After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, array. When the device exits the autoselect mode, the device
the system can once again read array data within reverts to the Erase Suspend mode, and is ready for another
non-suspended sectors. The system can determine the status valid operation. See “Autoselect Command Sequence” for more
of the program operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just information.
as in the standard program operation. See “Write Operation
Status” for more information.
The system must write the Erase Resume command
(address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase suspend mode
The system may also write the autoselect command and continue the sector erase operation. Further writes of the
sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend mode. The Resume command are ignored. Another Erase Suspend
device allows reading autoselect codes even at addresses within command can be written after the device has resumed erasing.

LEGEND:
X = Don’t Care.
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 latch on the falling edge of the WE\ or CE\ pulse, whichever happens later.
PD = Data to be programmed at location PA. Data latches on the rising edge of WE\ or CE\ pulse, whichever happens first.
SA = Address of the sector to be verified (in autoselect mode) or erased. Address bits A18-A16 uniquely select any sector.
NOTES:
1. See Table 1 for description of bus operations.
2. All values are in hexadecimal.
3. Except when reading array or autoselect data, all command bus cycles are write operations.
4. Address bits A18 - A11 are don’t care for unlock and command cycles, unless SA or PA required.
5. No unlock or command cycles required when reading array data.
6. The Reset command is required to return to reading array data when device is in the autoselect mode, or if DQ5 goes high (while the device is
providing status data).
7. The fourth cycle of the autoselect command sequence is a read cycle.
8. The data is 00h for an unprotected sector and 01h for a protected sector. See “Autoselect Command Sequence” for more information.
9. 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.
10. The Erase Resume command is valid only during the Erase Suspend mode.
