Temporary Sector Unprotect Operation

Hardware Data Protection

The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles

for programming or erasing provides data protection

against inadvertent writes (refer to Table 9 for com-

mand definitions). In addition, the following hardware

data protection measures prevent accidental erasure

or programming, which might otherwise be caused by

spurious system level signals during VCC power-up and

power-down transitions, or from system noise.

Low VCC Write Inhibit

When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not ac-

cept any write cycles. This protects data during VCC

power-up and power-down. The command register and

all internal program/erase circuits are disabled, and the

device resets. Subsequent writes are ignored until VCC

is greater than VLKO. The system must provide the

proper signals to the control pins to prevent uninten-

tional writes when VCC is greater than VLKO.

Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection

Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or

WE# do not initiate a write cycle.

Logical Inhibit

Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# =

VIL, CE# = VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle,

CE# and WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a

logical one.

Power-Up Write Inhibit

If WE# = CE# = VIL and OE# = VIH during power up, the

device does not accept commands on the rising edge

of WE#. The internal state machine is automatically

reset to reading array data on power-up.

COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE

(CFI)

The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification out-

lines device and host system software interrogation

handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified

software algorithms to be used for entire families of

devices. Software support can then be device-indepen-

dent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and back-

ward-compatible for the specified flash device families.

Flash vendors can standardize their existing interfaces

for long-term compatibility.

This device enters the CFI Query mode when the

system writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to

address 55h, any time the device is ready to read array

data. The system can read CFI information at the

addresses given in Tables 5–8. To terminate reading

CFI data, the system must write the reset command.

The system can also write the CFI query command

when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device

enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read

CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 5–8. The

system must write the reset command to return the

device to the autoselect mode.

For further information, please refer to the CFI Specifi-

cation and CFI Publication 100, available via the World

Wide Web at http://www.amd.com/products/nvd/over-

view/cfi.html. Alternatively, contact an AMD represen-

tative for copies of these documents.
