Intel’s 28F010 CMOS flash memory offers the most cost-effective and reliable alternative for read/write
random access nonvolatile memory. The 28F010 adds electrical chip-eras ure and reprogramming to familiar
EPROM technol ogy. Memory contents c an be rewritten: in a test sock et; in a P ROM-programmer s ocket; on-
board during subassembly test; in-system during final test; and in-system after sale. The 28F010 increases
memory flexibility, while contributing to time and cost savings.
The 28F010 is a 1024 kilobit nonvolatile memory organized as 131,072 bytes of eight bits. Intel’s 28F010 is
offered in 32-pin plastic dip or 32-lead PLCC and TSOP packages. Pin assignments conform to JEDEC
standards for byte-wide EPROMs.
Extended erase and program cycling capability is designed into Intel's ETOX™ (EPROM Tunnel Oxide)
process technology. Advanced oxide processing, an optimized tunneling structure, and lower electric field
combine to extend reliable cycling beyond that of traditional EEPROMs. With the 12.0 V VPP supply, the
28F010 performs 100,000 erase and program cycles—well within the time limits of the quick-pulse
programming and quick-erase algorithms.
Intel's 28F010 employs advanced CMOS circuitry for systems requiring high-performance access speeds,
low power consumption, and immunity to noise. Its 90 ns access time provides zero wait-state performance
for a wide range of microproc ess ors and mi croc ontroll ers. Max imum st andby c urrent of 100 µA trans lat es i nto
power savings when the device is deselected. Finally, the highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
through Intel's unique EPI processing. Prevention of latch-up is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on
address and data pins, from –1 V to VCC + 1 V.
With Intel's ETOX process technology base, the 28F010 builds on years of EPROM experience to yield the
highest levels of quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

1.0 APPLICATIONS
The 28F010 flash memory provides nonvolatility
along with the capability to perform over 100,000
electrical chip-erasure/reprogram cycles. These
features m ake the 28F010 an innovat ive alt ernative
to disk, EEPROM, and battery-backed static RAM.
Where periodic updates of c ode and data t ables are
required, the 28F010’s reprogrammability and
nonvolatility make it the obvious and ideal
replacement for EPROM.
Primary applications and operating systems stored
in flash eliminate the slow disk-to-DRAM download
process. This results in dramatic enhancement of
performance and substantial reduction of power
consumption—a cons i deration particularly import ant
in portable equipment. Flash memory increases
flexibility with electrical chip erasure and in-system
update capability of operating systems and
application code. With updatable code, system
manufact urers can eas ily accom modate l ast-mi nute
changes as revisions are made.
In diskless workstations and terminals, network
traffic reduces to a minimum and systems are
instant-on. Reliability exceeds that of electro-
mechanical media. Often in these environments,
power interruptions force extended re-boot periods
for all networked terminals. This mishap is no
longer an issue if boot code, operating systems,
communication protocols and primary applications
are flash resident in each terminal.
For embedded systems that rely on dynamic
RAM/disk for main system memory or nonvolatile
backup storage, the 28F010 flash memory offers a
solid state alternative in a minimal form factor. The
28F010 provides higher performance, lower power
consumption, instant-on capability, and allows an
“eXecute i n place” (XI P) memory hierarchy f or code
and data table reading. Additionally, the flash
memory is more rugged and reliable in harsh
environments where extreme temperatures and
shock can cause disk-based systems to fail.
The need for code updates pervades all phases of
a system's life—from prototyping to system
manufacture to after sale service. The electrical
chip-erasure and reprogramming ability of the
28F010 allows in-circuit alterability; this eliminates
unnecessary handling and less reliable socketed
connections, while adding greater test,
manufacture, and update flexibility.
Material and labor costs associated with code
changes increases at higher levels of system
integration—the most costly being code updates
after sale. Code “bugs,” or the desire to augment
system functionality, prompt after sale code
updates. Field revisions to EPROM-based code
requires the removal of EPROM components or
entire boards. With the 28F010, code updates are
implemented locally via an edge connector, or
remotely over a communcation link.
For systems currently using a high-density static
RAM/battery configuration for data accumulation,
flash memory's inherent nonvolatility eliminates the
need for battery backup. The concern for battery
failure no longer exists, an important consideration
for portable equipment and medical instruments,
both requiring continuous performance. In addition,
flash m emory offers a cons iderable cost advantage
over static RAM.
Flash memory's electrical chip erasure, byte
programmability and complete nonvolatility fit well
with data accumulation and recording needs.
Electrical chip-erasure gives the designer a “blank
slate” in which to log or record data. Data can be
periodically off-loaded for analysis and the flash
memory erased producing a new “blank slate.”
A high degree of on-chip feature integration
simpli fies mem ory-to-processor int erfacing. Fi gure 3
depicts two 28F010s tied to the 80C186 system
bus. The 28F010's architecture minimizes interface
circuitry needed for complete in-circuit updates of
memory contents.
The outstanding feature of the TSOP (Thin Small
Outline Pac kage) is t he 1.2 mm thi ckness . TSOP is
particularly suited for portable equipment and
applications requiring large amounts of flash
memory.
With cost-effective in-system reprogramming,
extended cycling capability, and true nonvolatility,
the 28F010 offers advantages to the alternatives:
EPROMs, EEPROMs, battery backed static RAM,
or disk. EPROM-compatible read specifications,
straightforward interfacing, and in-circuit alterability
offers designers unlimited flex ibility to meet t he high
standards of today's designs.

2.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Flash memory augments EPROM functionality with
in-circ uit elect rical eras ure and reprogramming. The
28F010 introduces a command register to manage
this new functi onality . The comm and register al lows
for: 100% TTL-level control inputs; fixed power
supplies during erasure and programming; and
maximum EPROM compatibility.
In the absence of high voltage on the VPP pin, the
28F010 is a read-only memory. Manipulation of the
external memory control pins yields the standard
EPROM read, standby, output disable, and
intelligent identifier operations.
The same EPROM read, standby, and output
disable operations are available when high voltage
is applied to the VPP pin. In addition, high voltage
on VPP enables erasure and programming of the
device. All functions associated with altering
memory contents—intelligent identifier, erase,
erase verify, program, and program verify—are
accessed via the command register.
Commands are written to the register using
standard microprocessor write timings. Register
contents s erve as input t o an int ernal st ate mac hine
which cont rols the eras e and program ming ci rcui try.
Write cycles also internally latch addresses and
data needed for programming or erase operations.
With the appropriate command written to the
register, standard microprocessor read timings
output array data, access the intelligent identifier
codes, or output data for erase and program
verification.
2.1 Integrated Stop Timer
Successive command write cycles define the
durations of program and erase operations;
specificall y, the program or erase tim e durat i ons are
normally terminated by associated Program or
Erase Verify commands. An integrated stop timer
provides simplified timing control over these
operations; thus eliminating the need for maximum
program/erase timing specifications. Programming
and erase pulse durations are minimums only.
When the stop t imer terminat es a program or erase
operation, the device enters an inactive state and
remains inactive until receiving the appropriate
Verify or Reset command.

3. VID is the intelligent identifier high voltage. Refer to
DC Characteristics
.
4. Read operations with VPP = VPPH may access array data or the intelligent identifier codes.
5. With VPP at high voltage, the standby current equals ICC + IPP (standby).
6. Refer to Table 3 for valid data-in during a write operation.
7. X can be VIL or VIH.
2.2 Write Protection
The command regist er is only activ e when VPP is at
high voltage. Depending upon the application, the
system designer may choose to make the VPP
power supply switchable—available only when
memory updat es are desired. When V PP = VPPL, the
contents of the register default to the Read
command, making t he 28F010 a read-only m emory .
In this mode, the memory contents cannot be
altered.
Or, the system designer may choose to “hardwire”
VPP, making the high voltage supply constantly
available. In this case, all command register
functions are inhibited whenever VCC is below the
write lockout voltage VLKO. (See Section 3.4,
Power-Up/Down Protection
.) The 28F010 is
designed to accommodate either design practice,
and to encourage optimization of the processor
memory interface.
The two-step program/erase write sequence to the
command register provides additional software
write protections.
2.2.1 BUS OPERATIONS
2.2.1.1 Read
The 28F010 has two control functions, both of
which mus t be logically active, to obtain dat a at t he
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 dat a from the out put pins , i ndependent
of device selection. Refer to the AC read timing
waveforms.
When VPP is high (VPPH), the read operati on can be
used to access array data, to output the intelligent
identifier codes, and to access data for
program/erase v erificat ion. When VPP is low (VPPL),
the read operation can only access the array data.
2.2.1.2 Output Disable
With OE# at a logic-hi gh level (V IH), output f rom the
device is dis abled. Out put pi ns are plac ed in a high-
impedance state.
28F010 E
10
2.2.1.3 Standby
With CE# at a logic-high level, the standby
operation disables most of the 28F010’s circuitry
and substantially reduces device power
consumption. The outputs are placed in a high-
impedance state, independent of the OE# signal. If
the 28F010 is deselected during erasure,
programming, or program/erase verification, the
device draws active current until the operation is
terminated.
2.2.1.4 Intelligent Identifier Operation
The intelligent identifier operation outputs the
manufacturer code (89H) and device code (B4H).
Programming equipment automatically matches the
device with its proper erase and programming
algorithms.
With CE# and OE # at a logi c low l evel , rais ing A9 to
high voltage VID (see
DC Characteristics
) activates
the operation. Data read from locations 0000H and
0001H represent the manufacturer's code and the
device code, respectively.
The manufacturer and device codes can also be
read via the command regis ter, for ins tances where
the 28F010 is erased and reprogrammed in the
target system. Following a write of 90H to the
command register, a read from address location
0000H outputs the manufacturer code (89H). A
read from address 0001H outputs the device code
(B4H).
2.2.1.5 Write
Device eras ure and programm ing are ac com plis hed
via the command register, when high voltage is
applied to the VPP pin. The contents of the register
serve as input to the internal state machine. The
state machine outputs dictate the function of the
device.
The command register itself does not occupy an
addressable memory location. The register is a
latch used to store the command, along with
address and data information needed to execute
the command.
The command register is wri tten by bringi ng WE# to
a logic-low level (VIL), while CE# is low. Addresses
are latched on the f alling edge of WE#, while data is
latched on the rising edge of the WE# pulse.
Standard microprocessor write timings are used.
Refer to
AC Characteristics—Write/Erase/Program
Only Operations
and the erase/programming
waveforms for specific timing parameters.
2.2.2 COMMAND DEFINITIONS
When low voltage is applied to the VPP pin, the
contents of the command register default to 00H,
enabling read-only operations.
Placing high voltage on the VPP pin enables
read/write operations. Device operations are
selected by writing specific data patterns into the
command register. Table 3 defines these 28F010
register commands.

28F010 Quick-Erase Algorithm
flowchart.
6. Figure 4 illustrates the
28F010 Quick-Pulse Programming Algorithm
flowchart.
7. The second bus cycle must be followed by the desired command register write.
2.2.2.1 Read Command
While VPP is high, for erasure and programming,
memory contents can be accessed via the Read
command. The read operation is initiated by writing
00H into the command register. Microprocessor
read cycles retrieve array data. The device remains
enabled for reads until the command register
contents are altered.
The default contents of the register upon VPP
power-up is 00H. Thi s def ault v alue ens ures t hat no
spurious alteration of memory contents occurs
during the VPP power transition. Where the VPP
supply is hardwired to the 28F010, the device
powers-up and remains enabled for reads until the
command register contents are changed. Refer to
the
AC Charact eristic s—Read-Only Operati ons
and
waveforms for specific timing parameters.
2.2.2.2 Intelligent Identifier Command
Flash memori es are i ntended f or use in appli cat ions
where the local CPU alters memory contents. As
such, manufacturer and device codes must be
accessible while the device resides in the target
system. PROM programmers typically access
signature codes by raising A9 to a high voltage.
However, multiplexing high voltage onto address
lines is not a desired system design practice.
The 28F010 contains an intelligent identifier
operation to supplement traditional PROM-
programming methodology. The operation is
initiated by writing 90H into the command register.
Following the command Write, a read cycle from
address 0000H retrieves the manufacturer code of
89H. A read cycle from address 0001H returns the
device code of B4H. To terminate the operation, it
28F010 E
12
is necessary to write another valid command into
the register.
2.2.2.3 Set-Up Erase/Erase Commands
Set-Up Erase is a command-only operation that
stages the device for electrical erasure of all bytes
in the array. The set-up erase operation is
performed by writing 20H to the command register.
To commence chip-erasure, the Erase command
(20H) must again be written to the register. The
erase operation begins with the rising edge of the
WE# pulse and terminates with the rising edge of
the next WE# pulse (i.e., Erase Verify command).
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by
execution ensures that memory contents are not
accidentally erased. Also, chip-erasure can only
occur when high voltage i s applied to t he pin. I n the
absence of this high voltage, memory contents are
protected against erasure. Refer to
AC
Characteristics—Write/Erase/Program Only Oper-
ations
and waveforms for specific timing
parameters.
2.2.2.4 Erase Verify Command
The Erase command erases all byt es of the array in
parallel. After each erase operation, all bytes must
be verifi ed. The eras e verif y operat ion is init iated by
writing A0H into the command register. The
address f or the byte t o be verifi ed mus t be supplied
as it is latched on the f alling edge of t he WE# pulse.
The register write terminates the erase operation
with the rising edge of its WE# pulse.
The 28F010 applies an internally-generated margin
voltage to the addressed byte. Reading FFH from
the address ed byte indic ates t hat all bit s in t he byt e
are erased.
The Erase Verify command must be written to the
command register prior to each byte verification to
latch its address. The process continues for each
byte in the array until a byte does not return FFH
data, or the last address is accessed.
In the case where the dat a read is not FFH, anot her
erase operation is performed. (Refer Section
2.2.2.3,
Set-Up Erase/Erase Commands.
)
Verification then resumes from the address of the
last-verified byte. Once all bytes in the array have
been verified, the erase step is complete. The
device can be programmed. At this
point, the verify operation is t erminated by writing a
valid command (e.g., Program Set-Up) to the
command register. Figure 5, the
28F010 Quick-
Erase Algorithm
flowchart, illustrates how
commands and bus operations are combined to
perform electrical erasure of the 28F010. Refer to
AC Characteristics—Write/Erase/Program Only
Operations
and waveforms for specific timing
parameters.
2.2.2.5 Set-Up Program/Program
Commands
Set-up program is a command-only operation that
stages the device for byte programming. Writing
40H into the comm and register performs t he set-up
operation.
Once the program set-up operation is performed,
the next WE # pulse c auses a trans ition t o an act ive
programming operation. Addresses are internally
latched on the falling edge of the WE# pulse. Data
is internally latched on the rising edge of the WE#
pulse. The rising edge of WE# also begins the
programming operation. The programming
operation terminates with the next rising edge of
WE#, used to write the Program Verify command.
Refer to
AC Characteristics—Write/Erase/Program
Only Operations
and Waveforms for specific timing
parameters.
2.2.2.6 Program Verify Command
The 28F010 is programmed on a byte-by-byte
basis. Byte programm ing may oc cur sequenti ally or
at random. Following each programming operation,
the byte just programmed must be verified.
The program verify operation is initiated by writing
C0H into the command register. The register write
terminates the programming operation with the
rising edge of its WE# pulse. The program verify
operation stages the device for verification of the
byte las t programmed. No new address i nformation
is latched.
The 28F010 applies an internally-generated margin
voltage to the byte. A microprocessor read cycle
outputs t he data. A s ucc ess ful c omparis on bet ween
the programmed byte and t rue data means that the
byte is successfully programmed. Programming
then proceeds to the next desired byte location.
Figure 5, the
28F010 Quick-Pulse Programming
Algorithm
flowchart, illustrates how commands are
combined with bus operations to perform byte
E28F010
13
programming. Refer to
AC Characteristics
Write/Erase/Program Only Operations
and
waveforms for specific timing parameters.
2.2.2.7 Reset Command
A Reset c omm and is prov ided as a m eans to s afely
abort the Erase or Program command sequences.
Following either Set-Up command (Erase or
Program) with two consecutive writes of FFH will
safely abort the operat ion. Memory c ontents will not
be altered. A valid command must then be written
to place the device in the desired state.
2.2.3 EXTENDED ERASE/PROGRAM
CYCLING
EEPROM cycling failures have always concerned
users. The high electrical field required by thin
oxide EEPROMs for tunneling can literally tear
apart the oxide at defect regions. To combat this,
some suppliers have implemented redundancy
schemes, reducing cycling failures to insignificant
levels. However, redundancy requires that cell size
be doubled—an expensive solution.
Intel has designed extended cycling capability into
its ETOX flash memory technology. Resulting
improvements in cycling reliability come without
increasing memory cell size or complexity. First, an
advanced tunnel oxide increases the charge
carrying ability ten-fold. Second, t he oxide area per
cell subjected to the tunneling electric field is one-
tenth that of common EEPROMs, minimizing the
probability of oxide defects in the region. Finally,
the peak electric field during erasure is
approximately 2 MV/cm lower than EEPROM. The
lower electric field greatly reduces oxide stress and
the probability of failure.
The 28F010 is capable or 100,000 program/erase
cycles. The device is programmed and erased
using Intel's quick-pulse programming and quick-
erase algorithms. Intel's algorithmic approach uses
a series of operations (pulses), along with byte
verification, to completely and reliably erase and
program the device.
2.2.4 QUICK-PULSE PROGRAMMING
ALGORITHM
The quick-pulse programming algorithm uses
programming operations of 10 µs duration. Each
operation is followed by a byte verification to
determine when the addressed byte has been
successfully programmed. The algorithm allows for
up to 25 programming operations per byte, al t hough
most bytes verify on the first or second operation.
The entire sequence of programming and byte
verification is performed with VPP at high voltage.
Figure 4 illustrates the
28F010 Quick-Pulse
Programming Algorithm
flowchart.
2.2.5 QUICK-ERASE ALGORITHM
Intel's quick -erase algorithm yiel ds fast and reliable
electrical erasure of memory contents. The
algorithm employ s a closed-loop fl ow, similar to t he
quick-pulse programming algorithm, to simul-
taneously remove charge from all bits in the array.
Erasure begins with a read of memory contents.
The 28F010 is erased when shipped from the
factory. Reading FFH data from the device would
immediately be followed by device programming.
For devices being erased and reprogrammed,
uniform and reliable erasure is ensured by first
programming all bits in the device to their charged
state (Data = 00H). This is accom plished, usi ng the
quick-pulse programming algorithm, in approxi-
mately two seconds.
Erase execut ion then continues with an i nitial erase
operation. E rase verific ation (data = FFH) begins at
address 0000H and continues through the array to
the last address, or until data other than FFH is
encountered. With each erase operation, an
increasing number of bytes verify to the erased
state. Erase efficiency may be improved by storing
the address of the last byte verified in a register.
Following the next erase operation, verification
starts at that stored address location. Erasure
typically occurs in one second. Figure 5 illustrates
the
28F010 Quick-Erase Algorithm
flowchart.

3.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 Two-Line Output Control
Flash memories are often used in larger memory
arrays. Intel provides two read control inputs to
accommodate multiple memory connections. Two-
line control provides for:
a. the lowest possible memory power dissipation
and,
b. complete assurance that output bus contention
will not occur.
To efficiently use these two control inputs, an
address decoder output should drive chip-enable,
while the system’s read signal controls all flash
memories and other parallel memories. This
assures that only enabled memory devices have
active outputs, while deselected devices maintain
the low power standby condition.
3.2 Power Supply Decoupling
Flash memory power-switching characteristics
require careful device decoupling. System
designers are interested in three supply current
(ICC) issues—standby, active, and transient current
peaks produced by falling and rising edges of chip-
enable. The capacitive and inductive loads on the
device outputs determine the magnitudes of these
peaks.
Two-line control and proper decoupling capacitor
selection will suppress transient voltage peaks.
Each device should have a 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor connected between VCC and VSS, and
between VPP and VSS.
Place the high-frequency, low-inherent inductance
capacitors as close as possible to the devices.
Also, for every eight devices, a 4.7 µF electrolytic
capacitor should be placed at the array's power
supply c onnection, bet ween VCC and VSS. The bulk
capacitor will overcome voltage slumps caused by
printed circuit board trace inductance, and will
supply charge to the smaller capacitors as needed.
3.3 VPP Trace on Printed Circuit
Boards
Programming flash memories, while they reside in
the target system, requires that the printed circuit
board designer pay attention to the VPP power
supply t race. The VPP pin supplies the memory cel l
current for programming. Use similar trace widths
and layout c onsi derations giv en the VCC power bus .
Adequate VPP supply traces and decoupling will
decrease VPP voltage spikes and overshoots.
3.4 Power-Up/Down Protection
The 28F010 is designed to offer protection against
accidental erasure or programming during power
transitions. Upon power-up, the 28F010 is
indifferent as to which power supply, VPP or VCC,
powers up first. Power supply sequencing is not
required. Internal circuitry in the 28F010 ensures
that the command register is reset to the read mode
on power-up.
A system designer must guard agai nst act ive writ es
for VCC voltages above VLKO when VPP is active.
Since both WE# and CE# must be low for a
command write, driving either to VIH will inhibit
writes. The control regist er architect ure provides an
added level of protec tion s inc e alterat ion of memory
contents only occurs after successful completion of
the two-step command sequences.
3.5 28F010 Power Dissipation
When designing portable systems, designers must
consider bat tery power cons umpt ion not only duri ng
device operation, but also for data retention during
system idle time. Flash nonvolatility increases the
usable battery life of your system because the
28F010 does not consume any power to retain
code or data when the system is off. Table 4
illustrates the power dissipated when updating the
28F010.

4.11 Erase and Programming Performance
Parameter Notes Min Typical Max Unit
Chip Erase Time 1, 3, 4 1 10 Sec
Chip Program Time 1, 2, 4 2 12.5 Sec
NOTES:
1. “Typicals” are not guaranteed, but based on samples from production lots. Data taken at 25 °C, 12.0 V V
PP.
2. Minimum byte programming time excluding system overhead is 16 µsec (10 µsec program + 6 µsec write recovery), while
maximum is 400 µsec/byte (16 µsec x 25 loops allowed by algorithm). Max chip programming time is specified lower than
the worst case allowed by the programming algorithm since most bytes program significantly faster than the worst case
byte.
3. Excludes 00H programming prior to erasure.
4. Excludes system level overhead.
