sector erase commands can be assumed to be less

START
Write Erase
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector
erase timer has timed out. (See the “DQ3: Sector Erase
Timer” section.) The time-out begins from the rising
edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
Command Sequence
Data Poll
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other commands
are ignored. On the Am29F002B only, note that a hard-
ware reset during the sector erase operation
immediately terminates the operation. The Sector
Erase command sequence should be reinitiated once
the device has returned to reading array data, to
ensure data integrity.

When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the

no longer latched. The system can determine the
status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or
DQ2. Refer to “Write Operation Status” for information
on these status bits.
