General Description
The device is an asynchronous, uniform block, parallel NOR Flash memory device.
READ, ERASE, and PROGRAM operations are performed using a single low-voltage sup-
ply. Upon power-up, the device defaults to read array mode.
The main memory array is divided into uniform blocks that can be erased independent-
ly so that valid data can be preserved while old data is purged. PROGRAM and ERASE
commands are written to the command interface of the memory. An on-chip program/
erase controller simplifies the process of programming or erasing the memory by taking
care of all special operations required to update the memory contents. The end of a
PROGRAM or ERASE operation can be detected and any error condition can be identi-
fied. The command set required to control the device is consistent with JEDEC stand-
ards.
CE#, OE#, and WE# control the bus operation of the device and enable a simple con-
nection to most microprocessors, often without additional logic.
The device supports asynchronous random read and page read from all blocks of the
array. It also features an internal program buffer that improves throughput by program-
ming 512 words via one command sequence. A 512-word extended memory block over-
laps addresses with array block 0. Users can program this additional space and then
protect it to permanently secure the contents. The device also features different levels of
hardware and software protection to secure blocks from unwanted modification.
Automatic Power Savings Feature
The automatic power savings feature provides low power operation during reads.
After data is read from the memory array and the address lines are quiescent, the auto-
matic power savings feature reduces device current to a low value of ICCAPS.
During automatic power savings mode, average current is measured over 5ms time in-
terval 5μs after the following events happen:
No internal read, program or erase activity occurring
RST# is deasserted and CE# is asserted
All other signals are quiescent and at VSS or VCCQ

Signal Descriptions
The signal description table below is a comprehensive list of signals for this device fami-
ly. All signals listed may not be supported on this device. See Signal Assignments for in-
formation specific to this device.
Table 1: Signal Descriptions
Name Type Description
A[MAX:0] Input Address: Selects the cells in the array to access during READ operations. During WRITE oper-
ations, they control the commands sent to the command interface of the program/erase con-
troller.
CE# Input Chip enable: Activates the device, enabling READ and WRITE operations to be performed.
When CE# is HIGH, the device goes to standby and data outputs are High-Z.
OE# Input Output enable: Active LOW input. OE# LOW enables the data output buffers during READ
cycles. When OE# is HIGH, data outputs are High-Z.
WE# Input Write enable: Controls WRITE operations to the device. Address is latched on the falling
edge of WE# and data is latched on the rising edge.
VPP/WP# Input VPP/Write Protect: Provides WRITE PROTECT function and VHH function. These functions
protect the lowest or highest block and enable the device to enter unlock bypass mode, re-
spectively. (Refer to Hardware Protection and Bypass Operations for details.)
RST# Input Reset: Applies a hardware reset to the device control logic and places it in standby, which is
achieved by holding RST# LOW for at least tPLPH. After RST# goes HIGH, the device is ready
for READ and WRITE operations (after tPHEL or tPHWL, whichever occurs last).
DQ[15:0] I/O Data I/O: Outputs the data stored at the selected address during a READ operation. During
WRITE operations, they represent the commands sent to the command interface of the inter-
nal state machine.
RY/BY# Output Ready busy: Open-drain output that can be used to identify when the device is performing
a PROGRAM or ERASE operation. During PROGRAM or ERASE operations, RY/BY# is LOW,
and is High-Z during read mode, auto select mode, and erase suspend mode.
The use of an open-drain output enables the RY/BY# pins from several devices to be connec-
ted to a single pull-up resistor to VCCQ. A low value will then indicate that one (or more) of
the devices is (are) busy. A 10K Ohm or bigger resistor is recommended as pull-up resistor to
achieve 0.1V VOL.
VCC Supply Supply voltage: Provides the power supply for READ, PROGRAM, and ERASE operations.
The device is disabled when VCC VLKO. If the program/erase controller is programming or
erasing during this time, then the operation aborts and the contents being altered will be
invalid.
A 0.1μF and 0.01µF capacitor should be connected between VCC and VSS to decouple the cur-
rent surges from the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry the cur-
rents required during PROGRAM and ERASE operations (see DC Characteristics).
VCCQ Supply I/O supply voltage: Provides the power supply to the I/O pins and enables all outputs to be
powered independently from VCC.
A 0.1μF and 0.01µF capacitor should be connected between VCCQ and VSS to decouple the
current surges from the power supply.
VSS Supply Ground: All VSS pins must be connected to the system ground.

Notes: 1. Typical glitches of less than 3ns on CE#, OE#, and WE# are ignored by the device and do
not affect bus operations.
2. H = Logic level HIGH (VIH); L = Logic level LOW (VIL); X = HIGH or LOW.
3. If WP# is LOW, then the highest or the lowest block remains protected, depending on
line item.
4. Data input is required when issuing a command sequence or when performing data
polling or block protection.
Read
Bus READ operations read from the memory cells, registers, extended memory block, or
CFI space. To accelerate the READ operation, the memory array can be read in page
mode where data is internally read and stored in a page buffer.
Page size is 16 words and is addressed by address inputs A[3:0]. The extended memory
blocks and CFI area support page read mode.
A valid bus READ operation involves setting the desired address on the address inputs,
taking CE# and OE# LOW, and holding WE# HIGH. The data I/Os will output the value.
If CE# goes HIGH and returns LOW for a subsequent access, a random read access is
performed and tACC or tCE is required. (See AC Characteristics for details about when
the output becomes valid.)
Write
Bus WRITE operations write to the command interface. A valid bus WRITE operation
begins by setting the desired address on the address inputs. The address inputs are
latched by the command interface on the falling edge of CE# or WE#, whichever occurs
last. The data I/Os are latched by the command interface on the rising edge of CE# or
WE#, whichever occurs first. OE# must remain HIGH during the entire bus WRITE oper-
ation (See AC Characteristics for timing requirement details).
Standby
Driving CE# HIGH in read mode causes the device to enter standby and data I/Os to be
High-Z (See DC Characteristics).

During PROGRAM or ERASE operations, the device will continue to use the program/
erase supply current (ICC3) until the operation completes. The device cannot be placed
into standby mode during a PROGRAM/ERASE operation.
Output Disable
Data I/Os are High-Z when OE# is HIGH.
Reset
During reset mode the device is deselected and the outputs are High-Z. The device is in
reset mode when RST# is LOW. The power consumption is reduced to the standby level,
independently from CE#, OE#, or WE# inputs.
When RST# is HIGH, a time of tPHEL is required before a READ operation can access
the device, and a delay of tPHWL is required before a write sequence can be initiated.
After this wake-up interval, normal operation is restored, the device defaults to read ar-
ray mode, and the data polling register is reset.
If RST# is driven LOW during a PROGRAM/ERASE operation or any other operation that
requires writing to the device, the operation will abort within tPLRH, and memory con-
tents at the aborted block or address are no longer valid.

Registers
The device features two methods for monitoring internal status during modify opera-
tions: data polling status and read status register. Users must not mix the two methods.
Only one method at a time must be used to monitor internal operations.
Data Polling Register
The device automatically enters data polling status mode upon command issuance.
The data polling status information uses the following to indicate information: DQ1,
DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, and DQ7; DQ[15:8] are reserved and will output 00h.
Table 4: Data Polling Register Bit Definitions
Note 1 applies to entire table
Bit Name Settings Description Notes
DQ7 Data polling
bit
0 or 1, depending on
operations
Monitors whether the program/erase controller has successful-
ly completed its operation, or has responded to an ERASE SUS-
PEND operation.
2, 4
DQ6 Toggle bit Toggles: 0 to 1; 1 to 0;
and so on
Monitors whether the program, erase, or blank check control-
ler has successfully completed its operations, or has responded
to an ERASE SUSPEND operation. During a PROGRAM/ERASE/
BLANK CHECK operation, DQ6 toggles from 0 to 1, 1 to 0, and
so on, with each successive READ operation from any address.
3, 4, 5
DQ5 Error bit 0 = Success
1 = Failure
Identifies errors detected by the program/erase controller. DQ5
is set to 1 when a PROGRAM, BLOCK ERASE, or CHIP ERASE op-
eration fails to write the correct data to the memory, or when
a BLANK CHECK or CRC operation fails.
4, 6
DQ3 Erase timer
bit
0 = Erase not in progress
1 = Erase in progress
Identifies the start of program/erase controller operation dur-
ing a BLOCK ERASE command. Before the program/erase con-
troller starts, this bit set to 0.
4
DQ2 Alternative
toggle bit
Toggles: 0 to 1; 1 to 0;
and so on
During CHIP ERASE, BLOCK ERASE, and ERASE SUSPEND opera-
tions, DQ2 toggles from 0 to 1, 1 to 0, and so on, with each
successive READ operation from addresses within the blocks
being erased.
3, 4
DQ1 Buffered
program
abort bit
1 = Abort Indicates a BUFFER PROGRAM, BLANK CHECK, or CRC opera-
tion abort. The BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET com-
mand must be issued to return the device to read mode (see
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command).
Notes: 1. The data polling register can be read during PROGRAM, ERASE, or ERASE SUSPEND op-
erations; the READ operation outputs data on DQ[7:0].
2. For a PROGRAM operation in progress, DQ7 outputs the complement of the bit being
programmed. For a READ operation from the address previously programmed success-
fully, DQ7 outputs existing DQ7 data. For a READ operation from addresses with blocks
to be erased while an ERASE SUSPEND operation is in progress, DQ7 outputs 0; upon
successful completion of the ERASE SUSPEND operation, DQ7 outputs 1. For an ERASE
operation in progress, DQ7 outputs 0; upon ERASE operation's successful completion,
DQ7 outputs 1. During a BUFFER PROGRAM operation, the data polling bit is valid only
for the last word being programmed in the write buffer.

3. After successful completion of a PROGRAM, ERASE, or BLANK CHECK operation, the de-
vice returns to read mode.
4. During erase suspend mode, READ operations to addresses within blocks not being
erased output memory array data as if in read mode. A protected block is treated the
same as a block not being erased. See the Toggle Flowchart for more information.
5. During erase suspend mode, DQ6 toggles when addressing a cell within a block being
erased. The toggling stops when the program/erase controller has suspended the ERASE
operation. See the Toggle Flowchart for more information.
6. When DQ5 is set to 1, a READ/RESET (F0h) command must be issued before any subse-
quent command.

Read Status Register
The device’s status register displays PROGRAM, ERASE, and BLANK CHECK operations
status. A device’s status can be read after writing the READ STATUS REGISTER com-
mand (70h). When the READ STATUS REGISTER command is issued, the current status
is captured by the register and the device is in read status register mode. The first read
access in the status register mode exits the mode and returns to the output state when
the READ STATUS REGISTER command was issued. No other command should be sent
before reading the status register to exit the status register mode.
The status register bits are output on DQ[7:0], while DQ[15:8] outputs are 00h.

The status register content can be cleared by CLEAR STATUS REGISTER command
(71h). The CLEAR STATUS REGISTER command clears the status register bits SR[6:1].
SR7 remains at 0, which indicates the device is busy.
However, for buffer program abort only, the CLEAR STATUS REGISTER command
would change also SR7 to 1, which reverts the device to main array read mode. The sta-
tus register can also be cleared by using RESET Command (F0h).

READ and AUTO SELECT Operations
READ/RESET Command
The READ/RESET (F0h) command returns the device to read mode and resets the errors
in the data polling register. One or three bus WRITE operations can be used to issue the
READ/RESET command. Note: A full three-cycle RESET command sequence must be
used to reset the device in the event of a buffered program abort error (DQ1 = 1).
Once a PROGRAM, ERASE, or SUSPEND operation begins, RESET commands are ignor-
ed until the operation is complete. Read/reset serves primarily to return the device to
read mode from a failed PROGRAM or ERASE operation. Read/reset may cause a return
to read mode from undefined states that might result from invalid command sequen-
ces. A hardware reset may be required to return to normal operation from some unde-
fined states.
To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system must issue a two-cycle UNLOCK BYPASS
RESET command sequence. A READ/RESET command will not exit unlock bypass
mode.
READ CFI Command
The READ CFI (98h) command puts the device in read CFI mode and is only valid when
the device is in read array or auto select mode. One bus WRITE cycle is required to issue
the command.
Once in read CFI mode, bus READ operations will output data from the CFI memory
area (Refer to the Common Flash Interface for details).
Read CFI mode is exited by performing a READ/RESET command (F0h). The device re-
turns to read mode unless it entered read CFI mode after an ERASE SUSPEND or PRO-
GRAM SUSPEND command, in which case it returns to erase or program suspend
mode.
AUTO SELECT Command
At power-up or after a hardware reset, the device is in read mode. It can then be put in
auto select mode by issuing an AUTO SELECT (90h) command. Auto select mode ena-
bles the following device information to be read:
Electronic signature, which includes manufacturer and device code information as
shown in the Electronic Signature table.
Block protection, which includes the block protection status and extended memory
block protection indicator, as shown in the Block Protection table.
Electronic signature or block protection information is read by executing a READ opera-
tion with control signals and addresses set, as shown in the Read Electronic Signature
table or the Block Protection table, respectively. In addition, this device information can
be read or set by issuing an AUTO SELECT command.
Auto select mode can be used by the programming equipment to automatically match a
device with the application code to be programmed.
Three consecutive bus WRITE operations are required to issue an AUTO SELECT com-
mand. The device remains in auto select mode until a READ/RESET or READ CFI com-
mand is issued.

The device cannot enter auto select mode when a PROGRAM or ERASE operation is in
progress (RY/BY# LOW). However, auto select mode can be entered if the PROGRAM or
ERASE operation has been suspended by issuing a PROGRAM SUSPEND or ERASE SUS-
PEND command.
Auto select mode is exited by performing a READ/RESET command (F0h). The device
returns to read mode unless it entered auto select mode after an ERASE SUSPEND or
PROGRAM SUSPEND command, in which case it returns to erase or program suspend
mode.

Cyclic Redundancy Check Operation
CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK Command
The CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK (CRC) command is a nonsecure hash function de-
signed to detect accidental changes to raw data. Typically, it is used in digital networks
and storage devices such as hard disk drives. A CRC-enabled device calculates a short,
fixed-length binary sequence known as the CRC code (or CRC). The device CRC opera-
tion will generate the CRC result of the whole device or of an address range specified by
the operation. Then the CRC result is compared with the expected CRC data provided in
the sequence. Finally, the device indicates a pass or fail through the data polling regis-
ter. If the CRC fails, corrective action is possible, such as re-verifying with a normal
READ mode or rewriting the array data.
CRC is a higher performance alternative to reading data directly to verify recently pro-
grammed data, or as a way to periodically check the data integrity of a large block of
data against a stored CRC reference over the life of the product.
CRC helps improve test efficiency for programmer or burn-in stress tests. No system
hardware changes are required to enable CRC.
The CRC-64 operation follows the ECMA standard; the generating polynomial is:
G(x) = x64 + x62 + x57 + x55 + x54 + x53 + x52 + x47 + x46 + x45 + x40 + x39 + x38 + x37 + x35 + x33
+ x32+ x31 + x29 + x27 + x24 + x23 + x22 + x21 + x19 + x17 + x13 + x12 + x10 + x9 + x7 + x4 + x + 1
Note: The data stream sequence is from LSB to MSB and the default initial CRC value is
all zeros.
The CRC command sequences are shown in the tables below, for an entire die or for a
selected range, respectively.

Bypass Operations
UNLOCK BYPASS Command
The UNLOCK BYPASS (20h) command is used to place the device in unlock bypass
mode. Three bus WRITE operations are required to issue the UNLOCK BYPASS com-
mand.
When the device enters unlock bypass mode, the two initial UNLOCK cycles required
for a standard PROGRAM or ERASE operation are not needed, thus enabling faster total
program or erase time.
The UNLOCK BYPASS command is used in conjunction with UNLOCK BYPASS PRO-
GRAM or UNLOCK BYPASS ERASE commands to program or erase the device faster
than with standard PROGRAM or ERASE commands. Using these commands can save
considerable time when the cycle time to the device is long. When in unlock bypass
mode, only the following commands are valid:
The UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM command can be issued to program addresses
within the device.
The UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE command can then be issued to erase one or
more memory blocks.
The UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE command can be issued to erase the whole mem-
ory array.
The UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM and UNLOCK BYPASS EN-
HANCED WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM commands can be issued to speed up the
programming operation.
The UNLOCK BYPASS RESET command can be issued to return the device to read
mode.
In unlock bypass mode, the device can be read as if in read mode.
In addition to the UNLOCK BYPASS command, when VPP/WP# is raised to VHH, the de-
vice automatically enters unlock bypass mode. When V PP/WP# returns to VIH or VIL, the
device is no longer in unlock bypass mode, and normal operation resumes. The transi-
tions from VIH to VHH and from VHH to VIH must be slower than tVHVPP. (See the Accel-
erated Program, Data Polling/Toggle AC Characteristics.)
Note: Micron recommends entering and exiting unlock bypass mode using the ENTER
UNLOCK BYPASS and UNLOCK BYPASS RESET commands rather than raising VPP/WP#
to VHH. VPP/WP# should never be raised to VPPH from any mode except read mode; oth-
erwise, the device may be left in an indeterminate state. VPP/WP# should not remain at
VHH for than 80 hours cumulative.
UNLOCK BYPASS RESET Command
The UNLOCK BYPASS RESET (90/00h) command is used to return to read/reset mode
from unlock bypass mode. Two bus WRITE operations are required to issue the UN-
LOCK BYPASS RESET command. The READ/RESET command does not exit from un-
lock bypass mode.

Program Operations
PROGRAM Command
The PROGRAM (A0h) command can be used to program a value to one address in the
memory array. The command requires four bus WRITE operations, and the final WRITE
operation latches the address and data in the internal state machine and starts the pro-
gram/erase controller. After programming has started, bus READ operations output the
data polling register content.
Programming can be suspended and then resumed by issuing a PROGRAM SUSPEND
command and a PROGRAM RESUME command, respectively.
If the address falls in a protected block, the PROGRAM command is ignored, and the
data remains unchanged. The data polling register is not read, and no error condition is
given.
After the PROGRAM operation has completed, the device returns to read mode, unless
an error has occurred. When an error occurs, bus READ operations to the device contin-
ue to output the data polling register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset
the error condition and return the device to read mode.
The PROGRAM command cannot change a bit set to 0 back to 1, and an attempt to do
so is masked during a PROGRAM operation. Instead, an ERASE command must be used
to set all bits in one memory block or in the entire memory from 0 to 1.
The PROGRAM operation is aborted by performing a hardware reset or by powering
down the device. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended
that the words or bytes that were aborted be reprogrammed.
UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM (A0h)
command can be used to program one address in the memory array. The command re-
quires two bus WRITE operations instead of four required by a standard PROGRAM
command; the final WRITE operation latches the address and data and starts the pro-
gram/erase controller (The standard PROGRAM command requires four bus WRITE op-
erations). The PROGRAM operation using the UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM command
behaves identically to the PROGRAM operation using the PROGRAM command. The
operation cannot be aborted. A bus READ operation to the memory outputs the data
polling register.
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM Command
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM (25h) command makes use of the program buffer to
speed up programming and dramatically reduces system programming time compared
to the standard non-buffered PROGRAM command. This product supports a 512-word
maximum program buffer.
When issuing a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command, V PP/WP# can be held HIGH
or raised to VHH. Also, it can be held LOW if the block is not the lowest or highest block,
depending on the part number.
The following successive steps are required to issue the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM
command:

First, two UNLOCK cycles are issued. Next, a third bus WRITE cycle sets up the WRITE
TO BUFFER PROGRAM command. The set-up code can be addressed to any location
within the targeted block. Then, a fourth bus WRITE cycle sets up the number of words
to be programmed. Value n is written to the same block address, where n + 1 is the
number of words to be programmed. Value n + 1 must not exceed the size of the pro-
gram buffer, or the operation will abort. A fifth cycle loads the first address and data to
be programmed. Last, n bus WRITE cycles load the address and data for each word into
the program buffer. Addresses must lie within the range from the start address +1 to the
start address + (n - 1).
Optimum programming performance and lower power usage are achieved by aligning
the starting address at the beginning of a 512-word boundary (A[8:0] = 0x000h). Any
buffer size smaller than 512 words is allowed within a 512-word boundary, while all ad-
dresses used in the operation must lie within the 512-word boundary. In addition, any
crossing boundary buffer program will result in a program abort.
To program the content of the program buffer, this command must be followed by a
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM command.
If an address is written several times during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation,
the address/data counter will be decremented at each data load operation, and the data
will be programmed to the last word loaded into the buffer.
Invalid address combinations or the incorrect sequence of bus WRITE cycles will abort
the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command.
The data polling register bits DQ1, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7 can be used to monitor the device
status during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation.
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command should not be used to change a bit set to
0 back to 1, and an attempt to do so is masked during the operation. Rather than the
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command, the ERASE command should be used to set
memory bits from 0 to 1.

UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER
(25h) command can be used to program the device in fast program mode. The com-
mand requires two bus WRITE operations fewer than the standard WRITE TO BUFFER
PROGRAM command.
The UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command behaves the same way
as the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command: the operation cannot be aborted, and
a bus READ operation to the memory outputs the data polling register.
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM command is used to confirm an UN-
LOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command and to program the n + 1
words loaded in the program buffer by this command.
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM Command
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM (29h) command is used to confirm a
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command and to program the n + 1 words loaded in the
program buffer by this command.
BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET Command
A BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET (F0h) command must be issued to reset
the device to read mode when the BUFFER PROGRAM operation is aborted. The buffer
programming sequence can be aborted in the following ways:
Load a value that is greater than the page buffer size during the number of locations
to program in the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command.
Write to an address in a different block than the one specified during the WRITE BUF-
FER LOAD command.
Write an address/data pair to a different write buffer page than the one selected by
the starting address during the program buffer data loading stage of the operation.
Write data other than the CONFIRM command after the specified number of data
load cycles.
The abort condition is indicated by DQ1 = 1, DQ7 = DQ7# (for the last address location
loaded), DQ6 = toggle, and DQ5 = 0 (all of which are data polling register bits). A BUF-
FERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command sequence must be written to reset the
device for the next operation.
Note: The full three-cycle BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command se-
quence is required when using buffer programming features in unlock bypass mode.
PROGRAM SUSPEND Command
The PROGRAM SUSPEND command can be used to interrupt a program operation so
that data can be read from another block. When the PROGRAM SUSPEND command is
issued during a program operation, the device suspends the operation within the pro-
gram suspend latency time and updates the data polling register bits.
After the PROGRAM operation has been suspended, data can be read from any address.
However, data is invalid when read from an address where a program operation has
been suspended.

The PROGRAM SUSPEND command may also be issued during a PROGRAM operation
while an erase is suspended. In this case, data may be read from any address not in
erase suspend or program suspend mode. To read from the extended memory block
area (one-time programmable area), the ENTER/EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK
command sequences must be issued.
The system may also issue the AUTO SELECT command sequence when the device is in
program suspend mode. The system can read as many auto select codes as required.
When the device exits auto select mode, the device reverts to program suspend mode
and is ready for another valid operation.
The PROGRAM SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device reset or power-
down. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that the
words that were aborted be reprogrammed. This device has two different command co-
des for program suspend, B0h and 51h. Code B0h is available for legacy compatibility.
Code 51h is recommended for use.
PROGRAM RESUME Command
The PROGRAM RESUME command must be issued to exit a program suspend mode
and resume a PROGRAM operation. The controller can use DQ7 or DQ6 data polling
bits to determine the status of the PROGRAM operation. After a PROGRAM RESUME
command is issued, subsequent PROGRAM RESUME commands are ignored. Another
PROGRAM SUSPEND command can be issued after the device has resumed program-
ming. This device has two different command codes for Program Resume (30h or 50h).
Code 30h is available for legacy compatibility. Code 50h is recommended to use.
ACCELERATED BUFFERED PROGRAM Operations
ACCELERATED BUFFER PROGRAM operations provides faster performance than
standard program command sequences. Operations are enabled through VPP/WP# un-
der the VHH voltage supply.
When the system asserts VHH on input, the device automatically enters the UNLOCK
BYPASS mode, which enables the system to use the UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUF-
FER PROGRAM (25h) command sequence.
Removing VHH from the VPP upon completion of the embedded program operation re-
turns the device to normal operation.
Table 13: ACCELERATED PROGRAM Requirements and Recommendations
Device State Requirements/Recommendations
Device blocks Requirement: Must be unprotected prior to raising VPP/WP# to VHH
VHH applied to VPP/WP# Requirement: Maximum cumulative period of 80 hours.
VPP/WP# Requirement: Must not be at VHH for operations except ACCELERATED BUFFERED PRO-
GRAM and CHIP ERASE; otherwise device can be damaged
Recommendation: Keep stable to VHH during ACCELERATED BUFFERED PROGRAM opera-
tion
Power-up Recommendation: Apply VHH on VPP/WP# after VCC/VCCQ is stable on.
Power-down Recommendation: Adjust VPP/WP# from VHH to VIH/VIL before VCC/VCCQ goes LOW.

Erase Operations
CHIP ERASE Command
The CHIP ERASE (80/10h) command erases the entire chip. Six bus WRITE operations
are required to issue the command and start the program/erase controller.
Protected blocks are not erased. If all blocks are protected, the data remains unchanged.
No error is reported when protected blocks are not erased.
During the CHIP ERASE operation, the device ignores all other commands, including
ERASE SUSPEND. It is not possible to abort the operation. All bus READ operations dur-
ing CHIP ERASE output the data polling register on the data I/Os. See the Data Polling
Register section for more details.
After the CHIP ERASE operation completes, the device returns to read mode, unless an
error has occurred. If an error occurs, the device will continue to output the data polling
register.
When the operation fails, a READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error
condition and return to read mode. The status of the array must be confirmed through
the BLANK CHECK operation and the BLOCK ERASE command re-issued to the failed
block.
The CHIP ERASE command sets all of the bits in unprotected blocks of the device to 1.
All previous data is lost.
The operation is aborted by performing a reset or by powering down the device. In this
case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that the entire chip be
erased again.
UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE (80/10h)
command can be used to erase all memory blocks at one time. The command requires
only two bus WRITE operations instead of six using the standard CHIP ERASE com-
mand. The final bus WRITE operation starts the program/erase controller.
The UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE command behaves the same way as the CHIP
ERASE command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to the
memory outputs the data polling register.
BLOCK ERASE Command
The BLOCK ERASE (80/30h) command erase one block. It sets all bits in the unprotec-
ted selected block to 1. All previous data in the selected block are lost. Six bus WRITE
operations are required to select the block to be erased.
After the sixth bus WRITE operation, a bus READ operation outputs the data polling
register. See the WE#-Controlled Program waveforms for details on how to identify if the
program/erase controller has started the BLOCK ERASE operation.
After the BLOCK ERASE operation completes, the device returns to read mode, unless
an error has occurred. If an error occurs, bus READ operations will continue to output
the data polling register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error
condition and return to read mode.

If the selected block is protected, it is ignored and the data remains unchanged. No er-
ror condition is given when protected block is not erased.
During the BLOCK ERASE operation, the device ignores all commands except the
ERASE SUSPEND command and the READ STATUS command. The operation is abor-
ted by performing a hardware reset or powering down the device. In this case, data in-
tegrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that the aborted blocks be erased
again.
UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE
(80/30h) command can be used to erase one memory block. The command requires
two bus WRITE operations instead of six using the standard BLOCK ERASE command.
The final bus WRITE operation latches the address of the block and starts the program/
erase controller.
The UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE command behaves the same way as the BLOCK
ERASE command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to the
memory outputs the data polling register. See the BLOCK ERASE Command section for
details.
ERASE SUSPEND Command
The ERASE SUSPEND (B0h) command temporarily suspends a BLOCK ERASE opera-
tion. One bus WRITE operation is required to issue the command. The block address is
"Don't Care."
The program/erase controller suspends the ERASE operation within the erase suspend
latency time of the ERASE SUSPEND command being issued. However, when the
ERASE SUSPEND command is written during the block erase timeout, the device im-
mediately terminates the timeout period and suspends the ERASE operation. After the
program/erase controller has stopped, the device operates in read mode, and the erase
is suspended.
During an ERASE SUSPEND operation, it is possible to execute these operations in ar-
rays that are not suspended:
READ (main memory array)
PROGRAM
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM
AUTO SELECT
READ CFI
UNLOCK BYPASS
Extended memory block commands
READ/RESET
Reading from a suspended block will output the data polling register. If an attempt is
made to program in a protected or suspended block, the PROGRAM command is ignor-
ed and the data remains unchanged; also, the data polling register is not read and no
error condition is given.
Before the RESUME command is initiated, the READ/RESET command must to issued
to exit AUTO SELECT and READ CFI operations. In addition, the EXIT UNLOCK BYPASS

and EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK commands must be issued to exit unlock by-
pass and the extended memory block modes.
An ERASE SUSPEND command is ignored if it is written during a CHIP ERASE opera-
tion.
If the ERASE SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device hardware reset or
power-down, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that the suspen-
ded blocks be erased again.
ERASE RESUME Command
The ERASE RESUME (30h) command restarts the program/erase controller after an
ERASE SUSPEND operation.
The device must be in read array mode before the RESUME command will be accepted.
An erase can be suspended and resumed more than once.
ACCELERATED CHIP ERASE Operations
The ACCELERATED CHIP ERASE operation provides faster performance than the
standard CHIP ERASE command sequence. Operations are enabled through VPP/WP#
under the VHH voltage supply.
When the system asserts VHH on input, the device automatically enters the UNLOCK
BYPASS mode, which enables the system to use the UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE
(80/30h) command sequence.
When a block is protected, the CHIP ERASE command skips the protected block and
continues with next block erase. The command algorithm skips a block that failed to
erase and continues with the remaining blocks. The fail flag will be set for the operation.
Removing VHH from the VPP/WP# upon completion of the embedded erase operation
returns the device to normal operation. When an error occurs or when the operation
fails, the array status should be confirmed through the BLANK CHECK operation and
the BLOCK ERASE command re-issued to the failed block.
Table 14: ACCELERATED CHIP ERASE Requirements and Recommendations
Device Component/State Requirements/Recommendations
VPP/WP# Requirement: Must not be at VHH for operations except ACCELERATED PROGRAM and
CHIP ERASE; otherwise device can be damaged.
VHH applied to VPP/WP# Requirement: Maximum cumulative period of 80 hours.
Power-up Recommendation: Apply VHH on VPP/WP# after VCC/VCCQ is stable on.
Power-down Recommendation: Adjust VPP/WP# from VHH to VIH/VIL before VCC/VCCQ goes LOW.
BLANK CHECK Operation
The BLANK CHECK operation determines whether a specified block is blank (that is,
completely erased). It can also be used to determine whether a previous ERASE opera-
tion was successful, including ERASE operations that might have been interrupted by
power loss.

The BLANK CHECK operation checks for cells that are programmed or over-erased. If it
finds any, it returns a failure status, indicating that the block is not blank. If it returns a
passing status, the block is guaranteed blank (all 1s) and is ready to program.
Before executing, the ERASE operation initiates an embedded BLANK CHECK opera-
tion, and if the target block is blank, the ERASE operation is skipped, benefitting overall
cycle performance; otherwise, the ERASE operation continues.
The BLANK CHECK operation can occur in only one block at a time, and during its exe-
cution, reading the data polling register is the only other operation allowed. Reading
from any address in the device enables reading the data polling register to monitor
blank check progress or errors. Operations such as READ (array data), PROGRAM,
ERASE, and any suspended operation are not allowed.
After the BLANK CHECK operation has completed, the device returns to read mode un-
less an error has occurred. When an error occurs, the device continues to output data
polling register data. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error condi-
tion and return the device to read mode.

Device Protection
Hardware Protection
The VPP/WP# function provides a hardware method of protecting either the highest or
lowest block. When VPP/WP# is LOW, PROGRAM and ERASE operations on either of
these block options is ignored to provide protection. When VPP/WP# is HIGH, the de-
vice reverts to the previous protection status for the highest or lowest block. PROGRAM
and ERASE operations can modify the data in either of these block options unless block
protection is enabled.
Note: Micron highly recommends driving VPP/WP# HIGH or LOW. If a system needs to
float the VPP/WP# pin, without a pull-up/pull-down resistor and no capacitor, then an
internal pull-up resistor is enabled.
Table 15: VPP/WP# Functions
VPP/WP# Settings Function
VIL Highest or lowest block is protected.
VIH Highest or lowest block is unprotected unless software protection is activated.
Software Protection
The following software protection modes are available:
Volatile protection
Nonvolatile protection
Password protection
The device is shipped with all blocks unprotected. On first use, the device defaults to
the nonvolatile protection mode but can be activated in either the nonvolatile protec-
tion or password protection mode.
The desired protection mode is activated by setting either the nonvolatile protection
mode lock bit or the password protection mode lock bit of the lock register (see the Lock
Register section). Both bits are one-time-programmable and nonvolatile; therefore, af-
ter the protection mode has been activated, it cannot be changed, and the device is set
permanently to operate in the selected protection mode. It is recommended that the
desired software protection mode be activated when first programming the device.
For the highest or lowest block, a higher level of block protection can be achieved by
locking the block using nonvolatile protection mode and holding VPP /WP# LOW.
Blocks with volatile protection and nonvolatile protection can coexist within the memo-
ry array. If the user attempts to program or erase a protected block, the device ignores
the command and returns to read mode.
The block protection status can be read by performing a read electronic signature or by
issuing an AUTO SELECT command (see the Block Protection table).
Refer to the Block Protection Status table and the Software Protection Scheme figure for
details on the block protection scheme. Refer to the Protection Operations section for a
description of the command sets.

Volatile Protection Mode
Volatile protection enables the software application to protect blocks against inadver-
tent change and can be disabled when changes are needed. Volatile protection bits are
unique for each block and can be individually modified. Volatile protection bits control
the protection scheme only for unprotected blocks whose nonvolatile protection bits
are cleared to 1. Issuing a PROGRAM VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT or CLEAR VOLATILE
PROTECTION BIT command sets to 0 or clears to 1 the volatile protection bits and pla-
ces the associated blocks in the protected (0) or unprotected (1) state, respectively. The
volatile protection bit can be set or cleared as often as needed.
When the device is first shipped, or after a power-up or hardware reset, the volatile pro-
tection bits default to 1 (unprotected).
Nonvolatile Protection Mode
A nonvolatile protection bit is assigned to each block. Each of these bits can be set for
protection individually by issuing a PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT com-
mand. Also, each device has one global volatile bit called the nonvolatile protection bit
lock bit; it can be set to protect all nonvolatile protection bits at once. This global bit
must be set to 0 only after all nonvolatile protection bits are configured to the desired
settings. When set to 0, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit prevents changes to the
state of the nonvolatile protection bits. When cleared to 1, the nonvolatile protection
bits can be set and cleared using the PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT and
CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS commands, respectively.
No software command unlocks the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit unless the device
is in password protection mode; in nonvolatile protection mode, the nonvolatile protec-
tion bit lock bit can be cleared only by taking the device through a hardware reset or
power-up.
Nonvolatile protection bits cannot be cleared individually; they must be cleared all at
once using a CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS command. They will re-
main set through a hardware reset or a power-down/power-up sequence.
If one of the nonvolatile protection bits needs to be cleared (unprotected), additional
steps are required: First, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit must be cleared to 1, us-
ing either a power-cycle or hardware reset. Then, the nonvolatile protection bits can be
changed to reflect the desired settings. Finally, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit
must be set to 0 to lock the nonvolatile protection bits. The device now will operate nor-
mally.
To achieve the best protection, the PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION LOCK BIT
command should be executed early in the boot code, and the boot code should be pro-
tected by holding VPP/WP# LOW.
Nonvolatile protection bits and volatile protection bits have the same function when
VPP/WP# is HIGH or when VPP/WP# is at the voltage for program acceleration (VHH ).
Password Protection Mode
The password protection mode provides a higher level of security than the nonvolatile
protection mode by requiring a 64-bit password to unlock the nonvolatile protection bit
lock bit. In addition to this password requirement, the nonvolatile protection bit lock
bit is set to 0 after power-up and reset to maintain the device in password protection
mode.

Executing the UNLOCK PASSWORD command by entering the correct password clears
the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit, enabling the block nonvolatile protection bits to
be modified. If the password provided is incorrect, the nonvolatile protection bit lock
bit remains locked, and the state of the nonvolatile protection bits cannot be modified.
To place the device in password protection mode, the following two steps are required:
First, before activating the password protection mode, a 64-bit password must be set
and the setting verified. Password verification is allowed only before the password pro-
tection mode is activated. Next, password protection mode is activated by program-
ming the password protection mode lock bit to 0. This operation is irreversible. After the
bit is programmed, it cannot be erased, the device remains permanently in password
protection mode, and the 64-bit password can be neither retrieved nor reprogrammed.
In addition, all commands to the address where the password is stored are disabled.
Note: There is no means to verify the password after password protection mode is ena-
bled. If the password is lost after enabling the password protection mode, there is no
way to clear the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit.

Protection Operations
Blocks can be protected individually against accidental PROGRAM or ERASE opera-
tions. The block protection scheme is shown in the Software Protection Scheme figure.
Memory block and extended memory block protection is configured through the lock
register.
LOCK REGISTER Commands
After the ENTER LOCK REGISTER COMMAND SET (40h) command has been issued, all
bus READ or PROGRAM operations can be issued to the lock register.
The PROGRAM LOCK REGISTER (A0h) command allows the lock register to be config-
ured. The programmed data can then be checked with a READ LOCK REGISTER com-
mand by driving CE# and OE# LOW with the appropriate address data on the address
bus.
PASSWORD PROTECTION Commands
After the ENTER PASSWORD PROTECTION COMMAND SET (60h) command has been
issued, the commands related to password protection mode can be issued to the device.
The PROGRAM PASSWORD (A0h) command is used to program the 64-bit password
used in the password protection mode. To program the 64-bit password, the complete
command sequence must be entered four times at four consecutive addresses selected
by A[1:0]. By default, all password bits are set to 1. The password can be checked by is-
suing a READ PASSWORD command.
Note: A password must be programmed per Flash memory die to enable password pro-
tection.
The READ PASSWORD command is used to verify the password used in password pro-
tection mode. To verify the 64-bit password, the complete command sequence must be
entered four times at four consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0]. If the password
mode lock bit is programmed and the user attempts to read the password, the device
will output 00h onto the I/O data bus.
The UNLOCK PASSWORD (25/03h) command is used to clear the nonvolatile protec-
tion bit lock bit, allowing the nonvolatile protection bits to be modified. The UNLOCK
PASSWORD command must be issued, along with the correct password, and requires a
6μs delay between successive UNLOCK PASSWORD commands in order to prevent
hackers from cracking the password by trying all possible 64-bit combinations. If this
delay does not occur, the latest command will be ignored. Approximately 6μs is re-
quired for unlocking the device after the valid 64-bit password has been provided.
NONVOLATILE PROTECTION Commands
After the ENTER NONVOLATILE PROTECTION COMMAND SET (C0h) command has
been issued, the commands related to nonvolatile protection mode can be issued to the
device.
A block can be protected from program or erase by issuing a PROGRAM NONVOLATILE
PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command, along with the block address. This command sets
the nonvolatile protection bit to 0 for a given block.

The status of a nonvolatile protection bit for a given block or group of blocks can be
read by issuing a READ NONVOLATILE MODIFY PROTECTION BIT command, along
with the block address.
The nonvolatile protection bits are erased simultaneously by issuing a CLEAR ALL
NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS (80/30h) command. No specific block address is re-
quired. If the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit is set to 0, the command fails.

command has been issued, the commands that allow the nonvolatile protection bit lock
bit to be set can be issued to the device.

The PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT (A0h) command is used to
set the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit to 0, thus locking the nonvolatile protection
bits and preventing them from being modified.
The READ NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT STATUS command is used to
read the status of the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit.
VOLATILE PROTECTION Commands
After the ENTER VOLATILE PROTECTION COMMAND SET (E0h) command has been
issued, commands related to the volatile protection mode can be issued to the device.
The PROGRAM VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command individually sets a vola-
tile protection bit to 0 for a given block. If the nonvolatile protection bit for the same
block is set, the block is locked regardless of the value of the volatile protection bit (see
the Block Protection Status table).
The status of a volatile protection bit for a given block can be read by issuing a READ
VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT STATUS command along with the block address.
The CLEAR VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command individually clears (sets to 1)
the volatile protection bit for a given block. If the nonvolatile protection bit for the same
block is set, the block is locked regardless of the value of the volatile protection bit (see
the Block Protection Status table).
EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK Commands
The device has one extra 512-word extended memory block that can be accessed only
by the ENTER EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK (88h) command. It is used as a security
block to provide a permanent 128-bit secure ID number or to store additional informa-
tion. The device can be shipped with the extended memory block prelocked perma-
nently by Micron, including the 128-bit security identification number. Or, the device
can be shipped with the extended memory block unlocked, enabling customers to per-
manently program and lock it (default) (see Lock Register, the AUTO SELECT com-
mand, and the Block Protection table.)

After the ENTER EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK command has been issued, the device
enters the extended memory block mode. All bus READ or PROGRAM operations are
conducted on the extended memory block, and the extended memory block is ad-
dressed using the addresses occupied by block 0 in the other operating modes (see the
Memory Map table).
In extended memory block mode, ERASE, CHIP ERASE, ERASE SUSPEND, and ERASE
RESUME commands are not allowed. The extended memory block cannot be erased,
and each bit of the extended memory block can only be programmed once.

The extended memory block is protected from further modification by programming
lock register bit 0. Once invoked, this protection cannot be undone.
The device remains in extended memory block mode until the EXIT EXTENDED MEM-
ORY BLOCK (90/00h) command is issued, which returns the device to read mode, or
until power is removed from the device. After a power-up sequence or hardware reset,
the device will revert to reading memory blocks in the main array.
EXIT PROTECTION Command
The EXIT PROTECTION COMMAND SET (90/00h) command is used to exit the lock
register, password protection, nonvolatile protection, volatile protection, and nonvola-
tile protection bit lock bit command set modes and return the device to read mode.
Note that the READ/RESET command (F0h) is ignored under these modes.

Common Flash Interface
The common flash interface (CFI) is a JEDEC-approved, standardized data structure
that can be read from the flash memory device. It allows a system's software to query
the device to determine various electrical and timing parameters, density information,
and functions supported by the memory. The system can interface easily with the de-
vice, enabling the software to upgrade itself when necessary.
When the READ CFI command is issued, the device enters CFI query mode and the data
structure is read from memory. The following tables show the addresses (A[7:0]) used to
retrieve the data. The query data is always presented on the lowest order data outputs
(DQ[7:0]), and the other data outputs (DQ[15:8]) are set to 0.

Stresses greater than those listed may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a
stress rating only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other condi-
tions outside those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not im-
plied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may ad-
versely affect reliability.

Notes: 1. Typical values measured at room temperature and nominal voltages (VCC = 3V).
2. Typical and maximum values are sampled, but not 100% tested.
3. Erase to suspend is the time between an initial BLOCK ERASE or ERASE RESUME com-
mand and a subsequent ERASE SUSPEND command.
4. This typical value allows an ERASE operation to progress to completion--it is important
to note that the algorithm might never finish if the ERASE operation is always suspen-
ded less than this specification.
