± 0.25V, PGM LOW and OE HIGH
will program that IS27LV020. A high-level CE input inhibits
the other IS27LV020 from being programmed.
Program Verify
A verify should be performed on the programmed bits to
determine that they were correctly programmed. The
verify should be performed with OE and CE at VIL,
PGM
at
VIH, and VPP between 12.25V and 12.75V.
Auto Select Mode
The auto select mode allows the reading out of a binary
code from an EPROM that will identify its manufacturer
and type. This mode is intended for use by programming
equipment for the purpose of automatically matching the
device to be programmed with its corresponding programming algorithm. This mode is functional in the 25°C ± 5°C
ambient temperature range that is required when programming the IS27LV020.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment must
force 12.0V ± 0.5V on address line A9 of the IS27LV020.
Two identifier bytes may then be sequenced from the
device outputs by toggling address line A0 from VIL to VIH.
All other address lines must be held at VIL during auto
select mode.
Byte 0 (A0 = VIL) represents the manufacturer code, and
byte 1 (A0 = VIH), the device identifier code. For the
IS27LV020, these two identifier bytes are given in the
Mode Select table. All identifiers manufacturer and device
codes will possess odd parity, with the MSB (DQ7) defined
as the parity bit.
Read Mode
The IS27LV020 has two control functions, both of which
must be logically satisfied in order to obtain data at the
outputs. Chip Enable (CE) is the power control and should
be used for device selection. Assuming that addresses are
stable, address access time (tACC) is equal to the delay
from CE to output (tCE). Output Enable (OE) is the output
control and should be used to get data to the output pins,
independent of device selection. Data is available at the
outputs tOE after the falling edge of OE assuming that
CE
has been LOW and addresses have been stable for at
least tACC – tOE.
Standby Mode
The IS27LV020 has a standby mode which reduces the
maximum VCC active current. It is placed in standby mode
when CE is at VCC ± 0.3V. The amount of current drawn in
standby mode depends on the frequency and the number
of address pins switching. The IS27LV020 is specified
with 50% of the address lines toggling at 5 MHz. A
reduction of the frequency or quantity of address lines
toggling will significantly reduce the actual standby current.
