The device powers on in the read mode. Command sequences are used to place the device in
other operation modes such as program and erase. The device has the capability to protect
the data in any sector. (See “Sector Lockdown” section.)
To increase the flexibility of the device, it contains an Erase Suspend and Program Suspend
feature. This feature will put the Erase or Program on hold for any amount of time and let the
user read data from or program data to any of the remaining sectors within the memory. The
end of a program or an erase cycle is detected by the Ready/Busy pin, Data Polling or by the
toggle bit.
The VPP pin provides data protection and faster programming. When the V
PP
input is below
0.8V, the program and erase functions are inhibited. When V
PP
is at 1.65V or above, normal
program and erase operations can be performed. With V
PP
at 5.0V or 12.0V, the program and
erase operations are accelerated.
A six-byte command (Enter Single Pulse Program Mode) sequence to remove the requirement
of entering the three-byte program sequence is offered to further improve programming time.
After entering the six-byte code, only single pulses on the write control lines are required for
writing into the device. This mode (Single Pulse Byte/Word Program) is exited by powering
down the device, or by pulsing the RESET pin low for a minimum of 500 ns and then bringing
it back to V
CC
. Erase, Erase Suspend/Resume, and Program Suspend/Resume commands
will not work while in this mode; if entered they will result in data being programmed into the
device. It is not recommended that the six-byte code reside in the software of the final product
but only exist in external programming code.
The BYTE pin controls whether the device data I/O pins operate in the byte or word configura-
tion. If the BYTE pin is set at logic “1”, the device is in word configuration, I/O0 - I/O15 are
active and controlled by CE and OE.
If the BYTE pin is set at logic “0”, the device is in byte configuration, and only data I/O pins
I/O0 - I/O7 are active and controlled by CE and OE. The data I/O pins I/O8 - I/O14 are tri-
stated, and the I/O15 pin is used as an input for the LSB (A-1) address function.

Device
Operation
READ:
The AT49BV/LV801(T) is accessed like an EPROM. When CE and OE are low and
WE is high, the data stored at the memory location determined by the address pins are
asserted on the outputs. The outputs are put in the high-impedance state whenever CE or OE
is high. This dual-line control gives designers flexibility in preventing bus contention.
COMMAND SEQUENCES:
When the device is first powered on, it will be reset to the read or
standby mode, depending upon the state of the control line inputs. In order to perform other
device functions, a series of command sequences are entered into the device. The command
sequences are shown in the “Command Definition in Hex” table on page 12 (I/O8 - I/O15 are
don’t care inputs for the command codes). The command sequences are written by applying a
low pulse on the WE or CE input with CE or WE low (respectively) and OE high. The address
is latched on the falling edge of CE or WE, whichever occurs last. The data is latched by the
first rising edge of CE or WE. Standard microprocessor write timings are used. The address
locations used in the command sequences are not affected by entering the command
sequences.
RESET:
A RESET input pin is provided to ease some system applications. When RESET is at
a logic high level, the device is in its standard operating mode. A low level on the RESET input
halts the present device operation and puts the outputs of the device in a high-impedance
state. When a high level is reasserted on the RESET pin, the device returns to the read or
standby mode, depending upon the state of the control inputs.
ERASURE:
Before a byte/word can be reprogrammed, it must be erased. The erased state of
memory bits is a logical “1”. The entire device can be erased by using the Chip Erase com-
mand or individual sectors can be erased by using the Sector Erase command.
CHIP ERASE:
The entire device can be erased at one time by using the six-byte chip erase
software code. After the chip erase has been initiated, the device will internally time the erase
operation so that no external clocks are required. The maximum time to erase the chip is t
EC
.
If the sector lockdown has been enabled, the chip erase will not erase the data in the sector
that has been locked out; it will erase only the unprotected sectors. After the chip erase, the
device will return to the read or standby mode.
SECTOR ERASE:
As an alternative to a full chip erase, the device is organized into 23 sec-
tors (SA0 - SA22) that can be individually erased. The Sector Erase command is a six-bus
cycle operation. The sector address is latched on the falling WE edge of the sixth cycle while
the 30H data input command is latched on the rising edge of WE. The sector erase starts after
the rising edge of WE of the sixth cycle. The erase operation is internally controlled; it will
automatically time to completion. The maximum time to erase a sector is t
SEC
. When the sec-
tor programming lockdown feature is not enabled, the sector will erase (from the same Sector
Erase command). An attempt to erase a sector that has been protected will result in the oper-
ation terminating in 2 µs.
BYTE/WORD PROGRAMMING:
Once a memory block is erased, it is programmed (to a logi-
cal “0”) on a byte-by-byte or on a word-by-word basis. Programming is accomplished via the
internal device command register and is a four-bus cycle operation. The device will automati-
cally generate the required internal program pulses.

3280A–FLASH–06/02
AT49BV/LV801(T)
Any commands written to the chip during the embedded programming cycle will be ignored. If
a hardware reset happens during programming, the data at the location being programmed
will be corrupted. Please note that a data “0” cannot be programmed back to a “1”; only erase
operations can convert “0”s to “1”s. Programming is completed after the specified t
BP
cycle
time. The Data Polling feature or the Toggle Bit feature may be used to indicate the end of a
program cycle. If the erase/program status bit is a “1”, the device was not able to verify that the
erase or program operation was performed successfully.
VPP PIN:
The circuitry of the AT49BV/LV801(T) is designed so that the device can be pro-
grammed or erased from the V
CC
power supply or from the VPP input pin. When V
PP
is greater
than 1.65V and less than or equal to the VCC pin, the device selects the V
CC
supply for pro-
gramming and erase operations. When the VPP pin is greater than the V
CC
supply, the device
will select the V
PP
input as the power supply for programming and erase operations. The
device will allow for some variations between the V
PP
input and the V
CC
power supply in its
selection of V
CC
or V
PP
for program or erase operations. If the VPP pin is within 0.3V of V
CC
for
2.65V < V
CC
< 3.6V, then the program or erase operations will use V
CC
and disregard the V
PP
input signal. When the V
PP
signal is used for program and erase operations, the V
PP
must be
in the 5V ± 0.5V or 12V ± 0.5V range to ensure proper operation. The V
pp
pin cannot be left
floating.
PROGRAM/ERASE STATUS:
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a
program or erase operation: I/O2, I/O3, I/O5, I/O6 and I/O7. The “Status Bit Table” on page 11
and the following four sections describe the function of these bits. To provide greater flexibility
for system designers, the AT49BV/LV801(T) contains a programmable configuration register.
The configuration register allows the user to specify the status bit operation. The configuration
register can be set to one of two different values, “00” or “01”. If the configuration register is set
to “00”, the part will automatically return to the read mode after a successful program or erase
operation. If the configuration register is set to a “01”, a Product ID Exit command must be
given after a successful program or erase operation before the part will return to the read
mode. It is important to note that whether the configuration register is set to a “00” or to a “01”,
any unsuccessful program or erase operation requires using the Product ID Exit command to
return the device to read mode. The default value (after power-up) for the configuration regis-
ter is “00”. Using the four-bus cycle Set Configuration Register command as shown in the
“Command Definition in Hex” table on page 12, the value of the configuration register can be
changed. Voltages applied to the RESET pin will not alter the value of the configuration regis-
ter. The value of the configuration register will affect the operation of the I/O7 status bit as
described below.
DATA POLLING:
The AT49BV/LV801(T) features Data Polling to indicate the end of a pro-
gram cycle. If the status configuration register is set to a “00”, during a program cycle an
attempted read of the last byte/word loaded will result in the complement of the loaded data on
I/O7. Once the program cycle has been completed, true data is valid on all outputs and the
next cycle may begin. During a chip or sector erase operation, an attempt to read the device
will give a “0” on I/O7. Once the program or erase cycle has completed, true data will be read
from the device. Data Polling may begin at any time during the program cycle. Please see
“Status Bit Table” on page 11 for more details.
