ETOXTM V Nonvolatile Flash
Technology
Intel's Word-Wide FlashFileTM memory family provides high-density, low-cost, non-volatile, read/write storage
solutions for a wide range of applications. The Word-Wide FlashFile memories are available at various
densities in the same package type. Their symmetrically-blocked architecture, flexible voltage, and extended
cycling provide highly flexible components suitable for resident flash arrays, SIMMs, and memory cards.
Enhanced suspend capabilities provide an ideal solution for code or data storage applications. For secure
code storage applications, such as networking, where code is either directly executed out of flash or
downloaded to DRAM, the Word-Wide FlashFile memories offer three levels of protection: absolute protection
with V
PP
at GND, selective block locking, and program/erase lockout during power transitions. These
alternatives give designers ultimate control of their code security needs.
This family of products is manufactured on Intel's 0.4
m ETOXTM V process technology. It comes in the
industry-standard 56-lead SSOP and
BGA packages. In addition, the 16-Mb device is available in the
industry-standard 56-lead TSOP package.

INTRODUCTION
This datasheet contains 16- and 32-Mbit Word-
Wide FlashFile
TM
memory (28F160S3 and
28F320S3) specifications. Section 1 provides a
flash memory overview. Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5
describe the memory organization and functionality.
Section 6 covers electrical specifications for
extended temperature product offerings.
1.1
New Features
The Word-Wide FlashFile memory family maintains
basic compatibility with Intel's 28F016SA and
28F016SV. Key enhancements include:
Common Flash Interface (CFI) Support
Scaleable Command Set (SCS) Support
Low Voltage Technology
Enhanced Suspend Capabilities
They share a compatible Status Register, basic
software commands, and pinout. These similarities
enable a clean migration from the 28F016SA or
28F016SV. When upgrading, it is important to note
the following differences:
Because of new feature and density options,
the devices have different manufacturer and
device identifier codes. This allows for software
optimization.
New software commands.
To take advantage of low voltage on the
28F160S3 and 28F320S3, allow V
PP
connection to V
CC
. The 28F160S3 and
28F320S3 do not support a 12V V
PP
option.
1.2
Product Overview
The Word-Wide FlashFile memory family provides
density upgrades with pinout compatibility for the
16- and 32-Mbit densities. They are high-
performance memories arranged as 1 Mword and
2 Mwords of 16 bits or 2 Mbyte and 4 Mbyte of
8 bits. This data is grouped in thirty-two and sixty-
four 64-Kbyte blocks that can be erased, locked
and unlocked in-system. Figure 1 shows the block
diagram, and Figure 5 illustrates the memory
organization.
This family of products are optimized for fast factory
programming and low power designs. Specifically
designed for 3V systems, the 28F160S3 and
28F320S3 support read operations at 2.7V3.6V
Vcc with block erase and program operations at
2.7V3.6V and 5V V
PP
. High programming
performance is achieved through highly-optimized
write buffers. A 5V V
PP
option is available for even
faster factory programming. For a simple low power
design, V
CC
and V
PP
can be tied to 2.7V.
Additionally, the dedicated V
PP
pin gives complete
data protection when V
PP
V
PPLK
.
Internal V
PP
detection circuitry automatically
configures the device for optimized write
operations.
A Common Flash Interface (CFI) permits OEM-
specified software algorithms to be used for entire
families of devices. This allows device-independent,
JEDEC ID-independent, and forward- and
backward-compatible software support for the
specified flash device families. Flash vendors can
standardize their existing interfaces for long-term
compatibility.
Scaleable Command Set (SCS) allows a single,
simple software driver in all host systems to work
with all SCS-compliant flash memory devices,
independent of system-level packaging (e.g.,
memory card, SIMM, or direct-to-board placement).
Additionally, SCS provides the highest
system/device data transfer rates and minimizes
device and system-level implementation costs.
A Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the
interface between the system processor and
internal device operation. A valid command
sequence written to the CUI initiates device
automation. An internal Write State Machine (WSM)
automatically executes the algorithms and timings
necessary for block erase, program, and lock-bit
configuration operations.
A block erase operation erases one of the device's
64-Kbyte blocks typically within t
WHQV2/EHQV2
independent of other blocks. Each block can be
independently erased 100,000 times. Block erase
suspend mode allows system software to suspend
block erase to read or write data from any other
block.
Data is programmed in byte, word or page
increments. Program suspend mode enables the
system to read data or execute code from any other
flash memory array location.
28F160S3, 28F320S3

6
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The device incorporates two Write Buffers of 32
bytes (16 words) to allow optimum-performance
data programming. This feature can improve
system program performance by up to four times
over non-buffer programming.
Individual block locking uses a combination of block
lock-bits to lock and unlock blocks. Block lock-bits
gate block erase, full chip erase, program and write
to buffer operations. Lock-bit configuration
operations (Set Block Lock-Bit and Clear Block
Lock-Bits commands) set and clear lock-bits.
The Status Register and the STS pin in RY/BY#
mode indicate whether or not the device is busy
executing an operation or ready for a new
command. Polling the Status Register, system
software retrieves WSM feedback. STS in RY/BY#
mode gives an additional indicator of WSM activity
by providing a hardware status signal. Like the
Status Register, RY/BY#-low indicates that the
WSM is performing a block erase, program, or lock-
bit operation. RY/BY#-high indicates that the WSM
is ready for a new command, block erase is
suspended (and program is inactive), program is
suspended, or the device is in deep power-down
mode.
The Automatic Power Savings (APS) feature
substantially reduces active current when the
device is in static mode (addresses not switching).
The BYTE# pin allows either x8 or x16 read/writes
to the device. BYTE# at logic low selects 8-bit
mode with address A
0
selecting between the low
byte and high byte. BYTE# at logic high enables
16-bit operation with address A
1
becoming the
lowest order address. Address A
0
is not used in 16-
bit mode.
When one of the CE
X
# pins (CE
0
#, CE
1
#) and RP#
pins are at V
CC
, the component enters a CMOS
standby mode. Driving RP# to GND enables a deep
power-down mode which significantly reduces
power consumption, provides write protection,
resets the device, and clears the Status Register. A
reset time (t
PHQV
) is required from RP# switching
high until outputs are valid. Likewise, the device
has a wake time (t
PHEL
) from RP#-high until writes
to the CUI are recognized.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The word-wide memories include an on-chip
Write State Machine (WSM) to manage block
erase, program, and lock-bit configuration
functions. It allows for: 100% TTL-level control
inputs, fixed power supplies during block erasure,
programming, lock-bit configuration, and minimal
processor overhead with RAM-like interface
timings.
After initial device power-up or return from deep
power-down mode (see Bus Operations), the
device defaults to read array mode. Manipulation
of external memory control pins allow array read,
standby, and output disable operations.
Read Array, Status Register, query, and identifier
codes can be accessed through the CUI
independent of the V
PP
voltage. Proper
programming voltage on V
PP
enables successful
block erasure, program, and lock-bit
configuration. All functions associated with
altering memory contents--block erase, program,
lock-bit configuration--are accessed via the CUI
and verified through the Status Register.
E
28F160S3, 28F320S3
11
ADVANCE INFORMATION
Commands are written using standard micro-
processor write timings. The CUI contents serve
as input to the WSM that controls the block
erase, programming, and lock-bit configuration.
The internal algorithms are regulated by the
WSM, including pulse repetition, internal
verification, and margining of data. Addresses
and data are internally latched during write
cycles. Writing the appropriate command outputs
array data, identifier codes, or Status Register
data.
Interface software that initiates and polls
progress of block erase, programming, and lock-
bit configuration can be stored in any block. This
code is copied to and executed from system
RAM during flash memory updates. After
successful completion, reads are again possible
via the Read Array command. Block erase
suspend allows system software to suspend a
block erase to read or write data from any other
block. Program suspend allows system software
to suspend a program to read data from any
other flash memory array location.
2.1
Data Protection
Depending on the application, the system
designer may choose to make the V
PP
power
supply switchable or hardwired to V
PPH1/2
. The
device supports either design practice, and
encourages optimization of the processor-
memory interface.
When V
PP
V
PPLK
, memory contents cannot be
altered. When high voltage is applied to V
PP
, the
two-step block erase, program, or lock-bit
configuration command sequences provide
protection from unwanted operations. All write
functions are disabled when V
CC
voltage is below
the write lockout voltage V
LKO
or when RP# is at
V
IL
. The device's block locking capability
provides additional protection from inadvertent
code or data alteration.

BUS OPERATION
The local CPU reads and writes flash memory in-
system. All bus cycles to or from the flash
memory conform to standard microprocessor bus
cycles.
3.1
Read
Block information, query information, identifier
codes and Status Registers can be read
independent of the V
PP
voltage.
The first task is to place the device into the
desired read mode by writing the appropriate
read-mode command (Read Array, Query, Read
Identifier Codes, or Read Status Register) to the
CUI. Upon initial device power-up or after exit
from deep power-down mode, the device
automatically resets to read array mode. Control
pins dictate the data flow in and out of the
component. CE
0
#, CE
1
# and OE# must be driven
active to obtain data at the outputs. CE
0
# and
CE
1
# are the device selection controls, and,
when both are active, enable the selected
memory device. OE# is the data output (DQ
0
DQ
15
) control: When active it drives the selected
memory data onto the I/O bus. WE# must be at
V
IH
and RP# must be at V
IH
. Figure 17 illustrates
a read cycle.
3.2
Output Disable
With OE# at a logic-high level (V
IH
), the device
outputs are disabled. Output pins DQ
0
DQ
15
are
placed in a high-impedance state.
3.3
Standby
CE
0
# or CE
1
# at a logic-high level (V
IH
) places
the device in standby mode, substantially
reducing device power consumption. DQ
0
DQ
15
(or DQ
0
DQ
7
in x8 mode) outputs are placed in
a high-impedance state independent of OE#. If
deselected during block erase, programming, or
lock-bit configuration, the device continues
functioning and consuming active power until the
operation completes.

initiates the deep power-down mode.
In read mode, RP#-low deselects the memory,
places output drivers in a high-impedance state,
and turns off all internal circuits. RP# must be
held low for time t
PLPH
. Time t
PHQV
is required
after return from power-down until initial memory
access outputs are valid. After this wake-up
interval, normal operation is restored. The CUI
resets to read array mode, and the Status
Register is set to 80H.
During block erase, programming, or lock-bit
configuration modes, RP#-low will abort the
operation. STS in RY/BY# mode remains low
until the reset operation is complete. Memory
contents being altered are no longer valid; the
data may be partially corrupted after
programming or partially altered after an erase or
lock-bit configuration. Time t
PHWL
is required after
RP# goes to logic-high (V
IH
) before another
command can be written.
It is important in any automated system to assert
RP# during system reset. When the system
comes out of reset, it expects to read from the
flash memory. Automated flash memories
provide status information when accessed during
block erase, programming, or lock-bit
configuration modes. If a CPU reset occurs with
no flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization
may not occur because the flash memory may be
providing status information instead of array data.
Intel's Flash memories allow proper CPU
initialization following a system reset through the
use of the RP# input. In this application, RP# is
controlled by the same RESET# signal that
resets the system CPU.

Read Identifier Codes
Operation
The read-identifier codes operation outputs the
manufacturer code, device code, and block lock
configuration codes for each block configuration
(see Figure 6). Using the manufacturer and
device codes, the system software can
automatically match the device with its proper
algorithms. The block-lock configuration codes
identify each block's lock-bit setting.
Figure 6. Device Identifier Code Memory Map
3.7
Write
Writing commands to the CUI enables reading of
device data, query, identifier codes, inspection
and clearing of the Status Register. Additionally,
when V
PP
= V
PPH1/2
, block erasure, programming,
and lock-bit configuration can also be performed.
The Block Erase command requires appropriate
command data and an address within the block
to be erased. The Byte/Word Write command
requires the command and address of the
location to be written. Set Block Lock-Bit
commands require the command and address
within the block to be locked. The Clear Block
Lock-Bits command requires the command and
an address within the device.
The CUI does not occupy an addressable
memory location. It is written when WE#, CE
0
#,
and CE
1
# are active and OE# = V
IH
. The address
and data needed to execute a command are
latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE

Standard microprocessor write timings are used.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
NOTES:
1. Bus operations are defined in Table 2.
2. X = Any valid address within the device.
BA = Address within the block being erased or locked.
IA = Identifier Code Address: see Table 12.
QA = Query database Address.
PA = Address of memory location to be programmed.
3. ID = Data read from Query database.
SRD = Data read from Status Register. See Table 15 for a description of the Status Register bits.
PD = Data to be programmed at location PA. Data is latched on the rising edge of WE#.
CC = Configuration Code. (See Table 14.)
4. The upper byte of the data bus (DQ
815
) during command writes is a "Don't Care" in x16 operation.
5. Following the Read Identifier Codes command, read operations access manufacturer, device, and block-lock codes. See
Section 4.3 for read identifier code data.
6. If a block is locked (i.e., the block's lock-bit is set to 0), WP# must be at V
IH
in order to perform block erase, program and
suspend operations. Attempts to issue a block erase, program and suspend operation to a locked block while WP# is V
IL
will fail.
7. Either 40H or 10H are recognized by the WSM as the byte/word program setup.
8. After the Write to Buffer command is issued, check the XSR to make sure a Write Buffer is available.
9. N = byte/word count argument such that the number of bytes/words to be written to the input buffer = N + 1. N = 0 is 1
byte/word length, and so on. Write to Buffer is a multi-cycle operation, where a byte/word count of N + 1 is written to the
correct memory address (WA) with the proper data (WD). The Confirm command (D0h) is expected after exactly N + 1 write
cycles; any other command at that point in the sequence aborts the buffered write. Writing a byte/word count outside the
buffer boundary causes unexpected results and should be avoided.
10. The write to buffer, block erase, or full chip erase operation does not begin until a Confirm command (D0h) is issued.
Confirm also reactivates suspended operations.
11. A block lock-bit can be set only while WP# is V
IH
.
12. WP# must be at V
IH
to clear block lock-bits. The clear block lock-bits operation simultaneously clears all block lock-bits.
13. Commands other than those shown above are reserved for future use and should not be used.
14. The Basic Command Set (BCS) is the same as the 28F008SA Command Set or Intel Standard Command Set. The
Scaleable Command Set (SCS) is also referred to as the Intel Extended Command Set.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
4.1
Read Array Command
Upon initial device power-up and after exit from
deep power-down mode, the device defaults to read
array mode. This operation is also initiated by
writing the Read Array command. The device
remains enabled for reads until another command
is written. Once the internal WSM has started block
erase, program, or lock-bit configuration, the device
will not recognize the Read Array command until
the WSM completes its operation--unless the WSM
is suspended via an Erase-Suspend or Program-
Suspend command. The Read Array command
functions independently of the V
PP
voltage.
4.2
Read Query Mode Command
This section defines the data structure or
"database" returned by the Common Flash Interface
(CFI) Query command. System software should
parse this structure to gain critical information such
as block size, density, x8/x16, and electrical
specifications. Once this information has been
obtained, the software will know which command
sets to use to enable flash writes, block erases, and
otherwise control the flash component. The Query
is part of an overall specification for multiple
command set and control interface descriptions
called Common Flash Interface, or CFI.
4.2.1
QUERY STRUCTURE OUTPUT
The Query "database" allows system software to
gain critical information for controlling the flash
component. This section describes the device's
CFI-compliant interface that allows the host system
to access Query data.
Query data are always presented on the lowest-
order data outputs (DQ
0-7
) only. The numerical
offset value is the address relative to the maximum
bus width supported by the device. On this device,
the Query table device starting address is a 10h
word address, since the maximum bus width is x16.
For this word-wide (x16) device, the first two bytes
of the Query structure, "Q" and "R" in ASCII, appear
on the low byte at word addresses 10h and 11h.
This CFI-compliant device outputs 00H data on
upper bytes. Thus, the device outputs ASCII "Q" in
the low byte (DQ
0-7
) and 00h in the high byte
(DQ
8-15
).
Since the device is x8/x16 capable, the x8 data is
still presented in word-relative (16-bit) addresses.
However, the "fill data" (00h) is not the same as
driven by the upper bytes in the x16 mode. As in
x16 mode, the byte address (A
0
) is ignored for
Query output so that the "odd byte address" (A
0
high) repeats the "even byte address" data (A
0
low).
Therefore, in x8 mode using byte addressing, the
device will output the sequence "Q", "Q", "R", "R",
"Y", "Y", and so on, beginning at byte-relative
address 20h (which is equivalent to word offset 10h
in x16 mode).
At Query addresses containing two or more bytes
of information, the least significant data byte is
presented at the lower address, and the most
significant data byte is presented at the higher
address.

The Block Status Register indicates whether an
erase operation completed successfully or whether
a given block is locked or can be accessed for flash
program/erase operations.
Block Erase Status (BSR.1) allows system software
to determine the success of the last block erase
operation. BSR.1 can be used just after power-up to
verify that the V
CC
supply was not accidentally
removed during an erase operation. This bit is only
reset by issuing another erase operation to the
block. The Block Status Register is accessed from
word address 02h within each block.

Read Identifier Codes
Command
The identifier code operation is initiated by writing
the Read Identifier Codes command. Following the
command write, read cycles from addresses shown
in Figure 6 retrieve the manufacturer, device, block
lock configuration, and block erase status codes
(see Table
12 for identifier code values). To
terminate the operation, write another valid
command. Like the Read Array command, the
Read Identifier Codes command functions
independently of the V
PP
voltage. Following the
Read Identifier Codes command, the information in
Table 12 can be read.
4.4
Read Status Register
Command
The Status Register may be read to determine
when programming, block erasure, or lock-bit
configuration is complete and whether the operation
completed successfully. It may be read at any time
by writing the Read Status Register command.
After writing this command, all subsequent read
operations output data from the Status Register
until another valid command is written. The Status
Register contents are latched on the falling edge of
OE#, CE
0
#, or CE
1
# whichever occurs last. OE# or
CE
X
# must toggle to V
IH
to update the Status
Register latch. The Read Status Register command
functions independently of the V
PP
voltage.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
Following a program, block erase, set block lock-bit,
or clear block lock-bits command sequence, only
SR.7 is valid until the Write State Machine
completes or suspends the operation. Device I/O
pins DQ
0-6
and DQ
8-15
are invalid. When the
operation completes or suspends (SR.7 = 1), all
contents of the Status Register are valid when read.
The eXtended Status Register (XSR) may be read
to determine Write Buffer availability (see Table 16).
The XSR may be read at any time by writing the
Write to Buffer command. After writing this
command, all subsequent read operations output
data from the XSR, until another valid command is
written. The contents of the XSR are latched on the
falling edge of OE# or CE
X
# whichever occurs last
in the read cycle. Write to buffer command must be
re-issued to update the XSR latch.
4.5
Clear Status Register
Command
Status Register bits SR.5, SR.4, SR.3, and SR.1
are set to "1"s by the WSM and can only be reset
by the Clear Status Register command. These bits
indicate various failure conditions (see Table 15).
By allowing system software to reset these bits,
several operations (such as cumulatively erasing or
locking multiple blocks or programming several
bytes/words in sequence) may be performed. The
Status Register may be polled to determine if an
error occurred during the sequence.
To clear the Status Register, the Clear Status
Register command is written. It functions
independently of the applied V
PP
voltage. This
command is not functional during block erase or
program suspend modes.
4.6
Block Erase Command
Block Erase is executed one block at a time and
initiated by a two-cycle command. A Block Erase
Setup command is written first, followed by a
Confirm command. This command sequence
requires appropriate sequencing and an address
within the block to be erased (erase changes all
block data to FFH). Block preconditioning, erase,
and verify are handled internally by the WSM
(invisible to the system). After the two-cycle block
erase sequence is written, the device automatically
outputs Status Register data when read (see Figure
10). The CPU can detect block erase completion by
analyzing STS in level RY/BY# mode or Status
Register bit SR.7. Toggle OE#, CE
0
#, or CE
1
# to
update the Status Register.
When the block erase is complete, Status Register
bit SR.5 should be checked. If a block erase error is
detected, the Status Register should be cleared
before system software attempts corrective actions.
The CUI remains in read Status Register mode until
a new command is issued.
This two-step command sequence of set-up
followed by execution ensures that block contents
are not accidentally erased. An invalid Block Erase
command sequence will result in both Status
Register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to "1." Also,
reliable block erasure can only occur when
V
CC
= V
CC1/2
and V
PP
= V
PPH1/2
. In the absence of
these voltages, block contents are protected
against erasure. If block erase is attempted while
V
PP
V
PPLK
, SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to "1."
Successful block erase requires that the
corresponding block lock-bit be cleared, or WP# =
V
IH
. If block erase is attempted when the
corresponding block lock-bit is set and WP# = V
IL,
the block erase will fail and SR.1 and SR.5 will be
set to "1."
4.7
Full Chip Erase Command
The Full Chip Erase command followed by a
Confirm command erases all unlocked blocks. After
the Confirm command is written, the device erases
all unlocked blocks from block 0 to block 31 (or 63)
sequentially. Block preconditioning, erase, and
verify are handled internally by the WSM. After the
Full Chip Erase command sequence is written to
the CUI, the device automatically outputs the Status
Register data when read. The CPU can detect full
chip erase completion by polling the STS pin in
level RY/BY# mode or Status Register bit SR.7.
When the full chip erase is complete, Status
Register bit SR.5 should be checked to see if the
operation completed successfully. If an erase error
occurred, the Status Register should be cleared
before issuing the next command. The CUI remains
in read Status Register mode until a new command
is issued. If an error is detected while erasing a
block during a full chip erase operation, the WSM
skips the remaining cells in that block and proceeds
to erase the next block. Reading the block valid
status code by issuing the Read Identifier Codes
command or Query command informs the user of
which block(s) failed to erase.

4.8
Write to Buffer Command
To program the flash device via the write buffers, a
Write to Buffer command sequence is initiated. A
variable number of bytes or words, up to the buffer
size, can be written into the buffer and programmed
to the flash device. First, the Write to Buffer setup
command is issued along with the Block Address.
At this point, the eXtended Status Register
information is loaded and XSR.7 reverts to the
"buffer available" status. If XSR.7 = 0, no write
buffer is available. To retry, continue monitoring
XSR.7 by issuing the Write to Buffer setup
command with the Block Address until XSR.7 = 1.
When XSR.7 transitions to a "1," the buffer is ready
for loading.
Now a Word/Byte count is issued at an address
within the block. On the next write, a device start
address is given along with the write buffer data.
For maximum programming performance and lower
power, align the start address at the beginning of a
Write Buffer boundary. Subsequent writes must
supply additional device addresses and data,
depending on the count. All subsequent addresses
must lie within the start address plus the count.
After the final buffer data is given, a Write Confirm
command is issued. This initiates the WSM to begin
copying the buffer data to the flash memory. If a
command other than Write Confirm is written to the
device, an "Invalid Command/Sequence" error will
be generated and Status Register bits SR.5 and
SR.4 will be set to "1." For additional buffer writes,
issue another Write to Buffer setup command and
check XSR.7. The write buffers can be loaded while
the WSM is busy as long as XSR.7 indicates that a
buffer is available. Refer to Figure 7 for the Write to
Buffer flowchart.
If an error occurs while writing, the device will stop
programming, and Status Register bit SR.4 will be
set to a "1" to indicate a program failure. Any time a
media failure occurs during a program or an erase
(SR.4 or SR.5 is set), the device will not accept any
more Write to Buffer commands. Additionally, if the
user attempts to write past an erase block boundary
with a Write to Buffer command, the device will
abort programming. This will generate an "Invalid
Command/Sequence" error and Status Register bits
SR.5 and SR.4 will be set to "1." To clear SR.4
and/or SR.5, issue a Clear Status Register
command.
Reliable buffered programming can only occur
when V
CC
= V
CC1/2
and V
PP
= V
PPH1/2
. If
programming is attempted while V
PP
V
PPLK
,
Status Register bits SR.4 and SR.5 will be set to
"1." Programming attempts with invalid V
CC
and V
PP
voltages produce spurious results and should not
be attempted. Finally, successful programming
requires that the corresponding Block Lock-Bit be
cleared, or WP# = V
IH
. If a buffered write is
attempted when the corresponding Block Lock-Bit
is set and WP# = V
IL
, SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to
"1."
4.9
Byte/Word Program Commands
Byte/Word programming is executed by a two-cycle
command sequence. Byte/Word Program setup
(standard 40H or alternate 10H) is written, followed
by a second write that specifies the address and
data (latched on the rising edge of WE#). The WSM
then takes over, controlling the program and verify
algorithms internally. After the write sequence is
written, the device automatically outputs Status
Register data when read. The CPU can detect the
completion of the program event by analyzing STS
in level RY/BY# mode or Status Register bit SR.7.
When programming is complete, Status Register bit
SR.4 should be checked. If a programming error is
detected, the Status Register should be cleared.
The internal WSM verify only detects errors for "1"s
that do not successfully program to "0"s. The CUI
remains in read Status Register mode until it
receives another command. Refer to Figure 8 for
the Word/Byte Program flowchart.
Also, Reliable byte/word programming can only
occur when V
CC
= V
CC1/2
and V
PP
= V
PPH1/2
.
In the
absence of this high voltage, contents are protected
against programming.

IL
,
SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to "1."
4.10
STS Configuration Command
The Status (STS) pin can be configured to different
states using the STS pin Configuration command.
Once the STS pin has been configured, it remains
in that configuration until another configuration
command is issued or RP# is low. Initially, the STS
pin defaults to level RY/BY# operation where STS
low indicates that the state machine is busy. STS
high indicates that the state machine is ready for a
new operation or suspended.
To reconfigure the Status (STS) pin to other modes,
the STS pin Configuration command is issued
followed by the desired configuration code. The
three alternate configurations are all pulse mode for
use as a system interrupt as described in Table 14.
For these configurations, bit 0 controls Erase
Complete interrupt pulse, and bit 1 controls Write
Complete interrupt pulse. When the device is
configured in one of the pulse modes, the STS pin
pulses low with a typical pulse width of 250 ns.
Supplying the 00h configuration code with the
Configuration command resets the STS pin to the
default RY/BY# level mode. Refer to Table 14 for
configuration coding definitions. The Configuration
command may only be given when the device is not
busy or suspended. Check SR.7 for device status.
An invalid configuration code will result in both
Status Register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to "1."
4.11
Block Erase Suspend
Command
The Block Erase Suspend command allows
block-erase interruption to read or program data in
another block of memory. Once the block erase
process starts, writing the Block Erase Suspend
command requests that the WSM suspend the
block erase sequence at a predetermined point in
the algorithm. The device outputs Status Register
data when read after the Block Erase Suspend
command is written. Polling Status Register bit
SR.7 can determine when the block erase operation
has been suspended. When SR.7 = 1, SR.6 should
also be set to "1," indicating that the device is in the
erase suspend mode. STS in level RY/BY# mode
will also transition to V
OH
. Specification t
WHRH2
defines the block erase suspend latency.
At this point, a Read Array command can be written
to read data from blocks other than that which is
suspended. A Program command sequence can
also be issued during erase suspend to program
data in other blocks. Using the Program Suspend
command (see Section 4.12), a program operation
can also be suspended. During a program operation
with block erase suspended, Status Register bit
SR.7 will return to "0" and STS in RY/BY# mode will
transition to V
OL
. However, SR.6 will remain "1" to
indicate block erase suspend status.
The only other valid commands while block erase is
suspended are Read Status Register and Block
Erase Resume. After a Block Erase Resume
command is written to the flash memory, the WSM
will continue the block erase process. Status
register bits SR.6 and SR.7 will automatically clear
and STS in RY/BY# mode will return to V
OL
. After
the Erase Resume command is written, the device
automatically outputs Status Register data when
read (see Figure 11). V
PP
must remain at V
PPH1/2
and V
CC
must remain at V
CC1/2
(the same V
PP
and
V
CC
levels used for block erase) while block erase
is suspended. RP# must also remain at V
IH
(the
same RP# level used for block erase). Block erase
cannot resume until program operations initiated
during block erase suspend have completed.
4.12
Program Suspend Command
The Program Suspend command allows program
interruption to read data in other flash memory
locations. Once the programming process starts,
writing the Program Suspend command requests
that the WSM suspend the program sequence at a
predetermined point in the algorithm. The device
continues to output Status Register data when read
after the Program Suspend command is written.
Polling Status Register bits SR.7 can determine
when the programming operation has been
suspended. When SR.7 = 1, SR.2 should also be
set to "1", indicating that the device is in the
program suspend mode. STS in level RY/BY#
mode will also transition to V
OH
. Specification
t
WHRH1
defines the program suspend latency.
E
28F160S3, 28F320S3
29
ADVANCE INFORMATION
At this point, a Read Array command can be written
to read data from locations other than that which is
suspended. The only other valid commands while
programming is suspended are Read Status
Register and Program Resume. After a Program
Resume command is written, the WSM will
continue the programming process. Status Register
bits SR.2 and SR.7 will automatically clear and STS
in RY/BY# mode will return to V
OL
. After the
Program Resume command is written, the device
automatically outputs Status Register data when
read. V
PP
must remain at V
PPH1/2
and V
CC
must
remain at V
CC1/2
(the same V
PP
and
V
CC
levels used
for programming) while in program suspend mode.
RP# must also remain at V
IH
(the same RP# level
used for programming). Refer to Figure 9 for the
Program Suspend/Resume flowchart.
4.13
Set Block Lock-Bit Command
A flexible block locking and unlocking scheme is
enabled via a combination of block lock-bits. The
block lock-bits gate program and erase operations.
With WP# = V
IH
, individual block lock-bits can be
set using the Set Block Lock-Bit command.
Set block lock-bit is initiated using a two-cycle
command sequence. The Set Block Lock-Bit setup
along with appropriate block or device address is
written followed by the Set Block Lock-Bit Confirm
and an address within the block to be locked.
The
WSM then controls the set lock-bit algorithm. After
the sequence is written, the device automatically
outputs Status Register data when read. The CPU
can detect the completion of the set lock-bit event
by analyzing STS in level RY/BY# mode
or Status
Register bit SR.7.
When the set lock-bit operation is complete, Status
Register bit SR.4 should be checked. If an error is
detected, the Status Register should be cleared.
The CUI will remain in read Status Register mode
until a new command is issued.
This two-step sequence of setup followed by
execution ensures that lock-bits are not accidentally
set. An invalid Set Block Lock-Bit command will
result in Status Register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being
set to "1." Also, reliable operations occur only when
V
CC
= V
CC1/2
and V
PP
= V
PPH1/2
. In the absence of
these voltages, lock-bit contents are protected
against alteration.
A successful set block lock-bit operation requires
that WP# = V
IH
. If it is attempted with WP# = V
IL
,
the operation will fail and SR.1 and SR.4 will be set
to "1." See Table 13 for write protection alternatives.
Refer to Figure 12 for the Set Block Lock-Bit
flowchart.
4.14
Clear Block Lock-Bits
Command
All set block lock-bits are cleared in parallel via the
Clear Block Lock-Bits command. This command is
valid only when WP# = V
IH
.
The clear block lock-bits operation is initiated using
a two-cycle command sequence. A Clear Block
Lock-Bits setup command is written followed by a
Confirm command. Then, the device automatically
outputs Status Register data when read (see Figure
13). The CPU can detect completion of the clear
block lock-bits event by analyzing STS in level
RY/BY# mode or Status Register bit SR.7.
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by
execution ensures that block lock-bits are not
accidentally cleared. An invalid Clear Block
Lock-Bits command sequence will result in Status
Register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to "1." Also,
a reliable clear block lock-bits operation can only
occur when V
CC
= V
CC1/2
and V
PP
= V
PPH1/2
. If a
clear block lock-bits operation is attempted while
V
PP
V
PPLK
, SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to "1." In the
absence of these voltages, the block lock-bits
contents are protected against alteration. A
successful clear block lock-bits operation requires
that WP# = V
IH
.
If a clear block lock-bits operation is aborted due to
V
PP
or V
CC
transitioning out of valid range or RP# or
WP# active transition, block lock-bit values are left
in an undetermined state. A repeat of clear block
lock-bits is required to initialize block lock-bit
contents to known values.
When the operation is complete, Status Register bit
SR.5 should be checked. If a clear block lock-bit
error is detected, the Status Register should be
cleared. The CUI will remain in read Status Register
mode until another command is issued.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
5.1
Three-Line Output Control
Intel provides three control inputs to accommodate
multiple memory connections: CE
X
# (CE
0
#, CE
1
#),
OE#, and RP#. Three-line control provides for:
a.
Lowest possible memory power dissipation;
b.
Data bus contention avoidance.
To use these control inputs efficiently, an address
decoder should enable CEx# while OE# should be
connected to all memory devices and the system's
READ# control line. This assures that only selected
memory devices have active outputs, while de-
selected memory devices are in standby mode.
RP# should be connected to the system
POWERGOOD signal to prevent unintended writes
during system power transitions. POWERGOOD
should also toggle during system reset.
5.2
STS and WSM Polling
STS is an open drain output that should be
connected to V
CC
by a pull-up resistor to provide a
hardware form of detecting block erase, program,
and lock-bit configuration completion. In default
mode, it transitions low during execution of these
commands and returns to V
OH
when the WSM has
finished executing the internal algorithm. For
alternate STS pin configurations, see Section 4.10.
STS can be connected to an interrupt input of the
system CPU or controller. It is active at all times.
STS, in default mode, is also V
OH
when the device
is in block erase suspend (with programming
inactive) or in reset/power-down mode.
5.3
Power Supply Decoupling
Flash memory power switching characteristics
require careful device decoupling. Standby current
levels, active current levels and transient peaks
produced by falling and rising edges of CE
X
# and
OE# are areas of interest. Two-line control and
proper decoupling capacitor selection will suppress
transient voltage peaks. Each device should have a
0.1 F ceramic capacitor connected between its
V
CC
and GND and V
PP
and GND. These high-
frequency, low-inductance capacitors should be
placed as close as possible to package leads.
Additionally, for every eight devices, a 4.7 F
electrolytic capacitor should be placed at the array's
power supply connection between V
CC
and GND.
The bulk capacitor will overcome voltage slumps
caused by PC board trace inductance.
5.4
V
PP
Trace on Printed Circuit
Boards
Updating target-system resident flash memories
requires that the printed circuit board designer pay
attention to V
PP
power supply traces. The V
PP
pin
supplies the memory cell current for programming
and block erasing. Use similar trace widths and
layout considerations given to the V
CC
power bus.
Adequate V
PP
supply traces and decoupling will
decrease V
PP
voltage spikes and overshoots.
5.5
V
CC
, V
PP
, RP# Transitions
Block erase, program, and lock-bit configuration are
not guaranteed if RP#
V
IH,
or if V
PP
or V
CC
fall
outside of a valid voltage range (V
CC1/2
and
V
PPH1/2
). If V
PP
error is detected, Status Register bit
SR.3 and SR.4 or SR.5 are set to "1." If RP#
transitions to V
IL
during block erase, program, or
lock-bit configuration, STS in level RY/BY# mode
will remain low until the reset operation is complete.
Then, the operation will abort and the device will
enter deep power-down. Because the aborted
operation may leave data partially altered, the
command sequence must be repeated after normal
operation is restored.
5.6
Power-Up/Down Protection
The device offers protection against accidental
block erase, programming, or lock-bit configuration
during power transitions.
A system designer must guard against spurious
writes for V
CC
voltages above V
LKO
when V
PP
is
active. Since both WE# and CE
X
# must be low for a
command write, driving either input signal to V
IH
will
inhibit writes. The CUI's two-step command
sequence architecture provides an added level of
protection against data alteration.
In-system block lock and unlock renders additional
protection during power-up by prohibiting block
erase and program operations. RP# = V
IL
disables
the device regardless of its control inputs states.
