SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

The M29W160E is a 16 Mbit (2Mb x8 or 1Mb x16) non-volatile memory that can be read, erased and reprogrammed. These operations can be per­formed using a single low voltage (2.7 to 3.6V) supply. On power-up the memory defaults to its Read mode where it can be read in the same way as a ROM or EPROM.
The memory is divided into blocks that can be erased independently so it is possible to preserve valid data while old data is erased. Each block can be protected independently to prevent accidental Program or Erase commands from modifying the memory. Program and Erase commands are writ­ten to the Command Interface of the memory. An on-chip Program/Erase Controller simplifies the process of programming or erasing the memory by taking care of all of the special operations that are required to update the memory contents.
The end of a program or erase operation can be detected and any error conditions identified. The

Figure 2. Logic Diagram Table 1. Signal Names

command set required to control the memory is consistent with JEDEC standards.
The blocks in the memory are asymmetrically ar­ranged, see Figures 5 and 6, Block Addresses. The first or last 64 KBytes have been divided into four additional blocks. The 16 KByte Boot Block can be used for small initialization code to start the microprocessor, the two 8 KByte Parameter Blocks can be used for parameter storage and the remaining 32K is a small Main Block where the ap­plication may be stored.
Chip Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable sig­nals control the bus operation of the memory. They allow simple connection to most micropro­cessors, often without additional logic.
The memory is offered TSOP48 (12 x 20mm) and TFBGA48 (0.8mm pitch) packages. The memory is supplied with all the bits erased (set to ’1’).

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS

See Figure 2, Logic Diagram, and Table 1, Signal Names, for a brief overview of the signals connect­ed to this device.

Address Inputs (A0-A19). The Address Inputs select the cells in the memory array to access dur­ing Bus Read operations. During Bus Write opera­tions they control the commands sent to the Command Interface of the Program/Erase Con­troller.

Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7). The Data In­puts/Outputs output the data stored at the selected address during a Bus Read operation. During Bus Write operations they represent the commands sent to the Command Interface of the Program/ Erase Controller.

Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ8-DQ14). The Data In­puts/Outputs output the data stored at the selected address during a Bus Read operation when BYTE is High, VIH. When BYTE is Low, VIL, these pins are not used and are high impedance. During Bus Write operations the Command Register does not use these bits. When reading the Status Register these bits should be ignored.

Data Input/Output or Address Input (DQ15A-1).

When BYTE Data Input/Output pin (as DQ8-DQ14). When BYTE pin; DQ15A–1 Low will select the LSB of the Word on the other addresses, DQ15A–1 High will select the MSB. Throughout the text consider references to the Data Input/Output to include this pin when BYTE puts to include this pin when BYTE when stated explicitly otherwise.

After a Hardware Reset, Bus Read and Bus Write operations cannot begin until Ready/Busy be­comes high-impedance. See Table 15 and Figure 14, Reset/Temporary Unprotect AC Characteris­tics.
The use of an open-drain output allows the Ready/ Busy pins from several memories to be connected to a single pull-up resistor. A Low will then indicate that one, or more, of the memories is busy.

BUS OPERATIONS

There are five standard bus operations that control the device. These are Bus Read, Bus Write, Out­put Disable, Standby and Automatic Standby. See Tables 2 and 3, Bus Operations, for a summary. Typically glitches of less than 5ns on Chip Enable or Write Enable are ignored by the memory and do not affect bus operations.

Bus Read. Bus Read operations read from the memory cells, or specific registers in the Com­mand Interface. A valid Bus Read operation in­volves setting the desired address on the Address Inputs, applying a Low signal, V

, to Chip Enable
IL
and Output Enable and keeping Write Enable High, V
. The Data Inputs/Outputs will output the
IH
value, see Figure 11, Read Mode AC Waveforms, and Table 12, Read AC Characteristics, for details of when the output becomes valid.

Bus Write. Bus Write operations write to the Command Interface. A valid Bus Write operation begins by setting the desired address on the Ad­dress Inputs. The Address Inputs are latched by the Command Interface on the falling edge of Chip Enable or Write Enable, whichever occurs last. The Data Inputs/Outputs are latched by the Com­mand Interface on the rising edge of Chip Enable or Write Enable, whichever occurs first. Output En­able must remain High, V

, during the whole Bus
IH
Write operation. See Figures 12 and 13, Write AC Waveforms, and Tables 13 and 14, Write AC Characteristics, for details of the timing require­ments.

Output Disable. The Data Inputs/Outputs are in the high impedance state when Output Enable is High, V

Standby. When Chip Enable is High, V

.
IH
, the
IH
memory enters Standby mode and the Data In­puts/Outputs pins are placed in the high-imped-

ance state. To reduce the Supply Current to the Standby Supply Current, I be held within V
± 0.2V. For the Standby current
CC
level see Table 11, DC Characteristics. During program or erase operations the memory
will continue to use the Program/Erase Supply Current, I
, for Program or Erase operations un-
CC3

til the operation completes. Automatic Standby. If CMOS levels (V

are used to drive the bus and the bus is inactive for 150ns or more the memory enters Automatic Standby where the internal Supply Current is re­duced to the Standby Supply Current, I Data Inputs/Outputs will still output data if a Bus Read operation is in progress.
Special Bus Operations. Additional bus opera­tions can be performed to read the Electronic Sig­nature and also to apply and remove Block Protection. These bus operations are intended for use by programming equipment and are not usu­ally used in applications. They require V applied to some pins.

Electronic Signature. The memory has two codes, the manufacturer code and the device code, that can be read to identify the memory. These codes can be read by applying the signals listed in Tables 2 and 3, Bus Operations.

Block Protection and Blocks Unprotection.

Each block can be separately protected against accidental Program or Erase. Protected blocks can be unprotected to allow data to be changed.
There are two methods available for protecting and unprotecting the blocks, one for use on pro­gramming equipment and the other for in-system use. Block Protect and Blocks Unprotect opera­tions are described in Appendix C.

COMMAND INTERFACE

All Bus Write operations to the memory are inter­preted by the Command Interface. Commands consist of one or more sequential Bus Write oper­ations. Failure to observe a valid sequence of Bus Write operations will result in the memory return­ing to Read mode. The long command sequences are imposed to maximize data security.
The address used for the commands changes de­pending on whether the memory is in 16-bit or 8­bit mode. See either Table 4, or 5, depending on the configuration that is being used, for a summary of the commands.

Read/Reset Command. The Read/Reset com­mand returns the memory to its Read mode where it behaves like a ROM or EPROM, unless other­wise stated. It also resets the errors in the Status Register. Either one or three Bus Write operations can be used to issue the Read/Reset command.

The Read/Reset Command can be issued, be­tween Bus Write cycles before the start of a pro­gram or erase operation, to return the device to read mode. Once the program or erase operation has started the Read/Reset command is no longer accepted. The Read/Reset command will not abort an Erase operation when issued while in Erase Suspend.

Auto Select Command. The Auto Select com­mand is used to read the Manufacturer Code, the Device Code and the Block Protection Status. Three consecutive Bus Write operations are re­quired to issue the Auto Select command. Once the Auto Select command is issued the memory remains in Auto Select mode until a Read/Reset command is issued. Read CFI Query and Read/ Reset commands are accepted in Auto Select mode, all other commands are ignored.

Device Code for the M29W160ET is 22C4h and for the M29W160EB is 2249h.
The Block Protection Status of each block can be read using a Bus Read operation with A0 = V A1 = V
, and A12-A19 specifying the address of
IH
the block. The other address bits may be set to ei­ther V
or VIH. If the addressed block is protected
IL
then 01h is output on Data Inputs/Outputs DQ0­DQ7, otherwise 00h is output.

Program Command. The Program command can be used to program a value to one address in the memory array at a time. The command re­quires four Bus Write operations, the final write op­eration latches the address and data, and starts the Program/Erase Controller.

If the address falls in a protected block then the Program command is ignored, the data remains unchanged. The Status Register is never read and no error condition is given.
During the program operation the memory will ig­nore all commands. It is not possible to issue any command to abort or pause the operation. Typical program times are given in Table 6. Bus Read op­erations during the program operation will output the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs. See the section on the Status Register for more details.
After the program operation has completed the memory returns to the Read mode, unless an error
,
IL
12/40
M29W160ET, M29W160EB
has occurred. When an error occurs the memory continues to output the Status Register. A Read/ Reset command must be issued to reset the error condition and return to Read mode.
Note that the Program command cannot change a bit set at ’0’ back to ’1’. One of the Erase Com­mands must be used to set all the bits in a block or in the whole memory from ’0’ to ’1’.

Unlock Bypass Command. The Unlock Bypass command is used in conjunction with the Unlock Bypass Program command to program the memo­ry. When the access time to the device is long (as with some EPROM programmers) considerable time saving can be made by using these com­mands. Three Bus Write operations are required to issue the Unlock Bypass command.

Once the Unlock Bypass command has been is­sued the memory will only accept the Unlock By­pass Program command and the Unlock Bypass Reset command. The memory can be read as if in Read mode.

Unlock Bypass Program Command. The Un­lock Bypass Program command can be used to program one address in memory at a time. The command requires two Bus Write operations, the final write operation latches the address and data, and starts the Program/Erase Controller.

The Program operation using the Unlock Bypass Program command behaves identically to the Pro­gram operation using the Program command. A protected block cannot be programmed; the oper­ation cannot be aborted and the Status Register is read. Errors must be reset using the Read/Reset command, which leaves the device in Unlock By­pass Mode. See the Program command for details on the behavior.

Unlock Bypass Reset Command. The Unlock Bypass Reset command can be used to return to Read/Reset mode from Unlock Bypass Mode. Two Bus Write operations are required to issue the Unlock Bypass Reset command. Read/Reset command does not exit from Unlock Bypass Mode.

Chip Erase Command. The Chip Erase com­mand can be used to erase the entire chip. Six Bus Write operations are required to issue the Chip Erase Command and start the Program/Erase Controller.

If any blocks are protected then these are ignored and all the other blocks are erased. If all of the blocks are protected the Chip Erase operation ap­pears to start but will terminate within about 100µs, leaving the data unchanged. No error condition is given when protected blocks are ignored.
During the erase operation the memory will ignore all commands. It is not possible to issue any com­mand to abort the operation. Typical chip erase
times are given in Table 6. All Bus Read opera­tions during the Chip Erase operation will output the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs. See the section on the Status Register for more details.
After the Chip Erase operation has completed the memory will return to the Read Mode, unless an error has occurred. When an error occurs the memory will continue to output the Status Regis­ter. A Read/Reset command must be issued to re­set the error condition and return to Read Mode.
The Chip Erase Command sets all of the bits in un­protected blocks of the memory to ’1’. All previous data is lost.
Block Erase Command. The Block Erase com­mand can be used to erase a list of one or more blocks. Six Bus Write operations are required to select the first block in the list. Each additional block in the list can be selected by repeating the sixth Bus Write operation using the address of the additional block. The Block Erase operation starts the Program/Erase Controller about 50µs after the last Bus Write operation. Once the Program/Erase Controller starts it is not possible to select any more blocks. Each additional block must therefore be selected within 50µs of the last block. The 50µs timer restarts when an additional block is selected. The Status Register can be read after the sixth Bus Write operation. See the Status Register sec­tion for details on how to identify if the Program/ Erase Controller has started the Block Erase oper­ation.
If any selected blocks are protected then these are ignored and all the other selected blocks are erased. If all of the selected blocks are protected the Block Erase operation appears to start but will terminate within about 100µs, leaving the data un­changed. No error condition is given when protect­ed blocks are ignored.
During the Block Erase operation the memory will ignore all commands except the Erase Suspend command. Typical block erase times are given in Table 6. All Bus Read operations during the Block Erase operation will output the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs. See the section on the Status Register for more details.
After the Block Erase operation has completed the memory will return to the Read Mode, unless an error has occurred. When an error occurs the memory will continue to output the Status Regis­ter. A Read/Reset command must be issued to re­set the error condition and return to Read mode.
The Block Erase Command sets all of the bits in the unprotected selected blocks to ’1’. All previous data in the selected blocks is lost.

Erase Suspend Command. The Erase Suspend Command may be used to temporarily suspend a

13/40
M29W160ET, M29W160EB
Block Erase operation and return the memory to Read mode. The command requires one Bus Write operation.
The Program/Erase Controller will suspend within the Erase Suspend Latency Time (refer to Table 6 for value) of the Erase Suspend Command being issued. Once the Program/Erase Controller has stopped the memory will be set to Read mode and the Erase will be suspended. If the Erase Suspend command is issued during the period when the memory is waiting for an additional block (before the Program/Erase Controller starts) then the Erase is suspended immediately and will start im­mediately when the Erase Resume Command is issued. It is not possible to select any further blocks to erase after the Erase Resume.
During Erase Suspend it is possible to Read and Program cells in blocks that are not being erased; both Read and Program operations behave as normal on these blocks. If any attempt is made to program in a protected block or in the suspended block then the Program command is ignored and the data remains unchanged. The Status Register is not read and no error condition is given. Read­ing from blocks that are being erased will output the Status Register.
It is also possible to issue the Auto Select, Read CFI Query and Unlock Bypass commands during
an Erase Suspend. The Read/Reset command must be issued to return the device to Read Array mode before the Resume command will be ac­cepted.

Erase Resume Command. The Erase Resume command must be used to restart the Program/ Erase Controller from Erase Suspend. An erase can be suspended and resumed more than once.

Read CFI Query Command. The Read CFI Query Command is used to read data from the Common Flash Interface (CFI) Memory Area. This command is valid when the device is in the Read Array mode, or when the device is in Auto Select mode.

One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Read CFI Query Command. Once the command is is­sued subsequent Bus Read operations read from the Common Flash Interface Memory Area.
The Read/Reset command must be issued to re­turn the device to the previous mode (the Read Ar­ray mode or Auto Select mode). A second Read/ Reset command would be needed if the device is to be put in the Read Array mode from Auto Select mode.
See Appendix B, Tables 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 for details on the information contained in the Common Flash Interface (CFI) memory area.

STATUS REGISTER

Bus Read operations from any address always read the Status Register during Program and Erase operations. It is also read during Erase Sus­pend when an address within a block being erased is accessed.
The bits in the Status Register are summarized in Table 7, Status Register Bits.

Data Polling Bit (DQ7). The Data Polling Bit can be used to identify whether the Program/Erase Controller has successfully completed its opera­tion or if it has responded to an Erase Suspend. The Data Polling Bit is output on DQ7 when the Status Register is read.

During Program operations the Data Polling Bit outputs the complement of the bit being pro­grammed to DQ7. After successful completion of the Program operation the memory returns to Read mode and Bus Read operations from the ad­dress just programmed output DQ7, not its com­plement.
During Erase operations the Data Polling Bit out­puts ’0’, the complement of the erased state of DQ7. After successful completion of the Erase op­eration the memory returns to Read Mode.
In Erase Suspend mode the Data Polling Bit will output a ’1’ during a Bus Read operation within a block being erased. The Data Polling Bit will change from a ’0’ to a ’1’ when the Program/Erase Controller has suspended the Erase operation.
Figure 7, Data Polling Flowchart, gives an exam­ple of how to use the Data Polling Bit. A Valid Ad­dress is the address being programmed or an

Toggle Bit (DQ6). The Toggle Bit can be used to identify whether the Program/Erase Controller has successfully completed its operation or if it has re­sponded to an Erase Suspend. The Toggle Bit is output on DQ6 when the Status Register is read.

During Program and Erase operations the Toggle Bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc., with succes­sive Bus Read operations at any address. After successful completion of the operation the memo­ry returns to Read mode.
During Erase Suspend mode the Toggle Bit will output when addressing a cell within a block being erased. The Toggle Bit will stop toggling when the Program/Erase Controller has suspended the Erase operation.
If any attempt is made to erase a protected block, the operation is aborted, no error is signalled and DQ6 toggles for approximately 100µs. If any at­tempt is made to program a protected block or a suspended block, the operation is aborted, no er­ror is signalled and DQ6 toggles for approximately 1µs.
Figure 8, Data Toggle Flowchart, gives an exam­ple of how to use the Data Toggle Bit.

Error Bit (DQ5). The Error Bit can be used to identify errors detected by the Program/Erase Controller. The Error Bit is set to ’1’ when a Pro­gram, Block Erase or Chip Erase operation fails to write the correct data to the memory. If the Error Bit is set a Read/Reset command must be issued before other commands are issued. The Error bit is output on DQ5 when the Status Register is read.

Note that the Program command cannot change a bit set to ’0’ back to ’1’ and attempting to do so will set DQ5 to ‘1’. A Bus Read operation to that ad­dress will show the bit is still ‘0’. One of the Erase commands must be used to set all the bits in a block or in the whole memory from ’0’ to ’1’

Erase Timer Bit (DQ3). The Erase Timer Bit can be used to identify the start of Program/Erase Controller operation during a Block Erase com­mand. Once the Program/Erase Controller starts erasing the Erase Timer Bit is set to ’1’. Before the Program/Erase Controller starts the Erase Timer Bit is set to ’0’ and additional blocks to be erased may be written to the Command Interface. The Erase Timer Bit is output on DQ3 when the Status Register is read.

Alternative Toggle Bit (DQ2). The Alternative Toggle Bit can be used to monitor the Program/ Erase controller during Erase operations. The Al­ternative Toggle Bit is output on DQ2 when the Status Register is read.

During Chip Erase and Block Erase operations the Toggle Bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc., with successive Bus Read operations from addresses within the blocks being erased. A protected block is treated the same as a block not being erased. Once the operation completes the memory returns to Read mode.
During Erase Suspend the Alternative Toggle Bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc. with successive Bus Read operations from addresses within the blocks being erased. Bus Read operations to ad­dresses within blocks not being erased will output the memory cell data as if in Read mode.
After an Erase operation that causes the Error Bit to be set the Alternative Toggle Bit can be used to identify which block or blocks have caused the er­ror. The Alternative Toggle Bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc. with successive Bus Read Opera­tions from addresses within blocks that have not erased correctly. The Alternative Toggle Bit does not change if the addressed block has erased cor­rectly.

APPENDIX B. COMMON FLASH INTERFACE (CFI)

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 determine various electrical and timing 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 CFI Query Command is issued the de­vice enters CFI Query mode and the data structure is read from the memory. Tables 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

The CFI data structure also contains a security area where a 64 bit unique security number is writ­ten (see Table 26, Security Code area). This area can be accessed only in Read mode by the final user. It is impossible to change the security num­ber after it has been written by Numonyx. Issue a Read command to return to Read mode.
Note: The Common Flash Interface is only avail­able for Temperature range 6 (–40 to 85°C).

APPENDIX C. BLOCK PROTECTION

Block protection can be used to prevent any oper­ation from modifying the data stored in the Flash memory. Each Block can be protected individually. Once protected, Program and Erase operations on the block fail to change the data.
There are three techniques that can be used to control Block Protection, these are the Program­mer technique, the In-System technique and Tem­porary Unprotection. Temporary Unprotection is controlled by the Reset/Block Temporary Unpro­tection pin, RP scriptions section.
Unlike the Command Interface of the Program/ Erase Controller, the techniques for protecting and unprotecting blocks could change between differ­ent Flash memory suppliers.

Programmer Technique

The Programmer technique uses high (V age levels on some of the bus pins. These cannot be achieved using a standard microprocessor bus, therefore the technique is recommended only for use in Programming Equipment.
To protect a block follow the flowchart in Figure 17, Programmer Equipment Block Protect Flowchart. During the Block Protect algorithm, the A19-A12 Address Inputs indicate the address of the block to be protected. The block will be correctly protected only if A19-A12 remain valid and stable, and if Chip Enable is kept Low, V and Verify phases.
The Chip Unprotect algorithm is used to unprotect all the memory blocks at the same time. This algo­rithm can only be used if all of the blocks are pro­tected first. To unprotect the chip follow Figure 18,
; this is described in the Signal De-
) volt-
ID
, all along the Protect
IL
Programmer Equipment Chip Unprotect Flow­chart. Table 27, Programmer Technique Bus Op­erations, gives a summary of each operation.
The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care should be taken to ensure that, where a pause is specified, it is followed as closely as possible. Do not abort the procedure before reaching the end. Chip Unprotect can take several seconds and a user message should be provided to show that the operation is progressing.

In-System Technique

The In-System technique requires a high voltage level on the Reset/Blocks Temporary Unprotect pin, RP
. This can be achieved without violating the maximum ratings of the components on the micro­processor bus, therefore this technique is suitable for use after the Flash memory has been fitted to the system.
To protect a block follow the flowchart in Figure 19, In-System Block Protect Flowchart. To unprotect the whole chip it is necessary to protect all of the blocks first, then all the blocks can be unprotected at the same time. To unprotect the chip follow Fig­ure 20, In-System Chip Unprotect Flowchart.
The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care should be taken to ensure that, where a pause is specified, it is followed as closely as possible. Do not allow the microprocessor to service interrupts that will upset the timing and do not abort the pro­cedure before reaching the end. Chip Unprotect can take several seconds and a user message should be provided to show that the operation is progressing.
