15. Command Definitions
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates device
Writing incorrect address and data values or writing them in the improper sequence 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
diagrams.
15.1
Reading Array Data in Non-burst Mode
The device is automatically set to reading array data after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array data after completing an Embedded Program or
Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the device enters the Erase Suspend mode. The
system can read array data using the standard read timings, except that if it reads at an address within erase-
suspended sectors, the device outputs status data. After completing a programming operation in the Erase
Suspend mode, the system may once again read array data with the same exception. See
Sector Erase andThe system must issue the reset command to re-enable the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes high, or
15.2
Reading Array Data in Burst Mode
The device is capable of very fast Burst mode read operations. The configuration register sets the read
configuration, burst order, frequency configuration, and burst length.
Upon power on, the device defaults to the asynchronous mode. In this mode, CLK, and ADV# are ignored.
The device operates like a conventional Flash device. Data is available tACC/tCE nanoseconds after address
becomes stable, CE# become asserted. The device enters the burst mode by enabling synchronous burst
reads in the configuration register. The device exits burst mode by disabling synchronous burst reads in the
the Burst mode. System reset (power on reset) terminates the Burst mode.
The device has the regular control pins, i.e. Chip Enable (CE#), Write Enable (WE#), and Output Enable
(OE#) to control normal read and write operations. Moreover, three additional control pins were added to
allow easy interface with minimal glue logic to a wide range of microprocessors / microcontrollers for high
performance Burst read capability. These additional pins are Address Valid (ADV#) and Clock (CLK). CE#,
OE#, and WE# are asynchronous (relative to CLK). The Burst mode read operation is a synchronous
operation tied to the edge of the clock. The microprocessor / microcontroller supplies only the initial address,
all subsequent addresses are automatically generated by the device with a timing defined by the
Configuration Register definition. The Burst read cycle consists of an address phase and a corresponding
data phase.
During the address phase, the Address Valid (ADV#) pin is asserted (taken Low) for one clock period.
Together with the edge of the CLK, the starting burst address is loaded into the internal Burst Address
Counter. The internal Burst Address Counter can be configured to either 2, 4, and 8 double word linear burst,
During the data phase, the first burst data is available after the initial access time delay defined in the
Configuration Register. For subsequent burst data, every rising (or falling) edge of the CLK triggers the output
data with the burst output delay and sequence defined in the Configuration Register.
device automatically powers up in the read/reset state. It is not necessary to issue a read/reset command
after power-up or hardware reset.
