Supply Signal Descriptions
The Supply Signals are the same for both interfac-
es.
V
CC
Supply Voltage.
The V
CC
Supply Voltage
supplies the power for all operations (Read, Pro-
gram, Erase etc.).
The Command Interface is disabled when the V
CC
Supply Voltage is less than the Lockout Voltage,
V
LKO
. This prevents Bus Write operations from
accidentally damaging the data during power up,
power down and power surges. If the Program/
Erase Controller is programming or erasing during
this time then the operation aborts and the
memory contents being altered will be invalid.
After V
CC
becomes valid the Command Interface
is reset to Read mode.
A 0.1μF capacitor should be connected between
the V
CC
Supply Voltage pins and the V
SS
Ground
pin to decouple the current surges from the power
supply. Both V
CC
Supply Voltage pins must be
connected to the power supply. The PCB track
widths must be sufficient to carry the currents
required during program and erase operations.
V
PP
Optional Supply Voltage.
The V
PP
Optional
Supply Voltage pin is used to select the Fast
Program (see the Quadruple Byte Program
Command description) and Fast Erase options of
the memory and to protect the memory. When V
PP
< V
PPLK
Program and Erase operations cannot be
performed and an error is reported in the Status
Register if an attempt to change the memory
contents is made. When V
PP
= V
CC
Program and
Erase operations take place as normal. When
V
PP
= V
PPH
Fast Program (if a Quadruple Byte
Program Command is performed) and Fast Erase
operations are used. Any other voltage input to
V
PP
will result in undefined behavior and should
not be used.
V
PP
should not be set to V
PPH
for more than 80
hours during the life of the memory.
V
SS
Ground.
V
SS
is the reference for all the volt-
age measurements.
BUS OPERATIONS
The two interfaces have similar bus operations but
the signals and timings are completely different.
The Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface is the usual
interface and all of the functionality of the part is
available through this interface. Only a subset of
functions are available through the Address/
Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) Interface.
Follow the section Low Pin Count (LPC) Bus
Operations below and the section Address/
Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) Interface Bus
Operations below for a description of the bus
operations on each interface.
Low Pin Count (LPC) Bus Operations
The Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface consists of
four data signals (LAD0-LAD3), one control line
(LFRAME) and a clock (CLK). In addition
protection against accidental or malicious data
corruption can be achieved using two further
signals (TBL and WP). Finally two reset signals
(RP and INIT) are available to put the memory into
a known state.
The data signals, control signal and clock are
designed to be compatible with PCI electrical
specifications. The interface operates with clock
speeds up to 33MHz.
The following operations can be performed using
the appropriate bus cycles: Bus Read, Bus Write,
Standby, Reset and Block Protection.
Table 4. Absolute Maximum Ratings
(1)
Note: 1. Except for the rating "Operating Temperature Range", stresses above those listed in the Table "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may
cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the device at these or any other conditions
above those indicated in the Operating sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating condi-
tions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the STMicroelectronics SURE Program and other relevant qual-
ity documents.
2. Minimum Voltage may undershoot to -2V and for less than 20ns during transitions. Maximum Voltage may overshoot to V
CC
+2V
and for less than 20ns during transitions.
