the sector address must appear on the appropriate
highest order address bits (see Table 2). When all nec-
essary bits have been set as required, the
programming equipment may then read the corre-
sponding identifier code on DQ7-DQ0.
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and
device identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This
mode is primarily intended for programming equipment
to automatically match a device to be programmed with
its corresponding programming algorithm. However,
the autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system
through the command register.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in Table 4. This method
does not require V . See “Command Definitions” for
details on using the autoselect mode.
