Legend:
X = Don’t care
PD = Data to be programmed at location PA. Data latches on the rising
edge of WE# or CE# pulse, whichever happens first.
RA = Address of the memory location to be read.
RD = Data read from location RA during read operation.
PA = Address of the memory location to be programmed. Addresses
SA = Address of the sector to be verified (in autoselect mode) or
erased. Address bits A19–A12 uniquely select any sector.
latch on the falling edge of the WE# or CE# pulse, whichever happens
later.
Notes:
1. See Table 1, on page 9 for description of bus operations.
9. The data is 00h for an unprotected sector and 01h for a protected
sector. Data bits DQ1ꢀ–DQ8 are don’t care. See the Autoselect
Command Sequence section for more information.
2. All values are in hexadecimal.
3. Except for the read cycle and the fourth cycle of the autoselect
command sequence, all bus cycles are write cycles.
10. The Unlock Bypass command is required prior to the Unlock
Bypass Program command.
4. Data bits DQ1ꢀ–DQ8 are don’t cares in byte mode.
11. The Unlock Bypass Reset command is required to return to the
read mode when in the unlock bypass mode.
ꢀ. Unless otherwise noted, address bits A19–A11 are don’t cares.
6. No unlock or command cycles required when in read mode.
12. The system may read and program in non-erasing sectors, or
enter the autoselect mode, when in the Erase Suspend mode.
The Erase Suspend command is valid only during a sector erase
operation.
7. The Reset command is required to return to the read mode (or to
the erase-suspend-read mode if previously in Erase Suspend)
when in the autoselect mode, or if DQꢀ goes high (while providing
status information).
13. The Erase Resume command is valid only during the Erase
Suspend mode.
8. The fourth cycle of the autoselect command sequence is a read
cycle.
14. Command is valid when device is ready to read array data or
when device is in autoselect mode.
