COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or se-
quences into the command register initiates device
operations.
Table 14 defines the valid register com-
mand sequences. Writing incorrect address and
data values or writing them in the improper se-
quence resets the device to reading array data.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE#
or CE#, whichever happens later. All data is latched on
the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens
diagrams.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. Each bank is ready to read array data
after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded
Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command,
the co rres ponding ban k enters the eras e-su s -
pend-read mode, after which the system can read
data from any non-erase-suspended sector within the
same bank. After completing a programming operation
in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once
again read array data with the same exception. See
tion for more information.
The system
must issue the reset command to return a
bank to the read (or erase-suspend-read) mode if DQ5
goes high during an active program or erase opera-
tion, or if the bank is in the autoselect mode. See the
vides the read parameters, and
Figure 13 shows the
timing diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command resets the banks to the
read or erase-suspend-read mode. Address bits are
don’t cares for this command.
The reset command may be written between the se-
quence cycles in an erase command sequence before
erasing begins. This resets the bank to which the sys-
tem was writing to reading array data. Once erasure
begins, however, the device ignores reset commands
until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the
sequence cycles in a program command sequence
before programming begins. This resets the bank to
which the system was writing to reading array data. If
the program command sequence is written to a bank
that is in the Erase Suspend mode, writing the reset
c o mma nd re t u r n s t hat b a n k t o t h e eras e - s u s -
pend-read mode. Once programming begins, however,
the device ignores reset commands until the operation
is complete.
The reset command may be written between the se-
quence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command
must be written to return to reading array data. If a
bank entered the autoselect mode while in the Erase
Suspend mode, writing the reset command returns
that bank to the erase-suspend-read mode.
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the banks to read-
ing array data (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 manufacturer and device codes,
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
Table 14 shows the address and data requirements.
This method is an alternative to that shown in
Table 7,which is intended for PROM programmers and re-
qu ire s V
ID o n a ddr es s pi n A 9 . T h e au tos e l e c t
command sequence may be written to an address
w i t h in a bank t h a t is eit her in t he read or
erase-suspend-read mode. The autoselect command
may not be written while the device is actively pro-
gramming 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
autoselect command. The bank then enters the
autoselect mode. The system may read at any address
within the same bank any number of times without ini-
tiating another autoselect command sequence. The fol-
lowing table describes the hex address requirements
for the various autoselect functions, and the resulting
data. BA represents the bank address, and SA repre-
sents the sector address.
