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 M29W supports asynchronous random read and page read from all blocks of the array. It features a write to buffer program capability that improves throughput by programming a buffer of 32 words in one command sequence. Also, in x16 mode, the enhanced buffered program capability improves throughput by programming 256 words in one command sequence. The device V PP/WP# signal enables faster programming. The device contains a 128-word (x16) and 256-byte (x8) extended memory block. 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.

All signals listed may not be supported on this device. See Signal Assignments for information specific to this device. Table 2: 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 10,000Ω or higher resistor is recommended as pull-up resistor to achieve 0.1V VOL.

All rights reserved. 256Mb: 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash Memory Organization Table 2: Signal Descriptions (Continued) Name Type VCC Supply Description Supply voltage: Provides the power supply for READ, PROGRAM, and ERASE operations. The command interface is disabled when VCC ≤ VLKO. This prevents WRITE operations from accidentally damaging the data during power-up, power-down, and power surges. If the program/erase controller is programming or erasing during this time, then the operation aborts, and the contents being altered will be invalid. A 0.1μF capacitor should be connected between VCC and VSS to decouple the current surges from the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry the currents required during PROGRAM and ERASE operations. (See DC Characteristics.) VCCQ Supply I/O supply voltage: Provides the power supply to the I/O pins and enables all outputs to be powered independently from VCC. VSS Supply Ground: All VSS pins must be connected to the system ground. RFU – Reserved for future use: RFUs should be not connected.

Typical glitches of less than 5ns on CE#, WE#, and RST# are ignored by the device and do not affect bus operations. 2. H = Logic level HIGH (VIH); L = Logic level LOW (VIL); X = HIGH or LOW. 3. If WP# is LOW, then the highest or the lowest block remains protected, depending on line item. 4. Data input is required when issuing a command sequence or when performing data polling or block protection. Read Bus READ operations read from the memory cells, registers, or CFI space. To accelerate the READ operation, the memory array can be read in page mode where data is internally read and stored in a page buffer. The page size is 8 words (16 bytes) and is addressed by address inputs A[2:0] in x16 bus mode and A[2:0] plus DQ15/A-1 in x8 bus mode. The extended memory blocks and CFI area do not support page read mode. A valid READ operation requires setting the appropriate address on the address inputs, taking CE# and OE# LOW, and holding WE# HIGH. Data I/O signals output the value. Write Bus WRITE operations write to the command interface. A valid WRITE operation requires setting the appropriate address on the address inputs. These are latched by the command interface on the falling edge of CE# or WE#, whichever occurs last. Values on data I/O signals are latched by the command interface on the rising edge of CE# or WE#, whichever occurs first. OE# must remain HIGH during the entire operation. Standby and Automatic Standby When the device is in read mode, driving CE# HIGH places the device in standby mode and drives data I/Os to High-Z. Supply current is reduced to standby (ICC2) by holding CE# within V CC ±0.3V. PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

All rights reserved. 256Mb: 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash Bus Operations During PROGRAM or ERASE operations, the device continues to use the program/erase supply current (ICC3) until the operation completes. Automatic standby enables low power consumption during read mode. When CMOS levels (VCC ± 0.3 V) drive the bus, and following a READ operation and a period of inactivity specified in DC Characteristics, the memory enters automatic standby as internal supply current is reduced to ICC2. Data I/O signals still output data if a READ operation is in progress. Depending on load circuits connected with data bus, V CCQ can have a null consumption when the memory enters automatic standby.

During a PROGRAM/ERASE operation, DQ6 toggles from 0 to 1, 1 to 0, and so on, with each successive READ operation from any address. 3, 4, 5 DQ5 Error bit 0 = Success 1 = Failure Identifies errors detected by the program/erase controller. DQ5 is set to 1 when a PROGRAM, BLOCK ERASE, or CHIP ERASE operation fails to write the correct data to the memory. 4, 6 DQ3 Erase timer bit 0 = Erase not in progress 1 = Erase in progress Identifies the start of program/erase controller operation during a BLOCK ERASE command. Before the program/erase controller starts, this bit set to 0, and additional blocks to be erased can be written to the command interface. 4 DQ2 Alternative toggle bit Toggles: 0 to 1; 1 to 0; and so on Monitors the program/erase controller during ERASE operations. During CHIP ERASE, BLOCK ERASE, and ERASE SUSPEND operations, DQ2 toggles from 0 to 1, 1 to 0, and so on, with each successive READ operation from addresses within the blocks being erased. 3, 4 DQ1 Buffered program abort bit 1 = Abort Indicates a BUFFER PROGRAM operation abort. The BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command must be issued to return the device to read mode (see WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command). Notes: PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev. E 7/16 EN 1. The status register can be read during PROGRAM, ERASE, or ERASE SUSPEND operations; the READ operation outputs data on DQ[7:0]. 2. For a PROGRAM operation in progress, DQ7 outputs the complement of the bit being programmed. For a READ operation from the address previously programmed successfully, DQ7 outputs existing DQ7 data. For a READ operation from addresses with blocks to be erased while an ERASE SUSPEND operation is in progress, DQ7 outputs 0; upon successful completion of the ERASE SUSPEND operation, DQ7 outputs 1. For an ERASE operation in progress, DQ7 outputs 0; upon either operation's successful completion, DQ7 outputs 1. 3. After successful completion of a PROGRAM or ERASE operation, the device returns to read mode. 4. During erase suspend mode, READ operations to addresses within blocks not being erased output memory array data as if in read mode. A protected block is treated the same as a block not being erased. See the Toggle Flowchart for more information. 5. During erase suspend mode, DQ6 toggles when addressing a cell within a block being erased. The toggling stops when the program/erase controller has suspended the ERASE operation.

READ Operations READ/RESET Command The READ/RESET (F0h) command returns the device to read mode and resets the errors in the status register. One or three bus WRITE operations can be used to issue the READ/RESET command. To return the device to read mode, this command can be issued between bus WRITE cycles before the start of a PROGRAM or ERASE operation. If the READ/RESET command is issued during the timeout of a BLOCK ERASE operation, the device requires up to 10μs to abort, during which time no valid data can be read. READ CFI Command The READ CFI (98h) command puts the device in read CFI mode and is valid only when the device is in read array or auto select mode. One bus WRITE cycle is required to issue the command. Once in read CFI mode, bus READ operations will output data from the CFI memory area. A READ/RESET command must be issued to return the device to the previous mode (read array or auto select ). A second READ/RESET command is required to put the device in read array mode from auto select mode. PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

It can then be put in auto select mode by issuing an AUTO SELECT (90h) command or by applying V ID to A9. Auto select mode enables the following device information to be read: • Electronic signature, which includes manufacturer and device code information, as shown in the Electronic Signature table. • Block protection, which includes the block protection status and extended memory block protection indicator, as shown in the Block Protection table. Electronic signature or block protection information is read by executing a READ operation with control signals and addresses set, as shown in the Read Electronic Signature table or the Block Protection table, respectively. Auto select mode can be used by the programming equipment to automatically match a device with the application code to be programmed. Three consecutive bus WRITE operations are required to issue an AUTO SELECT command. The device remains in auto select mode until a READ/RESET or READ CFI command is issued. The device cannot enter auto select mode when a PROGRAM or ERASE operation is in progress (RY/BY# LOW). However, auto select mode can be entered if the PROGRAM or ERASE operation has been suspended by issuing a PROGRAM SUSPEND or ERASE SUSPEND command. To enter auto select mode by appling V ID to A9, see the Read Electronic Signature table and the Block Protection table. Auto select mode is exited by performing a reset. The device returns to read mode unless it entered auto select mode after an ERASE SUSPEND or PROGRAM SUSPEND command, in which case it returns to erase or program suspend mode.

Three bus WRITE operations are required to issue the UNLOCK BYPASS command. When the device enters unlock bypass mode, the two initial UNLOCK cycles required for a standard PROGRAM or ERASE operation are not needed, thus enabling faster total program or erase time. The UNLOCK BYPASS command is used in conjunction with UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM or UNLOCK BYPASS ERASE commands to program or erase the device faster than with standard PROGRAM or ERASE commands. Using these commands can save considerable time when the cycle time to the device is long. When in unlock bypass mode, only the following commands are valid: • The UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM command can be issued to program addresses within the device. • The UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE command can then be issued to erase one or more memory blocks. • The UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE command can be issued to erase the whole memory array. • The UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM and UNLOCK BYPASS ENHANCED WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM commands can be issued to speed up the programming operation. • The UNLOCK BYPASS RESET command can be issued to return the device to read mode. In unlock bypass mode, the device can be read as if in read mode. In addition to the UNLOCK BYPASS command, when V PP/WP# is raised to V PPH, the device automatically enters unlock bypass mode. When V PP/WP# returns to V IH or V IL, the device is no longer in unlock bypass mode, and normal operation resumes. The transitions from V IH to V PPH and from V PPH to V IH must be slower than tVHVPP. (See the Accelerated Program, Data Polling/Toggle AC Characteristics.) Note: Micron recommends entering and exiting unlock bypass mode using the ENTER UNLOCK BYPASS and UNLOCK BYPASS RESET commands rather than raising V PP/WP# to V PPH. V PP/WP# should never be raised to V PPH from any mode except read mode; otherwise, the device may be left in an indeterminate state. V PP/WP# should not remain at VPPH for than 80 hours cumulative. UNLOCK BYPASS RESET Command The UNLOCK BYPASS RESET (90/00h) command is used to return to read/reset mode from unlock bypass mode. Two bus WRITE operations are required to issue the UNLOCK BYPASS RESET command. The READ/RESET command does not exit from unlock bypass mode. PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

All rights reserved. 256Mb: 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash Program Operations Program Operations PROGRAM Command The PROGRAM (A0h) command can be used to program a value to one address in the memory array. The command requires four bus WRITE operations; the final WRITE operation latches the address and data in the internal state machine and starts the program/erase controller. After programming has started, bus READ operations output the status register content. Programming can be suspended and then resumed by issuing a PROGRAM SUSPEND command and a PROGRAM RESUME command, respectively. If the address falls in a protected block, the PROGRAM command is ignored, and the data remains unchanged. The status register is not read, and no error condition is given. After the PROGRAM operation has completed, the device returns to read mode, unless an error has occurred. When an error occurs, bus READ operations to the device continue to output the status register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error condition and return the device to read mode. The PROGRAM command cannot change a bit set to 0 back to 1, and an attempt to do so is masked during a PROGRAM operation. Instead, an ERASE command must be used to set all bits in one memory block or in the entire memory from 0 to 1. The PROGRAM operation is aborted by performing a reset or by powering-down the device. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the words or bytes that were aborted should be reprogrammed. UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM Command When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM (A0h) command can be used to program one address in the memory array. The command requires two bus WRITE operations instead of four required by a standard PROGRAM command; the final WRITE operation latches the address and data and starts the program/erase controller. (The standard PROGRAM command requires four bus WRITE operations.) The PROGRAM operation using the UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM command behaves identically to the PROGRAM operation using the PROGRAM command. The operation cannot be aborted. A bus READ operation to the memory outputs the status register. WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM Command The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM (25h) command makes use of the 32-word program buffer to speed up programming. A maximum of 32 words can be loaded into the program buffer. The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command dramatically reduces system programming time compared to the standard non-buffered PROGRAM command. When issuing a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command, V PP/WP# can be either held HIGH or raised to V PPH. Also, it can be held LOW if the block is not the lowest or highest block, depending on the part number. The following successive steps are required to issue the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command: First, two UNLOCK cycles are issued. Next, a third bus WRITE cycle sets up the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command. The set-up code can be addressed to any location PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

All rights reserved. 256Mb: 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash Program Operations within the targeted block. Then, a fourth bus WRITE cycle sets up the number of words/ bytes to be programmed. Value n is written to the same block address, where n + 1 is the number of words/bytes to be programmed. Value n + 1 must not exceed the size of the program buffer, or the operation will abort. A fifth cycle loads the first address and data to be programmed. Last, n bus WRITE cycles load the address and data for each word/ byte into the program buffer. Addresses must lie within the range from the start address +1 to the start address + (n - 1). Optimum programming performance and lower power usage are achieved by aligning the starting address at the beginning of a 32-word boundary. Any buffer size smaller than 32 words is allowed within a 32-word boundary, while all addresses used in the operation must lie within the 32-word boundary. In addition, any crossing boundary buffer program will result in a program abort. To program the content of the program buffer, this command must be followed by a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM command. If an address is written several times during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation, the address/data counter will be decremented at each data load operation, and the data will be programmed to the last word loaded into the buffer. Invalid address combinations or the incorrect sequence of bus WRITE cycles will abort the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command. The status register bits DQ1, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7 can be used to monitor the device status during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation. The WRITE BUFFER PROGRAM command should not be used to change a bit set to 0 back to 1, and an attempt to do so is masked during the operation. Rather than the WRITE BUFFER PROGRAM command, the ERASE command should be used to set memory bits from 0 to 1. PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

When the block address is specified, any address in the selected block address space is acceptable. However, when loading program buffer address with data, all addresses must fall within the selected program buffer page. 4. DQ7 must be checked because DQ5 and DQ7 may change simultaneously. 5. If this flowchart location is reached because DQ5 = 1, then the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command failed. If this flowchart location is reached because DQ1 = 1, then the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command aborted. In both cases, the appropriate RESET command must be issued to return the device to read mode: A RESET command if the operation failed; a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET command if the operation aborted. 6.

All rights reserved. 256Mb: 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash Program Operations UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM Command When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER (25h) command can be used to program the device in fast program mode. The command requires two bus WRITE operations fewer than the standard WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command. The UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command behaves the same way as the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to the memory outputs the status register. The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM command is used to confirm an UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command and to program the n + 1 words/bytes loaded in the program buffer by this command. WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM Command The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM (29h) command is used to confirm a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command and to program the n + 1 words/bytes loaded in the program buffer by this command. BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET Command A BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET (F0h) command must be issued to reset the device to read mode when the BUFFER PROGRAM operation is aborted. The buffer programming sequence can be aborted in the following ways: • Load a value that is greater than the page buffer size during the number of locations to program in the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command. • Write to an address in a different block than the one specified during the WRITE BUFFER LOAD command. • Write an address/data pair to a different write buffer page than the one selected by the starting address during the program buffer data loading stage of the operation. • Write data other than the CONFIRM command after the specified number of data load cycles. The abort condition is indicated by DQ1 = 1, DQ7 = DQ7# (for the last address location loaded), DQ6 = toggle, and DQ5 = 0 (all of which are status register bits). A BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command sequence must be written to reset the device for the next operation. Note: The full three-cycle BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command sequence is required when using buffer programming features in unlock bypass mode. PROGRAM SUSPEND Command The PROGRAM SUSPEND (B0h) command can be used to interrupt a program operation so that data can be read from any block. When the PROGRAM SUSPEND command is issued during a program operation, the device suspends the operation within the program suspend latency time and updates the status register bits. After the program operation has been suspended, data can be read from any address. However, data is invalid when read from an address where a program operation has been suspended.

All rights reserved. 256Mb: 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash Program Operations The PROGRAM SUSPEND command may also be issued during a PROGRAM operation while an erase is suspended. In this case, data may be read from any address not in erase suspend or program suspend mode. To read from the extended memory block area (one-time programmable area), the ENTER/EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK command sequences must be issued. The system may also issue the AUTO SELECT command sequence when the device is in program suspend mode. The system can read as many auto select codes as required. When the device exits auto select mode, the device reverts to program suspend mode and is ready for another valid operation. The PROGRAM SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device reset or powerdown. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the words or bytes that were aborted should be reprogrammed. PROGRAM RESUME Command The PROGRAM RESUME (30h) command must be issued to exit a program suspend mode and resume a PROGRAM operation. The controller can use DQ7 or DQ6 status bits to determine the status of the PROGRAM operation. After a PROGRAM RESUME command is issued, subsequent PROGRAM RESUME commands are ignored. Another PROGRAM SUSPEND command can be issued after the device has resumed programming. ENTER and EXIT ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM Command The ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM commands are available only in x16 mode. When the ENTER ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command is issued, the device accepts only these commands, which can be executed multiple times. Monitor the toggle bit to ensure successful completion of the ENTER ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command. The EXIT ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command returns the device to read mode; two bus WRITE operations are required to issue the command. ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM Command The ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command makes use of a 256-word write buffer to speed up programming. Each write buffer has the same A[23:8] addresses. This command dramatically reduces system programming time compared to both the standard non-buffered PROGRAM command and the WRITE TO BUFFER command. When issuing the ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command, the V PP/WP pin can be held HIGH or raised to V PPH. (See Program/Erase Characteristics.) The following successive steps are required to issue the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command: First, the ENTER ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command is issued. Next, one bus WRITE cycle sets up the ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command. The set-up code can be addressed to any location within the targeted block. Then, a second bus WRITE cycle loads the first address and the data to be programmed. There are a total of 256 address- and data-loading cycles. When the 256 words are loaded to the buffer, a third WRITE cycle programs the content of the buffer. Last, when the command completes, the EXIT ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM command is issued. Address/data cycles must be loaded in an increasing address order, from A[7:0] = 00000000 to A[7:0] = 11111111 until all 256 words are loaded.

The status register bits DQ1, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7 can be used to monitor the device status during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation. An external 12V supply can be used to improve programming efficiency. When reprogramming data in a portion of memory already programmed (changing programmed data from 0 to 1) operation failure can be detected by a logical OR between the previous and the current value.

When the block address is specified, all addresses in the selected block address space must be issued starting from 00h. Furthermore, when loading the write buffer address with data, data program addresses must be consecutive. 3. DQ7 must be checked because DQ5 and DQ7 may change simultaneously. 4. If this flowchart location is reached because DQ5 = 1, then the ENHANCED WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command failed. If this flowchart location is reached because DQ1 = 1, then the ENHANCED WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command aborted. In both cases, the appropriate RESET command must be issued to return the device to read mode: a RESET command if the operation failed; an ENHANCED WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET command if the operation aborted. ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET Command An ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET command must be issued to reset the device to read mode when the ENHANCED BUFFERED PROGRAM operation is aborted. The buffer programming sequence can be aborted in the following ways: • Write to an address in a different block than the one specified during the buffer load. • Write an address/data pair to a different write buffer page than the one selected by the starting address during the program buffer data loading stage of the operation. • Write data other than the CONFIRM command after the 256 data load cycles. • Load a value that is greater than or less than the 256 buffer size. • Load address/data pairs in an incorrect sequence. The abort condition is indicated by DQ1 = 1, DQ6 = toggle, and DQ5 = 0 (all of which are status register bits). PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

Six bus WRITE operations are required to issue the command and start the program/erase controller. Protected blocks are not erased. If all blocks are protected, the CHIP ERASE operation appears to start, but will terminate within approximately100μs, leaving the data unchanged. No error is reported when protected blocks are not erased. During the CHIP ERASE operation, the device ignores all other commands, including ERASE SUSPEND. It is not possible to abort the operation. All bus READ operations during CHIP ERASE output the status register on the data I/Os. (See the Status Register section for more details.) After the CHIP ERASE operation completes, the device returns to read mode, unless an error has occurred. If an error occurs, the device will continue to output the status register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error condition and return to read mode. The CHIP ERASE command sets all of the bits in unprotected blocks of the device to 1. All previous data is lost. The operation is aborted by performing a reset or by powering-down the device. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the entire chip should be erased again. UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE Command When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE (80/10h) command can be used to erase all memory blocks at one time. The command requires only two bus WRITE operations instead of six using the standard CHIP ERASE command. The final bus WRITE operation starts the program/erase controller. The UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE command behaves the same way as the CHIP ERASE command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to the memory outputs the status register. BLOCK ERASE Command The BLOCK ERASE (80/30h) command erases a list of one or more blocks. It sets all of the bits in the unprotected selected blocks to 1. All previous data in the selected blocks is lost. Six bus WRITE operations are required to select the first block in the list. Each additional block in the list can be selected by repeating the sixth bus WRITE operation using the address of the additional block. After the command sequence is written, a block erase timeout occurs. During the timeout period, additional block addresses and BLOCK ERASE commands can be written. After the program/erase controller has started, it is not possible to select any more blocks. Each additional block must therefore be selected within the timeout period of the last block. The timeout timer restarts when an additional block is selected. After the sixth bus WRITE operation, a bus READ operation outputs the status register. (See the WE#-Controlled Program waveforms for details on how to identify if the program/erase controller has started the BLOCK ERASE operation.) PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

If an error occurs, bus READ operations will continue to output the status register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error condition and return to read mode. If any selected blocks are protected, they are ignored, and all the other selected blocks are erased. If all the selected blocks are protected, the BLOCK ERASE operation appears to start, but will terminate within approximately100μs, leaving the data unchanged. No error condition is given when protected blocks are not erased. During the BLOCK ERASE operation, the device ignores all commands except the ERASE SUSPEND command and the READ/RESET command, which is accepted only during the timeout period. The operation is aborted by performing a reset or poweringdown the device. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the aborted blocks should be erased again. UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE Command When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE (80/30h) command can be used to erase one or more memory blocks at a time. The command requires two bus WRITE operations instead of six using the standard BLOCK ERASE command. The final bus WRITE operation latches the address of the block and starts the program/erase controller. To erase multiple blocks (after the first two bus WRITE operations have selected the first block in the list), each additional block in the list can be selected by repeating the second bus WRITE operation using the address of the additional block. The UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE command behaves the same way as the BLOCK ERASE command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to the memory outputs the status register. (See the BLOCK ERASE Command section for details.) ERASE SUSPEND Command The ERASE SUSPEND (B0h) command temporarily suspends a BLOCK ERASE operation. One bus WRITE operation is required to issue the command. The block address is "Don't Care." The program/erase controller suspends the ERASE operation within the erase suspend latency time of the ERASE SUSPEND command being issued. However, when the ERASE SUSPEND command is written during the block erase timeout, the device immediately terminates the timeout period and suspends the ERASE operation. After the program/erase controller has stopped, the device operates in read mode, and the erase is suspended. During an ERASE SUSPEND operation, it is possible to read and execute PROGRAM operations or WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operations in blocks that are not suspended. Both READ and PROGRAM operations behave normally on these blocks. Reading from blocks that are suspended will output the status register. If any attempt is made to program in a protected block or in the suspended block, the PROGRAM command is ignored, and the data remains unchanged. In this case, the status register is not read, and no error condition is given. PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

All rights reserved. 256Mb: 3V Embedded Parallel NOR Flash Erase Operations It is also possible to issue AUTO SELECT and UNLOCK BYPASS commands during an ERASE SUSPEND operation. The READ/RESET command must be issued to return the device to read array mode before the RESUME command will be accepted. During an ERASE SUSPEND operation, a bus READ operation to the extended memory block will output the extended memory block data. After the device enters extended memory block mode, the EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK command must be issued before the ERASE operation can be resumed. An ERASE SUSPEND command is ignored if it is written during a CHIP ERASE operation. If the ERASE SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device reset or powerdown, data integrity cannot be ensured, and the suspended blocks should be erased again. ERASE RESUME Command The ERASE RESUME (30h) command restarts the program/erase controller after an ERASE SUSPEND operation. The device must be in read array mode before the RESUME command will be accepted. An erase can be suspended and resumed more than once. PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

The block protection scheme is shown in the Software Protection Scheme figure. Memory block and extended memory block protection is configured through the lock register. LOCK REGISTER Commands The ENTER LOCK REGISTER COMMAND SET (40h) command enables execution of all READ or PROGRAM LOCK REGISTER commands. PROGRAM LOCK REGISTER (A0h) configures the lock register, and READ LOCK REGISTER reads/confirms programmed data. PASSWORD PROTECTION Commands The ENTER PASSWORD PROTECTION COMMAND SET (60h) command enables execution of password protection commands. PROGRAM PASSWORD (A0h) programs the 64bit password used in the password protection mode. To program the 64-bit password in 8-bit mode, the complete command sequence must be entered eight times at eight consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0] plus DQ15/A-1; in 16-bit mode, the command sequence must be entered four times at four consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0]. By default, all password bits are set to 1. The password can be checked by issuing a READ PASSWORD command. READ PASSWORD verifies the password used in password protection mode. To verify the 64-bit password in 8-bit mode, the complete command sequence must be entered eight times at eight consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0] plus DQ15/A-1. In 16-bit mode, the command sequence must be entered four times at four consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0]. If the password mode lock bit is programmed, and a user attempts to read the password, the device outputs FFh. UNLOCK PASSWORD (25/03h) clears the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit, allowing the nonvolatile protection bits to be modified. UNLOCK PASSWORD must be issued with the correct password and requires a 1μs delay between successive UNLOCK PASSWORD commands. The delay helps prevent password intruders from trying all possible 64-bit combinations. If the delay does not occur, the latest command is ignored. After a valid 64-bit password is entered, approximately 1μs is required to unlock the device. NONVOLATILE PROTECTION Commands The ENTER NONVOLATILE PROTECTION COMMAND SET (C0h) command enables nonvolatile protection mode commands to be issued to the device. A block can be protected from PROGRAM or ERASE operations using a PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command, along with the block address. This command sets the nonvolatile protection bit to 0 for a given block. The status of a nonvolatile protection bit for a given block or group of blocks can be read using a READ NONVOLATILE MODIFY PROTECTION BIT command, along with the block address. The nonvolatile protection bits are erased simultaneously using a CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS (80/30h) command. No specific block address is required. If the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit is set to 0, the command fails. PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

The PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT (A0h) command is used to set the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit to 0, thus locking the nonvolatile protection bits and preventing them from being modified. The READ NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT STATUS command is used to read the status of the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit. VOLATILE PROTECTION Commands After the ENTER VOLATILE PROTECTION COMMAND SET (E0h) command has been issued, commands related to the volatile protection mode can be issued to the device. The PROGRAM VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command individually sets a volatile protection bit to 0 for a given block. If the nonvolatile protection bit for the same block is set, the block is locked regardless of the value of the volatile protection bit. (See the Block Protection Status table.) The status of a volatile protection bit for a given block can be read by issuing a READ VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT STATUS command along with the block address. The CLEAR VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command individually clears (sets to 1) the volatile protection bit for a given block. If the nonvolatile protection bit for the same block is set, the block is locked regardless of the value of the volatile protection bit. (See the Block Protection Status table.) EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK Commands The device has one extra 128-word extended memory block that can be accessed only by the ENTER EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK (88h) command. The extended memory block is 128 words (x16) or 256 bytes (x8). It is used as a security block to provide a permanent 128-bit security identification number or to store additional information. The device can be shipped with the extended memory block prelocked permanently by Micron, including the 128-bit security identification number. Or, the device can be shipped with the extended memory block unlocked, enabling customers to permanently program and lock it. (See Lock Register, the AUTO SELECT command, and the Block Protection table.)

The extended memory block cannot be erased, and each bit of the extended memory block can only be programmed once. The extended memory block is protected from further modification by programming lock register bit 0. Once invoked, this protection cannot be undone. The device remains in extended memory block mode until the EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK (90/00h) command is issued, which returns the device to read mode, or until power is removed from the device. After a power-up sequence or hardware reset, the device will revert to reading memory blocks in the main array. EXIT PROTECTION Command The EXIT PROTECTION COMMAND SET (90/00h) command is used to exit the lock register, password protection, nonvolatile protection, volatile protection, and nonvolatile protection bit lock bit command set modes and return the device to read mode.

When V PP/WP# is LOW, PROGRAM and ERASE operations on either of these blocks is ignored to provide protection. When V PP/WP# is HIGH, the device reverts to the previous protection status for the highest or lowest block. PROGRAM and ERASE operations can modify the data in this block unless the block is protected using block protection. When V PP/WP# protect is raised to V PPH, the device automatically enters the unlock bypass mode, and command execution time is faster. This must never be done from any mode except read mode; otherwise, the device might be left in an indeterminate state. A 0.1μF capacitor should be connected between V PP/WP# and the V SS ground pin to decouple the current surges from the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry the currents required during unlock bypass program. When V PP/WP# returns to HIGH or LOW, normal operation resumes. When operations execute in unlock bypass mode, the device draws IPP from the pin to supply the programming circuits. Transitions from HIGH to V PPH and from V PPH to LOW must be slower than tVHVPP. Note: Micron highly recommends driving V PP/WP# HIGH or LOW. If a system needs to float V PP/WP#, without a pull-up/pull-down resistor and no capacitor, then an internal pull-up resistor is enabled. Table 14: VPP/WP# Functions VPP/WP# Settings Function VIL Highest (29WxxxGH) or lowest (29WxxxGL) block is protected. VIH Highest or lowest block is unprotected unless software protection is activated. VPPH Unlock bypass mode supplies current necessary to speed up PROGRAM execution time. Software Protection Software protection includes volatile, nonvolatile, and password protection as well as password access. The device is shipped with all blocks unprotected. On first use, the device defaults to the nonvolatile protection mode but can be activated in either the nonvolatile protection or password protection mode. The desired protection mode is activated by setting either the nonvolatile protection mode lock bit or the password protection mode lock bit of the lock register. (See the Lock Register section.) Both bits are one-time-programmable and nonvolatile; therefore, after the protection mode has been activated, it cannot be changed, and the device is set permanently to operate in the selected protection mode. It is recommended that the desired software protection mode be activated when first programming the device. For the lowest and highest blocks, a higher level of block protection can be achieved by locking the blocks using nonvolatile protection mode and holding V PP /WP# LOW.

If the user attempts to program or erase a protected block, the device ignores the command and returns to read mode. The block protection status can be read by performing a read electronic signature or by issuing an AUTO SELECT command. (See the Block Protection table.) Refer to the Block Protection Status table and the Software Protection Scheme figure for details on the block protection scheme. Refer to the Protection Operations section for a description of the command sets. Volatile Protection Mode Volatile protection enables the software application to protect blocks against inadvertent change and can be disabled when changes are needed. Volatile protection bits are unique for each block and can be individually modified. Volatile protection bits control the protection scheme only for unprotected blocks whose nonvolatile protection bits are cleared to 1. Issuing a PROGRAM VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT or CLEAR VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT command sets to 0 or clears to 1 the volatile protection bits and places the associated blocks in the protected (0) or unprotected (1) state, respectively. The volatile protection bit can be set or cleared as often as needed. When the device is first shipped, or after a power-up or hardware reset, the volatile protection bits default to 1 (unprotected). Nonvolatile Protection Mode A nonvolatile protection bit is assigned to each block. Each of these bits can be set for protection individually by issuing a PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT command. Also, each device has one global volatile bit called the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit; it can be set to protect all nonvolatile protection bits at once. This global bit must be set to 0 only after all nonvolatile protection bits are configured to the desired settings. When set to 0, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit prevents changes to the state of the nonvolatile protection bits. When cleared to 1, the nonvolatile protection bits can be set and cleared using the PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT and CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS commands, respectively. No software command unlocks the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit unless the device is in password protection mode; in nonvolatile protection mode, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit can be cleared only by taking the device through a hardware reset or power-up. Nonvolatile protection bits cannot be cleared individually; they must be cleared all at once using a CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS command. They will remain set through a hardware reset or a power-down/power-up sequence. If one of the nonvolatile protection bits needs to be cleared (unprotected), additional steps are required. First, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit must be cleared to 1, using either a power-cycle or hardware reset. Then, the nonvolatile protection bits can be changed to reflect the desired settings. Finally, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit must be set to 0 to lock the nonvolatile protection bits. The device now will operate normally. To achieve the best protection, the PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION LOCK BIT command should be executed early in the boot code, and the boot code should be protected by holding V PP/WP# LOW.

Password Protection Mode Password protection mode provides a higher level of security than the nonvolatile protection mode by requiring a 64-bit password to unlock the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit. In addition to this password requirement, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit is set to 0 after power-up and reset to maintain the device in password protection mode. Executing the UNLOCK PASSWORD command by entering the correct password clears the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit, enabling the block nonvolatile protection bits to be modified. If the password provided is incorrect, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit remains locked, and the state of the nonvolatile protection bits cannot be modified. To place the device in password protection mode, the following two steps are required: First, before activating the password protection mode, a 64-bit password must be set and the setting verified. Password verification is allowed only before the password protection mode is activated. Next, password protection mode is activated by programming the password protection mode lock bit to 0. This operation is irreversible. After the bit is programmed, it cannot be erased, the device remains permanently in password protection mode, and the 64-bit password can be neither retrieved nor reprogrammed. In addition, all commands to the address where the password is stored are disabled. Note: There is no means to verify the password after password protection mode is enabled. If the password is lost after enabling the password protection mode, there is no way to clear the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit. Figure 11: Software Protection Scheme Volatile protection bit 1 = unprotected 0 = protected (Default setting depends on the product order option) Volatile protection Nonvolatile protection bit 1 = unprotected (default) 0 = protected Nonvolatile protection Nonvolatile protection bit lock bit (volatile) Array block 1 = unlocked (default, after power-up or hardware reset) 0 = locked Nonvolatile protection mode Notes: PDF: 09005aef84bd3b68 m29w_256mb.pdf - Rev.

Once programmed to 0, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit can be reset to 1 only by taking the device through a power-up or hardware reset. 48 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice. © 2013 Micron Technology, Inc.

It allows a system's software to query the device to determine various electrical and timing parameters, density information, and functions supported by the memory. The system can interface easily with the device, enabling the software to upgrade itself when necessary. When the READ CFI command is issued, the device enters CFI query mode, and the data structure is read from memory. The following tables show the addresses (A-1, A[7:0]) used to retrieve the data.
