*1: Outputs 01H at protected sector addresses and outputs 00H at unprotected sector addresses
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 Protection
The MBM29LV008T-X/008B-X feature hardware sector protection. Those features will disable both program and
erase operations in any number of sectors (0 through 18). The sector protection feature is enabled using
programming equipment at the user's site. Those devices are shipped with all sectors 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
6
= V
IL
. The sector addresses (A
19
, A
18
, A
17
, A
16
, A
15
, A
14
, and A
13
) should be set to
the sector to be protected. Tables 4 and 5 define the sector address for each of the nineteen (19) individual
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 addresses must be held constant during the WE pulse. Refer to figures
14 and 21 for sector 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 addresses (A
19
, A
18
, A
17
, A
16
, A
15
, A
14
, and A
13
) while
(A
10
, A
6
, A
1
, A
0
) = (0, 0, 1, 0) will produce a logical “1” code at device output DQ
0
for a protected sector. Otherwise
the device will read 00H for unprotected sector. In this mode, the lower order addresses, except for A
0
, A
1
, A
6
,
and A
10
are DON’T CARE. Address locations with A
1
= V
IL
are reserved for Autoselect manufacturer and device
codes.
