A hardware method of protecting sectors to prevent

any inadvertent program or erase operations within that

sector

Embedded Erase Algorithms

- Embedded Erase algorithm will automatically erase the

entire chip or any combination of designated sectors

and verify the erased sectors

- Embedded Program algorithm automatically writes and

verifies bytes at specified addresses

Typical 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector

20-year data retention at 125°C

- Reliable operation for the life of the system

Compatible with JEDEC-standards

- Pinout and software compatible with single-power-

supply Flash memory standard

- Superior inadvertent write protection

Data Polling and toggle bits

- Provides a software method of detecting completion of

program or erase operations

Erase Suspend/Erase Resume

- Suspends a sector erase operation to read data from,

or program data to, a non-erasing sector, then

resumes the erase operation

Package options

(8mm x 13.4mm), sTSOP (8mm x 14mm).

General Description

The A29L040A is a 3.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as

524,288 bytes of 8 bits each. The 512 Kbytes of data are

further divided into eight sectors of 64 Kbytes each for

flexible sector erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on

I/O0 - I/O7 while the addresses are input on A0 to A18. The

A29L040A is offered in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP (8mm x 20mm)

or sTSOP (8mm x 13.4mm) packages. This device is

designed to be programmed in-system with the standard

system 3.0 volt VCC supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not

required for in-system write or erase operations. However,

the A29L040A can also be programmed in standard EPROM

programmers.

The A29L040A has a second toggle bit, I/O2, to indicate

whether the addressed sector is being selected for erase,

and also offers the ability to program in the Erase Suspend

mode. The standard A29L040A offers access times of 70ns,

allowing high-speed microprocessors to operate without wait

states. To eliminate bus contention the device has separate

chip enable ( CE ), write enable ( WE ) and output enable

( OE ) controls.

The device requires only a single 3.0 volt power supply for

both read and write functions. Internally generated and

regulated voltages are provided for the program and erase

operations.

The A29L040A is entirely software command set compatible

with the JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard.

Commands are written to the command register using

standard microprocessor write timings. Register contents

serve as input to an internal state-machine that controls the

erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also internally

latch addresses and data needed for the programming and

erase operations. Reading data out of the device is similar to

reading from other Flash or EPROM devices.

Device programming occurs by writing the proper program

command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Program

algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically times the

program pulse widths and verifies proper program margin.

Device erasure occurs by executing the proper erase

command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase

algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically

preprograms the array (if it is not already programmed)

before executing the erase operation. During erase, the

device automatically times the erase pulse widths and

verifies proper erase margin.

The host system can detect whether a program or erase

operation is complete by reading the I/O7 ( Data Polling) and

I/O6 (toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle has

been completed, the device is ready to read array data or

accept another command.

The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be

erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data
