Write
Device erasure and programming are accomplished via the command register. The contents of the register serve
as inputs to the internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the function of the device.
The command register itself does not occupy any addressable memory location. The register is a latch used to
store the commands, along with the address and data information needed to execute the command. The
command register is written by bringing WE to V
IL
, while CE is at V
IL
and OE is at V
IH
. Addresses are latched on
the falling edge of WE or CE, whichever happens later; while data is latched on the rising edge of WE or CE,
whichever happens first. Standard microprocessor write timings are used.
Refer to AC Write Characteristics and the Erase/Programming Waveforms for specific timing parameters.
Sector Group Protection
The MBM29DL16XTE/BE feature hardware sector group protection. This feature will disable both program and
erase operations in any combination of seventeen sector groups of memory. (See Tables 9.1 and 9.2). The sector
group protection feature is enabled using programming equipment at the user’s site. The device is shipped with
all sector groups unprotected.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment must force V
ID
on address pin A
9
and control pin OE, (suggest
V
ID
= 11.5 V), CE = V
IL
and A
0
= A
6
= V
IL
, A
1
= V
IH
. The sector group addresses (A
19
, A
18
, A
17
, A
16
, A
15
, A
14
, A
13
,
and A
12
) should be set to the sector to be protected. Tables 5.1 to 8.2 define the sector address for each of the
thirty nine (39) individual sectors, and tables 9.1 and 9.2 define the sector group address for each of the seventeen
(17) individual group sectors. Programming of the protection circuitry begins on the falling edge of the WE pulse
and is terminated with the rising edge of the same. Sector group addresses must be held constant during the
WE pulse. See Figures 18 and 26 for sector group protection waveforms and algorithm.
To verify programming of the protection circuitry, the programming equipment must force V
ID
on address pin A
9
with CE and OE at V
IL
and WE at V
IH
. Scanning the sector group addresses (A
19
, A
18
, A
17
, A
16
, A
15
, A
14
, A
13
, and
A
12
) while (A
6
, A
1
, A
0
) = (0, 1, 0) will produce a logical “1” code at device output DQ
0
for a protected sector.
Otherwise the device will produce “0” for unprotected sector. In this mode, the lower order addresses, except
for A
0
, A
1
, and A
6
are DON’T CARES. Address locations with A
1
= V
IL
are reserved for Autoselect manufacturer
and device codes. A
-1
requires to apply to V
IL
on byte mode.
It is also possible to determine if a sector group is protected in the system by writing an Autoselect command.
Performing a read operation at the address location XX02H, where the higher order addresses (A
19
, A
18
, A
17
,
A
16
, A
15
, A
14
, A
13
, and A
12
) are the desired sector group address will produce a logical “1” at DQ
0
for a protected
sector group. See Tables 11.1 to 11.8 for Autoselect codes.
Temporary Sector Group Unprotection
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously protected sector groups of the MBM29DL16XTE/BE
devices in order to change data. The Sector Group Unprotection mode is activated by setting the RESET pin to
high voltage (V
ID
). During this mode, formerly protected sector groups can be programmed or erased by selecting
the sector group addresses. Once the V
ID
is taken away from the RESET pin, all the previously protected sector
groups will be protected again. Refer to Figures 19 and 27.
