General Description
The A29800 is a 5.0 volt only Flash memory organized as
1048,576 bytes of 8 bits or 524,288 words of 16 bits each. The
A29800 offers the
RESET
function. The 1024 Kbytes of data
are further divided into nineteen sectors for flexible sector
erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on I/O
0
- I/O
7
while
the addresses are input on A1 to A18; the 16 bits of data
appear on I/O
0
~I/O
15
. The A29800 is offered in 44-pin SOP
and 48-Pin TSOP packages. This device is designed to be
programmed in-system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC
supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for in-system
write or erase operations. However, the A29800 can also be
programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The A29800 has the first toggle bit, I/O
6
, which indicates
whether an Embedded Program or Erase is in progress, or it is
in the Erase Suspend. Besides the I/O
6
toggle bit, the A29800
has a second toggle bit, I/O
2
, to indicate whether the
addressed sector is being selected for erase. The A29800 also
offers the ability to program in the Erase Suspend mode. The
standard A29800 offers access times of 55, 70 and 90 ns,
allowing high-speed microprocessors to operate without wait
states. To eliminate bus contention the device has separate
chip enable (
CE
), write enable (
WE
) and output enable
(
OE
) controls.
The device requires only a single 5.0 volt power supply for
both read and write functions.
Internally generated and regulated voltages are provided for
the program and erase operations.
The A29800 is entirely software command set compatible with
the JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Commands
are written to the command register using standard
microprocessor write timings. Register contents serve as input
to an internal state-machine that controls the erase and
programming circuitry.
Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed
for the programming and erase operations. Reading data out
of the device is similar to reading from other Flash or EPROM
devices.
Device programming occurs by writing the proper program
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Program
algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically times the
program pulse widths and verifies proper program margin.
Device erasure occurs by executing the proper erase
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase
algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically
preprograms the array (if it is not already programmed) before
executing the erase operation.
During erase, the device automatically times the erase pulse
widths and verifies proper erase margin.

AMIC Technology, Corp.
A29800 Series
The host system can detect whether a program or erase
operation is complete by reading the I/O
7
(
Data
Polling) and
I/O
6
(toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle has
been completed, the device is ready to read array data or
accept another command.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be
erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data contents
of other sectors. The A29800 is fully erased when shipped
from the factory.
The hardware sector protection feature disables operations for
both program and erase in any combination of the sectors
of memory. This can be achieved via programming equipment.
The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put erase on
hold for any period of time to read data from, or program data
to, any other sector that is not selected for erasure. True
background erase can thus be achieved.
Power consumption is greatly reduced when the device is
placed in the standby mode.
The hardware
RESET
pin terminates any operation in
progress and resets the internal state machine to reading
array data.

*Comments
Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum
Ratings" may cause permanent damage to this device. These
are stress ratings only. Functional operation of this device at
these or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operational sections of these specification is not implied or
intended. Exposure to the absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Notes:
1. Minimum DC voltage on input or I/O pins is -0.5V. During
voltage transitions, inputs may undershoot VSS to -2.0V
for periods of up to 20ns. Maximum DC voltage on output
and I/O pins is VCC +0.5V. During voltage transitions,
outputs may overshoot to VCC +2.0V for periods up to
20ns.
2. Minimum DC input voltage on A9 pins is -0.5V. During
voltage transitions, A9,
OE
and
RESET
may overshoot
VSS to -2.0V for periods of up to 20ns. Maximum DC input
voltage on A9 and
OE
is +12.5V which may overshoot to
13.5V for periods up to 20ns.
3. No more than one output is shorted at a time. Duration of
the short circuit should not be greater than one second.

Device Bus Operations
This section describes the requirements and use of the
device bus operations, which are initiated through the
internal command register. The command register itself does
not occupy any addressable memory location. The register is
composed of latches that store the commands, along with
the address and data information needed to execute the
command. The contents of the register serve as inputs to the
internal state machine. The state machine outputs dictate the
function of the device. The appropriate device bus operations
table lists the inputs and control levels required, and the
resulting output. The following subsections describe each of
these operations in further detail.
