SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The M29F200B is a 2 Mbit (256Kb x8 or 128Kb
x16) non-volatile memory that can be read, erased
and reprogrammed. These operations can be per-
formed using a single 5V supply. On power-up the
memory defaults to its Read mode where it can be
read in the same way as a ROM or EPROM. The
M29F200B is fully backward compatible with the
M29F200.
The memory is divided into blocks that can be
erased independently so it is possible to preserve
valid data while old data is erased. Each block can
be protected independently to prevent accidental
Program or Erase commands from modifying the
memory. Program and Erase commands are writ-
ten to the Command Interface of the memory. An
on-chip Program/Erase Controller simplifies the
process of programming or erasing the memory by
taking care of all of the special operations that are
required to update the memory contents. The end
of a program or erase operation can be detected
and any error conditions identified. The command
set required to control the memory is consistent
with JEDEC standards.

Note: 1. Except for the rating ”Operating Temperature Range”, stresses above those listed in the Table ”Absolute Maximum Ratings” may
cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the device at these or any other conditions
above those indicated in the Operating sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating condi-
tions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the STMicroelectronics SURE Program and other relevant qual-
ity documents.
2. Minimum Voltage may undershoot to –2V during transition and for less than 20ns during transitions.
The blocks in the memory are asymmetrically ar-
ranged, see Tables 3A and 3B, Block Addresses.
The first or last 64 Kbytes have been divided into
four additional blocks. The 16 Kbyte Boot Block
can be used for small initialization code to start the
microprocessor, the two 8 Kbyte Parameter
Blocks can be used for parameter storage and the
remaining 32K is a small Main Block where the ap-
plication may be stored.
Chip Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable sig-
nals control the bus operation of the memory.
They allow simple connection to most micropro-
cessors, often without additional logic.
The memory is offered in TSOP48 (12 x 20mm)
and SO44 packages. Access times of 45ns, 55ns,
70ns and 90ns are available. The memory is sup-
plied with all the bits erased (set to ’1’).
SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure 1, Logic Diagram, and Table 1, Signal
Names, for a brief overview of the signals connect-
ed to this device.
Address Inputs (A0-A16).
The Address Inputs
select the cells in the memory array to access dur-
ing Bus Read operations. During Bus Write opera-
tions they control the commands sent to the
Command Interface of the internal state machine.
Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7).
The Data In-
puts/Outputs output the data stored at the selected
address during a Bus Read operation. During Bus
Write operations they represent the commands
sent to the Command Interface of the internal state
machine.
Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ8-DQ14).
The Data In-
puts/Outputs output the data stored at the selected
address during a Bus Read operation when BYTE
is High, V
IH
. When BYTE is Low, V
IL
, these pins
are not used and are high impedance. During Bus
Write operations the Command Register does not
use these bits. When reading the Status Register
these bits should be ignored.
Data Input/Output or Address Input (DQ15A-1).
When BYTE is High, V
IH
, this pin behaves as a
Data Input/Output pin (as DQ8-DQ14). When
BYTE is Low, V
IL
, this pin behaves as an address
pin; DQ15A–1 Low will select the LSB of the Word
on the other addresses, DQ15A–1 High will select
the MSB. Throughout the text consider references
to the Data Input/Output to include this pin when
BYTE is High and references to the Address In-
puts to include this pin when BYTE is Low except
when stated explicitly otherwise.
Chip Enable (E).
The Chip Enable, E, activates
the memory, allowing Bus Read and Bus Write op-
erations to be performed. When Chip Enable is
High, V
IH
, all other pins are ignored.
Output Enable (G).
The Output Enable, G, con-
trols the Bus Read operation of the memory.
Write Enable (W).
The Write Enable, W, controls
the Bus Write operation of the memory’s Com-
mand Interface.

Reset/Block Temporary Unprotect (RP).
The Re-
set/Block Temporary Unprotect pin can be used to
apply a Hardware Reset to the memory or to tem-
porarily unprotect all Blocks that have been pro-
tected.
A Hardware Reset is achieved by holding Reset/
Block Temporary Unprotect Low, V
IL
, for at least
t
PLPX
. After Reset/Block temporary unprotect goes
High, V
IH
, the memory will be ready for Bus Read
and Bus Write operations after t
PHEL
or t
RHEL
,
whichever occurs last. See the Ready/Busy Out-
put section, Table 14 and Figure 10, Reset/Tem-
porary Unprotect AC Characteristics for more
details.
Holding RP at V
ID
will temporarily unprotect the
protected Blocks in the memory. Program and
Erase operations on all blocks will be possible.
The transition from V
IH
to V
ID
must be slower than
t
PHPHH
.
Ready/Busy Output (RB).
The Ready/Busy pin
is an open-drain output that can be used to identify
when the memory array can be read. Ready/Busy
is high-impedance during Read mode, Auto Select
mode and Erase Suspend mode.
After a Hardware Reset, Bus Read and Bus Write
operations cannot begin until Ready/Busy be-
comes high-impedance. See Table 14 and Figure
10, Reset/Temporary Unprotect AC Characteris-
tics.
During Program or Erase operations Ready/Busy
is Low, V
OL
. Ready/Busy will remain Low during
Read/Reset commands or Hardware Resets until
the memory is ready to enter Read mode.
The use of an open-drain output allows the Ready/
Busy pins from several memories to be connected
to a single pull-up resistor. A Low will then indicate
that one, or more, of the memories is busy.
Byte/Word Organization Select (BYTE).
The Byte/
Word Organization Select pin is used to switch be-
tween the 8-bit and 16-bit Bus modes of the mem-
ory. When Byte/Word Organization Select is Low,
V
IL
, the memory is in 8-bit mode, when it is High,
V
IH
, the memory is in 16-bit mode.
V
CC
Supply Voltage.
The V
CC
Supply Voltage
supplies the power for all operations (Read, Pro-
gram, Erase etc.).
The Command Interface is disabled when the V
CC
Supply Voltage is less than the Lockout Voltage,
V
LKO
. This prevents Bus Write operations from ac-
cidentally damaging the data during power up,
power down and power surges. If the Program/
Erase Controller is programming or erasing during
this time then the operation aborts and the memo-
ry contents being altered will be invalid.
A 0.1µF capacitor should be connected between
the V
CC
Supply Voltage pin and the V
SS
Ground
pin to decouple the current surges from the power
supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to
carry the currents required during program and
erase operations, I
CC4
.
Vss Ground.
The V
SS
Ground is the reference
for all voltage measurements.

BUS OPERATIONS
There are five standard bus operations that control
the device. These are Bus Read, Bus Write, Out-
put Disable, Standby and Automatic Standby. See
Tables 4A and 4B, Bus Operations, for a summa-
ry. Typically glitches of less than 5ns on Chip En-
able or Write Enable are ignored by the memory
and do not affect bus operations.
Bus Read.
Bus Read operations read from the
memory cells, or specific registers in the Com-
mand Interface. A valid Bus Read operation in-
volves setting the desired address on the Address
Inputs, applying a Low signal, V
IL
, to Chip Enable
and Output Enable and keeping Write Enable
High, V
IH
. The Data Inputs/Outputs will output the
value, see Figure 7, Read Mode AC Waveforms,
and Table 11, Read AC Characteristics, for details
of when the output becomes valid.
Bus Write.
Bus Write operations write to the
Command Interface. A valid Bus Write operation
begins by setting the desired address on the Ad-
dress Inputs. The Address Inputs are latched by
the Command Interface on the falling edge of Chip
Enable or Write Enable, whichever occurs last.
The Data Inputs/Outputs are latched by the Com-
mand Interface on the rising edge of Chip Enable
or Write Enable, whichever occurs first. Output En-
able must remain High, V
IH
, during the whole Bus
Write operation. See Figures 8 and 9, Write AC
Waveforms, and Tables 12 and 13, Write AC
Characteristics, for details of the timing require-
ments.
Output Disable.
The Data Inputs/Outputs are in
the high impedance state when Output Enable is
High, V
IH
.
