24 Datasheet
Table 6. Command Codes and Descriptions
Code Device Mode Description
FF Read Array This command places the device in read-array mode, which outputs array data on the data
pins.
40 Program Set-Up
This is a two-cycle command. The first cycle prepares the CUI for a program operation. The
second cycle latches addresses and data information and initiates the WSM to execute the
Program algorithm. The flash outputs status-register data when CE# or OE# is toggled. A Read
Array command is required after programming to read array data. See Section 4.2.5.
20 Erase Set-Up
Prepares the CUI for the Erase Confirm command. If the next command is not an Erase
Confirm command, then the CUI will (a) set both SR.4 and SR.5 of the status register to a “1,”
(b) place the device into the read-status-register mode, and (c) wait for another command. See
Section 4.2.6.
D0
Erase Confirm
Program/Erase
Resume
Unlock Block
If the previous command was an Erase Set-Up command, then the CUI will close the address
and data latches and begin erasing the block indicated on the address pins. During program/
erase, the device will respond only to the Read Status Register, Program Suspend and Erase
Suspend commands, and will output status-register data when CE# or OE# is toggled.
If a Program or Erase operation was previously suspended, this command will resume that
operation.
If the previous command was Configuration Set-Up, the CUI will latch the address and unlock
the block indicated on the address pins. If the block had been previously set to Lock-Down, this
operation will have no effect. (Section 4.3)
B0
Program Suspend
Erase
Suspend
Issuing this command will begin to suspend the currently executing Program/Erase operation.
The status register will indicate when the operation has been successfully suspended by
setting either the program-suspend (SR.2) or erase-suspend (SR.6) and the WSM status bit
(SR.7) to a “1” (ready). The WSM will continue to idle in the SUSPEND state, regardless of the
state of all input-control pins except RP#, which will immediately shut down the WSM and the
remainder of the chip if RP# is driven to VIL. See Sections 3.2.5.1 and 3.2.6.1.
70 Read Status
Register
This command places the device into read-status-register mode. Reading the device will
output the contents of the status register, regardless of the address presented to the device.
The device automatically enters this mode after a Program or Erase operation has been
initiated. See Section 4.2.3.
50 Clear Status
Register
The WSM can set the block-lock status (SR.1), VPP Status (SR.3), program status (SR.4), and
erase-status (SR.5) bits in the status register to “1,” but it cannot clear them to “0.” Issuing this
command clears those bits to “0.”
90 Read
Configuration
Puts the device into the read-configuration mode so that reading the device will output the
manufacturer/device codes or block-lock status. Section 4.2.2.
60 Configuration
Set-Up
Prepares the CUI for changes to the device configuration, such as block-locking changes. If
the next command is not Block Unlock, Block Lock, or Block Lock-Down, then the CUI will set
both the program and erase-status-register bits to indicate a command-sequence error. See
Section 4.2.
01 Lock-Block If the previous command was Configuration Set-Up, the CUI will latch the address and lock the
block indicated on the address pins. (Section 4.3)
2F Lock-Down If the previous command was a Configuration Set-Up command, the CUI will latch the address
and lock-down the block indicated on the address pins. (Section 4.3)
98 Read
Query
Puts the device into the read-query mode so that reading the device will output Common Flash
Interface information. See Section 4.2.4 and Appendix C.
C0
Protection
Program
Setup
This is a two-cycle command. The first cycle prepares the CUI for a program operation to the
protection register. The second cycle latches addresses and data information and initiates the
WSM to execute the Protection Program algorithm to the protection register. The flash outputs
status-register data when CE# or OE# is toggled. A Read Array command is required after
programming to read array data. See Section 4.4.
10 Alt. Prog Set-Up Operates the same as Program Set-up command. (See 40H/Program Set-Up)
00 Invalid/
Reserved
Unassigned commands that should not be used. Intel reserves the right to redefine these
codes for future functions.
NOTE: See Appendix A for mode transition information.
