Description
The M29DW256G is a 256Mb (16Mb x16) non-volatile memory that can be read, erased
and reprogrammed. These operations can be performed using a single low voltage (2.7
to 3.6 V) supply. At power-up the memory defaults to its read mode.

Description
The M29DW256G features an asymmetrical block architecture, with 8 parameter and
126 main blocks, divided into four banks, A, B, C and D, providing multiple bank operations. While programming or erasing in one bank, read operations are possible in any
other bank. Four of the parameter blocks are at the top of the memory address space,
and four are at the bottom.
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 of the special operations that are required to update the
memory contents. The end of a program or erase operation can be detected and any error conditions identified. The command set required to control the memory is consistent with JEDEC standards.
Chip Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable signals control the bus operations of the
memory. They allow simple connection to most microprocessors, often without additional logic.
The device supports asynchronous random read and page read from all blocks of the
memory array. The device also features a write to buffer program capability that improves the programming throughput by programming 32 words in one instance. The
enhanced buffered program feature is also available to speed up programming throughput, allowing 256 words to be programmed at once. The V PP/WP# signal can be used to
enable faster programming of the device.
The M29DW256G has one extra 256-word extended block that can be accessed using a
dedicated command: 128-Word factory locked and 128-Word customer lockable. The
extended block can be protected and so is useful for storing security information. However the protection is irreversible; once protected the protection cannot be undone.
The device features different levels of hardware and software block protection to avoid
unwanted program or erase (modify):
• Hardware protection: V PP/WP# provides hardware protection on four outermost parameter blocks (two at the top and two at the bottom of the address space)
• Software protection: Volatile protection, nonvolatile protection, password protection
The memory is offered in TSOP56 (14mm x 20mm), TBGA64 (10mm x 13mm, 1mm
pitch), and FBGA (11mm x 13mm) packages. The memory is delivered with all the bits
erased (set to ‘1’).

Table 3: 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.
DQ[15:0]
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. During WRITE operations, bits DQ[15:8] are not used. When reading the
status register, these bits should be ignored.
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 two functions. The VPPH function enables the device to bypass
unlock cycles and use an external high voltage power supply to reduce time required for
PROGRAM operations.
Second, When VPP/WP# is LOW, the four outermost blocks of the address space (two 32KW
blocks at the top and two 32KW blocks at the bottom) are protected; PROGRAM and ERASE
operations are ignored and the blocks remain protected regardless of the block protection
status or the RST# pin state. When VPP/WP# is HIGH, the memory reverts to the previous protection status for those blocks (Refer to Hardware Protection and Bypass Operations for details).
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.
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 busy.
VCC
Supply
Supply voltage: Provides the power supply for READ, PROGRAM, and ERASE operations.
The command interface is disabled when VCC
