SECTOR ERASE COMMANDS
The device does not require the system to entirely pre-
program prior to executing the Automatic Sector Erase
Set-up command and Automatic Sector Erase com-
mand. Upon executing the Automatic Sector Erase com-
mand, the device will automatically program and verify
the sector(s) memory for an all-zero data pattern. The
system is not 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 either the data on Q7 is "1" at which time the de-
vice returns to the Read mode or the data on Q6 stops
toggling for two consecutive read cycles 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 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 "un-
lock" write cycles. These are followed by writing the
set-up command 80H. Two more "unlock" write cycles
are then followed by the sector erase command 30H.
The sector address is latched on the falling edge of WE
or CE, whichever happens later, while the command
(data) is latched on the rising edge of WE or CE, which-
ever happens 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 started by the falling edge of WE or
CE, whichever happens later must begin within 50us
from the rising edge of the preceding WE or CE, which-
ever happens first. Otherwise, the loading period ends
and internal auto sector erase cycle starts. (Monitor Q3
to determine if the sector erase timer window is still open,
see section Q3, Sector Erase Timer.) Any command other
than Sector Erase(30H) or Erase Suspend(B0H) during
the time-out period resets the device to read mode.
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
Sector Erase operation. When the Erase Suspend Com-
P/N:PM0901

mand is issued during the sector erase operation, the
device requires a maximum 20us to suspend the sector
erase operation. However, when the Erase Suspend com-
mand 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 executed, the command register will initiate erase
suspend mode. The state machine will return to read
mode automatically after suspend is ready. At this time,
state machine only allows the command register to re-
spond to Erase Resume, program data to , or read data
from any sector not selected for erasure.
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 device has resumed erasing.
BYTE PROGRAM COMMAND SEQUENCE
The device programs one byte of data for each program
operation. The command sequence requires four bus
cycles, and is initiated by writing two unlock write cycles,
followed by the program set-up command. The program
address and data are written next, which in turn initiate
the Embedded Program algorithm. The system is
required to provide further controls or timings. The device
automatically generates the program pulses and verifies
the programmed cell margin. Table 4 shows the address
and data requirements for the byte program command
sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
the device then returns to reading array data and
addresses are no longer latched. The system can
determine the status of the program operation by using
Q7, Q6, or RY/BY. See "Write Operation Status" for
information on these status bits.
