GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29LV800B in Known Good Die (KGD) form is
an 8 Mbit, 3.0 volt-only Flash memory. AMD defines
KGD as standard product in die form, tested for func-
tionality and speed. AMD KGD products have the same
reliability and quality as AMD products in packaged
form.
Am29LV800B Features
The Am29LV800B is an 8 Mbit, 3.0 volt-only Flash
memory organized as 1,048,576 bytes or 524,288
words. The word-wide data (x16) appears on DQ15–
DQ0; the byte-wide (x8) data appears on DQ7–DQ0.
To eliminate bus contention the device has separate
chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and output
enable (OE#) controls.
The device requires only a single 3.0 volt power
supply for both read and write functions. Internally
generated and regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations. No VPP is required for
program or erase operations. The device can also be
programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the
JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Com-
mands are written to the command register using stan-
dard microprocessor write timings. Register contents
serve as input to an internal state-machine that con-
trols the erase and programming ci rcuit ry. Write cycles
also internally l atch ad dresses and dat a needed for the
programming and erase operations. Reading data out
of the device is similar to reading from other Flash or
EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by executing the program
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded
Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that auto-
matically times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facili-
tates faster programming times by requiring only two
write cycles to program data instead of four.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded
Erase algorithm—an internal algorithm that automati-
cally preprograms the array (if it is not already pro-
grammed) before executing the erase operation.
During erase, the device automatically times the erase
pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin.
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by observing the RY/BY#
pin, or by reading the DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6
(toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle has
been completed, the dev ice is ready to read a rray data
or accept another command.
The sector erase ar chitecture all ows memory sectors
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the
data contents of other sectors. The device is fully
erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
VCC detector that automatically inhibits write opera-
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector
protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of the sectors of
memory. This can be achieved in-system or via pro-
gramming equipment.
The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put
erase on hold for any period of time to read data from,
or program data to, any sector that is not selected for
erasure. T rue background erase can thus be achiev ed.
The hardware RESET# pin terminates any operation
in progress and resets the internal state machine to
reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied t o the
system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also
reset the device, enabling the system microprocessor
to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
The device offers two power-saving features. When
addresses have been stable for a specified amount of
time, the device enters the automatic sleep mode.
The system can also place the device into the standby
mode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in both
these modes.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash
memory manufacturing experience to produce the
highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effective-
ness. The device electrically erases all bits within
a sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tun-
neling. The data is programmed using hot electron
injection.

SPECIAL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Processing
Do not expose KGD products to ultraviolet light or
process them at temperatures greater than 250°C.
Failure to adhere to these handling instructions will
result in irreparable damage to the devices. For best
yield, AMD recommends assembly in a Class 10K
clean room with 30% to 60% relative humidity.
Storage
Store at a maximum temperature of 30 °C in a nitrogen-
purged cabinet or vacuum-sealed bag. Observe all
standard ESD handling procedures.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR
AMD NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DIE
All transactions relating to AMD Products under this
agreement shall be subject to AMD’s standard terms
and conditions of sale, or any revisions thereof, which
revisions AMD reserves the right to make at any time
and from time to time. In the event of conflict between
the provisions of AMD’s standard terms and conditions
of sale and this agreement, the terms of this agreement
shall be controlling.
AMD warrants articles of its manufacture against
defective materials or workmanship for a period of
ninety (90) days from date of shipment. This warranty
does not extend beyond AMD’s customer, and does
not extend to die which has been affixed onto a board
or substrate of any kind. Th e liabil ity of AMD und er t his
warranty is limited, at AMD’s option, solely to repair or
to replacement with equivalent articles, or to make an
appropriate credit adjus tment not to exceed the original
sales price, for articles returned to AMD, provided that:
(a) The Buyer promptly notifies AMD in writing of each
and every defect or nonconformity in any article for
which Buyer wishes to make a warranty claim against
AMD; (b) Buyer obtains authorization from AMD to
return the article; (c) the article is returned to AMD,
transportation charges paid by AMD, F.O.B. AMD’s fac-
tory; and (d) AMD’s examination of such article dis-
closes to its satisfaction that such alleged defect or
nonconformity actually exists and was not caused by
negligence, misuse, improper installation, accident or
unauthorized repair or alte ration by an entity other than
AMD. The aforementioned provisions do not extend
the original warranty period of any article which has
either been repaired or replaced by AMD.
THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED IN LIEU OF ALL

OF USE OR COST OF LABOR BY REASON OF THE
FACT THAT SUCH ARTICLES SHALL HAVE BEEN
DEFECTIVE OR NON CONF O RMING .
Buyer agrees that it will make no warranty representa-
tions to its customers which exceed those given by
AMD to Buyer unless and until Buyer shall agree to
indemnify AMD in writing for any claims which exceed
AMD’s warranty. Buyer assumes all responsibility for
successful die prep, die attach and wire bonding pro-
cesses. Due to the unprotected nature of the AMD
Products which are the subject hereof, AMD assumes
no responsibility for environmental effects on die.
AMD products are not designed or authorized for use
as components in life support appliances, devices or

ably be expected to result in a personal injury. Buyer’s
use of AMD products for use in life support applications
