General Description
The A29002 is a 5.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as 262,144 bytes of 8 bits each. The A29002 offers the RESET function, but it is not available on A290021. The 256 Kbytes of data are further divided into seven sectors for flexible sector erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on I/O0 I/O7 while the addresses are input on A0 to A17. The A29002 is offered in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP, and PDIP packages. This device is designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for in-system write or erase operations. However, the A29002 can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers. The A29002 has the first toggle bit, I/O6, which indicates whether an Embedded Program or Erase is in progress, or it is in the Erase Suspend. Besides the I/O6 toggle bit, the A29002 has a second toggle bit, I/O2, to indicate whether the addressed sector is being selected for erase. The A29002 also offers the ability to program in the Erase Suspend mode. The standard A29002 offers access times of 55, 70, 90, 120, and 150 ns, allowing high-speed microprocessors to operate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip enable ( CE ), write enable ( W E ) and output enable ( OE ) controls.

The device requires only a single 5.0 volt power supply for both read and write functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages are provided for the program and erase operations. The A29002 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.

A29002/A290021 Series
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 contents of other sectors. The A29002 is fully erased when shipped from the factory. The hardware sector protection feature disables operations for both program and erase in any combination of the sectors of memory. This can be achieved via programming equipment. The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put erase on hold for any period of time to read data from, or program data to, any other sector that is not selected for erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved. Power consumption is greatly reduced when the device is placed in the standby mode. The hardware RESET pin terminates any operation in progress and resets the internal state machine to reading array data (This feature is not available on the A290021).

Device Bus Operations
This section describes the requirements and use of the device bus operations, which are initiated through the internal command register. The command register itself does not occupy any addressable memory location. The register is composed of latches that store the commands, along with the address and data information needed to

execute the command. The contents of the register serve as inputs to the internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the function of the device. The appropriate device bus operations table lists the inputs and control levels required, and the resulting output. The following subsections describe each of these operations in further detail.

Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outputs, the system must drive the CE and OE pins to VIL. CE is the power control and selects the device. OE is the output control and gates array data to the output pins. WE should remain at VIH all the time during read operation. The internal state machine is set for reading array data upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory content occurs during the power transition. No command is necessary in this mode to obtain array data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert valid addresses on the device address inputs produce valid data on the device data outputs. The device remains enabled for read access until the command register contents are altered. See "Reading Array Data" for more information. Refer to the AC Read Operations table for timing specifications and to the Read Operations Timings diagram for the timing waveforms, lCC1 in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for reading array data. Standby Mode When the system is not reading or writing to the device, it can place the device in the standby mode. In this mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and the outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE input. The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the CE & RESET pins ( CE only on A290021) are both held at VCC ± 0.5V. (Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than VIH.) The device enters the TTL standby mode when CE is held at VIH, while RESET (Not available on A290021) is held at VCC±0.5V. The device requires the standard access time (tCE) before it is ready to read data. If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws active current until the operation is completed. ICC3 in the DC Characteristics tables represents the standby current specification.

Output Disable Mode
When the OE input is at VIH, output from the device is disabled. The output pins are placed in the high impedance state.

Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To write a command or command sequence (which includes programming data to the device and erasing sectors of memory), the system must drive WE and CE to VIL, and OE to VIH. An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device. The Sector Address Tables indicate the address range that each sector occupies. A "sector address" consists of the address inputs required to uniquely select a sector. See the "Command Definitions" section for details on erasing a sector or the entire chip, or suspending/resuming the erase operation. After the system writes the autoselect command sequence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The system can then read autoselect codes from the internal register (which is separate from the memory array) on I/O7 - I/O0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this mode. Refer to the "Autoselect Mode" and "Autoselect Command Sequence" sections for more information. ICC2 in the Characteristics table represents the active current specification for the write mode. The "AC Characteristics" section contains timing specification tables and timing diagrams for write operations.

RESET : Hardware Reset Pin (N/A on A290021)
The RESET pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading array data. When the system drives the RESET pin low for at least a period of tRP, the device immediately terminates any operation in progress, tristates all data output pins, and ignores all read/write attempts for the duration of the RESET pulse. The device also resets the internal state machine to reading array data. The operation that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is ready to accept another command sequence, to ensure data integrity. The RESET pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the Flash memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory. Refer to the AC Characteristics tables for RESET parameters and diagram.

Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system may check the status of the operation by reading the status bits on I/O7 - I/O0. Standard read cycle timings and ICC read specifications apply. Refer to "Write Operation Status" for more information, and to each AC Characteristics section for timing diagrams.
