If the block being programmed is protected an er-
ror will be set in the Status Register and the oper-
ation will abort without affecting the data in the
memory array. The block must be unprotected us-
ing the Blocks Unprotect command.
Write to Buffer and Program Command. The
Write to Buffer and Program command is used to
program the memory array.
Up to 16 Words can be loaded into the Write Buffer
and programmed into the memory. Each Write
Buffer has the same A5-A21 addresses.
Four successive steps are required to issue the
command.
1. One Bus Write operation is required to set up
2. Use one Bus Write operation to write the same
3. Use N+1 Bus Write operations to load the ad-
4. Finally, use one Bus Write operation to issue the
Invalid address combinations or failing to follow
the correct sequence of Bus Write cycles will set
an error in the Status Register and abort the oper-
ation without affecting the data in the memory ar-
ray. The Status Register should be cleared before
re-issuing the command.
If the block being programmed is protected an er-
ror will be set in the Status Register and the oper-
ation will abort without affecting the data in the
memory array. The block must be unprotected us-
ing the Blocks Unprotect command.
See Appendix C, Figure 23, Write to Buffer and
Program Flowchart and Pseudo Code, for a sug-
gested flowchart on using the Write to Buffer and
Program command.
Program/Erase Suspend Command. The
gram/Erase Suspend command is used to pause a
Write to Buffer and Program or Erase operation.
The command will only be accepted during a Pro-
gram or an Erase operation. It can be issued at
any time during an Erase operation but will only be
accepted during a Write to Buffer and Program
command if the Program/Erase Controller is run-
ning.
the Write to Buffer and Program Command. Is-
sue the set up command with the selected
memory Block Address where the program op-
eration should occur (any address in the block
where the values will be programmed can be
used). Any Bus Read operations will start to out-
put the Status Register after the 1st cycle.

final cycle to confirm the command and start the
Program operation.
Pro-
One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Pro-
gram/Erase Suspend command and pause the
Program/Erase Controller. Once the command is
issued it is necessary to poll the Program/Erase
Controller Status bit (bit 7) to find out when the
Program/Erase Controller has paused; no other
commands will be accepted until the Program/
Erase Controller has paused. After the Program/
Erase Controller has paused, the memory will con-
tinue to output the Status Register until another
command is issued.
During the polling period between issuing the Pro-
gram/Erase Suspend command and the Program/
Erase Controller pausing it is possible for the op-
eration to complete. Once the Program/Erase
Controller Status bit (bit 7) indicates that the Pro-
gram/Erase Controller is no longer active, the Pro-
gram Suspend Status bit (bit 2) or the Erase
Suspend Status bit (bit 6) can be used to deter-
mine if the operation has completed or is suspend-
ed. For timing on the delay between issuing the
Program/Erase Suspend command and the Pro-
gram/Erase Controller pausing see Table 9.
During Program/Erase Suspend the Read Memo-
ry Array, Read Status Register, Read Electronic
Signature, Read Query and Program/Erase Re-
sume commands will be accepted by the Com-
mand Interface. Additionally, if the suspended
operation was Erase then the Word Program,
Write to Buffer and Program, and the Program
Suspend commands will also be accepted. When
a program operation is completed inside a Block
Erase Suspend the Read Memory Array command
must be issued to reset the device in Read mode,
then the Erase Resume command can be issued
to complete the whole sequence. Only the blocks
not being erased may be read or programmed cor-
rectly.
See Appendix C, Figure 24, Program Suspend &
Resume Flowchart and Pseudo Code, and Figure
26, Erase Suspend & Resume Flowchart and
Pseudo Code, for suggested flowcharts on using
the Program/Erase Suspend command.
Program/Erase Resume Command. The
gram/Erase Resume command can be used to re-
start the Program/Erase Controller after a
Program/Erase Suspend operation has paused it.
One Bus Write cycle is required to issue the Pro-
gram/Erase Resume command. Once the com-
mand is issued subsequent Bus Read operations
read the Status Register.
Set Burst Configuration Register Command.
The Set Burst Configuration Register command is
used to write a new value to the Burst Configura-
tion Control Register which defines the burst
length, type, X and Y latencies, Synchronous/
Asynchronous Read mode and the valid Clock
edge configuration.
