General Description
The A29L040 is a 3.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as
524,288 bytes of 8 bits each. The 512 Kbytes of data are
further divided into eight sectors of 64 Kbytes each for
flexible sector erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on
I/O
0
- I/O
7
while the addresses are input on A0 to A18. The
A29L040 is offered in 32-pin PLCC, TSOP (8mm x 20mm) or
sTSOP (8mm x 13.4mm) packages. This device is designed
to be programmed in-system with the standard system 3.0
volt VCC supply. Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for
in-system write or erase operations. However, the A29L040
can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The A29L040 has a second toggle bit, I/O
2
, to indicate
whether the addressed sector is being selected for erase,
and also offers the ability to program in the Erase Suspend
mode. The standard A29L040 offers access times of 70ns,
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 3.0 volt power supply for
both read and write functions. Internally generated and
regulated voltages are provided for the program and erase
operations.
The A29L040 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.
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 A29L040 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

Notes:
1. Minimum DC voltage on input or I/O pins is -0.5V. During
voltage transitions, input or I/O pins may undershoot VSS
to -2.0V for periods of up to 20ns. Maximum DC voltage
on input and I/O pins is VCC +0.2V. During voltage
transitions, input or I/O pins may overshoot to VCC +2.0V
for periods up to 20ns.
2. Minimum DC input voltage on A9 and
OE
is -0.5V.
During voltage transitions, A9 and
OE
may overshoot
VSS to -2.0V for periods of up to 20ns. Maximum DC
input voltage on A9 is +12.5V which may overshoot to
14.0V 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.
