SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The M28W320C is a 32 Mbit (2 Mbit x 16) non-vol-
atileFlashmemorythatcanbeerasedelectrically
at the block level and programmed in-system on a
Word-by-Word basis. These operations can be
performed using a single low voltage (2.7 to 3.6V)
supply. VDDQ allows to drive the I/O pin down to
1.65V. An optional 12V VPP power supply is pro-
vided to speed up customer programming.
The device features an asymmetrical blocked ar-
chitecture. The M28W320C has an array of 71
blocks: 8 Parameter Blocks of 4 KWord and 63
Main Blocks of 32 KWord. M28W320CT has the
Parameter Blocks at the top of the memory ad-
dress space while the M28W320CB locates the
Parameter Blocks starting from the bottom. The
memory maps are shown in Figure 6, Block Ad-
dresses.
The M28W320C features an instant, individual
block locking scheme that allows any block to be
locked or unlocked with no latency, enabling in-
stant code and data protection. All blocks have
three levels of protection. They can be locked and
locked-down individually preventing any acciden-
tal programming or erasure. There is an additional
hardware protection against program and erase.
When VPP VPPLK allblocks are protected against
program or erase. All blocks are locked at Power
Up.
Each block can be erased separately. Erase can
be suspended in order to perform either read or
program in any other block and then resumed.
Program can be suspended to read data in any
other block and then resumed. Each block can be
programmed and erased over 100,000 cycles.
The device includes a 128 bit Protection Register
and a Security Block to increase the protection of
a system design. The Protection Register is divid-
ed into two 64 bit segments, the first one contains
a unique device number written by ST, while the
second one is one-time-programmable by the us-
er. The user programmable segment can be per-
manently protected. The Security Block,
parameter block 0, can be permanently protected
by the user. Figure 7, shows the Security Block
and Protection Register Memory Map.
Program and Erase commands are written to the
Command Interface of the memory. An on-chip
Program/Erase Controller takes care of the tim-
ings necessary for program and erase operations.
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 memory is offered in TSOP48 (10 X 20mm),
µGBA47 (6.39 x 10.5mm, 0.75mm pitch) and
TFBGA47(6.39 x 10.5mm, 0.75mm pitch) packag-
es and is supplied with all the bits erased (set to
’1’).

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure 2 Logic Diagram and Table 1,Signal
Names, for a briefoverview of the signals connect-
ed to this device.
Address Inputs (A0-A20). The Address Inputs
select the cells in the memory array to access dur-
ing Bus Read operations. During Bus Write opera-
tions they control the commands sent to the
Command Interface of the internal state machine.
Data Input/Output (DQ0-DQ15). The Data I/O
outputs the data stored at the selected address
during a Bus Read operation or inputs a command
orthedatatobeprogrammedduringaWriteBus
operation.
Chip Enable (E). The Chip Enable input acti-
vates the memory control logic, input buffers, de-
coders and sense amplifiers. When Chip Enable is
at VILand Reset is at VIH the device is in active
mode. When Chip Enable is at VIH the memory is
deselected, the outputs are high impedance and
the power consumption is reduced to the stand-by
level.
Output Enable (G). The Output Enable controls
data outputs during the Bus Read operation of the
memory.
WriteEnable(W
). The Write Enable controls the
Bus Write operation of the memory’s Command
Interface. The data and address inputs are latched
ontherisingedgeofChipEnable,E,orWriteEn-
able, W, whichever occurs first.
Write Protect (WP). Write Protect is an input
that gives an additional hardware protection for
each block. When Write Protect is at VIL, the Lock-
Down is enabled and the protection status of the
block cannot be changed. When Write Protect is at
VIH, the Lock-Down is disabled and the block can
be locked or unlocked. (refer to Table 6, Read Pro-
tection Register and Protection Register Lock).
Reset (RP). The Reset input provides a hard-
wareresetofthememory.WhenResetisatV
IL,
the memory is in reset mode: the outputs are high
impedance and the current consumption is mini-
mized. After Reset all blocks are in the Locked
state. When Resetis at VIH, the device is in normal
operation. Exiting reset mode the device enters
read array mode, but a negative transition of Chip
Enable or a change of the address is required to
ensure valid data outputs.
VDD Supply Voltage. VDD provides the power
supply to the internal core of the memory device.
It is the main power supply for all operations
(Read, Program and Erase).
VDDQ Supply Voltage. VDDQ provides the
power supply to the I/O pins and enables all Out-
puts to be powered independently from VDD.VDDQ
canbetiedtoV
DD or can use a separate supply.
VPP Program Supply Voltage. VPP is both a
control input and a power supply pin. The two
functions are selected by the voltage range ap-
plied to the pin. The Supply Voltage VDD and the
Program Supply Voltage VPP canbeappliedin
any order.
If VPP is kept in a low voltage range (0V to 3.6V)
VPP is seen as a control input. In this case a volt-
age lower than VPPLK gives an absolute protection
against program or erase, while VPP >V
PP1 en-
ables these functions (see Table 14, DC Charac-
teristics for the relevant values). VPP is only
sampled at the beginning of a program or erase; a
change in its value after the operation has started
does not have any effect and program or erase op-
erations continue.
If VPP is in the range 11.4V to 12.6V it acts as a
power supply pin. In this condition VPP must be
stable until the Program/Erase algorithm is com-
pleted (see Table 16 and 17).
VSS Ground. VSS is the reference for all voltage
measurements.
Note: Each device in a system should have
VDD,V
DDQ and VPP decoupled with a 0.1µF ca-
pacitor close to the pin. See Figure 9, AC Mea-
surement Load Circuit. The PCB trace widths
should be sufficient to carry the required VPP
program and erase currents.

M28W320CT, M28W320CB
BUS OPERATIONS
There are six standard bus operations that control
the device. These are Bus Read, Bus Write, Out-
put Disable, Standby, Automatic Standby and Re-
set. See Table 2, Bus Operations, for a summary.
Typically glitches of less than 5ns on Chip Enable
or Write Enable are ignored by the memory and do
not affect bus operations.
Read. Read Bus operations are used to output
the contents of the Memory Array, the Electronic
Signature, the Status Register and the Common
Flash Interface. Both Chip Enable and Output En-
ablemustbeatV
IL in order to perform a read op-
eration. The Chip Enable input should be used to
enable the device. Output Enable should be used
to gate data onto the output. The data read de-
pends on the previous command written to the
memory (see Command Interface section). See
Figure 10, Read Mode AC Waveforms, and Table
15, Read AC Characteristics, for details of when
the output becomes valid.
Read mode is the default state of the device when
exiting Reset or after power-up.
Write. Bus Write operations write Commands to
the memory or latch Input Data to be programmed.
A write operation is initiated when Chip Enable
and Write Enable are at VIL with Output Enable at
VIH. Commands, Input Data and Addresses are
latched on the rising edge of Write Enable or Chip
Enable, whichever occurs first.
See Figures 11 and 12, Write AC Waveforms, and
Tables 16 and 17, Write AC Characteristics, for
details of the timing requirements.
Output Disable. The data outputs are high im-
pedance when the Output Enable is at VIH.
Standby. Standby disables most of the internal
circuitry allowing a substantial reduction of the cur-
rent consumption. The memory is in stand-by
when Chip Enable is at VIH andthedeviceisin
read mode. The power consumption is reduced to
the stand-by level and the outputs are set to high
impedance, independently from the Output Enable
or Write Enable inputs. If Chip Enable switches to
VIH during a program or erase operation, the de-
vice enters Standby mode when finished.
Automatic Standby. Automatic Standby pro-
vides a low power consumption state during Read
mode. Following a read operation, the device en-
ters Automatic Standby after 150ns of bus inactiv-
ity even if Chip Enable is Low, VIL, and the supply
current is reduced to IDD1. The data Inputs/Out-
puts will still output data if a bus Read operation is
in progress.
Reset. During Reset mode when Output Enable
is Low, VIL, the memory is deselected and the out-
puts are high impedance. The memory is in Reset
mode when Reset is at VIL. The power consump-
tion is reduced to the Standby level, independently
from the Chip Enable, Output Enable or Write En-
able inputs. If Reset is pulled to VSS during a Pro-
gram or Erase, this operation is aborted and the
memory content is no longer valid.

COMMAND INTERFACE
All Bus Write operations to the memory are inter-
preted by the Command Interface. Commands
consist of one or more sequential Bus Write oper-
ations. An internal Program/Erase Controller han-
dles all timings and verifies the correct execution
of the Program and Erase commands. The Pro-
gram/Erase Controller provides a Status Register
whose output may be read at any time during, to
monitor the progress of the operation, or the Pro-
gram/Erase states. See Appendix 25, Table 33,
Write State Machine Current/Next, for a summary
of the Command Interface.
The Command Interface is reset to Read mode
when power is first applied, when exiting from Re-
set or whenever VDD is lower than VLKO.Com-
mand sequences must be followed exactly. Any
invalid combination of commands will reset the de-
vice to Read mode. Refer to Table 3, Commands,
in conjunction with the text descriptions below.
Read Memory Array Command
TheReadcommandreturnsthememorytoits
Read mode. One Bus Write cycle is required to is-
sue the Read Memory Array command and return
the memory to Read mode. Subsequent read op-
erations will read the addressed location and out-
put the data. When a device Reset occurs, the
memory defaults to Read mode.
Read Status Register Command
The Status Register indicates when a program or
erase operation is complete and the success or
failure of the operation itself. Issue a Read Status
Register command to read the Status Register’s
contents. Subsequent Bus Read operations read
the Status Register at any address, until another
command is issued. See Table 10, Status Register
Bits, for details on the definitions of the bits.
The Read Status Register command may be is-
sued at any time, even during a Program/Erase
operation. Any Read attempt during a Program/
Erase operation will automatically output the con-
tent of the Status Register.
Read Electronic Signature Command
The Read Electronic Signature command reads
the Manufacturer and Device Codes and the Block
Locking Status, or the Protection Register.
The Read Electronic Signature command consists
of one write cycle, a subsequent read will output
the Manufacturer Code, the Device Code, the
Block Lock and Lock-Down Status, or the Protec-
tion and Lock Register. See Tables 4, 5 and 6 for
the valid address.
Read CFI Query Command
The Read Query Command is used to read data
from the Common Flash Interface (CFI) Memory
Area, allowing programming equipment or appli-
cations to automatically match their interface to
the characteristics of the device. One Bus Write
cycle is required to issue the Read Query Com-
mand. Once the command is issued subsequent
Bus Read operations read from the Common
Flash Interface Memory Area. See Appendix B,
Common Flash Interface, Tables 27, 28, 29, 30,
31 and 32 for details on the information contained
in the Common Flash Interface memory area.
Block Erase Command
TheBlockErasecommandcanbeusedtoerase
a block. It sets all the bits within the selected block
to ’1’. All previous data in the block is lost. If the
block is protected then the Erase operation will
abort, the data in the block will notbe changed and
the Status Register will output the error.
Two Bus Write cycles are required to issue the
command.
The first bus cycle sets up the Erase command.
The second latches the block address in the
internal state machine and starts the Program/
Erase Controller.
If the second bus cycle is not Write Erase Confirm
(D0h), Status Register bits b4 and b5 are set and
the command aborts.
Erase aborts if Reset turns to VIL. As data integrity
cannot be guaranteed when the Erase operation is
aborted, the block must be erased again.
During Erase operations the memory will accept
the Read Status Register command and the Pro-
gram/Erase Suspend command, all other com-
mands will be ignored. Typical Erase times are
given in Table 7, Program, Erase Times and Pro-
gram/Erase Endurance Cycles.
See Appendix C, Figure 24, Erase Flowchart and
Pseudo Code, for a suggested flowchart for using
the Erase command.
Program Command
The memory array can be programmed word-by-
word. Two bus write cycles are required to issue
the Program Command.
The first bus cycle sets up the Program
command.
The secondlatchestheAddress and theDatato
be written and starts the Program/Erase
Controller.
During Program operations the memory will ac-
cept the Read Status Register command and the
Program/Erase Suspend command. Typical Pro-
gram times are given in Table 7, Program, Erase
Times and Program/Erase Endurance Cycles.
Programming aborts if Reset goes to VIL. As data
integrity cannot be guaranteed when the program
operation is aborted, the block containing the
13/53
M28W320CT, M28W320CB
memory location must be erased and repro-
grammed.
See Appendix C, Figure 21, Program Flowchart
and Pseudo Code, for the flowchart for using the
Program command.
Double Word Program Command
This feature is offered to improve the programming
throughput, writing a page of two adjacent words
in parallel.The two words must differ only for the
address A0. Programming should not be attempt-
ed when VPP is not at VPPH. The command can be
executed if VPP is below VPPH but the result is not
guaranteed.
Three bus write cycles are necessary to issue the
Double Word Program command.
The first bus cycle sets up the Double Word
Program Command.
The second bus cycle latches the Address and
theDataofthefirstwordtobewritten.
The third bus cycle latches the Address and the
Data of the second word to be written and starts
the Program/Erase Controller.
Read operations output the Status Register con-
tent after the programming has started. Program-
ming aborts if Reset goes to VIL. As data integrity
cannot be guaranteed when the program opera-
tion is aborted, the block containing the memory
location must be erased and reprogrammed.
See Appendix C, Figure 22, Double Word Pro-
gram Flowchart and Pseudo Code, for the flow-
chart for using the Double Word Program
command.
Clear Status Register Command
The Clear Status Register command can be used
to reset bits 1, 3, 4 and 5 in the Status Register to
‘0’. One bus write cycle is required to issue the
Clear Status Register command.
The bits in the Status Register do not automatical-
ly return to ‘0 when a new Program or Erase com-
mand is issued. The error bits in the Status
Register should be cleared before attempting a
new Program or Erase command.
Program/Erase Suspend Command
The Program/Erase Suspend command is used to
pause a Program or Erase operation. One bus
write cycle is required to issue the Program/Erase
command and pause the Program/Erase control-
ler.
During Program/Erase Suspend the Command In-
terface will accept the Program/Erase Resume,
Read Array, Read Status Register, Read Electron-
ic Signature and Read CFI Query commands. Ad-
ditionally, if the suspend operation was Erase then
the Program, Block Lock, Block Lock-Down or
Protection Program commands will also be ac-
cepted. The block being erased may be protected
by issuing the Block Protect, Block Lock or Protec-
tion Program commands. When the Program/
Erase Resume command is issued the operation
will complete. Only the blocks not being erased
may be read or programmed correctly.
During a Program/Erase Suspend, the device can
be placed in a pseudo-standby mode by taking
Chip Enable to VIH. Program/Erase is aborted if
Reset turns to VIL.
See Appendix C, Figure 23, Program or Double
Word Program Suspend & Resume Flowchart and
Pseudo Code, and Figure 25, Erase Suspend &
Resume Flowchart and Pseudo Code for flow-
charts for using the Program/Erase Suspend com-
mand.
Program/Erase Resume Command
The Program/Erase Resume command can be
used to restart the Program/Erase Controller after
a Program/Erase Suspend operation has paused
it. One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the
command. Once the command is issued subse-
quent Bus Read operations read the Status Reg-
ister.
See Appendix C, Figure 23, Program or Double
Word Program Suspend & Resume Flowchart and
Pseudo Code, and Figure 25, Erase Suspend &
Resume Flowchart and Pseudo Code for flow-
charts for using the Program/Erase Resume com-
mand.
Protection Register Program Command
The Protection Register Program command is
used to Program the 64 bit user One-Time-Pro-
grammable (OTP) segment of the Protection Reg-
ister. The segment is programmed 16 bits at a
time. When shipped all bits in the segment are set
to 1’. The user can only program the bits to ‘0’.
Two write cycles are required to issue the Protec-
tion Register Program command.
The first bus cycle sets up the Protection
Register Program command.
The secondlatchestheAddress and theDatato
be written to the Protection Register and starts
the Program/Erase Controller.
Read operations output the Status Register con-
tent after the programming has started.
The segment can be protected by programming bit
1 of the Protection Lock Register. Bit 1 of the Pro-
tection Lock Register protects bit 2 of the Protec-
tion Lock Register. Programming bit 2 of the
Protection Lock Register will result in a permanent
protection of the Security Block (see Figure 7, Se-
curity Block and Protection Register Memory
Map). Attempting to program a previously protect-
ed Protection Register will result in a Status Reg-
ister error. The protection of the Protection

Register and/or the Security Block is not revers-
ible.
The Protection Register Program cannot be sus-
pended.
Block Lock Command
The Block Lock command is used to lock a block
and prevent Program or Erase operations from
changing the data in it. All blocks are locked at
power-up or reset.
Two Bus Write cycles are required to issue the
Block Lock command.
The first bus cycle sets up the Block Lock
command.
The second Bus Write cycle latches the block
address.
The lock status can be monitored for each block
using the Read Electronic Signature command.
Table. 9 shows the protection status after issuing
a Block Lock command.
The Block Lock bits are volatile, once set they re-
main set until a hardware reset or power-down/
power-up. They are cleared by a Blocks Unlock
command. Refer to the section, Block Locking, for
a detailed explanation.
Block Unlock Command
The Blocks Unlock command is used to unlock a
block, allowing the block to be programmed or
erased. Two Bus Write cycles are required to is-
sue the Blocks Unlock command.
The first bus cycle sets up the Block Unlock
command.
The second Bus Write cycle latches the block
address.
The lock status can be monitored for each block
using the Read Electronic Signature command.
Table. 9 shows the protection status after issuing
a Block Unlock command. Refer to the section,
Block Locking, for a detailed explanation.
Block Lock-Down Command
A locked block cannot be Programmed or Erased,
or have its protection status changed when WP is
low, VIL.WhenWPis high, VIH, the Lock-Down
function is disabled and the locked blocks can be
individually unlocked by the Block Unlock com-
mand.
Two Bus Write cycles are required to issue the
Block Lock-Down command.
The first bus cycle sets up the Block Lock
command.
The second Bus Write cycle latches the block
address.
The lock status can be monitored for each block
using the Read Electronic Signature command.
Locked-Down blocks revert to the locked (and not
locked-down) state when the device is reset on
power-down. Table. 9 shows the protection status
after issuing a Block Lock-Down command. Refer
to the section, Block Locking, for a detailed expla-
nation.

BLOCK LOCKING
The M28W320C features an instant, individual
block locking scheme that allows any block to be
lockedorunlockedwithnolatency.Thislocking
scheme has three levels of protection.
Lock/Unlock - this first level allows software-
only control of block locking.
Lock-Down - this second level requires
hardware interaction before locking can be
changed.
VPP VPPLK - the third level offers a complete
hardware protection against program and erase
on all blocks.
Theprotectionstatusofeachblockcanbesetto
Locked, Unlocked, and Lock-Down. Table 9, de-
fines all of the possible protection states (WP,
DQ1, DQ0), and Appendix C, Figure 26, shows a
flowchart for the locking operations.
ReadingaBlocksLockStatus
The lock status of every block can be read in the
Read Electronic Signature mode of the device. To
enter this mode write 90h to the device. Subse-
quent reads at the address specified in Table 5,
will output the protection status of that block. The
lock status is represented by DQ0 and DQ1. DQ0
indicates the Block Lock/Unlock status and is set
by the Lock command and cleared by the Unlock
command. It is also automatically set when enter-
ing Lock-Down. DQ1 indicates the Lock-Down sta-
tus and is set by the Lock-Down command. It
cannot be cleared by software, only by a hardware
reset or power-down.
The following sections explain the operation of the
locking system.
Locked State
The default status of all blocks on power-up or af-
ter a hardware reset is Locked (states (0,0,1) or
(1,0,1)). Locked blocks are fully protected from
any program or erase. Any program or erase oper-
ations attempted on a locked block will return an
error in the Status Register. The Status of a
Locked block can be changed to Unlocked or
Lock-Down using the appropriate software com-
mands.An Unlocked block can be Locked by issu-
ing the Lock command.
Unlocked State
Unlocked blocks (states (0,0,0), (1,0,0) (1,1,0)),
can be programmed or erased. All unlocked
blocks return to the Locked state after a hardware
reset or when the device is powered-down. The
status of an unlocked block can be changed to
Locked or Locked-Down using the appropriate
software commands. A locked block can be un-
locked by issuing the Unlock command.
Lock-Down State
Blocks that are Locked-Down (state (0,1,x))are
protected from program and erase operations (as
for Locked blocks) but their protection status can-
not be changed using software commands alone.
A Locked or Unlocked block can be Locked-Down
by issuing the Lock-Down command. Locked-
Down blocks revert to the Locked state when the
device is reset or powered-down.
The Lock-Down function is dependent on the WP
input pin. When WP=0 (VIL), the blocks in the
Lock-Down state (0,1,x) are protected from pro-
gram, erase and protection status changes. When
WP=1 (VIH) the Lock-Down function is disabled
(1,1,1) and Locked-Down blocks can be individu-
ally unlocked to the (1,1,0) state by issuing the
software command,where they can be erased and
programmed. These blocks can then be relocked
(1,1,1) and unlocked (1,1,0) as desired while WP
remains high. When WP is low , blocks that were
previously Locked-Down return to the Lock-Down
state (0,1,x) regardless of any changes made
while WP was high. Device reset or power-down
resets all blocks , including those in Lock-Down, to
the Locked state.
Locking Operations During Erase Suspend
Changes to block lock status can be performed
during an erase suspend by using the standard
locking command sequences to unlock, lock or
lock-down a block. This is useful in the case when
another block needs to be updated while an erase
operation is in progress.
To change block locking during an erase opera-
tion, first write the Erase Suspend command, then
check the status register until it indicates that the
erase operation has been suspended. Next write
the desired Lock command sequence to a block
and the lock status will be changed. After complet-
ing any desired lock, read, or program operations,
resume the erase operation with the Erase Re-
sume command.
If a block is locked or locked-down during an erase
suspend of the same block, the locking status bits
will be changed immediately, but when the erase
is resumed, the erase operation will complete.
Locking operations cannot be performed during a
program suspend. Refer to Appendix D, Com-
mand Interface and Program/Erase Controller
State, for detailed information on which com-
mands are valid during erase suspend.

Table 8. Block Lock Status
Table 9. Protection Status
Note: 1. The lock status is defined by the write protect pin and by DQ1 (‘1’ for a locked-down block) and DQ0 (‘1’ for a locked block) as read
in the Read Electronic Signature command with A1 = VIH andA0=V
IL.
2. All blocks are locked at power-up, so the default configuration is 001 or 101 according to WP status.
3. A WP transition to VIH on a locked block will restore the previous DQ0 value, giving a 111 or 110.

STATUS REGISTER
The Status Register provides information on the
current or previous Program or Erase operation.
The various bits convey information and errors on
the operation. To read the Status register the
Read StatusRegister command can be issued, re-
fer to Read Status Register Command section. To
output the contents, the Status Register is latched
on the falling edge of the Chip Enable or Output
Enable signals, and can be read until Chip Enable
or Output Enable returns to VIH. Either Chip En-
able or Output Enable must be toggled to update
the latched data.
Bus Read operations from any address always
read the Status Register during Program and
Erase operations.
The bits in the Status Register are summarized in
Table 10, Status Register Bits. Refer to Table 10
in conjunction with the following text descriptions.
Program/Erase Controller Status (Bit 7). The Pro-
gram/Erase Controller Status bit indicates whether
the Program/Erase Controller is active or inactive.
When the Program/Erase Controller Status bit is
Low (set to ‘0’), the Program/Erase Controller is
active; when the bit is High (set to ‘1’), the Pro-
gram/Erase Controller is inactive, and the device
is ready to process a new command.
The Program/Erase Controller Status is Low im-
mediately after a Program/Erase Suspend com-
mand is issued until the Program/Erase Controller
pauses. After the Program/Erase Controller paus-
es the bit is High .
During Program, Erase, operations the Program/
EraseControllerStatusbitcanbepolledtofindthe
end of the operation. Other bits in the Status Reg-
ister should not be tested until the Program/Erase
Controller completes the operation and the bit is
High.
After the Program/Erase Controller completes its
operation the Erase Status, Program Status, VPP
Status and Block Lock Status bits shouldbe tested
for errors.
Erase Suspend Status (Bit 6). The Erase Sus-
pend Status bit indicates that an Erase operation
has been suspended or is going to be suspended.
When the Erase Suspend Status bit is High (set to
‘1’), a Program/Erase Suspend command has
been issued and the memory is waiting for a Pro-
gram/Erase Resume command.
The Erase Suspend Status should only be consid-
ered valid when the Program/Erase Controller Sta-
tus bit is High (Program/Erase Controller inactive).
Bit 7 is set within 30µs of the Program/Erase Sus-
pend command being issued therefore the memo-
ry may still complete the operation rather than
entering the Suspend mode.
When a Program/Erase Resume command is is-
sued the Erase Suspend Status bit returns Low.
Erase Status (Bit 5). The Erase Status bit can be
used to identify if the memory has failed to verify
that the block has erased correctly. When the
Erase Status bit is High (set to ‘1’), the Program/
Erase Controller has applied the maximum num-
ber of pulses to the block and still failed to verify
that the block has erased correctly. The Erase Sta-
tus bit should be read once the Program/Erase
Controller Status bit is High (Program/Erase Con-
troller inactive).
Once set High, the Erase Status bit can only be re-
set Low by a Clear Status Register command or a
hardware reset. If set High it should be reset be-
fore a new Program or Erase command is issued,
otherwise the new command will appear to fail.
Program Status (Bit 4). The Program Status bit
is used to identify a Program failure. When the
Program Status bit is High (set to ‘1’), the Pro-
gram/Erase Controller has applied the maximum
number of pulses to the byte and still failed to ver-
ify that it has programmed correctly. The Program
Status bit should be read once the Program/Erase
Controller Status bit is High (Program/Erase Con-
troller inactive).
Once set High, the Program Status bit can only be
reset Low by a Clear Status Register command or
a hardware reset. If set High it should be reset be-
fore a new command is issued, otherwise the new
command will appear to fail.
VPP Status (Bit 3). The VPP Status bit can be
used to identify an invalid voltage on the VPP pin
during Program and Erase operations. The VPP
pin is only sampled at the beginning of a Program
or Erase operation. Indeterminate results can oc-
cur if VPP becomes invalid during an operation.
When the VPP Status bit is Low (set to ‘0’), the volt-
age on the VPP pin was sampled at a valid voltage;
when the VPP Status bit is High (set to ‘1’), the VPP
pin has a voltage that is below the VPP Lockout
Voltage, VPPLK, the memory is protected and Pro-
gram and Erase operations cannot be performed.
Once setHigh, the VPP Status bit can onlybe reset
Low by a Clear Status Register command or a
hardware reset. If set High it should be reset be-
fore a new Program or Erase command is issued,
otherwise the new command will appear to fail.
Program Suspend Status (Bit 2). The Program
Suspend Status bit indicates that a Program oper-
ation has been suspended. When the Program
Suspend Status bit is High (set to ‘1’), a Program/
Erase Suspend command has been issued and
the memory is waiting for a Program/Erase Re-
sume command. The Program Suspend Status
should only be considered valid when the Pro-
M28W320CT, M28W320CB
20/53
gram/Erase Controller Status bit is High (Program/
Erase Controller inactive). Bit 2 is set within s of
the Program/Erase Suspend command being is-
sued therefore the memory may still complete the
operation rather than entering the Suspend mode.
When a Program/Erase Resume command is is-
sued the Program Suspend Status bit returns Low.
Block Protection Status (Bit 1). The Block Pro-
tectionStatusbitcanbeusedtoidentifyifaPro-
gram or Erase operation has tried to modify the
contents of a locked block.
When the Block Protection Status bit is High (set
to ‘1’), a Program or Erase operation has been at-
temptedonalockedblock.
Once set High, the Block Protection Status bit can
only be reset Low by a Clear Status Register com-
mand or a hardware reset. If set High it should be
reset before a new command is issued, otherwise
the new command will appear to fail.
Reserved (Bit 0). Bit 0 of the Status Register is
reserved. Its value must be masked.
Note: Refer to Appendix C, Flowcharts and
Pseudo Codes, for using the Status Register.

APPENDIX B. COMMON FLASH INTERFACE (CFI)
TheCommonFlashInterfaceisaJEDECap-
proved, standardized data structure that can be
read from the Flash memory device. It allows a
system software to query the device to determine
various electrical and timing parameters, density
information and functions supported by the mem-
ory. The system can interface easily with the de-
vice, enabling the software to upgrade itself when
necessary.
When the CFI Query Command (RCFI) is issued
the device enters CFI Query mode and the data
structure is read from the memory. Tables 27, 28,
29, 30, 31 and 32 show the addresses used to re-
trieve the data.
The CFI data structure also contains a security
area where a 64 bit unique security number is writ-
ten (see Table 32, Security Code area). This area
can be accessed only in Read mode by the final
user. It is impossible to change the security num-
ber after it has been written by ST. Issue a Read
