SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

The M29W160E is a 16 Mbit (2Mb x8 or 1Mb x16)

non-volatile memory that can be read, erased and

reprogrammed. These operations can be per-

formed using a single low voltage (2.7 to 3.6V)

supply. On power-up the memory defaults to its

Read mode where it can be read in the same way

as a ROM or EPROM.

The memory is divided into blocks that can be

erased independently so it is pos sible to preserv e

valid data while old dat a is erased. Each block can

be protected independently to prevent accidental

Program or Erase commands from modifying the

memory. P rogram and Eras e com m ands are wri t-

ten to the Com mand Interface of t he memory. An

on-chip Program/Erase Controller simplifies the

process of programming or erasing the memory by

taking care of al l of the special operations that are

required to update the memory contents.

The end of a program or erase operation can be

detected and any error conditions identified. The

command set required to control the memory is

consistent with JEDEC standards.

The blocks in the memory are asymmetrically ar-

ranged, see Figures 5 and 6, Block Addresses.

The first or last 64 KBy tes have been divided into

four additional blocks. The 16 KByte Boot Block

can be used for small initialization code to start the

microprocessor, the two 8 KByte Parameter

Blocks can be us ed for parameter st orage and the

remaining 32K is a small Main Block where the ap-

plication may be stored.

Chip Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable sig-

nals control the bus operation of the memory.

They allow simple connection to most micropro-

cessors, often without additional logic .

The memory is offered TSOP48 (12 x 20mm) and

TFBGA48 (0.8mm pitch) packages. The memory

is supplied with all the bits erased (set to ’1’).

SIGNA L DESCRIPTIONS

See Figure 2, Logic Diag ram, and T able 1, Sign al

Names, for a brief overview of the s ignals connect -

ed to this device.

Address Inputs (A0-A19). The Address Inputs

select the cell s in the memory arra y to access dur-

ing Bus Read operations. During Bus Writ e opera-

tions they control the commands sent to the

Command Interface of the Program/Erase Con-

troller.

Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7). The Data In-

puts/Outputs output the data stored at the selected

address during a Bus Read operation. During Bus

Write operations they represent the commands

sent to the Command Interface of the Program/

Erase Controller.

Data Inputs/Output s (DQ8-DQ14). The Data In-

puts/Outputs output the data stored at the selected

address during a Bus Read operati on when BYTE

is High, VIH. When BYTE is Low, VIL, these pins

are not used and are high impedance. During Bus

Write operations the Command Register does not

use these bit s. When reading t he Status Register

these bits should be ignored.

Data Input/Output or Address Input (DQ15A-1).

When BYTE is High, VIH, this pin behaves as a

Data Input/Output pin (as DQ8-DQ14). When

BYTE is Low, VIL, this pin behav es as an address

pin; DQ15A–1 Low wil l select t he LSB of the Word

on the other addresses, DQ15A–1 High will select

the MSB. Throughout the t ext consider references

to the Data Input/Output to include this pin when

BYTE is High and references to the Address In-

puts to inclu de this pin when B YTE is Low e xcept

when stated explicitly otherwise.

Chip Enable (E). The Chip Enable, E, activates

the memor y, allowing Bus Read and Bus Wr ite op-

erations to be performed. When Chip Enable is

High, VIH, all other pins are ignored.

Output Enable (G). The Output Enable, G, con-

trols th e Bus Read operation of the memory.

Write Enable (W). The Write Enable, W, controls

the Bus Write operation of the memory’s Com-

ma nd Inte r face .

Reset/Block Temporary Unpro tect (RP). The

Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect pin can be

used to apply a Hardwar e Reset to the memory or

to temporarily u nprotect al l Block s that have been

protected.

A Hardware Reset is achieved by holding Reset/

Block Temporary Unprotect Low, VIL, for at least

tPLPX. After Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect

goes High, V IH, the memory will be ready for Bus

Read and Bus Write operations after tPHEL or

tRHEL, whichever occurs last. See the Ready/ Busy

Output section, Table 15 and Figure 14, Reset/

Temporary Unprot ect AC Characte ristics for more

details.

Holding RP at VID will temporarily unprotect the

protected Blocks in the memory. Program and

Erase operations on all blocks will be possible.

The transition from VIH to VID must be slower than

tPHPHH.

Ready/Busy Output (RB). The Ready/Busy pin

is an open-drain output that can be used to identify

when the device is performing a Program or Erase

operation. During Program or Erase operations

Ready/Busy is Low, V OL. Ready/Busy is high-im-

pedance during Read mode, Auto Select mode

and Erase Suspend m ode.

After a Hardware Reset, Bus Read and Bus Write

operations cannot begin until Ready/Busy be-

comes h igh-impeda nc e. See Tabl e 15 and Figure

14, Reset/Temporary Unprotect AC Characteris-

tics.

The use of an open-drain out put allows the Ready/

Busy pins from several memor ies to be connected

to a single pull-up resistor. A Low will then indicate

that one, or m ore, of the memories is busy.

Byte/Word Organization Select (BYTE). The

Byte/Word Organization Select pin is used to

switch bet ween t he 8-bit and 16-bit Bus m odes of

the memory. When Byte/Word Organization Se-

lect is Low, VIL, the memory is in 8-bit mode, when

it is High , V IH, th e me mory is in 16 - bit mo de .

VCC Supply Voltage. The VCC Supply Voltage

supplies the power for all operations (Read, Pro-

gram, Erase etc.).

The Command Interface is dis abled when the VCC

Supply Voltage is less than the Lockout Voltage,

VLKO. This prevent s Bus Write operations from ac-

cidentally damaging the data during power up,

power down and power surges. If the Program/

Erase Controller is programming or erasing during

this time then the operation aborts and the memo-

ry contents being alt ered will be invalid.

A 0.1µF capacitor should be connected between

the V CC Supply Voltage pin and the VSS Ground

pin to decoupl e the current surges from the power

supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to

carry the currents required during program and

erase operat ions, ICC3.

VSS Ground. The VSS Ground is the referenc e for

all v olt age measurements. The two VSS pins of the

device must be connected to the sy stem ground.

BUS OPERATIONS

There are five standard bus operations that control

the device. These are Bus Read, Bus Wri te, Out-

put Disable, Standby and Automatic Standby. See

Tables 2 and 3, Bus Operations, for a summary.

Typically glitches of less than 5ns on Chi p Enable

or Write Enable are ignored by the memory and do

not affec t bus operations.

Bus Read. Bus Read operations read from the

memory cells, or specific registers in the Com-

mand Interface. A valid Bus Read operation in-

volves setting the desi red address on the Address

Inputs, appl ying a Low s ig nal, VIL, to C hip Enable

and Output Enable and keeping Write Enable

High, VIH. The Data Input s/Ou tputs will outp ut the

value, see Figure 11, Read Mode AC Waveforms,

and Table 12, Read AC Characteristics, for details

of when the output becomes valid.

Bus Write. Bus Write operations write to the

Command Interface. A valid Bus Write operation

begins by setting the desire d address on the Ad-

dress Inputs. The Address Inputs are latched by

the Command Interface on the falling edge of Chip

Enable or Write Enable, whichever occurs last.

The Dat a Input s/Outpu ts a re latched by the Com -

mand Interface on the rising edge of Chip Enab le

or Write Enable, whichever occurs first. Output En-

able must remai n High, VIH, du ring the whole Bus

Write operat ion. See Figures 12 and 13, Write AC

Waveforms, and Tables 13 and 14, Write AC

Characteristics, for details of the timing require-

ments.

Outp ut Disable . The Data Inputs/Outputs are in

the high impedance state when Output Enable is

High, VIH.

Standby. When Chip Enable is High, VIH, the

memory enters Standby mode and the Data In-

puts/Outputs pins are placed in the high-imped-

ance state. To reduce the Supply Current to the

Standby Supply Current, ICC2, Chip Enable should

be held within VCC ± 0.2V. For t he Standby current

level see Table 11, DC Characteristics.

During program or erase operations the memory

will continue to use the Program/Erase Supply

Current, ICC3, for Program or Erase operations un-

til the operat ion com pletes .

Automatic Standby. If CMOS levels (VCC ± 0.2V)

are used to drive the bus and the bus is inactive for

150ns or more the memory enters Automatic

Standby where the internal Supply Current is re-

duced to the Standby Supply Current, ICC2. The

Data Inputs/Outputs will still output data if a Bus

Read operation is in progress.

Special Bus Operati ons. Additional bus opera-

tions can be pe rformed to read the Electronic Sig-

nature and also to apply and remove Block

Protection. These bus operations are intended for

use by programming eq uipment and are not usu-

ally used in applications. They require VID to be

applied to some pins.

Electronic Sign atur e. The memory has two

codes, the manufacturer code and the device

code, that can be read to identify the memory.

These co des can be re ad by app lying the signals

listed in T able s 2 and 3, Bus Operations.

Block Protection and Blocks Unprotection.

Each block can be separately protected against

accidental Program or Erase. Protected blocks

can be unprotected to allow data to be changed.

There are two methods available for protecting

and unprotecting the blocks, one for use on pro-

gramming equipment and the other for in-system

use. Block Protect and Blocks Unprotect opera-

tions are described in Appendix C.

COMMAND INTERFACE

All Bus Write operations t o the memory are in ter-

preted by the Command Interface. Commands

consist of one or more sequential Bus Write oper-

ations. Failure to observe a vali d sequence of Bus

Write operations will result in the memory return-

ing to Read mode. The long command sequences

are imposed to maximize data security.

The address used for the commands changes de-

pending on whether the mem ory is in 16-bit or 8-

bit mode. See e ither Table 4, or 5, depending on

the configuration that is being used, for a summary

of the com m ands .

Read/Reset Comm and. The Read/Reset com-

mand returns the memory to its Read mode where

it behaves like a ROM or EPROM, unless other-

wise s tated. It also resets t he errors in the S tatus

can be used to is sue the Read/Reset command.

The Read/Reset Command can be issued, be-

tween Bus Write cycles before the start of a pro-

gram or erase operation, to return the device to

read mode. Once the program or eras e o perati on

has started the Read/Res et comm and is no longer

accepted. The Read/Reset command will not

abort an Erase operation when issued while in

Erase Suspend.

Auto Select Command. The Auto Select com-

mand i s us ed to read the Man ufacturer Code, the

Device Code and the Block Protection Status.

Three consecutive Bus Write operations are re-

quired to issue the Auto Select command. Once

the Auto Select command is issued the memory

remains in Auto Select mode until a Read/Reset

command is issued. Read CFI Query and Read/

Reset commands are accepted in Auto Select

mode, all other commands are ignored .

From the Auto Select mode the Manufacturer

Code can be read using a Bus Read operation

with A 0 = VIL and A1 = VIL. The other address bits

may be set to eith er VIL or VIH. The Ma nufa cturer

Code for STMicroelectronics is 0020h.

The Device Code can b e read using a Bus Read

operation with A0 = VIH and A1 = VIL. The other

address bits may be set to either V IL or VIH. The

Device Code for the M29W160ET is 22C4h and

for th e M 29W160EB is 2249h.

Th e Block P rotect ion St atus of each bloc k can be

read using a Bus Read operation with A0 = VIL,

A1 = VIH, and A12 -A 1 9 s p ecifyi ng th e addr ess of

th e block. The other address bits may be set to ei-

ther VIL or VIH. If th e addr ess ed bloc k is p rot ecte d

then 01h is output on Data Inputs/Outputs DQ0-

DQ7, otherwise 00h is output.

Progra m Command . The Program command

can be used to program a value to one address in

the memory array at a time. The command re-

quires four Bus Write operations, the final write op-

eration latches the address and data, and starts

the Program/ Erase Controll er.

If the address falls in a protected block then the

Program command is ignored, the data remains

unchanged. The Status Register is never read and

no error condition is given.

During the program operation the me mory will ig-

nore all co mmands. I t is not poss ible t o issue any

command to abort or pause the operation. Typical

program times are given in T able 6. Bus Read op-

erations during the program operation will output

the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs.

See the section on the Status Register for more

details.

error has occurred. When an error occurs the

memory will continue to output the Status Regis-

ter. A Read/Reset command must be i ssued to re-

set th e error condition and return to Read mode.

Note that t he Program command cannot change a

bit set at ’0’ back to ’1’. One of the Erase Com-

mands must be used to set all the bits in a block or

in the whole memory from ’0’ to ’1’.

Unlock Bypass Comman d. The Unlock Bypass

command is used in conjunction with the Unlock

Bypass Program c ommand to program the memo-

ry. When the access time to the device is long (as

with some EPROM programmers) considerable

time saving can be made by using these com-

mands. Three Bus Write operations are required

to issue the Unlock Bypass comm and.

Once the Unlock Bypass command has been is-

sued the memory will only accept the Unlock By-

pass Program command and the Unlock Bypass

Reset command. The memory can be read as if in

Read mode.

Unlock Bypass Prog ram Comm an d. The Un-

lock Bypass Program command can be used to

program one address in memory at a time. The

command requires two Bus Write operations, the

final write operation latches the address and data,

and starts the Program/Erase Controller.

The Program operation using the Unlock Bypass

Program c ommand behaves identically to the Pro-

gram operation using the Program command. A

protected block cannot be program m ed; the oper-

ation cannot be aborted and the Status Register is

read. Errors must be reset using the Read/Reset

command, w hich l eaves the de vice in Unlo ck By-

pass Mode. See the Program command for details

on the behavior.

Unlock Bypass Reset Comman d. The Unlock

Bypass Re se t command can be used to ret urn to

Read/Reset mode from Unlock Bypass Mode.

Two Bus Write operations are required to issue the

Unlock Bypass Reset command. Read/Reset

command does not exit from Unlock Bypass

Mode.

Chip Erase Command. The Chip Erase com-

mand can be used to erase the entire chip. Six Bus

Write operations are required to issue the Chip

Erase Command and start the Program/Erase

Controller.

If any blocks are protected th en these are ig nored

and all the other blocks are erased. If all of the

blocks a re p rote cted the Chip Erase op erat i on ap-

pears to start but will terminate within about 100µs,

leaving the data unchange d. No error co ndition is

given when protected blocks are ignored.

During the erase operation the memory wi ll ignore

all commands. It is not poss ible to issue any com-

mand to abort the operation. Typical chip erase

times are given in Table 6. All Bus Read opera-

tions during the Chip Erase operation will output

the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs.

See the section on the Status Register for more

details.

After the Chip Erase opera tion has com pleted the

memory will return to the Read Mode, unless an

error has occurred. When an error occurs the

memory will continue to output the Status Regis-

ter. A Read/Reset command must be i ssued to re-

set th e error condition and return to Read Mode.

The Chip Erase Command sets all of the bits in un-

protected blocks of the memory to ’1’. All previous

data is lost.

Block Erase Command. The Block Erase com-

mand can be used to erase a list of one or more

blocks. Six Bus Write operations are required to

select the first block in the list. Each additional

block in the list can be selected by repeating the

sixth Bus Wr ite operation using the addres s of the

additional block. The Bl ock Erase operation st arts

the Program/Erase Controller about 50µs after the

last Bus Write operation. Once the Program/Erase

Controller starts it is not possible to select any

more blocks. Each additional block must therefore

be selected within 50µs of the last block. The 50µs

timer r estarts when an additional block is select ed.

The Status Register can be read after the sixth

Bus Write operati on. See the Stat us Register sec-

tion for details on how to identify if the Program/

Erase Controller has started the Block Erase oper-

ation.

If any selected blocks are protected then these are

ignored and all the other selected blocks are

erased. If all of the selected blocks are protected

the Block Erase operation appears to s tart but will

terminate within about 100µs, l eaving the data un-

changed. No error condition is given when protect-

ed blocks are igno red.

During the Blo ck Erase ope ra tion the me mory will

ignore all commands except the Erase Suspend

and Read/Reset commands. Typical block erase

times are given in Table 6. All Bus Read opera-

tions du ri ng the B lock Erase o peration will ou tput

the Status Register on the Data Inputs/Outputs.

See the section on the Status Register for more

details.

After the Block Erase operation has completed the

memory will return to the Read Mode, unless an

error has occurred. When an error occurs the

memory will continue to output the Status Regis-

ter. A Read/Reset command must be i ssued to re-

set the error condition and return to Read mode.

The Block Erase Command sets all of the bits in

the unprotected selec ted blocks to ’1’. All previous

data in the selected blocks is lost.

M29W160ET, M29W160EB

14/40

Erase Suspend Comm and. The Erase Suspend

Comman d may be used to temporarily suspend a

Block Erase operation and return the memory to

Read mode. The command requires one Bus

Write operation.

The Prog ram/Eras e Controlle r will sus pend within

the Erase Suspend Latency Time (refer t o Table 6

for value) of the Erase Suspend Com mand being

issued. Once the Program/Erase Controller has

stopped the memory will be set t o Read mode and

the Erase will be suspended. If the Erase Suspend

command is issued during the period when the

memory is waiting for an additional block (before

the Program/Erase Controller starts) then the

Erase is susp ended i mmedi ately and wi ll start im-

mediately when the Erase Resume Command is

issued. It is not possible to select any further

blocks to erase after the Erase Resume.

During Erase Suspend it is possible to Read and

Program cells in blocks that are not being erased;

both Read and Program operations behave as

normal on these blocks. If any attempt is made to

program in a protec ted bl ock or in the suspended

block then the Program command is ignored and

the data remains unchanged. The Status Register

is not read and no error condi tio n is given. Read-

ing from blocks that are being erased will output

the Status Register.

It is also possible to issue the Auto Select, Read

CFI Query and Unlock Bypass commands during

an Erase Suspend. The Read/Reset command

must be i ssued to return the device to Read Array

mode before the Resume command will be ac-

cepted.

Erase Resum e Command. The Erase Resume

command must be used to restart the Program/

Erase Controller from Erase Suspend. An erase

can be suspended and res umed more than once.

Read CFI Query Comman d . The Read CFI

Query Command is used to read data from the

Common Flash Interface (CFI) Memory Area. This

command is valid when the device i s in the Read

Array mode, or when the device is i n Autoselected

mode.

One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Read

CFI Query Command. Once the command is is-

sued subsequen t Bus Read ope ratio ns read from

the Common Flash Interface Memory Area .

The Read/Reset command must be issued to re-

turn the device to the previous mode (the Read Ar-

ray mode or Autoselected mode). A second Read/

Reset command would be needed if the device is

to be put in the Read Array mode from Aut oselect-

ed mode.

See Appendix B, Tables 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26

for details on the information contained in the

Common Flash Interface (CFI) memory area.

STATUS REGISTER

Bus Read operations from any address always

read the Status Register during Program and

Erase operations. It is also read during Erase Sus-

pend when an address within a block being erased

is acce ssed .

The bits in the Status Register are s um marized in

Table 7, Status Register Bits.

Data Polling Bit (DQ7). The Data Polling Bit can

be used to identify whether the Program/Erase

Controller has successfully completed its opera-

tion or if it has responded to an Erase Suspend.

The Data Polling Bit is output on DQ7 when the

Status Register is re ad.

During Program operations the Data Polling Bit

outputs the complement of the bit being pro-

grammed to DQ7. After successful completion of

the Program operation the memory returns to

Read mode and Bus Read oper ations from t he ad-

dress just programmed output DQ7, not its com-

plement.

During Erase ope rations the Data Po lling Bit out-

puts ’0’, the complement of the erased state of

DQ7. Aft er s uc cessful completion of the Erase op-

eration the memory returns to R ead Mod e.

In Erase Suspend mode the Data Polling Bit will

output a ’1’ during a Bus Read operation within a

block being erased. The Data Polling Bit will

change f rom a ’0’ to a ’1’ when the Program/Erase

Controller has sus pe nded the Erase operat ion.

Figure 7, Data Polling Flowcha rt, gives an exam-

ple of how to use the Data Polling Bit. A V alid Ad-

dress is the address being programmed or an

address within the block being erased.

Toggle Bit (DQ6). The Togg le Bit can be used to

identify whether the Program/Erase Controller has

successfully completed its operation or if it has re-

sponded to an Erase Suspend. The Toggle Bit is

output on DQ6 when the Status Register is re ad.

During Program and Erase operations the Toggle

Bit changes f rom ’0 ’ to ’ 1’ to ’ 0’, et c., with succes-

sive Bus Read operations at any address. After

successful completion of the operation the memo-

ry returns to Read mode.

During Erase Suspend mode the Toggle Bit will

output when addressing a cell within a block being

erased. The Toggle Bit will stop toggling when the

Program/Erase Controller has suspended the

Erase operation.

If any attempt is ma de to erase a protected bl ock,

the o peration is aborted, no error i s sig nalled and

DQ6 toggles for approximately 100µs. If any at-

tempt is made to program a protected block or a

suspended b lock, the operatio n is aborted, no er-

ror is signalled and DQ6 toggles for approxi mately

1µs.

Figure 8 , Data Toggle Flowchart, g ives an exam-

ple of how to u se the Data Toggle Bit.

Error Bit (DQ5). The Error Bit can be used to

identify errors detected by the Program/Erase

Controller. The Error Bit is set to ’1’ when a Pro-

gram, Block Erase or Chip Erase operation fails to

write the correct data to the memory. If the Error

Bit is set a Rea d/Re se t comm and must be iss ued

before other command s are issued. The Error bit

is output on DQ5 when the Status Register is read.

Note that t he Program command cannot change a

bit set to ’0’ back to ’1’ and attempting to do so will

set DQ5 to ‘1’. A Bus Read operation to that ad-

dres s w ill s how the bit is s ti ll ‘0’. On e of the E r as e

commands must be used to set all the bits in a

block or in the w hole m emo ry from ’0’ to ’1’

Erase Timer Bit (DQ3). The Erase Timer Bit can

be used to identify the start of Program/Erase

Controller operation during a Block Erase com-

mand. Once the Program/Erase Controller starts

erasing the Erase Ti mer Bit is set to ’1’. Before the

Program/Erase Controller starts the Erase Timer

Bit is set to ’0’ and additional block s to be erased

may be written to the Command Interface. The

Erase Timer Bit is output on DQ3 when the Status

Alternative T oggle Bit (D Q2). The Alternative

Toggle Bit can be used to monitor the Program/

Erase controller during Erase operations. The Al-

ternative Toggle Bit is output on DQ2 when the

Status Register is re ad.

During Chip Erase and Block Erase operations the

Toggle Bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc., with

successive Bus Re ad operations from addresses

within the blocks being erased. A protected block

is treated the same as a block not being erased.

Once the operation completes the memory returns

to Read mode.

During Erase Suspend the Alternative Toggle Bit

changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc. with successive

Bus Read operations from addresses within the

blocks being erased. Bus Read operations to ad-

dresses within blocks not being erased will ou tput

the memory cell data as i f in Read mode.

After an Erase operation that c auses t he Error Bit

to be set the Alternative Toggle Bit can be used to

identify which block or bl ocks have caused t he er-

ror. The Altern ative Toggle Bit ch anges from ’0’ to

’1’ to ’0’, etc. with successive Bus Read Opera-

tions from addresses within blocks that have not

erased correctly. The Alternative Toggle Bit does

not change if the addressed block has erased cor-

rectly.

APPENDIX B. COMMON FLASH INTERFACE (CFI)

The Common Flash Interface is a JEDEC ap-

proved, standardized data structure that can be

read from the Flash memory device. It allows a

system sof tware t o query the device to det ermine

various electrical and timing parameters, density

information and functions supported by t he mem-

ory. The system can interface easily with the de-

vice, enabling the s oftware to upgrad e itse lf when

necessary.

When the CFI Query Command is issued the de-

vice enters CFI Query mode and the data structure

is read from the memory. Tables 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

and 26 show the addresses used to retrieve the

data.

The CFI data structure also contains a security

area where a 64 bit unique security number is writ-

ten (see Table 26, Security Code area). This area

can be accessed only in Read mode by the final

user. It is impos sible to change t he secu ri ty num-

ber after it has been written by ST. Issue a Read

command to return to Read mode.

Note: The Common Flash Interface is only avail-

able for Temperature range 6 (–40 to 85°C).

APPENDIX C. BLOCK PRO TECTION

Block protection ca n be used to prevent any oper-

ation from modifying the data stored in the Flash

memory. Each Block can be protected individually.

Once protected, Program and Erase operations

on the block fail to change t he data.

There are three techniques that can be used to

control Block Protection, these are the Program-

mer technique, the In- System technique and Tem-

porary Unprotection. Temporary Unprotection is

controlled by the Reset/Block Temporary Unpro-

tection pin, RP; this is des cribed in the S ign al De-

scriptions section.

Unlike the Command Interface of the Program/

Erase Cont roller, the techniques for protecting and

unprotecting blocks could change betwe en differ-

ent Fl ash memory suppliers.

Programm er Technique

The Programmer technique uses high (VID) volt-

age levels on some of the bus pins. These cannot

be achieved using a standar d microproces sor bus,

therefore the technique is recommended only for

use in Programmi ng Equipment.

To protect a block follow the flowchart in Figure 17,

Programmer Equipment Block Protect Flowchart.

During the Block Protect algorithm, the A19-A12

Address Inputs indicate the address of the block to

be protected. The bl ock will be correctly protected

only if A19-A12 remain valid and stable, and if

Chip Enable is kept Low, VIL, all along the Prot ect

and Verify phases.

The Chip Unpr otect algorithm is used to unprotect

all the memory blocks at the same time. Thi s algo-

rithm can only be used if all of t he bl oc ks are pro-

tected fi rst. To unprotect the chip follow Figure 18,

Programmer Equipment Chip Unprotect Flow-

chart. Table 27, Programmer Technique Bus Op-

erations, gives a summary of each operat ion.

The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care

should be taken t o ensure that, where a pau se is

specified, it is followed as cl osely as possible. Do

not abort the procedure be fore reaching the end.

Chip Unprotect can take several seconds and a

user message should be provided to show that the

operation is progressing.

In-System Technique

The In-System technique requires a high voltage

level on the Reset/Blocks Temporary Unprotect

pin, RP . This can be achieved without violating the

maximum ratings of the components on the micro-

processor bus, therefore this tec hniqu e is suitable

for use after the Flash memory has been fitted to

th e syste m.

To protect a block follow the flowchart in Figure 19,

In-System Block Protect Flowchart. To unprotect

the whole c hip it is necessary to protect all of the

blocks f irst, then all the blocks can be unprotected

at the same time. To unprotect the chip foll ow Fig-

ure 20, I n-System Chi p Unprot ect Flowchart.

The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care

should be taken t o ensure that, where a pau se is

specified, it is followed as cl osely as possible. Do

not allow the m icroprocessor t o service interrupts

that will upset the timing and do not abort the pro-

cedure before reaching the end. Chip Unprotect

can take several seconds and a user message

should be provided to show that the operation is

progressing.
