SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure 2 Logic Diagram and Table 2,Signal
Names, for a brief overview of the signals connect-
ed to this device.
Address Inputs (A0-A19). The Address Inputs
select the cells in the memory array to access dur-
ing Bus Read operations. During Bus Write opera-
tions they control the commands sent to the
Command Interface of the internal state machine.
Data Input/Output (DQ0-DQ15). The Data I/O
outputs the data stored at the selected address
during a Bus Read operation or inputs a command
or the data to be programmed during a Write Bus
operation.

operation. Exiting reset mode the device enters
read array mode, but a negative transition of Chip
Enable or a change of the address is required to
ensure valid data outputs.
