during power up,
the device does not accept commands on the rising
edge of WE#. The internal state machine is automati-
cally reset to reading array data on power-up.
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the sys-
tem writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to address
55h in word mode (or address AAh in byte mode), any
time the device is ready to read array data. The sys-
tem can read CFI information at the addresses given
in Tables 12–15. To terminate reading CFI data, the
system must write the reset command. The CFI Query
mode is not accessible when the device is executing
an Embedded Program or embedded erase algorithm.
The system can also write the CFI query command
when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device
enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read
CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 12–15. The
system must write the reset command to return the de-
vice to reading array data.
For further information, please refer to the CFI Specifi-
cation and CFI Publication 100, available via the
World Wide Web at http://www.amd.com/prod-

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE
(CFI)
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification out-
lines device and host system software interrogation
handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified
software algorithms to be used for entire families of
devices. Software support can then be device-inde-
pendent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and
backward-compatible for the specified flash device
families. Flash vendors can standardize their existing
interfaces for long-term compatibility.
