SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

The M29DW324D is a 32 Mbit (4Mb x8 or 2Mb 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 d efaults to its Read mode where it can be read in the same way as a ROM or EPROM.
The device features an asymmet rical block archi­tecture. The M29DW324D has an array of 8 pa­rameter and 63 main blocks and is divided into two Banks, A and B, providing Dual Bank operations. While programming or erasing in Bank A, read op­erations are possible in Bank B and vice versa. Only one bank at a time is allowed to be in pro­gram or erase mode. The bank architecture is summarized in Table 2. M29DW324DT locates the Parameter Blocks at the top of the memory ad­dress space while the M29DW324DB locates the Parameter Blocks starting from the bottom.
M29DW324D h as an extra 32 KWord (x16 mode) or 64 KByte (x8 mode) block, the Extended Block, that can be accessed using a dedicated com­mand. The Extended Block can be protected and so is useful for storing security information. How-
M29DW324DT, M29DW324DB
ever the protection is irreversible, once protected the protection cannot be undone.
Each block can be erased indep endently so it is possible to preserve valid dat a while old data is erased. The blocks can be protected to prevent accidental Program or Erase commands from modifying the memory. Program and E rase com­mands are written to the Command Interface of the memory. An on-chip Program/Erase Controller simplifies the process of prog ramming or eras ing 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 command set required to control the memory is consistent with JEDEC standards.
Chip Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable sig­nals control the bus operation of the memory. They allow simple conne ction to most m icropro­cessors, often without additional logic.
The memory is offered in TSOP48 (12x20mm), TFBGA63 (7x11mm, 0.8mm pitch) and TFBGA48 (6x8mm, 0.8mm pitch) packages. The memory is
supplied with all the bi t s erased (set t o ’1’).

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS

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

Address Inputs (A0-A20). The Address Inputs select the cells i n the memory array to a ccess 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 I/O outputs 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 I/O outputs the data stored at the selected address during a Bus Read operation when B Y TE V

Data Input/Output o r Address Input (DQ15A –1).

When BYTE
is High, VIH, this pin behaves as a
Data Input/Output pin (as DQ8-DQ14). When
is Low, VIL, this pin behaves as an address
BYTE
pin; DQ15A–1 Low will select the LSB of the ad­dressed Word, DQ15A–1 High will select the MSB. Throughout the text consider references to the Data Input/Output to include this pin when BYTE
is High and references to the Address Inputs to in­clude this pin when BYTE
is Low except when
stated explicitly otherwise.

). The Output Enable, G, con-
trols the Bus Read operation of the memory.
Write Enable (W
). The Write Enable, W, controls
the Bus Write operation of the memory’s Com­mand Interf a c e .
Write Protect (VPP/WP). The VPP/Write
V
PP/
Protect
pin provides two functions. The VPP func­tion allo ws the memory to use an exte rnal high volt age power suppl y t o reduce the time required for P rogram operatio ns. This i s achi eved by by­passing the unlock cycles an d/or using the Dou­ble Word or Quadruple Byte Program commands. The Write Protect function provides a hardware method of protecting the two outermost boot blocks.

BUS OPERATIONS

There are five standard bus operations that control the device. These are Bus Read, Bus Wri te, Out­put Disable, Standby and Automatic Standby.
The Dual Bank architecture of the M29DW324D allows read/write operations in Bank A, while read operations are being executed in Bank B or vice versa. Write operations are only allowed in one bank at a time.
See Tables 3 and 4, Bus Operations, for a summa­ry. Typically glitches of less t han 5ns o n Chi p E n­able or Write Enable are ignored b y 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 sig nal, 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 12, Read Mode AC Waveforms, and Table 13, 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 desire d address on t he 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 a re 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 13 and 14, Write AC Waveforms, and Tables 14 and 15, Write AC Characteristics, for details of the timing require­ments.

Output Disa bl e . The Data Inputs/Outputs are in the high impedance s tate 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 S upply Current to the Standby Supply Current, I be held within V
± 0.2V. For the Standby current
level see Table 12, 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-

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

are used to drive the bus and the bus is inactive for 300ns 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 Protec tion. These bus opera­tions are intended for use by programming equip­ment and are not usually used in applications. They require V
to be applied to some pins.

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. 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 5, or 6, de pending 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. 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. If the Read/Reset command is issued during the timeout of a Block erase operation then
the memory will take up to 10µs to abort. During the abort period no valid data can be read from the memory. 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 , the Block Protection Status and the Extended Memory Block Verify Code. It can be addressed to either Bank. Three consecutive Bus Write operations are re­quired to issue the A uto Select comm and. The f i­nal Write cycle must be addressed to one of the Banks. Once the Auto Select command is issued Bus Read operations to the B an k where the com­mand was issued output the Auto Select data. Bus Read operations to the other Bank will output the contents of the memory array. The memory re­mains in Auto S elect mode until a Re ad/Reset or CFI Query command is issued.
In Auto Select mode the Manufac turer Code can be read using a Bus Read operation with A0 = V and A1 = VIL and A20 = Bank Addres s. The ot her address bits may be set to either V
or VIH.
IL
The Device Code can be read using a B us Read operation with A0 = V
and A1 = VIL and A20 =
IH
Bank Address. The other address bits may be set to either V
or VIH.
IL
The Block Protecti on St at us of e ac h bl ock can be read using a Bus Rea d operation with A0 = V A1 = V
, A20 = Bank Address and A12-A17 spec-
IH
IL
ifying the address of the block inside the Bank. The other address bits ma y be set t o either V
or

M29DW324DT, M29DW324DB
V
. If the addressed block is protected then 01h is
IH
output on Data Inputs/Outputs DQ0-DQ7, other­wise 00h is output.

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 Autose lec ted mode .
One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Read CFI Query Command. Once the command is is­sued subsequent Bus Read ope rations read from the Common Flash Interface Memory Area.
The Read/Reset command m ust be issued to re­turn the device to the previous mode (the Read Ar­ray mode or Autoselected mode). A second Read/ Reset command would be needed if the device is to be put in the Read Array mode from Autoselect­ed mode.
See Appendix B, Tables 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 for details on the information contained in the Common Flash Interface (CFI) memory area.

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 pro tected 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 operat ion the memo ry will ig­nore all commands. I t is n ot poss ible t o iss ue any command to abort or pause the operation. After programming has started, Bus Read operations in the Bank being programmed output the Status Register content, while Bus Read operations to the other Bank output the contents of the memory array. See the section on the Status Register for more details. Typical program times are g iven in Table 7.
After the program operation has completed the
IL
memory will return to the Read mode, unle ss an error has occurred. When an error occurs Bus Read operations to the Bank where the command was issued will continue to output the Status Reg­ister. A Read/Reset command must be issued t o reset the error condition and return t o Read mode.
Note that the Program command cannot change a bit set at ’0’ bac k to ’1’. One of the E rase Com-
,
mands must be used to set all the bits in a block or in the whole memory from ’0’ to ’1’.

Fast Program Commands

There are two Fast Program commands available to improve the programming throughput, by writing several adjacent words or bytes in parallel. The Quadruple Byte Program command is available for x8 operations, while the Double Word Program command is available for x16 operations.

Quadruple Byte Program Command. The Qua­druple Byte Program command is used to write a page of four adjacent Bytes in parallel. The four bytes must differ only for addresses A0, DQ15A-1. Five bus write cycles are necessary to issue the Quadruple Byte Program command .

The first bus cycle sets up the Quadruple Byte
Program Command.
The second bus cycle latches the Address and
the Data of the first byte to be written.
The third bus cycle latches the Address and the
Data of the second byte to be written.
The fourth bus cycle latches the Address and
the Data of the third byte to be written.
The fifth bus cycl e latches the Addres s and th e
Data of the fourth byte to be written and starts the Program/Erase Controller.

Double Word Program Command. The Double Word Program command is used to write a p age of two adjacent words in parallel. Th e two words must differ only for the address A0.

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.
Only one bank can be programmed at any one time. The other b ank must be in Read mode or Erase Suspend.
Programming should not be attempted when V is not at V
PPH
.
PP
After programming has started, Bus Read opera­tions in the Bank being programmed output the Status Register content, while Bus Read opera­tions to the other B ank outpu t the cont ents of t he memory ar ray.
After the program operation has completed the memory will return to the Read mode, unle ss an error has occurred. When an error occurs Bus Read operations to the Bank where the command was issued will continue to output the Status Reg­ister. A Read/Reset command must be issued to reset the error condition and return t o Read mode.
Note that the Fast Program commands 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’.
Typical Program times are given in Tab le 7, Pro­gram, Erase Times and Program/Erase Endur­ance Cycles.

Unlock Bypass Command.

The Unlock Bypass command is used in conjunc­tion with the Unlock Bypass Program command to program the memory faster than with the standard program commands. Whe n the cycle time to the device is long (as with some EPROM program­mers) considerable time saving can be m ade by using these commands. Three Bus Write opera­tions are required to issue the Unlock Bypass command.
Once the Unlock Bypas s command has bee n is­sued the bank enters Unlock Bypass mode. The Unlock Bypass Program command can then be is­sued to program addresses within the bank, or the Unlock Bypass Reset command can be issued to return the bank to Read mode. In Unlock Bypass mode the memory can be read as if in Read mode.
When V
is applied to the VPP/Write Protect pin
PP
the memory automatically enters the Unlock By­pass mode and the Unlock Bypass Program com­mand can be issued immediately.

Unlock Bypass Program Command.

The Unlock Bypass Program command can be used to program one address in the memory array at a time. The command requires two B us 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. The operation cannot be aborted, a Bus Read opera­tion to the Bank where the command was issued outputs the Status Register. See the Program command for details on the behavior.

Unlock Bypass Reset Command.

The Unlock Bypass Rese t 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 a re 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
16/49
M29DW324DT, M29DW324DB
blocks are protect e d th e Chip Erase op erat i on ap-
pears 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, including the Erase Suspen d com­mand. It is not possible to i ssue any c ommand t o abort the operation. Typical chip erase tim es are given in Table 7. 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 t he memory will return to the Read Mode, unle ss 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 com mand can be used to erase a list of one or more blocks in a Bank. It sets all of the bits in the unprotected selected blocks to ’1’. All previous data in the selected blocks is lost.
Six Bus Write operations are required to select the first block in the list. Each a dditional block in the list can be selected by repeating the sixth Bus Write operation using the address of the additional block. All blocks must belong to the same Bank; if a block belonging to th e other B ank is given it will not be erased. The Block Erase operation starts the Program/Erase Controller after a t ime-out pe­riod of 50µs after the last Bus Write operation. Once the Pr ogram /Erase Co ntroller st arts 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. After the sixth Bus Write operation a Bus Read ope ration within the same Bank will output the S ta tus R e gister. Se e 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 p rotected 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 me mory wi ll ignore all commands except the Erase Susp end command and the Read/Reset command which is only accepted during the 50µs time-out period. Typical block erase times are given in Table 7.
After the Erase operation has started all Bus Read operations to the Bank being erased 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, unle ss an error has occurred. When an error occurs Bus Read operations to the Bank where the command was issued will continue to output the Status Reg­ister. A Read/Reset command must be issued t o reset the error condition and return t o Read mode.

Erase Suspend Command.

The Erase Suspend Command may be used to temporarily suspend a B lock Eras e operation and return the memory to Read mode. T he comm and requires one Bus Write operation.
The Program/Eras e Controlle r will suspend within the Erase Suspend Latency time of the Erase Sus­pend Command being issued. Once the Program/ Erase Controller has stopped the mem ory will be set to Read mode and the E ras e wi ll be s uspend­ed. If the Erase Suspend command is issued dur­ing the period when the memory is waiting for an additional block (before the Program/Er ase Con­troller starts) then the Erase is suspended immedi­ately and will start immediately when the Erase Resume Command is issued. It is not possibl e 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 comm and is ignored and the data remains unchanged. The Status Register is not read and no error condi tion 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 du ring an Erase Suspend. The Read/Reset command must be issued to return the device to Read Array mode before the Resume command will be ac­cepte d.
During Erase Suspend a Bus Read operation to the Extended Block will output the Extended Block data.

Erase Resume Command.

The Erase Resume command must be used to re­start the Program/Erase Controller after an Erase Suspend. The device must be in Read Array mode before the Resume command will be accepted. An erase can be suspe nded and resumed mo re than once.

Enter Extended Block Command

The M29DW324D has an extra 64KByte block (Extended Block) that can only be accessed using the Enter Extended Block command. Three Bus write cycles are required to issue the Extended Block command. Once the command has been is­sued the device enters Extended Block mode where all Bus Read or Program operations to the Boot Block addresses access the Extended Block. The Extended Block (with the same address as the boot block) cannot be erased, and can be treated as one-time prog rammabl e (OTP) m emo­ry. In Extended Block mode the Boot Blocks are not accessible. In Extended Block mode dual op­erations are possible, with the Extended Block mapped in Bank A. When in Extended Block mode, Erase Commands in Bank A are not al­lowed.

To exit from the Extended Block mode the Exit Ex­tended Block command must be issued.
The Extended Block can be protected, however once protected the protection cannot be undone.

The Exit Extended Block command is used to exit from the Extended Block mod e and ret urn the de­vice to Read mode. Four Bus Write operations are required to issue the command.
Block Protect and Chip Unprotect Commands. Groups of blocks can be protected against acci-
dental Program or Erase. The Protection Groups are shown in Appendix A, Tables 21 and 22, Block Addresses. The whole chip can be unprotected to allow the data inside the blocks to be changed.

STATUS REGISTER

The M29DW324D has two Status Registers, one for each bank. The Status Registers provide infor­mation on the current or previous Program or Erase operations executed in each bank. The var­ious bits convey information and errors on the op­eration. Bus Read operations from any address within the Bank, 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 8, 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 o utput DQ7, not its com­plement.
During Er ase ope rations the Data Polling Bit ou t-
puts ’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 8, Data Polling Flowchart, gives an exam­ple of how to use the Data Polling Bit. A Valid Ad­dress is the address being programmed or an address within the block being erased.

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 Suspen d. 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’, et c., with su cces­sive 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.
Figure 9, Data Toggle Flowchart, g ives 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 B it 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/Rese t command must be issued before other commands are issued. The E rror 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 s h ow the bit is s ti ll ‘ 0 ’. One of the Era s e commands must b e 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 block s 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 ou tput the memory cell data as if in Read mode.
After an Erase operation that c auses t he 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 Re ad Opera­tions from addresses within blocks that have not erased correctly. The Alternative Togg le 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 determi ne 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 CFI Query Command is issued the de­vice enters CFI Query mode and the data structure

APPENDIX C. EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK

The M29DW324D has an extra block, the Extend­ed Block, that can be accessed using a dedicated command.
This Extended Block is 32 KWords in x16 mode and 64 KBytes in x8 mode. It is used as a security block (to provide a permanent security identifica­tion number) or to store additional information.
The Extended Block is either Factory Locked or Customer Lockable, its status is indicated by bit
DQ7. This bit is permane ntly set t o either ‘ 1’ or ‘ 0’ at the factory and cannot be changed. When set to ‘1’, it indicates that the device is factory locked and the Extended Block is protected. When set to ‘0’, it indicates that the device is customer lockable and the Extended Block is unprotected. Bit DQ7 being permanently locked to either ‘1’ or ‘0’ is another security feature which ensures that a customer lockable device cannot be used instead of a facto­ry locked one.
Bit DQ7 is the most significant bit in the Extended Block Verify Code and a specific proced ure must be followed to read it. See “Extended Memory Block Ve rify Code
tions, BYTE = V V
, respectively, for details of how to read bit
IH
DQ7. The Extended Block can only be accessed when
the device is in Extended Block mode. Fo r details of how the Extended Block mode is entered and exited, refer to the Enter Extended Block Com­mand and Exit Extended Block Command. para-
graphs, and to Tables 5 and 6, “Commands, 16-bit mode, B YTE = V BYTE = V
IL
” in Table s 3 a nd 4, Bus O pera-
and Bus Operat ions, BYTE =
IL
” and “Commands, 8-bit m ode,
IH
”, respectively.

Factory Locked Extended Block

In devices where the Extended Block is factory locked, the Security Identification Number is writ­ten to the Extended Block address space (see Ta­ble 29, Extended Block Address and Data) in the factory. The DQ7 bit is set to ‘1’ and the Extended Block cannot be unprotected.

Customer Lockable Extended Block

A device where the Extended Block is customer lockable is delivered with the DQ7 bit set to ‘0’ and the Extended Block unprotected. It is up to the customer to program and protect the Extended Block but care must be taken because the protec­tion of the Extended Block is not reversible.
There are two ways of protecting the Extended Block:
Issue the Enter Extended Block command t o
place the device in Extended Block mode, then use the In-System Technique (refer to Appendix D, In-System Technique and to the corresponding flowcharts, Figures 22 and 23, for a detailed explanation of the technique).
Issue the Enter Extended Block command to
place the device in Extended Block mode, then use the Programmer Technique (refer to Appendix D, Programmer Technique and to the corresponding flowcharts, Figures 20 and 21, for a detailed explanation of the technique).
Once the Extended Block is programmed and pro­tected, the Exit Extended Block command must be issued to exit the Extended Block mode and return the device to Read mode.

APPENDIX D. BLOCK PROTECTION

Block protection can be used to prevent any oper­ation from modifying the data stored in the memo­ry. The blocks are protected in groups, refer to Appendix A, Tables 21 and 22 for details of the Protection Groups. Once p rotected, P rogram and Erase operations within the protected group 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/B lock Temporary Unpro­tection pin, RP
; this is described in the Signal De-
scriptions section. To protect the Extended Block issue the Enter Ex-
tended Block command and then use either the Programmer or In-System technique. Once pro­tected issue the Exit Extended Block command to return to read mode. The Extended Block protec­tion is irreversible, once protected th e protection cannot be undone.

Programm er Technique

The Programmer techniq ue uses high (V
) volt-
ID
age levels on some of the bus pins. These cannot be achieved using a standard microprocessor bus, therefore the technique is recommended on ly for use in Programming Equipment.
To protect a group of blocks follow the flowchart in Figure 20, Programmer Equip ment Block Protect Flowchart. To unprotect the whole chip it is neces­sary to protect all of the groups first, then all groups can be unprotected at the same time. To unprotect the chip follow F igure 21, Programmer Equipment Chip Unprotect Flowchart. Table 30,
M29DW324DT, M29DW324DB
Programmer Technique B us Operations, gives a summary of each operation.
The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care should be taken to en sure that, where a pau se is specified, it is followed as closely as possible. Do not abort the procedure be fore 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 volt age level on the Reset/Blocks Temporary Unprotect pin, RP maximum ratings of the components on the micro­processor bus, therefore this technique is suitable for use after the memory has been fitted to the sys­tem.
To protect a group of blocks follow the flowchart in Figure 22, In-System B lock Protect Flowchart. T o unprotect the whole chip it is necessary to protect all of the groups first, then all the groups can be unprotected at the same time. To unprotect the chip follow Figure 23, In-System Chip Unprotect Flowchart.
The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care should be taken to en sure that, where a pau se is specified, it is followed as closely as possible. Do not allow the microprocessor to s ervice 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.
. This can be achieved without violating the
