INTRODUCTION
Sharp's LH28F004SU-LC 4M Flash Memory is a
revolutionary architecture which enables the design of
truly mobile, high performance, personal computing and
communication products. With innovative capabilities.
3.3 V low power operation and very high read/write per-
formance, the LH28F004SU-LC is also the ideal choice
for designing embedded mass storage flash memory
systems.
The LH28F004SU-LC's independently lockable 32
symmectrical blocked architecture (16K each) extended
cycling, low power operation, very fast write and read
performance and selective block locking provide a highly
flexible memory component suitable for cellular phone,
facsmilie, game, PC, printer and handy terminal. The
LH28F004SU-LC's 5.0 V/3.3 V power supply operation
enables the design of memory cards which can be read
in 3.3 V system and written in 5.0 V/3.3 V systems. Its
x8 architecture allows the optimization of memory to
processor interface. The flexible block locking option
enables bundling of executable application software in
a Resident Flash Array or memory card. Manufactured
on Sharp's 0.55 m ETOXTM process technology, the
LH28F004SU-LC is the most cost-effective, high-
density 3.3 V flash memory.
DESCRIPTION
The LH28F004SU-LC is a high performance 4M
(4,194,304 bit) block erasable non-volatile random
access memor y organized as 512K 8. The
LH28F004SU-LC includes thirty-two 16K (16,384)
blocks. A chip memory map is shown in Figure 3.
The implementation of a new architecture, with many
enhanced features, will improve the device operating
characteristics and results in greater product reliability
and ease of use.
Among the significant enhancements of the
LH28F004SU-LC:
3 V Read, 5 V Write/Erase Operation
(5 V V
PP
, 3 V V
CC
)
Low Power Capability (2.7 V V
CC
Read)
Improved Write Performance
Dedicated Block Write/Erase Protection
Command-Controlled Memory Protection
Set/Reset Capability
The LH28F004SU-LC will be available in a 40-pin,
1.2 mm thick 10 mm 20 mm TSOP (Type I) pack-
age. This form factor and pinout allow for very high board
layout densities.
A Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the
system Interface between the microprocessor or
microcontroller and the internal memory operation.
Internal Algorithm Automation allows Byte Writes and
Block Erase operations to be executed using a Two-
Write command sequence to the CUI in the same way
as the LH28F008SA 8M Flash memory.
A Superset of commands have been added to the
basic LH28F008SA command-set to achieve higher
write performance and provide additional capabilities.
These new commands and features include:
Software Locking of Memory Blocks
Memory Protection Set/Reset Capability
Two-Byte Serial Writes in 8-bit Systems
Erase All Unlocked Blocks
Writing of memory data is performed typically within
20 s. A Block Erase operation erases one of the 32
blocks in typically 0.8 seconds, independent of the other
blocks.
LH28F004SU-LC allows to erase all unlocked blocks.
It is desirable in case you have to implement Erase
operation maximum 32 times.
LH28F004SU-LC enables Two-Byte serial Write
which is operated by three times command input. Writ-
ing of memory data is performed typically within 30 s
per two-byte. This feature can improve system write per-
formance by up to typically 15 s per byte.
All operations are started by a sequence of Write
commands to the device. Status Register (described in
detail later) and a RY
/BY
output pin provide informa-
tion on the progress of the requested operation.
Same as the LH28F008SA, LH28F004SU-LC
requires an operation to complete before the next
operation can be requested, also it allows to suspend
block erase to read data from any other block, and
allow to resume erase operation.
The LH28F004SU-LC provides user-selectable block
locking to protect code or data such as Device Drivers,
PCMCIA card information, ROM-Executable OS or
Application Code. Each block has an associated non-
volatile lock-bit which determines the lock status of the
block. In addition, the LH28F004SU-LC has a software
controlled master Write Protect circuit which prevents
any modifications to memory blocks whose lock-bits
are set.

MEMORY MAP
When the device power-up or RP
turns High, Write
Protect Set/Confirm command must be written. Other-
wise, all lock bits in the device remain being locked,
can't perform the Write to each block and single Block
Erase. Write Protect Set/Confirm command must be
written to reflect the actual lock status. However, when
the device power-on or RP
turns High, Erase All Un-
locked Blocks can be used. If used, Erase is performed
with reflecting actual lock status, and after that Write
and Block Erase can be used.
The LH28F004SU-LC contains a Compatible Status
Register (CSR) which is 100% compatible with the
LH28F008SA Flash memory's Status Register. This
register, when used alone, provides a straightforward
upgrade capability to the LH28F004SU-LC from a
LH28F008SA-based design.
The LH28F004SU-LC incorporates an open drain
RY
/BY
output pin. This feature allows the user to OR-
tie many RY
/BY
pins together in a multiple memory con-
figuration such as a Resident Flash Array.
The LH28F004SU-LC is specified for a maximum
access time of 120 ns (t
ACC
) at 3.3 V operation (3.0 to
3.6 V) over the commercial temperature range (0 to
+70C). A corresponding maximum access time of
160 ns (t
ACC
) at 2.7 V (0 to +70C) is achieved for
reduced power consumption applications.
The LH28F004SU-LC incorporates an Automatic
Power Saving (APS) feature which substantially reduces
the active current when the device is in static mode of
operation (addresses not switching).
In APS mode, the typical I
CC
current is 1 mA at 3.3 V.
A Deep Power-Down mode of operation is invoked
when the RP
(called PWD on the LH28F008SA) pin
transitions low, any current operation is aborted and the
device is put into the deep power down mode. This mode
brings the device power consumption to less than 5 A,
and provides additional write protection by acting as a
device reset pin during power transitions. When the
power is turned on. RP
pin is turned to low in order to
return the device to default configuration. When the
power transition is occurred, or at the power on/off, RP
is required to stay low in order to protect data from noise.
A recovery time of 620 ns is required from RP
switch-
ing high until outputs are again valid. In the Deep Power-
Down state, the WSM is reset (any current operations
will abort) and the CSR register is cleared.
A CMOS Standby mode of operation is enabled when
CE
transitions high and RP
stays high with all input
control pins a CMOS levels. In this mode, the device
draws an I
CC
standby current of 8 A.
