S71PL129JC0 Datasheet, PDF (42/149 Pages) SPANSION – Stacked Multi-Chip Product (MCP) Flash Memory

Advance Information
Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI)
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines device and host system
software interrogation handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified soft-
ware algorithms to be used for entire families of devices. Software support can
then be device-independent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and back-
ward-compatible for the specified flash device families. Flash vendors can
standardize their existing interfaces for long-term compatibility.
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the system writes the CFI Query
command, 98h, to address 55h, any time the device is ready to read array data.
The system can read CFI information at the addresses given in Table 8, Table 9,
Table 10, and Table 11. To terminate reading CFI data, the system must write the
reset command. The CFI Query mode is not accessible when the device is exe-
cuting an Embedded Program or embedded Erase algorithm.
The system can also write the CFI query command when the device is in the au-
toselect mode. The device enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read
CFI data at the addresses given in Table 8, Table 9, Table 10, and Table 11. The
system must write the reset command to return the device to reading array data.
For further information, please refer to the CFI Specification and CFI Publication
100. Contact your local sales office for copies of these documents.
