is applied to the RP# pin. Pro-
gramming or erasing the device is done with a 3.3V
V
CC
P voltage, while all other operations are performed
with a 3.3V V
CC
. The device is fabricated with Micron's
advanced CMOS floating-gate process.
The MT28S4M16LC is organized into 16 indepen-
dently erasable blocks. To ensure that critical firmware
is protected from accidental erasure or overwrite, the
MT28S4M16LC features sixteen 256K-word hardware-
and software-lockable blocks.
The MT28S4M16LC four-bank architecture supports
true concurrent operations. A read access to any bank
can occur simultaneously with a background PRO-
GRAM or ERASE operation to any other bank.
The SyncFlash memory has a synchronous inter-
face (all signals are registered on the positive edge of
the clock signal, CLK). Read accesses to the memory are
burst oriented; accesses start at a selected location and
continue for a programmed number of locations in a
programmed sequence. Accesses begin with the regis-
tration of an ACTIVE command, followed by a READ
command. The address bits registered coincident with
the ACTIVE command are used to select the bank and
row to be accessed. The address bits registered coinci-
dent with the READ command are used to select the
starting column location for the burst access.
The SyncFlash memory provides for programmable
read burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, or 8 locations, or the full
page, with a burst terminate option.
The 4 Meg x 16 SyncFlash memory uses an internal
pipelined architecture to achieve high-speed
operation.
The 4 Meg x 16 SyncFlash memory is designed to
operate in 3.3V, low-power memory systems. A deep
power-down mode is provided, along with a power-
saving standby mode. All inputs and outputs are
LVTTL-compatible.
SyncFlash memory offers substantial advances in
Flash operating performance, including the ability to
synchronously burst data at a high data rate with auto-
matic column-address generation and the capability
to randomly change column addresses on each clock
cycle during a burst access.

CLK
Input
Clock: CLK is driven by the system clock. All SyncFlash memory input
signals are sampled on the positive edge of CLK. CLK also increments
the internal burst counter and controls the output registers.
37
CKE
Input
Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CLK
signal. Deactivating the clock provides STANDBY operation or CLOCK
SUSPEND operation (burst/access in progress). CKE is synchronous
except after the device enters power-down modes, where CKE
becomes asynchronous until after exiting the same mode. The input
buffers, including CLK, are disabled during power-down modes,
providing low standby power. CKE may be tied HIGH in systems where
power-down modes (other than RP# deep power-down) are not
required.
19
CS#
Input
Chip Select: CS# enables (registered LOW) and disables (registered
HIGH) the command decoder. All commands are masked when CS# is
registered HIGH. CS# provides for external bank selection on systems
with multiple banks. CS# is considered part of the command code.
18, 17, 16
RAS#,
Input
Command Inputs: RAS#, CAS#, and WE# (along with CS#) define the
CAS#,
command being entered.
WE#
15, 39
DQML,
Input
Input/Output Mask: DQM is an input mask signal for write accesses
DQMH
and an output enable signal for read accesses. Input data is masked
when DQM is sampled HIGH during a WRITE cycle. The output buffers
are placed in a High-Z state (after a two-clock latency) when DQM is
sampled HIGH during a READ cycle. DQML corresponds to DQ0DQ7
and DQMH corresponds to DQ8DQ15. DQML and DQMH are
considered same state when referenced as DQM.
23-26, 29-34,
A0A11
Input
Address Inputs: A0A11 are sampled during the ACTIVE command
22, 35
(row-address A0A11) and READ/WRITE command (column-address
A0A7) to select one location in the respective bank. The address
inputs provide the Op-Code during LOAD MODE REGISTER command
and the operation code during a LOAD COMMAND REGISTER
command.
40
RP#
Input
Initialize/Power-Down: Upon initial device power-up, a 100s delay
after RP# has transitioned from LOW to HIGH is required for internal
device initialization, prior to issuing an executable command. RP#
clears the status register, sets the internal state machine (ISM) to the
array read mode, and places the device in the deep power-down
mode when LOW. All inputs, including CS#, are "Don't Care" and all
outputs are High-Z. When RP# = V
HH
, all protection modes are ignored
during PROGRAM and ERASE. Also allows the device protect bit to be
set to "1" (protected) and allows the block protect bits at locations 0
and 15 to be set to "0" (unprotected) when brought to V
HH
. RP# must
be held HIGH during all other modes of operation.

SYNCFLASH MEMORY
SDRAM
SDRAM INTERFACE
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
In general, the 64Mb SyncFlash memory (1 Meg x 16
x 4 banks) is configured as a quad-bank, nonvolatile
SDRAM that operates at 3.3V and includes a synchro-
nous interface (all signals are registered on the positive
edge of the clock signal, CLK). Each of the x16's
16,777,216-bit banks is organized as 4,096 rows by 256
columns by 16 bits.
Read accesses to the SyncFlash memory are burst
oriented; accesses start at a selected location and con-
tinue for a programmed number of locations in a pro-
grammed sequence. Accesses begin with the registra-
tion of an ACTIVE command, followed by a READ com-
mand. The address bits registered coincident with the
ACTIVE command are used to select the bank and row
to be accessed (BA0 and BA1 select the bank, A0A11
select the row). The address bits registered coincident
with the READ command are used to select the starting
column location for the burst access (BA0 and BA1 se-
lect the bank, A0A7 select the column).
Prior to normal operation, the SyncFlash memory
must be initialized. The following sections provide de-
tailed information covering device initialization, regis-
ter definition, command descriptions, and device op-
eration.
Initialization
SyncFlash memory must be powered up and initial-
ized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures
other than those specified may result in undefined
operation. After power is applied to V
CC
, V
CC
Q, and V
CC
P
(simultaneously), and the clock is stable, RP# must be
brought from LOW to HIGH. A 100s delay is required
after RP# transitions HIGH in order to complete inter-
nal device initialization.
The SyncFlash memory is now in the array read mode
and ready for mode register programming or an ex-
ecutable command. After initial programming of the
nvmode register, the contents are automatically loaded
into the mode register during initialization and the
device will power up in the programmed state.
Register Definition
MODE REGISTER
The mode register is used to define the specific mode
of operation of the SyncFlash memory. This definition
includes the selection of a burst length, a burst type, a
CAS latency, and an operating mode, as shown in Fig-
ure 1. The mode register is programmed via the LOAD
MODE REGISTER command and will retain the stored
information until it is reprogrammed. The contents of
the mode register may be copied into the nvmode reg-
ister; the mode register settings automatically load the
mode register during initialization. Details on erase
nvmode register and program nvmode register com-
mand sequences are found in the Command Execu-
tion section of the Flash Memory Functional Descrip-
tion.
Mode register bits M0M2 specify the burst length,
M3 specifies the burst type (sequential or interleaved),
M4M6 specify the CAS latency, M7 and M8 specify the
operating mode, M9 specifies the write burst mode in
an SDRAM (M9 = 1 by default), and M10 and M11 are
reserved for future use.
The mode register must be loaded when all banks
are idle, and the controller must wait the specified time
before initiating the subsequent operation. Violating
either of these requirements will result in unspecified
operation.
BURST LENGTH
Read accesses to the SyncFlash memory are burst
oriented, with the burst length being programmable,
as shown in Figure 1. The burst length determines the
maximum number of column locations that can be ac-
cessed for a given READ command. Burst lengths of 1,
2, 4, or 8 locations are available for both sequential and
interleaved burst types, and a full-page burst is avail-
able for the sequential type. The full-page burst is
used in conjunction with the BURST TERMINATE com-
mand to generate arbitrary burst lengths.
Reserved states should not be used, as unknown
operation or incompatibility with future versions may
result.
When a READ command is issued, a block of col-
umns equal to the burst length is effectively selected.
All accesses for that burst take place within this block,
meaning that the burst will wrap within the block if a
boundary is reached. The block is uniquely selected by
A1A7 when the burst length is set to two, by A2A7
when the burst length is set to four, and by A3A7 when
the burst length is set to eight. The remaining (least
significant) address bit(s) are used to select the start-
ing location within the block. Full-page bursts wrap
within the page if the boundary is reached.
BURST TYPE
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed
to be either sequential or interleaved; this is referred to
as the burst type and is selected via bit M3.
The ordering of accesses within a burst is deter-
mined by the burst length, the burst type, and the
starting column address, as shown in Table 1.

clock edge n + m. The DQs will start driving as a result of
the clock edge one cycle earlier (n + m - 1) and, provided
that the relevant access times are met, the data will be
valid by clock edge n + m. For example, assuming that
the clock cycle time is such that all relevant access times
are met, if a READ command is registered at T0, and the
latency is programmed to two clocks, the DQs will start
driving after T1 and the data will be valid by T2, as
shown in Figure 2. Table 2 below indicates the operat-
ing frequencies at which each CAS latency setting can
be used.
Reserved states should not be used, as unknown
operation or incompatibility with future versions may
result.
OPERATING MODE
The normal operating mode is selected by setting
M7 and M8 to zero; the other combinations of values for
M7 and M8 are reserved for future use and/or test
modes. The programmed burst length applies to READ
bursts.
Test modes and reserved states should not be used
because unknown operation or incompatibility with
future versions may result.
WRITE BURST MODE
WRITE bursts are not supported with the
MT28S4M16LC. By default, M9 is set to "1" and write
accesses are single-location (nonburst) accesses.

3. A0A7 provide column address, and BA0 and BA1 determine which bank is being read from or written to.
4. A program setup command sequence (see Truth Table 2) must be completed prior to executing a WRITE.
5. ACTIVE TERMINATE is functionally equivalent to the SDRAM PRECHARGE command, however PRECHARGE (deactivate row
in bank or banks) is not required for SyncFlash memory. A10 LOW: BA0 and BA1 determine the bank being active
terminated. A10 HIGH: All banks active terminated and BA0 and BA1 are "Don't Care."
6. A0A7 define the ComCode, and A8A11 are "Don't Care" for this operation. See Truth Table 2.
7. LOAD COMMAND REGISTER (LCR) replaces the SDRAM AUTO REFRESH or SELF REFRESH command, which is not required
for SyncFlash memory. LCR is the first cycle for Flash memory command sequences. See Truth Table 2.
8. A0A11 define the OpCode written to the mode register. The mode register can be dynamically loaded each cycle,
provided
t
MRD is satisfied. The contents of the nvmode register are automatically loaded into the mode register during
device initialization.
9. Activates or deactivates the DQs during WRITEs (zero-clock delay) and READs (two-clock delay).

NOTE: 1. CMD = Command: Decoded from CS#, RAS#, CAS#, and WE# inputs.
2. NOP/COMMAND INHIBIT commands may be issued throughout any operation command sequence.
3. After a PROGRAM or ERASE operation is registered to the ISM and prior to completion of the ISM operation, a READ to
any location in the bank under ISM control will output the contents of the row activated prior to the LCR/active/write
sequence (see Note 7).
4. In order to meet the
t
RCD specification, the appropriate number of NOP/COMMAND INHIBIT commands must be issued
between ACTIVE and READ/WRITE commands.
5. The ERASE, PROGRAM, PROTECT, UNPROTECT operations are self-timed. The status register may be polled to monitor
these operations.
6. A8A11 are "Don't Care."
7. A row will not be opened when ACTIVE is preceded by LCR. ACTIVE is considered a NOP.
8. Data Inputs: DQ8DQ15 are "Don't Care."
Data Outputs: All unused bits are driven LOW.
9. The block address is required during ACTIVE and READ cycles for the block protect bit location. The first row in a block
should be specified, acceptable values include 000h, 400h, 800h, and C00h. Bank address is "Don't Care" for manufac-
turer compatibility ID, device ID, and device protect bit location.
10. CA = Configuration Address:
000h Manufacturer compatibility ID (2Ch)
001h Device ID (D3h)
x02h Block protect bit, where x = 0, 4, 8, or Ch
003h Device protect bit
11. The proper command sequence (LCR/active/write) is needed to initiate an ERASE, PROGRAM, PROTECT, UNPROTECT
operation.
12. The bank address must match for the three command cycles (LCR/ACTIVE/WRITE) to initiate an ERASE, PROGRAM,
PROTECT, UNPROTECT operation.
13. If the device protect bit is set, then an ERASE, PROGRAM, PROTECT, UNPROTECT operation can still be initiated by
bringing RP# to V
HH
prior to the WRITE command cycle and holding it at V
HH
until the operation is completed.
14. The A10, A11 row address and BA0, BA1 bank address select the block to be protected; A0A9 are "Don't Care."
15. If the device protect bit is not set, RP# = V
IH
unprotects all sixteen 256K-word erasable blocks, except for blocks 0 and
15. When RP# = V
HH
, all sixteen 256K-word erasable blocks (including block 0 and 15) will be unprotected, and the
device protect bit will be ignored. If the device protect bit is set and RP# = V
IH
, the block protect bits cannot be
modified.

SYNCFLASH MEMORY
SDRAM
COMMAND INHIBIT
The COMMAND INHIBIT function prevents new
commands from being executed by the SyncFlash
memory, regardless of whether the CLK signal is en-
abled. The SyncFlash memory is effectively deselected.
Operations already in progress are not affected.
NO OPERATION (NOP)
The NO OPERATION (NOP) command is used to
perform a NOP to a SyncFlash memory that is selected
(CS# is LOW). This prevents unwanted commands from
being registered during idle or wait states. Operations
already in progress are not affected.
LOAD MODE REGISTER
The mode register is loaded via inputs A0A11 and
BA0 and BA1. See mode register heading in Register
Definition section. The LOAD MODE REGISTER com-
mand can only be issued when all banks are idle, and a
subsequent executable command cannot be issued
until
t
MRD is met. The data in the nvmode register is
automatically loaded into the mode register upon
power-up initialization and is the default mode setting
unless dynamically changed with the LOAD MODE
REGISTER command.
ACTIVE
The ACTIVE command is used to open (or activate)
a row in a particular bank for a subsequent access. The
value on the BA0, BA1 inputs selects the bank, and the
address provided on inputs A0A11 selects the row.
This row remains active for accesses until the next AC-
TIVE command, power-down or RESET.
READ
The READ command is used to initiate a burst read
access to an active row. The value on the BA0, BA1
inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on
inputs A0A7 selects the starting column location. Read
data appears on the DQs subject to the logic level on
the DQM input two clocks earlier. If a given DQM signal
was registered HIGH, the corresponding DQs will be
High-Z two clocks later; if the DQM signal was regis-
tered LOW, the DQs will provide valid data.
WRITE
The WRITE command is used to initiate a single-
location write access. A WRITE command must be pre-
ceded by LRC/ACTIVE. The value on the BA0, BA1 in-
puts selects the bank, and the address provided on
inputs A0A7 selects the column location.
Input data appearing on the DQs is written to the
memory array, subject to the DQM input logic level
appearing coincident with the data. If a given DQM
signal is registered LOW, the corresponding data will
be written to memory; if the DQM signal is registered
HIGH, the corresponding data inputs will be ignored,
and a WRITE will not be executed to that word/column
location. A WRITE command with DQM HIGH is con-
sidered a NOP.
ACTIVE TERMINATE
ACTIVE TERMINATE, which replaces the SDRAM
PRECHARGE command, is not required for SyncFlash
memory, but is functionally equivalent to the SDRAM
PRECHARGE command. ACTIVE TERMINATE can be
issued to terminate a BURST READ in progress and
may or may not be bank specific.
BURST TERMINATE
The BURST TERMINATE command is used to trun-
cate either fixed-length or full-page bursts. The most
recently registered READ command prior to the BURST
TERMINATE command will be truncated as shown in
the Operation section of this data sheet. BURST TER-
MINATE is not bank specific.
LOAD COMMAND REGISTER (LCR)
The LOAD COMMAND REGISTER (LCR) command
is used to initiate flash memory control commands to
the command execution logic (CEL). The CEL receives
and interprets commands to the device. These com-
mands control the operation of the ISM and the read
path (i.e., memory array, ID register, or status register).
However, there are restrictions on what commands are
allowed in this condition. See the Command Execution
section of Flash Memory Functional Description for
more details.

BANK/ROW ACTIVATION
Before any READ or WRITE commands can be is-
sued to a bank within the SyncFlash memory, a row in
that bank must be "opened." (Note: A row will not be
activated for LCR/active/read or LCR/active write com-
mand sequences, see the Flash Memory Architecture
section for additional information). This is accom-
plished via the ACTIVE command, which selects both
the bank and the row to be activated.
After opening a row (issuing an ACTIVE command),
a READ or WRITE command may be issued to that row,
subject to the
t
RCD specification.
t
RCD (MIN) should
be divided by the clock period and rounded up to the
next whole number to determine the earliest clock edge
after the ACTIVE command on which a READ or WRITE
command can be entered. For example, a
t
RCD specifi-
cation of 30ns with a 90 MHz clock (11.11ns period)
results in 2.7 clocks rounded to 3. This is reflected in
Figure 4, which covers any case where 2 <
t
RCD (MIN)/
t
CK
3 . (The same procedure is used to convert other
specification limits from time units to clock cycles).
A subsequent ACTIVE command to a different row
in the same bank can be issued without having to close
a previous active row, provided the minimum time in-
terval between successive ACTIVE commands to the
same bank is defined by
t
RC.
A subsequent ACTIVE command to another bank
can be issued while the first bank is being accessed,
which results in a reduction of total row access over-
head. The minimum time interval between successive
ACTIVE commands to different banks is defined by
t
RRD.

READs
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command,
as shown in Figure 5.
The starting column and bank addresses are pro-
vided with the READ command.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element
from the starting column address will be available fol-
lowing the CAS latency after the READ command. Each
subsequent data-out element will be valid by the next
positive clock edge. Figure 6 shows general timing for
one, two, and three CAS latency settings.
Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other com-
mands have been initiated, the DQs will go High-Z. A
full-page burst will continue until terminated. (At the
end of the page, it will wrap to column 0 and continue.)
Data from any READ burst may be truncated with a
subsequent READ command, and data from a fixed-
length READ burst may be immediately followed by
data from a subsequent READ command. In either
case, a continuous flow of data can be maintained. The
first data element from the new burst follows either the
last element of a completed burst, or the last desired
data element of a longer burst that is being truncated.
Figure 5
READ Command
Figure 6
CAS Latency
The new READ command should be issued x cycles
before the clock edge at which the last desired data
element is valid, where x equals the CAS latency minus
one. This is shown in Figure 7 for CAS latencies of one,
two, and three; data element n + 3 is either the last of a
burst of four, or the last desired of a longer burst. The
SyncFlash memory uses a pipelined architecture and
therefore does not require the 2n rule associated with a
prefetch architecture. A READ command can be initi-
ated on any clock cycle following a previous READ com-
mand. Full-speed, random read accesses within a page
can be performed as shown in Figure 8, or each subse-
quent READ may be performed to a different bank.

Figure 9
READ to WRITE
subsequent WRITE command (WRITE commands
must be preceded by LCR/ACTIVE), and data from a
fixed-length READ burst may be immediately followed
by data from a subsequent WRITE command (subject
to bus turnaround limitations). The WRITE may be
initiated on the clock edge immediately following the
last (or last desired) data element from the READ burst,
provided that I/O contention can be avoided. In a given
system design, there may be the possibility that the
device driving the input data would go Low-Z before
the SyncFlash memory DQs go High-Z. In this case, at
least a single-cycle delay should occur between the last
read data and the WRITE command.
The DQM input is used to avoid I/O contention as
shown in Figure 9. The DQM signal must be asserted
(HIGH) at least two clocks prior to the WRITE command
(DQM latency is two clocks for output buffers) to sup-
press data-out from the READ. Once the WRITE com-
mand is registered, the DQs will go High-Z (or remain
High-Z) regardless of the state of the DQM signal. The
DQM signal must be de-asserted prior to the WRITE
command (DQM latency is zero clocks for input buff-
ers) to ensure that the written data is not masked. Fig-
ure 9 shows the case where the clock frequency allows
for bus contention to be avoided without adding a NOP
cycle.
A fixed-length or full-page READ burst can be trun-
cated with ACTIVE TERMINATE (may or may not be
bank specific) or BURST TERMINATE (not bank spe-
cific). The ACTIVE TERMINATE or BURST TERMINATE
command should be issued x cycles before the clock
edge at which the last desired data element is valid,
where x equals the CAS latency minus one. This is
shown in Figure 10 for each possible CAS latency; data
element n + 3 is the last desired data element of a burst
of four or the last desired of a longer burst.

WRITEs
A single-location WRITE is initiated with a WRITE
command (preceded by LCR/ACTIVE, see Truth Table
2), as shown in Figure 11. The starting column and
bank addresses are provided with the WRITE com-
mand. Once a WRITE command is registered, a READ
command can be executed as defined by Truth Tables
4 and 5. An example is shown in Figure 12.
During a WRITE, the valid data-in element will be
registered coincident with the WRITE command. Addi-
tional details on write sequence operations are found
in the Command Execution section.
ACTIVE TERMINATE
The ACTIVE TERMINATE command is functionally
equivalent to the SDRAM PRECHARGE command. Un-
like SDRAM, SyncFlash does not require a PRECHARGE
command to deactivate the open row in a particular
bank or the open rows in all banks. Asserting input A10
HIGH during an ACTIVE TERMINATE command will
terminate a BURST READ in any bank. When A10 is
LOW during an ACTIVE TERMINATE command, BA0
and BA1 will determine which bank will undergo a ter-
minate operation. ACTIVE TERMINATE is considered
a NOP for banks not addresssed by A10, BA0, BA1.
Figure 12
WRITE to READ
BURST READ/SINGLE WRITE
The burst read/single write mode is the default
mode for the MT28S4M16LC; the write burst mode bit
(M9) in the mode register is set to a logic 1. All WRITE
commands result in the access of a single column loca-
tion (burst of one). READ commands access columns
according to the programmed burst length and se-
quence.
POWER-DOWN
Power-down occurs if CKE is registered LOW coinci-
dent with a NOP or COMMAND INHIBIT, when no
accesses are in progress. Entering power-down deacti-
vates the input and output buffers (excluding CKE)
after ISM operations (including WRITE operations) are
completed, for power savings while in standby.
The power-down state is exited by registering a NOP
or COMMAND INHIBIT and CKE HIGH at the desired
clock edge (meeting
t
CKS).
See the Reset/Deep Power-Down description in the
Flash Memory Functional Description for maximum
power savings mode.
CLOCK SUSPEND
The clock suspend mode occurs when a column ac-
cess/burst is in progress and CKE is registered LOW. In
the clock suspend mode, the internal clock is deacti-
vated, "freezing" the synchronous logic.

SYNCFLASH MEMORY
FLASH MEMORY
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SyncFlash memory incorporates a number of
features that make it ideally suited for code storage
and execute-in-place applications on an SDRAM bus.
The memory array is segmented into individual erase
blocks. Each block may be erased without affecting
data stored in other blocks. These memory blocks are
read, programmed, and erased by issuing commands
to the command execution logic (CEL). The CEL con-
trols the operation of the internal state machine (ISM),
which completely controls all ERASE NVMODE REGIS-
TER, PROGRAM NVMODE REGISTER, PROGRAM,
BLOCK ERASE, BLOCK PROTECT, DEVICE PROTECT,
UNPROTECT ALL BLOCKS, and VERIFY operations.
The ISM protects each memory location from
overerasure and optimizes each memory location for
maximum data retention. In addition, the ISM greatly
simplifies the control necessary for programming the
device in-system or in an external programmer.
The Flash Memory Functional Description provides
detailed information on the operation of the SyncFlash
memory and is organized into these sections:
Command Interface
Memory Architecture
Output (READ) Operations
Input Operations
Command Execution
RESET/Power-Down Mode
Error Handling
PROGRAM/ERASE Cycle Endurance
COMMAND INTERFACE
All Flash operations are executed with LCR (LOAD
COMMAND REGISTER), LCR/ACTIVE/READ, or LCR/
ACTIVE/WRITE commands and command sequences
as defined in Truth Tables 1 and 2. See the SDRAM
Interface Functional Description for information on
reading the memory array.
Address pins A0A7 are used to input 8-bit com-
mands during the LCR command cycle. This command
will identify which flash operation is initiated.
Certain LCR/active/write command sequences re-
quire an 8-bit confirmation code on the WRITE cycle.
The confirmation code is input on DQ0DQ7.
All input commands are latched on the positive clock
edge.
MEMORY ARCHITECTURE
The 64Mb SyncFlash is a four-bank architecture with
four erasable "blocks" per bank. By erasing blocks
rather than the entire array, the total device endur-
ance is enhanced, as is system flexibility. Only the
ERASE and BLOCK PROTECT functions are block ori-
ented. The four banks have simultaneous read-while-
write functionality. An ISM PROGRAM or ERASE opera-
tion to any bank can occur simultaneously with a READ
to any other bank.
The SyncFlash memory has a single background
operation ISM to control power-up initialization,
ERASE, PROGRAM, and PROTECT operations. ISM
operations are initiated with an LCR/ACTIVE/WRITE
command sequence. Only one ISM operation can occur
at any time; however, certain other commands, includ-
ing READ operations, can be performed while an ISM
operation is taking place. A new LCR/active/write com-
mand sequence will not be permitted until the current
ISM operation is complete. An operational command
controlled by the ISM is defined as either a bank-level
operation or a device-level operation.
PROGRAM and ERASE are bank-level ISM opera-
tions. After an ISM bank-level operation has been initi-
ated, a READ may be issued to any bank; however, a
READ to the bank under ISM control will output the
contents of the row activated prior to the LCR/active/
write command sequence.
ERASE NVMODE REGISTER, PROGRAM NVMODE
REGISTER, BLOCK PROTECT, DEVICE PROTECT, and
UNPROTECT ALL BLOCKS are device-level ISM opera-
tions. Once an ISM device-level operation has been
initiated, a READ to any bank will output the contents
of the array.
A read status register command sequence may be
issued to determine completion of the ISM operation.
When SR7 = 1, the ISM operation is complete and a new
ISM operation may be initiated.
PROTECTED BLOCKS
The 64Mb SyncFlash memory is organized into 16
erasable memory blocks. Each block may be software
protected by issuing the appropriate LCR/active/write
sequence for a BLOCK PROTECT operation.
The blocks at locations 0 and 15 have additional
protection to prevent inadvertent PROGRAM or ERASE
operations in 3.3V-only platforms. Once a PROTECT
BLOCK operation has been executed to these blocks,
an UNPROTECT ALL BLOCKS operation will unlock all
blocks except the blocks at locations 0 and 15 unless
RP# = V
HH
. This provides additional security for critical
code during in-system firmware updates should an
unintentional power disruption or system reset occur.

SYNCFLASH MEMORY
A second level of block protection is possible
by completing a hardware DEVICE PROTECT opera-
tion. DEVICE PROTECT prevents block protect bit
modification.
The protection status of any block may be checked
by reading the protect bits with a read device configu-
ration command sequence.
COMMAND EXECUTION LOGIC (CEL)
SyncFlash operations are executed by issuing the
appropriate commands to the CEL. The CEL receives
and interprets commands to the device. These com-
mands control the operation of the ISM and the read
path (i.e., memory array, device configuration, or sta-
tus register). Commands may be issued to the CEL
while the ISM is active. However, there are restrictions
on what commands are allowed in this condition. See
the Command Execution section for more details.
INTERNAL STATE MACHINE (ISM)
Power-up initialization, erase, program, and pro-
tect timings are simplified by using an ISM to control all
programming algorithms in the memory array. The ISM
ensures protection against overerasure and optimizes
programming margin to each cell.
During PROGRAM operations, the ISM automati-
cally increments and monitors PROGRAM attempts,
verifies programming margin on each memory cell, and
updates the ISM status register. When BLOCK ERASE is
performed, the ISM automatically overwrites the en-
tire addressed block (eliminates overerasure), incre-
ments and monitors ERASE attempts, and sets bits in
the ISM status register.
ISM STATUS REGISTER
The 16-bit ISM status register allows an external
processor to monitor the status of the ISM during de-
vice initialization, ERASE NVMODE REGISTER, PRO-
GRAM NVMODE REGISTER, PROGRAM, ERASE,
BLOCK PROTECT, DEVICE PROTECT or UNPROTECT
ALL BLOCKS, and any related errors. ISM operations
and related errors can be monitored by reading status
register bits on DQ0DQ8.
All of the defined bits are set by the ISM, but only
the ISM status bits (SR0, SR1, SR2, SR7) are cleared by
the ISM. The erase/unprotect block, program/protect
block, and device protection bits must be cleared by
the host system using the CLEAR STATUS REGISTER
command. This allows the user to choose when to poll
and clear the status register. For example, the host
system may perform multiple PROGRAM operations
before checking the status register instead of checking
after each individual PROGRAM.
A V
CC
power sequence error is cleared by re-
initializing the device.
Asserting the RP# signal or powering down the de-
vice will also clear the status register.

SYNCFLASH MEMORY
OUTPUT (READ) OPERATIONS
SyncFlash memory features three different types of
READs. Depending on the mode, a READ operation
will produce data from the memory array, status regis-
ter, or one of the device configuration registers.
SyncFlash memory is in the array read mode unless a
status register or device register read is initiated or in
progress.
A READ to the device configuration register or the
status register must be preceded by LCR/ACTIVE. The
burst length of data-out is defined by the mode regis-
ter settings. Reading the device configuration register
or status register will not disrupt data in a previously
opened (or "activated") page. When the burst is com-
plete, a subsequent READ will read the array. How-
ever, several differences exist and are described in the
following section. Moving between modes to perform a
specific READ will be covered in the Command Execu-
tion section.
MEMORY ARRAY
A READ command to any bank will output the con-
tents of the memory array. While a PROGRAM or ERASE
ISM operation is in progress, a READ to any location in
the bank under ISM control will output the contents of
the row activated prior to the LCR/active/write com-
mand sequence; a READ to any other bank will output
the contents of the array. All commands and their op-
erations are covered in the SDRAM Interface Functional
Description section.
STATUS REGISTER
Reading the status register requires an LCR/active/
read command sequence. The status register contents
are latched on the next positive clock edge subject to
CAS latencies. The burst length of the status register
data-out is defined by the mode register.
All commands and their operations are covered in
the Command Execution section.
DEVICE CONFIGURATION REGISTERS
Reading the device ID, manufacturer compatibility
ID, device protection status, and block protect status
requires the same input sequencing as when reading
the status register except that specific addresses must
be issued.
All commands and their operations are covered in
the Command Execution section.
INPUT OPERATIONS
An LCR/active/write command sequence is re-
quired to program the array, or to perform an ERASE,
PROTECT, or UNPROTECT operation. The first cycle of
an input operation is LCR where inputs A0A7 deter-
mine the input command being executed to the CEL.
An input operation will not disrupt data in a previously
opened page.
The DQ pins are used either to input data to the
array or to input a command to the command execu-
tion logic (CEL) during the WRITE cycle.
More information describing how to program, erase,
protect, or unprotect the device is provided in the Com-
mand Execution section.
MEMORY ARRAY
Programming or erasing the memory array sets the
desired bits to logic 0s but cannot change a given bit to
a logic 1 from a logic 0. Setting any bit to a logic 1 re-
quires that the entire block be erased. Programming a
protected block requires that the RP# pin be brought to
V
HH
. A0A11 provide the address to be programmed,
while the data to be programmed in the array is input
on the DQ pins. The data and addresses are latched on
the rising edge of the clock. Details on how to input
data to the array is covered in the Command Execution
section.
COMMAND EXECUTION
Commands are issued to bring the device into dif-
ferent operational modes. Each mode has specific op-
erations that can be performed while in that mode. All
modes require that an LCR/active/read or LCR/active/
write sequence be issued, except CLEAR STATUS REG-
ISTER which is a single LCR command. Inputs A0A7
during the LCR command determine the command
being executed. The following section describes the
properties of each mode, and Truth Tables 1 and 2 list
all commands and command sequences required to
perform the desired operation. Read-while-write func-
tionality allows a background operation program or
erase to any bank while simultanously reading any
other bank.
The LCR/active/write command sequences in Truth
Table 2 must be completed on consecutive clock cycles.
However, in order to reduce bus contention issues, an
unlimited number of NOPs or COMMAND INHIBITs
can be issued throughout the LCR/active/write com-
mand sequence. For additional protection, these com-
mand sequences must have the same bank address for
the three command cycles.
If the bank address changes during the LCR/ac-
tive/write command sequence or if the command se-
quences are not consecutive (other than NOPs and
COMMAND INHIBITs), the program and erase status
bits (SR4 and SR5) will be set and the desired operation
will be aborted.

SYNCFLASH MEMORY
STATUS REGISTER
Reading the status register requires an LCR/active/
read command sequence. The status register contents
are latched on the next positive clock edge subject to
CAS latencies for a burst length defined by the mode
register.
DEVICE CONFIGURATION
To read the device ID, manufacturer compatibility
ID, device protect bit, and each of the block protect
bits, the appropriate LCR/active/read command se-
quence for READ DEVICE CONFIGURATION must be
issued. Specific configuration addresses must be is-
sued to read the desired information. The manufac-
turer compatibility ID is read at 000h; the device ID is
read at 001h. The manufacturer compatibility ID and
device ID are output on DQ0DQ7. The device protect
bit is read at 003h; and each of the block protect bits is
read on the third address location within each block
(x02h). The device and block protect bits are output on
DQ0.
The device configuration register contents are out-
put subject to CAS latencies for a burst length defined
by the mode register.
PROGRAM SEQUENCE
Three commands on consecutive clock edges are
required to input data to the array (NOPs and COM-
MAND INHIBITS are permitted between cycles). In
the first cycle, LOAD COMMAND REGISTER is issued
with PROGRAM SETUP (40h) on A0A7, and the bank
address is issued on BA0, BA1. The next command is
ACTIVE, which identifies the row address and con-
firms the bank address. The third cycle is WRITE, dur-
ing which the column address, the bank address, and
data are issued. The ISM status bit will be set on the
following clock edge (subject to CAS latencies).
While the ISM is programming the array, the ISM
status bit (SR7) will be at "0." When the ISM status bit
(SR7) is set to a logic 1, programming is complete, and
the bank will be in the array read mode and ready for a
new ISM operation.
Programming hardware-protected blocks requires
that the RP# pin be set to V
HH
prior to the third cycle
(WRITE), and RP# must be held at V
HH
until the ISM
PROGRAM operation is complete. The program and
erase status bits (SR4 and SR5) will be set and the op-
eration aborted if the LCR/active/write command se-
quence is not completed on consecutive cycles or the
bank address changes for any of the three cycles. After
the ISM has initiated programming, it cannot be
aborted except by a RESET or by powering down the
device. Doing either while programming the array will
corrupt the data being written.
ERASE SEQUENCE
Executing an erase sequence will set all bits within a
block to logic 1. The command sequence necessary to
execute an ERASE is similar to that of a PROGRAM. To
provide added security against accidental block era-
sure, three consecutive command sequences on con-
secutive clock edges are required to initiate an ERASE
of a block. In the first cycle, LOAD COMMAND REGIS-
TER is issued with ERASE SETUP (20h) on A0A7, and
the bank address of the block to be erased is issued on
BA0, BA1. The next command is ACTIVE, where A10,
A11, BA0, and BA1 provide the address of the block to
be erased. The third cycle is WRITE, during which
ERASE CONFRIM (D0h) is issued on DQ0DQ7 and the
bank address is reissued. The ISM status bit will be set
on the following clock edge (subject to CAS latencies).
After ERASE CONFIRM (D0h) is issued, the ISM will
start erasing the addressed block. When the ERASE
operation is complete, the bank will be in the array read
mode and ready for an executable command. Erasing
hardware-protected blocks also requires that the RP#
pin be set to V
HH
prior to the third cycle (WRITE), and
RP# must be held at V
HH
until the erase operation is
complete (SR7 = 1). If the LCR/active/write command
sequence is not completed on consecutive cycles (NOPs
and COMMAND INHIBITs are permitted between
cycles), or the bank address changes for one or more of
the command cycles, the program and erase status bits
(SR4 and SR5) will be set.
PROGRAM AND ERASE NVMODE REGISTER
The contents of the mode register may be copied
into the nvmode register with a PROGRAM NVMODE
REGISTER command. Prior to programming the
nvmode register, an erase nvmode register command
sequence must be completed to set all bits in the
nvmode register to logic 1. The command sequence
necessary to execute an ERASE NVMODE REGISTER
and PROGRAM NVMODE REGISTER is similar to that
of a PROGRAM. See Truth Table 2 for more information
on the LCR/ACTIVE/WRITE commands necessary to
complete ERASE NVMODE REGISTER and PROGRAM
NVMODE REGISTER.
BLOCK PROTECT/UNPROTECT SEQUENCE
Executing a block protect sequence will enable the
first level of software/hardware protection for a given
block. The command sequence necessary to execute a
BLOCK PROTECT is similar to that of a PROGRAM. To
provide added security against accidental block pro-
tection, three consecutive command cycles are re-
quired to initiate a BLOCK PROTECT. In the first cycle,
LOAD COMMAND REGISTER is issued with PROTECT
SETUP (60h) on A0A7, and the bank address of the

SYNCFLASH MEMORY
block to be protected is issued on BA0, BA1. The next
command is ACTIVE, which identifies a row in the block
to be protected and confirms the bank address. The
third cycle is WRITE, during which BLOCK PROTECT
CONFIRM (01h) is issued on DQ0DQ7, and the bank
address is reissued. The ISM status bit will be set on the
following clock edge (subject to CAS latencies) indicat-
ing the PROTECT operation is in progress.
If the LCR/ACTIVE/WRITE is not completed on con-
secutive cycles (NOPs and COMMAND INHIBITs are
permitted between cycles), or the bank address
changes, the write and erase status bits (SR4 and SR5)
will be set and the operation will be aborted. When the
ISM status bit (SR7) is set to a logic 1, the PROTECT
opertation is complete.
Once a block protect bit has been set to a "1" (pro-
tected), it can only be reset to a "0" if the UNPROTECT
ALL BLOCKS command is executed. The unprotect all
blocks command sequence is similar to the block pro-
tect sequence; however, in the third cycle, a WRITE is
issued with UNPROTECT ALL BLOCKS CONFIRM (D0h)
and addresses are "Don't Care." For additional infor-
mation, refer to Truth Table 2.
The blocks at locations 0 and 15 have additional
security. Once the block protect bits at locations 0 and
15 have been set to a "1" (protected), each bit can only
be reset to a "0" if RP# is brought to V
HH
prior to the third
cycle (WRITE) of the UNPROTECT operation, and held
at V
HH
until the operation is complete (SR7 = 1).
If the device protect bit is set, RP# must be brought
to V
HH
prior to the third cycle and held at V
HH
until the
BLOCK PROTECT or UNPROTECT ALL BLOCKS opera-
tion is complete.
To check a block's protect status, a read device con-
figuration command sequence may be issued.
DEVICE PROTECT SEQUENCE
Executing a device protect sequence will set the
device protect bit to a "1" and prevent block protect bit
modification. The command sequence necessary to
execute a DEVICE PROTECT is similar to that of a PRO-
GRAM. Three consecutive command cycles are re-
quired to initiate a DEVICE PROTECT. In the first cycle,
LOAD COMMAND REGISTER is issued with PROTECT
SETUP (60h) on A0A7, and a bank address is issued on
BA0, BA1. The bank address is "Don't Care," but the
same bank address must be used for all three cycles.
The next command is ACTIVE. The third cycle is WRITE,
during which DEVICE PROTECT (F1h) is issued on
DQ0DQ7. RP# must be brought to V
HH
prior to regis-
tration of the WRITE command. The ISM status bit will
be set on the following clock edge (subject to CAS laten-
cies). RP# must be held at V
HH
until the PROTECT op-
eration is complete (SR7 = 1).
Once the device protect bit is set, it can only be reset
to a "0" by issuing a BLOCK UNPROTECT command
with RP# at V
HH
during the operation. With the device
protect bit set to a "1," BLOCK PROTECT or BLOCK
UNPROTECT is prevented unless RP# is at V
HH
during
either operation. The device protect bit does not affect
PROGRAM or ERASE operations.
RESET/DEEP POWER-DOWN MODE
To allow for maximum power conservation, the de-
vice features a very low current, deep power-down
mode.
To enter this mode, the RP# pin (reset/power-down)
is taken to V
SS
0.2V. To prevent an inadvertent RESET,
RP# must be held at V
SS
for 50ns prior to the device
entering the reset mode. With RP# held at V
SS
, the de-
vice will enter the deep power-down mode. After the
device enters the deep power-down mode, a transition
from LOW to HIGH on RP# will result in a device power-
up initialization sequence as outlined in the Device
Initialization section. Transitioning RP# from LOW to
HIGH after entering the reset mode but prior to enter-
ing deep power-down mode (i.e., less than 100ns) will
require a 1s delay prior to issuing an executable com-
mand.
When the device enters the deep power-down
mode, all buffers excluding the RP# buffer are disabled
and the current draw is a maximum of 100A at 3.6V
V
CC
. The input to RP# must remain at V
SS
during deep
power-down. Entering the RESET mode clears the Sta-
tus Register.
ERROR HANDLING
After the ISM status bit (SR7) has been set, the de-
vice protect (SR3), write/protect block (SR4) and erase/
unprotect (SR5) status bits may be checked. If one or a
combination of SR3, SR4, SR5 status bits has been set,
an error has occurred. SR8 is set when an inadvertent
power failure occurs during device initialization. The
device should be reinitialized to ensure proper device
operation. The ISM cannot reset SR3, SR4, SR5 or SR8.
To clear these bits, CLEAR STATUS REGISTER (50h)
must be given. Table 5 lists the combination of errors.
PROGRAM/ERASE CYCLE ENDURANCE
SyncFlash memory is designed and fabricated to
meet advanced code and data storage requirements.
Operation outside specification limits may reduce the
number of PROGRAM and ERASE cycles that may be
performed on the device. Each block is designed and
processed for a minimum of 100,000-PROGRAM/
ERASE-cycle endurance.

When DBS is set to "0," the ISM operation is a bank-level
operation. A READ to the bank under ISM control will
output the contents of the row activated prior to the LCR/
ACTIVE/WRITE command sequence. SR1 and SR2 can be
decoded to determine which bank is under ISM control.
SR0 is used in conjuction with SR7, and is valid when
SR7 = 0. When SR7 = 1, SR0 is reset to "0."
NOTE: 1. SR3-SR5 must be cleared with CLEAR STATUS REGISTER prior to initiating an ISM WRITE operation for the status bits to

NOTE: 1. ACTIVE/READ or READ will output the contents of the row activated prior to the LCR/active/write command sequence. This example illustrates the
timing for activating a new row in bank a. For this example, READ burst length = 2, CAS latency = 2.
2. Com-code = 40h for PROGRAM, 20h for ERASE (see Truth Table 2).
3. LCR/ACTIVE cycles must be initiated prior to READ according to Truth Table 2 for a status register read command sequence.
4. Column address is "Don't Care" for ERASE operation.
5. D

= D0h (erase confirm) for ERASE operation.
