COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE (CFI)
The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification outlines 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-independent,
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.
This device enters the CFI Query mode when the system 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 array data. The system can read CFI information at the address given in Tables 8-10
in word mode, the upper address bits (A7-MSB) must be all zeros. To terminate reading CFI data, the system must write the reset
command.
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 8-10. The system must write the reset command to return the device
to the autoselect mode.
