RA = Address of the location to be read

PA

= Address of the location to be programmed

SA = Address of the sector to be erased

Addresses A16, A17, and A18 select one of eight sectors

RD = Data to be read at selected address location

PD = Data to be programmed at selected address location

† Address pins A15, A16, A17, A18 = VIL or VIH for all bus-cycle addresses except for program address (PA), sector address (SA), and read address

(RA).

‡ No command cycles are required when the device is in read mode.

§ The reset command is required to return to the read mode when the device is in the algorithm-selection mode or if DQ5 goes high.

reset / read command

The read mode is activated by writing either of the two reset command sequences into the command register.

The device remains in this mode until one of the other valid command sequences is input into the command

register. Memory data is available in the read mode and can be read with standard microprocessor read-cycle

timing.

On power up, the device defaults to the read mode; therefore, a reset command sequence is not required and

memory data is available.

algorithm-selection command

The algorithm-selection command allows access to a binary code that matches the device with the proper

programming- and erase-command operations. After writing the three-bus-cycle command sequence, the first

byte of the algorithm-selection code (01h) can be read from address XX00h. The second byte of the code (A4h)

can be read from address XX01h (see Table 2). This mode remains in effect until another valid command

sequence is written to the device.

Sector-protection can be determined using the algorithm-selection command. After issuing the three bus-cycle

The sector address pins A16, A17, and A18 select the sector to be checked. The remaining address pins can

protected, DQ0 outputs a 0. This mode remains in effect until another valid command sequence is written to

the device.

byte-program command

Byte-programming is a four-bus-cycle command sequence. The first three bus cycles put the device into the

program-setup state. The fourth bus cycle loads the address location and the data to be programmed into the

device. The addresses are latched on the falling edge of W and the data is latched on the rising edge of W in
