PRODUCT OVERVIEW
DPZ4MW16Nn3
write and/or block erase, code/data reads from the module are
again possible via the Read Array command. Erase
suspend/resume capability allows system software to suspend
block erase to read data and execute code from any other block.
The DPZ4MW16Nn3 is a high-performance 64 Megabit memory
organized as eight 1 Mbyte (1,048,576 bytes) of 8 bits each.
Sixteen 64 Kbyte (65,536 byte) blocks are included in each of the
1 Meg x 8 devices on the module. A memory map is shown in
this specification. A block erase operation erases one of the
sixteen blocks of memory in typically 1.6 seconds, independent
of the remaining blocks. Each block can be independently erased
and written 10,000 cycles. Erase Suspend mode allows system
software to suspend block erase to read data or execute code from
any other block of each device.
The Command User Interface serves as the interface between the
microprocessor or microcontroller and the internal operation of
the fuse devices.
Byte Write and Block Erase Automation allow byte write and
block erase operations to be executed using a two-write
command sequence to the Command User Interface. The
internal Write State Machine (WSM) automatically executes the
algorithms and timings necessary for byte write and block erase
operations, including verifications, thereby unburdening the
microprocessor or microcontroller. Writing of memory data is
performed in byte increments typically within 9µs, an 80%
improvement over current flash memory products.
The Status Register indicates the status of the WSM and when the
WSM successfully completes the desired byte write or block erase
operation.
Maximum access time is 150ns (t
ACC
) over the military

temperature range (-55 C to +125 C) and over V

COMMAND USER INTERFACE AND WRITE
AUTOMATION
An on-chip state machine controls block erase and byte write,
freeing the system processor for other tasks. After receiving the
Erase Setup and Erase Confirm commands, the state machine
controls block pre-conditioning and erase, returning progress via
the status Register. Byte write is similarly controlled, after
destination address and expected data are supplied. The program
and erase algorithms are regulated by the state machine,
including pulse repetition where required and internal
verification and margining of data.
DATA PROTECTION
Depending on the application, the system designer may choose
to make the V
PP
power supply switchable (available only when
memory byte writes/block erases are required) or hardwired to
V

.
When V
PP
= V
PPL
, memory contents cannot be altered.
The module Command User Interface architecture provides
protection from unwanted byte write or block erase operations
even when high voltage is applied to V
PP
. Additionally, all
functions are disabled whenever V

The device includes on-chip write automation to manage write
and erase functions. The Write State Machine allows for: 100%
TTL-level control inputs, fixed power supplies during block
erasure and byte write, and minimal processor overhead with
RAM-like interface timings.
After initial device power-up, or after return from deep
powerdown mode (see Table 1), the module functions as a
read-only memory. Manipulation of external memory-control
pins allow array read, standby and output disable operations.
Both Status Register and device identifier can also be accessed
through the Command User Interface when V
PP
= V
PPL
.
This same subset of operations is also available when high voltage
is applied to the V
PP
pin. In addition, high voltage on VPP
enable successful block erasure and byte writing of the
device. All functions associated with altering memory
contents (byte write, block erase, status and device identifier)
are accessed via the Command User Interface and verified
through the Status Register.
Commands are written using standard microprocessor write
timings. Command User Interface contents serve as input to the
WSM, which controls the block erase and byte write circuitry.
Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed for
byte write or block erase operations. With the appropriate
command written to the register, standard microprocessor read
timings output array data, access the device identifier codes, or
output byte write and block erase status for verification.
Interface software to initiate and poll progress of internal byte
write and block erase can be stored in any of the module blocks.
This code is copied to, and executed from, system RAM during
actual flash memory update. After successful completion of byte

BUS OPERATION
Flash memory reads, erases and writes in-system via the local
CPU. All bus cycles to or from the flash memory conform to
standard microprocessor bus cycles.
Dense-Pac Microsystems, Inc.
DEVICE IDENTIFIER OPERATION
The device identifier operation outputs the manufacturer code,
89H, and the device code, A2H, for each device. The system
CPU can then automatically match the device with its proper
block erase and byte write algorithms.
The manufacture and device codes are read via the Command
User Interface. Following a write of 90H to the Command User
Interface, a read from address location 00000H outputs the
manufacturer code (89H). A read from address location 00001H
outputs the device code (A2H). It is not necessary to have high
voltage applied to V
PP
to read the device identifier from the
Command User Interface.
READ
The module has three read modes. The memory can be read from
any of its blocks, and information can be read from the device
identifier or Status Register. V
PP
can be at either V
PPL
or V
PPH
.
The first task is to write the appropriate read mode command to
the Command User Interface (array, device identifier, or Status
Register). The module automatically resets to Read Array mode
upon initial device powerup. The module has four control pins,
two of which must be logically active to obtain data at the outputs.
Chip Enable (
CE
) is the device selection control, and when active
enables the selected memory devices. Output Enable (OE) is the
data input/output (I/O0 - I/O7, I/O8 - I/O15) direction control, and
when active derives data from the selected memory onto the I/O
bus. The AC Waveform for Read Operations illustrates read bus
cycle waveforms.
WRITE
Writes to the Command User Interface enable reading of device
data and device identifier. They also control inspection and
clearing of the Status Register. Additionally, when V
PP
= V
PPH
,
the Command User Interface controls block erasure and byte
write. The contents of the interface register serve as input to the
internal write state machine.
The Command User Interface itself does not occupy an
addressable memory location. The interface register is a latch
used to store the command and address and data information
needed to execute the command. Erase Setup and Erase Confirm
commands require both appropriate command data and an
address within the block to be erased. The Byte Write Setup
command requires both appropriate command data and the
address of the location to be written.
The Command User Interface is written by bringing WE to a
logic-low level (V
IL
) while
CE
is low. Addresses and data are
latched on the rising edge of WE. Standard microprocessor write
timing are used.
Refer to AC Write Characteristics and the AC Waveforms for Write
Operations, for specific timing parameters.
OUTPUT DISABLE
With OE at a logic-high level (V
IH
), the device outputs are
disabled. Output pins (I/O0 - I/O7, I/O8 - I/O15) are placed in a
high-impedance state.
STANDBY
CE at a logic-high level (V
IH
) places the module in standby mode.
Standby operation disables much of the modules circuitry and
substantially reduces device power consumption. The outputs
(I/O0 - I/O7, I/O8 - I/O15) are placed in a high- impedance state
independent of the status of OE. If each device is deselected
during block erase or byte write, the device will continue
functioning and consuming normal active power until the
operation completes.

from the Status Register, until another valid command is written
to the Command User Interface. The contents of the Status
Register are latched on the falling edge of OE or CE, whichever
occurs last in the read cycle. OE or
CE
must be toggled to V
IH
before further reads to update the Status Register latch. The Read
Status Register command functions when V
PP
= V
PPL
or V
PPH
.
COMMAND DEFINITIONS
When V
PPL
is applied to the V
PP
pin, read operations from the
Status Register, device identifier, or array blocks are enabled.
Placing V
PPH
on V
PP
enables successful byte write and block erase
operations as well.
Device operations are selected by writing specific commands into
the Command User Interface. Table 2 defines the device.
CLEAR STATUS REGISTER COMMAND
The Erase Status and Byte Write Status bits are set to “1”s by the
Write State Machine and can only be reset by the Clear Status
Register Command. These bits indicate various failure conditions
(see Table 3). By allowing system software to control the resetting
of these bits, several operations may be performed (such as
cumulatively writing several bytes or erasing multiple blocks in
sequence). The Status Register may then be polled to determine
if an error occurred during that sequence. This adds flexibility to
the way the device may be used.
Additionally, the V
PP
Status bit (SR.3) MUST be reset by system
software before further byte writes or block erase are attempted.
To clear the Status Register, the Clear Status Register command
(50H) is written to the Command User Interface. The Clear Status
Register command is functional when V
PP
= V
PPL
or V
PPH
.
READ ARRAY COMMAND
Upon initial device powerup the module defaults to Read Array
mode. This operation is also initiated by writing FFH into the
Command User Interface. Microprocessor read cycles retrieve
array data. The device remains enabled for reads until the
Command User Interface contents are altered. Once the internal
Write State Machine has started a block erase or byte write
operation, the device will not recognize the Read Array
command, until the WSM has completed it s operation. The Read
Array command is functional when V
PP
= V
PPL
or V
PPH
.
DEVICE IDENTIFIER COMMAND
Each device contains a device identifier operation, initiated by
writing 90H into the Command User Interface. Following the
command write, a read cycle form address 00000H retrieves the
manufacturer code of 89H. A read cycle form address 000001H
returns, the device code of A2H. To terminate the operation, it
is necessary to write another valid command into the register.
Like the Read Array command, the device identifier command is
functional when V
PP
= V
PPL
or V
PPH
.
ERASE SETUP / ERASE CONFIRM COMMANDS
Erase is executed one block at a time, initiated a two-cycle
command sequence. An Erase Setup command (20H) is first
written to the Command User Interface, followed by the Erase
Confirm command (D0H). These commands require both
appropriate sequencing and an address within the block to be
erased to FFH. Block preconditioning, erase and verify are all
handled internally by the Write State Machine, invisible to the
system. After the two-command erase sequence is written to it,
the device automatically outputs Status Register data when read
(see Figure 3; Block Erase Flowchart). The CPU can detect the
completion of the erase event by analyzing the WSM Status bit of
the Status Register.
READ STATUS REGISTER COMMAND
The module contains a Status Register which may be read to
determine when a byte write or block erase operation is complete,
and whether that operation completed successfully. The Status
Register may be read at any time by writing the Read Status
Register command (70H) to the Command User Interface. After
writing this command, all subsequent read operations output data
