GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
A29DL16x Features  
The A29DL16x family consists of 16 megabit, 3.0 volt-only  
flash memory devices, organized as 1,048,576 words of 16  
bits each or 2,097,152 bytes of 8 bits each. Word mode data  
appears on I/O0–I/O15; byte mode data appears on I/O0–I/O7.  
The device is designed to be programmed in-system with the  
standard 3.0 volt VCC supply, and can also be programmed  
in standard EPROM programmers.  
The device offers complete compatibility with the JEDEC  
single-power-supply Flash command set standard.  
Commands are written to the command register using  
standard microprocessor write timings. Reading data out of  
the device is similar to reading from other Flash or EPROM  
devices.  
The device is available with an access time of 70, 90, or 120  
ns. The devices are offered in 48-pin TSOP and 48-ball Fine-  
The host system can detect whether a program or erase  
operation is complete by using the device status bits:

After a program or erase cycle has been completed, the  
device automatically returns to reading array data.  
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be  
erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data  
contents of other sectors. The device is fully erased when  
shipped from the factory.

and write operations, and avoid bus contention issues.  
The device requires only a single 3.0 volt power supply for  
both read and write functions. Internally generated and  
regulated voltages are provided for the program and erase  
operations.  
Hardware data protection measures include a low VCC  
detector that automatically inhibits write operations during  
power transitions. The hardware sector protection feature  
disables both program and erase operations in any  
combination of the sectors of memory. This can be achieved  
Simultaneous Read/Write Operations with Zero  
Latency  
The Simultaneous Read/Write architecture provides  
simultaneous operation by dividing the memory space into  
two banks. The device can improve overall system  
in-s y s t e m or via programming equipment.  
The device offers two power-saving features. When  
addresses have been stable for a specified amount of time,  
the device enters the automatic sleep mode. The system  
can also place the device into the standby mode. Power  
consumption is greatly reduced in both modes.  
performance by allowing a host system to program or erase  
in one bank, then immediately and simultaneously read from  
the other bank, with zero latency. This releases the system  
from waiting for the completion of program or erase  
operations.  
The A29DL16x devices uses multiple bank architectures to  
provide flexibility for different applications. Three devices are  
available with these bank sizes:

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS  
This section describes the requirements and use of the  
device bus operations, which are initiated through the  
internal command register. The command register itself does  
not occupy any addressable memory location. The register is  
composed of latches that store the commands, along with  
the address and data information needed to execute the  
command. The contents of the register serve as inputs to the  
internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the  
function of the device. The appropriate device bus operations  
table lists the inputs and control levels required, and the  
resulting output. The following subsections describe each of  
these operations in further detail.

Autoselect Functions  
pin determines whether the device outputs array data  
in words or bytes.  
BYTE  
If 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/O7-I/O0. Standard read  
cycle timings apply in this mode. Refer to the Autoselect  
Mode and Autoselect Command Sequence sections for more  
information.  
The internal state machine is set for reading array data upon  
device power-up, or after 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. Each bank  
remains enabled for read access until the command register  
contents are altered.  
Simultaneous Read/Write Operations with Zero  
Latency  
See "Requirements for Reading Array Data" for more  
information. Refer to the AC Read-Only Operations table for  
timing specifications and to Figure 11 for the timing  
waveform, lCC1 in the DC Characteristics table represents the  
active current specification for reading array data.  
This device is capable of reading data from one bank of  
memory while programming or erasing in the other bank of  
memory. An erase operation may also be suspended to read  
from or program to another location within the same bank  
(except the sector being erased). Figure 18 shows how read  
and write cycles may be initiated for simultaneous operation  
with zero latency. ICC6 and ICC7 in the DC Characteristics  
table represent the current specifications for read-while-pro-  
gram and read-while-erase, respectively.

The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facilitate  
faster programming. Once a bank enters the Unlock Bypass  
mode, only two write cycles are required to program a word  
or byte, instead of four. The “Word / Byte Program Command  
Sequence” section has details on programming data to the  
device using both standard and Unlock Bypass command  
sequence.  
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or  
the entire device. The Sector Address Tables 3-4 indicate the  
address range that each sector occupies. The device  
address space is divided into two banks: Bank 1 contains the  
boot/parameter sectors, and Bank 2 contains the larger, code  
sectors of uniform size. A “bank address” is the address bits  
required to uniquely select a bank. Similarly, a “sector  
address” is the address bits required to uniquely select a  
sector.  
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the

are held at VIH, but not within VCC ± 0.3V, the device will be  
in the standby mode, but the standby current will be greater.  
The device requires the standard access time (tCE) for read  
access when the device is in either of these standby modes,  
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 represent the standby  
current specification.  
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active  
current specification for the write mode. The "AC

The hardware sector protection feature disables both  
program and erase operations in any sector. The hardware  
sector unprotection feature re-enables both program and  
erase operations in previously protected sectors. Sector  
protection and unprotection can be implemented via two  
methods.  
Sector/Sector Block Protection and Unprotection  
(Note: For the following discussion, the term “sector” applies  
to both sectors and sector blocks. A sector block consists of  
two or more adjacent sectors that are protected or  
unprotected at the same time (see Tables 6 and 7).  
The primary method requires VID on the  
pin only,  
RESET  
Table 6. Top Boot Sector/Sector Block Addresses for  
Protection/Unprotection  
and can be implemented either in-system or via  
programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algorithms and  
Figure 23 shows the timing diagram. This method uses  
standard microprocessor bus cycle timing. For sector  
unprotect, all unprotected sectors must first be protected  
prior to the first sector unprotect write cycle.  
The sector unprotect algorithm unprotects all sectors in  
parallel. All previously protected sectors must be individually  
re-protected. To change data in protected sectors efficiently,  
the temporary sector unprotect function is available. See  
“Temporary Sector/Sector Block Unprotect”.

The alternate method for protection and unprotection is by  
software sector /sector block protect unprotect command.  
See Figure 2 for Command Flow.  
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.  
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or  
unprotected. See the Autoselect Mode section for details.

Write Protect (

The Write Protect function provides a hardware method of  
protecting certain boot sectors without using VID. This  
function is one of two provided by the  
/ACC pin.  
WP  
WP  
If the system asserts VIL on the  
/ACC pin, the device  
disables program and erase functions in the two “outermost”  
8 Kbyte boot sectors independently of whether those sectors  
were protected or unprotected using the method described in  
“Sector/Sector Block Protection and Unprotection”. The two  
outermost 8 Kbyte boot sectors are the two sectors  
containing the lowest addresses in a bottom-boot-configured  
device, or the two sectors containing the highest addresses  
in a top-boot-configured device.

method described in “Sector/Sector Block Protection and  
Unprotection”.

This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously  
protected sectors to change data in-system. The Sector  
Unprotect mode is activated by setting the  
pin to VID  
RESET  
(8.5V-12.5V). During this mode, formerly protected sectors  
can be programmed or erased by selecting the sector  
addresses. Once VID is removed from the  
pin, all the  
RESET  
previously protected sectors are protected again. Figure 1  
shows the algorithm, and Figure 22 shows the timing  
diagrams, for this feature.

The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles for  
programming or erasing provides data protection against  
inadvertent writes (refer to Table 12 for command definitions).  
In addition, the following hardware data protection measures  
prevent accidental erasure or programming, which might  
otherwise be caused by spurious system level signals during  
VCC power-up and power-down transitions, or from system  
noise.

The internal state machine is automatically reset to reading

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE (CFI)  
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines  
device and host system software interrogation handshake,  
which allows specific vendor-specified software algorithms to  
be used for entire families of devices. Software support can  
then be device-independent, JEDEC ID-independent, and  
forward- and backward-compatible for the specified flash  
device families. Flash vendors can standardize their existing  
interfaces for long-term compatibility.  
Low VCC Write Inhibit  
When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not accept any  
write cycles. This protects data during VCC power-up and  
power-down. The command register and all internal  
program/erase circuits are disabled, and the device resets to  
reading array data. Subsequent writes are ignored until VCC  
is greater than VLKO. The system must provide the proper  
signals to the control pins to prevent unintentional writes  
when VCC is greater than VLKO.  
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the system  
writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to address 55h in word  
mode (or address AAh in byte mode), any time the device is  
ready to read array data. The system can read CFI  
information at the addresses given in Tables 8-11. To  
terminate reading CFI data, the system must write the reset  
command.  
The system can also write the CFI query command when the  
device is in the autoselect mode. The device enters the CFI  
query mode, and the system can read CFI data at the  
addresses given in Tables 8-11. The system must write the  
reset command to return the device to the autoselect mode.

COMMAND DEFINITIONS  
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences  
into the command register initiates device operations. Table  
12 defines the valid register command sequences. Writing  
incorrect address and data values or writing them in the  
improper sequence may place the device in an unknown  
state. A reset command is then required to return the device  
to reading array data.  
Autoselect Command Sequence  
The autoselect command sequence allows the host system  
to access the manufacturer and device codes, and determine  
whether or not a sector is protected. Table 12 shows the  
address and data requirements. This method is an  
alternative to that shown in Table 5, which is intended for  
PROM programmers and requires VID on address pin A9.  
The autoselect command sequence may be written to an  
address wit h in a bank that is either in t he read or erase-  
suspend-read mode. The autoselect command may not be  
written while the device is actively programming or erasing in  
the other bank.  
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of  
or  
,
CE  
WE  
whichever happens later. All data is latched on the rising  
edge of or , whichever happens first. Refer to the  
WE  
CE  
AC Characteristics section for timing diagrams.  
Reading Array Data  
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by first writing  
two unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle that  
contains the bank address and the autoselect command. T he  
bank then enter s the autoselect mode. The system may read  
at any address within the same bank any number of times  
without initiating another autoselect command sequence:  
A read cycle at address (BA)XX00h (where BA is the bank  
address) returns the manufacturer code.  
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 read array data after  
completing an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase  
algorithm.  
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the  
corresponding bank enters the erase-suspend-read mode,  
after which the system can read data from any non-erase-  
suspended sector within the same bank. After completing a  
programming operation in the Erase Suspend mode, the  
system may once again read array data with the same  
exception. See the Erase Suspend/Erase Resume  
Commands section for more information.  
The system must issue the reset command to return a bank  
to the read (or erase-suspend-read) mode if I/O5 goes high  
during an active program or erase operation, or if the bank is  
in the autoselect mode. See the next section, Reset  
Command, for more information.  
See also Requirements for Reading Array Data in the Device  
Bus Operations section for more information. The Read-Only  
Operations table provides the read parameters, and Figure  
11 shows the timing diagram.  
A read cycle at address (BA)XX01h in word mode (or  
(BA)XX02h in byte mode) returns the device code.  
A read cycle to an address containing a sector address  
(SA) within the same bank, and the address 02h on A7-A0  
in word mode (or the address 04h on A6-A-1 in byte mode)  
returns 01h if the sector is protected, or 00h if it is  
unprotected. (Refer to Tables 3-4 for valid sector  
addresses).  
The system must write the reset command to return to  
reading array data (or erase-suspend-read mode if the bank  
was previously in Erase Suspend).  
Byte/Word Program Command Sequence  
The system may program the device by word or byte,  
depending on the state of the  
pin. Programming is a  
BYTE  
Reset Command  
four-bus-cycle operation. The 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 verifies the  
programmed cell margin. Table 12 shows the address and  
data requirements for the byte program command sequence.  
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, that  
bank then returns to reading array data and addresses are  
no longer latched. The system can determine the status of  
Writing the reset command resets the banks to the read or  
erase-suspend-read mode. Address bits are don’t cares for  
this command.  
The reset command may be written between the sequence  
cycles in an erase command sequence before erasing  
begins. This resets the bank to which the system was writing  
to reading array data. Once erasure begins, however, 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 bank to which the  
system was writing to reading array data. If the program  
command sequence is written to a bank that is in the Erase  
Suspend mode, writing the reset command returns that bank  
to the erase-suspend-read 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. If a bank entered the autoselect  
mode while in the Erase Suspend mode, writing the reset  
command returns that bank to the erase-suspend-read mode.  
If I/O5 goes high during a program or erase operation, writing

Any commands written to the device during the Embedded  
Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a hardware reset  
immediately terminates the program operation. The program  
command sequence should be reinitiated once that bank has  
returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.  
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across sector  
boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed from “0” back to a  
“1.” Attempting to do so may cause that bank to set I/O5 = 1,  
or cause the I/O7 and I/O6 status bits 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.”

Unlock Bypass Command Sequence  
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program  
bytes or words to a bank faster than using the standard

A two-cycle unlock bypass program command  
sequence is all that is required to program in this mode. The  
first cycle in this sequence contains the unlock bypass pro-  
gram command, A0h; the second cycle contains the program  
address and data. Additional data is programmed in the  
same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial two  
unlock cycles required in the standard program command  
sequence, resulting in faster total programming time. Table  
12 shows the requirements for the command sequence.  
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock Bypass  
Program and Unlock Bypass Reset commands are valid. To  
exit the unlock bypass mode, the system must issue the two-  
cycle unlock bypass reset command sequence. The device  
then returns to reading array data.

Refer to the Erase and Program Operations tables in the AC

Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands  
The Erase Suspend command, B0h, allows the system to  
interrupt a sector erase operation and then read data from, or  
program data to, any sector not selected for erasure. This  
command is valid only during the sector erase operation,  
including the 50 µs time-out period during the sector erase  
command sequence. The Erase Suspend command is  
ignored if written during the chip erase operation or  
Embedded Program algorithm.  
Sector Erase Command Sequence  
When the Erase Suspend command is written during the  
sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum of 20  
µs to suspend the erase operation. However, when the Erase  
Suspend command is written during the sector erase time-  
out, the device immediately terminates the time-out period  
and suspends the erase operation.  
After the erase operation has been suspended, the bank  
enters the erase-suspend-read mode. The system can read  
data from or program data to any sector not selected for  
erasure. (The device “erase suspends” all sectors selected  
for erasure.) Reading at any address within erase-suspended  
sectors produces status information on I/O7–I/O0. The system  
can use I/O7, or I/O6 and I/O2 together, to determine if a  
sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. Refer to the  
Write Operation Status section for information on these  
status bits.  
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete,  
the bank returns to the erase-suspend-read mode. The  
system can determine the status of the program operation  
using the I/O7 or I/O6 status bits, just as in the standard Byte  
Program operation. Refer to the Write Operation Status  
section for more information.  
In the erase-suspend-read mode, the system can also issue  
the autoselect command sequence. Refer to the Autoselect  
Mode and Autoselect Command Sequence sections for  
details.  
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector erase  
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles,  
followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock cycles  
are written, and are then followed by the address of the  
sector to be erased, and the sector erase command. Table  
12 shows the address and data requirements for the sector  
erase command sequence.  
The device does not require the system to preprogram prior  
to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically  
programs and verifies the entire memory for an all zero data  
pattern prior to electrical erase. The system is not required to  
provide any controls or timings during these operations.  
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase time-  
out of 50 µs occurs. During the time-out period, additional  
sector addresses and sector erase commands within the  
bank may be written. Loading the sector erase buffer may be  
done in any sequence, and the number of sectors may be  
from one sector to all sectors. The time between these  
additional cycles must be less than 50µs, otherwise erasure  
may begin. Any sector erase address and command  
following the exceeded time-out may or may not be accepted.  
It is recommended that processor interrupts be disabled  
during this time to ensure all commands are accepted. The  
interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase  
command is written. Any command other than Sector Erase  
or Erase Suspend during the time-out period resets that bank  
to reading array data. The system must rewrite the command  
sequence and any additional addresses and commands.  
The system can monitor I/O3 to determine if the sector erase  
timer has timed out (See the section on I/O3: Sector Erase  
Timer.). The time-out begins from the rising edge of the final

WRITE OPERATION STATUS  
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a  
program or erase operation: I/O2, I/O3, I/O5, I/O6, and I/O7.  
Table 13 and the following subsections describe the function  
of these bits. I/O7 and I/O6 each offer a method for  
determining whether a program or erase operation is  
complete or in progress. The device also provides a

During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs

The system can use I/O6 and I/O2 together to determine

When the device is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded

enters the Erase Suspend mode, I/O6 stops toggling.

If a program address falls within a protected sector, I/O6  
toggles for approximately 1µs 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.  
Table 13 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on I/O6. Figure 6  
shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 20 in the “AC

Figure 23 shows the differences between I/O2 and I/O6 in  
graphical form. See also the subsection on I/O2: Toggle Bit II.  
Note:  
The system should recheck the toggle bit even if I/O5=1"  
because the toggle bit may stop toggling as I/O5 changes to  
1”. See the subsections on I/O6 and I/O2 for more information.

returns to determine the status of the operation (top of Figure  
6).  
I/O2: Toggle Bit II  
The "Toggle Bit II" on I/O2, when used with I/O6, 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  
I/O5: Exceeded Timing Limits  
I/O5 indicates whether the program or erase time has  
exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit. Under these  
conditions I/O5 produces a "1." This is a failure condition that  
indicates the program or erase cycle was not successfully  
completed.  
The device may output a “1” on I/O5 if the system tries to  
program a “1” to a location that was 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 timing limit has been exceeded, I/O5 produces a  
“1.” .  
rising edge of the final  
I/O2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within those  
sectors that have been selected for erasure. (The system may  
pulse in the command sequence.  
WE  
use either  
or  
to control the read cycles.) But I/O2  
CE  
OE  
cannot distinguish whether the sector is actively erasing or is  
erase-suspended. I/O6, 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 8 to compare outputs for I/O2 and I/O6.  
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and  
the section " I/O2: Toggle Bit II" explains the algorithm. See  
also the " I/O6: Toggle Bit I" subsection. Figure 20 shows the  
toggle bit timing diagram. Figure 21 shows the differences  
between I/O2 and I/O6 in graphical form.  
Under both these conditions, the system must write the reset  
command to return to reading array data (or to the erase-  
suspend-read mode if a bank was previously in the erase-  
suspend-program mode).  
I/O3: Sector Erase Timer  
Reading Toggle Bits I/O6, I/O2  
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the system  
may read I/O3 to determine whether or not an erase  
operation has begun. (The sector erase timer does not apply  
to the chip erase command.) If additional sectors are  
selected for erasure, the entire time-out also applies after  
each additional sector erase command. When the time-out is  
complete, I/O3 switches from "0" to "1." The system may  
ignore I/O3 if the system can guarantee that the time  
between additional sector erase commands will always be  
less than 50µs. See also the "Sector Erase Command  
Sequence" section.  
Refer to Figure 6 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 and 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/O7-I/O0 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/O5 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/O5 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/O5 has not gone high. The  
system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and I/O5  
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  
After the sector erase command sequence is written, the  
system should read the status on I/O7 (  
Polling) or I/O6  
Data  
(Toggle Bit 1) to ensure the device has accepted the  
command sequence, and then read I/O3. If I/O3 is "1", the  
internally controlled erase cycle has begun; all further  
commands (Except Erase Suspend) are ignored until the  
erase operation is complete. If I/O3 is "0", the device will  
accept additional sector erase commands. To ensure the  
command has been accepted, the system software should  
check the status of I/O3 prior to and following each  
subsequent sector erase command. If I/O3 is high on the  
second status check, the last command might not have been  
accepted.  
Table 13 shows the status of I/O3 relative to the other status  
bits.

Notes:  
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25°C, 3.0V VCC, 10,000 cycles. Additionally, programming  
typically assumes checkerboard pattern.  
2. Under worst case conditions of 90°C, VCC = 2.7V, 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.  
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure.  
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the four-bus-cycle command sequence for programming. See Table 12  
for further information on command definitions.  
6. The device has a minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 10,000 cycles.
