Write Operation Status
Several bits, I/O
the A29L040 to determine the status of a write operation.
Table 5 and the following subsections describe the
functions of these status bits. I/O
a method for determining whether a program or erase
operation is complete or in progress. These three bits are
discussed first.

pulse in the program or erase command sequence.
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device
outputs on I/O
to I/O
Erase Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is
complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to
I/O
valid status information on I/O
within a protected sector,
approximately 2 s, then the device returns to reading array
data.
During the Embedded Erase algorithm,
produces a "0" on I/O
algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase
Suspend mode,
analogous to the complement/true datum output described
for the Embedded Program algorithm: the erase function
changes all the bits in a sector to "1"; prior to this, the
device outputs the "complement," or "0." The system must
provide an address within any of the sectors selected for
erasure to read valid status information on I/O
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors
selected for erasing are protected,
active for approximately 100 s, then the device returns to
reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected,
the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected
sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are
protected.
When the system detects I/O
complement to true data, it can read valid data at I/O
on the following read cycles. This is because I/O
change asynchronously with I/O
(
Embedded Algorithms) figure in the "AC Characteristics"
section illustrates this. Table 5 shows the outputs for
