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 A14, A15, and A16 select one of eight sectors

RD = Data to be read at the selected address location

PD = Data to be programmed at the selected address location

† Address pins A15 and A16 = 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 another valid command sequence 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 (20h)

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 by using the algorithm-selection command. After issuing the three

selected is not protected, DQ0 outputs a 0 state. 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, and 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 the fourth bus cycle. The rising edge of W starts the byte-program operation. The embedded

byte-programming function automatically provides needed voltage and timing to program and to verify the cell

margin. Any further commands written to the device during the program operation are ignored.
