Figure 2 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera-
tion. Refer to the Erase/Program Operations tables in
the “AC Characteristics” section for parameters, and to
the Sector Erase Operations Timing diagram for timing
waveforms.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to in-
terrupt a sector erase operation and then read data
from, or program data to, any sector not selected for
erasure. This command is valid only during the sector
erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out period
during the sector erase command sequence. The
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program algo-
rithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the
time-out period and suspends the erase operation. Ad-
dresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase
Suspend command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a
sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum
of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation. However,
when the Erase Suspend command is written during
the sector erase time-out, the device immediately ter-
minates the time-out period and suspends the erase
operation.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the
system can read array data from any sector not se-
lected for erasure. (The device “erase suspends” all
sectors selected for erasure.) Normal read and write
timings and command definitions apply. Reading at any
address within erase-suspended sectors produces sta-
tus data on DQ7–DQ0. The system can use DQ7 to
determine if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-sus-
pended. See “Write Operation Status” for information
on these status bits.
After an erase-suspended program operation is com-
plete, the system can once again read array data within
non-suspended sectors. The system can determine
the status of the program operation using the DQ7 or
DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard program oper-
ation. See “Wr ite Operation Status” for more
information.
The system may also write the autoselect command
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend

mode. The device allows reading autoselect codes
even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the
codes are not stored in the memory array. When the
device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to
the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another
valid operation. See “Autoselect Command Sequence”
for more information.
The system must write the Erase Resume command
(address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase suspend
mode and continue the sector erase operation. Further
writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another
Erase Suspend command can be written after the de-
vice has resumed erasing.
