PD = Data to be programmed at location PA. Data latches on the rising edge of WE# or CE# pulse, whichever happens first.
SA = Address of the sector to be verified (in autoselect mode) or erased. Address bits A19–A12 uniquely select any sector.
Notes
1. See Table 7.1 on page 11 for description of bus operations.
2. All values are in hexadecimal.
3. Except for the read cycle and the fourth cycle of the autoselect command sequence, all bus cycles are write cycles.
4. Data bits DQ15–DQ8 are don’t cares for unlock and command cycles.
5. Address bits A19–A11 are don’t cares for unlock and command cycles, unless SA or PA required.
6. No unlock or command cycles required when reading array data.
7. The Reset command is required to return to reading array data when device is in the autoselect mode, or if DQ5 goes high
(while the device is providing status data).
8. The fourth cycle of the autoselect command sequence is a read cycle.
9. The data is 00h for an unprotected sector and 01h for a protected sector. See “Autoselect Command Sequence” for more
information.
10.Command is valid when device is ready to read array data or when device is in autoselect mode.
11. The Unlock Bypass command is required prior to the Unlock Bypass Program command.
12. The Unlock Bypass Reset command is required to return to reading array data when the device is in the unlock bypass
mode. F0 is also acceptable.
13. The system may read and program in non-erasing sectors, or enter the autoselect mode, when in the Erase Suspend mode.
The Erase Suspend command is valid only during a sector erase operation.
14. The Erase Resume command is valid only during the Erase Suspend mode.
11. Write Operation Status
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5,
DQ6, DQ7, and RY/BY#. Table 11.1 on page 38 and the following subsections describe the
functions of these bits. DQ7, RY/BY#, and DQ6 each offer a method for determining whether a
program or erase operation is complete or in progress. These three bits are discussed first.
11.1 DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system whether an Embedded Algorithm is in
progress or completed, or whether the device is in Erase Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after the
rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the program or erase command sequence.
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs on DQ7 the complement of the
datum programmed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to programming during Erase Suspend.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to
DQ7. The system must provide the program address to read valid status information on DQ7. If a
program address falls within a protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately
250ns, then the device returns to reading array data.
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling produces a 0 on DQ7. When the Embedded
Erase algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Data# Polling
produces a 1 on DQ7. This is analogous to the complement/true datum output described for the
Embedded Program algorithm: the erase function changes all the bits in a sector to 1; prior to this,
the device outputs the complement, or 0. The system must provide an address within any of the
