General Description
The S29AL016M is a 16 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only Flash memory organized as 2,097,152
bytes or 1,048,576 words. The device is offered in a 48-ball Fine-pitch BGA, 64-
ball Fortified BGA, and 48-pin TSOP packages. The word-wide data (x16) appears
on DQ15DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7DQ0. The device re-
quires only a single 3.0 volt power supply for both read and write functions,
designed to be programmed in-system with the standard system 3.0 volt V
CC
sup-
ply. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The device offers access times of 90 and 100 ns. To eliminate bus contention the
device has separate chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and output enable
(OE#) controls.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the JEDEC single-power-
supply Flash standard
. Commands are written to the device using standard
microprocessor write timing. Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data
needed for the programming and erase operations.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be erased and repro-
grammed without affecting the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Device programming and erasure are initiated through command sequences.
Once a program or erase operation has begun, the host system need only poll
the DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6 (toggle) status bits or monitor the Ready/
Busy# (RY/BY#)
output to determine whether the operation is complete. To
facilitate programming, an Unlock Bypass mode reduces command sequence
overhead by requiring only two write cycles to program data instead of four.
Hardware data protection measures include a low V
CC
detector that automati-
cally inhibits write operations during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase operations in any combina-
tion of sectors of memory. This can be achieved in-system or via programming
equipment.
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume feature allows the host system to pause an
erase operation in a given sector to read or program any other sector and then
complete the erase operation. The Program Suspend/Program Resume fea-
ture enables the host system to pause a program operation in a given sector to
read any other sector and then complete the program operation.
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation in progress and resets the
device, after which it is then ready for a new operation. The RESET# pin may be
tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the de-
vice, enabling the host system to read boot-up firmware from the Flash memory
device.
The device reduces power consumption in the standby mode when it detects
specific voltage levels on CE# and RESET#, or when addresses have been stable
for a specified period of time.
The SecSiTM (Secured Silicon) Sector provides a 128-word/256-byte area for
code or data that can be permanently protected. Once this sector is protected, no
further changes within the sector can occur.
MirrorBit flash technology combines years of Flash memory manufacturing expe-
rience to produce the highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effectiveness.
The device electrically erases all bits within a sector simultaneously via hot-hole
assisted erase. The data is programmed using hot electron injection.

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 com-
posed 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. Table
1
lists the device bus operations, the inputs and con-
trol levels they require, and the resulting output. The following subsections
describe each of these operations in further detail.

Notes:

IH
), A19:A-1 in byte mode (BYTE# = V
IL
).
2. The sector protect and sector unprotect functions may also be implemented via programming equipment. See the "Sector
Protection/Unprotection" section.
Word/Byte Configuration
The BYTE# pin controls whether the device data I/O pins DQ15DQ0 operate in
the byte or word configuration. If the BYTE# pin is set at logic `1', the device is in
word configuration, DQ15DQ0 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#.
If the BYTE# pin is set at logic `0', the device is in byte configuration, and only
data I/O pins DQ0DQ7 are active and controlled by CE# and OE#. The data I/
O pins DQ8DQ14 are tri-stated, and the DQ15 pin is used as an input for the
LSB (A-1) address function.
Requirements for Reading Array Data
To read array data from the outputs, the system must drive the CE# and OE# pins
to V
IL
. CE# is the power control and selects the device. OE# is the output control
and gates array data to the output pins. WE# should remain at V
IH
. The BYTE#
pin determines whether the device outputs array data in words or bytes.

The internal state machine is set for reading array data upon device power-up,
or after a hardware reset. This ensures that no spurious alteration of the mem-
ory content occurs during the power transition. No command is necessary in
this mode to obtain array data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that as-
sert valid addresses on the device address inputs produce valid data on the
device data outputs. The device remains enabled for read access until the com-
mand register contents are altered.
See
"Reading Array Data"
for more information. Refer to the AC
Read Operations
table for timing specifications and to
Figure 13
for the timing diagram. I
CC1
in the
DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for reading
array data.
Writing Commands/Command Sequences
To write a command or command sequence (which includes programming data
to the device and erasing sectors of memory), the system must drive WE# and
CE# to V
IL
, and OE# to V
IH
.
For program operations, the BYTE# pin determines whether the device accepts
program data in bytes or words. Refer to
"Word Configuration"
for more
information.
The device features an Unlock Bypass mode to facilitate faster programming.
Once the device enters the Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles are re-
quired to program a word or byte, instead of four. The
"Word Program Command
Sequence"
section has details on programming data to the device using both
standard and Unlock Bypass command sequences.
An erase operation can erase one sector, multiple sectors, or the entire device.
Tables 2 and 3 indicate the address space that each sector occupies. A "sector
address" consists of the address bits required to uniquely select a sector. The
"Command Definitions"
section has details on erasing a sector or the entire chip,
or suspending/resuming the erase operation.
After the system writes the autoselect command sequence, the device enters the
autoselect mode. The system can then read autoselect codes from the internal
register (which is separate from the memory array) on DQ7DQ0. Standard read
cycle timings apply in this mode. Refer to the
"Autoselect Mode"
and
"Autoselect
Command Sequence"
sections for more information.
I
CC2
in the DC Characteristics table represents the active current specification for
the write mode. The
"AC Characteristics"
section contains timing specification ta-
bles and timing diagrams for write operations.
Program and Erase Operation Status
During an erase or program operation, the system may check the status of the
operation by reading the status bits on DQ7DQ0. Standard read cycle timings
and I
CC
read specifications apply. Refer to
"Write Operation Status"
for more in-
formation, and to
"AC Characteristics"
for timing diagrams.
Standby Mode
When the system is not reading or writing to the device, it can place the device
in the standby mode. In this mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and
the outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE#
input.

The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the CE# and RESET# pins are
both held at V
CC
0.3 V. (Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
V
IH
.) If CE# and RESET# are held at V
IH
, but not within V
CC
0.3 V, the device
will be in the standby mode, but the standby current will be greater. The device
requires standard access time (t
CE
) for read access when the device is in either
of these standby modes, before it is ready to read data.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming, the device draws ac-
tive current until the operation is completed.
In the
DC Characteristics
table, I
CC3
and I
CC4
represents the standby current
specification.
Automatic Sleep Mode
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device energy consumption. The
device automatically enables this mode when addresses remain stable for t
ACC
+
30 ns. The automatic sleep mode is independent of the CE#, WE#, and OE#
control signals. Standard address access timings provide new data when
addresses are changed. While in sleep mode, output data is latched and always
available to the system. I
CC4
in the
DC Characteristics
table represents the
automatic sleep mode current specification.
RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to reading
array data. When the system drives the RESET# pin to V
IL
for at least a period of
t
RP
, the device immediately terminates any operation in progress, tristates all
data output pins, and ignores all read/write attempts for the duration of the RE-
SET# pulse. The device also resets the internal state machine to reading array
data. The operation that was interrupted should be reinitiated once the device is
ready to accept another command sequence, to ensure data integrity.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET# pulse. When RESET# is held
at V
SS
0.3 V, the device draws CMOS standby current (I
CC4
). If RESET# is held
at V
IL
but not within V
SS
0.3 V, the standby current will be greater.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would
thus also reset the Flash memory, enabling the system to read the boot-up firm-
ware from the Flash memory.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase operation, the RY/BY# pin re-
mains a "0" (busy) until the internal reset operation is complete, which requires
a time of t
READY
(during Embedded Algorithms). The system can thus monitor
RY/BY# to determine whether the reset operation is complete. If RESET# is as-
serted when a program or erase operation is not executing (RY/BY# pin is "1"),
the reset operation is completed within a time of t
READY
(not during Embedded
Algorithms). The system can read data t
RH
after the RESET# pin returns to V
IH
.
Refer to the
AC Characteristics
tables for RESET# parameters and to
Figure 14
for the timing diagram.
Output Disable Mode
When the OE# input is at V
IH
, output from the device is disabled. The output pins
are placed in the high impedance state.

to be programmed with its corresponding programming algorithm. However, the
autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system through the command register.
When using programming equipment, the autoselect mode requires V
ID
(11.5 V
to 12.5 V) on address pin A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in
Table
4
. In addition, when verifying sector protection, the sector address must
appear on the appropriate highest order address bits (see Tables
2
and
3
). Table
4
shows the remaining address bits that are don't care. When all necessary bits
have been set as required, the programming equipment may then read the cor-
responding identifier code on DQ7-DQ0.
To access the autoselect codes in-system, the host system can issue the autose-
lect command via the command register, as shown in Tables
10
11
. This method
does not require V
ID
. See
"Command Definitions"
for details on using the autose-
lect mode.
Table 4. Autoselect Codes (High Voltage Method)

Note: The autoselect codes may also be accessed in-system via command sequences. See Tables

.
Sector Protection/Unprotection
The hardware sector protection feature disables both program and erase opera-
tions in any sector. The hardware sector unprotection feature re-enables both
program and erase operations in previously protected sectors.
The device is normally shipped with all sectors unprotected. However, the Ex-
pressFlashTM Service offers the option of programming and protecting sectors at
the factory prior to shipping the device. Contact a sales office or representative
for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected or unprotected. See
"Au-
toselect Mode"
for details.

Sector protection and unprotection requires V
ID
on the RESET# pin only, and can
be implemented either in-system or via programming equipment.
Figure 2
shows
the algorithms and
Figure 23
shows the timing diagram. This method uses stan-
dard microprocessor bus cycle timing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected
sectors must first be protected prior to the first sector unprotect write cycle.
Temporary Sector Unprotect
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previously protected sectors to
change data in-system. The Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the
RESET# pin to V
ID
. During this mode, formerly protected sectors can be pro-
grammed or erased by selecting the sector addresses. Once V
ID
is removed from
the RESET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are protected again.
Figure
shows the algorithm, and
Figure 22
shows the timing diagrams, for this feature.
Notes:
1. All protected sectors unprotected.
2. All previously protected sectors are protected once again.

SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Flash Memory Region
The SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector feature provides a Flash memory region that
enables permanent part identification through an Electronic Serial Number
(ESN). The SecSi Sector is 256 bytes in length, and uses a SecSi Sector Indica-
tor Bit (DQ7) to indicate whether or not the SecSi Sector is locked when shipped
from the factory. This bit is permanently set at the factory and cannot be
changed, which prevents cloning of a factory locked part. This ensures the secu-
rity of the ESN once the product is shipped to the field.
The device is offered with the SecSi Sector either customer lockable (standard
shipping option) or factory locked (contact a sales office or representative for or-
dering information). The customer-lockable version is shipped with the SecSi
Sector unprotected, allowing customers to program the sector after receiving
the device. The customer-lockable version also has the SecSi Sector Indicator
Bit permanently set to a "0." The factory-locked version is always protected
when shipped from the factory, and has the SecSi (Secured Silicon) Sector Indi-
cator Bit permanently set to a "1." Thus, the SecSi Sector Indicator Bit prevents
customer-lockable devices from being used to replace devices that are factory
locked. Note that the ACC function and unlock bypass modes are not available
when the SecSi Sector is enabled.
The SecSi sector address space in this device is allocated as follows:
Table 5. SecSi Sector Addressing
The system accesses the SecSi Sector through a command sequence (see "En-
ter SecSi Sector/Exit SecSi Sector Command Sequence"). After the system has
written the Enter SecSi Sector command sequence, it may read the SecSi Sector
by using the addresses normally occupied by the first sector (SA0). This mode of
operation continues until the system issues the Exit SecSi Sector command se-
quence, or until power is removed from the device. On power-up, or following a
hardware reset, the device reverts to sending commands to sector SA0.
Customer Lockable: SecSi Sector NOT Programmed or Protected
At the Factory
Unless otherwise specified, the device is shipped such that the customer may
program and protect the 256-byte SecSi sector.
The system may program the SecSi Sector using the write-buffer, accelerated
and/or unlock bypass methods, in addition to the standard programming com-
mand sequence. See Command Definitions.
Programming and protecting the SecSi Sector must be used with caution since,
once protected, there is no procedure available for unprotecting the SecSi Sec-
tor area and none of the bits in the SecSi Sector memory space can be modified
in any way.
The SecSi Sector area can be protected using one of the following procedures:
Write the three-cycle Enter SecSi Sector Region command sequence, and
then follow the in-system sector protect algorithm as shown in Figure 2, ex-

tion of the SecSi Sector without raising any device pin to a high voltage. Note
that this method is only applicable to the SecSi Sector.
To verify the protect/unprotect status of the SecSi Sector, follow the algo-
rithm shown in Figure 3.
Once the SecSi Sector is programmed, locked and verified, the system must
write the Exit SecSi Sector Region command sequence to return to reading and
writing within the remainder of the array.
Factory Locked: SecSi Sector Programmed and Protected At the
Factory
In devices with an ESN, the SecSi Sector is protected when the device is shipped
from the factory. The SecSi Sector cannot be modified in any way. An ESN Fac-
tory Locked device has a 16-byte random ESN at addresses 0F8000h0F8007h.
Please contact your local sales office or representative for details on ordering ESN
Factory Locked devices.
Customers may opt to have their code programmed by the manufacturer
through the ExpressFlash service (Express Flash Factory Locked). The devices
are then shipped from the factory with the SecSi Sector permanently locked.
Contact an sales office or representative for details on using the ExpressFlash
service.

Hardware Data Protection
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles for programming or erasing
provides data protection against inadvertent writes (refer to Tables
10
11
for
command definitions). In addition, the following hardware data protection mea-
sures prevent accidental erasure or programming, which might otherwise be
caused by spurious system level signals during V
CC
power-up and power-down
transitions, or from system noise.
Low V
CC
Write Inhibit
When V
CC
is less than V
LKO
, the device does not accept any write cycles. This pro-
tects data during V
CC
power-up and power-down. The command register and all
internal program/erase circuits are disabled, and the device resets. Subsequent
writes are ignored until V
CC
is greater than V
LKO
. The system must provide the
proper signals to the control pins to prevent unintentional writes when V
CC
is
greater than V
LKO
.
Write Pulse "Glitch" Protection
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or WE# do not initiate a write
cycle.

Logical Inhibit
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# = V
IL
, CE# = V
IH
or WE# =
V
IH
. To initiate a write cycle, CE# and WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a
logical one.
Power-Up Write Inhibit
If WE# = CE# = V
IL
and OE# = V
IH
during power up, the device does not accept
commands on the rising edge of WE#. The internal state machine is automatically
reset to reading array data on power-up.
Command Definitions
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command
register initiates device operations. Tables
10
11
define the valid register com-
mand sequences. Note that writing incorrect address and data values or writing
them in the improper sequence may place the device in an unknown state. A
reset command is then required to set the device for the next operation.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens
later. All data is latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens
first. Refer to the appropriate timing diagrams in the
"AC Characteristics"
section.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data after device power-up. No
commands are required to retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array
data after completing an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the device enters the
Erase Suspend mode. The system can read array data using the standard read
timings, except that if it reads at an address within erase-suspended sectors,
the device outputs status data. After completing a programming operation in
the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once again read array data with the
same exception. See
"Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands"
for more in-
formation on this mode.
The system must issue the reset command to re-enable the device for reading
array data if DQ5 goes high, or while in the autoselect mode. See the
"Reset Com-
mand"
section, next.
See also
"Requirements for Reading Array Data"
in the
"Device Bus Operations"
section for more information. The
Read Operations
table provides the read pa-
rameters, and
Figure 13
shows the timing diagram.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command to the device resets the device to reading array data.
Address bits are don't care for this command.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase
command sequence before erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array
data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the
operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in a program
command sequence before programming begins. This resets the device to read-
ing array data (also applies to programming in Erase Suspend mode). Once
programming begins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the op-
eration is complete.
25
S29AL016M
S29AL016M_00A4 April 21, 2004
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an autoselect
command sequence. Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must be
written to return to reading array data (also applies to autoselect during Erase
Suspend).
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation, writing the reset command
returns the device to reading array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).
Autoselect Command Sequence
The autoselect command sequence allows the host system to access the manu-
facturer and devices codes, and determine whether or not a sector is protected.
Tables
10
11
show the address and data requirements. This method is an alter-
native to that shown in Table
4
, which is intended for PROM programmers and
requires V
ID
on address bit A9.
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, fol-
lowed by the autoselect command. The device then enters the autoselect mode,
and the system may read at any address any number of times, without initiating
another command sequence.
A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufacturer code. A read cycle at
address XX01h returns the device code. A read cycle containing a sector address
(SA) and the address XX02h in word mode (or XX04h in byte mode) returns
XX01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to Tables
2
and
3
for valid sector addresses.
The system must write the reset command to exit the autoselect mode and return
to reading array data.
Word/Byte Program Command Sequence
The system may program the device by word or byte, depending on the state
of the BYTE# pin. Programming is a four-bus-cycle operation. The program
command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock write cycles, followed by
the program set-up command. The program address and data are written next,
which in turn initiate the Embedded Program algorithm. The system is not re-
quired to provide further controls or timings. The device automatically
generates the program pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin. Tables
10
11
show the address and data requirements for the program command se-
quence. Note that the SecSi Sector, autoselect, and CFI functions are
unavailable when a program operation is in progress.
When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device then returns to
reading array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can deter-
mine the status of the program operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See
"Write Operation Status"
for information on these status bits.
Any commands written to the device during the Embedded Program Algorithm
are ignored. Note that a hardware reset immediately terminates the program-
ming operation. The Program command sequence should be reinitiated once the
device has reset to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across sector boundaries. Program-
ming to the same address multiple times without intervening erases is limited.
For such application requirements, please contact your local Spansion represen-
tative. Any bit in a word or byte cannot be programmed from "0" back to a
"1".
Attempting to do so may halt the operation and set DQ5 to "1," or cause the
Data# Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was successful. However, a suc-
April 21, 2004 S29AL016M_00A4
S29AL016M
26
ceeding read will show that the data is still "0". Only erase operations can convert
a "0" to a "1".
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to program bytes or words to the
device faster than using the standard program command sequence. The unlock
bypass command sequence is initiated by first writing two unlock cycles. This is
followed by a third write cycle containing the unlock bypass command, 20h. The
device then enters the unlock bypass mode. A two-cycle unlock bypass program
command sequence is all that is required to program in this mode. The first cycle
in this sequence contains the unlock bypass program command, A0h; the second
cycle contains the program address and data. Additional data is programmed in
the same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial two unlock cycles required
in the standard program command sequence, resulting in faster total program-
ming time. Tables
10
11
show the requirements for the command sequence.
During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock Bypass Program and Unlock By-
pass Reset commands are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system
must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset command sequence. The first cycle
must contain the data 90h; the second cycle the data 00h. Addresses are don't
care for both cycles. The device then returns to reading array data.

illustrates the algorithm for the program operation. See the
Erase/Pro-
gram Operations

for parameters, and to

for timing diagrams.

Notes: See Tables 10 and 11 for program command sequence.
Figure 4. Program Operation
Chip Erase Command Sequence
Chip erase is a six bus cycle operation. The chip erase command sequence is ini-
tiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two
additional unlock write cycles are then followed by the chip erase command,
which in turn invokes the Embedded Erase algorithm. The device does not require
the system to preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algorithm auto-
matically preprograms and verifies the entire memory for an all zero data pattern
prior to electrical erase. The system is not required to provide any controls or tim-
ings during these operations. Tables
10
11
show the address and data
requirements for the chip erase command sequence. Note that the SecSi Sector,
autoselect, and CFI functions are unavailable when an erase operation is in
progress.
Any commands written to the chip during the Embedded Erase algorithm are ig-
nored. Note that a hardware reset during the chip erase operation immediately
terminates the operation. The Chip Erase command sequence should be reiniti-
ated once the device has returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6,
DQ2, or RY/BY#. See
"Autoselect Command Sequence"
for information on these
status bits. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns
to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched.

Sector Erase Command Sequence
Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector erase command sequence is
initiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two addi-
tional unlock write cycles are then followed by the address of the sector to be
erased, and the sector erase command. Tables
10
11
show the address and data
requirements for the sector erase command sequence. Note that the SecSi Sec-
tor, autoselect, and CFI functions are unavailable when an erase operation is
in progress.
The device does not require the system to preprogram the memory prior to erase.
The Embedded Erase algorithm automatically programs and verifies the sector for
an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The system is not required to
provide any controls or timings during these operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase time-out of 50 s begins.
During the time-out period, additional sector addresses and sector erase com-
mands may be written. Loading the sector erase buffer may be done in any
sequence, and the number of sectors may be from one sector to all sectors. The
time between these additional cycles must be less than 50 s, otherwise the last
address and command might not be accepted, and erasure may begin. It is rec-
ommended that processor interrupts be disabled during this time to ensure all
commands are accepted. The interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector
Erase command is written. If the time between additional sector erase commands
can be assumed to be less than 50 s, the system need not monitor DQ3. Any
command other than Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during the time-out
period resets the device to reading array data.
The system must rewrite the
command sequence and any additional sector addresses and commands.
The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the sector erase timer has timed
out. (See the
"DQ3: Sector Erase Timer"
section.) The time-out begins from the
rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the Erase Suspend command is
valid. All other commands are ignored. Note that a hardware reset during the
sector erase operation immediately terminates the operation. The Sector Erase
command sequence should be reinitiated once the device has returned to reading
array data, to ensure data integrity.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns to reading
array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can determine the
status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY#. (Refer to
"Write Operation Status"
for information on these status bits.)
Figure 5
illustrates the algorithm for the erase operation. Refer to the
Erase/Pro-
gram Operations
tables in the
"AC Characteristics"
section for parameters, and to
Figure 18
for timing diagrams.
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands
The Erase Suspend command allows the system to interrupt a sector erase oper-
ation and then read data from, or program data to, any sector not selected for
erasure. This command is valid only during the sector erase operation, including
the 50 s time-out period during the sector erase command sequence. The Erase
29
S29AL016M
S29AL016M_00A4 April 21, 2004
Suspend command is ignored if written during the chip erase operation or Em-
bedded Program algorithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the
Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends
the erase operation. Addresses are "don't-cares" when writing the Erase Suspend
command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a sector erase operation, the
device requires a maximum of 20 s to suspend the erase operation. However,
when the Erase Suspend command is written during the sector erase time-out,
the device immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase
operation.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the system can read array data
from or program data to any sector not selected for erasure. (The device "erase
suspends" all sectors selected for erasure.) Normal read and write timings and
command definitions apply. Reading at any address within erase-suspended sec-
tors produces status data on DQ7DQ0. The system can use DQ7, or DQ6 and
DQ2 together, to determine if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended.
See
"Write Operation Status"
for information on these status bits.
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, the system can once
again read array data within non-suspended sectors. The system can determine
the status of the program operation using the DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just as in
the standard program operation. See
"Write Operation Status"
for more
information.
The system may also write the autoselect command sequence when the device
is in the Erase Suspend mode. The device allows reading autoselect codes even
at addresses within erasing sectors, since the codes are not stored in the memory
array. When the device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to the Erase
Suspend mode, and is ready for another valid operation. See
"Autoselect Com-
mand Sequence"
for more information.
The system must write the Erase Resume command (address bits are "don't
care") to exit the erase suspend mode and continue the sector erase operation.
Further writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another Erase Suspend
command can be written after the device has resumed erasing.
Note: During an erase operation, this flash device performs multiple internal op-
erations that are invisible to the system. When an erase operation is suspended,
any of the internal operations that were not fully completed must be restarted.
As such, if this flash device is continually issued suspend/resume commands in
rapid succession, erase progress will be impeded as a function of the number of
suspends. The result will be a longer cumulative erase time than without sus-
pends. Note that the additional suspends do not affect device reliability or future
performance. In most systems rapid erase/suspend activity occurs only briefly.
In such cases, erase performance will not be significantly impacted.

Figure 5. Erase Operation
Program Suspend/Program Resume Command Sequence
The Program Suspend command allows the system to interrupt a programming
operation so that data can be read from any non-suspended sector. When the
Program Suspend command is written during a programming process, the de-
vice halts the program operation within 15 s maximum (5 s typical) and
updates the status bits. Addresses are not required when writing the Program
Suspend command.
After the programming operation has been suspended, the system can read
array data from any non-suspended sector. The Program Suspend command
may also be issued during a programming operation while an erase is sus-
pended. In this case, data may be read from any addresses not in Erase
Suspend or Program Suspend. If a read is needed from the SecSi Sector area
(One-time Program area), then user must use the proper command sequences
to enter and exit this region.
The system may also write the autoselect command sequence when the device
is in the Program Suspend mode. The system can read as many autoselect
codes as required. When the device exits the autoselect mode, the device re-
verts to the Program Suspend mode, and is ready for another valid operation.
See Autoselect Command Sequence for more information.
After the Program Resume command is written, the device reverts to program-
ming. The system can determine the status of the program operation using the

Write Operation Status
The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation:
DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7, and RY/BY#. Table
12
and the following subsections
describe the functions of these bits. DQ7, RY/BY#, and DQ6 each offer a method
for determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or in progress.
These three bits are discussed first.
DQ7: Data# Polling
The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system whether an Embedded
Algorithm is in progress or completed, or whether the device is in Erase Suspend.
Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the program
or erase command sequence.
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs on DQ7 the com-
plement of the datum programmed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to
programming during Erase Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is
complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The system must
provide the program address to read valid status information on DQ7. If a pro-
gram address falls within a protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for
approximately 1 s, then the device returns to reading array data.
During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling produces a "0" on DQ7.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the
Erase Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a "1" on DQ7. This is analogous to
the complement/true datum output described for the Embedded Program algo-
rithm: the erase function changes all the bits in a sector to "1"; prior to this, the
device outputs the "complement," or "0." The system must provide an address
within any of the sectors selected for erasure to read valid status information on
DQ7.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing
are protected, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 100 s, then the
device returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the
Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the se-
lected sectors that are protected.
When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the complement to true data,
it can read valid data at DQ7DQ0 on the following read cycles. This is because
DQ7 may change asynchronously with DQ0DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is
asserted low.
Figure 19
, Data# Polling Timings (During Embedded Algorithms),
in the
"AC Characteristics"
section illustrates this.
Table
12
shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7.
Figure 7
shows the Data#
Polling algorithm.

S29AL016M
S29AL016M_00A4 April 21, 2004
Notes:
1. VA = Valid address for programming. During a sector erase operation, a valid
address is an address within any sector selected for erasure. During chip erase, a
valid address is any non-protected sector address.
2. DQ7 should be rechecked even if DQ5 = "1" because DQ7 may change simulta-
neously with DQ5.
Figure 7. Data# Polling Algorithm
RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#
The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that indicates whether an Em-
bedded Algorithm is in progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after the
rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence. Since RY/BY# is an
open-drain output, several RY/BY# pins can be tied together in parallel with a
pull-up resistor to V
CC

If the output is low (Busy), the device is actively erasing or programming. (This
includes programming in the Erase Suspend mode.) If the output is high (Ready),
the device is ready to read array data (including during the Erase Suspend
mode), or is in the standby mode.

for read, reset, program, and erase operations, respectively.
DQ6: Toggle Bit I
Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm
is in progress or complete, or whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend
mode. Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid after the rising edge
of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence (prior to the program or erase
operation), and during the sector erase time-out.
During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm operation, successive read cy-
cles to any address cause DQ6 to toggle. (The system may use either OE# or CE#
to control the read cycles.) When the operation is complete, DQ6 stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing
are protected, DQ6 toggles for approximately 100 s, then returns to reading
array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algo-
rithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are
protected.
The system can use DQ6 and DQ2 together to determine whether a sector is ac-
tively erasing or is erase-suspended. When the device is actively erasing (that is,
the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress), DQ6 toggles. When the device en-
ters the Erase Suspend mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system must
also use DQ2 to determine which sectors are erasing or erase-suspended. Alter-
natively, the system can use DQ7 (see the subsection on
"DQ7: Data# Polling"
).
If a program address falls within a protected sector, DQ6 toggles for approxi-
mately 1 s after the program command sequence is written, then returns to
reading array data.
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program mode, and stops toggling
once the Embedded Program algorithm is complete.
Table
12
shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6.
Figure 8
shows the toggle bit
algorithm in flowchart form, and the section
"Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2"
ex-
plains the algorithm.
Figure 20
in the
"AC Characteristics"
section shows the
toggle bit timing diagrams.
Figure 21
shows the differences between DQ2 and
DQ6 in graphical form. See also the subsection on
"DQ2: Toggle Bit II"
.
DQ2: Toggle Bit II
The "Toggle Bit II" on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indicates whether a particular
sector is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded Erase algorithm is in progress),
or whether that sector is erase-suspended. Toggle Bit II is valid after the rising
edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within those sectors that have
been selected for erasure. (The system may use either OE# or CE# to control the
read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish whether the sector is actively erasing or
is erase-suspended. DQ6, by comparison, indicates whether the device is actively
erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distinguish which sectors are selected
for erasure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and mode information.
Refer to Table
12
to compare outputs for DQ2 and DQ6.

Figure 21
shows the
differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form.
Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2
Refer to
Figure 8
for the following discussion. Whenever the system initially be-
gins reading toggle bit status, it must read DQ7DQ0 at least twice in a row to
determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the system would note
and store the value of the toggle bit after the first read. After the second read,
the system would compare the new value of the toggle bit with the first. If the
toggle bit is not toggling, the device has completed the program or erase op-
eration. The system can read array data on DQ7DQ0 on the following read
cycle.
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system determines that the toggle
bit is still toggling, the system also should note whether the value of DQ5 is high
(see the section on DQ5). If it is, the system should then determine again
whether the toggle bit is toggling, since the toggle bit may have stopped toggling
just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer toggling, the device has suc-
cessfully completed the program or erase operation. If it is still toggling, the
device did not complete the operation successfully, and the system must write
the reset command to return to reading array data.
The remaining scenario is that the system initially determines that the toggle bit
is toggling and DQ5 has not gone high. The system may continue to monitor the
toggle bit and DQ5 through successive read cycles, determining the status as de-
scribed in the previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to perform other
system tasks. In this case, the system must start at the beginning of the algo-
rithm when it returns to determine the status of the operation (top of
Figure 8
).

Figure 8. Toggle Bit Algorithm
Notes:
1. Read toggle bit twice to determine whether or not it is toggling. See text.
2. Recheck toggle bit because it may stop toggling as DQ5 changes to "1". See text.
DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits
DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has exceeded a specified inter-
nal pulse count limit. Under these conditions DQ5 produces a "1." This is a failure
condition that indicates the program or erase cycle was not successfully
completed.
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system tries to program a "1" to a
location that is previously programmed to "0." Only an erase operation can

change a "0" back to a "1." Under this condition, the device halts the opera-
tion, and when the operation has exceeded the timing limits, DQ5 produces a "1."
Under both these conditions, the system must issue the reset command to return
the device to reading array data.
DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the system may read DQ3 to de-
termine whether or not an erase operation has begun. (The sector erase timer
does not apply to the chip erase command.) If additional sectors are selected for
erasure, the entire time-out also applies after each additional sector erase com-
mand. When the time-out is complete, DQ3 switches from "0" to "1." The system
may ignore DQ3 if the system can guarantee that the time between additional
sector erase commands will always be less than 50 s. See also the
"Sector
Erase Command Sequence"
section.
After the sector erase command sequence is written, the system should read the
status on DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6 (Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device has ac-
cepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is "1", the internally
controlled erase cycle has begun; all further commands (other than Erase Sus-
pend) are ignored until the erase operation is complete. If DQ3 is "0", the device
will accept additional sector erase commands. To ensure the command has been
accepted, the system software should check the status of DQ3 prior to and fol-
lowing each subsequent sector erase command. If DQ3 is high on the second
status check, the last command might not have been accepted. Table
12
shows
the outputs for DQ3.
Table 12. Write Operation Status
Notes:
1. DQ5 switches to `1' when an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase operation has exceeded the maximum timing
limits. See
"DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits"
for more information.
2. DQ7 and DQ2 require a valid address when reading status information. Refer to the appropriate subsection for further
details.

Erase and Programming Performance
Notes:
1. Typical program and erase times assume the following conditions: 25
C, V
CC
= 3.0 V, 10,000 cycles, checkerboard data
pattern.
2. Under worst case conditions of 90C, V
CC
= 2.7 V, 100,000 cycles.
3. The typical chip programming time is considerably less than the maximum chip programming time listed, since most bytes
program faster than the maximum program times listed.
4. In the pre-programming step of the Embedded Erase algorithm, all bytes are programmed to 00h before erasure.
5. System-level overhead is the time required to execute the two- or four-bus-cycle sequence for the program command. See
Tables
2
3
for further information on command definitions.
