DATA SHEET

DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write Operation 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 program-

ming 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 DQ5 to “1”, or cause the Data#

Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was suc-

cessful. 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 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 program-

ming 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

program address and the data 90h. The second cycle

need only contain the data 00h. The device then

returns to reading array data.

Figure 3 illustrates the algorithm for the program oper-

ation. See the Erase/Program Operations table in “AC

Characteristics” for parameters, and to Figure 17 for

timing diagrams.

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 algo-

rithm 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 con-

trols or timings during these operations. Table 5 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. Note that a

hardware reset during the chip erase operation imme-

diately terminates the operation. The Chip Erase

command sequence should be reinitiated once the
