Auto Address Increment (AAI) Program
The AAI program instruction allows multiple bytes of data to
be programmed without re-issuing the next sequential
address location. This feature decreases total program-
ming time when the entire memory array is to be pro-
grammed. An AAI program instruction pointing to a
protected memory area will be ignored. The selected
address range must be in the erased state (FFH) when ini-
tiating an AAI program instruction.
status register or wait TBP for the completion of each inter-
nal self-timed Byte-Program cycle. Once the device com-
pletes programming byte, the next sequential address may
be program, enter the 8-bit command, AFH, followed by the
data to be programmed. When the last desired byte had
been programmed, execute the Write-Disable (WRDI)
instruction, 04H, to terminate AAI. After execution of the
WRDI command, the user must poll the Status register to
ensure the device completes programming. See Figure 6
for AAI programming sequence.
Prior to any write operation, the Write-Enable (WREN)
instruction must be executed. The AAI program instruction
is initiated by executing an 8-bit command, AFH, followed
by address bits [A23-A0]. Following the addresses, the data
is input sequentially from MSB (bit 7) to LSB (bit 0). CE#
must be driven high before the AAI program instruction is
executed. The user must poll the BUSY bit in the software
There is no wrap mode during AAI programming; once the
highest unprotected memory address is reached, the
device will exit AAI operation and reset the Write-Enable-
Latch bit (WEL = 0).
