Device Operation (Continued)
SUSPEND RESUME
Because an erase operation can keep the device in a busy state for an extended period of time the NM29N16 has the ability to
suspend the erase operation to allow program or read operations to be performed on the device The block diagram and
command sequence on this operation are shown as below (Refer to the detail timing chart)
FIGURE 8 Suspend Resume Erase Operation
TL D 11915 – 40
The B0 D0 suspend resume cycle can be repeated up to 20 times during an erase operation After the resume command input
the erase operation continues from the point at which it left off and does not have to restart
