Erase Suspend
recommended that processor interrupts be disabled during this time to guarantee this condition. The interrupts
can be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is written. A time-out of 50 µs from the rising edge of
the last write pulse will initiate the execution of the Sector Erase command(s). If another falling edge of the write
pulse occurs within the 50 µs time-out window the timer is reset. (Monitor DQ
timer window is still open, see “DQ
Suspend during this time-out period will reset the devices to the read mode, ignoring the previous command
string. Resetting the devices once execution has begun will corrupt the data in the sector. In that case, restart
the erase on those sectors and allow them to complete. (Refer to “Write Operation Status” for Sector Erase
Timer operation.) Loading the sector erase buffer may be done in any sequence and with any number of sectors
(6 to 0).
Sector erase does not require the user to program the devices prior to erase. The devices automatically program
all memory locations in the sector(s) to be erased prior to electrical erase (Preprogram function). When erasing
a sector or sectors the remaining unselected sectors are not affected. The system is not required to provide any
controls or timings during these operations.
The automatic sector erase begins after the 50 µs time out from the rising edge of the write pulse for the last
sector erase command pulse and terminates when the data on DQ
which time the devices return to the read mode. Data polling must be performed at an address within any of
the sectors being erased. Multiple Sector Erase Time; [Sector Erase Time + Sector Program Time

command strings and bus operations.
The Erase Suspend command allows the user to interrupt a Sector Erase operation and then perform data reads
from or programs to a sector not being erased. This command is applicable ONLY during the Sector Erase
operation which includes the time-out period for sector erase. The Erase Suspend command will be ignored if
written during the Chip Erase operation or Embedded Program Algorithm. Writting the Erase Suspend command
during the Sector Erase time-out results in immediate termination of the time-out period and suspension of the
erase operation.
Writing the Erase Resume command resumes the erase operation. The addresses are DON’T CARES when
writing the Erase Suspend or Erase Resume command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during the Sector Erase operation, the device will take a maximum
of 20 µs to suspend the erase operation. When the devices have entered the erase-suspended mode, the RY/
BY output pin and the DQ
the erasing sector for reading DQ
writes of the Erase Suspend command are ignored.
When the erase operation has been suspended, the devices default to the erase-suspend-read mode. Reading
data in this mode is the same as reading from the standard read mode except that the data must be read from
sectors that have not been erase-suspended. Successively reading from the erase-suspended sector while the
device is in the erase-suspend-read mode will cause DQ
After entering the erase-suspend-read mode, the user can program the device by writing the appropriate
command sequence for Program. This program mode is known as the erase-suspend-program mode. Again,
programming in this mode is the same as programming in the regular Program mode except that the data must
be programmed to sectors that are not erase-suspended. Successively reading from the erase-suspended sector
while the devices are in the erase-suspend-program mode will cause DQ
