Softw are Features
— Program Suspend & Resume: read other sectors
before programming operation is completed
— Erase Suspend & Resume: read/program other
sectors before an erase operation is completed
— Data# polling & toggle bits provide status
— Unlock Bypass Program command reduces overall
multiple-word programming time
— CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant: allows host
system to identify and accommodate multiple flash
devices
Hardw are Features
— Sector Protection: hardware-level method of
preventing write operations within a sector
— Temporary Sector Unprotect: V
ID
-level method of
changing code in locked sectors
— Hardware reset input (RESET#) resets device
— Ready/Busy# output (RY/BY#) indicates program or
erase cycle completion
