These operations can be performed using a single low voltage (3.0 to 3.6V) supply. For fast programming and fast erasing in production lines, an optional 12 V power supply can be used to reduce the erasing and programming time. The memory is divided into 8 Uniform Blocks of 64 KBytes each, three of which are divided into 16 uniform sectors of 4 KBytes each (see Appendix A for details). All blocks and sectors can be erased independently. So, it is possible to preserve valid data while old data is erased. Blocks can be protected individually to prevent accidental program or erase commands from modifying their contents. Program and erase commands are written to the Command Interface of the memory. An onchip Program/Erase Controller simplifies the process of programming or erasing the memory by taking care of all of the special operations that are required to update the memory contents. The end of a program or erase operation can be detected and any error conditions identified. The command set to control the memory is consistent with the JEDEC standards. Two different bus interfaces are supported by the memory: The primary interface, the FWH/LPC Interface, uses Intel's proprietary Firmware Hub (FWH) and Low Pin Count (LPC) protocol. This has been designed to remove the need for the ISA bus in current PC Chipsets. The M50FLW040 acts as the PC BIOS on the Low Pin Count bus for these PC Chipsets. The secondary interface, the Address/Address Multiplexed (or A/A Mux) Interface, is designed to be compatible with current Flash Programmers, for production line programming prior to fitting the device in a PC Motherboard. The memory is supplied with all the bits erased (set to '1'). In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers the M50FLW040A and M50FLW040B in ECOPACK(R) packages. ECOPACK(R) packages are Lead-free and RoHS compliant. ECOPACK is an ST trademark. ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com. 7/64 Summary description Figure 1.

Also see Appendix A, Table 34 and Table 35 for a full listing of the Block Addresses. 12/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B 2 Signal descriptions Signal descriptions There are two distinct bus interfaces available on this device. The active interface is selected before power-up, or during Reset, using the Interface Configuration Pin, IC. The signals for each interface are discussed in the Firmware Hub/low-pin count (FWH/LPC) signal descriptions section and the Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) signal descriptions section, respectively, while the supply signals are discussed in the Supply signal descriptions section. 2.1 Firmware Hub/low-pin count (FWH/LPC) signal descriptions Please see Figure 1 and Table 1. 2.1.1 Input/Output communications (FWH0/LAD0-FWH3/LAD3) All Input and Output Communications with the memory take place on these pins. Addresses and Data for Bus Read and Bus Write operations are encoded on these pins. 2.1.2 Input communication frame (FWH4/LFRAME) The Input Communication Frame (FWH4/LFRAME) signal indicates the start of a bus operation. When Input Communication Frame is Low, VIL, on the rising edge of the Clock, a new bus operation is initiated. If Input Communication Frame is Low, VIL, during a bus operation then the operation is aborted. When Input Communication Frame is High, VIH, the current bus operation is either proceeding or the bus is idle. 2.1.3 Identification inputs (ID0-ID3) Up to 16 memories can be addressed on a bus, in the Firmware Hub (FWH) mode. The Identification Inputs allow each device to be given a unique 4-bit address. A `0' is signified on a pin by driving it Low, VIL, or leaving it floating (since there is an internal pull-down resistor, with a value of RIL). A `1' is signified on a pin by driving it High, VIH (and there will be a leakage current of ILI2 through the pin). By convention, the boot memory must have address `0000', and all additional memories are given addresses, allocated sequentially, from `0001'. In the Low Pin Count (LPC) mode, the identification Inputs (ID0-ID2) can address up to 8 memories on a bus. In the LPC mode, the ID3 pin is Reserved for Future Use (RFU). The value on address A19-A21 is compared to the hardware strapping on the ID0-ID2 pins to select the memory that is being addressed. For an address bit to be `1', the corresponding ID pin can be left floating or driven Low, VIL (again, with the internal pull-down resistor, with a value of RIL). For an address bit to be `0', the corresponding ID pin must be driven High, VIH (and there will be a leakage current of ILI2 through the pin, as specified in Table 24). For details, see Table 5. 13/64 Signal descriptions 2.1.4 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B General-purpose inputs (GPI0-GPI4) The General Purpose Inputs can be used as digital inputs for the CPU to read, with their contents being available in the General Purpose Inputs Register. The pins must have stable data throughout the entire cycle that reads the General Purpose Input Register. These pins should be driven Low, VIL, or High, VIH, and must not be left floating. 2.1.5 Interface Configuration (IC) The Interface Configuration input selects whether the FWH/LPC interface or the Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) Interface is used. The state of the Interface Configuration, IC, should not be changed during operation of the memory device, except for selecting the desired interface in the period before power-up or during a Reset. To select the FWH/LPC Interface, the Interface Configuration pin should be left to float or driven Low, VIL. To select the Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) Interface, the pin should be driven High, VIH. An internal pull-down resistor is included with a value of RIL; there will be a leakage current of ILI2 through each pin when pulled to VIH. 2.1.6 Interface Reset (RP) The Interface Reset (RP) input is used to reset the device. When Interface Reset (RP) is driven Low, VIL, the memory is in Reset mode (the outputs go to high impedance, and the current consumption is minimized). When RP is driven High, VIH, the device is in normal operation. After exiting Reset mode, the memory enters Read mode. 2.1.7 CPU Reset (INIT) The CPU Reset, INIT, signal is used to Reset the device when the CPU is reset. It behaves identically to Interface Reset, RP, and the internal Reset line is the logical OR (electrical AND) of RP and INIT. 2.1.8 Clock (CLK) The Clock, CLK, input is used to clock the signals in and out of the Input/Output Communication Pins, FWH0/LAD0-FWH3/LAD3. The Clock conforms to the PCI specification. 2.1.9 Top Block Lock (TBL) The Top Block Lock input is used to prevent the Top Block (Block 7) from being changed. When Top Block Lock, TBL, is driven Low, VIL, program and erase operations in the Top Block have no effect, regardless of the state of the Lock Register. When Top Block Lock, TBL, is driven High, VIH, the protection of the Block is determined by the Lock Register. The state of Top Block Lock, TBL, does not affect the protection of the Main Blocks (Blocks 0 to 6). For details, see Appendix A. Top Block Lock, TBL, must be set prior to a program or erase operation being initiated, and must not be changed until the operation has completed, otherwise unpredictable results may occur. Similarly, unpredictable behavior is possible if WP is changed during Program or Erase Suspend, and care should be taken to avoid this. 14/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B 2.1.10 Signal descriptions Write Protect (WP) The Write Protect input is used to prevent the Main Blocks (Blocks 0 to 6) from being changed. When Write Protect, WP, is driven Low, VIL, Program and Erase operations in the Main Blocks have no effect, regardless of the state of the Lock Register. When Write Protect, WP, is driven High, VIH, the protection of the Block is determined by the Lock Register. The state of Write Protect, WP, does not affect the protection of the Top Block (Block 7). For details, see Appendix A. Write Protect, WP, must be set prior to a Program or Erase operation is initiated, and must not be changed until the operation has completed otherwise unpredictable results may occur. Similarly, unpredictable behavior is possible if WP is changed during Program or Erase Suspend, and care should be taken to avoid this. 2.1.11 Reserved for Future Use (RFU) These pins do not presently have assigned functions. They must be left disconnected, except for ID3 (when in LPC mode) which can be left connected. The electrical characteristics for this signal are as described in the "Identification inputs (ID0-ID3)" section. 2.2 Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) signal descriptions Please see Figure 2 and Table 2. 2.2.1 Address inputs (A0-A10) The Address Inputs are used to set the Row Address bits (A0-A10) and the Column Address bits (A11-A18). They are latched during any bus operation by the Row/Column Address Select input, RC. 2.2.2 Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7) The Data Inputs/Outputs hold the data that is to be written to or read from the memory. They output the data stored at the selected address during a Bus Read operation. During Bus Write operations they carry the commands that are sent to the Command Interface of the internal state machine. The Data Inputs/Outputs, DQ0-DQ7, are latched during a Bus Write operation. 2.2.3 Output Enable (G) The Output Enable signal, G, controls the output buffers during a Bus Read operation. 2.2.4 Write Enable (W) The Write Enable signal, W, controls the Bus Write operation of the Command Interface. 2.2.5 Row/Column Address Select (RC) The Row/Column Address Select input selects whether the Address Inputs are to be latched into the Row Address bits (A0-A10) or the Column Address bits (A11-A18). The Row Address bits are latched on the falling edge of RC whereas the Column Address bits are latched on its rising edge. 15/64 Signal descriptions 2.2.6 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Ready/Busy output (RB) The Ready/Busy pin gives the status of the device's Program/Erase Controller. When Ready/Busy is Low, VOL, the device is busy with a program or erase operation, and it will not accept any additional program or erase command (except for the Program/Erase Suspend command). When Ready/Busy is High, VOH, the memory is ready for any read, program or erase operation. 2.3 Supply signal descriptions The Supply Signals are the same for both interfaces. 2.3.1 VCC supply voltage The VCC Supply Voltage supplies the power for all operations (read, program, erase, etc.). The Command Interface is disabled when the VCC Supply Voltage is less than the Lockout Voltage, VLKO. This is to prevent Bus Write operations from accidentally damaging the data during power up, power down and power surges. If the Program/Erase Controller is programming or erasing during this time, the operation aborts, and the memory contents that were being altered will be invalid. After VCC becomes valid, the Command Interface is reset to Read mode. A 0.1F capacitor should be connected between the VCC Supply Voltage pins and the VSS Ground pin to decouple the current surges from the power supply. Both VCC Supply Voltage pins must be connected to the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry the currents required during program and erase operations. 2.3.2 VPP optional supply voltage The VPP Optional Supply Voltage pin is used to select the Fast Program (see the Quadruple Byte Program command description in A/A Mux interface and the Double/Quadruple Byte Program command description in FWH mode) and Fast Erase options of the memory. When VPP = VCC, program and erase operations take place as normal. When VPP = VPPH, Fast Program and Erase operations are used. Any other voltage input to VPP will result in undefined behavior, and should not be used. VPP should not be set to VPPH for more than 80 hours during the life of the memory. 2.3.3 VSS ground VSS is the reference for all the voltage measurements. 16/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Table 5.

The Firmware Hub/Low Pin Count (FWH/LPC) Interface offers full functionality, while the Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) Interface is orientated for erase and program operations. See the sections below, The Firmware hub/low-pin count (FWH/LPC) bus operations and Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) bus operations, for details of the bus operations on each interface. 3.1 Firmware hub/low-pin count (FWH/LPC) bus operations The M50FLW040 automatically identifies the type of FWH/LPC protocol from the first received nibble (START nibble) and decodes the data that it receives afterwards, according to the chosen FWH or LPC mode. The Firmware Hub/Low Pin Count (FWH/LPC) Interface consists of four data signals (FWH0/LAD0-FWH3/LAD3), one control line (FWH4/LFRAME) and a clock (CLK). Protection against accidental or malicious data corruption is achieved using two additional signals (TBL and WP). And two reset signals (RP and INIT) are available to put the memory into a known state. The data, control and clock signals are designed to be compatible with PCI electrical specifications. The interface operates with clock speeds of up to 33MHz. The following operations can be performed using the appropriate bus cycles: Bus Read, Bus Write, Standby, Reset and Block Protection. 3.1.1 Bus Read Bus Read operations are used to read from the memory cells, specific registers in the Command Interface or Firmware Hub/Low Pin Count Registers. A valid Bus Read operation starts on the rising edge of the Clock signal when the Input Communication Frame, FWH4/LFRAME, is Low, VIL, and the correct Start cycle is present on FWH0/LAD0FWH3/LAD3. On subsequent clock cycles the Host will send to the memory: ID Select, Address and other control bits on FWH0-FWH3 in FWH mode. Type+Dir Address and other control bits on LAD0-LAD3 in LPC mode. The device responds by outputting Sync data until the wait states have elapsed, followed by Data0-Data3 and Data4-Data7. See Table 6 and Table 8, and Figure 6 and Figure 8, for a description of the Field definitions for each clock cycle of the transfer. See Table 26, and Figure 14, for details on the timings of the signals. 18/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B 3.1.2 Bus operations Bus Write Bus Write operations are used to write to the Command Interface or Firmware Hub/Low Pin Count Registers. A valid Bus Write operation starts on the rising edge of the Clock signal when Input Communication Frame, FWH4/LFRAME, is Low, VIL, and the correct Start cycle is present on FWH0/LAD0-FWH3/LAD3. On subsequent Clock cycles the Host will send to the memory: ID Select, Address, other control bits, Data0-Data3 and Data4-Data7 on FWH0-FWH3 in FWH mode. Cycle Type + Dir, Address, other control bits, Data0-Data3 and Data4-Data7 on LAD0LAD3. The device responds by outputting Sync data until the wait states have elapsed. See Table 7 and Table 9, and Figure 7 and Figure 9, for a description of the Field definitions for each clock cycle of the transfer. See Table 26, and Figure 14, for details on the timings of the signals. 3.1.3 Bus Abort The Bus Abort operation can be used to abort the current bus operation immediately. A Bus Abort occurs when FWH4/LFRAME is driven Low, VIL, during the bus operation. The device puts the Input/Output Communication pins, FWH0/LAD0-FWH3/LAD3, to high impedance. Note that, during a Bus Write operation, the Command Interface starts executing the command as soon as the data is fully received. A Bus Abort during the final TAR cycles is not guaranteed to abort the command. The bus, however, will be released immediately. 3.1.4 Standby When FWH4/LFRAME is High, VIH, the device is put into Standby mode, where FWH0/LAD0-FWH3/LAD3 are put into a high-impedance state and the Supply Current is reduced to the Standby level, ICC1. 3.1.5 Reset During the Reset mode, all internal circuits are switched off, the device is deselected, and the outputs are put to high-impedance. The device is in the Reset mode when Interface Reset, RP, or CPU Reset, INIT, is driven Low, VIL. RP or INIT must be held Low, VIL, for tPLPH. The memory reverts to the Read mode upon return from the Reset mode, and the Lock Registers return to their default states regardless of their states before Reset. If RP or INIT goes Low, VIL, during a Program or Erase operation, the operation is aborted and the affected memory cells no longer contain valid data. The device can take up to tPLRH to abort a Program or Erase operation. 3.1.6 Block Protection Block Protection can be forced using the signals Top Block Lock, TBL, and Write Protect, WP, regardless of the state of the Lock Registers. 19/64 Bus operations 3.2 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) bus operations The Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) Interface has a more traditional-style interface. The signals consist of a multiplexed address signals (A0-A10), data signals, (DQ0-DQ7) and three control signals (RC, G, W). An additional signal, RP, can be used to reset the memory. The Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) Interface is included for use by Flash Programming equipment for faster factory programming. Only a subset of the features available to the Firmware Hub (FWH)/Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface are available; these include all the Commands but exclude the Security features and other registers. The following operations can be performed using the appropriate bus cycles: Bus Read, Bus Write, Output Disable and Reset. When the Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) Interface is selected, all the blocks are unprotected. It is not possible to protect any blocks through this interface. 3.2.1 Bus Read Bus Read operations are used to read the contents of the Memory Array, the Electronic Signature or the Status Register. A valid Bus Read operation begins by latching the Row Address and Column Address signals into the memory using the Address Inputs, A0-A10, and the Row/Column Address Select RC. Write Enable (W) and Interface Reset (RP) must be High, VIH, and Output Enable, G, Low, VIL. The Data Inputs/Outputs will output the value, according to the timing constraints specified in Figure 16, and Table 28. 3.2.2 Bus Write Bus Write operations are used to write to the Command Interface. A valid Bus Write operation begins by latching the Row Address and Column Address signals into the memory using the Address Inputs, A0-A10, and the Row/Column Address Select RC. The data should be set up on the Data Inputs/Outputs; Output Enable, G, and Interface Reset, RP, must be High, VIH; and Write Enable, W, must be Low, VIL. The Data Inputs/Outputs are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable, W. See Figure 17, and Table 29, for details of the timing requirements. 3.2.3 Output Disable The data outputs are high-impedance when the Output Enable, G, is at VIH. 3.2.4 Reset During the Reset mode, all internal circuits are switched off, the device is deselected, and the outputs are put at high-impedance. The device is in the Reset mode when RP is Low, VIL. RP must be held Low, VIL for tPLPH. If RP goes Low, VIL, during a Program or Erase operation, the operation is aborted, and the affected memory cells no longer contain valid data. The memory can take up to tPLRH to abort a Program or Erase operation. 20/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Table 6.

Commands consist of one or more sequential Bus Write operations. An internal Program/Erase Controller handles all timings, and verifies the correct execution of the Program and Erase commands. The Program/Erase Controller provides a Status Register whose output may be read at any time to monitor the progress or the result of the operation. The Command Interface reverts to the Read mode when power is first applied, or when exiting from Reset. Command sequences must be followed exactly. Any invalid combination of commands will be ignored. See Table 11 for the available Command Codes. Table 11. Command codes Hexadecimal Command 10h Alternative Program Setup, Double/Quadruple Byte Program Setup, Chip Erase Confirm 20h Block Erase Setup 32h Sector Erase Setup 40h Program, Double/Quadruple Byte Program Setup 50h Clear Status Register 70h Read Status Register 80h Chip Erase Setup 90h Read Electronic Signature B0h Program/Erase Suspend D0h Program/Erase Resume, Block Erase Confirm, Sector Erase Confirm FFh Read Memory Array The following commands are the basic commands used to read from, write to, and configure the device. The following text descriptions should be read in conjunction with Table 13. 4.0.1 Read Memory Array command The Read Memory Array command returns the device to its Read mode, where it behaves like a ROM or EPROM. One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Read Memory Array command and return the device to Read mode. Once the command is issued, the device remains in Read mode until another command is issued. From Read mode, Bus Read operations access the memory array. If the Program/Erase Controller is executing a Program or Erase operation, the device will not accept any Read Memory Array commands until the operation has completed. For a multibyte read, in the FWH mode, the address, that was transmitted with the command, will be automatically aligned, according to the MSIZE granularity. For example, if MSIZE=7, regardless of any values that are provided for A6-A0, the first output will be from the location for which A6-A0 are all `0's. 26/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B 4.0.2 Command interface Read Status Register command The Read Status Register command is used to read the Status Register. One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Read Status Register command. Once the command is issued, subsequent Bus Read operations read the Status Register until another command is issued. See the section on the Status Register for details on the definitions of the Status Register bits. 4.0.3 Read Electronic Signature command The Read Electronic Signature command is used to read the Manufacturer Code and the Device Code. One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Read Electronic Signature command. Once the command is issued, the Manufacturer Code and Device Code can be read using conventional Bus Read operations, and the addresses shown in Table 12. Table 12. Electronic signature codes Code Manufacturer Code Device Code M50FLW040A M50FLW040B Address(1) Data ...00000h 20h ...00001h 08h 28h 1. A22 should be `1', and the ID lines and upper address bits should be set according to the rules illustrated in Table 5, Table 6 and Table 8. The device remains in this mode until another command is issued. That is, subsequent Bus Read operations continue to read the Manufacturer Code, or the Device Code, and not the Memory Array. 4.0.4 Program command The Program command can be used to program a value to one address in the memory array at a time. The Program command works by changing appropriate bits from `1' to `0'. (It cannot change a bit from `0' back to `1'. Attempting to do so will not modify the value of the bit. Only the Erase command can set bits back to `1'. and does so for all of the bits in the block.) Two Bus Write operations are required to issue the Program command. The second Bus Write cycle latches the address and data, and starts the Program/Erase Controller. Once the command is issued, subsequent Bus Read operations read the value in the Status Register. (See the section on the Status Register for details on the definitions of the Status Register bits.) If the address falls in a protected block, the Program operation will abort, the data in the memory array will not be changed, and the Status Register will indicate the error. During the Program operation, the memory will only accept the Read Status Register command and the Program/Erase Suspend command. All other commands are ignored. See Figure 21, for a suggested flowchart on using the Program command. Typical Program times are given in Table 18. 27/64 Command interface 4.0.5 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Quadruple Byte Program command (A/A Mux interface) The Quadruple Byte Program Command is used to program four adjacent Bytes in the memory array at a time. The four Bytes must differ only for addresses A0 and A1. Programming should not be attempted when VPP is not at VPPH. Five Bus Write operations are required to issue the command. The second, third and fourth Bus Write cycles latch the respective addresses and data of the first, second and third Bytes in the Program/Erase Controller. The fifth Bus Write cycle latches the address and data of the fourth Byte and starts the Program/Erase Controller. Once the command is issued, subsequent Bus Read operations read the value in the Status Register. (See the section on the Status Register for details on the definitions of the Status Register bits.) During the Quadruple Byte Program operation, the memory will only accept the Read Status Register and Program/Erase Suspend commands. All other commands are ignored. Note that the Quadruple Byte Program command cannot change a bit set to `0' back to `1' and attempting to do so will not modify its value. One of the erase commands must be used to set all of the bits in the block to `1'. See Figure 23, for a suggested flowchart on using the Quadruple Byte Program command. Typical Quadruple Byte Program times are given in Table 18. 4.0.6 Double/Quadruple Byte Program command (FWH mode) The Double/Quadruple Byte Program Command can be used to program two/four adjacent Bytes to the memory array at a time. The two Bytes must differ only for address A0; the four Bytes must differ only for addresses A0 and A1. Two Bus Write operations are required to issue the command. The second Bus Write cycle latches the start address and two/four data Bytes and starts the Program/Erase Controller. Once the command is issued, subsequent Bus Read operations read the contents of the Status Register. (See the section on the Status Register for details on the definitions of the Status Register bits.) During the Double/Quadruple Byte Program operation the memory will only accept the Read Status register and Program/Erase Suspend commands. All other commands are ignored. Note that the Double/Quadruple Byte Program command cannot change a bit set to `0' back to `1' and attempting to do so will not modify its value. One of the erase commands must be used to set all of the bits in the block to `1'. See Figure 22, for a suggested flowchart on using the Double/Quadruple Byte Program command. Typical Double/Quadruple Byte Program times are given in Table 18. 28/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B 4.0.7 Command interface Chip Erase command The Chip Erase Command erases the entire memory array, setting all of the bits to `1'. All previous data in the memory array are lost. This command, though, is only available under the A/A Mux interface. Two Bus Write operations are required to issue the command, and to start the Program/Erase Controller. Once the command is issued, subsequent Bus Read operations read the contents of the Status Register. (See the section on the Status Register for details on the definitions of the Status Register bits.) Erasing should not be attempted when VPP is not at VPPH, otherwise the result is uncertain. During the Chip Erase operation, the memory will only accept the Read Status Register command. All other commands are ignored. See Figure 25, for a suggested flowchart on using the Chip Erase command. Typical Chip Erase times are given in Table 18. 4.0.8 Block Erase command The Block Erase command is used to erase a block, setting all of the bits to `1'. All previous data in the block are lost. Two Bus Write operations are required to issue the command. The second Bus Write cycle latches the block address and starts the Program/Erase Controller. Once the command is issued, subsequent Bus Read operations read the contents of the Status Register. (See the section on the Status Register for details on the definitions of the Status Register bits.) If the block is protected (FWH/LPC only) then the Block Erase operation will abort, the data in the block will not be changed, and the Status Register will indicate the error. During the Block Erase operation the memory will only accept the Read Status Register and Program/Erase Suspend commands. All other commands are ignored. See Figure 26, for a suggested flowchart on using the Block Erase command. Typical Block Erase times are given in Table 18. 4.0.9 Sector Erase command The Sector Erase command is used to erase a Uniform 4-KByte Sector, setting all of the bits to `1'. All previous data in the sector are lost. Two Bus Write operations are required to issue the command. The second Bus Write cycle latches the Sector address and starts the Program/Erase Controller. Once the command is issued, subsequent Bus Read operations read the contents of the Status Register. (See the section on the Status Register for details on the definitions of the Status Register bits.) If the Block to which the Sector belongs is protected (FWH/LPC only) then the Sector Erase operation will abort, the data in the Sector will not be changed, and the Status Register will indicate the error. During the Sector Erase operation the memory will only accept the Read Status Register and Program/Erase Suspend commands. All other commands are ignored. See Figure 26, for a suggested flowchart on using the Sector Erase Command. Typical Sector Erase times are given in Table 18. 29/64 Command interface 4.0.10 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Clear Status Register command The Clear Status Register command is used to reset Status Register bits SR1, SR3, SR4 and SR5 to `0'. One Bus Write is required to issue the command. Once the command is issued, the device returns to its previous mode, subsequent Bus Read operations continue to output the data from the same area, as before. Once set, these Status Register bits remain set. They do not automatically return to `0', for example, when a new program or erase command is issued. If an error has occurred, it is essential that any error bits in the Status Register are cleared, by issuing the Clear Status Register command, before attempting a new program or erase command. 4.0.11 Program/Erase Suspend command The Program/Erase Suspend command is used to pause the Program/Erase Controller during a program or Sector/Block Erase operation. One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the command. Once the command has been issued, it is necessary to poll the Program/Erase Controller Status bit until the Program/Erase Controller has paused. No other commands are accepted until the Program/Erase Controller has paused. After the Program/Erase Controller has paused, the device continues to output the contents of the Status Register until another command is issued. During the polling period, between issuing the Program/Erase Suspend command and the Program/Erase Controller pausing, it is possible for the operation to complete. Once the Program/Erase Controller Status bit indicates that the Program/Erase Controller is no longer active, the Program Suspend Status bit or the Erase Suspend Status bit can be used to determine if the operation has completed or is suspended. During Program/Erase Suspend, the Read Memory Array, Read Status Register, Read Electronic Signature and Program/Erase Resume commands will be accepted by the Command Interface. Additionally, if the suspended operation was Sector Erase or Block Erase then the program command will also be accepted. However, it should be noted that only the Sectors/Blocks not being erased may be read or programmed correctly. See Figure 24, and Figure 27, for suggested flowcharts on using the Program/Erase Suspend command. Typical times and delay durations are given in Table 18. 4.0.12 Program/Erase Resume command The Program/Erase Resume command can be used to restart the Program/Erase Controller after a Program/Erase Suspend has paused it. One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the command. Once the command is issued, subsequent Bus Read operations read the contents of the Status Register. 30/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Table 13.

For all commands: the first cycle is a Write. For the first three commands (Read Memory, Read Status Register, Read Electronic Signature), the second and next cycles are READ. For the remaining commands, the second and next cycles are WRITE. BA = Any address in the Block, SA = Any address in the Sector. X = Don't Care, except that A22=1 (for FWH or LPC mode), and A21, A20 and A19 are set according to the rules shown in Table 5 (for LPC mode) 2. After a Read Memory Array command, read the memory as normal until another command is issued. 3. "1+" indicates that there is one write cycle, followed by any number of read cycles. 4. Configuration registers are accessed directly without using any specific command code. A single Bus Write or Bus Read Operation is all that is needed. 5. After a Read Status Register command, read the Status Register as normal until another command is issued. 6. After the erase and program commands read the Status Register until the command completes and another command is issued. 7. Multiple Byte Program PA= start address, A0 (Double Byte Program) A0 and A1 (Quadruple Byte Program) are Dont Care. PD is two or four Bytes depending on Msize code. 8. Addresses A1, A2, A3 and A4 must be consecutive addresses, differing only in address bits A0 and A1. 9. After the Clear Status Register command bits SR1, SR3, SR4 and SR5 in the Status Register are reset to `0'. 10. While an operation is being Program/Erase Suspended, the Read Memory Array, Read Status Register, Program (during Erase Suspend) and Program/Erase Resume commands can be issued. 11. The Program/Erase Resume command causes the Program/Erase suspended operation to resume. Read the Status Register until the Program/Erase Controller completes and the memory returns to Read Mode. 12. Do not use Invalid or Reserved commands. 31/64 Status Register 5 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Status Register The Status Register provides information on the current or previous Program or Erase operation. The bits in the Status Register convey specific information about the progress of the operation. To read the Status Register, the Read Status Register command can be issued. The Status Register is automatically read after Program, Erase and Program/Erase Resume commands are issued. The Status Register can be read from any address. The text descriptions, below, should be read in conjunction with Table 14, where the meanings of the Status Register bits are summarized. 5.1 Program/Erase Controller status (Bit SR7) This bit indicates whether the Program/Erase Controller is active or inactive. When the Program/Erase Controller Status bit is `0', the Program/Erase Controller is active; when the bit is `1', the Program/Erase Controller is inactive. The Program/Erase Controller Status is `0' immediately after a Program/Erase Suspend command is issued, until the Program/Erase Controller pauses. After the Program/Erase Controller pauses, the bit is `1'. The end of a Program and Erase operation can be found by polling the Program/Erase Controller Status bit can be polled. The other bits in the Status Register should not be tested until the Program/Erase Controller has completed the operation (and the Program/Erase Controller Status bit is `1'). After the Program/Erase Controller has completed its operation, the Erase Status, Program Status, VPP Status and Block Protection Status bits should be tested for errors. 5.2 Erase Suspend status (Bit SR6) This bit indicates that an Erase operation has been suspended, and that it is waiting to be resumed. The Erase Suspend Status should only be considered valid when the Program/Erase Controller Status bit is `1' (Program/Erase Controller inactive). After a Program/Erase Suspend command is issued, the memory may still complete the operation rather than entering the Suspend mode. When the Erase Suspend Status bit is `0', the Program/Erase Controller is active or has completed its operation. When the bit is `1', a Program/Erase Suspend command has been issued and the memory is waiting for a Program/Erase Resume command. When a Program/Erase Resume command is issued, the Erase Suspend Status bit returns to `0'. 32/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B 5.3 Status Register Erase status (Bit SR5) This bit indicates if a problem has occurred during the erasing of a Sector or Block. The Erase Status bit should be read once the Program/Erase Controller Status bit is `1' (Program/Erase Controller inactive). When the Erase Status bit is `0', the memory has successfully verified that the Sector/Block has been erased correctly. When the Erase Status bit is `1', the Program/Erase Controller has applied the maximum number of pulses to the Sector/Block and still failed to verify that the Sector/Block has been erased correctly. Once the Erase Status bit is set to `1', it can only be reset to `0' by a Clear Status Register command, or by a hardware reset. If it is set to `1', it should be reset before a new Program or Erase command is issued, otherwise the new command will appear to have failed, too. 5.3.1 Program status (Bit SR4) This bit indicates if a problem has occurred during the programming of a byte. The Program Status bit should be read once the Program/Erase Controller Status bit is `1' (Program/Erase Controller inactive). When the Program Status bit is `0', the memory has successfully verified that the byte has been programmed correctly. When the Program Status bit is `1', the Program/Erase Controller has applied the maximum number of pulses to the byte and still failed to verify that the byte has been programmed correctly. Once the Program Status bit is set to `1', it can only be reset to `0' by a Clear Status Register command, or by a hardware reset. If it is set to `1', it should be reset before a new Program or Erase command is issued, otherwise the new command will appear to have failed, too. 5.3.2 VPP status (Bit SR3) This bit indicates whether an invalid voltage was detected on the VPP pin at the beginning of a Program or Erase operation. The VPP pin is only sampled at the beginning of the operation. Indeterminate results can occur if VPP becomes invalid during a Program or Erase operation. Once the VPP Status bit set to `1', it can only be reset to `0' by a Clear Status Register command, or by a hardware reset. If it is set to `1', it should be reset before a new Program or Erase command is issued, otherwise the new command will appear to have failed, too. 5.3.3 Program Suspend status (Bit SR2) This bit indicates that a Program operation has been suspended, and that it is waiting to be resumed. The Program Suspend Status should only be considered valid when the Program/Erase Controller Status bit is `1' (Program/Erase Controller inactive). After a Program/Erase Suspend command is issued, the memory may still complete the operation instead of entering the Suspend mode. When the Program Suspend Status bit is `0', the Program/Erase Controller is active, or has completed its operation. When the bit is `1', a Program/Erase Suspend command has been issued and the memory is waiting for a Program/Erase Resume command. When a Program/Erase Resume command is issued, the Program Suspend Status bit returns to `0'. 33/64 Status Register 5.3.4 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040B Block Protection status (Bit SR1) The Block Protection Status bit can be used to identify if the Program or Erase operation has tried to modify the contents of a protected block. When the Block Protection Status bit is to `0', no Program or Erase operations have been attempted to protected blocks since the last Clear Status Register command or hardware reset. When the Block Protection Status bit is `1', a Program or Erase operation has been attempted on a protected block. Once it is set to `1', the Block Protection Status bit can only be reset to `0' by a Clear Status Register command or by a hardware reset. If it is set to `1', it should be reset before a new Program or Erase command is issued, otherwise the new command will appear to have failed, too. Using the A/A Mux Interface, the Block Protection Status bit is always `0'. 5.3.5 Reserved (Bit SR0) Bit 0 of the Status Register is reserved. Its value should be masked. Table 14.

For Program operations during Erase Suspend Bit SR6 is `1', otherwise Bit SR6 is `0'. 34/64 M50FLW040A, M50FLW040BFirmware hub/low pin count (FWH/LPC) interface Configuration Reg- 6 Firmware hub/low pin count (FWH/LPC) interface Configuration Registers When the Firmware Hub Interface/Low Pin Count is selected, several additional registers can be accessed. These registers control the protection status of the Blocks, read the General Purpose Input pins and identify the memory using the manufacturer code. See Table 15 for the memory map of the Configuration Registers. The Configuration registers are accessed directly without using any specific command code. A single Bus Write or Bus Read Operation, with the appropriate address (including A22=0), is all that is needed. 6.1 Lock Registers The Lock Registers control the protection status of the Blocks. Each Block has its own Lock Register. Three bits within each Lock Register control the protection of each block: the Write Lock Bit, the Read Lock Bit and the Lock Down Bit. The Lock Registers can be read and written. Care should be taken, though, when writing. Once the Lock Down Bit is set, `1', further modifications to the Lock Register cannot be made until it is cleared again by a reset or power-up. See Table 16 for details on the bit definitions of the Lock Registers. 6.1.1 Write Lock The Write Lock Bit determines whether the contents of the Block can be modified (using the Program or Erase Command). When the Write Lock Bit is set, `1', the block is write protected - any operations that attempt to change the data in the block will fail, and the Status Register will report the error. When the Write Lock Bit is reset, `0', the block is not write protected by the Lock Register, and may be modified, unless it is write protected by some other means. If the Top Block Lock signal, TBL, is Low, VIL, then the Top Block (Block 7) is write protected, and cannot be modified. Similarly, if the Write Protect signal, WP, is Low, VIL, then the Main Blocks (Blocks 0 to 6) are write protected, and cannot be modified. After power-up, or reset, the Write Lock Bit is always set to `1' (write-protected). 6.1.2 Read Lock The Read Lock bit determines whether the contents of the Block can be read (in Read mode). When the Read Lock Bit is set, `1', the block is read protected - any operation that attempts to read the contents of the block will read 00h instead. When the Read Lock Bit is reset, `0', read operations are allowed in the Block, and return the value of the data that had been programmed in the block. After power-up, or reset, the Read Lock Bit is always reset to `0' (not read-protected). 35/64 Firmware hub/low pin count (FWH/LPC) interface Configuration Registers 6.1.3 M50FLW040A, Lock Down The Lock Down Bit provides a mechanism for protecting software data from simple hacking and malicious attack. When the Lock Down Bit is set, `1', further modification to the Write Lock, Read Lock and Lock Down Bits cannot be performed. A reset, or power-up, is required before changes to these bits can be made. When the Lock Down Bit is reset, `0', the Write Lock, Read Lock and Lock Down Bits can be changed. Table 15.
