program operation by using I/O7 or I/O6. See "Write Operation
Status" for information on these status bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded
Program Algorithm are ignored. Programming is allowed in
any sequence and across sector boundaries. A bit cannot be
programmed from a "0" back to a "1 ". Attempting to do so
verifies the entire memory for an all zero data pattern prior to
electrical erase. The system is not required to provide any
controls or timings during these operations. The Command
Definitions table shows the address and data requirements for
the chip erase command sequence.
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded
Erase algorithm are ignored. The system can determine the
status of the erase operation by using I/O7, I/O6, or I/O2. See

may halt the operation and set I/O5 to "1", or cause the
Data
Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was successful.
However, a succeeding read will show that the data is still "0".
Only erase operations can convert a "0" to a "1".

the Erase/Program Operations tables in "AC Characteristics"
for parameters, and to the Chip/Sector Erase Operation
Timings for timing waveforms.
START
Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The sector erase
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles,
followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock write
cycles are then followed by the address of the sector to be
erased, and the sector erase command. The Command
Definitions table shows the address and data requirements for
the sector erase command sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram the
memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm
automatically programs and verifies the sector for an all zero
data pattern prior to electrical erase. The system is not
required to provide any controls or timings during these
operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase time-
out of 50μs begins. During the time-out period, additional
sector addresses and sector erase commands may be written.
Loading the sector erase buffer may be done in any
sequence, and the number of sectors may be from one sector
to all sectors. The time between these additional cycles must
be less than 50μs, otherwise the last address and command
might not be accepted, and erasure may begin. It is
recommended that processor interrupts be disabled during
this time to ensure all commands are accepted. The interrupts
can be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is
written. If the time between additional sector erase commands
can be assumed to be less than 50μs, the system need not
monitor I/O3. Any command other than Sector Erase or Erase
Suspend during the time-out period resets the device to
reading array data. The system must rewrite the command
sequence and any additional sector addresses and
commands.

The system can monitor I/O3 to determine if the sector erase

Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the Erase
Suspend command is valid. All other commands are ignored.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device
returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer
latched. The system can determine the status of the erase
operation by using I/O7, I/O6, or I/O2. Refer to "Write Operation
Status" for information on these status bits.

Chip Erase Command Sequence
Chip erase is a six-bus-cycle operation. The chip erase
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles,
followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock write
cycles are then followed by the chip erase command, which in
turn invokes the Embedded Erase algorithm. The device does
not require the system to preprogram prior to erase. The
