Description M29W800DT, M29W800DB

1 Description

The M29W800D is a 8-Mbit (1 Mbit x 8 or 512 Kbits x 16) non-volatile memory that can be

read, erased and reprogrammed. These operations can be performed using a single low

voltage (2.7 to 3.6 V) supply. On power-up the memory defaults to its read mode where it

can be read in the same way as a ROM or EPROM.

The memory is divided into blocks that can be erased independently so it is possible to

preserve valid data while old data is erased. Each block can be protected independently to

prevent accidental program or erase commands from modifying the memory. Program and

erase commands are written to the command interface of the memory. An on-chip

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 required to control the memory is consistent with JEDEC

standards.

The blocks in the memory are asymmetrically arranged, see Fi gure 5: Blo ck addre sses (x 8)

and Figure 6: Block addresses (x 16). The first or last 64 Kbytes have been divided into four

additional blocks. The 16-Kbyte boot block can be used for small initialization code to start

the microprocessor, the two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks can be used for parameter storage

and the remaining 32-Kbyte is a small main block where the application may be stored.

Chip Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable signals control the bus operation of the

memory. They allow simple connection to most microprocessors, often without additional

logic.

The memory is offered in SO44, TSOP48 (12 x 20 mm) and TFBGA48 6 x 8 mm (0.8 mm

pitch) packages. The memory is supplied with all the bits erased (set to ’1’).

2 Signal descriptions

See Figure 1: Logic diagram and Table 1: Si gnal names for a brief overview of the signals

connected to this device.

2.1 Address inputs (A0-A18)

The address inputs select the cells in the memory array to access during bus read

operations. During bus write operations they control the commands sent to the command

interface of the internal state machine.

2.2 Data inputs/outputs (DQ0-DQ7)

The data inputs/outputs output the data stored at the selected address during a bus read

operation. During bus write operations they represent the commands sent to the command

interface of the internal state machine.

2.3 Data inputs/outputs (DQ8-DQ14)

The data inputs/outputs output the data stored at the selected address during a bus read

operation when BYTE is High, VIH. When BYTE is Low, VIL, these pins are not used and are

high impedance. During bus write operations the command register does not use these bits.

When reading the status register these bits should be ignored.

2.4 Data input/output or address input (DQ15A-1)

When BYTE is High, VIH, this pin behaves as a data input/output pin (as DQ8-DQ14). When

BYTE is Low, VIL, this pin behaves as an address pin; DQ15A–1 Low will select the LSB of

the word on the other addresses, DQ15A–1 High will select the MSB. Throughout the text

consider references to the data input/output to include this pin when BYTE is High and

references to the address inputs to include this pin when BYTE is Low except when stated

explicitly otherwise.

2.5 Chip enable (E)

The chip enable, E, activates the memory, allowing bus read and bus write operations to be

performed. When Chip Enable is High, VIH, all other pins are ignored.

2.6 Output enable ( G)

The output enable, G, controls the bus read operation of the memory.

M29W800DT, M29W800DB Signal descriptions

13/52

2.7 Write enab le ( W)

The write enable, W, controls the bus write operation of the memory’s command interface.

2.8 Reset/block temporary unprotect (RP)

The reset/block temporary unprotect pin can be used to apply a hardware reset to the

memory or to temporarily unprotect all blocks that have been protected.

A hardware reset is achieved by holding reset/block temporary unprotect Low, VIL, for at

least tPLPX. After reset/block temporary unprotect goes High, VIH, the memory will be ready

for bus read and bus write operations after tPHEL or tRHEL, whichever occurs last. See the

Section 2.9: Ready/busy output (RB), Tab l e 15: R eset /block tem porary unprote ct AC

characteristics and Figure 14: Reset/block temporary unprotect AC waveforms, for more

details.

Holding RP at VID will temporarily unprotect the protected blocks in the memory. Program

and erase operations on all blocks will be possible. The transition from VIH to VID must be

slower than tPHPHH.

2.9 Ready/busy output (RB)

The ready/busy pin is an open-drain output that can be used to identify when the device is

performing a program or erase operation. During program or erase operations ready/busy is

Low, VOL. Ready/busy is high-impedance during read mode, auto select mode and erase

suspend mode.

After a hardware reset, bus read and bus write operations cannot begin until ready/busy

becomes high-impedance. See Table 15: Re set /block tem porary unprote ct A C

characteristics and Figure 14: Reset/block temporary unprotect AC waveforms.

The use of an open-drain output allows the ready/busy pins from several memories to be

connected to a single pull-up resistor. A Low will then indicate that one, or more, of the

memories is busy.

2.10 Byte/word organization select (BYTE)

The byte/word organization select pin is used to switch between the 8-bit and 16-bit bus

modes of the memory. When byte/word organization select is Low, VIL, the memory is in 8-

bit mode, when it is High, VIH, the memory is in 16-bit mode.

2.11 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 prevents 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 then the operation aborts and the memory contents

being altered will be invalid.

Signal descriptions M29W800DT, M29W800DB

14/52

A 0.1 μF capacitor should be connected between the VCC supply voltage pin and the VSS

ground pin to decouple the current surges from the power supply. The PCB track widths

must be sufficient to carry the currents required during program and erase operations, ICC3.

2.12 VSS ground

The VSS ground is the reference for all voltage measurements.

M29W800DT, M29W800DB Bus operations

15/52

3 Bus operations

There are five standard bus operations that control the device. These are bus read, bus

write, output disable, standby and automatic standby. See Table 2 and Table 3, Bus

operations, for a summary. Typically glitches of less than 5 ns on Chip Enable or Write

Enable are ignored by the memory and do not affect bus operations.

3.1 Bus read

Bus read operations read from the memory cells, or specific registers in the command

interface. A valid bus read operation involves setting the desired address on the address

inputs, applying a Low signal, VIL, to Chip Enable and Output Enable and keeping Write

Enable High, VIH. The data inputs/outputs will output the value, see Figu re 11: Read mode

AC wavefor ms , and Figure 12: Read AC characteristics for details of when the output

becomes valid.

3.2 Bus write

Bus write operations write to the command interface. A valid bus write operation begins by

setting the desired address on the address inputs. The address inputs are latched by the

command interface on the falling edge of Chip Enable or Write Enable, whichever occurs

last. The data inputs/outputs are latched by the command interface on the rising edge of

Chip Enable or Write Enable, whichever occurs first. Output Enable must remain High, VIH,

during the whole bus write operation. See Figure 12 and Figure 13, Write AC waveforms,

and Table 13 and Table 14, Write AC characteristics, for details of the timing requirements.

3.3 Output disable

The data inputs/outputs are in the high impedance state when Output Enable is High, VIH.

3.4 Standby

When Chip Enable is High, VIH, the memory enters standby mode and the data

inputs/outputs pins are placed in the high-impedance state. To reduce the supply current to

the standby supply current, ICC2, Chip Enable should be held within VCC ± 0.2 V. For the

standby current level see Table 11 : D C char act eri sti cs.

During program or erase operations the memory will continue to use the program/erase

supply current, ICC3, for program or erase operations until the operation completes.

3.5 Automatic standby

If CMOS levels (VCC ± 0.2 V) are used to drive the bus and the bus is inactive for 150 ns or

more the memory enters automatic standby where the internal supply current is reduced to

the standby supply current, ICC2. The data inputs/outputs will still output data if a bus read

operation is in progress.

Bus o p erati o ns M29W800D T, M29W800DB

16/52

3.6 Special bus operations

Additional bus operations can be performed to read the electronic signature and also to

apply and remove block protection. These bus operations are intended for use by

programming equipment and are not usually used in applications. They require VID to be

applied to some pins.

3.6.1 Electronic signature

The memory has two codes, the manufacturer code and the device code, that can be read

to identify the memory. These codes can be read by applying the signals listed in Table 2

and Table 3, Bus operations.

3.6.2 Block protection and blocks unprotection

Each block can be separately protected against accidental program or erase. Protected

blocks can be unprotected to allow data to be changed.

There are two methods available for protecting and unprotecting the blocks, one for use on

programming equipment and the other for in-system use. Block protect and chip unprotect

operations are described in Appendix C: Block protection.

M29W800DT, M29W800DB Command interface

17/52

4 Command interface

All bus write operations to the memory are interpreted by the command interface.

Commands consist of one or more sequential bus write operations. Failure to observe a

valid sequence of bus write operations will result in the memory returning to read mode. The

long command sequences are imposed to maximize data security.

The address used for the commands changes depending on whether the memory is in 16-

bit or 8-bit mode. See either Table 4, or Table 5, depending on the configuration that is being

used, for a summary of the commands.

4.1 Read/Reset command

The Read/Reset command returns the memory to its read mode where it behaves like a

ROM or EPROM, unless otherwise stated. It also resets the errors in the status register.

Either one or three bus write operations can be used to issue the Read/Reset command.

The Read/Reset command can be issued, between bus write cycles before the start of a

program or erase operation, to return the device to read mode. Once the program or erase

operation has started the Read/Reset command is no longer accepted. The Read/Reset

command will not abort an erase operation when issued while in erase suspend.

4.2 Auto Select command

The Auto Select command is used to read the manufacturer code, the device code and the

block protection status. Three consecutive bus write operations are required to issue the

Auto Select command. Once the Auto Select command is issued the memory remains in

auto select mode until a Read/Reset command is issued. Read CFI Query and Read/Reset

commands are accepted in auto select mode, all other commands are ignored.

From the auto select mode the manufacturer code can be read using a bus read operation

with A0 = VIL and A1 = VIL. The other address bits may be set to either VIL or VIH. The

manufacturer code for Numonyx is 0020h.

The device code can be read using a bus read operation with A0 = VIH and A1 = VIL. The

other address bits may be set to either VIL or VIH. The device code for the M29W800DT is

22D7h and for the M29W800DB is 225Bh.

The block protection status of each block can be read using a bus read operation with A0 =

VIL, A1 = VIH, and A12-A18 specifying the address of the block. The other address bits may

be set to either VIL or VIH. If the addressed block is protected then 01h is output on data

inputs/outputs DQ0-DQ7, otherwise 00h is output.

4.3 Program command

The Program command can be used to program a value to one address in the memory

array at a time. The command requires four bus write operations, the final write operation

latches the address and data in the internal state machine and starts the program/erase

controller.

Command interface M29W800DT, M29W800DB

18/52

If the address falls in a protected block then the Program command is ignored, the data

remains unchanged. The status register is never read and no error condition is given.

During the program operation the memory will ignore all commands. It is not possible to

issue any command to abort or pause the operation. Typical program times are given in

Table 6: Pr ogram/e rase t i m es and program/era se end urance cycles. Bus read operations

during the program operation will output the status register on the data inputs/outputs. See

the Section 5: Status register for more details.

After the program operation has completed the memory will return to the read mode, unless

an error has occurred. When an error occurs the memory will continue to output the status

read mode.

Note that the Program command cannot change a bit set to ’0’ back to ’1’. One of the erase

commands must be used to set all the bits in a block or in the whole memory from ’0’ to ’1’.

4.4 Unlock Byp a ss command

The Unlock Bypass command is used in conjunction with the Unlock Bypass Program

command to program the memory. When the access time to the device is long (as with

some EPROM programmers) considerable time saving can be made by using these

commands. Three bus write operations are required to issue the Unlock Bypass command.

Once the Unlock Bypass command has been issued the memory will only accept the Unlock

Bypass Program command and the Unlock Bypass Reset command. The memory can be

read as if in read mode.

4.5 Unlock Bypass Program command

The Unlock Bypass Program command can be used to program one address in memory at

a time. The command requires two bus write operations, the final write operation latches the

address and data in the internal state machine and starts the program/erase controller.

The program operation using the Unlock Bypass Program command behaves identically to

the program operation using the Program command. A protected block cannot be

programmed; the operation cannot be aborted and the status register is read. Errors must

be reset using the Read/Reset command, which leaves the device in unlock bypass mode.

See the Program command for details on the behavior.

4.6 Unlock Bypass Re set command

The Unlock Bypass Reset command can be used to return to read/reset mode from unlock

bypass mode. Two bus write operations are required to issue the Unlock Bypass Reset

command. Read/Reset command does not exit from unlock bypass mode.

M29W800DT, M29W800DB Command interface

19/52

4.7 Chip Erase command

The Chip Erase command can be used to erase the entire chip. Six bus write operations are

required to issue the Chip Erase command and start the program/erase controller.

If any blocks are protected then these are ignored and all the other blocks are erased. If all

of the blocks are protected the chip erase operation appears to start but will terminate within

about 100 μs, leaving the data unchanged. No error condition is given when protected

blocks are ignored.

During the erase operation the memory will ignore all commands. It is not possible to issue

any command to abort the operation. Typical chip erase times are given in Table 6:

Pr ogram / erase times and program/e rase end urance cycles. All bus read operations during

the chip erase operation will output the status register on the data inputs/outputs. See the

Se ct i on 5: Status regist er for more details.

After the chip erase operation has completed the memory will return to the read mode,

unless an error has occurred. When an error occurs the memory will continue to output the

status register. A Read/Reset command must be issued to reset the error condition and

return to read mode.

The Chip Erase command sets all of the bits in unprotected blocks of the memory to ’1’. All

previous data is lost.

4.8 Block Erase command

The Block Erase command can be used to erase a list of one or more blocks. Six bus write

operations are required to select the first block in the list. Each additional block in the list can

be selected by repeating the sixth bus write operation using the address of the additional

block. The block erase operation starts the program/erase controller about 50 μs after the

last bus write operation. Once the program/erase controller starts it is not possible to select

any more blocks. Each additional block must therefore be selected within 50 μs of the last

block. The 50 μs timer restarts when an additional block is selected. The status register can

be read after the sixth bus write operation. See the status register for details on how to

identify if the program/erase controller has started the block erase operation.

If any selected blocks are protected then these are ignored and all the other selected blocks

are erased. If all of the selected blocks are protected the block erase operation appears to

start but will terminate within about 100 μs, leaving the data unchanged. No error condition

is given when protected blocks are ignored.

During the block erase operation the memory will ignore all commands except the Erase

Suspend command. Typical block erase times are given in Tabl e 6: Program/ erase times

and progra m /era se endura nce cy cles. All bus read operations during the block erase

operation will output the status register on the data inputs/outputs. See the Section 5: St atus

After the block erase operation has completed the memory will return to the read mode,

unless an error has occurred. When an error occurs the memory will continue to output the

status register. A Read/Reset command must be issued to reset the error condition and

return to read mode.

The Block Erase command sets all of the bits in the unprotected selected blocks to ’1’. All

previous data in the selected blocks is lost.

Command interface M29W800DT, M29W800DB

20/52

4.9 Erase Suspend command

The Erase Suspend command may be used to temporarily suspend a block erase operation

and return the memory to read mode. The command requires one bus write operation.

The program/erase controller will suspend within the erase suspend latency time (refer to

Table 6 for value) of the Erase Suspend command being issued. Once the program/erase

controller has stopped the memory will be set to read mode and the erase will be

suspended. If the Erase Suspend command is issued during the period when the memory is

waiting for an additional block (before the program/erase controller starts) then the erase is

suspended immediately and will start immediately when the Erase Resume command is

issued. It is not possible to select any further blocks to erase after the erase resume.

During erase suspend it is possible to read and program cells in blocks that are not being

erased; both read and program operations behave as normal on these blocks. If any attempt

is made to program in a protected block or in the suspended block then the Program

command is ignored and the data remains unchanged. The status register is not read and

no error condition is given. Reading from blocks that are being erased will output the status

It is also possible to issue the Auto Select, Read CFI Query and Unlock Bypass commands

during an erase suspend. The Read/Reset command must be issued to return the device to

read array mode before the Resume command will be accepted.

4.10 Erase Resume command

The Erase Resume command must be used to restart the program/erase controller from

erase suspend. An erase can be suspended and resumed more than once.

4.11 Read CFI Query command

The Read CFI Query command is used to read data from the common flash interface (CFI)

memory area. This command is valid when the device is in the read array mode, or when

the device is in auto select mode.

One bus write cycle is required to issue the Read CFI Query command. Once the command

is issued subsequent bus read operations read from the common flash interface memory

area.

The Read/Reset command must be issued to return the device to the previous mode (read

array mode or auto select mode). A second Read/Reset command would be needed if the

device is to be put in the read array mode from auto select mode.

See Appe ndi x B: Comm on flash in te rfac e (CFI ), Table 22, Table 23, Table 24, Table 25,

Table 26 and Table 27 for details on the information contained in the common flash interface

(CFI) memory area.

4.12 Block Protec t and Chip Unp rot ect comm ands

Each block can be separately protected against accidental program or erase. The whole

chip can be unprotected to allow the data inside the blocks to be changed.

Block protect and chip unprotect operations are described in Appendix C: Block protection.

M29W800DT, M29W800DB Status register

23/52

5 Status register

Bus read operations from any address always read the status register during program and

erase operations. It is also read during erase suspend when an address within a block being

erased is accessed.

The bits in the status register are summarized in Table 7: Status register bits.

5.1 Data polling bit (DQ7)

The data polling bit can be used to identify whether the program/erase controller has

successfully completed its operation or if it has responded to an erase suspend. The data

polling bit is output on DQ7 when the status register is read.

During program operations the data polling bit outputs the complement of the bit being

programmed to DQ7. After successful completion of the program operation the memory

returns to read mode and bus read operations from the address just programmed output

DQ7, not its complement.

During erase operations the data polling bit outputs ’0’, the complement of the erased state

of DQ7. After successful completion of the erase operation the memory returns to read

mode.

In erase suspend mode the data polling bit will output a ’1’ during a bus read operation

within a block being erased. The data polling bit will change from a ’0’ to a ’1’ when the

program/erase controller has suspended the erase operation.

Figure 7: Data polling flo wchart gives an example of how to use the data polling bit. A valid

address is the address being programmed or an address within the block being erased.

5.2 Toggle bit (DQ6)

The toggle bit can be used to identify whether the program/erase controller has successfully

completed its operation or if it has responded to an erase suspend. The toggle bit is output

on DQ6 when the status register is read.

During program and erase operations the toggle bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc., with

successive bus read operations at any address. After successful completion of the

operation the memory returns to read mode.

During erase suspend mode the toggle bit will output when addressing a cell within a block

being erased. The toggle bit will stop toggling when the program/erase controller has

suspended the erase operation.

If any attempt is made to erase a protected block, the operation is aborted, no error is

signalled and DQ6 toggles for approximately 100 μs. If any attempt is made to program a

protected block or a suspended block, the operation is aborted, no error is signalled and

DQ6 toggles for approximately 1 μs.

Figure 8: Data toggle flowchart gives an example of how to use the toggle bit.

5.3 Error bit (DQ5)

The error bit can be used to identify errors detected by the program/erase controller. The

error bit is set to ’1’ when a program, block erase or chip erase operation fails to write the

correct data to the memory. If the error bit is set a Read/Reset command must be issued

before other commands are issued. The error bit is output on DQ5 when the status register

is read.

Note that the Program command cannot change a bit set to ’0’ back to ’1’ and attempting to

do so will set DQ5 to ‘1’. A bus read operation to that address will show the bit is still ‘0’. One

of the erase commands must be used to set all the bits in a block or in the whole memory

from ’0’ to ’1’

5.4 Erase timer bit (DQ3)

The erase timer bit can be used to identify the start of program/erase controller operation

during a Block Erase command. Once the program/erase controller starts erasing the erase

timer bit is set to ’1’. Before the program/erase controller starts the erase timer bit is set to ’0’

and additional blocks to be erased may be written to the command interface. The erase

timer bit is output on DQ3 when the status register is read.

5.5 Alternative toggle bit (DQ2)

The alternative toggle bit can be used to monitor the program/erase controller during erase

operations. The alternative toggle bit is output on DQ2 when the status register is read.

During chip erase and block erase operations the toggle bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’,

etc., with successive bus read operations from addresses within the blocks being erased. A

protected block is treated the same as a block not being erased. Once the operation

completes the memory returns to read mode.

During erase suspend the alternative toggle bit changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc. with

successive bus read operations from addresses within the blocks being erased. Bus read

operations to addresses within blocks not being erased will output the memory cell data as if

in read mode.

After an erase operation that causes the error bit to be set the alternative toggle bit can be

used to identify which block or blocks have caused the error. The alternative toggle bit

changes from ’0’ to ’1’ to ’0’, etc. with successive bus read operations from addresses within

blocks that have not erased correctly. The alternative toggle bit does not change if the

addressed block has erased correctly.

Appendix B Common f lash interface (CFI)

The common flash interface is a JEDEC approved, standardized data structure that can be

read from the flash memory device. It allows a system software to query the device to

determine various electrical and timing parameters, density information and functions

supported by the memory. The system can interface easily with the device, enabling the

software to upgrade itself when necessary.

When the CFI Query command is issued the device enters CFI query mode and the data

structure is read from the memory. Table 22, Table 23, Table 24, Table 25, Table 26 and

Table 27 show the addresses used to retrieve the data.

The CFI data structure also contains a security area where a 64-bit unique security number

is written (see Table 27: Security code area). This area can be accessed only in read mode

by the final user. It is impossible to change the security number after it has been written by

Numonyx. Issue a Read command to return to read mode.

Appendix C Block protection

Block protection can be used to prevent any operation from modifying the data stored in the

Flash. Each block can be protected individually. Once protected, program and erase

operations on the block fail to change the data.

There are three techniques that can be used to control block protection, these are the

programmer technique, the in-system technique and temporary unprotection. Temporary

unprotection is controlled by the reset/block temporary unprotection pin, RP; this is

described in the Section 2: Signal descriptions.

Unlike the command interface of the program/erase controller, the techniques for protecting

and unprotecting blocks change between different Flash memory suppliers. For example,

the techniques for AMD parts will not work on Numonyx parts. Care should be taken when

changing drivers for one part to work on another.

C.1 Programmer technique

The programmer technique uses high (VID) voltage levels on some of the bus pins. These

cannot be achieved using a standard microprocessor bus, therefore the technique is

recommended only for use in programming equipment.

To protect a block follow the flowchart in Fi gure 18: Prog ram mer equi pment block prote ct

flowchart. To unprotect the whole chip it is necessary to protect all of the blocks first, then all

blocks can be unprotected at the same time. To unprotect the chip follow Figure 19:

Pr ogram m er equipm ent chip unprotect fl owc hart . Table 28: P rogramm er te chnique bus

operat i ons, BYT E = VIH or VIL, gives a summary of each operation.

The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care should be taken to ensure that, where a

pause is specified, it is followed as closely as possible. Do not abort the procedure before

reaching the end. Chip unprotect can take several seconds and a user message should be

provided to show that the operation is progressing.

C.2 In-system technique

The in-system technique requires a high voltage level on the reset/blocks temporary

unprotect pin, RP. This can be achieved without violating the maximum ratings of the

components on the microprocessor bus, therefore this technique is suitable for use after the

Flash has been fitted to the system.

To protect a block follow the flowchart in Fi gure 20: In-system equipme nt block protect

flowchart. To unprotect the whole chip it is necessary to protect all of the blocks first, then all

the blocks can be unprotected at the same time. To unprotect the chip follow Figure 21: In-

sy st em equi pment ch ip unprot ect flowch art.

The timing on these flowcharts is critical. Care should be taken to ensure that, where a

pause is specified, it is followed as closely as possible. Do not allow the microprocessor to

service interrupts that will upset the timing and do not abort the procedure before reaching

the end. Chip unprotect can take several seconds and a user message should be provided

to show that the operation is progressing.
