256Mb, 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb: 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash
General Description
General Description
The M29EW is an asynchronous, uniform block, parallel NOR Flash memory device
manufactured on 65nm multilevel cell (MLC) technology. READ, ERASE, and PROGRAM
operations are performed using a single low-voltage supply. Upon power-up, the device
defaults to read array mode.
The main memory array is divided into uniform blocks that can be erased independently so that valid data can be preserved while old data is purged. PROGRAM and ERASE
commands are written to the command interface of the memory. An on-chip program/
erase controller simplifies the process of programming or erasing the memory by taking
care of all special operations required to update the memory contents. The end of a
PROGRAM or ERASE operation can be detected and any error condition can be identified. The command set required to control the device is consistent with JEDEC standards.
CE#, OE#, and WE# control the bus operation of the device and enable a simple connection to most microprocessors, often without additional logic.
The M29EW supports asynchronous random read and page read from all blocks of the
array. It also features an internal program buffer that improves throughput by programming 512 words via one command sequence. The device contains a 128-word extended
memory block which overlaps addresses with array block 0. The user can program this
additional space and then protect it to permanently secure the contents. The device also features different levels of hardware and software protection to secure blocks from
unwanted modification.

Signal Descriptions
Signal Descriptions
The signal description table below is a comprehensive list of signals for this device family. All signals listed may not be supported on this device. See Signal Assignments for information specific to this device.
Table 4: Signal Descriptions
Name
Type
Description
A[MAX:0]
Input
Address: Selects the cells in the array to access during READ operations. During WRITE operations, they control the commands sent to the command interface of the program/erase controller.
CE#
Input
Chip enable: Activates the device, enabling READ and WRITE operations to be performed.
When CE# is HIGH, the device goes to standby and data outputs are at HIGH-Z.
OE#
Input
Output enable: Controls the bus READ operation.
WE#
Input
Write enable: Controls the bus WRITE operation of the command interface.
VPP/WP#
Input
VPP/Write Protect: Provides WRITE PROTECT function and VPPH function. These functions
protect the lowest or highest block and enable the device to enter unlock bypass mode, respectively. (Refer to Hardware Protection and Bypass Operations for details.)
BYTE#
Input
Byte/word organization select: Switches between x8 and x16 bus modes. When BYTE# is
LOW, the device is in x8 mode; when HIGH, the device is in x16 mode.
RST#
Input
Reset: Applies a hardware reset to the device, which is achieved by holding RST# LOW for at
least tPLPX. After RST# goes HIGH, the device is ready for READ and WRITE operations (after
tPHEL or tRHEL, whichever occurs last). See RESET AC Specifications for more details.
DQ[7:0]
I/O
Data I/O: Outputs the data stored at the selected address during a READ operation. During
WRITE operations, they represent the commands sent to the command interface of the internal state machine.
DQ[14:8]
I/O
Data I/O: Outputs the data stored at the selected address during a READ operation when
BYTE# is HIGH. When BYTE# is LOW, these pins are not used and are High-Z. During WRITE
operations, these bits are not used. When reading the status register, these bits should be ignored.
DQ15/A-1
I/O
Data I/O or address input: When the device operates in x16 bus mode, this pin behaves as
data I/O, together with DQ[14:8]. When the device operates in x8 bus mode, this pin behaves
as the least significant bit of the address.
Except where stated explicitly otherwise, DQ15 = data I/O (x16 mode); A-1 = address input (x8
mode).
RY/BY#
Output
Ready busy: Open-drain output that can be used to identify when the device is performing
a PROGRAM or ERASE operation. During PROGRAM or ERASE operations, RY/BY# is LOW,
and is High-Z during read mode, auto select mode, and erase suspend mode. After a hardware reset, READ and WRITE operations cannot begin until RY/BY# goes High-Z (see RESET
AC Specifications for more details).
The use of an open-drain output enables the RY/BY# pins from several devices to be connected to a single pull-up resistor to VCCQ. A low value will then indicate that one (or more) of
the devices is (are) busy. A 10K Ohm or bigger resistor is recommended as pull-up resistor to
achieve 0.1V VOL.
