GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Am28F512 is a 512 K bit Flash memory orga-

nized as 64 Kbytes of 8 bits each. AMD’s Flash mem-

ories offer the most cost-effective and reliable read/

write non-volatile random access memory. The

Am28F512 is packaged in 32-pin PDIP, PLCC, and

TSOP versions. It is designed to be reprogrammed

and erased in-system or in standard EPROM pro-

grammers. The Am28F512 is erased when shipped

from the factor y.

The standard Am28F512 offers access times as f ast as

70 ns, allowing operation of high-speed microproces-

sors without wait states. To eliminate bus contention,

the Am28F512 has separate chip enable (CE#) and

output enable (OE#) controls.

AMD ’s Flash memories augment EPROM functional ity

wit h in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The

Am28F512 uses a command register to manage this

functionality, while maintaining a standard JEDEC

Flash Standard 32-pin pinout. The command register

allows for 100% TTL level control inputs and fixed

power supply levels during erase and programming.

AMD’s Flash technology reliably stores memory con-

tents even after 10,000 erase and program cycles. The

AMD cell is designed to optimize the erase and pro-

gr a mmi n g mec h an is ms . I n ad dit i o n, t h e co mbi n a tio n of

advanced tunnel oxide processing and low internal

electric fields for erase and programming operations

produces reliable cycling. The Am28F512 uses a

12.0 V± 5% VPP high voltage input to perform the

Fl ash era se and Flas hr i te algorit hm s.

The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved

with AM D’s prop r ietary non -e pi pr oce ss . Lat ch- up pro-

tection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on ad-

dress and data pins from -1 V to VCC +1 V.

The Am28F512 is byte programmable using 10 ms pro-

gram ming pulses in accordan ce with AMD’s Flash rite

programming algorithm. The typical room temperature

programming time of the Am28F512 is one second.

The ent ire chip is b ul k er ased usi ng 10 ms era se pu ls es

according to AMD’s Flasherase algorithm. Ty pical era-

sure at room temperature is accomplished in less than

one second. The windowed package and the 15-20

minutes r equired f or EPROM erasure using ul tra- violet

light are elimin ated.

Commands are wr itten to the command register using

standard microprocessor write timings. Register con-

tents serv e as inputs to an internal state-machine which

controls the erase and programming circuitry. During

2 Am28F512

write cycles, the command register internally latches

address and data needed for the programming and

erase operations. For system design simplification, the

Am28F512 is designed to support either WE# or CE#

controlled writes. During a system write cycle, ad-

dresses are latched on the fa lling edge of WE# or CE#

whichev er occurs last. Data is latched on the rising edge

of WE# or CE# whiche ver occurs first. To simpli fy the f ol-

lowing discussion, the WE# pin is used as the write cycle

control pin throughout the rest of this text. All setup and

hold times are with respect to the WE# si gnal.

AMD’s Flash technology combines years of EPROM

and EEPROM experience to produce the highest levels

of quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness. The

Am28F512 electrically erases all bits simultaneously

using Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The bytes are pro-

grammed one byte at a time using the EPROM

programming mechanism of hot electron injection.

BASIC PRINCIPLES

The device uses 100% TTL-level control inputs to

manage the command register. Erase and repro-

gramming operations use a fixed 12.0 V ± 5% high

voltage input.

Read Only Memory

Without high VPP voltage, the device functions as a

read only memory and operates like a standard

EPROM. The control inputs still manage traditional

read, standby, output disable, and Auto select modes.

Command Register

The command register is enabled only when high volt-

age is applied to the VPP pin. The erase and repro-

gramming operations are only accessed via the

for erase and reprogramming operations. The tradi-

tional read, standby, output disable, and Auto select

modes are available via the register.

The device’s com mand regi ster is wr itten us ing stan-

dard microprocessor write timings. The register con-

trols an internal state machine that manages all device

operations. For system design simplification, the de-

vice is designed to support either WE# or CE# con-

trolled writes. During a system write cycle, addresses

are latched o n the fa lling edge of WE # or CE # w hich-

ever occurs last. Data is latched on the rising edge of

WE# or CE# whichever occur first. To simplify the fol-

lowing discussion, the WE# pin is used as the write

cycle control pin throughout the rest of this text. All

setup and hold times are with respect to the WE# sig-

nal.

Overview of Erase/Pr ogram Operations

Flasherase™ Sequence

A multiple step command sequence is required to

erase the Flash device (a two-cycle Erase command

and repeated one cycle verify commands).

Note: The Flash memory array must be completely

programmed to 0’s prior to erasure. Refer to the

Flashrite™ Programming Algorithm.

1. Erase Setup: Write the Setup Erase command to

the command register .

2. Erase: Wr it e the Erase com mand (sam e as Setu p

Erase command) to the command register again.

The s ec o nd co mm an d in i ti at es t he er a se o pe r at io n.

The system software routines must now time-out

the erase pulse width (10 ms) prior to issuing the

Erase-verify command. An integrated stop timer

pre vents any possibility of overerasure.

3. Erase-Verify: Write the Erase-verify command to

the command register. This command terminates

the erase operation. After the erase operation,

each byte of the array must be verified. Address in-

formation must be supplied with the Erase-verify

command. This command ver ifies the margin and

outpu ts t he addre ss ed b yte i n o rde r to co mpa re th e

array data with FFh data (Byte erased).

After successful data verification the Erase-verify

command is written again with new address infor-

mation. Each by te of the array is sequentially veri-

fied in this manner.

If data of the addressed location is not verified, the

Erase sequence is repeated until the entire array is

successfully verified or the sequence is repeated

1000 times.

Flashrite Programming Sequence

A three step command sequence (a two-cycle Program

command and one cycle Verify command) is required

to pr ogram a byte o f t h e Fla sh ar r a y. Re fer to the Fl a sh-

rite Algorithm.

1. Program Setup: Write the Setup Program com-

mand to the command re gist er.

2. Program: Write the Program command to the com-

mand register with the appropriate Address and

Data. The system software routines must now time-

out the progra m pulse width (10 µs) prio r to issuing

the Program-verify command. An integrated stop

timer pr events any possibility of overprogramming.

3. Program-Verify: Write the Program-verify com-

man d to th e com ma nd re gis t er. Th is c o mm a nd ter -

minates the programming operation. In addition,

this command verifies the margin and outputs the

byte just programmed in order to compare the array

data with the original data programmed. After suc-

cessful data verification, the programming se-

quence is initiated again f or the next byte address to

be programmed.

If data is not verified successfully, the Program se-

quence is repeated until a successful comparison is

verified or the sequence is repeated 25 times.

Data Protection

The devic e is des igned to offer protecti on aga inst acci-

dental erasure or programming caused by spurious

system lev el signals that may exist during power transi-

ti on s. Th e d evice po w er s up in i ts r ea d o nly st at e . Als o,

with its control register architecture, alteration of the

memory contents only occurs after successful comple-

tion of specif ic command s equences.

The device als o incor porates several feat ures to pre-

v ent in advertent write cycles resulting fromVCC power-

up and power-do wn transitions or system noise.

Low VCC Write Inhibit

To avoid initiation of a write cycle during VCC power-up

and p ower-down, th e device locks out write cycles for

8 Am28F512

VCC < VLKO (see DC Characteristics section for

voltag es ) . Wh en VCC < VLKO, the comm an d r eg is ter is

disabled, all internal program/erase circuits are

dis abled , and th e d evice resets t o th e r ea d m od e. Th e

device ignores all writes until VCC > VLKO. The user

must ensure that the control pins are in the correct logic

st at e when VCC > V LKO to prevent uninitentional writes.

Write Pulse “Glitch” P rotection

No ise p ul se s of less tha n 10 ns (typ i cal) on OE#, CE#

or WE# will not initiate a write cycle.

Logical Inhibit

Writi ng is inhi bited by holding an y one of OE# = VIL, CE#

= VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle C E# and

WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a logical one.

Power-Up Wr ite Inhibi t

Power-up of the device with WE# = CE# = VIL and

OE# = VIH will not accept commands on the rising

edge of WE#. The internal state machine is automat-

ically reset to the read mode on power-up.

2. Manufacturer and device codes may also be accessed via a command register write sequence. Refer to Table 2.

3. 11.5 < VID < 13.0 V. Minimum VID rise time and fall time (between 0 and VID voltages) is 500 ns.

4. Read operation with VPP = VPPH may access array data or the Auto select codes.

5. With VPP at high voltage, the standby current is ICC + IPP (standby).

6. Refer to Table 3 for valid DIN during a write operation.

7. All inputs are Don’t Care unless otherwise stated, where Don’t Care is either VIL or VIH levels. In the Auto select mode all

addresses except A9 and A0 must be held at VIL.

READ ONLY MODE

When VPP is less than VCC + 2 V, the comm and regis ter

is inactive. The de vice can either read array or autose-

lect data, or be standby mode.

cific device sele ction. OE # con trol s the devi ce outpu ts

Address access time tACC is equal to the delay from

sta ble ad dresse s to va li d ou tpu t da ta . Th e c h ip en abl e

access time tCE is the dela y from stab le addresses and

stable CE# to valid data at the output pins. The output

enable access time is the dela y from the f alling edge of

OE# to valid data at the output pins (assuming the ad-

dresses have been stable at least tACC–tOE).

Stand by Mode

The device has two standby modes. The CMOS

standby mode (CE# input held at VCC ± 0.5 V), con-

sumes less t han 100 µA o f curr ent . TTL s tandb y mod e

(CE# is held at VIH) reduc es the current requirements

to les s than 1mA. When in the standby mode the out-

If the device is deselected during erasure, program-

ming, or program/erase verification, the device will

draw active current until the operation is terminated.

Output D is a ble

Output from the device is disabled when OE# is at a

logic high level. When disabled, output pins are in a

high impedance state.

Auto Select

Flash memories can be programmed in-system or in a

standard PROM programmer. The device may be sol-

dered to the circuit board upon receipt of shipment and

programmed in-system. Alternatively, the device may

initially be programmed in a PROM programmer prior

to soldering the device to the board.

The Auto select mode allows the reading out of a binary

code from the device that will identify its manufactu rer

and type. This mode is intended for the purpose

of automatically matching the device to be pro-

grammed with its corresponding programming algo-

rithm. This mode is functional over the entire

temperature range of the device.

Programming In A PROM Prog rammer

To activate this mode, the programming equipment

must force VID (11.5 V to 13 .0 V) on add ress A 9. Two

id enti fie r b ytes ma y th en be seque nce d fr om th e de vi ce

out put s b y tog glin g ad dres s A0 from VIL to VIH. All other

address lines must be held at VIL, and VPP must be

less than or equal to VCC + 2.0 V while using this Auto

select mode. Byte 0 (A0 = VIL) r epr esen ts the m anuf ac -

turer code and byte 1 (A0 = VIH) the device identifier

code. For the de vice these two bytes are given in Table

2 below. All identifiers for manufacturer and device

codes will exhibit odd parity with the MSB (DQ7) de-

fined as the parity bit.

ERASE, PROGRAM, AND READ MODE
When VPP is equal to 12.0 V  ± 5%,  the comman d reg-
ister is active. All functions are available. That is, the
device can program, erase, read array or autoselect
data, or be standby mode.
Write Operations
High voltage must  be applied to the VPP pin in order to
activate the command register. Data written to the reg-
ister serves as input to the internal state machine. The
output of the state machine determines the operational
func t ion of the  device.
The command register does not occup y an address ab le
memor y location. The register is a latch that stores the
command , along with the address and data infor m ation
needed to ex ecute the command. The register is written
by bringing  WE# and  CE# to VIL, while OE# is at VIH.
Addresses are latched on the f alling edge of  WE#,  while
data is latched on the rising edge of the WE# pulse.
Standard microprocessor write timings are used.
The device requires the OE# pin to be VIH f or write op-
erations. This condition eliminates the possibility for
bus contention during programming operations. In
order to write, OE# must be VIH, and CE# and WE#
must be VIL. If any pin is not in the correct state a write
command will not be executed.
Refer to AC Write Characteristics and the E rase/Pro -
gramming Waveforms for specific timing parameters.
Command Definitions 
The contents of the command register default to 00h
(Read Mode) in the absence of high voltage a pplied to
the VPP pin . The  device op era tes as  a rea d only  mem -
ory. High voltage on the VPP p i n enables t he co mma nd
reg i st er. De v ic e  op er a t ion s  ar e s e lec t e d b y  writ i n g s pe-
cific data  codes into the co mmand register. Table 3 de-
fin es the s e re gister com m and s.
Read Command
Mem ory contents can be accessed via the read com-
mand when VPP is high. To read from the device, write
00h into the command register. Standard microproces-
sor read cycles access data from the memory. The de-
vice will remain in the read mode until the command
register contents are altered.
The command register defaults to 00h (read mode)
upon VPP pow er -up . The 00 h (Re ad Mode ) regis ter de-
fault helps ensure that inadvertent alteration of the
memory contents does not occur during  the VPP po w er
transition. Refer to the AC Read Characteristics and
Waveform s  for the spe c ifi c timi n g para m ete rs.

FLASHERASE E RA SE SE QUENCE

Erase Setup

Erase Setup is the first of a two-cycle erase command.

It is a com mand -only o perati on th at stag es the device

for bulk chi p erase. T he array cont ent s are no t altere d

wi th t hi s c o mma nd. 20 h i s w ritt e n t o th e c om ma nd re g-

ister in order to perform the Erase Setup operation.

Erase

The second two-cycle erase command initiates the

bulk erase operation. You must write the Erase com-

mand (20h) again to the register. The erase operation

begins with the rising edge of the WE# pulse. The

erase operation must be terminated by writing a new

command (Erase-v erify) to the register.

Thi s two ste p seq uenc e o f the Set up an d E rase c om-

man ds helps to ensure that memo ry contents are not

ac cide ntally eras ed . A lso, c hip e rasu re c a n on ly o ccu r

whe n hig h vol tag e is appl ied to t he VPP p in an d all c o n-

trol pins are in their proper state. In absence of this high

voltage, memory contents c annot be altered. Refer to

AC Erase Characteristics and Waveforms for specific

timing par amete rs.

Note: The Flash memory device must be fully

programmed to 00h data prior to erasure. This

equalizes the charge on all memory cells ensuring

re liable era sure.

Erase-Verify Command

The erase operation erases all bytes of the array

in pa rall el. A fte r th e e ras e op era ti on , all byte s mu s t b e

sequentially verified. The Erase-v erify operation is initi-

ate d b y w riti n g A0 h t o t he reg is t er. The b y te ad dr es s to

be verified must be supplied with the command. Ad-

dresses are latched on the falling edge of the WE#

pulse or CE# pulse, whichever occurs later. The rising

edge of the WE# pulse terminates the erase operation.

Margin Ver ify

During the Erase-verify operation, the device applies

an internally generated margin voltage to the

addressed byte. Reading FFh from the addressed byte

indicates that all bi ts in the by te are prop erly erased.

Verify Next Addre ss

You must write the Erase-verify command with the ap-

propriate address to the register prior to verification of

each address. Each new address is latched on the fall-

ing edge of WE# or CE# pu lse, whiche ver occurs l ater.

The process continues for each byte in the memor y

array until a byte does not retur n FFh data or all the

bytes in the array are accessed and verified.

If an address is not verified to FFh data, the entire chip

is erased again (refer to Erase Setup/Erase). Erase

verification then resumes at the address that failed to

verify. Erase is complete when all bytes in the array

have been verified. The device is now ready to be pro-

grammed. At this point, the verification operation is ter-

Flasherase Electri cal Erase Algorithm

This Flash memory device erases the entire array in

paral le l . Th e era se ti m e de pe nd s on VPP

, temperature,

and numbe r o f erase /program cycle s on th e device. In

general, reprogramming time increases as the number

of erase/program cycles increases.

The Flasherase electrical erase algorithm employs an

int era ct ive clo sed lo op flow to simul ta ne ou s ly erase all

bits in the array. Erasure begins with a read of the mem-

or y conte nt s. The dev ice i s era sed wh en shipp ed from

the factory. Reading FFh data from the device would

imm ed iat e l y be fol lo w ed b y e xecu tin g t he Fla s hrit e pr o-

gramming algorithm with the appropriate data pattern.

Should the device be currently programmed, data other

than FFh will be returned from address locations.

Follow the Flasherase algorithm. Unifor m and reliable

erasure is ensured by first programming all bits in the

device to their charged state (Data = 00h). This is

accomplished using the Flashrite Programming

algorithm. Erasure then continues w ith an initial erase

operation. Erase verification (Data = FFh) begins at

addr ess 0 00 0h a nd co nti nu es th ro ugh t he a rray to the

last address, or until data other than FFh is

encountered. If a byte fails to verify, the device is

erased again. With each erase operation, an

increasing number of bytes verify to the erased state.

Typically, devices are erased in less than 100 pulses

(one second). Erase efficiency may be improved by

storing the address of the last byte that f ails to verify in

a register. Following the next erase operation,

verifica tion may star t at the store d addre ss loca tion. A

total of 1000 erase pulses are allowed per reprogram

cycle, which corresponds to appro ximately 10 seconds

of cu mul ati v e era se tim e. The e nti re sequ enc e of er ase

and byte verification is performed with high voltage

applied to the VPP pin. Figu re 1 illustr ates the electrical

erase a lgori thm.

Table 4. Flasherase Electrical Erase Algorithm

Notes:

1. See AC and DC Characteristics for values of VPP parameters. The VPP power supply can be hard-wired to the device or

switchable. When VPP is switched, VPPL may be ground, no connect with a resistor tied to ground, or less than VCC + 2.0 V.

2. Erase V erify is performed only after chip erasure. A final read compare may be performed (optional) after the register is written

with the read command.

3. The erase algorithm Must Be Followed to ensure proper and reliable operation of the device.

Erase Setup/Erase

This analysis illustrates the use of two-cycle erase

commands (section A and B). The first erase com-

mand (20h) i s a Setup c ommand and does not affect

the array data (section A). The second erase com-

mand (20h) initiates the erase operation (section B)

on the rising edge of this WE# pulse. All bytes of the

memory arr a y are erased in paral lel . No address inf or-

mation is required.

The erase pulse occurs in section C.

Time-Out

A software timing routine (10 ms duration) must be ini-

ti ate d on the ris ing ed ge of the WE# pu ls e of se ctio n B .

Note: An integrated stop timer prevents any possibil-

ity of overerasure by limiting each time-out period of

10 ms.

Erase-Verify

Up on co mpl etion of the eras e sof tware timing rout ine,

the microprocessor must write the Erase-verify com-

mand (A0 h). Th is co mmand termina tes the er as e ope r-

ation on the rising edge of the WE# pulse (section D).

The Erase-verify command also stages the device for

data verification (section F).

After each erase operation each byte must be verified.

An othe r soft w are ti min g routi ne (6 µs du rati on) m ust be

executed to allow for generation of internal vol tages for

During Erase-v erification (section F) each address that

returns F Fh data is successfully erased. Each address

of the arra y is sequentially verified in this manner by re-

peat ing sections D thru F until the entire array is veri-

fied or an address fails to verify. Should an address

location fail to verify to FFh data, erase the device

again. Repeat sections A thru F. Resume verification

(s ect i on D) wi th the faile d add re s s.

Each data change sequ ence allows the device to use

up to 1,000 erase pulses to completely erase. Typically

100 erase pulses are required.

Note: All address locations must be programmed to

00h prior to erase. This equalizes the charge on all

mem ory cell s an d ensu res reli able era sur e.

FLASHRITE PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE

Program Setup

The device is programmed byte by byte. Bytes may be

programmed sequentially or at random. Program Setup

is the first of a two-cycle program command. It stages

the d evice for byte programming. The Pr ogram Setup

operation is performed by writing 40h to the command

Program

Only after the program Setup operation is completed

will the ne xt WE# pulse initiate the activ e pr ogramming

operation. The appropriate address and data for pro-

gramming must be av ailable on the second WE# pulse.

Addresses and data are internally latched on the falling

and rising edge of the WE# pulse respectively. The ris-

ing edg e o f WE # also be gin s t he p ro gram min g op era-

tion. You must write the Program-verify command to

terminate the programming operation. This two step

se qu en ce o f the Setu p and Pr ogra m c o mm a nds hel p s

to ensure that memory contents are not accidentally

written. Also, programming can only occur when high

v ol tage is applie d to th e VPP pi n an d all con tr ol pi ns a re

in their proper state. In absence of this high voltage,

memory content s cannot be pro grammed.

Ref er to A C Characteristics and Wave f orms f or specific

timing par amete rs.

Program Verify Command

Following each programming operation, the byte just

programm e d must be ver if ie d.

Write C0h into the comman d registe r in order to initiate

the Program-verify operation. The rising edge of this

WE pu lse te rm ina tes the p rogram min g opera tion. Th e

Program-verify operation stages the device for verifica-

tion of the last byte progra mmed. Addresses were pre-

viously latched. No new information is requir ed.

Margin Ver ify

Duri ng t he Pr ogr am- v erify ope rati on, the de vic e ap pli es

an internally generated margin voltage to the ad-

dressed b yte. A normal microprocessor read cycle out-

puts the data. A successful comparison between the

programmed byte and the true data indicates that the

byte was successfully programmed. The original pro-

grammed data should be stored for comparison. Pro-

gramming then proceeds to the next desired byte

loc atio n. S h ou ld the byte fail to veri fy, re pr ogra m ( refer

to Program Setup/Program). Figure 3 and Table 5 indi-

ca te h ow ins tr u ctions a re com bin ed w it h th e bus op er -

ations to perform byte programming. Refer to AC

Programming Characteristics and Wavefor ms for spe-

cific timing parameters.

Flashrite P rog rammin g Algori thm

The device Flashrite Programming algorithm employs

an inte ract ive closed loop flow to program da ta byte by

byte. Bytes ma y be programmed sequentially or at ran-

dom. The Flashrite Programming algorithm uses 10 µs

programming pulses. Each operation is followed by a

byte verification to determine when the addressed byte

has been successfully programmed. The program al-

gorithm allo ws f or up to 25 programming operations per

byte per reprogramming cycle. Most bytes verify after

the first or second pulse. The entire sequence of pro-

gramm ing and byte verification is performed with high

voltag e ap pli e d to th e VPP pin . Figure 3 and Table 5 i l-

lustrate the programming algorithm.

ANALYSIS OF PROGRAM TIMING

WAVEFORMS

Program Setup/Program

Two-cycle write commands are required for program

operations (section A and B). The first program com-

man d (40h ) is a Setup co mmand and does not affect

the array data (section A). The second program com-

man d latches addr ess and data required for program-

ming on the f alling and rising edge of WE# respectively

(section B). The rising edge of this WE# pulse (section

B) also initiates the pro gramming pulse. The devic e is

programmed on a byte by byte basis either sequentially

or randomly.

The program pulse occurs in section C.

Time-Out

A software timing routine (10 µs duration) must be initi-

ated on the rising edge of the WE# pulse of section B.

Note: An integr ated stop timer prev e nts any possibility

of overprogramming by limiting each time-out period of

10 µs.

Program-Verify

Upon completion of the program timing routine, the mi-

croprocessor must write the program-verify command

(C0h). This command terminates the programming op-

eration on the rising edge of the WE# pulse (section D).

The program-verify command also stages the device

During program-verification (section F) each byte just

data ch ange sequ ence al lows the devi ce to use up t o

within one or two pulses.

Algorithm Timing Delays

There are four different timing delays associated with

the Flasherase and Flashrite algorithms:

1. The first delay is associated with the VPP rise-time

when VPP first turns on. The ca pa ci to rs o n th e VPP

bus cau se an RC ram p. Afte r swi tchi n g on the V PP

the del ay req uired is p ropo r tiona l to th e numbe r of

devices being erased and the 0.1 mF/device. VPP

mus t re ach it s fin al valu e 10 0 ns be fore c om m and s

ar e executed.

2. The second dela y time is the erase time pulse width

(10 ms). A software timing routine should be run by

the l ocal m icropr ocessor to ti me out th e delay. Th e

erase operation must be term inated at the conclu-

sion of the ti ming routin e or pr ior to executing any

system interrupts that may occur during the erase

operation. To ens ure proper device oper ation, write

the Erase-verify operation after each pulse.

3. A third delay time is required for each programm ing

pulse width (10 ms). The programming algorithm is

interactive and verifies each byte after a program

pulse. The program operation must be terminated at

the conclusion of the timing routine or prior to exe-

cuting any s ystem interrupts that may occur during

the programming operation.

4. A fourth timing delay associated with both the

Flasherase and Flashrite algorithms is the write re-

covery time (6 ms). During this time internal circuitry

is ch angi ng volt age levels fro m the e ras e/ pr ogram

level to those used for margin verify and read oper-

ati o ns . A n a tt emp t t o r ead t he devi ce du ri ng thi s pe-

rio d will r esult in possible fa lse data (it may app ear

the device is not properly erased or programmed).

Note: Software timing routines should be written in

machine language for each of the delays. Code written

in machine language requires knowledge of the appro-

priate microprocessor clock speed in order to accu-

rately time each delay.

P arallel Device Erasure

Many applications will use more than one Flash

memory device. Total erase time may be mini mized by

implementing a parallel erase algorithm. Flash

memories may erase at different rate s. Therefore e ach

device must be verified separately. When a device is

completely erased and verified use a masking code to

prev ent fu rther er asure . The other de vices will contin ue

to era se until verifi ed. The masking code applied could

be the read command (00h ).

Power-Up/Power- Down Sequen ce

The device powers-up in the Re ad only mode. Power

supply sequencing is not required. Note that if VCC ≤

1.0 Volt, the voltage difference between VPP and VCC

should not exceed 10.0 Volts. Also, the de vice has VPP

rise ti me and f a l l t i me sp ec ifi cat i on of 500 n s mi ni mum.

Reset Command

The Re set comman d initializes the Flash memor y de-

vice to the Read mode. In addition, it also provides the

user with a safe method to abort any device operation

(including program or erase).

The Rese t comm and mu st b e wri tten two co nsecut ive

times after the setup Program command (40h). This will

reset the device to the Read mode.

Following any other Flash command write the Reset

command once to the de vice . This w ill saf el y a bort an y

previous operation and initialize the device to the

Read mode.

The Setup Program command (40h) is the only com-

mand that requires a two sequence reset cycle. The

first Reset command is interpreted as program data.

However, F F h data is c o nsi d er ed nu ll d at a du ring p ro -

gramming operations (memory cells are only pro-

grammed from a logical “1” to “0”). The second Reset

command safely aborts the programming operation

and resets the device to the Read mode.

Memory contents are not altered in any case.

This detailed information is for your reference. It may

prove easier to always issue the Reset command two

consecutive times. This eliminates the need to deter-

mine if you are in the setup Program state or not.

Programming In-System

Flash memories can be programmed in-system or in a

standard PROM programmer. The device may be sol-

dered to the circuit board upon receipt of shipment and

programmed in-system. Alternatively, the device may

initially be programmed in a PROM programmer prior

to soldering the device to the board.

20 Am28F512

Auto Select Command

AMD’ s Flash memories are designed f or use in applica-

tions where the local CPU alters memory contents. Ac-

cordingly, manufacturer and device codes must be

accessible while the device resides in the target sys-

tem. PROM programmers typically access the signa-

ture codes by raising A9 to a high voltage. However,

multiplexing high voltage onto address lines is not a

generally de sired syst e m des ign practice.

The device contains an Auto Select operation to sup-

plement traditional PROM programming methodology.

The operation is initiated by writing 80h or 90h into the

command register. Following this command, a read

cycle address 0000h retrieves the manufacturer code

of 01h. A read cycle from address 0001h returns the

device code. To terminate the operation, it is necessary

to w r ite a no the r valid c o mm an d, such a s Rese t ( FF h) ,

into the register.

AC Characteristics—Write/Erase/Program Operations

Notes:

1. Read timing characteristics during read/write operations are the same as during read-only operations. Refer to AC

Characteristics for Read Only operations.

2. Maximum pulse widths not required because the on-chip program/erase stop timer will terminate the pulse widths internally

on the device.

3. Chip-Enable Controlled Writes: Write operations are driven by the valid combination of Chip-Enable and Write-Enable. In

systems where Chip-Enable defines the Write Pulse Width (within a longer Write-Enable timing wav efo rm) all setup, hold and

inactive Write-Enable times should be measured relative to the Chip-Enable waveform.

4. Not 100% tested.

ERASE AND PROGRAMMING PE RFORMANCE

Notes:

1. 25°C, 12 V VPP

2. Maximum time specified is lower than worst case. Worst case is derived from the Flasherase/Flashrite pulse count

(Flasherase = 1000 max and Flashrite = 25 max). Typical worst case for program and erase is significantly less than the actual

device limit.

DATA SHEET REVISION SUMMARY FOR

AM28F512

Deleted -75, -95, and -250 speed options . Matched f or-

matting to other current data sheets.

Amendment G+1

Removed reference to LCC package in Distinctive

Characteristics. Added A15 to PLCC and PDIP con-

nection diagrams.

Figure 3, Flashrite Programming Algorithm:

Mov e d end

of arrow originating from Increment Address box so

that it points to the PLSCNT = 0 bo x, not the Write Pro-

gram Verify Command box. This is a correction to the

diagram on page 6-189 of the 1998 Flash Memory

Da ta Book.

Revision G+2

Programming In A PROM Programmer:

Deleted the paragraph “(Refer to the AUTO SELECT

paragraph in the ERASE, PROGRAM, and READ

MODE section for programming the Flash memory de-

vice in-system).”
