determine if the device has finished erasing. At some point before the erase cycle completes, the WEL bit in the Status
Register will be reset back to the logical “0” state.
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If an
erase error occurs, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.

Program/Erase Suspend
In some code plus data storage applications, it is often necessary to process certain high-level system interrupts that
require relatively immediate reading of code or data from the Flash memory. In such an instance, it may not be possible for
the system to wait the microseconds or milliseconds required for the Flash memory to complete a program or erase cycle.
The Program/Erase Suspend command allows a program or erase operation in progress to a particular 64-Kbyte sector of
the Flash memory array to be suspended so that other device operations can be performed. For example, by suspending
an erase operation to a particular sector, the system can perform functions such as a program or read operation within
another 64-Kbyte sector in the device. Other device operations, such as a Read Status Register, can also be performed
while a program or erase operation is suspended.
Table 8-1
outlines the operations that are allowed and not allowed
during a program or erase suspend.
Since the need to suspend a program or erase operation is immediate, the Write Enable command does not need to be
issued prior to the Program/Erase Suspend command being issued. Therefore, the Program/Erase Suspend command
operates independently of the state of the WEL bit in the Status Register.
To perform a Program/Erase Suspend, the CS pin must first be asserted and the opcode of B0h must be clocked into the
device. No address bytes need to be clocked into the device, and any data clocked in after the opcode will be ignored.
When the CS pin is deasserted, the program or erase operation currently in progress will be suspended within a time of
t
. The Program Suspend (PS) bit or the Erase Suspend (ES) bit in the Status Register will then be set to the logical
SUSP
“1” state to indicate that the program or erase operation has been suspended. In addition, the RDY/BSY bit in the Status
Register will indicate that the device is ready for another operation. The complete opcode must be clocked into the device
before the CS pin is deasserted, and the CS pin must be deasserted on an even byte boundary (multiples of eight bits);
otherwise, no suspend operation will be performed.
Read operations are not allowed to a 64-Kbyte sector that has had its program or erase operation suspended. If a read is
attempted to a suspended sector, then the device will output undefined data. Therefore, when performing a Read Array
operation to an unsuspended sector and the device’s internal address counter increments and crosses the sector boundary
to a suspended sector, the device will then start outputting undefined data continuously until the address counter
increments and crosses a sector boundary to an unsuspended sector.
A program operation is not allowed to a sector that has been erase suspended. If a program operation is attempted to an
erase suspended sector, then the program operation will abort and the WEL bit in the Status Register will be reset back to
