Product Features
The Intel StrataFlash® wireless memory (L30) product is the latest generation of Intel
StrataFlash® memory devices featuring flexible, multiple-partition, dual operati on. It provid es
high performance synchronous-burst read mode and asynchronous read mode using 1.8 V low-
voltage, multi-level cell (MLC) technology.
The multiple-partition architecture enables backgr oun d progr ammin g or erasin g to occur in one
partition while code execution or data reads take place in another partition. This dual-operation
architecture also allows a system to interleave code operations while program and erase
operations take place in the background.
The L30 device is manufactured using Intel® 0.13 µm ETOX™ VIII process technology. It is
available in industry-standard chip scale packaging.

Parameter block: An array block that is usually used to store frequently changing data or small
system parameters that traditionally would be stored in EEPROM.
Top parameter device: Previously referred to as a top-boot device, a device with its parameter
partition located at the highest phy sical address of its memory map. Parameter blocks within a
parameter partition are located at the high e st physical address of the parameter partition.
Bottom parameter device: Previously referred to as a bottom-boot device, a device with its
parameter partition located at the lowest physical address of its memory map. Parameter blocks
within a parameter partition are located at the lowest p h ys ical address of the parameter partition.
Partition: A grou p o f b loc ks t hat s har e common pro gram /erase circuitry. Blocks within a partition
also share a common status register. I f any block within a partition is being programmed or erased,
only status register data (rather than array dat a ) is available wh en any add ress with in that partition
is read.
Main partition: A partiti on containing only main bloc ks.
Parameter partition: A partition containing parameter blocks and main blocks.

2.0 Functional Overview
This section provides an overview of the features an d capabilities of the L30 device.
The L30 device provides read-while-write and read-while-erase capability with density upgrades
through 256-Mbit. This family of devices provides high performance at low voltage on a 16-bit
data bus. Individually erasable memory blocks are sized for optimum code and data storage.
Each device density contains one parameter partition and sev eral main partitions. The flash
memory array is grouped into multiple 8-Mbit or 16-Mbit partitions. By dividing the flash memory
into partitions, program or erase operations can take place at the same time as read operations.
Although each partition has write, erase and burst read capabilities, simultaneous operation is
limited to write or erase in one partition whil e other partitio ns are in read mode. The Intel
StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30) allows b urst reads that cross partition bounda r ies. User
application code is respon sib le f or ensurin g that burst reads don’t cross into a partition that is
programmi ng or erasin g.
Upon initial power up or return from reset, th e device defau lts to asynchronous page-mode read.
Configuring the Read Configuration Register enables synchronous burst-mode reads. In
synchronous burst mode, output data is synchronized with a user-supplied clock signal. A WAIT
signal provides easy CPU-to-flash memory synchronization.
In addition to the enhanced architecture and interface, the device incorporates techn olog y that
enables fast factory program and erase operations. Designed for low-voltage system s, the In tel
StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30) supports read operatio ns with VCC at 1.8 V, and erase and
program operations with VPP at 1.8 V or 9.0 V. Buffered Enhanced Factory Programming
(Buffered EFP) provides the fastest flash array programming performance with VPP at 9.0 Volt,
which increases factory throughput. With VPP at 1.8 V, VCC and VPP can be tied together for a
simple, ultra low power design . In additio n to voltage flexibility, a dedicated VPP co nnection
provides complete data protectio n when VPP is less than VPPLK.
A Command User Interface (CUI) is the interface between the system processor and all internal
operations of the device. An internal Write State Machine (WSM) automatically executes the
algorithms and timings neces sary for block eras e and progr am. A St atus Register indicates erase or
program completion and any errors that may have occurred.
An industry-standard command sequence invokes program and erase automation. Each erase
operation erases one block. The Erase Suspend feature allows system software to pause an erase
cycle to read or program data in another block. Program Suspend allows system software to pause
programming to read other locations. Data is programmed in word increments.
The Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30) offers power savings through Automatic Power
Savings (A PS) mode and standby mode. The dev ice automatically enters APS fol lowing read-cycle
completion. Standby is initiated when the system deselects the device by deasserting CE# or by
asserting RST#. Combined, these features can significantly reduce power consumption.
The Intel Strat aF lash ® Wirel es s Memory (L30)’s protection register allows unique flash device
identification that can be used to increase system security. Also, the individual Block Lock featur e
provides zero-latency block locking and unlocking.

DATA I NPUT/ OUTPUTS : Input s data and commands during write cycles; outputs data during memory,
Stat us Register, Protection Register, and Read Configuration Register reads. Data balls float when the
CE# or OE# are deasserted. Data is internally latched during writes.
ADV# Input
ADDRESS VALID: Active-low input. During synchronous read operations, addresses are latched on
the rising edge of ADV#, or on the next valid CLK edge with ADV# low, whichever occurs first.
In asynchronous mode, the address is latched when ADV# going high or continuously flows through if
ADV# is held low.
CE# Input CHIP ENABLE: Active-low input. CE#-low selects the device. CE#-high deselects the device, placing it
in standby, with DQ[15:0] and WAIT in High-Z.
CLK Input
CLOCK: Synchronizes the device with the system’s bus frequency in synchronous-read mod e and
increments the internal address generator. During synchronous read operations, addresses are
latched on the rising edge of ADV#, or on the next valid CLK edge with ADV# low, whichever occurs
first.
OE# Input OUTPUT ENABLE: Active-low input. OE#-low enables the device’s output data buffers during read
cycles. OE#-high places the data outputs in High-Z and WAIT in High-Z.
RST# Input RESET: Active-low input. RST# resets internal automation and inhibits write operations. This provides
data protection during power transitions. RST#-high enables normal operation. Exit from reset places
the device in asynchronous read array mode.
WAIT Output
WAIT: Indicates data valid in synchronous array or non-array burst reads. Configuration Register bit 10
(RCR[10], WT) determines its polarity when asserted. With CE# and OE# at VIL, WAIT’s active o utp u t
is VOL or VOH when CE# and OE# are asserted. WAIT is high-Z if CE# or OE# is VIH.
In synchronous array or non-array read modes, WAIT indicates invalid data when asserted and
valid data when deasserted.
In asynchronous page mode, and all write modes, WA IT is deasserted.
WE# Input WRITE ENABLE: Active-low input. WE# controls writes to the device. Address and data are latched on
the rising edge of WE#.

Notes:
1. WAIT is driven per OE# assertion during synchronous array or non-array read, and can be configured to
assert either during or one data cycle before valid data.
2. This diagram illustrates the case in which an n-word burst is initiated to the flash memory array and it is
terminated by CE# deassertion after the first word in the burst.
Notes:
1. WAIT is driven per OE# assertion during synchronous array or non-array read. WAIT asserted during
initial latency and deasserted during valid data (RCR[10] = 0 Wait asserted low).
2. At the end of Word Line; the delay incurred when a burst access crosses a 16-word boundary and the

Notes:
1. Write timing characteristics during erase suspend are the same as write-only operations.
2. A write operation can be terminated with either CE# or WE#.
3. Sampled, not 100% tested.
4. Write pulse width low (tWLWH or tELEH) is defined from CE# or WE# low (whichever occurs last) to CE#
or WE# high (whichever occurs first). Hence, tWLWH = tELEH = tWLEH = tELWH.
5. Write pulse width high (tWHWL or tEHEL) is defined from CE# or WE# high (whichever occurs first) to
CE# or WE# low (whichever occurs last). Hence, tWHWL = tEHEL = tWHEL = tEHWL).
6. tWHVH or tWHCH/L must be met when transitioning from a write cycle to a synchronous burst read.
7. VPP and WP# should be at a valid level until erase or program success is determined.
8. T his specification is only applicable when transitioning from a write cycle to an asynchronous read.
See spec W19 and W20 for synchronous read.
9. W hen doing a Read Status operation following any command that alters the Status Register, W14 is
20 ns.
10. Add 10 ns if the write operations results in a RCR or block lock status change, for the subsequent
read operation to reflect this change.
11. These specs are required only when the device is in a synchronous mode and clock is active during
address setup phase.

8.0 Power and Reset Specifications
8.1 Power Up and Down
Power supply seq uencing is not required if VCC, VCCQ, and VPP are connected together; If
VCCQ and/or VPP are not connected to the VCC supply, then VCC should attain VCCMIN before
applying VCCQ and VPP. Device inputs should not be driven before supply voltage equals VCCMIN.
Power supply trans itions should only occur when RST# is low. This p r otects the device from
accidental programming or erasure during power transitions.
8.2 Reset Speci fications
Asserting RST# during a system reset is important with automated program/erase devices because
systems typically expect to read from flash memory when coming out of reset. If a CPU reset
occurs without a flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization may not occur. This is because the
flash memory may be providing status information, instead of array data as expected. Connect
RST# to the same active-low reset signal used for CPU initialization.
Also, because the device is disabled when RST# is asserted, it ignores its control inputs during
power-up/down. Invalid bus conditions are masked, providing a level of memory protect ion.
System designers should guard against spurious writes when VCC voltages are above VLKO.
Because both WE# and CE# must be asserted for a write operation, deasserting either signal
inhibits writes to the device.
The Command User Interface (CUI) architecture provides additional protection because alteration
of memory contents can only occur after successful completion of a two-step command sequence
(see Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 44).

8.3 Power Suppl y Decouplin g
Flash memory devi ces require careful power supply de-coup ling. Three basic power supp ly current
considerations are: 1) standby current levels; 2) active current levels; and 3) transient peaks
produced when CE# and OE# are asserted and deasserted.
When the device is accessed, many internal conditions change. Circuits within the device enable
charge-pumps, and internal logic states change at high speed. All of these internal activities
produce transient signals. Transient current magnitudes depend on the device outputs’ capacitive
and inductive loading. Two-line control and correct de-coupling capacitor selection suppress
transient voltage peaks.
Because Intel® Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash memory devices draw their power from VCC, VPP,
and VCCQ, each power connection should have a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor connected to a
correspondin g ground connect ion. Hi gh-frequency, inheren tly low-induct ance capacitors s hould be
placed as close as possible to package leads.
Additionally, for every eight devices used in the system, a 4.7 µF electrolytic capacitor should be
placed between power and ground close to the devices. The bulk capacitor is meant to overcome
voltage droop caused by PCB trace inductance.

8.4 Automatic Power Saving
Automatic Power Saving (APS) provides low power operatio n during a read’s active state. ICCAPS
is the average current measured over any 5 ms time interval, 5 µs after CE# is deasserted. During
APS, average current is measured over the same time interval 5 µs after the following events
happen: (1) there is no internal read, program or erase operations ceas e; (2) CE# is asserted; (3 ) the
address lines are quiescent and at VSSQ or VCCQ. OE# may also be driven during APS.

9.0 Device Operations
This section provides an over view of device operations. The system CP U provides control of all in-
system read, write, and erase operations of the device via the system bus. The on-chip Write State
Machine (WSM) manages all block-erase and word-program algorithms.
Device commands are written to the Command User Interface (CUI) to control all flash memory
device operations. The CUI does not occupy an addressable memory location; it is the mechanism
through which the flash device is controlled.
9.1 Bus Operations
CE#-low and RST# high enable device read operations. The device internally decodes upper
address inputs to determine the accessed partition. ADV#-low opens the internal address latches.
OE#-low activates the outputs and gates selected data onto the I/O bus.
In asynchrono us mode, the address is latch ed when ADV# goes high or contin uously flows throu gh
if ADV# is held low. In synchronous mode, the address is latched by the first of either the rising
ADV# edge or t h e next v al id CLK edge wit h ADV# low (W E# an d R ST# mus t be VI H; CE# mus t
be VIL).
Bus cycles to/from the L30 device conform to standard microprocessor bus operations. Table 7
summarizes the bus o perations and the logic levels that must be applied to the devi ce control s ignal
inputs.

9.1.1 Reads
To perform a read operation, RST# and WE# must be deasserted while CE# and OE# are asserted.
CE# is the device-select control. When asserted, it enables the flash memory device. OE# is the
data-output control. When asserted, the addressed flash memory data is driven onto th e I/O bus.
See Section 10.0, “Read Operations” on page 47 for details on the available read modes, and see
Section 15.0, “Special Read States” on page 72 for details regarding the available read states.
The Automati c Power Savings (APS) f eature provides low p ower oper ation f ollowi ng reads d uring
active mode. After data is read from the memory array and the address lines are quiescent, APS
automatically places the device into standby. In APS, device current is reduced to ICCAPS (see
Section 6.1, “DC Current Characteristics” on page 24).
9.1.2 Writes
To perform a write operation, both CE# and WE# are asserted while RST# and OE# are deasserted.
During a write operation, address and data are latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#,
whichever o ccurs firs t . Table 8, “Command Bus C ycles” on page 44 shows the bus cycle sequence
for each of the supp orted d evice comman ds, while Table 9, “Command Codes and Defini ti ons ” on
page 45 describes each command. See Section 7.0, “AC Characteristics” on page 26 for signal-
timing details.
Note: W rite operations with invalid VCC and/or VPP vol tages can produ ce spuriou s results and s hould not
be attempted.
9.1.3 Output Disable
When OE# is deasserted, device outputs DQ[15:0] are disabled and placed in a high-impedance
(High-Z) state, WAIT is also placed in High-Z.
9.1.4 Standby
When CE# is deasserted the device is deselected and placed in standby, substantially reducing
power consumption. In standby, the data outputs are placed in High-Z, independent of the level
placed on OE# . S tandb y curren t, ICCS, is the average current measured over any 5 ms time int erval,
5 µs after CE# is deasserted. During standby, average current is measured over the same time
interval 5 µs after CE# is deasserted.
When the device is deselected (while CE# is deasserted) during a program or erase operation, it
continues to consume activ e power until th e pro gram or er ase oper ation is completed.
9.1.5 Reset
As with any automated dev ice, it is important to assert RST# when the sy stem is reset. When the
system comes out of reset, the system processo r attemp ts to read from the flash memory if it is the
system boot device. If a CPU reset occurs with no flash memory reset, improper CPU initialization
may occur because the flash memory may be providing status information rather than array data.
Flash memory devices from Intel allow proper CPU initialization following a system reset through
the use of the RST# input. RST# should be controlled by the same low-true reset sig nal that r e sets
the system CPU.

After initial power-up or reset, the device defaults to asy nchr ono us Read Array, and the Status
Register is set to 0x80. Asserting RST# de-energizes all internal circuits, and places the output
drivers in High-Z. When RST# is asserted, the device shuts down the operation in progress, a
process whi ch takes a mi nimum amount of time t o comp lete. When RST# has been deas sert ed, th e
device is reset to asynchronous Read Array state.
Note: If RST# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the operation is terminated and the
memory contents at the aborted lo cation (for a pr ogram) or block (for an erase) are no lon ger valid,
because the data may have been only partially written or erased.
When returning from a reset (RST# deasserted), a minimum wait is required before the initial read
access outputs valid data. Also, a minimum delay is required after a reset before a write cycle can
be initiated. After this wake-up interval passes, normal operation is restored. See Section 7. 0, “A C
Characteristics” on page 26 for details about signal-timing.
9.2 Dev i ce Co mmand s
Device operations are initiated by writing specific device commands to the Command User
Interface (CUI). See Table 8, “Command Bus Cycles” on page 44.
Several commands are used to modify array data including Word Program and Block Erase
commands. Writing either command to the CUI in itiates a sequence of internally-timed functions
that culminate in the completion of the requested task. However, the operation can be aborted by
either asserting RST# or by issuing an appropriate suspend command.

10.0 Read Operations
The device supports two read modes: asynchronous page mode and synchronous burst mode.
Asynchronous page mode is the default read mode after device power-up or a reset. The Read
Configuration Register must be configured to enable synchronous burst reads of the flash memory
array (see Section 10. 3, “Read C onfiguration Register (RCR)” on page 48).
Each partition of the device can be in any of four read states: Read Array, Read Identifier, Read
Status or Read Query. Upon power-up, or after a reset, all partitions of the device default to Read
Array. To change a partition’s read state, the appropriate read command must be written to the
device (see Section 9.2, “Devi ce Commands” on page 44). See Section 15.0, “Special Read S tates”
on page 72 for details regarding Read Status, Read ID, and CFI Query modes.
The following sections describe read-mode operations in detail.
10.1 Asynchronous Page-Mode Read
Following a device power-up or reset, asynchronous page mode is the default read mode and all
partitions are set to Read Array. How ever, to perform array reads after any other device operation
(e.g. write operation), the Read Array command must be issued in order to read from the flash
memory array.
Note: Asynchronous page-mode reads can only be performed when Read Configuration Register bit
RCR[15] is set (see Section 10.3, “ Rea d Configuration Re giste r (RCR)” on pag e 48).
To perform an asynchronous page-mode read, an address is driven onto A[MAX:0], and CE# and
ADV# are asserted. WE# and RST# must already have been deasserted. WAIT is deasserted during
asynchronous page mode. ADV# can be driven high to latch the address, or it must be held low
throughout the read cycle. CLK is not used for asynchronous page-mode reads, and is ignored. If
only asynchronous reads are to be performed, CLK should be tied to a valid VIH level, WAIT
signal can be floated and ADV# must be tied to ground. Array data is driven onto DQ[15:0] after
an initial access time tAVQV delay. (see Section 7.0, “AC Characteristics” on page 26).
In asynchronous page mode, four data words are “sensed” simultaneously from the flash memory
array and loaded into an internal page buffer. The buffer word corresponding to the initial address
on A[MAX:0] is driven onto DQ[15:0] after the initial access delay . Address bits A[MAX:2] select
the 4-word page. Addres s bi ts A[1 :0 ] dete rmine which word of the 4-word page is output from the
data buffer at any given time.
10.2 Synchronous Burst-Mod e Read
Section 10.3, “Read Configuration Register (RCR)” on page 48continu ous-wordsTo perform a
synchronous burst- read, an initial address is driven onto A[MAX:0], and CE# and ADV# are
asserted. WE# and RST# must already have been deasserted. ADV# is asserted, and then
deasserted to latch the address. Alternately, ADV# can remain asserted throug hout the burst access,
in which case the address is latched on the next valid CLK ed ge while ADV# is asserted.
Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30)
April 2005 Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30) Datasheet
48 Order Number: 251903, Revision: 008
During synchronous array and non-array read modes, the first word is output from the data buffer
on the next valid CLK edg e after th e initi al access laten c y delay (see Section 10.3.2, “Latency
Count” on page 50). Subsequent data is output on valid CLK edges following a minimum delay.
However, for a synchronous non-array read, the same word of data will be output on successive
clock edges until the burst length requirements are sat isf ied.
10.2.1 Burst Suspend
The Burst Suspen d feature of the device can reduce or elimin ate the initial access latency incurred
when system sof tware needs to suspen d a bur st sequence that is in p rogress in order to retrieve d ata
from another device on the same system bus. The system processo r can resume the burst sequence
later. Burst suspend provides maximum benefit in non-cache systems.
Burst accesses can be suspended during the initial access latency (before data is received) or after
the device has output data. When a burst access is suspended, internal array sensing continues and
any previously latched internal data is retained. A burst sequence can be suspended and resumed
without limit as lo ng as device operation conditions are met.
Burst Suspend o ccurs when CE# is asserted , the current address has been latched (either ADV#
rising edge or valid CLK edge), CLK is halted, and OE# is deasserted. CLK can be halted when it
is at VIH or VIL. WAIT is in High-Z during OE# deassertion.
To resume the burst access, OE# is reasserted, and CLK is restarted. Subsequent CLK edges
resume the burst sequence.
Within the device, CE# and OE# gate WAIT. Therefore, du ring Burst Suspend WA IT is place d in
high-impedance state when OE# is deasserted and resumed active when OE# is re-asserted. See
Figure 17, “Burst Suspend Timing” on page 33.
10.3 R ead Configuration Register (RCR)
The RCR is used to select the read mode (synchronous or asynchronous), and it defines the
synchronous burst characteristics of the device. To modify RCR settin gs , use the Configure Read
Configuration Register command (see Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 44).
RCR contents can be examined using the Read Device Identifier command , and then reading fr om
<partition base address> + 0x05 (see Section 15.2, “Read Device Identifier” on page 73).
The RCR is sh own in Table 10. The following sections describe each RCR bit.

10.3.1 Read Mode
The Read Mode (RM) bit selects synchronous burst-mode or asynchronous page-mode operation
for the device. When the RM bit is set, asynchronous page mode is selected (default). When RM is
cleared, synchronous burst mode is selected.

10.3.2 Latency Count
The Latency Count bits, LC[2:0], tell the device how many clock cycles must elapse from the
rising edge of ADV# (or from the first valid clock edge after ADV# is asserted) until the first data
word is to be driven onto DQ[15:0]. The input clock frequency is used to determine this value.
Figure 24 shows the data output latency for the di fferent settings of LC[2:0] .
Synchrono us burst wit h a Latency Count sett ing of Code 4 will res ult in zero WAIT state; however ,
a Latency Count setting of Code 5 will cause 1 WAIT state (Code 6 will cause 2 WAIT states, and
Code 7 will cause 3 WAIT states) af ter every four words, r egard less of whether a 16-word
boundary is crossed. If RCR[9] (Data Hold) bit is set (data hold of two clocks) this WAIT condition
will not occur because enough clocks elapse d uring each burst cycle to eliminate subsequent WAIT
states.

10.3.3 WAIT Polarity
The WAIT Polarity bit (WP), RCR[10] determines the asserted level (VOH or VOL) of WAIT.
When WP is set, WAIT is asserted-high (default). When WP is cleared, WAIT is asserted-low.
WAIT changes state on valid clock edges during active bus cycles (CE# asserted, OE# asserted,
RST# deasserted).
10.3.3.1 WAIT Signal Function
The WAIT signal indicates data valid when the device is operating in synchronous mode
(RCR[15]=0). The WAIT signal is only “deasserted” when data is valid on the bus.
When the device is operating in synchro nou s non-array read mode, such as read status, read ID, or
read query the WAIT signal is also “deasserted” when data is valid on the bus.
WAIT behavior during synchronous non-array reads at the end of word line works correctly only
on the first data access.

When the device is operating in asynchronous page mode, asynchronous single word read mode,
and all write operations, WAI T is set to a deasserted state as determined by RCR[10]. See Figure
12, “Asynchronous Single-Word Read (ADV# Latch)” on page 31, and Fig ure 13 , “As yn chronous
Page-Mode Read Timing” on page 31.
10.3.4 Data Hold
For burst read operations, the Data Hold (DH) bit determines whether the data output remains valid
on DQ[15:0] fo r on e or t wo cl ock cycles. This peri od of ti me is call ed t he “ dat a cycle”. When DH
is set, output data is held for two clocks (default). Wh en DH is cleared, output data is held for one
clock (see Figu re 26). The pr ocesso rs data setup time and the flash memory’s clock-to -data output
delay should be consi dered when determi ning whet her to hold out put data for one or two clock s. A
method for determi ning the Data Hold configuration is sh own bel ow:
To set the device at one clock data hold for su b seq uent reads , the foll owing cond ition must be
satisfied:tCHQV (ns) + tDATA (ns) One CLK Period (ns)
tDATA = Data set up to Clock (defined by CPU)
For example, with a clock frequency of 40 MHz, the clock period is 25 ns. Assuming
tCHQV = 20 ns and tDATA = 4ns. Applying these values to the formula above:
20 ns + 4 ns 25 ns
The equation is satisfied and data will be available at every clock period with data hold setting at
on e cloc k. If tCHQV (ns) + tDATA (ns) > One CLK Period (ns), data hold setting of 2 clock periods
must be used.

10.3.5 WAIT Delay
The WAIT Delay (WD) bit controls the WAIT assertion-delay behavior during synchronous burst
reads. WAIT can be asserted either during or one data cycle before valid data is output on
DQ[15:0]. When WD is set, WAIT is deasserted one data cycle before valid data (default). When
WD is cleared, WAIT is deasserted during valid data.
10.3.6 Burst Sequence
The Burst Sequence (BS) bit selects linear-burst sequence (default). Only linear-burst sequence is
supported. Table 13 shows the synchronous bur st seq uence for all burst lengths, as well as the
effect of the Burst Wrap (BW) setting.

10.3.7 Clock Edge
The Clock Edge (CE) bit selects either a rising (default) or falling clock edge for CLK. This clock
edge is used at the start of a burst cycle, to output synchronous data, and to assert/deassert WAIT.
10.3.8 Burst Wrap
The Burst Wrap (BW ) bit determines whether 4-word, 8-word, or 16-word burst length accesses
wrap within the selected word-length boundaries or cross word-length boundaries. When BW is
set, burst wrapping does not occur (default). When BW is cleared, burst wrapping occurs.
When performing synchronous burst reads with BW set (no wrap), an output delay may occur
when the burst sequence crosses its first device-row (16-word) boundary. If the burst sequence’s
start address is 4-word aligned, then no delay occurs. If the start address is at the end of a 4-word
boundary, the worst case output delay is one clock cycle less than the first access Latency Count.
This delay can take place only once, and doesn’t occur if the burst sequence does not cross a
device-row boundary. WAIT informs the system of this delay when it occurs.
10.3.9 Burst Length
The Burst Length bit (BL[2: 0]) sel ects the linear bur st len gth for all sy nchr onous burs t reads of the
flash memory array. The burst lengths are 4-word, 8-wo rd, 16-w ord, an d continuous wor d.
Continuous-bur st accesses are linear on ly, and do not wrap within any word leng th boundar ies (see
Table 13, “Burst Sequen ce Word Ordering” on pa ge 53). When a burst cycle begins, the device
outputs synchr ono us burst dat a until it reaches the end of the “burstabl e” address space.

11.0 Programm ing Op eratio ns
The device supports three programming method s: Word Programming (40h/10h), Buffer ed
Programming (E8h, D0h), and Buffered Enhanced Factory Programming (Buffered EFP) (80h,
D0h). See Section 9.0, “Device Operations” on page 42 for details on the various programming
commands issued to the device.
Successful programming requires the addressed block to be unlocked. If the block is locked down,
WP# must be deasserted and the block must be unlocked before attempting to program the block.
Attempting to program a locked block causes a program error (SR[4] and SR[1] set) and
termination of the operation. See Section 13.0, “Secu ri ty Mo des” on pag e 63 for details on locking
and unlocking blocks.
The following sections describe device programming in detail.
11.1 Word Programming
Word programming operations are initiated by writing the Word Program Setup command to the
device (see Section 9.0, “Device Oper ations” on page 42). This is followed by a second write to the
device with the address and data to be programmed. The partition accessed during both write
cycles outputs Status Register data when read. The partition accessed during the second cycle (the
data cycle) of the program command sequence is the location where the data is written. See Figure
39, “Word Program Flowchart” on page 82.
Programming can occur in only one partition at a time; all other partitions must be in a read state or
in erase suspend. VPP must be abov e VPPLK, and within the specified VPPL min/max values
(nominally 1.8 V ).
During programming, the Write State Machine (WSM) executes a sequence of internally-timed
events that program the desired data bits at the addressed location, and verifies that the bits are
sufficiently programmed. Programming the flash memory array changes “ones” to “zeros.
Memory array bits that are zeros can be changed to ones only by erasing the block (see Section
12.0, “ Eras e Operati ons” on pa ge 61).
The Status Regist er can be examined for programming progress and errors by reading any address
within the partition that is being programmed. The partition rem a ins in the Read Status Register
state until another command is written to that partition. Issuing the Read Status Register command
to another partition address sets that partition to the Read Status Register state, allo wing
programming progress to be monitored at that partition’s address.
Status Register bit SR[7] indicates the programming status while the sequence executes.
Commands that can be issued to th e program ming partition during programming are Program
Suspend, Read Status Register, Read Device Identifier, CFI Query, and Read Array (this returns
unknown data).
When programming has finished, Status Register bit SR[4] (when set) indicates a programming
failure. If SR[3] is set, the WSM could not perform the word programming operation because VPP
was outside of its acceptable limits. If SR[1] is set, the word programming operation attempted to
program a locked block, causing the operation to abort.

56 Order Number: 251903, Revision: 008
Before issuing a new command, the Status Register contents should be
examined and then cleared using the Clear Status Register command. Any valid command can
follow, when word programming has completed.
11.1.1 Factory Word Programming
Factory word pr ogr amming i s simil ar to wor d progr amming in that i t uses the sam e commands and
programming algorithms. However, factory word programming enhances the programming
performance with VPP = VPPH. This can enable faster programming times during OEM
manufacturing process es. Factory word pro gramming is not intended for extended use. See Section
5.2, “Operating Conditions ” on page 23 for limitations when VPP = VPPH.
Note: When VPP = VPPL, the device draws programming current from the VCC supply. If VPP is driven
by a logic signal, VPPL must remain above VPPL MIN to program the device. When VPP = VPPH,
the device draws programming current from the VPP suppl y. Figure 27, “Example VPP Supply
Connections” on page 60 shows examples of device power supply configurations.
11.2 Buffered Progra mming
The device features a 32-word buffer to enable optimum programming performance. For Buffered
Programming, data is first written to an on-chip write buffer. Then the buffer data is programmed
into the flash memory array in buffer-size increments. This can improve system programming
performance si g nifi cantl y over non-bu ffered pro gramm ing.
When the Buf fered Progr amming Setup co mmand is issu ed ( see Section 9.2, “Device Commands”
on page 44), Status Register information is updated and reflects the availability of the buffer. SR[7]
indicates buffer availability: if set, the buffer is available; if cleared, the buffer is not available. To
retry, issue the Buffered Programming Setup command again, and re-check SR[7]. When SR[7] is
set, the buffer is ready for loading. (see Figure 41, “Buffer Program Flowchart” on page 84).
On the next write, a word count is written to the device at the buffer address. This tells the device
how many data words will be written to the buffer, up to the max imum size o f the b uffer.
On the next write, a device start address is given along with the first data to be written to the flash
memory array. Subsequent writes provide additional device addresses and data. All data addresses
must lie within the start address plus the word count. Optimum programming performance and
lower power usage are obtained by aligning the starting address at the beginning of a 32-word
boundary (A [4:0] = 0x00). C rossing a 32-wor d boundary duri ng programm ing will double th e total
programming time.
After the last data is written to the buffer, the Buffered Programming Confirm command m us t be
issued to the original block address. The WSM begins to program buffer contents to the flash
memory array. If a command o ther than the Buf fered Programm ing Confirm command is written to
the device, a command sequence error occur s and S tatus Reg ister bits SR[7,5,4 ] are set. If an error
occurs while writing to the array, the device stops programming, and Status Register bits SR[7,4]
are set, indicating a programming failure.
Reading from another partition is allowed while data is being programmed into the array from the
write buffer (see Figure 41, “Buf fer Program Flowchar t” on page 84).
When Buffered Programming has co m pleted, additional buffer writes can be initiated by issuing
another Buffered Programming Setup command and repeating the buffered program sequence.
Buffered programming may be performed with VPP = VPPL or VPPH (see Section 5.2, “Operating
Conditions” on page 23 for limitations when operatin g the device with VPP = VPPH).
Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30)
Datasheet Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30) April 2005
Order Number: 251903, Revision: 008 57
If an attempt is made to program past an erase-block boundary using the Buffered Program
command, the device aborts the operation. This generates a command sequence error, and Status
Register bits SR[5,4] are set.
If Buffered programming is attempted while VPP is below VPPLK, Status Register bits SR[4,3] are
set. If any errors are detected that have set Status Register bits, the Status Register should be
cleared using the Clear Status Register command.
11.3 Buffered Enhanced Factory Programming
Buffered Enhanced Factory Programing (Buffered EFP) speeds up Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash
programming for t oday ' s beat-rat e-s ens it ive manufacturing environments. The enhanced
programming algor ithm used in Buffered EFP eliminates traditional progr amming elements that
drive up overhead in device programmer systems.
Buffered EFP consists of three phases: Setup, Program/Verify, and Exit (see Figure 42, “Buffered
EFP Flowchart” on page 85). It us es a w rite buffer t o spread MLC program pe rformance acros s 3 2
data words. Verification occurs in the same phase as programming to accurately program the flash
memory cell to the correct bit state.
A single two-cycle command sequence programs the entire block of data. This enhancement
eliminates three write cycles per buffer: two commands and the word count for each set of 32 data
words. Host programmer bus cycles fill the device’s write buffer followed by a status check. SR[0]
indicates when data from the buffer has been programmed into sequential flash memory array
locations.
Following the buffer-to-f las h array programmi ng sequence, the Write State Machine (WSM)
increments internal addressing to automatically select the next 32-word array boundary. This
aspect of Buffered EFP saves host programming equipment the address-bus setup overhead.
With adequate continuity testing, programming equipment can rely on the WSM’s internal
verification to ensure that the device has programmed properly. This eliminates the external post-
program verification and its associated overhead.
11.3.1 Buffered EFP Requirements and Considerations
Buff e red EFP requirem ent s:
Ambient temperature: TA = 25°C, ±5°C
VCC within specified operating range.
VPP driven to VPPH.
Target block unlocked before issuing the Buffered EFP Setup and Confirm commands.
The first-wor d address (WA0) for the block to be programmed mu st be held co ns tan t from the
setup phase through all data streaming into the target block, until transition to the exit phase is
desired.
WA0 must align with the start of an array buffer boundary1.
Buffered EFP cons iderat ions :
For optimum performance, cycling must be limited below 100 erase cycles per block2.
Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30)
April 2005 Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30) Datasheet
58 Order Number: 251903, Revision: 008
Buffered EFP programs one block at a time; all buffer data must fall within a single block3.
Buffered EFP cannot be suspended.
Programming to the flash memory array can occur only when the buffer is full4.
Read operation while performing Buffered EFP is not supported.
NOTES:
1. Word buffer boundaries in the array are determined by A[4:0] (0x00 through 0x1F). The alignment start
point is A[4:0] = 0x00.
2. Some degradation in performance may occur if this limit is exceeded, but the internal algorithm
continues to work properly.
3. If the internal address counter increments beyond the block's maximum address, addressing wraps
around to the beginning of the block.
4. I f the number of words is less than 32, remaining locations must be filled with 0xFFFF.
11.3.2 Buffered EFP Setup Phase
After receiving the Buff ered EFP Setup and Confirm command sequence, S tatus Register bit SR[7]
(Ready) is cleared, indicating that the WSM is busy with Buffered EFP algorithm startup. A delay
before checking SR[7 ] is requ ir e d to allo w the WSM en ough time to perform all of its setups and
checks (Block-Lock status, VPP level, etc.). If an error is detected, SR[4] is set and Buffered EFP
operation terminates. If the block was found to be locked, SR[1] is also set. SR[3] is set if the error
occurred due to an incorrect VPP level.
Note: Reading from the device after the Buffered EFP Setup and Confirm command sequence outputs
Status Register data. Do not issue the Read Status Register command; it will be interpreted as data
to be loaded into the buffer.
11.3.3 Buffered EFP Program/Verify Phase
After the Buffered EFP Setup Phase has completed, the host programming system must check
SR[7,0] to determine the availability of the write buffer for data streaming. SR[7] cleared indicates
the device is busy and the Buffered EFP program/verify phase is activated. SR[0] indicates the
write buffer is available.
Two basic sequences repeat in this phase: loading of the write buffer, followed by buffer data
programming to the array. For Buffered EFP, the count value for buffer loading is always the
maximum buffer size of 32 words . D urin g t he buffer-loading sequence, d ata is stored to sequential
buffer locations starting at address 0x00. Programming of the buffer contents to the flash memory
array starts as soon as the buffer is full. If the number of words is less than 32, the remaining buffer
locations must be filled with 0xFFFF.
Caution: The buffer must be completely filled for pro gramming to occur. Supplying an address outside of the
current block's range during a buffer-fill sequence causes the algorith m to exit immediately. Any
data previously loaded into the buffer during the fill cycle is not programmed into the array.
The starting address for data entry must be buffer size aligned, if not the Buffered EFP algorithm
will be aborted and the program fail (SR[4]) flag w ill be set.
Data words from the write buffer are directed to sequential memory locations in the flash memory
array; programming continues from where the previous buffer sequence ended. The host
programming system must po ll SR[0] to determine when the buffer program sequence completes.
SR[0] cleared indicates that all buffer data has been transferred to the flash array; SR[0] set
indicates that the buffer is not available yet for the next fill cycle. The host system may check full

status for errors at an y time, b ut it is only necessary on a block basi s after Buffered EFP exit. After
the buff er fill cycle, no write cycles should be issued to the device until SR[0] = 0 and the device is
ready for the next buffer fill.
Note: Any spurious writes are ignored after a buffer fill operation and when internal program is
proceeding.
The host programming system continues the Buffered EFP algorithm by providing the next group
of data words to be written to th e buffer. Alternatively, it can terminate this phase by changin g the
block address to one outside of the current block’s range.
The Program/Verify phase concludes when the programmer writes to a different block address;
data supplied must be 0xFFFF. Upon Program/Verify phase completion, the device enters the
Buffered EFP Exi t phase.
11.3.4 Buffered EFP Exit Phase
When SR[7] is set, the device has returned to normal operating conditions. A full status check
should be performed on the partition being programmed at this time to ensure the entire block
programmed successfully. When exiting the Buffered EFP algorithm with a block address change,
the read mode of both the programmed and the addressed partition will not change. After Buffered
EFP exit, any valid command can be issued to the device.
11.4 Program Suspend
Issuing t he P rog ram Sus pend comman d w hil e pro gram mi ng s us pend s the p rog rammi ng oper at ion.
This allows data to be accessed from memory location s ot her than the one bein g p rog rammed . Th e
Program Suspend command can b e is sued to any dev i ce add ress; the correspon ding partition is no t
affected. A program operation can be suspended to perform reads only. Additionally, a progra m
operation that is running during an erase suspend can be suspended to perform a read operation
(see Figure 40, “Program Suspend/Resume Flowchart” on page 83).
When a programming operation is executing, issuing the Program Suspend command requests the
WSM to suspend the programming algorithm at predetermined points. The partition that is
suspended continues to ou t put Status Regist er da ta after the Program Suspend command is issued.
Programming is su spen ded when S t atus Regis t er bits SR[7,2] are set. Suspend latency is specified
in Section 7.6, “Program and Erase Characteristics” on page 38.
To read data from blocks with in the su spended partition, the Read Array command must b e issued
to that partition. Read Array, Read Status Register, Read Device Identifier, CFI Query, and
Program Resume are valid commands during a program suspend.
A program operation does not need to be suspended in order to read data from a block in another
partition that is not programming. If the other partition is already in a Read Array, Read Dev ice
Identifier, or CFI Query state, issuing a valid add ress returns corresponding read data. If the other
partition is not in a read mode, one of the read commands must be issu ed to th e partition before
data can be read.
During a program suspend, deasserting CE# places the device in standby, reducing active current.
VPP must remain at its programming level, and WP# must remain unchanged while in program
suspend. If RST# is asserted, the device is reset.

11.5 Program Resume
The Resume command instructs the device to continue programming, and automatically clears
Status Register bits SR[7,2]. This command can be written to any partition. When read at the
partition that’s programming, the device outputs data corr esp onding to the partition’s last state. If
error bits are set, the Status Register should be cleared before issuing the next instruction. RST#
must remain deasserted (see Figure 40, “Program Suspend/Resume Flowchart” on page 83).
11.6 Program Protection
When VPP = VIL, absolute hardware write protection is provided for all device blocks. If VPP is
below VPPLK, programming operations halt and SR[3] is set indicating a VPP-level error. Block
lock registers are not affected by th e vo ltag e level on VPP; they may still be programmed and read,
even if VPP is less than VPPLK.

12.0 Erase Operations
Flash erasing is performed on a block basis. An entire block is erased each time an erase command
sequence is issued, and only one block is erased at a time. When a block is erased, all bits within
that block read as logical ones. The following sections describe block erase operations in detail.
12.1 Block Erase
Block erase operations are initiate d by writing the Block Erase Setup command to the address of
the block to be erased (see Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 44). Next, the Block Erase
Confirm command is written to the address of the block to be erased. Er asing can occur in only one
partition at a time; all other partitions must be in a read state. If the device is placed in standby
(CE# deasserted) during an erase operation, the device completes the erase operation before
entering standby.VPP must be abo ve VPPLK and the blo ck must be un locked (see Figure 4 3, “B lock
Erase Flowchart” on page 86).
During a block erase, the Write State Machine (WSM) executes a sequence of internally-timed
events that cond itions, erases, and verifies all bits wi thin the block. Eras ing the flash m emory arra y
changes “zeros” to “ones.” Memory array bits that are ones can be changed to zeros only by
programming the block (see Section 11.0, “Programming Operations” on page 55).
The Status Register can be examined for block erase progress and errors by reading any address
within the partition that is being erased. The partitio n remains in the Read Status Register state
until another command is written to that partition. Issuing the Read Status Register command to
another partition addr ess sets that partitio n to the Read Status Register state, allowing erase
progress to be monitored at that partition’ s address. SR[0] indicates whether the addressed partition
or another partition is erasing. The partition’s Status Register bit SR[7] is set upon erase
completion.
Status Register bit SR[7] indicates block erase status while the sequence executes. When the erase
operation has fi nis hed, Status Regis t er bit SR[5] in dicates an erase failure if set. SR[3] set would
indicate that the WSM could not perform the erase operation because VPP was outside of its
acceptable limits. SR[1] set indicates that the erase operation attempted to erase a locked block,
causing the operation to abort.
Before issuing a new command, the Status Register contents should be examined and then cleared
using the Clear Status Register command. Any valid command can follow once the block erase
operation has completed.
12.2 Erase Suspend
Issuing the Erase Suspend command while erasing s uspends the block eras e operation. This allows
data to be accessed from memory locations other than the one being erased. The Erase Suspend
command can be issued to any device address; the corresponding partition is not affected. A block
erase operation can be suspended to perform a word or buffer program operation, or a read
operation within any block except the block that is erase suspended (see Figure 40, “Program
Suspend/Resume Flowchart” on page 83).
Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30)
April 2005 Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30) Datasheet
62 Order Number: 251903, Revision: 008
When a block eras e operation is executing, is suing the Er ase Suspend command requests the WSM
to suspend the erase algorithm at predetermined points. The partition that is suspended continues to
output Status Register data after the Erase Suspend command is issued. Block erase is suspended
when Status Register bits SR[7,6] are set. Suspend latency is specified in Section 7.6, “Program
and Erase Characteristics” on page 38.
To read data from blocks within the suspended partition (other than an erase-suspended block), the
Read Array command mus t be issued to that partition first. During Erase Suspend, a Program
command can be issued to any block other than the erase-suspended block. Block erase cannot
resume until program o perations initiated durin g erase s uspend comp lete. Read Ar ray, Read Status
Register, Read Device Identifier, CFI Query, and Erase Resume are valid commands during Erase
Suspend. Additionally, Clear Status Register, Program, Program Suspend, Block Lock, Block
Unlock, and Block Lock-Down are valid commands during Erase Suspend.
To read data from a block in a partition th at is not erasing, the erase operation does not need to be
suspended. If the other partitio n is already in Read Array, Read Device Identifier, or CFI Query,
issuing a valid address returns corresponding data. If the other partition is not in a read state, one of
the read commands must be issued to the partition before data can be read.
During an erase suspend, deasserting CE# places the device in standby, reducing active current.
VPP must remain at a valid level, and WP# must remain unchanged while in erase suspend. If
RST# is asserted, the device is reset.
12.3 Erase Resume
The Erase Resume command instructs the device to continue erasing, and automatically clears
status register bits SR[7,6]. This command can be written to any partition. When read at the
partition that’s erasing, the device outputs da ta corr esponding to the partition’s last state. If status
register error bits are set, the Status Register should be cleared before issuing the next instruction.
RST# must remain deasserted (see Figure 40, “Program Suspend/Resume Flowchart” on page 83).
12.4 Erase Protection
When VPP = VIL, absolute hardware erase protection is provided for all device blocks. If VPP is
below VPPLK, erase operations halt and SR[3] is set indicating a VPP-level error.

13.0 Security Modes
The device features security modes used to protect the information stored in the flash memory
array. The following sections describe each security mode in detail.
13.1 Block Locking
Individual instant block locking is used to protect user code a nd/or data within th e flash memory
array. All blocks power up in a locked state to protect array data from being altered during power
transitions. An y blo ck can be locked or unlocked with no latency. Locked blocks cannot be
programmed or erased; they can only be read.
Software-controlled security is implemented us ing the Block Lock and Bloc k Unlock commands.
Hardware-controlled security can be implemented using the Block Lock-Down command along
with asserting WP#. Also , VPP data security can be used to inhibit program and erase operations
(see Section 11.6, “Program Protection” on page 60 and Section 12.4, “Erase Protection” on
page 62).
13.1.1 Lock Block
To lock a block, issue the Lock Block Setup command. The nex t command must be th e Lock Block
command issued to the desired block’s address (see Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 44
and Figure 45, “Block Lock Operations Flowchart” on page 88). If the Set Read Configuratio n
Register command is issued after the Block Lock Setup command, the device configures the RCR
instead.
Block lock and unlock operations are not affected by the voltage level on VPP. The block lock bits
may be modified and/or read even if VPP is below VPPLK.
13.1.2 Unlock Block
The Unlock Block command is used to unlock blocks (see Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on
page 44). Unlocked blocks can be read, programmed, and erased. Unlocked blocks return to a
locked state when the device is reset or powered down. If a block is in a lock-down state, WP#
must be deasserted before it can be unlocked (see Figure 28, “Block Locking State Diagram” on
page 64).
13.1.3 Lock-Down Block
A locked or unlocked block can be locked-down by writing the Lock-Down Block command
sequence (see Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 44). Blocks in a lock-down state cannot
be programm ed o r er ased; they can only be read. However, unlike locked blocks, their locked st ate
cannot be changed by software commands alone. A locked-down block can only be unlocked by
issuing the Unlock Block command with WP# deasserted. To return an unlocked block to locked-
down state, a Lock-Down command must be issued prior to changing WP# to VIL. Locked-down
blocks revert to the locked state upon reset or power up the device (see Figu re 28, “Block Lock i ng
State Diagram” on page 64).

64 Order Number: 251903, Revision: 008
13.1.4 Block Lock Status
The Read Device Identifier command is used to determine a block’s lock status (see Section 15.2,
“Read Device Identifier” on p age 73). Data bits DQ[1:0] display the addressed block’s lock status;
DQ0 is the addressed block’s lock bit, while DQ1 is the addressed block’s lock-down bit.
13.1.5 Block Locking During Suspend
Block lock and unlock changes can be performed during an erase suspend. To change block
locking during an erase operation, first issue the Erase Suspend command. Monitor the Status
Register until SR[7] and SR[6] are set, indicating the device is suspended and ready to accept
another command.
Next, write the desired lock command sequence to a block, which changes the lock state of that
block. After completing block lock or unlock operations, resume the erase operation using the
Erase Resume command.
Note: A Lock Block Setup command followed by any command other than Lock Block, Unlock Block,
or Lock-Down Block produces a command sequence error and set Status Register bits SR[4] and
SR[5]. If a co mmand s equen ce err or occurs during an eras e sus pen d, SR[4] and SR[5] rem a ins set,
even after the erase operation is resumed. Unless the Status Register is cleared using the Clear
Status Register command before resuming the erase operation, possible erase errors may be
masked by the command sequence error.

If a block is locked or locked-down during an erase suspend of the same block, the lock stat us bits
change immediately. However, the erase operation completes when it is resumed. Block lock
operations cannot occur during a program suspend. See Appendix A, “Write State Machine
(WSM)” on page 75, which shows valid commands during an erase suspend.
13.2 Protection Registers
The device contains 17 Protection Registers (PRs) that can be used to implement system security
measures and/or device identification. Each Protection Register can be individually locked.
The first 128-bit Protection Register is comprised of two 64-bit (8-word) segments. The lower 64-
bit segment is pre-programmed at the factory with a unique 64-bit number. The other 64-bit
segment, as well as the other sixteen 128-bit Protection Registers, are blank. Users can program
these registers as needed. When programmed, users can then lock the Protection Register(s) to
prevent additional bit programming (see Figure 29, “Protection Register Map” on page 66).
The user-programmable Protection Registers contain one-time programmable (OTP) bits; when
programmed, register bits cannot be erased. Each Protection Register can be accessed multiple
times to program individua l bi ts, as long as the register remains unlo cked.
Each Protection Register has an associated Lock Register bit. When a Lock Register bit is
programmed, the associated Protection Register can on ly be read; it can no longer be program med.
Additionally, because the Lock Register bits themselv es are OTP, when programmed, Lock
Register bits cannot be erased. Therefore, when a Protection Register is locked, it cannot be
unlocked

.
13.2.1 Reading the Protection Registers
The Protection Registers can be read from within any partition’s address space. To read the
Protection Register, first issue the Read Device Identifier command at any partitions’ address to
place that partition in the Read Device Identifier state (see Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on
page 44). Next, perform a read operation at that partitions base address plus the address offset
corresponding to the register to be read. Table 16, “Device Identifier Information” on page 74
shows the address offsets of the Protection Registers and Lock Registers. Register data is read 16
bits at a time.
Note: If a program or erase operation occurs within the device while it is reading a Protection Register,
certain restrictions may apply. See Table 14, “Simultaneous Operat ion Restr ictions” on page 71 for
details.

13.2.2 Programming the Protection Registers
To program any of the Protection Registers, first issue the Program Protection Register command
at the parameter partitions b a se address plus the offset to the desired Protection Register (see
Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 44). Next, write the desired Pro tection Register data to
the same Protection Register address (see Figure 29, “Protection Register Map” on page 66).
The device programs the 64-bit and 128-bit user-programmable Protection Register data 16 bits at
a time (see Figure 46, “Protection Register Programming Flowchart” on page 89). Issuing the
Program Protection Register command outside of the Protection Register’s address space causes a
program error (SR[4] set). Attempting to program a locked Protection Register causes a program
error (SR[4] set) and a lock error (SR[1] set).
Note: If a program or erase operation occurs when programming a Protect i on Regis t er, certain
restrictions may app ly. See Table 14, “Simult aneous O peration Res trictions” on pag e 71 for d etails .
13.2.3 Locking the Protection Registers
Each Protection Register can be locked by programming its respective lock bit in the Lock
Register. To lock a Protection Register, program the corresponding bit in the Lock Register by
issuing the Program Lock Register command, followed by the desired Lock Register data (see
Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 44). The physical addresses of the Lock Registers are
0x80 for register 0 and 0x89 for register 1. These addresses are used when programming the lock
registers (see Table 16, “Device Identifier Information” on page 74).
Bit 0 of Lock Register 0 is already programmed at the factory, locking the lower, pre-programmed
64-bit reg ion of t he first 128 -bit P rotection Regist er containi ng the uni que iden tificatio n number o f
the device. Bit 1 of Lock Reg ister 0 can be pro grammed by the user to lock the user- programmable,
64-bit region of the first 128-bit Protection Register. The other bits in Lock Register 0 are not used.
Lock Register 1 controls the locking of the upper sixteen 128-bit Pr otection Registers. Each of the
16 bits of Lock Register 1 correspond to each of the upper sixteen 128-bit Protection Registers.
Programming a bit in Lock Register 1 locks the corresponding 128-bit Protection Register.
Caution: Af ter being locked, the Protectio n Registers cannot be un locked.

14.0 Dual-Operation Considerations
The multi-partition architecture of the device allows background programming (or erasing) to
occur in one partition while data reads (or code execution) take place in another partition.
14.1 Memory Partitioning
The L30 flash memory array is divided into multiple 8-Mbit partitions, which allows simultaneous
read-while- wri te op erati ons . Simu l t aneou s pro gram and erase i s not all owe d. Only on e part iti on at
a time can be in program or erase mode.
The flash dev ice supports read-while-write o perations with bus cycle granular ity and not command
granularity . In other words, it is not assumed that both bus cycles of a two cy cle command (an erase
command for example) will always occur as back to back bus cycles to the flash device. In
practice, code fetches (reads) may be interspersed between write cycles to the flash device, and
they will likely be directed to a different partition than the one being written. This is especially true
when a processor is executing code from one partition that instructs the processor to program or
erase in another partition.
14.2 Read-While-W rite Command Sequences
When issuing commands to the device, a read operation can occur between 2-cycle Write
command’s (Figure 30, and Figure 31). However, a write operation issued between a 2-cycle
commands write sequence causes a command sequence error. (See Figure 32)
When reading from the same partitio n after issuing a Setup command, Status Register data is
returned, regardless of the read mo de of the partition prior to issuin g the Setu p com mand.

14.2.1 Simultaneous Opera ti o n Details
The Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L30) supports simultaneous read from one partition
while programming or erasing in any other partition. Certain features like the Protectio n Registers
and Query d ata have sp ecial req uirements with res pect to simultaneous o peration cap ability. These
will be detailed in the following sections.

W19 and W20 - tWHCV and tWHVH
The AC parameters W19 or W20 (tWHCV-WE# High to Clock Valid, and tWHVH - WE# High to
ADV# High) is required when transitioning from a write cycle (WE# going high) to perform a
synchronous burst read. A delay from WE# going high to a valid clock edge or ADV# going high
to latch a new address must be met.
14.2.2.3 Wri te Operation with Clock Active
W21 - tVHWL
W22 - tCHWL
The AC parameters W21 (tVHWL- ADV# High to WE# Low) and W22 (tCHWL -Clock high to
WE# low) are required when the device is in a synchronous mode and clock is active. A write bus
cycle consists of two parts:
the host provides an address to the flash device; and
the host then provides data to the flash device.
The flash device in turn binds the received data with the received address. When operating
synchrono usly (RC R[15] = 0) , the addr ess of a writ e cycle may be pr ovide d to the flash by the fir st
active clock edge with ADV# low, or rising edge of ADV# as long as the applicable cycle
separation conditions are met between each cycle.
If neither a cl ock edg e nor a ris ing ADV# edge is used to provid e a new ad dress at the begi nning of
a write cycle (the clock is stopped and ADV# is low), the address may also be provided to the flash
device by holding the address bus stable for the required amount of time (W5, tAVWH) before the
rising WE# e dge.
Alternatively, the host may choose not to provide an address to the flash device during subsequent
write cycles (if ADV# is high and only CE# or WE# is toggled to separate the prior cycle fro m the
current write cycle). In this case, the flash device will use the most recently provided address from
the host.
Refer to Figure 20, “Write to Asynchronous Read Timing” on page 36, Figure 21, “Synchrono us
Read to Write Timing” on page 36, and Figure 22, “Write to Synchronous Read Timing” on
page 37, for representation of these timings.
14.2.3 Read Operation During Buffered Programming Flowchart
The multi-partition architecture of the device allows background programming (or erasing) to
occur in one partition while data reads (or code execution) take place in another partition.
To perform a read while buffered programming operation, first issue a Buffered Program set up
command in a partition. W hen a read operatio n occurs in the same partition after issuin g a setup
command, Status Register data will be returned, regardless of the read mode of the partition prior to
issuing the setup command.
To read data from a block in other partition and the other partiti on alr eady in read array mode, a
new block address must be issued. However , if the other partition is not already in read array mode,
issuing a read array command will cause the buffered program operation to abort and a command
sequence error would be p osted in the S t atus Register. See Fi gu re 41, “Buffer Pro gram Flowch art
on page 84 for more details.

14.3 Simultaneous Operation Restrictions
Since the Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory (L 30) supports simultan e ous r ead from one
partition while progr ammin g or erasing in another partition, certain features like the Protection
Registers and CFI Query data have special requirements with respect to simultaneous oper ation
capability. (Table 14 provides details on rest r iction s dur in g simul ta neo us operati ons .)

Partitions Notes
Read (See Notes) Write/Erase
While programming or erasing in a main partition, the Protection
Register or CFI data may be read from any other partition.
Reading the parameter partition array data is not allowed if the
Protection Register or Query data is being read from addresses
within the parameter partition.
(See Notes) Read Write/Erase
While programming or erasing in a main partition, read operations
are allowed in the parameter partition.
Accessing the Protection Registers or CFI data from parameter
partition addresses is not allowed when reading array data from the
parameter partition.
Read Read Write/Erase
While programming or erasing in a main partition, read operations
are allowed in the parameter partition.
Accessing the Protection Registers or CFI data in a partition that is
different from the one being programed/erased, and also different
from the parameter partition is allowed.
Write No Access
Allowed Read
While programming the Protection Register, reads are only allowed
in the other main partitions.
Access to array data in the parameter partition is not allowed.
Programming of the Protection Register can only occur in the
parameter partition, which means this partition is in Read Status.
No Access
Allowed Write/Erase Read While programming or erasing the parameter partition, reads of the
Protection Registers or CFI data are not allowed in any partition.
Reads in partitions other than the parameter partition are supported.

15.0 Special Read States
The following sections describe non-array read states. Non-array reads can be performed in
asynchrono us read or s ynchron ous bur st mode. A n on-array read o peration occ urs as as ynchro nous
single-word mode. When non-array reads are performed in asynchronous page mode only the first
data is valid and all subsequent data are undefined. When a non-array read operation occurs as
synchronous burst mode, the same word of data requested will be output on successive clock edges
until the burst length requirements are satisfied.
Each partition can be in one of its read s tates independent of other partitions’ modes. See Fig ure 1 1,
“Asynchronous Single-Word Read (ADV# Low)” on page 30, Figure 12, “Asynchronous Single-
Word Read (ADV# Latch)” on page 31, and Fi gure 14, “Synchronous Si ngle-Wo rd Ar ray or Non-
array Read T i ming ” on page 32 for details.
15.1 Read Status Register
The status of any partition is deter mi ned by re ading the Status Register from the address of that
particular partition. To read the S tatus Register , issue the Read S tatus Register command within the
desired partition’ s address range. Status Register information is available at the partition address to
which the Read Status Register, Word Program, or Block Erase command was issued. Status
Register data is automatically made available following a Word Program, Block Erase, or Block
Lock command sequence. Reads fr om a partiti on afte r any of these command seq uences o ut puts
that partition’s status until another vali d comman d is written to that partition (e.g. Read Array
command).
The Status Register is read using single asynchronous-mode or synchronous burst mode reads.
Status Register data is output on DQ[7:0], while 0x00 is output on DQ[15:8]. In asynchronous
mode the falling edge of OE#, or CE# (whichever occurs first) updates and latches the Status
Register contents. However, reading the Status Regist er in sy nchr onous burst mode, CE# or ADV#
must be toggled to update status data. The Status Register read operations do not affect the read
state of the other partitions.
The Device Write Status bit (SR[7]) provides overall status of the device. The Partition Status bit
(SR[0]) in dicates whether the addressed partition or so me other partition is activ ely programming
or erasing. Status register bits SR[6:1] present status and error informatio n about the program,
erase, suspend, VPP, and block-locked operations.

Order Number: 251903, Revision: 008 73
Always clear the Status Register prior to resuming erase operations. This avoids Status Register
ambiguity when issuing commands during Erase Suspend. If a command sequence error occurs
during an erase-suspend state, the Status Register contains the command sequence error status
(SR[7,5,4] set). When the erase operation resumes and finishes, possible errors during the erase
operation cannot be detected via the Status Register because it contains the previous error status.
15.1.1 Clear Status Register
The Clear Status Register command clears the status register, leaving all partition read states
unchanged. It functions independent of VPP. The Write State Machine (WSM) sets and clears
SR[7,6,2,0], but it sets bits SR[5:3,1] without clearing them. The Status Reg ister s hould be c lear ed
before starting a command sequence to avoid any ambiguity. A device reset also clears the Status
Register.
15.2 Read Device Identifier
The Read Device Identifier command instructs the addressed partition to output manu fact urer
code, device identifier code, block-lock status, protection register data, or configuration register
data when that partition’s addresses are read (see Section 9.2, “ Devi ce Co mmand s” on page 44 for
details on issuing the Read Device Identifier command). Table 16, “Device Identifier Information”
on page 74 and Table 17, “Device ID codes” on page 74 show the address offsets and data values
for this device.
Issuing a Read Dev ice Identifier com mand to a part ition that is programm ing or erasing places that
partition in the Read Identifier state while the partitio n continues to program or erase in the
background.
5 Erase Status (ES) 0 = Erase suc cess ful.

4 Program Status (PS) 0 = Program successful.

15.3 CFI Qu e ry
The CFI Query command instructs the device to output Common Flash Interface (CFI) data when
partition addresses are read. See Section 9.2, “Device Commands” on page 44 for details on
issuing the CFI Query command. Appendix C, “Common Flash Interface” on page 90 shows CFI
information and address offsets within the CFI database.
Issuing the CFI Query command to a partition that is programming or erasing places that partition’ s
outputs in the CFI Query state, while the partition continues to program or erase in the background.
The CFI Query command is subject to read restrictions dependent on parameter partition
availability, as described in Table 1 4, “Simultaneous Operation Restrictions” on page 71.

Notes:
1. " Illegal commands" include commands outside of the allowed command set (allowed commands: 40H
[pgm], 20H [erase], etc.)
2. If a "Read Array" is attempted from a busy partition, the result will be invalid data. The ID and Query
data are located at different locations in the address map.
3. 1st and 2nd cycles of "2 cycles write commands" must be given to the same partition address, or
unexpected results will occur.
4. To protec t memory contents against erroneous command sequences, there are specific instances in a

intends to erase the block or resume the program operation.
5. The Clear S t atus command only clears the error bits in the status register if the device is not in the
following modes: WSM running (Pgm Busy , Erase Busy, Pgm Busy In Erase Suspend, OTP Busy , BEFP
modes).
6. BEFP writes are only allowed when the status register bit #0 = 0, or else the data is ignored.
7. The "current state" is that of the "chip" and not of the "partition"; Each partition "remembers" which

1. Word count value on D[7:0] is loaded into the word count
register. Count ranges for this device are N = 0x00 to 0x1F.
2. The device outputs the Status Register when read.
3. Write Buffer contents will be programm ed at the issued word
address.
4. Align the start address on a W rite Buffer boundary for
maximum programm ing performance (i.e., A[4:0] of the Start
W ord Address = 0x00).
5. The Buffered Programm ing Confirm comm and must be
issued to an address in the same block, for example, the
original Start Word Address, or the last address used during the
loop that loaded the buffer data.
6. The Status Register indicates an improper comm and
sequence if the Buffer Program com m and is aborted; use the
Clear Status Register comm and to clear error bits.
7. The Status Register can be read from any address within
the programming partition.
Full status check can be done after all erase and write
sequences complete. Write 0xFF after the last operation to
place the partition in the Read Array state.

Appendix C Common Flash Interface
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) is part of an overall specification for multiple command-set
and control-interface descriptions. This appendix describes the database structure containing the
data returned by a read operation after issuing the CFI Query command (see Section 9.2, “Device
Commands” on page 44). System software can parse this database structu re to obtain information
about the flash device, such as block size, density, bus width, and electrical specifications. The
system software will then know which command set(s) to use to properly perform flash writes,
block erases, reads and otherwise control the flash device.
C.1 Query Structure Output
The Query database allows system software to obtain information for controlling the flash device.
This section describes the device’s CFI-compliant interface that allows access to Query data.
Query data are presented on the lowest-ord er data outputs (DQ7-0) only. The numerical offs et value
is the address relative to the maximum bus width supported by the device. On this family of
devices, the Query table device starting address is a 10h, which is a word address for x16 devices.
For a word-wide (x16) device, the first two Query-structure bytes, ASCII “Q” and “R,” appear on
the low byte at word addresses 10 h and 11h. This CFI-co mpli ant dev i ce outpu ts 00h da ta on upp er
bytes. The device outputs ASCII “Q” in the low byte (DQ7-0) and 00h in the high byte (DQ15-8).
At Query addresses containing two or more bytes of information, the least significant data byte is
presented at the lower address, and the most significant data b yte is p resented at the high er ad dress .
In all of the following tables, addresses and data are represented in hexadecim al notation, so the
“h” suffix has been dropped. In addition, since the upper byte of word -wi de devi ces is alway s
“00h,” the leading “00” has been dropped from the table notation and only the lower byte value is
shown. Any x16 device outputs can be assumed to have 00h on the upper byte in this mode.

C.2 Query Structure Overview
The Query command causes the flash component to display the Common Flash Interface (CFI)
Query structure or “database.” The structure sub-sections and address locations are summarized
below.
Table 20. Query Structure
Notes:
1. Refer to the Query S tructure Output section and offset 28h for the detailed definition of offset address as
a function of device bus width and mode.
2. BA = Block Address beginning location (i.e., 08000h is block 1’s beginning location when the block size
is 16-Kword).
3. Offset 15 defines “P” which points to the Primary Intel-specific Extended Query Table.
