SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure 1 and Table 1.
Address Inputs (A0-A18). The address inputs
for thememory arrayarelatched duringa writeoperation on the falling edge at Chip Enable E or
Write Enable W. In Word-wide organisation the
address lines are A0-A18, in Byte-wide organisation DQ15A–1 acts as an additional LSB address
line. WhenA9 is raised to VID, eithera Read Electronic Signature Manufacturer or Device Code,
Block Protection Status ora Write BlockProtection
or BlockUnprotection isenableddepending on the
combination oflevels on A0, A1,A6, A12andA15.
Data Input/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7). These Inputs/
Outputs are used in theByte-wide and Word-wide
organisations. Theinput isdata to beprogrammed
in the memory array ora command tobe written to
the C.I.Both are latched onthe rising edge ofChip
Enable E or Write Enable W. The output is data
from the Memory Array, the Electronic Signature
Manufacturer or Device codes, the Block Protection Status or the Status register Data Polling bit
DQ7, the Toggle Bits DQ6 and DQ2, the Error bit
DQ5 ortheErase Timer bitDQ3. Outputs arevalid
when Chip Enable E andOutput Enable G are active. The output is high impedance when the chip
is deselected or the outputs are disabled and
when RP isat a Low level.
Data Input/Outputs (DQ8-DQ14 and DQ15A–
1). These Inputs/Outputs are additionally used in
the Word-wide organisation. When BYTE is High
DQ8-DQ14 and DQ15A–1 act as the MSB of the
Data Input or Output, functioning as described for
DQ0-DQ7 above, and DQ8-DQ15 are ’don’t care’
for command inputs or status outputs. When
BYTE is Low, DQ0-DQ14 are high impedance,
DQ15A–1 is the Address A–1 input.
Chip Enable (E). The Chip Enable input activates the memory control logic, input buffers, decoders andsense amplifiers.E Highdeselects the
memory and reduces the power consumption to
the stan-by level. E can also be used to control
writing to the command register and to the memory array, while W remains at a low level. The Chip
Enable must be forcedto VIDduring the Block Unprotection operation.
Output Enable (G). The Output Enable gates the
outputs through the data buffersduring a read operation. When G is High the outputs are High impedance. G must be forced to VIDlevel during
Block Protection and Unprotection operations.
Write Enable (W). This input controls writing to
the Command Register and Address and Data
latches.
Byte/WordOrganizationSelect (BYTE). The BYTE
input selects the output configuration for the device: Byte-wide (x8) mode or Word-wide (x16)
mode. When BYTE is Low, the Byte-wide mode is
selected andthe data is read and programmed on
DQ0-DQ7. In this mode, DQ8-DQ14 are at high
impedance and DQ15A–1 is the LSB address.
When BYTE is High, the Word-wide mode is selected and the data is read and programmed on
DQ0-DQ15.
Ready/Busy Output (RB). Ready/Busy is an
open-drain output and gives the internal state of
the P/E.C. of thedevice. When RB is Low, the device is Busy with a Program or Erase operation
and it will not accept any additional program or
erase instructions except the Erase Suspend instruction. WhenRB is High,the deviceis ready for
any Read, Program or Erase operation. The RB
will also be Highwhen the memory is put in Erase
Suspend or Stan-by modes.
Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect Input (RP).
The RP Input provides hardware reset and protected block(s) temporary unprotection functions.
Reset of the memory is achieved by pulling RP to
VILfor at least t
PLPX
. When the reset pulse is given, if the memory is in Read or Stan-by modes, it
will be available for new operations in t
PHEL
after
the rising edge of RP. If the memory is in Erase,
Erase Suspend or Program modes the reset will
take t
PLYH
during which the RB signal will be held
at VIL. Theend of thememory reset will be indicated by the rising edge of RB. A hardware reset during an Erase or Program operation will corrupt the
data being programmed or the sector(s) being
erased. See Tables 15, 16, and Figure 11.
Temporary block unprotection is made by holding
RP at VID. In this condition previously protected
blocks can be programmed or erased. The transition of RP from VIHto VIDmust slower than t
PH-
PHH
. See Tables 17, 18, and Figure 11. When RP
is returned from VIDto VIHall blocks temporarily
unprotected will be again protected.
VCCSupply Voltage. The power supply for all
operations (Read, Program and Erase).
VSSGround. VSSis the reference for all voltage
measurements.
