Data# Polling (DQ7)
When the SST39LF/VF100 are in the internal Program
operatio n, any attempt to r ead DQ7 will pro duce the co m-
plement of the true data. Once the Program operation is
completed, DQ7 will produce true data. Note that even
though DQ 7 may have valid da ta im me di ate ly following the
completion of an internal Write operation, the remaining
data outputs may still be invalid: valid data on the entire
data bus will appear in subsequent successive Read
cycles after an interval of 1 µs. During internal Erase opera-
tion, any a ttempt to read DQ7 will pro duce a ‘ 0’. Once the
inter nal Erase operati on is completed, DQ 7 will produce a
‘1’. The Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of fourth
WE# ( or CE # ) pu ls e for Program ope ration. For Secto r- or
Chip-E rase, the Data# Po lling is valid aft er the r ising edge
of sixth WE# (or CE#) pulse. See Figure 5 for Data# P olling
timing diagram and Figure 14 for a flowchart.
Toggle Bit (DQ6)
During the internal Program or Erase operation, any con-
secutive attempts to read DQ6 will p roduce alter nating 1s
and 0s, i.e., toggling between 1 and 0. When the inter nal
Program or Erase op eration is compl eted, the DQ6 bit will
stop togglin g. T he device is the n re ady for the next ope ra-
tion. The Toggle Bit is valid after the rising edge of four th
WE# ( or CE # ) pu ls e for Program ope ration . For Sec to r - or
Chip-Erase, the Toggle Bit is valid after the rising edge of
sixth WE # ( or CE #) p ul s e. See Fig ur e 6 for Toggle B it ti m-
ing diag ram an d Figu re 14 f or a fl owc hart.
Data Protection
The SST39LF/VF100 provide both hardware and software
features to protect nonvolatile data from inadvertent writes.
Hardware Data Protection
Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE# or CE# pu lse of less t han 5
ns will not ini tiate a Wri te cycle .
VDD Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is
inhibited when VDD is less than 1.5V.
Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE# low, CE# high, or WE#
high will in hi bit t he Writ e ope ration . T hi s prevents inadvert-
ent Writes during power-up or power-down.
Software Data Protection (SDP)
The SST39LF/VF100 provide the JEDEC approved Soft-
ware Data P rotect ion s cheme for all data altera tion opera-
tions, i.e., Program and Erase. Any Program operation
requires the inclusion of the three-byte sequence. The
three-byte load sequence is used to initiate the Program
operation, providing optimal protection from inadvertent
Write operations, e.g., during the system power-up or
po w e r-d own. Any Er as e o pe r at i on req ui re s th e in cl usi o n of
six-byte sequence. The SST39LF/VF100 devices are
shipped with the Software Data Protection permanently
enabled. See Table 4 for the specific software command
codes. During SDP command sequence, invalid com-
mands will abort the device to Read mode within TRC. The
contents of DQ15-DQ8 can be VIL or VIH, but no other value,
during any SDP command sequence.
Product Identifica tion
The Product Identification mode identifies the devices as
SST39LF/VF100 and manufacturer as SST. This mode
may be acces sed by software operati ons. Users m ay u se
the Software Pr o duc t Id ent ifi cati on opera ti on to id en tif y th e
par t (i.e., using the device ID) when using multiple manu-
facturers in the same socket. For details, see Table 4 for
software operation, Figure 9 for the Software ID Entry and
Read timing diagram, and Figure 15 for the Software ID
Entry comman d sequen ce flo wchart.
Product Identification Mode Exit/Reset
In order to return to the standard Read mode, the Software
Produc t Ident ificati on mode must be exited. Exit is acco m-
plished by issuing the Software ID Exit command
sequence, which returns the device to Read mode. Please
note that the Software ID Exit command is ignored during
an internal Program or Erase operation. See Table 4 for
software c ommand co des, Figure 10 for timi ng waveform,
and Figure 15 for a flowchart.
