operation. The internal state machine is set for reading array
data upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This
ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory content
occurs during the power transition. No command is necessary
in this mode to obtain array data. Standard microprocessor read
cycles that assert valid addresses on the device address inputs
produce valid data on the device data outputs. The device
remains enabled for read access until the command register
contents are altered.
Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system may check
the status of the operation by reading the status bits on I/O7 -
I/O0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC read specifications
apply. Refer to "Write Operation Status" for more information,
and to each AC Characteristics section for timing diagrams.
Standby Mode
When the system is not reading or writing to the device, it can
place the device in the standby mode. In this mode, current
consumption is greatly reduced, and the outputs are placed in

After the system writes the autoselect command sequence, the
device enters the autoselect mode. The system can then read
autoselect codes from the internal register (which is separate
from the memory array) on I/O7 - I/O0. Standard read cycle
timings apply in this mode. Refer to the "Autoselect Mode" and
