The MX29F004T/B uses a 5.0V±10% VCC supply
to perform the High Reliability Erase and auto
Program/Erase algorithms.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is
achieved with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process.
Latch-up protection is proved for stresses up to 100
milliamps on address and data pin from -1V to VCC
+ 1V.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29F004T/B is a 4-mega bit Flash memory orga-
nized as 512K bytes of 8 bits. MXIC's Flash memories
offer the most cost-effective and reliable read/write non-
v olatile random access memo ry. The MX29F004T/B is
packaged in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP, PDIP. It is designed
to be reprogrammed and erased in system or in stan-
dard EPROM programmers.
The standard MX29F004T/B offers access time as fast
as 70ns, allowing operation of high-speed microproces-
sors without wait states. To eliminate bus contention,
the MX29F004T/B has separate chip enable (CE) and
output enable (OE) controls.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and pro gramming. The
MX29F004T/B uses a command register to manage this
functionality. The command register allows for 100%
TTL level control inputs and fixed power supply levels

P/N:PM0554 REV. 1.9, OCT. 19, 2004
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING
The MX29F004T/B is byte programmable using the Au-
tomatic Programming algorithm. The Automatic Pro-
gramming algorithm makes the external system do not
need to have time out sequence nor to verify the data
programmed. The typical chip pro gramming time at room
temperature of the MX29F004T/B is less than 4 sec-
onds.
AUTOMATIC CHIP ERASE
The entire chip is bulk erased using 10 ms erase pulses
according to MXIC's Automatic Chip Erase algorithm.
Typical erasure at ro om temperature is acco mplished in
less than 4 second. The Automatic Erase algorithm
automatically programs the entire array prior to electri-
cal erase. The timing and verificatio n of electrical erase
are controlled internally within the device.
AUTOMATIC SECTOR ERASE
The MX29F004T/B is sector(s) erasable using MXIC's
Auto Sector Erase algorithm. Sector erase modes allow
sectors of the array to be erased in one erase cycle.
The Automatic Sector Erase algorithm automatically
programs the specified sector(s) prior to electrical erase.
The timing and verification of electrical erase are con-
trolled internally within the device.
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Programming algorithm requires the
user to only write program set-up commands (including
2 unlock write cycle and A0H) and a program command
(pro g ram data and address). The de vice automatically
times the programming pulse width, provides the pro-
gram verification, and counts the number of sequences.
A status bit similar to D ATA polling and a status bit to g-
gling between consecutive read cycles, provide feed-
back to the user as to the status of the programming
operation.
AUTOMATIC ERASE ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Erase algorithm requires the user to
write commands to the command register using stan-
dard micro processo r write timings. The device will auto-
matically pre-program and verification the entire array.
Then the device automatically times the erase pulse
width, pro vides the er ase verify, and co unts the number
of sequences. A status bit toggling between consecu-
tive read cycles provides feedback to the user as to the
status of the programming operation.
Register contents serve as inputs to an internal state-
machine which controls the erase and programming cir-
cuitry. During write cycles, the co mmand register inter-
nally latches address and data needed for the program-
ming and erase operations. During a system write cycle,
addresses are latched o n the falling edge o f WE or CE,
whichever happens later, and data are latched on the
rising edge o f WE o r CE, whiche v er happens first.
MXIC's Flash technology combines years of EPROM
e xperience to produce the highest lev els of quality, reli-
ability, and cost eff ectiveness . The MX29F004T/B elec-
trically erases all bits simultaneously using Fowler- tun-
neling. The bytes are pro grammed by using the EPROM
programming mechanism of hot electron injection.
During a program cycle, the state-machine will control
the program sequences and command register will not
respond to any command set. During a Sector Erase
cycle, the command register will only respond to Erase
Suspend command. After Erase Suspend is completed,
the device stays in read mode. After the state machine
has completed its task, it will allow the command regis-
ter to respond to its full command set.

P/N:PM0554 REV. 1.9, OCT. 19, 2004
READ/RESET COMMAND
The read or reset operation is initiated by writing the read/
reset command sequence into the command register.
Micro processo r read cycles retrieve arra y data. The de-
vice remains enabled for reads until the command regis-
ter contents are altered.
If program-fail or erase-fail happen, the write of F0H will
reset the device to abort the operation. A valid com-
mand must then be written to place the device in the
desired state.
SILICON-ID-READ COMMAND
Flash memories are intended for use in applications where
the local CPU alters memory contents. As such, manu-
facturer and device codes must be accessible while the
device resides in the target system. PROM program-
mers typically access signature codes by raising A9 to
a high v o ltage. How ev er , multiple xing high voltage o nto
address lines is not generally desired system design prac-
tice.
The MX29F004T/B contains a Silicon-ID-Read operation
to supplement traditional PROM programming method-
ology. The operation is initiated by writing the read sili-
co n ID co mmand sequence into the co mmand register .
Following the command write, a read cycle with
A1=VIL,A0=VIL retrieves the manufacturer code of C2H.
A read cycle with A1=VIL, A0=VIH returns the device
code of 45H/46H for MX29F004T/B.
SET-UP AUTOMATIC CHIP/SECTOR ERASE
Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two
"unlo c k" write cycles. These are f o llo wed by writing the
"set-up" command 80H. Two more "unlock" write cy-
cles are then followed by the chip erase command 10H.
The Automatic Chip Erase does not require the device
to be entirely pre-programmed prior to executing the Au-
tomatic Chip Erase. Upon executing the Automatic Chip
Erase, the device will automatically program and verify
the entire memory fo r an all-zero data pattern. When the
device is automatically verified to contain an all-zero
pattern, a self-timed chip erase and verify begin. The
erase and verify operations are completed when the data
on Q7 is "1" at which time the device returns to the
Read mode. The system is not required to provide any
control or timing during these operations.
When using the Automatic Chip Erase algorithm, note
that the erase automatically terminates when adequate
erase margin has been achieved for the memory array
(no erase verification command is required).
If the Erase operation was unsuccessful, the data on
Q5 is "1" (see Table 4), indicating the erase operation
exceed internal timing limit.
The automatic erase begins on the rising edge of the
last WE or CE, whichever happens first pulse in the
command sequence and terminates when the data on
Q7 is "1" and the data on Q6 stops toggling for two con-
secutive read cycles, at which time the device returns
to the Read mode.

SECTOR ERASE COMMANDS
The Automatic Sector Erase does not require the de-
vice to be entirely pre-programmed prior to executing
the Automatic Set-up Sector Erase command and Auto-
matic Sector Erase command. Upon executing the Au-
tomatic Sector Erase command, the device will auto-
matically program and verify the sector(s) memory for
an all-zero data pattern. The system is no t required to
provide any control or timing during these operations.
When the sector(s) is automatically verified to contain
an all-zero pattern, a self-timed sector erase and verify
begin. The erase and verify operations are complete
when the data on Q7 is "1" and the data on Q6 stops
toggling for two consecutive read cycles, at which time
the device returns to the Read mode. The system is no t
required to provide any control or timing during these
operations.
When using the Automatic Sector Erase algorithm, note
that the erase automatically terminates when adequate
erase margin has been achieved for the memory array
(no erase verification command is required). Sector erase
is a six-bus cycle operation. There are two "unlock"
write cycles. These are followed by writing the set-up
co mmand 80H. Two mo re "unlock" write cycles are then
fo llowed by the secto r erase co mmand 30H. The sector
address is latched on the falling edge of WE or CE,
whichever happens later, while the command (data) is
latched o n the rising edge of WE or CE, whichever hap-
pens first. Sector addresses selected are loaded into
internal register on the sixth falling edge of WE or CE,
whichever happens later. Each successive sector load
cycle star ted by the falling edge of WE or CE, which-
ever happens later must begin within 30us fro m the ris-
ing edge of the preceding WE or CE, whichever hap-
pens first. Otherwise, the lo ading perio d ends and inter-
nal auto secto r erase cycle starts. (Mo nito r Q3 to deter-
mine if the sector erase timer window is still open, see
section Q3, Sector Erase Timer.) Any command other
than Secto r Erase(30H) o r Erase Suspend(B0H) during
the time-o ut perio d resets the device to read mo de.

P/N:PM0554 REV. 1.9, OCT. 19, 2004
ERASE SUSPEND
This command only has meaning while the state ma-
chine is executing Automatic Sector Erase operation,
and therefore will only be responded during Automatic
Secto r Erase o peratio n. When the Erase Suspend co m-
mand is written during a sector erase operation, the de-
vice requires a maximum of 100us to suspend the erase
operations. However, when the Erase Suspend co mmand
is written during the sector erase time-out, the device
immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends
the erase operation. After this command has been ex-
ecuted, the command register will initiate erase suspend
mo de. The state machine will return to read mode auto-
matically after suspend is ready. At this time, state ma-
chine only allows the command register to respond to
the Read Memor y Array, Erase Resume and program
commands.
The system can determine the status of the program
operation using the Q7 or Q6 status bits, just as in the
standard program operation. After an erase-suspend pro-
gram operation is complete, the system can once again
read array data within non-suspended sectors.
ERASE RESUME
This command will cause the command register to clear
the suspend state and return back to Sector Erase mode
but only if an Erase Suspend command was previously
issued. Erase Resume will not have any effect in all
other conditions. Another Erase Suspend command can
be written after the chip has resumed erasing.
SET-UP AUTOMATIC PROGRAM COMMANDS
To initiate Auto matic Program mode, A three-cycle co m-
mand sequence is required. There are two "unlo ck" write
cycles. These are fo llowed by writing the Auto matic Pro-
gram command A0H.
Once the Automatic Program command is initiated, the
next WE or CE pulse causes a transition to an active
programming operation. Addresses are latched on the
falling edge, and data are internally latched on the
rising edge of the WE or CE, whichever happens first
pulse. The rising edge of WE or CE, whichever hap-
pens first also begins the programming operatio n. The
system is no t required to pro vide further contro ls o r tim-
ings. The device will auto matically pro vide an adequate
internally generated pro gram pulse and verify margin.
If the program operation was unsuccessful, the data on
Q5 is "1"(see Tab le 4), indicating the pro gram operatio n
exceed internal timing limit. The auto matic pro gramming
operation is completed when the data read on Q6 stops
toggling for two consecutive read cycles and the data on
Q7 and Q6 are equivalent to data written to these two
bits, at which time the device returns to the Read mode
(no program verify command is required).
DATA POLLING-Q7
The MX29F004T/B also features Data Polling as a
method to indicate to the host system that the Auto-
matic Program or Erase algorithms are either in progress
or completed.
While the Automatic Programming algorithm is in opera-
tion, an attempt to read the device will produce the comple-
ment data of the data last written to Q7. Upon comple-
tion of the Automatic Program Algorithm an attempt to
read the device will produce the true data last written to
Q7. The Data P olling feature is valid after the rising edge
o f the fo urth WE o r CE, whichever happens first pulse of
the fo ur write pulse sequences fo r automatic program.
While the Automatic Erase algorithm is in operation, Q7
will read "0" until the erase operation is competed. Upon
completion of the erase operation, the data on Q7 will
read "1". The Data P o lling feature is valid after the rising
edge of the sixth WE or CE, whichever happens first
pulse of six write pulse sequences for automatic chip/
sector erase.
The Data P o lling f eature is active during Auto matic Pro-
gram/Erase algorithm or sector erase time-out. (see sec-
tion Q3 Secto r Erase Timer)

MX29F004T/B
P/N:PM0554 REV. 1.9, OCT. 19, 2004
Q2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within
those sectors that have been selected for erasure. (The
system may use either OE or CE to control the read
cycles.) But Q2 cannot distinguish whether the sector
is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. Q6, by com-
parison, indicates whether the device is actively eras-
ing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish which
sectors are selected for erasure. Thus , both status bits
are required for sectors and mode information. Refer to
Table 4 to compare outputs for Q2 and Q6.
Reading To ggle Bits Q6/ Q2
Whenever the system initially begins reading toggle bit
status, it must read Q7-Q0 at least twice in a row to
determine whether a toggle bit is to ggling. T ypically, the
system would note and store the value of the toggle bit
after the first read. After the second read, the system
would compare the new value of the toggle bit with the
first. If the toggle bit is not toggling, the device has
co mpleted the pro gram o r erase o peratio n. The system
can read array data on Q7-Q0 on the following read cycle.
How ever, if after the initial two read cycles, the system
determines that the toggle bit is still toggling, the sys-
tem also should note whether the value of Q5 is high
(see the section on Q5). If it is, the system should then
determine again whether the toggle bit is toggling, since
the toggle bit may have stopped toggling just as Q5 went
high. If the toggle bit is no longer toggling, the device
has successfully completed the program or erase op-
eration. If it is still toggling, the device did not complete
the operation successfully, and the system must wr ite
the reset command to return to reading array data.
The remaining scenario is that system initially determines
that the toggle bit is toggling and Q5 has not gone high.
The system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and
Q5 through successive read cycles, determining the sta-
tus as described in the previous paragraph. Alterna-
tively, it may choose to perfor m other system tasks. In
this case, the system m ust start at the beginning o f the
algorithm when it returns to determine the status of the
operation.
Q6:Toggle BIT I
To ggle Bit I on Q6 indicates whether an Automatic Pro-
gram or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete, or
whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend mode.
Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid
after the rising edge of the final WE or CE, whichever
happens first pulse in the command sequence (prior to
the program or erase operation), and during the sector
time-out.
During an Automatic Program or Erase algorithm opera-
tion, successive read cycles to any address cause Q6
to toggle. The system may use either OE o r CE to con-
tro l the read cycles. When the o peratio n is co mplete, Q6
stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence is written, if the chip
has been protected, Q6 toggles and returns to reading
array data.
The system can use Q6 and Q2 together to determine
whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase sus-
pended. When the device is actively erasing (that is, the
Automatic Erase algorithm is in progress), Q6 toggling.
When the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Q6
stops toggling. However, the system must also use Q2
to determine which sectors are erasing or erase-sus-
pended. Alternatively, the system can use Q7.
If a program address falls within a protected secto r, Q6
toggles for approximately 2us after the program com-
mand sequence is written, then returns to reading array
data.
Q6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program mode,
and stops toggling once the Automatic Program algo-
rithm is complete.
Table 4 sho ws the outputs for Toggle Bit I on Q6.
Q2:Toggle Bit II
The "To ggle Bit II" o n Q2, when used with Q6, indicates
whether a par ticular sector is actively erasing (that is,
the Automatic Erase algorithm is in process), or whether
that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit I is valid af-
ter the rising edge of the final WE or CE, whichever
happens first pulse in the command sequence.

Q5
Exceeded Timing Limits
Q5 will indicate if the program or erase time has ex-
ceeded the specified limits (internal pulse count). Under
these conditions Q5 will produce a "1". This time-out
condition indicates that the program or erase cycle was
no t successfully completed. Data P olling and To ggle Bit
are the only operating functions of the device under this
condition.
If this time-out condition occurs during sector erase op-
eration, it specifies that a particular secto r is bad and it
may no t be reused. However , other secto rs are still func-
tional and may be used for the program or erase opera-
tion. The device must be reset to use other sectors.
Write the Reset command sequence to the device, and
then execute pro gram or erase command sequence. This
allows the system to continue to use the other active
sectors in the device.
If this time-out condition occurs during the chip erase
operation, it specifies that the entire chip is bad or com-
bination of sectors are bad.
If this time-out condition occurs during the byte program-
ming operation, it specifies that the entire sector con-
taining that byte is bad and this sector may not be re-
used, (other sectors are still functional and can be re-
used).
The time-out condition may also appear if a user tries to
program a non blank location without erasing. In this
case the device locks out and never completes the Au-
tomatic Algorithm operation. Hence, the system never
reads a valid data on Q7 bit and Q6 never stops tog-
gling. Once the Device has exceeded timing limits, the
Q5 bit will indicate a "1". Please note that this is not a
device failure condition since the device was incorrectly
used.
DATA PROTECTION
The MX29F004T/B is designed to offer protection against
accidental erasure or programming caused by spurious
system level signals that may exist during power transi-
tion. During power up the device automatically resets
the state machine in the Read mode. In addition, with
its control register architecture, alteration of the memory
contents only occurs after successful completion of
specific co mmand sequences. The de vice also incorpo-
rates several features to prevent inadvertent write cycles
resulting fro m VCC power-up and power-down transitio n
or system noise.
Q3
Sector Erase Timer
After the completion of the initial sector erase command
sequence, the sector erase time-out will begin. Q3 will
remain low until the time-out is complete. Data Polling
and T o ggle Bit are valid after the initial secto r erase co m-
mand sequence.
If Data P o lling o r the Toggle Bit indicates the device has
been written with a valid erase command, Q3 may be
used to determine if the sector erase timer window is
still open. If Q3 is high ("1") the internally controlled
erase cycle has begun; attempts to write subsequent
commands to the device will be ignored until the erase
operation is completed as indicated by Data Polling or
To ggle Bit. If Q3 is low ("0"), the de vice will accept addi-
tional secto r erase co mmands . To insure the co mmand
has been accepted, the system software should check
the status of Q3 prior to and following each subsequent
sector erase command. If Q3 were high on the second
status check, the command may not have been accepted.
WRITE PULSE "GLITCH" PROTECTION
Noise pulses of less than 5ns(typical) on CE or WE will
not initiate a write cycle.
LOGICAL INHIBIT
Writing is inhibited by ho lding any o ne of OE = VIL, CE =
VIH o r WE = VIH. To initiate a write cycle CE and WE
must be a logical zero while OE is a logical one.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
In order to reduce power switching effect, each device
should have a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor connected be-
tween its VCC and GND .

CHIP PROTECTION WITH 12V SYSTEM
The MX29F004T/B features chip protection, which will
disable both pro gram and erase o peratio ns . To activate
this mo d e, the programming equipment m ust force VID
on address pin A9 and contro l pin OE, (suggest VID=12V)
A6=VIL and CE=VIL.(see Table 2) Pro g ramming o f the
pro tectio n circuitry begins o n the falling edge o f the WE
o r CE, whichever happens later pulse and is terminated
on the rising edge. Please refer to chip protect algo-
rithm and waveform.
To verify programming o f the protectio n circuitry , the pro-
gramming equipment must f o rce VID o n address pin A9
( with CE and OE at VIL and WE at VIH). When A1=1, it
will produce a logical "1" code at device output Q0 for
the protected status. Otherwise the device will produce
00H for the unprotected status. In this mode, the ad-
dresses, except for A1, are don't care. Address loca-
tions with A1 = VIL are reserved to read manufacturer
and device codes. (Read Silicon ID)
It is also possible to determine if chip is protected in the
system by writing a Read Silicon ID command. Per-
forming a read operation with A1=VIH, it will produce a
logical "1" at Q0 for the protected status.
CHIP UNPROTECT WITH 12V SYSTEM
The MX29F004T/B also features the chip unprotect mode,
so that all sectors are unprotected after chip unprotect
is completed to incorporate any changes in the code.
To activate this mo de, the pro gramming equipment must
fo rce VID o n co ntrol pin OE and address pin A9. The CE
pins must be set at VIL. Pins A6 must be set to VIH.
(see Table 2) Refer to chip unprotect algorithm and
waveform for the chip unprotect algorithm. The
unprotection mechanism begins on the falling edge of
the WE or CE, whichever happens later pulse and is
terminated on the rising edge.
It is also possible to determine if the chip is unprotected
in the system by writing the Read Silicon ID command.
P erfo rming a read operation with A1=VIH, it will pro duce
00H at data o utputs(Q0-Q7) fo r an unprotected sector . It
is noted that all sectors are unprotected after the chip
unprotect algorithm is completed.
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
The MX29F004T/B powers up in the Read only mode. In
addition, the memory contents may only be altered after
successful completion of the predefined command se-
quences.
CHIP PROTECTION WITHOUT 12V SYSTEM
The MX29F004T/B also feature a chip protection method
in a system witho ut 12V power supply. The programming
equipment do not need to supply 12 volts to protect all
sectors. The details are shown in chip protect algorithm
and waveform.
CHIP UNPROTECT WITHOUT 12V SYSTEM
The MX29F004T/B also feature a chip unprotection
metho d in a system without 12V power supply. The pro-
gramming equipment do not need to supply 12 volts to
unprotect all sectors. The details are shown in chip
unprotect algorithm and waveform.
