• Manufacturer Part Number: AT29LV256-20PI
• Description: 256K 32K x 8 3-volt Only CMOS Flash Memory
• Manufacturer: ATMEL [ATMEL Corporation]

Device Operation (Continued)
sition of WE (or CE). A0 to A5 specify the byte address
within the sector. The bytes may be loaded in any order;
sequential loading is not required. Once a programming
operation has been initiated, and for the duration of t
read operation will effectively be a polling operation.
HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION:
protect against inadvertent programs to the AT29LV256 in
the following ways: (a) V
(typical), the program function is inhibited. (b) V
on delay— once V
the device will automatically time out 10 ms (typical) be-
fore programming. (c) Program inhibit— holding any one
of OE low, CE high or WE high inhibits program cycles. (d)
Noise filter— pulses of less than 15 ns (typical) on the WE
or CE inputs will not initiate a program cycle.
INPUT LEVELS: While operating with a 3.3V 10%
power supply, the address inputs and control inputs (OE,
CE and WE) may be driven from 0 to 5.5V without ad-
versely affecting the operation of the device. The I/O lines
can only be driven from 0 to 3.6 volts.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: The product identifica-
tion mode identifies the device and manufacturer as At-
mel. It may be accessed by hardware or software opera-
tion. The hardware operation mode can be used by an ex-
ternal programmer to identify the correct programming al-
gorithm for the Atmel product. In addition, users may wish
to use the software product identification mode to identify

the part (i.e. using the device code), and have the system
software use the appropriate sector size for program op-
erations. In this manner, the user can have a common
board design for 256K to 4-megabit densities and, with
each density’s sector size in a memory map, have the sys-
tem software apply the appropriate sector size.
For details, see Operating Modes (for hardware operation)
or Software Product Identification. The manufacturer and
device code is the same for both modes.
DATA POLLING:
ing to indicate the end of a program cycle. During a pro-
gram cycle an attempted read of the last byte loaded will
result in the complement of the loaded data on I/O7. Once
the program cycle has been completed, true data is valid
on all outputs and the next cycle may begin. DATA polling
may begin at any time during the program cycle.
TOGGLE BIT:
AT29LV256 provides another method for determining the
end of a program or erase cycle. During a program or
erase operation, successive attempts to read data from
the device will result in I/O6 toggling between one and
zero. Once the program cycle has completed, I/O6 will
stop toggling and valid data will be read. Examining the
toggle bit may begin at any time during a program cycle.
OPTIONAL CHIP ERASE MODE: The entire device
can be erased by using a 6-byte software code. Please
see Software Chip Erase application note for details.
*NOTICE: Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maxi-
mum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions beyond those indi-
cated in the operational sections of this specification is not
implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions
for extended periods may affect device reliability.
