Legend:
X = Don’t care
PD = Data to be programmed at location PA. Data latches on the
rising edge of WE# or CE# pulse, whichever happens first.
RA = Address of the memory location to be read.
SA = Address of the sector to be verified (in autoselect mode) or
erased. Address bits A17–A12 uniquely select any sector.
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.
Notes:
1. See Table 1 for description of bus operations.
2. All values are in hexadecimal.
8. The fourth cycle of the autoselect command sequence is a
read cycle.
3. Except when reading array or autoselect data, all bus cycles
are write operations.
9. The data is 00h for an unprotected sector and 01h for a
protected sector. See “Autoselect Command Sequence” for
more information.
4. Data bits DQ15–DQ8 are don’t cares for unlock and command
cycles.
10. The Unlock Bypass command is required prior to the Unlock
Bypass Program command.
5. Address bits A17–A11 are don’t cares for unlock and
command cycles, except when SA or PA required.
11. The Unlock Bypass Reset command is required to return to
reading array data when the device is in the unlock bypass
mode.
6. No unlock or command cycles required when reading array
data.
7. 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).
12. 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.
13. The Erase Resume command is valid only during the Erase Suspend mode.
