REQUIREMENTS FOR READING ARRAY
DATA
To read array data from the outputs, the system must
drive the CE and OE pins to VIL. CE is the power control
and selects the device. OE is the output control and gates
array data to the output pins. WE should remain at VIH.
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 address 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.
WRITE COMMANDS/COMMAND SEQUENCES
To program data to the device or erase sectors of memory
, the system must drive WE and CE to VIL, and OE to
VIH.
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors
, or the entire device. Table indicates the address space
that each sector occupies. A "sector address" consists
of the address bits required to uniquely select a sector.
The Writing specific address and data commands or
sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 1 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. Section has details on erasing a
sector or the entire chip, or suspending/resuming the erase
operation.
After the system writes the "read silicon-ID" and "sector
protect verify" command sequence, the device enters
the "read silicon-ID" and "sector protect verify" mode.
The system can then read "read silicon-ID" and "sector
protect verify" codes from the internal register (which is
separate from the memory array) on Q7-Q0. Standard
read cycle timings apply in this mode. Refer to the "read
silicon-ID" and "sector protect verify" Mode and "read
silicon-ID" and "sector protect verify" Command
Sequence section for more information.
ICC2 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active
current specification for the write mode. The "AC
Characteristics" section contains timing specification
table and timing diagrams for write operations.
STANDBY MODE
When using both pins of CE and RESET, the device
enter CMOS Standby with both pins held at Vcc ± 0.3V.
IF CE and RESET are held at VIH, but not within the
range of VCC ± 0.3V, the device will still be in the standby
mode, but the standby current will be larger. During Auto
Algorithm operation, Vcc active current (ICC2) is re-
quired even CE = "H" until the operation is completed.
The device can be read with standard access time (tCE)
from either of these standby modes, before it is ready to
read data.
OUTPUT DISABLE
With the OE input at a logic high level (VIH), output from
the devices are disabled. This will cause the output pins
to be in a high impedance state.
RESET OPERATION
The RESET pin provides a hardware method of resetting
the device to reading array data. When the RESET pin is
driven low for at least a period of tRP, the device
immediately terminates any operation in progress,
tristates all output pins, and ignores all read/write
commands 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
re-initiated once the device is ready to accept another
command sequence, to ensure data integrity.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET pulse.
When RESET is held at VSS±0.3V, the device draws
CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET is held at VIL
but not within VSS±0.3V, the standby current will be
greater.
The RESET pin may be tied to system reset circuitry. A
system reset would that also reset the Flash memory,
enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from
the Flash memory.
If RESET is asserted during a program or erase
operation, the RY/BY pin remains a "0" (busy) until the
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a
time of tREADY (during Embedded Algorithms). The
