USER MODE DEFINITIONS
EN29LV040A
Standby Mode
The EN29LV040A has a CMOS-compatible standby mode, which reduces the current to < 1µA (typical).
It is placed in CMOS-compatible standby when the CE pin is at V_CC ± 0.3. The device also has a TTL-
compatible standby mode, which reduces the maximum V_CC current to < 1mA. It is placed in TTL-
compatible standby when the CE pin is at V_IH. When in standby modes, the outputs are in a high-
impedance state independent of the OE input.
Read Mode
The device is automatically set to reading array data after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array data after completing an Embedded Program or
Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The
system can read array data using the standard read timings, except that if it reads at an address within
erase-suspended sectors, the device outputs status data. After completing a programming operation in the
Erase Suspend mode, the system may once again read array data with the same exception. See “Erase
Suspend/Erase Resume Commands” for more additional information.
The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes high,
or while in the autoselect mode. See the “Reset Command” additional details.
Output Disable Mode
When the CE or OE pin is at a logic high level (V_IH), the output from the EN29LV040A is disabled.
The output pins are placed in a high impedance state.
Auto Select Identification Mode
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and device identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This mode is primarily intended for programming
equipment to automatically match a device to be programmed with its corresponding programming
algorithm. However, the autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system through the command
register.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect mode requires V_ID (11 V) on address pin A9.
Address pins A8, A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in Autoselect Codes table. In addition, when
verifying sector protection, the sector address must appear on the appropriate highest order address
bits. Refer to the corresponding Sector Address Tables. The Command Definitions table shows the
remaining address bits that are don’t-care. When all necessary bits have been set as required, the
programming equipment may then read the corresponding identifier code on DQ7–DQ0.
To access the autoselect codes in-system; the host system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in the Command Definitions table. This method does not require V_ID. See
“Command Definitions” for details on using the autoselect mode.
Write Mode
Write operations, including programming data and erasing sectors of memory, require the host system
to write a command or command sequence to the device. Write cycles are initiated by placing the byte
or word address on the device’s address inputs while the data to be written is input on DQ[7:0]. The
host system must drive the CE# and WE# pins Low and the OE# pin High for a valid write operation to
take place. All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# and CE#, whichever happens later. All
data is latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens first. The system is not required
to provide further controls or timings. The device automatically provides internally generated program /
