MX26C2000B
EPROMTM is built on an innovative cell concept in which
over erasing the memory cell is impossible.
DATA WRITE PROTECTION
The design of the device protects against accidental
erasure or programming. The internal state machine is
automatically reset to the read mode on power-up. Using
control register architecture, alteration of memory can
only occur after completion of proper command
sequences. The command register is only active when V
PP is at high voltage. when V PP = V PPL , the device defaults
to the Read Mode. Robust design features prevent
inadvertent write cycles resulting from VCC power-up and
power-down transitions or system noise. To avoid initiation
of write cycle during VCC power-up, a write cycle is locked
out for VCC less than 4V. The two- command program and
erase write sequence to the command register provide
additional software protection against spurious data
changes.
PROGRAM VERIFY MODE
Verification should be performed on the programmed bits
to determine that they were correctly programmed.
Verification should be performed with OE and CE, at
VIL, WE at VIH, and VPP at its programming voltage.
ERASE VERIFY MODE
Verification should be performed on the erased chip to
determine that the whole chip(all bits) was correctly
erased. Verification should be performed with OE and
CE at VIL, WE at VIH, and VCC = 5V, VPP = 12.5V
AUTO IDENTIFY MODE
The auto identify mode allows the reading out of a binary
code from MTP EPROM that will identify its
manufacturer and device type. This mode is intended
for use by programming equipment for the purpose of
automatically matching the device to be programmed
with its corresponding programming algorithm. This
mode is functional in the 25°C ± 5°C ambient temperature
range that is required when programming the
MX26C2000B.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment must
force 12.0 ± 0.5 V on address line A9 of the device.
Two identifier bytes may then be sequenced from the
device outputs by toggling address line A0 from VIL to
VIH. All other address lines must be held at VIL during
auto identify mode.
Byte 0 ( A0 = VIL) represents the manufacturer code,
and byte 1 (A0 = VIH), the device identifier code. For
the MX26C2000B, these two identifier bytes are given
in the Mode Select Table. All identifiers for manufacturer
and device codes will possess odd parity, with the MSB
(DQ7) defined as the parity bit.
READ MODE
The MX26C2000B has two control functions, both of
which must be logically satisfied in order to obtain data
at the outputs. Chip Enable (CE) is the power control
and should be used for device selection. Output Enable
(OE) is the output control and should be used to gate
data to the output pins, independent of device selection.
Assuming that addresses are stable, address access
time (tACC) is equal to the delay from CE to output (tCE).
Data is available at the outputs tOE after the falling edge
of OE, assuming that CE has been LOW and addresses
have been stable for at least tACC - tOE.
STANDBY MODE
The MX26C2000B has a CMOS standby mode which
reduces the maximum VCC current to 100 uA. It is
placed in CMOS standby when CE is at VCC ± 0.3 V.
The MX26C2000B also has a TTL-standby mode which
reduces the maximum VCC current to 1.5 mA. It is
placed in TTL-standby when CE is at VIH. When in
standby mode, the outputs are in a high-impedance
state, independent of the OE input.
SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
During the switch between active and standby
conditions, transient current peaks are produced on the
rising and falling edges of Chip Enable. The magnitude
of these transient current peaks is dependent on the
output capacitance loading of the device. At a minimum,
a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor (high frequency, low inherent
inductance) should be used on each device between
VCC and GND to minimize transient effects. In addition,
to overcome the voltage drop caused by the inductive
