DESCRIPTION

The LH28F800BG-L/BGH-L flash memories with
SmartVoltage technology are high-density, low-cost,
nonvolatile, read/write storage solution for a wide
range of applications. The LH28F800BG-L/BGH-L
can operate at V
low voltage operation capability realizes longer
battery life and suits for cellular phone application.
Their boot, parameter and main-blocked
architecture, flexible voltage and enhanced cycling
capability provide for highly flexible component
suitable for portable terminals and personal
computers. Their enhanced suspend capabilities
provide for an ideal solution for code + data storage
applications. For secure code storage applications,
such as networking, where code is either directly
executed out of flash or downloaded to DRAM, the
LH28F800BG-L/BGH-L offer two levels of protection
: absolute protection with V
hardware boot block locking. These alternatives
give designers ultimate control of their code security
needs.

This product features an asymmetrically-blocked
architecture providing system memory integration.
Each erase block can be erased independently of
the others up to 100 000 times. For the address
locations of the blocks, see the memory map in

Fig. 1.

Boot Blocks : The two boot blocks are intended to

replace a dedicated boot PROM in a micro­processor or microcontroller-based system. The
boot blocks of 4 k words (4 096 words) feature
hardware controllable write-protection to protect the
crucial microprocessor boot code from accidental
modification. The protection of the boot blocks is
controlled using a combination of the V

PP, RP# and

WP# pins.

BLOCK DIAGRAM

LH28F800BG-L/BGH-L (FOR TSOP, CSP)

Parameter Blocks : The boot block architecture

includes parameter blocks to facilitate storage of
frequently update small parameters that would
normally require an EEPROM. By using software
techniques, the byte-rewrite functionality of
EEPROMs can be emulated. Each boot block
component contains six parameter blocks of 4 k
words (4 096 words) each. The parameter blocks
are not write-protectable.

Main Blocks : The reminder is divided into main
blocks for data or code storage. Each 8 M-bit
device contains fifteen 32 k words (32 768 words)
blocks.

1.2 Product Overview

The LH28F800BG-L/BGH-L are high-performance
8 M-bit SmartVoltage flash memories organized as
512 k-word of 16 bits. The 512 k-word of data is
arranged in two 4 k-word boot blocks, six 4 k-word
parameter blocks and fifteen 32 k-word main blocks
which are individually erasable in-system. The
memory map is shown in Fig. 1.

SmartVoltage technology provides a choice of V
and VPP combinations, as shown in Table 1, to
meet system performance and power expectations.

A Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the
interface between the system processor and
internal operation of the device. A valid command
sequence written to the CUI initiates device
automation. An internal Write State Machine (WSM)
automatically executes the algorithms and timings
necessary for block erase and word write
operations.

A block erase operation erases one of the device’s
32 k-word blocks typically within 0.39 second (5 V
V

CC, 12 V VPP), 4 k-word blocks typically within

0.25 second (5 V V

CC, 12 V VPP) independent of

other blocks. Each block can be independently
erased 100 000 times. Block erase suspend mode
allows system software to suspend block erase to
read data from, or write data to any other block.

Writing memory data is performed in word
increments of the device’s 32 k-word blocks
typically within 8.4 µs (5 V V

system to read data from, or write to any other
flash memory array location.

The boot block is located at either the top or the
bottom of the address map in order to
accommodate different micro-processor protect for
boot code location. The hardware-lockable boot
block provides complete code security for the
kernel code required for system initialization.
Locking and unlocking of the boot block is
controlled by WP# and/or RP# (see Section 4.9 for
details). Block erase or word write for boot block
must not be carried out by WP# to low and RP# to

IH.

V

The status register indicates when the WSM’s block
erase or word write operation is finished.

The RY/BY# output gives an additional indicator of
WSM activity by providing both a hardware signal
of status (versus software polling) and status
masking (interrupt masking for background block
erase, for example). Status polling using RY/BY#
minimizes both CPU overhead and system power
consumption. When low, RY/BY# indicates that the
WSM is performing a block erase or word write.
RY/BY#-high indicates that the WSM is ready for a
new command, block erase is suspended (and
word write is inactive), word write is suspended, or
the device is in deep power-down mode.

2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The LH28F800BG-L/BGH-L SmartVoltage flash
memories include an on-chip WSM to manage
block erase and word write functions. It allows for :
100% TTL-level control inputs, fixed power supplies
during block erasure and word write, and minimal
processor overhead with RAM-like interface timings.

After initial device power-up or return from deep
power-down mode (see Table 2 "Bus Operations"),
the device defaults to read array mode.
Manipulation of external memory control pins allow
array read, standby and output disable operations.

Status register and identifier codes can be
accessed through the CUI independent of the V
voltage. High voltage on VPP enables successful
block erasure and word writing. All functions
associated with altering memory contents—block
erase, word write, status and identifier codes—are
accessed via the CUI and verified through the
status register.

Commands are written using standard micro­processor write timings. The CUI contents serve as
input to the WSM, which controls the block erase
and word write. The internal algorithms are
regulated by the WSM, including pulse repetition,
internal verification and margining of data.
Addresses and data are internally latched during
write cycles. Writing the appropriate command
outputs array data, accesses the identifier codes or
outputs status register data.

software to suspend a word write to read data from
any other flash memory array location.

2.1 Data Protection

Depending on the application, the system designer
may choose to make the V

PP power supply

switchable (available only when memory block
erases or word writes are required) or hardwired to

PPH1/2/3. The device accommodates either design

V
practice and encourages optimization of the
processor-memory interface.

When V

PP ≤ VPPLK, memory contents cannot be

altered. The CUI, with two-step block erase or word
write command sequences, provides protection
from unwanted operations even when high voltage
is applied to V
when V

CC is below the write lockout voltage VLKO

PP. All write functions are disabled

or when RP# is at VIL. The device’s boot blocks
locking capability for WP# provides additional
protection from inadvertent code or data alteration
by block erase and word write operations.

3 BUS OPERATION

The local CPU reads and writes flash memory in­system. All bus cycles to or from the flash memory
conform to standard microprocessor bus cycles.

3.1 Read

Information can be read from any block, identifier
codes or status register independent of the V
voltage. RP# can be at either VIH or VHH.

PP

Interface software that initiates and polls progress
of block erase and word write can be stored in any
block. This code is copied to and executed from
system RAM during flash memory updates. After
successful completion, reads are again possible via
the Read Array command. Block erase suspend
allows system software to suspend a block erase to
read/write data from/to blocks other than that which
is suspended. Word write suspend allows system

The first task is to write the appropriate read mode
command (Read Array, Read Identifier Codes or
Read Status Register) to the CUI. Upon initial
device power-up or after exit from deep power­down mode, the device automatically resets to read
array mode. Five control pins dictate the data flow
in and out of the component : CE#, OE#, WE#,
RP# and WP#. CE# and OE# must be driven
active to obtain data at the outputs. CE# is the

device selection control, and when active enables
the selected memory device. OE# is the data
output (DQ

0-DQ15) control and when active drives

the selected memory data onto the I/O bus. WE#
must be at V

IH and RP# must be at VIH or VHH.

Fig. 11 illustrates read cycle.

3.2 Output Disable

With OE# at a logic-high level (VIH), the device
outputs are disabled. Output pins (DQ

0-DQ15) are

placed in a high-impedance state.

3.3 Standby

CE# at a logic-high level (VIH) places the device in
standby mode which substantially reduces device
power consumption. DQ

0-DQ15 outputs are placed

in a high-impedance state independent of OE#. If
deselected during block erase or word write, the
device continues functioning, and consuming active
power until the operation completes.

3.4 Deep Power-Down

RP# at VIL initiates the deep power-down mode.

assert RP# during system reset. When the system
comes out of reset, it expects to read from the flash
memory. Automated flash memories provide status
information when accessed during block erase or
word write modes. If a CPU reset occurs with no
flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization may
not occur because the flash memory may be
providing status information instead of array data.
SHARP’s flash memories allow proper CPU
initialization following a system reset through the
use of the RP# input. In this application, RP# is
controlled by the same RESET# signal that resets
the system CPU.

3.5 Read Identifier Codes Operation

The read identifier codes operation outputs the
manufacture code and device code (see Fig. 2).
Using the manufacture and device codes, the
system CPU can automatically match the device
with its proper algorithms.

In read modes, RP#-low deselects the memory,
places output drivers in a high-impedance state and
turns off all internal circuits. RP# must be held low
for a minimum of 100 ns. Time t

PHQV is required

after return from power-down until initial memory
access outputs are valid. After this wake-up
interval, normal operation is restored. The CUI is
reset to read array mode and status register is set

The Block Erase command requires appropriate
command data and an address within the block to
be erased. The Word Write command requires the
command and address of the location to be written.

4.1 Read Array Command

Upon initial device power-up and after exit from
deep power-down mode, the device defaults to
read array mode. This operation is also initiated by
writing the Read Array command. The device
remains enabled for reads until another command
is written. Once the internal WSM has started a
block erase or word write, the device will not
recognize the Read Array command until the WSM
completes its operation unless the WSM is
suspended via an Erase Suspend or Word Write
Suspend command. The Read Array command
functions independently of the V

4.2 Read Identifier Codes Command

The identifier code operation is initiated by writing
the Read Identifier Codes command. Following the
command write, read cycles from addresses shown
in Fig. 2 retrieve the manufacture and device codes
(see Table 4 for identifier code values). To
terminate the operation, write another valid
command. Like the Read Array command, the
Read Identifier Codes command functions
independently of the V

IH or VHH. Following the Read Identifier Codes

Device Code (Top Boot) 00001H 0060H
Device Code (Bottom Boot) 00001H 0062H

4.3 Read Status Register Command

The status register may be read to determine when
a block erase or word write is complete and
whether the operation completed successfully. It
may be read at any time by writing the Read Status
Register command. After writing this command, all
subsequent read operations output data from the
status register until another valid command is
written. The status register contents are latched on

the falling edge of OE# or CE#, whichever occurs.
OE# or CE# must toggle to V

IH before further reads

to update the status register latch. The Read Status
Register command functions independently of the
V

PP voltage. RP# can be VIH or VHH.

4.4 Clear Status Register Command

Status register bits SR.5, SR.4, SR.3 or SR.1 are
set to "1"s by the WSM and can only be reset by
the Clear Status Register command. These bits
indicate various failure conditions (see Table 6). By
allowing system software to reset these bits,
several operations (such as cumulatively erasing
multiple blocks or writing several words in
sequence) may be performed. The status register
may be polled to determine if an error occurred
during the sequence.

To clear the status register, the Clear Status
Register command (50H) is written. It functions
independently of the applied V
be V

IH or VHH. This command is not functional

PP voltage. RP# can

during block erase or word write suspend modes.

4.5 Block Erase Command

Erase is executed one block at a time and initiated
by a two-cycle command. A block erase setup is
first written, followed by a block erase confirm.
This command sequence requires appropriate
sequencing and an address within the block to be
erased (erase changes all block data to FFFFH).
Block preconditioning, erase, and verify are handled
internally by the WSM (invisible to the system).
After the two-cycle block erase sequence is written,
the device automatically outputs status register data
when read (see Fig. 3). The CPU can detect block
erase completion by analyzing the output data of
the RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7.

When the block erase is complete, status register
bit SR.5 should be checked. If a block erase error
is detected, the status register should be cleared
before system software attempts corrective actions.

- 12 -

LH28F800BG-L/BGH-L (FOR TSOP, CSP)

The CUI remains in read status register mode until
a new command is issued.

This two-step command sequence of set-up
followed by execution ensures that block contents
are not accidentally erased. An invalid Block Erase
command sequence will result in both status
register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to "1". Also,
reliable block erasure can only occur when V

CC1/2/3/4 and VPP = VPPH1/2/3. In the absence of

V

CC =

this high voltage, block contents are protected
against erasure. If block erase is attempted while

PP ≤ VPPLK, SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to "1".

should not be attempted.

4.6 Word Write Command

Word write is executed by a two-cycle command
sequence. Word write setup (standard 40H or
alternate 10H) is written, followed by a second write
that specifies the address and data (latched on the
rising edge of WE#). The WSM then takes over,
controlling the word write and write verify algorithms
internally. After the word write sequence is written,
the device automatically outputs status register data
when read (see Fig. 4). The CPU can detect the
completion of the word write event by analyzing the
RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7.

When word write is complete, status register bit
SR.4 should be checked. If word write error is
detected, the status register should be cleared. The
internal WSM verify only detects errors for "1"s that
do not successfully write to "0"s. The CUI remains
in read status register mode until it receives another
command.

Reliable word writes can only occur when V

CC1/2/3/4 and VPP = VPPH1/2/3. In the absence of

V

CC =

this high voltage, memory contents are protected
against word writes. If word write is attempted while
V

PP ≤ VPPLK, status register bits SR.3 and SR.4 will

be set to "1". Successful word write for boot blocks
requires that the corresponding if set, that WP# =

IH or RP# = VHH. If word write is attempted to

V
boot block when the corresponding WP# = V
RP# = V
write operations with V

IH, SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to "1". Word

IH < RP# < VHH produce

IL or

spurious results and should not be attempted.

4.7 Block Erase Suspend Command

The Block Erase Suspend command allows block
erase interruption to read or word write data in
another block of memory. Once the block erase
process starts, writing the Block Erase Suspend
command requests that the WSM suspend the
block erase sequence at a predetermined point in
the algorithm. The device outputs status register
data when read after the Block Erase Suspend
command is written. Polling status register bits
SR.7 and SR.6 can determine when the block
erase operation has been suspended (both will be
set to "1"). RY/BY# will also transition to V
Specification t

WHRH2 defines the block erase

suspend latency.

At this point, a Read Array command can be
written to read data from blocks other than that
which is suspended. A Word Write command
sequence can also be issued during erase suspend
to program data in other blocks. Using the Word
Write Suspend command (see Section 4.8), a
word write operation can also be suspended.
During a word write operation with block erase
suspended, status register bit SR.7 will return to "0"
and the RY/BY# output will transition to V
However, SR.6 will remain "1" to indicate block
erase suspend status.
