General Description  
The A29L800A is an 8Mbit, 3.0 volt-only Flash memory  
organized as 1,048,576 bytes of 8 bits or 524,288 words of 16  
bits each. The 8 bits of data appear on I/O0 - I/O7; the 16 bits of  
data appear on I/O0~I/O15. The A29L800A is offered in 48-ball  
TFBGA, 44-pin SOP and 48-Pin TSOP packages. This device  
is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard  
system 3.0 volt VCC supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not  
required for in-system write or erase operations. However, the  
A29L800A can also be programmed in standard EPROM  
programmers.  
The A29L800A has the first toggle bit, I/O6, which indicates  
whether an Embedded Program or Erase is in progress, or it is  
in the Erase Suspend. Besides the I/O6 toggle bit, the  
A29L800A has a second toggle bit, I/O2, to indicate whether  
the addressed sector is being selected for erase. The  
A29L800A also offers the ability to program in the Erase  
Suspend mode. The standard A29L800A offers access times  
of 70 and 90ns, allowing high-speed microprocessors to  
operate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the  
The A29L800A 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 contents 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 operation. During erase, the device  
automatically times the erase pulse widths and verifies proper  
erase margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facilitates faster  
programming times by requiring only two write cycles to  
program data instead of four.

and output enable (

OE  
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.  
The host system can detect whether a program or erase  
operation is complete by observing the RY /  
pin, or by  
BY  
reading the I/O7 (  
Polling) and I/O6 (toggle) 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 other sectors. The A29L800A is fully erased when shipped  
from the factory.  
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume 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.  
The hardware  
pin terminates any operation in  
RESET  
progress and resets the internal state machine to reading  
array data. The pin may be tied to the system reset  
circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the device,  
enabling the system microprocessor to read the boot-up  
firmware from the Flash memory.  
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 these modes.

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 Mode  
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device  
identification, through identifier codes output on I/O7 - I/O0.  
This mode is primarily intended for programming equipment to  
automatically match a device to be programmed with its  
corresponding programming algorithm. However, the  
autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system through the  
command register.  
When using programming equipment, the autoselect mode  
requires VID (11.5V to 12.5 V) on address pin A9. Address pins  
A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in Autoselect Codes (High  
Voltage Method) table. In addition, when verifying sector  
protection, the sector address must appear on the appropriate  
highest order address bits. Refer to the corresponding Sector  
Address Tables. The Command Definitions table shows the  
remaining address bits that are don't care. When all necessary  
bits have been set as required, the programming equipment  
may then read the corresponding identifier code on I/O7 -  
I/O0.To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host  
system can issue the autoselect command via the command  
register, as shown in the Command Definitions table. This  
method does not require VID. See "Command Definitions" for  
details on using the autoselect mode.

Command Definitions  
Autoselect Command Sequence  
Writing specific address and data commands 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.  
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 address 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 VID on address bit A9.  
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writing two  
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 manufacturer code  
and another read cycle at XX03h 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.  
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  
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 read 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 reads 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 Commands" for more information on this mode.  
The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the  
device for reading array data if I/O5 goes high, or while in the  
autoselect mode. See the "Reset Command" section, next.  
See also "Requirements for Reading Array 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.  
The system must write the reset command to exit the autoselect  
mode and return to reading array data.  
Word/Byte Program Command Sequence  
The system may program the device by word or byte,  
depending on the state of the  
pin. Programming is a four-  
BYTE  
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 verify the programmed cell  
margin. Table 5 shows the address and data requirements for  
the byte program command sequence.  
Reset Command  
Writing the reset command to the device resets the device 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, 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 device to reading array data (also  
applies to programming in Erase Suspend mode). Once  
programming begins, however, the device ignores reset  
commands until the operation is complete.  
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device  
then returns to reading array data and addresses are longer  
latched. The system can determine the status of the program  
operation by using I/O7, I/O6, or RY/  
. See “White Operation  
BY  
Status” for information on these status bits.  
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded  
Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a hardware reset  
immediately terminates the programming operation. The Byte  
Program command sequence should be reinitiated once the  
device has reset to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.  
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/O5 to  
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).  
“1”, or cause the  
Polling algorithm to indicate the  
Data  
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”.  
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).

Chip Erase Command Sequence  
Chip erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The chip erase  
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles,  
followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock write  
cycles are then followed by the chip erase command, which in  
turn invokes the Embedded Erase algorithm. The device does  
not require the system to preprogram prior to erase. The  
Embedded Erase algorithm automatically preprograms 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. The Command  
Definitions table shows the address and data requirements for  
the chip erase command sequence.  
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded Erase  
algorithm are ignored. The system can determine the status of  
the erase operation by using I/O7, I/O6, or I/O2. See "Write  
Operation Status" for information on these status bits. When the  
Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns to  
reading array data and addresses are no longer latched.

Sector Erase Command Sequence  
Programming  
Completed  
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 write  
cycles are then followed by the address of the sector to be  
erased, and the sector erase command. The Command  
Definitions table shows the address and data requirements for  
the sector erase command sequence.  
Note : See the appropriate Command Definitions table for  
program command sequence.  
The device does not require the system to preprogram the  
memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm  
automatically programs and verifies the sector 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 50µs begins. During the time-out period, additional sector  
addresses and sector erase commands 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 the last address and command might not  
be accepted, and erasure may begin. 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. If the time between  
additional sector erase commands can be assumed to be less  
than 50µs, the system need not monitor I/O3. Any command  
other than Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during the time-out  
period resets the device to reading array data. The system must  
rewrite the command sequence and any additional sector  
addresses and commands.  
Figure 1. Program Operation  
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence  
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program bytes  
or words to the device faster than using the standard program  
command sequence. The unlock bypass command sequence  
is initiated by first writing two unlock cycles. This is followed by  
a third write cycle containing the unlock bypass command, 20h.  
The device then enters the unlock bypass mode. 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 program 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 5 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 first cycle  
must contain the data 90h; the second cycle the data 00h.  
The system can monitor I/O3 to determine if the sector erase  
timer has timed out. (See the " I/O3: Sector Erase Timer"  
(June, 2005, Version 1.1)  
11  
AMIC Technology, Corp.  
A29L800A Series  
section.) The time-out begins from the rising edge of the final  
pulse in the command sequence.  
The system may also write the autoselect command sequence  
when the device is in the Erase Suspend mode. The device  
allows reading autoselect codes even at addresses within  
erasing sectors, since the codes are not stored in the memory  
array. When the device exits the autoselect mode, the device  
reverts to the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another  
valid operation. See "Autoselect Command Sequence" for  
more information.  
The system must write the Erase Resume command (address  
bits are "don't care") to exit the erase suspend mode and  
continue the sector erase operation. Further writes of the  
Resume command are ignored. Another Erase Suspend  
command can be written after the device has resumed erasing.  
WE  
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the Erase  
Suspend command is valid. All other commands are ignored.  
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device  
returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer  
latched. The system can determine the status of the erase  
operation by using I/O7, I/O6, or I/O2. Refer to "Write Operation  
Status" for information on these status bits.  
Figure 2 illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer  
to the Erase/Program Operations tables in the "AC  
Characteristics" section for parameters, and to the Sector  
Erase Operations Timing diagram for timing waveforms.  
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands  
The Erase Suspend command 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 50µs  
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. Writing  
the Erase Suspend command during the Sector Erase time-out  
immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends the  
erase operation. Addresses are "don't cares" when writing the  
Erase Suspend command.  
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a sector  
erase operation, the device requires a maximum of 20µs 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 system can

selected for erasure.) Normal read and write timings and  
command definitions apply. Reading at any address within  
erase-suspended sectors produces status data 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.

Write Operation Status  
Several bits, I/O2, I/O3, I/O5, I/O6, I/O7, RY/  
are provided in  
BY  
the A29L800A to determine the status of a write operation.  
Table 6 and the following subsections describe the functions of  
START  
these status bits. I/O7, I/O6 and RY/  
each offer a method for  
BY  
determining whether a program or erase operation is complete  
or in progress. These three bits are discussed first.

During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs  
on I/O7 the complement of the datum programmed to I/O7. This  
I/O7 status also applies to programming during Erase  
Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is  
complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to I/O7.  
The system must provide the program address to read valid

During the Embedded Erase algorithm,  
Polling produces

a "0" on I/O7. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is  
complete, or if the device enters the Erase Suspend mode,  
Read I/O7 - I/O0  
Address = VA  
Polling produces a "1" on I/O7.This is analogous to the  
Data  
complement/true datum output described for the Embedded  
Program algorithm: the erase function changes all the bits in a  
sector to "1"; prior to this, the device outputs the "complement,"  
or "0." The system must provide an address within any of the  
sectors selected for erasure to read valid status information on  
I/O7.  
Yes  
I/O7 = Data ?  
When the system detects I/O7 has changed from the  
complement to true data, it can read valid data at I/O7 - I/O0 on  
the following read cycles. This is because I/O7 may change  
No  
asynchronously with I/O0 - I/O6 while Output Enable (  
) is  
OE  
asserted low. The  
Polling Timings (During Embedded  
Data  
Algorithms) in the "AC Characteristics" section illustrates this.

Note :  
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector  
erase operation, a valid address is an address within any  
sector selected for erasure. During chip erase, a valid  
address is any non-protected sector address.  
2. I/O7 should be rechecked even if I/O5 = "1" because  
I/O7 may change simultaneously with I/O5.

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 6 to compare outputs for I/O2 and I/O6.  
Figure 4 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. 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/O2 and I/O6 in  
graphical form.  
The RY/  
is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that indicates  
BY  
whether an Embedded algorithm is in progress or complete.  
The RY/  
status is valid after the rising edge of the final

pulse in the command sequence. Since RY/  
is an open-

drain output, several RY/  
pins can be tied together in

parallel with a pull-up resistor to VCC. (The RY/

If the output is low (Busy), the device is actively erasing or  
programming. (This includes programming in the Erase  
Suspend mode.) If the output is high (Ready), the device is  
ready to read array data (including during the Erase Suspend  
mode), or is in the standby mode.  
Reading Toggle Bits I/O6, I/O2  
Table 6 shows the outputs for RY/  
. Refer to “  
RESET  
BY  
Refer to Figure 4 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  
returns to determine the status of the operation (top of Figure  
4).  
Timings”, “Timing Waveforms for Program Operation” and  
“Timing Waveforms for Chip/Sector Erase Operation” for more  
information.  
I/O6: Toggle Bit I  
Toggle Bit I on I/O6 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  
pulse in the command sequence (prior to the  
WE  
program or erase operation), and 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  
or  
to control the read  
CE  
OE  
cycles.) 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/O6 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/O6 and I/O2 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/O6 toggles. When the device  
enters the Erase Suspend mode, I/O6 stops toggling. However,  
the system must also use I/O2 to determine which sectors are  
erasing or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the system can use  
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 I/O5 failure condition may appear if the system tries to  
program a "1 "to a location 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."  
I/O7 (see the subsection on " I/O7 :  
Polling").  
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/O6. Refer to Figure 4 for the toggle bit algorithm, and  
to the Toggle Bit Timings figure in the "AC Characteristics"  
section for the timing diagram. The I/O2 vs. I/O6 figure shows  
the differences between I/O2 and I/O6 in graphical form. See  
also the subsection on " I/O2: Toggle Bit II".  
Under both these conditions, the system must issue the reset  
command to return the device to reading array data.  
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 rising  
edge of the final  
I/O2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within those  
pulse in the command sequence.

I/O3: Sector Erase Timer  
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.

(Toggle Bit I) 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 (other  
than 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 6 shows the  
outputs for I/O3.

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. 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. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the four-bus-cycle command sequence for programming. See Table 5 for  
further information on command definitions.  
6. The device has a guaranteed minimum erase and program cycle endurance of 10,000 cycles.
