The W49L201 is a 2-megabit, 3.3-volt only CMOS flash memory organized as 128K × 16 bits. The
device can be programmed and erased in-system with a standard 3.3V power supply. A 12-volt VPP is
not required. The unique cell architecture of the W49L201 results in fast program/erase operations
with extremely low current consumption (compared to other comparable 3.3-volt flash memory
products). The device can also be programmed and erased using standard EPROM programmers.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Read Mode
The read operation of the W49L201 is controlled by CE and OE, both of which have to be low for the
host to obtain data from the outputs. CE is used for device selection. When CE is high, the chip is
de-selected and only standby power will be consumed. OE is the output control and is used to gate
data to the output pins. The data bus is in high impedance state when either CE or OE is high. Refer
to the timing waveforms for further details.
Reset Operation
The RESET input pin can be used in some application. When RESET pin is at high state, the device
is in normal operation mode. When RESET pin is driven low for at least a period of TRP, it will halts
the device and all outputs are at high impedance state. The device also resets the internal state
machine to read array data. The operation that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device
is ready to accept another command sequence to assure data integrity. As the high state re-asserted
to the
The system can read data TRH after the RESET pin returns to VIH. The other function for RESET pin
is temporary reset the boot block. By applying the 12V to RESET pin, the boot block can be
reprogrammed even though the boot block lockout function is enabled.
RESET
pin, the device will return to read or standby mode, it depends on the control signals.
Boot Block Operation
There is one 8K-word boot block in this device, which can be used to store boot code. It is located in
the first 8K words of the memory with the address range from 0000(hex) to 1FFF(hex).
See Command Codes for Boot Block Lockout Enable for the specific code. Once this feature is set
the data for the designated block cannot be erased or programmed (programming lockout); other
memory locations can be changed by the regular programming method.
There is one condition that the lockout feature can be overrides. Just apply 12V to RESET pin, the
lockout feature will temporary be inactivated and the boot block can be erased/programmed. Once
the RESET pin returns to TTL level, the lockout feature will be activated again.
In order to detect whether the boot block feature is set on the 8K-words block, users can perform
software command sequence: enter the product identification mode (see Command Codes for
Identification/Boot Block Lockout Detection for specific code), and then read from address "0002
hex". If the output data in DQ0 is "1", the boot block programming lockout feature is activated; if the
output data in DQ0 is "0", the lockout feature is inactivated and the block can be erased/programmed.
To return to normal operation, perform a three-byte command sequence (or an alternate single-word
command) to exit the identification mode. For the specific code, see Command Codes for
Identification/Boot Block Lockout Detection.
Chip Erase Operation
The chip-erase mode can be initiated by a six-word command sequence. After the command loading
cycle, the device enters the internal chip erase mode, which is automatically timed and will be
completed in a fast 100 mS (typical). The host system is not required to provide any control or timing

during this operation. The entire memory array will be erased to FF(hex) by the chip erase operation if
the boot block programming lockout feature is not activated. Once the boot block lockout feature is
activated, the chip erase function will erase all the sectors except the boot mode.
Sector Erase Operation
The three sectors, main memory and two parameters blocks, can be erased individually by initiating a
six-word command sequence. Sector address is latched on the falling WE edge of the sixth cycle
while the 30(hex) data input command is latched at the rising edge of WE. After the command
loading cycle, the device enters the internal sector erase mode, which is automatically timed and will
be completed in a fast 100 mS (typical). The host system is not required to provide any control or
timing during this operation. The device will automatically return to normal read mode after the erase
operation completed. Data polling and/or Toggle Bits can be used to detect end of erase cycle.
When the boot block lockout feature is inactivated, the boot block and the main memory block will be
erased together. Once the boot block is locked, only the main memory block will be erased by the
execution of sector erase operation.
Program Operation
The W49L201 is programmed on a word-by-word basis. Program operation can only change logical
data "1" to logical data "0" The erase operation (changed entire data in main memory and/or boot
block from "0" to "1" is needed before programming.
The program operation is initiated by a 4-word command cycle (see Command Codes for Word
Programming). The device will internally enter the program operation immediately after the wordprogram command is entered. The internal program timer will automatically time-out (50 µS max. TBC) once completed and return to normal read mode. Data polling and/or Toggle Bits can be used to
detect end of program cycle.
Hardware Data Protection
The integrity of the data stored in the W49L201 is also hardware protected in the following ways:
(1) Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE pulse of less than 15 nS in duration will not initiate a write cycle.
DD
(2) V
1.8V typical.
(3) Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE low, CE high, or WE high will inhibit the write operation. This
prevents inadvertent writes during power-up or power-down periods.
(4) VDD power-on delay: When VDD has reached its sense level, the device will automatically time-out
10 mS before any write (erase/program) operation.
Power Up/Down Detection: The programming operation is inhibited when VDD is less than
Data Polling (DQ7)- Write Status Detection
The W49L201 includes a data polling feature to indicate the end of a program or erase cycle. When
the W49L201 is in the internal program or erase cycle, any attempt to read DQ7 of the last word
loaded will receive the complement of the true data. Once the program or erase cycle is completed,
DQ7 will show the true data. Note that DQ7 will show logical "0" during the erase cycle, and become
logical "1" or true data when the erase cycle has been completed.

CE OE WE
Toggle Bit (DQ6)- Write Status Detection
In addition to data polling, the W49L201 provides another method for determining the end of a
program cycle. During the internal program or erase cycle, any consecutive attempts to read DQ6 will
produce alternating 0's and 1's. When the program or erase cycle is completed, this toggling between
0's and 1's will stop. The device is then ready for the next operation.
Product Identification
The product ID operation outputs the manufacturer code and device code. Programming equipment
automatically matches the device with its proper erase and programming algorithms.
The manufacturer and device codes can be accessed by software or hardware operation. In the
software access mode, a six-word (or JEDEC 3-word) command sequence can be used to access the
product ID. A read from address 0000H outputs the manufacturer code, 00DA(hex). A read from
address 0001(hex) outputs the device code, 003E(hex). The product ID operation can be terminated
by a three-word command sequence or an alternative one-word command sequence (see Command
Definition table).
In the hardware access mode, access to the product ID is activated by forcing CE and OE low, WE
high, and raising A9 to 12 volts.
