The A29001 offers the RESET function, but it is not available on A290011. The 128 Kbytes of data are furthe r divided into seven sectors for flexible sector erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on I/O 0 - I/O7 while the addresses are input on A0 to A16. The A29001 is offered in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP, and PDIP packages. This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for in -system write or erase operations. However, the A29001 can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers. The A29001 has the first toggle bit, I/O 6, which indicates whether an Embedded Program or Erase is in progress, or it is in the Erase Suspend. Besides the I/O 6 toggle bit, the A29001 has a second toggle bit, I/O 2, to indicate whether the addressed sector is being selected for erase. The A29001 also offers the ability to program in the Erase Suspend mode. The standard A29001 offers access times of 55, 70 and 90 ns allowing high -speed microprocessors to operate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip enable ( CE ), write enable ( WE ) and output enable ( OE ) controls. The device requires only a single 5.0 volt power supply for both read and write functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages are provided for the program and erase operations. The A29001 is entirely software command set compatible with the JEDEC single -power-supply Flash standard. Commands are written to the command register using standard microprocessor write timings. Register cont ents serve as input to an internal state -machine that controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed for the programming and erase operations. Reading data out of the device is similar to reading from other Flash or EPROM devices. Device programming occurs by writing the proper program command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Program algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies proper program margin. Device erasure occurs by executing the proper erase command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically preprograms the array (if it is not already programmed) before executing the erase opera tion. During erase, the device automatically times the erase pulse widths and verifies proper erase margin.

PRELIMINARY (August, 2001, Version 0.3) 2 AMIC Technology, Inc. The host system can detect whether a program or erase operation is complete by reading the I/O 7 ( Data Polling) and I/O6 (toggl e) status bits. After a program or erase cycle has been completed, the device is ready to read array data or accept another command. The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data contents of o ther sectors. The A29001 is fully erased when shipped from the factory. The hardware sector protection feature disables operations for both program and erase in any combination of the sectors Pin Configurations of memory. This can be achieved via progr amming equipment. The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put erase on hold for any period of time to read data from, or program data to, any other sector that is not selected for erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved. Power consumption is greatly reduced when the device is placed in the standby mode. The hardware RESET pin terminates any operation in progress and resets the internal state machine to reading array data (This feature is not available on the A290021). n DIP n PLCC RESET A16 A15 A12 I/O0 I/O1 I/O2 I/O3VSS I/O4 I/O5 I/O6 I/O7 CE A10 OE A13 WE NC A14 VCC A11 A29001/A290011 16 17 I/O0 21 CE I/O7 A10 A29001L/ A290011L OE A11 A13 A14 I/O1 I/O2 VSS I/O3 I/O4 I/O5 I/O6 A12 A15 A16 RESET VCC WE NC NC on A290011 NC on A290011 n TSOP (Forward type) A29001V/A290011V A13 A14 NC WE VCC A16 A15 A12 17 A3 I/O I/O1 I/O2 VSS I/O3 I/O4 I/O5 I/O6 I/O7 CE A10 OEA11 RESET NC on A290011

PRELIMINARY (August, 2001, Version 0.3) 5 AMIC Technology, Inc. Requirements for Reading Array Data To read array data from the outputs, the system must drive the CE and OE pins to V IL. CE is the power control and selects the devic e. OE is the output control and gates array data to the output pins. WE should remain at V IH all the time during read operation. The internal state machine is set for reading array data upon device power -up, or aft er a hardware reset. This ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory content occurs during the power transition. No command is necessary in this mode to obtain array data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert valid addresses on the device address inputs produce valid data on the device data outputs. The device remains enabled for read access until the command register contents are altered. See "Reading Array Data" for more information. Refer to the AC Read Operations table for timing spec ifications and to the Read Operations Timings diagram for the timing waveforms, lCC1 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for reading array data. Writing Commands/Command Sequences To write a command or command sequ ence (which includes programming data to the device and erasing sectors of memory), the system must drive WE and CE to VIL, and OE to V IH. An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sect ors, or the entire device. The Sector Address Tables indicate the address range that each sector occupies. A "sector address" consists of the address inputs required to uniquely select a sector. See the "Command Definitions" section for details on erasing a sector or the entire chip, or suspending/resuming the erase operation. After the system writes the autoselect command sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The system can then read autoselect codes from the internal register (which is separate from the memory array) on I/O 7 - I/O0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this mode. Refer to the "Autoselect Mode" and "Autoselect Command Sequence" sections for more information. ICC2 in the Characteristics table represents the active current specifi cation for the write mode. The "AC Characteristics" section contains timing specification tables and timing diagrams for write operations. Program and Erase Operation Status During an erase or program operation, the system may check the status of the ope ration by reading the status bits on I/O 7 - I/O 0. Standard read cycle timings and I CC read specifications apply. Refer to "Write Operation Status" for Standby Mode When the system is not reading or writing to the device, it can place the device in the sta ndby mode. In this mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and the outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE input. The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the CE & RESET pins ( CE only on A290011) are both held at V CC ± 0.5V. (Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than V IH.) The device enters the TTL standby mode when CE is held at V IH, while RESET (Not available on A290011) is held at VCC ±0.5V. The device requires the standard access time (tCE) before it is ready to read data. If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws active current until the operation is completed. ICC3 in the DC Characteristics tables represents the standby current specification. Output Disable Mode When the OE input is at V IH, output from the device is disabled. The output pins are placed in the high impedance state. RESET : Hardware Reset Pin (N/A on A290011) The RESET pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When the system drives the RESET pin low for at least a period of t RP, the device immediately terminates any operation in progress, tristates all data output pins, and ignores all read/write attempts for the duration of the RESET pulse. The device also resets the internal state machine to reading array data. The operation that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is ready to accept another command sequence, to ensure data integrity. The RESET pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash memory, enabling the system to read the boot -up firmware from the Flash memory. Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET parameters and diagram. more information, and to each AC Characteristics section for timing diagrams.

PRELIMINARY (August, 2001, Version 0.3) 8 AMIC Technology, Inc. Command Definitions Writing specific address and data comma nds or sequences into the command register initiates device operations. The Command Definitions table defines the valid register command sequences. Writing incorrect address and data values or writing them in the improper sequence resets the device to reading array data. All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE or CE , whichever happens later. All data is latched on the rising edge of WE or CE , whichever happens f irst. Refer to the appropriate timing diagrams in the "AC Characteristics" section. Reading Array Data The device is automatically set to reading array data after device power -up. No commands are required to retrieve data. The device is also ready to rea d array data after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase algorithm. After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The system can read array data using the standard read timings, except that if it re ads at an address within erase -suspended sectors, the device outputs status data. After completing a programming operation in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once again read array data with the same exception. See "Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Command s" for more information on this mode. The system must issue the reset command to re -enable the device for reading array data if I/O 5 goes high, or while in the autoselect mode. See the "Reset Command" section, next. See also "Requirements for Reading Arr ay Data" in the "Device Bus Operations" section for more information. The Read Operations table provides the read parameters, and Read Operation Timings diagram shows the timing diagram. Reset Command Writing the reset command to the device resets the de vice to reading array data. Address bits are don't care for this command. The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase command sequence before erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array data. Once erasure begins, ho wever, the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete. The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in a program command sequence before programming begins. This resets the device to reading array data (also applies to p rogramming in Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete. The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an autoselect command sequence. Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must be written to return to reading array data (also applies to autoselect during Erase Suspend). If I/O5 goes high during a program or erase operation, writing the reset command returns the device to reading array data (also applies during Erase Suspend). Autoselect Command Sequence The autoselect command sequence allows the host system to access the manufacturer and devices codes, and determine whether or not a sector is protected. The Command Definitions table shows the addr ess and data requirements. This method is an alternative to that shown in the Autoselect Codes (High Voltage Method) table, which is intended for PROM programmers and requires V ID on address bit A9. The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writing t wo unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect command. The device then enters the autoselect mode, and the system may read at any address any number of times, without initiating another command sequence. A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufact urer code and another read cycle at XX11h retrieves the continuation code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns the device code. A read cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the address 02h in returns 01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to the Sector Address tables for valid sector addresses. The system must write the reset command to exit the autoselect mode and return to reading array data. Byte Program Command Sequence Programming is a four -bus-cycle operation. Th e program command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock write cycles, followed by the program set -up command. The program address and data are written next, which in turn initiate the Embedded Program algorithm. The system is not required to provide further controls or timings. The device automatically provides internally generated program pulses and verify the programmed cell margin. The Command Definitions table shows the address and data requirements for the byte program command sequence. When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device then returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the program operation by using I/O 7 or I/O 6. See "Write Operation Status" for information on these status bits. Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Programming is allowed in any sequence and across sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed from a "0" back to a "1 ". Attempting to do so may halt the operation and set I/O 5 to "1", or cause the Data Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was successful. However, a succeeding read will show that the data is still "0". Only erase operations can convert a "0" to a "1".

PRELIMINARY (August, 2001, Version 0.3) 13 AMIC Technology, Inc. I/O6: Toggle Bit I Toggle Bit I on I/O 6 indicates whether an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete, or whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend mode. Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid after the rising edge of the final WE pulse in the command sequence (prior to the program or erase operation), an d during the sector erase time-out. During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm operation, successive read cycles to any address cause I/O6 to toggle. (The system may use either OE or CE to control the read cycl es.) When the operation is complete, I/O6 stops toggling. After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, I/O 6 toggles for approximately 100µs, then returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are protected. The system can use I/O 6 and I/O 2 together to determine whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase -suspended. When the device is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), I/O 6 toggles. When the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, I/O 6 stops toggling. However, the system must also use I/O 2 to determine which sectors are erasing or erase -suspended. Alternatively, the system can use I/O 7 (see the subsection on " I/O7 : Data Polling"). If a program address falls within a protected sector, I/O 6 toggles for approximately 2 µs after the program command sequence is written, then returns to reading array data. I/O6 also toggles during the erase -suspend-program mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Program algorithm is complete. The Write Operation Status table shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on I/O 6. Refer to Figure 5 for th e toggle bit algorithm, and to the Toggle Bit Timings figure in the "AC Characteristics" section for the timing diagram. The I/O 2 vs. I/O6 figure shows the differences between I/O 2 and I/O 6 in graphical form. See also the subsection on " I/O 2: Toggle Bit II". I/O2: Toggle Bit II The "Toggle Bit II" on I/O 2, when used with I/O 6, indicates whether a particular sector is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), or whether that sector is erase -suspended. Toggle Bit II is valid after the rising edge of the final WE pulse in the command sequence. I/O2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within those sectors that have been selected for erasure. (The system may use either OE or CE to control the read cycles.) But I/O 2 cannot distinguish whether the sector is actively erasing or is erase -suspended. I/O 6, by comparison, indicates whether the device is actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish which sectors are selected for erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and mode information. Refer to Table 6 to compare outputs for I/O2 and I/O6. Figure 5 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and the section " I/O 2: Toggle Bit II" explains the algorithm. See also the " I/O 6: Toggle Bit I" subsection. Refer to the Toggle Bit Timings figure for the toggle bit timing diagram. The I/O2 vs. I/O6 figure shows the differences between I/O 2 and I/O6 in graphical form. Reading Toggle Bits I/O6, I/O2 Refer to Figure 5 for the following discussion. Whenever the system initially begins reading toggle bit status, it must read I/O7 - I/O0 at least twice in a row to determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, a system would note an d store the value of the toggle bit after the first read. After the second read, the system would compare the new value of the toggle bit with the first. If the toggle bit is not toggling, the device has completed the program or erase operation. The system can read array data on I/O 7 - I/O 0 on the following read cycle. However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the system also should note whether the value of I/O 5 is high (see the section on I/O5). If it is, the system should then determine again whether the toggle bit is toggling, since the toggle bit may have stopped toggling just as I/O 5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer toggling, the device has successfully completed the program or erase operation. If it is still toggling, the device did not complete the operation successfully, and the system must write the reset command to return to reading array data. The remaining scenario is that the system initially determines that the toggle bit is toggling and I/O 5 has not gone high. The system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and I/O 5 through successive read cycles, determining the status as described in the previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to perform other system tasks . In this case, the system must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it returns to determine the status of the operation (top of Figure 5). I/O5: Exceeded Timing Limits I/O5 indicates whether the program or erase time has exceeded a specified int ernal pulse count limit. Under these conditions I/O 5 produces a "1." This is a failure condition that indicates the program or erase cycle was not successfully completed. The I/O5 failure condition may appear if the system tries to program a "1 "to a locat ion that is previously programmed to "0." Only an erase operation can change a "0" back to a "1." Under this condition, the device halts the operation, and when the operation has exceeded the timing limits, I/O5 produces a "1." Under both these conditions , the system must issue the reset command to return the device to reading array data.

PRELIMINARY (August, 2001, Version 0.3) 25 AMIC Technology, Inc. Timing Waveforms for Alternate CE Controlled Write Operation Erase and Programming Performance Parameter Typ. (Note 1) Max. (Note 2) Unit Comments Sector Erase Time 1 8 sec Chip Erase Time 8 64 sec Excludes 00h programming prior to erasure (Note 4) Byte Programming Time 35 300 µs Chip Programming Time (Note 3) 3.6 10.8 sec Excludes system-level overhead (Note 5) Notes: 1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25 °C, 5.0V VCC, 100,000 cycles. Additionally, programming typically assumes checkerboard pattern. 2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 4.5V (4.75V for -55), 100,000 cycles. 3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes program faster than the maximum byte program time listed. If the maximum byte program time given is exceeded, only then does the device set I/O5 = 1. See the section on I/O5 for further information. 4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure. 5. Sy stem-level overhead is the time required to execute the four -bus-cycle command sequence for programming. See Table 4 for further information on command definitions. 6. The device has a guaranteed minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 100,000 cycles. Addresses WE OE CE Data 555 for program 2AA for erase PA DOUT ~~~~ I/O7 Data Polling Note : 1.
