W39F010
Just prior to the completion of Embedded Algorithm operations DQ7 may change asynchronously
while the output enable (#OE) is asserted low. This means that the device is driving status information
on DQ7 at one instant of time and then that byte′s valid data at the next instant of time. Depending on
when the system samples the DQ7 output, it may read the status or valid data. Even if the device has
completed the Embedded Algorithm operations and DQ7 has a valid data, the data outputs on DQ0–
DQ6 may be still invalid. The valid data on DQ0 − DQ7 will be read on the successive read attempts.
The Data Polling feature is only active during the Embedded Programming Algorithm, Embedded
Erase Algorithm, or page erase time-out (see "Command Definitions").
6.5.2 DQ6: Toggle Bit
The W39F010 also features the "Toggle Bit" as a method to indicate to the host system that the
embedded algorithms are in progress or completed.
During an Embedded Program or Erase Algorithm cycle, successive attempts to read (#OE toggling)
data from the device at any address will result in DQ6 toggling between one and zero. Once the
Embedded Program or Erase Algorithm cycle is completed, DQ6 will stop toggling and valid data will
be read on the next successive attempt. During programming, the Toggle Bit is valid after the rising
edge of the fourth #WE pulse in the four write pulse sequence. For chip erase, the Toggle Bit is valid
after the rising edge of the sixth #WE pulse in the six write pulse sequence. For page erase, the
Toggle Bit is valid after the last rising edge of the page erase #WE pulse. The Toggle Bit is active
during the page erase time-out.
Either #CE or #OE toggling will cause DQ6 to toggle.
