When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to the read mode and addresses are no
longer latched. The system can determine the status
of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or
RY/BY#. Refer to
for information on these status bits.
Any commands written during the chip erase operation
are ignored. However, note that a hardware reset im-
mediately terminates the erase operation. If that oc-
curs, the chip erase command sequence should be
reinitiated once the device has returned to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.

Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two
unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two ad-
ditional unlock cycles are written, and are then fol-
lowed by the address of the sector to be erased, and
the sector erase command.
shows the address and data requirements for the sec-
tor erase command sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram
prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm auto-
matically programs and verifies the entire memory for
an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The
system is not required to provide any controls or tim-
ings during these operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase
time-out of 50 µs occurs. During the time-out period,
additional sector addresses and sector erase com-
mands may be written. Loading the sector erase buffer
may be done in any sequence, and the number of sec-
tors may be from one sector to all sectors. The time
between these additional cycles must be less than 50
µs, otherwise erasure may begin. Any sector erase ad-
dress and command following the exceeded time-out
may or may not be accepted. It is recommended that
processor interrupts be disabled during this time to en-
sure all commands are accepted. The interrupts can
be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is
written. Any command other than Sector Erase or
Erase Suspend during the time-out period resets
the device to the read mode. The system must re-
write the command sequence and any additional ad-
dresses and commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sec-
tor erase timer has timed out (See the section
Sector Erase Timer” on page

gins from the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the
command sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
device returns to reading array data and addresses
are no longer latched. The system can determine the
status of the erase operation by reading DQ7, DQ6,
DQ2, or RY/BY#. Refer to
page 29
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other com-
mands are ignored. However, note that a hardware
reset immediately terminates the erase operation. If
that occurs, the sector erase command sequence
should be reinitiated once the device returns to read-
ing array data, to ensure data integrity.

Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
Commands
The Erase Suspend command, B0h, allows the sys-
tem to interrupt 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 sec-
tor erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out pe-
riod during the sector erase command sequence. The
Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during
the chip erase operation or Embedded Program
algorithm.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during
the sector erase operation, the device requires a max-
imum of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation. How-
ever, when the Erase Suspend command is written
during the sector erase time-out, the device immedi-
ately terminates the time-out period and suspends the
erase operation.
After the erase operation is suspended, the device en-
ters the erase-suspend-read mode. The system can
read data from or program data to any sector not se-
lected for erasure. (The device “erase suspends” all
sectors selected for erasure.) Reading at any address
within erase-suspended sectors produces status infor-
mation on DQ7–DQ0. The system can use DQ7, or
DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine if a sector is ac-
tively erasing or is erase-suspended. Refer to
Operation Status” on page 29
status bits.
After an erase-suspended program operation is com-
plete, the device returns to the erase-suspend-read
mode. The system determines the status of the pro-
gram operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just
for information on these status bits.
