3.10.4 Erase Suspend / Erase Resume Operation
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands interrupt and restart a Block Erase or Multi-Block Erase operation so that user may
perform another urgent operation on the block that is not being designated by Erase/Multi-Block Erase Operation.
Erase Suspend During a Block Erase Operation
When Erase Suspend command is written during a Block Erase or Multi-Block Erase operation, the device requires a maximum of
500us to suspend erase operation. Erase Suspend Command issue during Block Address latch sequence is prohibited.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the device is ready for the next operation including a load, program, copy-back
program, Lock, Unlock, Lock-tight, Hot Reset, NAND Flash Core Reset, Command Based Reset, Multi-Block Erase Read Verity, or
OTP Access.
The subsequent operation can be to any block that was NOT being erased.
A special case arises pertaining Erase Suspend to the OTP. A Reset command is used to exit from the OTP Access mode. If the
Reset-triggered exit from the OTP Access Mode happens during an Erase Suspend Operation, the erase routine could fail. Therefore
to exit from the OTP Access Mode without suspending the erase operation stop, a 'NAND Flash Core Reset' command should be
issued.
For the duration of the Erase Suspend period the following commands are not accepted:
• Block Erase/Multi-Block Erase/Erase Suspend

Note
1) Erase Suspend command input is prohibited during Multi Block Erase address latch period.
2) If OTP access mode exit happens with Reset operation during Erase Suspend mode,
Reset operation could hurt the erase operation. So if a user wants to exit from OTP access mode
without the erase operation stop, Reset NAND Flash Core command should be used.
