PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST29EE/LE/VE020 are 256K x8 CMOS Page-Write
EEPROM manufactured with SST’s proprietary, high per-
formance CMOS SuperFlash technology. The split-gate
cell design and thick oxide tunneling injector attain better
reliability and manufacturability compared with alternate
approaches. The SST29EE/LE/VE020 write with a single
power supply. Internal Erase/Program is transparent to the
user. The SST29EE/LE/VE020 conform to JEDEC stan-
dard pinouts f or b yte-wide memories.
F eaturing high perf ormance P age-Write, the SST29EE/L E/
VE020 provide a typical Byte-Write time of 39 µsec. The
entire memory, i.e., 256 KByte, can be written page-by-
page in as little as 10 seconds, when using interface fea-
tures such as Toggle Bit or Data# Polling to indicate the
completion of a Write cycle. To protect against inadver tent
write, the SST29EE/LE/VE0 20 hav e on-chip hardw are and
Software Data Protection schemes. Designed, manufac-
tured, and tested for a wide spectrum of applications, the
SST29EE/LE/VE020 are offered with a guaranteed Page-
Write endurance of 10,000 cycles . Data retention is rated at
greater t han 100 y ears .
The SST29EE/LE/VE020 are suited for applications
that require convenient and economical updating of
program, configuration, or data memory. For all sys-
tem applications, the SST29EE/LE/ VE020 sig nificant ly
improve performance and reliability, while lowering
power consumption. The SST29EE/LE/VE020
improve flexibility while lowering the cost for program,
data, and configuration storage applications.
To meet high density, surface mount requirements, the
SST29EE/LE/VE020 are offered in 32-lead PLCC and
32-lead TSOP packages. A 600-mil, 32-pin PDIP pack-
age is also av ailab le . See Figures 1, 2, and 3 f or pinouts.
Device Operation
The SST Page-Write EEPROM offers in-circuit electrical
write capability. The SST29EE/LE/VE020 does not require
separate Erase and Program operations. The internally
timed Write cycle executes both erase and program trans-
parently to the user. The SST29EE/LE/VE020 have indus-
try standard optional Software Data Protection, which SST
recommends always to be enabled. The SST29EE/LE/
VE020 are compatible with industry standard EEPROM
pinouts and functionality.

Read
The Read operations of the SST29EE/LE/VE020 are con-
trolled b y CE# and OE#, both ha ve to be lo w f or the system
to obtain data from the outputs. CE# is used for device
selection. When CE# is high, the chip is deselected and
only standb y power is consu med. OE# is the output control
and is used to gate data from the output pins. The data bus
is in high impedance state when either CE# or OE# is high.
Refer to the Read cycle timing diagram for further details
(Figure 4).
Write
The Page-Write to th e SST29EE/LE/VE020 sh ould al w ays
use the JEDEC Standard Software Data Protection (SDP)
three-byte command sequence. The SST29EE/LE/VE020
contain the optional JEDEC approved Software Data Pro-
tection scheme. SST recommends that SDP always be
enabled, thus, the description of the Write operations will
be given using the SDP enabled format. The three-byte
SDP Enable and SDP Write commands are identical;
therefore, any time a SDP Write command is issued,
Software Data Pr otection is automatically assured. The
first time the three -byt e SDP command is giv en, the de vice
becomes SDP enab led. Subsequent issuance of the same
command b ypa sses the da ta pro tection for the page being
written. At the end of the desired Page-Write, the entire
device remains protected. For additional descriptions,
please see the application notes The Proper Use of
JEDEC Standard Soft ware Data Prot ect ion and Protecting
Against Unintentional Writes When Using Single Power
Supply Flash Memories .
The Write operation consists of three steps. Step 1 is the
three-byte load sequence for Software Data Protection.
Step 2 is the byte-load cycle to a page buffer of the
SST29EE/LE/VE020. Steps 1 and 2 use the same timing
for both operations. Step 3 is an internally controlled Write
cycle for writing the data loaded in the page buffer into the
memory arra y f or non v ola tile stor age . During both the SDP
three-byte load sequence and the byte-load cycle, the
addresses are latched by the falling edge of either CE# or
WE#, whiche v er occurs last . The data is latched b y the ris-
ing edge of either CE# or WE#, whiche v er occurs first . The
inter nal Write cy cle is initiated by the TBLCO timer after the
rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever occurs first. The
Write cycle, once initiated, will continue to completion, typi-
cally within 5 ms. See Figures 5 and 6 for WE# and CE#
controlled Page-Write cycle timing diagrams and Figures
15 and 17 f or flowcharts.
The Write operation has three functional cycles: the Soft-
ware Data Protection load sequence, the page-load cycle,
and the internal Write cycle. The Software Data Protection
consists of a specific three-byte load sequence that allows
writing to the selected page and will leave the SST29EE/
LE/VE020 protected at the end of the Page-Write. The
page-load cycle consists of loading 1 to 128 Bytes of data
into the page b uff er . The inte rnal Write cycle consists of the
TBLCO time-out and the write timer operation. During the
Write operation, the only valid reads are Data# Polling and
Toggle Bit.
The Page-Write operation allows the loading of up to 128
bytes of data into the page buffer of the SST29EE/LE/
VE020 before the initiation of the inter nal Wr ite cycle. Dur-
ing the internal Write cycle, all the data in the page b uff er is
written simultaneously into the memory array. Hence, the
P age-Write f ea ture of SST29EE/LE/VE020 allo w the entir e
memory to be written in as little as 10 seconds. During the
internal Write cycle, the host is free to perform additional
tasks, such as to fetch data from other locations in the sys-
tem to set up the write to the ne xt page. In each P age-Write
operatio n, all the bytes that are loaded into the page buffer
must have the same page address, i.e. A7 through A16. Any
byte not loaded with user data will be written to FFH.
See Figures 5 and 6 for the Page-Write cycle timing dia-
grams. If after the completion of the three-byte SDP load
sequence or the initial b yte-load cycle, the host loads a sec-
ond byte into the page buffer within a byte-load cycle time
(TBLC) of 100 µs, the SST29EE/LE/VE020 will stay in the
page-load cycle . Additional bytes are then loaded consecu-
tively. The page-load cycle will be terminated if no addi-
tional byte is loaded into the page buffer within 200 µs
(TBLCO) from the last byte-load cycle, i.e., no subsequent
WE# or CE# high-to-lo w tr ansition af ter the la st rising edge
of WE# or CE#. Data in the page b uff er can be changed by
a subsequent byte-load cycle. The page-load period can
continue indefinitely, as long as the host continues to load
the device within the byte-load cycle time of 100 µs. The
page to be loaded is determined by the page address of
the last b yte loaded.
Software Chip-Erase
The SST29EE/LE/VE020 provide a Chip-Erase operation,
which allows the user to simultaneously clear the entire
memory arra y to the “1” state. This is useful when the entire
de vice must be quickly er ased.
The Software Chip-Erase operation is initiated by using a
specific six-byte load sequence. After the load sequence,
the de vice enters into an internally timed cycle similar to the
Write cycle. During the Erase operation , the only v alid read
is Toggle Bit. See Table 4 for the load sequence, Figure 10
f or timing diagram , and Figure 19 for the flowchart.

Write Operation Status Detection
The SST29EE/LE/VE020 provide two software means to
detect the completion of a Write cycle, in order to optimize
the system Write cycle time. The software detection
includes two status bits: Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit
(DQ6). The end of write detection mode is enab led after the
rising WE# or CE# whichever occurs first, which initiates
the internal Write cycle.
The actual completion of the nonvolatile write is asynchro-
nous with the system; therefore, either a Data# Polling or
Toggle Bit read may be simultaneous with the completion
of the Write cycle. If this occurs, the system may possibly
get an erroneous result, i. e., valid data may appear to con-
flict with either DQ7 or DQ6. In order to prevent spurious
rejection, if an err oneous result occurs , the softw are routine
should include a loop to read the accessed location an
additional two (2) times. If both reads are valid, then the
device has completed the Write cycle, otherwise the rejec-
tion is v alid.
Data# Polling (DQ7)
When the SST29EE/LE/VE020 are in the internal Write
cycle, any attempt to read DQ7 of the last byte loaded dur-
ing the byte-load cycle will receive the complement of the
true data. Once the Write cycle is completed, DQ7 will
show true data. Note tha t e ven though DQ7 may have valid
data immediately following the completion of an internal
Write operation, the remaining data outputs may still be
invalid: valid data on the entire data bus will appear in sub-
sequent successive Read cycles after an interval of 1 µs.
See Figure 7 for Data# Polling timing diagram and Figure
16 f or a flowchart.
Toggle Bit (DQ6)
During the internal Write cycle, an y consecutive attempts to
read DQ6 will produce alternating ‘0s and ‘1’s, i.e., toggling
between 0 and 1. When the Write cycle is completed, the
toggling will stop. The device is then ready for the next
operation. See Figure 8 for Toggle Bit timing diagram and
Figure 16 for a flowchar t. The initial read of the Toggle Bit
will typically be a “1”.
Data Protection
The SST29EE/LE/VE020 provide both hardware and soft-
ware features to protect nonvolatile data from inadvertent
writes.
Hardware Data Protection
Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE# or CE# pulse of less than 5
ns will not initiate a Write cycle.
VDD Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is
inhibited when VDD is less than 2.5V.
Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE# low, CE# high, or WE#
high will inhibit the Wr ite operation. This prevents inadvert-
ent writes during power-up or po wer-do wn.
Software Data Protection (SDP)
The SST29EE/LE/VE020 provide the JEDEC approved
optional Software Data Protection scheme for all data alter-
ation operations, i.e., Write and Chip-Erase. With this
scheme, any Write operation requires the inclusion of a
series of three-byte load operations to precede the data
loading operat ion. The three-b yte load se quence is used t o
initiate the Write cycle, providing optimal protection from
inadvertent Write operations, e.g., during the system
power-up or power-down. The SST29EE/LE/VE020 are
shipped with the Software Dat a Protection disab led.
The software protection scheme can be enabled by apply-
ing a three-byte sequence to the device, during a page-
load cycle (Figures 5 and 6). The device will then be auto-
matically set into the data protect mode. Any subsequent
Write operation will require the preceding three-byte
sequence. See Table 4 for the specific software command
codes and Figures 5 and 6 for the timing diagrams. To set
the device into t he unprot ected mode, a six-b y te sequ ence
is required. See Table 4 f or the specific codes and Figur e 9
for the timing diagram. If a Write is attempted while SDP is
enabled the device will be in a non-accessible state for
~300 µs. SST recommends Software Data Protection
alwa ys be enabled . See Figure 17 f or flowch arts.
The SST29EE/LE/VE020 Software Data Protection is a
global command, protecting all pages in the entire memory
array once enabled (or disabled). Therefore using SDP for
a single Page-Write will enable SDP for the entire array.
Single pages by themselves cannot be SDP enabled or
disabled.
Single power supply reprogrammable nonvolatile memo-
ries may be unintentionally altered. SST strongly recom-
mends that Software Data Protection (SDP) always be
enabled . The SST29EE/LE/VE020 should be prog rammed
using the SDP command sequence . SST recommends the
SDP Disable Command Sequence not be issued to the
de vice prior to writing.

Product Identification
The Product Identification mode identifies the device
as the SST29EE/LE/VE020 and manufacturer as SST.
This mode is accessed via software. For details, see
Table 4, Figure 11 for the software ID entry and read
timing diagram, and Figure 18 for the ID entry com-
mand sequence flowchart.
Product Identification Mode Exit
In order to return to the standard Read mode , the Softw are
Product Identification mode must be exited. Exiting is
accomplished by issuing the Software ID Exit (reset) opera-
tion, which returns the device to the Read operation. The
Reset operation ma y also be used to reset the device to the
Read mode after an inadvertent transient condition that
apparently causes the device to behave abnormally, e.g.,
not read correctly. See Table 4 for software command
codes, Figure 12 for timing wavefor m, and Figure 18 for a
flowchart.
