Advance Information
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation, writing the reset command
returns the banks to the read mode (or erase-suspend-read mode if that bank
was in Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host system to access the manu-
facturer and device codes, and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
The autoselect command sequence may be written to an address within a bank
that is either in the read or erase-suspend-read mode. The autoselect command
may not be written while the device is actively programming or erasing in the
other bank.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by first writing two unlock cycles.
This is followed by a third write cycle that contains the bank address and the au-
toselect command. The bank then enters the autoselect mode. The system may
read any number of autoselect codes without reinitiating the command sequence.
Table 12 shows the address and data requirements. To determine sector protec-
tion information, the system must write to the appropriate bank address (BA) and
sector address (SA).
The system must write the reset command to return to the read mode (or erase-
suspend-read mode if the bank was previously in Erase Suspend).
Enter Secured Silicon Sector/Exit Secured Silicon Sector Command
Sequence
The Secured Silicon Sector region provides a secured data area containing a ran-
dom, eight word electronic serial number (ESN). The system can access the
Secured Silicon Sector region by issuing the three-cycle Enter Secured Silicon
Sector command sequence. The device continues to access the Secured Silicon
Sector region until the system issues the four-cycle Exit Secured Silicon Sector
command sequence. The Exit Secured Silicon Sector command sequence returns
the device to normal operation. The Secured Silicon Sector is not accessible when
the device is executing an Embedded Program or embedded Erase algorithm.
Table 12 shows the address and data requirements for both command sequences.
Also see, “Secured Silicon Sector Flash Memory Region” on page 39 for further in-
formation. Note: The ACC function and unlock bypass modes are not available
when the Secured Silicon Sector is enabled.
Word Program Command Sequence
Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program command sequence is
initiated by writing two unlock write cycles, followed by the program set-up com-
mand. The program address and data are written next, which in turn initiate the
Embedded Program algorithm. The system is not required to provide further con-
trols or timings. The device automatically provides internally generated program
pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin. Table 12 shows the address and
data requirements for the program command sequence. Note that the Secured
Silicon Sector, autoselect, and CFI functions are unavailable when a [program/
erase] operation is in progress.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, that bank then returns to
the read mode and addresses are no longer latched. The system can determine
the status of the program operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write
Operation Status” on page 56 for information on these status bits.
