Autoselect Mode
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and de-
vice identification, and sector protection verification,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This
mode is primarily intended for programming equip-
m e n t t o a u t o m a t i c a l l y m a t c h a d ev i c e t o b e
programmed with its corresponding programming al-
gorithm. However, the autoselect codes can also be
accessed in-system through the command register.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect
mode requires V
A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in
L = Logic Low = V
Note: The autoselect codes may also be accessed in-system via command sequences. See Table 9.
Sector Protection/Unprotection
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hard-
ware sector unprotection feature re-enables both
program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
AMD offers the option of programming and protecting
sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device
through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an
AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is pro-
tected or unprotected. See “Autoselect Mode” for
details.
Sector protection/unprotection can be implemented
via two methods.

Table 4. In addition, when verifying sector protection,
the sector address must appear on the appropriate
highest order address bits (see Tables 2 and 3). Table
4 shows the remaining address bits that are don’t
care. When all necessary bits have been set as re-
quired, the programming equipment may then read the
corresponding identifier code on DQ7-DQ0.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host
system can issue the autoselect command via the
command register, as shown in Table 9. This method
does not require V
details on using the autoselect mode.
The primary method requires V
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algo-
rithms and Figure 23 shows the timing diagram. This
method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle tim-
ing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected sectors must
first be protected prior to the first sector unprotect
write cycle.
The alternate method intended only for programming
equipment requires V
This method is compatible with programmer routines
written for earlier 3.0 volt-only AMD flash devices. De-
tails on this method are provided in a supplement,
publication number 21468. Contact an AMD represen-
tative to request a copy.
