M29W320ET, M29W320EB

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

The M29W320E 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 defaults to its Read mode.

The device features an asymmetrical block architecture. The M29W320E has an array of 8 parameter and 63 main blocks. M29W320ET locates the Parameter Blocks at the top of the memory address space while the M29W320EB locates the Parameter Blocks starting from the bottom.

M29W320E has 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. However the protection is irreversible, once protected the protection cannot be undone.

Each block can be erased independently so it is possible to preserve valid data while old data is

erased. The blocks can be protected 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 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 connection to most microprocessors, often without additional logic.

The memory is offered in TSOP48 (12x20mm), and TFBGA48 (6x8mm, 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-A20). 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 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 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 is High, VIH, this pin behaves as a Data Input/Output pin (as DQ8-DQ14). When BYTE is Low, VIL, this pin behaves as an address 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.

Chip Enable (E). The Chip Enable, E, activates the memory, allowing Bus Read and Bus Write operations to be performed. When Chip Enable is High, VIH, all other pins are ignored.

Output Enable (G). The Output Enable, G, controls the Bus Read operation of the memory.

Write Enable (W). The Write Enable, W, controls the Bus Write operation of the memory’s Command Interface.

VPP/Write Protect (VPP/WP). The VPP/Write Protect pin provides two functions. The VPP function allows the memory to use an external high voltage power supply to reduce the time required for Program operations. This is achieved by bypassing the unlock cycles and/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. When VPP/Write Protect is Low, VIL, the memory protects the two outermost boot blocks; Program and Erase operations in these blocks are

10/46

ignored while VPP/Write Protect is Low, even when RP is at VID.

When VPP/Write Protect is High, VIH, the memory reverts to the previous protection status of the two outermost boot blocks. Program and Erase operations can now modify the data in these blocks unless the blocks are protected using Block Protection.

When VPP/Write Protect is raised to VPP the memory automatically enters the Unlock Bypass mode. When VPP/Write Protect returns to VIH or VIL normal operation resumes. During Unlock Bypass Program operations the memory draws IPP from the pin to supply the programming circuits. See the description of the Unlock Bypass command in the Command Interface section. The transitions from

VIH to VPP and from VPP to VIH must be slower than tVHVPP, see Figure 17.

Never raise VPP/Write Protect to VPP from any mode except Read mode, otherwise the memory may be left in an indeterminate state.

The VPP/Write Protect pin must not be left floating or unconnected or the device may become unreliable. A 0.1µF capacitor should be connected between the VPP/Write Protect pin and the VSS Ground pin to decouple the current surges from the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry the currents required during Unlock Bypass Program, IPP.

Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect (RP). The Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect pin can be used to apply a Hardware Reset to the memory or to temporarily unprotect all Blocks that have been protected.

Note that if VPP/WP is at VIL, then the two outermost boot blocks will remain protected even if RP is at VID.

A Hardware Reset is achieved by holding Reset/ Block Temporary Unprotect Low, VIL, for at least tPLPX. After Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect goes High, VIH, the memory will be ready for Bus Read and Bus Write operations after tPHEL or tRHEL, whichever occurs last. See the Ready/Busy Output section, Table 16. and Figure 16., Reset/ Block Temporary Unprotect AC Waveforms, for more details.

Holding RP at VID will temporarily unprotect the protected Blocks in the memory. Program and Erase operations on all blocks will be possible. The transition from VIH to VID must be slower than

tPHPHH.

Ready/Busy Output (RB). The Ready/Busy pin is an open-drain output that can be used to identify when the device is performing a Program or Erase operation. During Program or Erase operations

M29W320ET, M29W320EB

Ready/Busy is Low, VOL. Ready/Busy is high-im- pedance during Read mode, Auto Select mode and Erase Suspend mode.

After a Hardware Reset, Bus Read and Bus Write operations cannot begin until Ready/Busy becomes high-impedance. See Table 16. and Figure 16., Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect AC Waveforms.

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.

Byte/Word Organization Select (BYTE). The Byte/Word Organization Select pin is used to switch between the x8 and x16 Bus modes of the memory. When Byte/Word Organization Select is Low, VIL, the memory is in x8 mode, when it is High, VIH, the memory is in x16 mode.

VCC Supply Voltage (2.7V to 3.6V). VCC provides the power supply for all operations (Read, Program and Erase).

The Command Interface is disabled when the VCC Supply Voltage is less than the Lockout Voltage, VLKO. This prevents Bus Write operations from accidentally damaging the data during power up, power down and power surges. If the Program/ Erase Controller is programming or erasing during this time then the operation aborts and the memory contents being altered will be invalid.

A 0.1µF capacitor should be connected between the VCC Supply Voltage pin and the VSS Ground pin to decouple the current surges from the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry the currents required during Program and Erase operations, ICC3.

VSS Ground. VSS is the reference for all voltage measurements. The device features two VSS pins which must be both connected to the system ground.

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 Table 2. and Table 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, VIL, to Chip Enable and Output Enable and keeping Write Enable High, VIH. The Data Inputs/Outputs will output the 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, VIH, during the whole Bus Write operation. See Figure 12. and Figure 13., Write AC Waveforms, and Table 13. and Table 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, VIH.

Standby. When Chip Enable is High, VIH, the 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, ICC2, Chip Enable should

be held within VCC ± 0.2V. For the Standby current level see Table 11., DC Characteristics.

During program or erase operations the memory will continue to use the Program/Erase Supply Current, ICC3, for Program or Erase operations until the operation completes.

Automatic Standby. If CMOS levels (VCC ± 0.2V) 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, ICC2. The 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 VID to be 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 Table 2. and Table 3., Bus Operations.

Block Protect and Chip Unprotect. Groups of blocks can be protected against accidental Program or Erase. The Protection Groups are shown in APPENDIX A., Table 20. and Table 21., Block Addresses. The whole chip can be unprotected to allow the data inside the blocks to be changed.

The VPP/Write Protect pin can be used to protect the two outermost boot blocks. When VPP/Write Protect is at VIL the two outermost boot blocks are protected and remain protected regardless of the Block Protection Status or the Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect pin status.

Block Protect and Chip Unprotect operations are described in APPENDIX D.

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 8- bit mode. See either Table 4., or Table 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. 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 time-out 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. Three consecutive Bus Write operations are required to issue the Auto Select command. The memory remains in Auto Select mode until a Read/Reset or CFI Query command is issued.

In Auto Select mode the Manufacturer Code can be read using a Bus Read operation with A0 = VIL and A1 = VIL. The other address bits may be set to either VIL or VIH.

The Device Code can be read using a Bus Read operation with A0 = VIH and A1 = VIL. The other address bits may be set to either VIL or VIH.

The Block Protection Status of each block can be read using a Bus Read operation with A0 = VIL, A1 = VIH and A12-A20 specifying the block address. The other address bits may be set to either VIL or VIH. If the addressed block is protected then

01h is 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 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 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 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 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. After programming has started, Bus Read operations output the Status Register content. See the section on the STATUS REGISTER for more details. Typical program times are given in Table 6.

After the program operation has completed the memory will return to the Read mode, unless an error has occurred. When an error occurs Bus Read operations will continue 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’.
