COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Writing specific address and data commands or
sequences into the command register initiates device
operations. Table 9 defines the valid register command
sequences. Writing incorrect address and data
values or writing them in the improper sequence
resets the device to reading array data.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# or
CE#, whichever happens later. All data is latched on
the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens
first. Refer to the appropriate timing diagrams in the
“AC Characteristics” section.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data
after device power-up. No commands are required to
retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array
data after completing an Embedded Program or Em-
bedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend com-
mand, the device enters the Erase Suspend mode.
The system can read array data using the standard
read timings, except that if it reads at an address
within erase-suspended sectors, the device outputs
status data. After completing a programming opera-
tion in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may
once again read array data with the same exception.
See “Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands” for
more information on this mode.
The system must issue the reset command to re-en-
able the device for reading array data if DQ5 goes high,
or while in the autoselect mode. See the “Reset Com-
mand” section, next.
See also “Requirements for Reading Array Data” in the
“Device Bus Operations” section for more information.
The Read Operations table provides the read parame-
ters, and Figure 13 shows the timing diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command to the device resets the de-
vice to reading array data. Address bits are don’t care
for this command.
The reset command may be written between the se-
quence cycles in an erase command sequence before
erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array
data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ig-
nores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the se-
quence cycles in a program command sequence be-
fore programming begins. This resets the device to
reading array data (also applies to programming in
Erase Suspend mode). Once programming begins,
however, the device ignores reset commands until the
operation is complete.

The reset command may be written between the se-
quence cycles in an autoselect command sequence.
Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must
be written to return to reading array data (also applies
to autoselect during Erase Suspend).
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the device to read-
ing array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host
system to access the manufacturer and devices codes,
and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
Table 9 shows the address and data requirements. This
method is an alternative to that shown in Table 4, which
is intended for PROM programmers and requires V
on address bit A9.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writ-
ing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect com-
mand. The device then enters the autoselect mode,
and the system may read at any address any number
of times, without initiating another command sequence.
A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufac-
turer code. A read cycle at address XX01h returns the
device code. A read cycle containing a sector address
(SA) and the address 02h in word mode (or 04h in byte
mode) returns 01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it
is unprotected. Refer to Tables 2 and 3 for valid sector
addresses.
The system must write the reset command to exit the
autoselect mode and return to reading array data.
Word/Byte Program Command Sequence
The system may program the device by word or byte,
depending on the state of the BYTE# pin. Program-
ming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program com-
mand sequence is initiated by writing two unlock write
cycles, followed by the program set-up command. The
program address and data are written next, which in
turn initiate the Embedded Program algorithm. The
system is not required to provide further controls or
timings. The device automatically generates the pro-
gram pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin.
Table 9 shows the address and data requirements for
the byte program command sequence.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete,
the device then returns to reading array data and ad-
dresses are no longer latched. The system can deter-
mine the status of the program operation by using DQ7,
DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write Operation Status” for in-
formation on these status bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Em-
bedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a
