memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical
erase. The system is not required to provide any con-
trols or timings during these operations. Table 14
shows the address and data requirements for the chip
erase command sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete,
that bank returns to the read mode and addresses are
no longer latched. The system can determine the sta-
tus of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2,
or RY/BY#. Refer to the Write Operation Status sec-
tion for information on these status bits.
Any commands written during the chip erase operation
are ignored. However, note that a hardware reset im-
mediately terminates the erase operation. If that
occurs, the chip erase command sequence should be
reinitiated once that bank has returned to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera-
tion. Refer to the Erase and Program Operations
tables in the AC Characteristics section for parame-
ters, and Figure 19 section for timing diagrams.
Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector
erase command sequence is initiated by writing two
unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two ad-
ditional unlock cycles are written, and are then
followed by the address of the sector to be erased,
and the sector erase command. Table 14 shows the
address and data requirements for the sector erase
command sequence.
The device does not require the system to preprogram
prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm auto-
matically programs and verifies the entire memory for
an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The
system is not required to provide any controls or tim-
ings during these operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase
time-out of 50 µs occurs. During the time-out period,
additional sector addresses and sector erase com-
mands (for sectors within the same bank) may be
written. Loading the sector erase buffer may be done
in any sequence, and the number of sectors may be
from one sector to all sectors. The time between these
additional cycles must be less than 50 µs, otherwise
erasure may begin. Any sector erase address and
command following the exceeded time-out may or
may not be accepted. It is recommended that proces-
sor interrupts be disabled during this time to ensure all
commands are accepted. The interrupts can be re-en-
abled after the last Sector Erase command is written.
Any command other than Sector Erase or Erase
Suspend during the time-out period resets that
bank to the read mode. The system must rewrite the

command sequence and any additional addresses
and commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sec-
tor erase timer has timed out (See the section on DQ3:
Sector Erase Timer.). The time-out begins from the ris-
ing edge of the final WE# pulse in the command
sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the
bank returns to reading array data and addresses are
no longer latched. Note that while the Embedded
Erase operation is in progress, the system can read
data from the non-erasing bank. The system can de-
termine the status of the erase operation by reading
DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY# in the erasing bank.
Refer to the Write Operation Status section for infor-
mation on these status bits.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the
Erase Suspend command is valid. All other com-
mands are ignored. However, note that a hardware
reset immediately terminates the erase operation. If
that occurs, the sector erase command sequence
should be reinitiated once that bank has returned to
reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera-
tion. Refer to the Erase and Program Operations
tables in the AC Characteristics section for parame-
ters, and Figure 19 section for timing diagrams.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
Commands
The Erase Suspend command, B0h, allows the sys-
tem to interrupt a sector erase operation and then read
data from, or program data to, any sector not selected
for erasure. The bank address is required when writing
this command. This command is valid only during the
sector erase operation, including the 50 µs time-out
period during the sector erase command sequence.
The Erase Suspend command is ignored if written dur-
ing the chip erase operation or Embedded Program
algorithm.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during
the sector erase operation, the device requires a max-
imum of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation.
However, when the Erase Suspend command is writ-
ten during the sector erase time-out, the device
immediately terminates the time-out period and sus-
pends the erase operation.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the
bank enters the erase-suspend-read mode. The sys-
tem can read data from or program data to any sector
not selected for erasure. (The device “erase sus-
pends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Reading at
any address within erase-suspended sectors pro-
duces status information on DQ7–DQ0. The system
