Chip Erase Command Sequence
as in the standard program operation. See
information.
The system must write the Program Resume command (address bits are don’t care) to exit
the Program Suspend mode and continue the programming operation. Further writes of the
Resume command are ignored. Another Program Suspend command can be written after the
device has resume programming.
Chip erase is a six bus cycle operation. The chip erase command sequence is initiated by writ-
ing two unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two additional unlock write cycles are
then followed by the chip erase command, which in turn invokes the Embedded Erase algo-
rithm. The device does not require the system to preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded
Erase algorithm automatically preprograms 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 timings
during these operations.
data requirements for the chip erase command sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns to the read mode and
addresses are no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the erase operation
by using DQ7, DQ6, or DQ2. Refer to
these status bits.
Any commands written during the chip erase operation are ignored, including erase suspend
commands. However, note that a hardware reset immediately terminates the erase opera-
