MX29F001T/B
WRITE PULSE "GLITCH" PROTECTION
Noise pulses of less than 5ns(typical) on CE or WE will
not initiate a write cycle.
LOGICAL INHIBIT
Writing is inhibited by holding any one of OE = VIL, CE =
VIH or WE = VIH. To initiate a wr ite cycle CE and WE
must be a logical zero while OE is a logical one.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
In order to reduce power switching effect, each device
should have a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor connected be-
tween its VCC and GND. (Using a 10uF b ulk capacitor
connected for high current condition is available if nec-
essary.)
CHIP PROTECTION WITH 12V SYSTEM
The MX29F001T/B features hardware chip protection.
Which will disable both program and erase operations.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment must
force VID on address pin A9 and control pin OE, (sug-
gest VID=12V) A6=VIL and CE=VIL.(see Tab le 2) Pro-
gramming of the protection circuitry begins on the falling
edge of the WE pulse and is terminated with the rising
edge of the same. Please refer to chip protect algorithm
and waveform.
To verify programming of the protection circuitry , the pro-
gramming equipment must force VID on address pin A9
( with CE and OE at VIL and WE at VIH. When A1=1, it
will produce a logical "1" code at device output Q0 for
the protected status. Otherwise the device will produce
00H for the unprotected status. In this mode, the ad-
dress, except for A1, are don't care. Address locations
with A1 = VIL are reserved to read manufacturer and
device codes.(Read Silicon ID)
It is also possible to determine if the chip is protected in
the system by writing a Read Silicon ID command. P er-
forming a read operation with A1=VIH, it will produce a
logical "1" at Q0 for the protected status.
CHIP UNPROTECT WITH 12V SYSTEM
The MX29F001T/B also features the chip unprotect
mode, so that all sectors are unprotected after chip
unprotect completion to incorporate any changes in the
code.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment must
force VID on control pin OE and address pin A9. The CE
pins must be set at VIL. Pins A6 must be set to VIH.(see
Table 2) Refer to chip unprotect algorithm and wave-
form for the chip unprotect algorithm. The unprotection
mechanism begins on the f a lling edge of the WE pulse
and is terminated with the rising edge of the same.
It is also possible to determine if the chip is unprotected
in the system by writing the Read Silicon ID command.
Performing a read operation with A1=VIH, it will produce
00H at data outputs (Q0-Q7) for an unprotected sector. It
is noted that all sectors are unprotected after the chip
unprotect algorithm is completed.
CHIP PROTECTION WITHOUT 12V SYSTEM
The MX29F001T/B also feature a hardware chip protec-
tion method in a system without 12V pow er supply. The
programming equipment do not need to supply 12 volts
to protect all sectors. The details are shown in chip pro-
tect algorithm and waveform.
CHIP UNPROTECT WITHOUT 12V SYSTEM
The MX29F001T/B also feature a hardware chip
unprotection method in a system without 12V power sup-
ply. The progr amming equipment do not need to supply
12 volts to unprotect all sectors. The details are shown
in chip unprotect algorithm and waveform.
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
The MX29F001T/B powers up in the Read only mode. In
addition, the memory contents may only be altered after
successful completion of the predefined command se-
quences.
