Advanced Micro Devices 

PRELIMINARY

See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” in the

“Device Bus Operations” section for more information.

The Read Operations table provides the read parame-

ters, and Figure 13 shows the timing diagram.

Reset Command

Writing the reset command to the device resets the de-

vice to reading array data. Address bits are don’t care

for this command.

The reset command may be written between the se-

quence cycles in an erase command sequence before

erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array

data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ig-

nores reset commands until the operation is complete.

The reset command may be written between the se-

quence cycles in a program command sequence be-

fore programming begins. This resets the device to

reading array data (also applies to programming in

Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins,

however, the device ignores reset commands until the

operation is complete.

The reset command may be written between the

sequence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.

Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must

be written to return to reading array data (also applies

to autoselect during Erase Suspend).

If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,

writing the reset command returns the device to

reading array data (also applies during Erase Sus-

pend).

See the applicable “AC Characteristics” for parameters,

and to Figure 14 for the timing wavrforms.

Autoselect Command Sequence

The autoselect command sequence allows the host

system to access the manufacturer and devices codes,

and determine whether or not a sector is protected.

Table 5 shows the address and data requirements. This

method is an alternative to that shown in Table 4, which

is intended for PROM programmers and requires VID

on address bit A9.

The autoselect command sequence is initiated by

writing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect

command. The device then enters the autoselect

mode, and the system may read at any address any

number of times, without initiating another command

sequence.

A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufac-

turer code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns the

device code. A read cycle containing a sector address

(SA) and the address 02h returns 01h if that sector is

protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to Tables 2

and 3 for valid sector addresses.

The system must write the reset command to exit the

autoselect mode and return to reading array data.

Byte Program Command Sequence

Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The pro-

gram command sequence is initiated by writing two un-

lock write cycles, followed by the program set-up

command. The program address and data are written

next, which in turn initiate the Embedded Program al-

gorithm. The system is not required to provide further

controls or timings. The device automatically provides

internally generated program pulses and verifies the

programmed cell margin. Table 5 shows the address

and data requirements for the byte program command

sequence.

When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,

the device then returns to reading array data and ad-

dresses are no longer latched. The system can deter-

mine the status of the program operation by using

DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write Operation Status”

for information on these status bits.

Any commands written to the device during the

Embedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a

hardware reset immediately terminates the program-

ming operation. The Byte Program command

sequence should be reinitiated once the device has

reset to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.

Programming is allowed in any sequence and across

sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed

from a “0” back to a “1”. Attempting to do so may halt

the operation and set DQ5 to “1”, or cause the Data#

Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was suc-

cessful. However, a succeeding read will show that the

data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert a “0”

to a “1”.

Unlock Bypass Command Sequence

The unlock bypass feature allows the system to pro-

gram bytes or words to the device faster than using the

standard program command sequence. The unlock by-

pass command sequence is initiated by first writing two

unlock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle

containing the unlock bypass command, 20h. The de-

vice then enters the unlock bypass mode. A two-cycle

unlock bypass program command sequence is all that

is required to program in this mode. The first cycle in

this sequence contains the unlock bypass program

command, A0h; the second cycle contains the program

address and data. Additional data is programmed in

the same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial

two unlock cycles required in the standard program

command sequence, resulting in faster total program-

ming time. The Command Definitions table shows the

requirements for the command sequence.

During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock By-

pass Program and Unlock Bypass Reset commands

are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system
