Erase Operations
It is also possible to issue AUTO SELECT and UNLOCK BYPASS commands during an
ERASE SUSPEND operation. The READ/RESET command must be issued to return the
device to read array mode before the RESUME command will be accepted.
During an ERASE SUSPEND operation, a bus READ operation to the extended memory
block will output the extended memory block data. After the device enters extended
memory block mode, the EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK command must be issued
before the ERASE operation can be resumed.
An ERASE SUSPEND command is ignored if it is written during a CHIP ERASE opera-
tion.
If the ERASE SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device reset or power-
down, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the suspended blocks should be erased
again.
ERASE RESUME Command
The ERASE RESUME (30h) command restarts the program/erase controller after an
ERASE SUSPEND operation.
The device must be in read array mode before the RESUME command will be accepted.
An erase can be suspended and resumed more than once.
