GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX29F040C is a 4-mega bit Flash memory orga-
nized as 512K bytes of 8 bits. MXIC's Flash memories
offer the most cost-effective and reliable read/write non-
volatile random access memory. The MX29F040C is
packaged in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP, PDIP. It is designed
to be reprogrammed and erased in system or in standard
EPROM programmers.
The standard MX29F040C offers access time as fast as
70ns, allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors
without wait states. To eliminate bus contention, the
MX29F040C has separate chip enable (CE#) and output
enable (OE#) controls.
MXIC's Flash memories augment EPROM functionality
with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. The
MX29F040C uses a command register to manage this
functionality. The command register allows for 100%
TTL level control inputs and fixed power supply levels
during erase and programming, while maintaining maxi-
mum EPROM compatibility.
MXIC Flash technology reliably stores memory
contents even after 100,000 erase and program
cycles. The MXIC cell is designed to optimize the
erase and program mechanisms. In addition, the
combination of advanced tunnel oxide processing
and low internal electric fields for erase and
programming operations produces reliable cycling.
The MX29F040C uses a 5.0V±10% VCC supply to
perform the High Reliability Erase and auto
Program/Erase algorithms.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is
achieved with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process.
Latch-up protection is proved for stresses up to 100
milliamps on address and data pin from -1V to VCC
+ 1V.

MX29F040C
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING
The MX29F040C is byte programmable using the Auto-
matic Programming algorithm. The Automatic Program-
ming algorithm makes the external system do not need
to have time out sequence nor to verify the data pro-
grammed. The typical chip programming time at room
temperature of the MX29F040C is less than 4.5 sec-
onds.
matically pre-program and verify the entire array. Then
the device automatically times the erase pulse width,
provides the erase verification, and counts the number of
sequences. A status bit toggling between consecutive
read cycles provides feedback to the user as to the sta-
tus of the programming operation.
Register contents serve as inputs to an internal state-
machine which controls the erase and programming cir-
cuitry. During write cycles, the command register inter-
nally latches address and data needed for the program-
ming and erase operations. During a system write cycle,
addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# or
CE#, whichever happens later, and data are latched on
the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens first.
MXIC's Flash technology combines years of EPROM
experience to produce the highest levels of quality, relia-
bility, and cost effectiveness. The MX29F040C electri-
cally erases all bits simultaneously using Fowler-Nord-
heim tunneling. The bytes are programmed by using the
EPROM programming mechanism of hot electron injec-
tion.
During a program cycle, the state-machine will control
the program sequences and command register will not
respond to any command set. During a Sector Erase
cycle, the command register will only respond to Erase
Suspend command. After Erase Suspend is completed,
the device stays in read mode. After the state machine
has completed its task, it will allow the command regis-
ter to respond to its full command set.
AUTOMATIC CHIP ERASE
The entire chip is bulk erased using 10 ms erase pulses
according to MXIC's Automatic Chip Erase algorithm.
Typical erasure at room temperature is accomplished in
less than 4 second. The Automatic Erase algorithm au-
tomatically programs the entire array prior to electrical
erase. The timing and verification of electrical erase are
controlled internally within the device.
AUTOMATIC SECTOR ERASE
The MX29F040C is sector(s) erasable using MXIC's
Auto Sector Erase algorithm. Sector erase modes
allow sectors of the array to be erased in one erase
cycle. The Automatic Sector Erase algorithm
automatically programs the specified sector(s) prior to
electrical erase. The timing and verification of
electrical erase are controlled internally within the
device.
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Programming algorithm require the user
to only write program set-up commands (including 2 un-
lock write cycle and A0H) and a program command (pro-
gram data and address). The device automatically times
the programming pulse width, provides the program veri-
fication, and counts the number of sequences. A status
bit similar to Data# Polling and a status bit toggling be-
tween consecutive read cycles, provide feedback to the
user as to the status of the programming operation.
AUTOMATIC ERASE ALGORITHM
MXIC's Automatic Erase algorithm requires the user to
write commands to the command register using stand-
ard microprocessor write timings. The device will auto-

Note:
1. ADI = Address of Device identifier; A1=0, A0 = 0 for manufacture code,A1=0, A0 = 1 for device code A2-A18=Do
not care.
(Refer to table 3)
DDI = Data of Device identifier : C2H for manufacture code, A4H for device code.
X = X can be VIL or VIH
RA=Address of memory location to be read.
RD=Data to be read at location RA.
2. PA = Address of memory location to be programmed.
PD = Data to be programmed at location PA.
SA = Address to the sector to be erased.
3. The system should generate the following address patterns: 555H or 2AAH to Address A10~A0 .
Address bit A11~A18=X=Don't care for all address commands except for Program Address (PA) and Sector
Address (SA). Write Sequence may be initiated with A11~A18 in either state.
4. For Sector Protect Verify Operation : If read out data is 01H, it means the sector has been protected. If read out
data is 00H, it means the sector is still not being protected.
COMMAND DEFINITIONS
Device operations are selected by writing specific address and data sequences into the command register. Writing
incorrect address and data values or writing them in the improper sequence will reset the device to the read mode.
Table 1 defines the valid register command sequences. Note that the Erase Suspend (B0H) and Erase Resume (30H)
commands are valid only while the Sector Erase operation is in progress. Either of the two reset command sequences
will reset the device (when applicable).
