SIGNA L DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure 2, Logic Diagram and Table 1, Signal
Names, for a brief overview of the signals connect-
ed to this device.
Address Inputs (A0-A18). The Address Inputs
are used to select the c ells to acc ess in the mem-
ory array during Bus Read operations either to
read or to program data to. During Bus Write oper-
ations they control the commands sent to the
Comman d Interface of the internal state m achine.
Chip Enable must be low when selecting the ad-
dresses.
The address inpu ts are latched on the rising edge
of Latch Enable L or Burst Clock K , whichever oc-
curs first, in a read operation.The address inputs
are latched on the rising edge of Chip Enable,
Write Enable or Latch Enable, whichever occurs
first in a Write operation. The address latch is
transparent when Latch Enable is low, VIL. The ad-
dress is internally latc hed in a n E rase or P rogram
operation.
Data Inputs/Output s (DQ0-DQ31). The Data In-
puts/Outputs output the data stored at the selected
address during a Bus Read operation, or are used
to input the data dur ing a program operation. Dur-
ing Bus Wri te op erations they repres ent the com-
mands sent to the Command Interface of the
internal state machine. When used to input data or
Write commands they are latched on the rising
edge of Write Enable or Chip Enable, whichever
occu rs first.
When Chip Enable and Output Enable are both
low, VIL, and Output Disable is at VIH, the data bus
outputs data from the memory array, the Electron-
ic Signature, the CFI Information or the contents of
the Status Register. The data bus is high imped-
ance when the device is deselected with Chip En-
able at VIH, Out put E na ble at VIH, O utp u t Di sabl e
at VIL or Reset/Power-Down at VIL. The Status
Register content is output on DQ0-DQ7 and DQ8-
DQ31 are at VIL.
Chip Enable (E). The Chip Enable, E, input a cti-
vates the memory control logic, input buffers, de-
coders and sense amplifiers. Chip Enable, E, at
VIH deselects the memory and reduces the power
consumpt ion to the Standby level.
Output Enable (G). The Output Enable, G , gates
the outputs through the data output buffers during
a read operation, when Output Disable GD is at
VIH. Wh en Output Enable G is a t VIH, the ou tp uts
are high im pedance in dependently of Output Dis-
able.
Outp ut Disabl e (G D ). The Output Disable, GD,
deactivates the dat a output buffers. When Ou tput
Disable, GD, is at VIH, the outputs are driven by
the Output Enable. When Output Disable, GD, is at
VIL, the outputs are high impedance independent-
ly of Output Enabl e. The Output Disable pin m ust
be connected to an external pull-up resistor as
there is no internal pull-up resistor to drive the pin.
Write Enable (W). The Write Enable, W, input
controls writing to the Command Interface, Input
Address and Data latches. Both addresses and
data can be latched on the rising edge of Wri te En-
able (also see Latch Enable, L).
Reset/Power-Dow n (RP). The Reset/Power-
Down, RP, is used to apply a hardware reset to the
memory. A hardware reset is achie ved by hold ing
Reset/Power-Down Low, VIL, for at least tPLPH.
Writing is inhibited to protect data, the Command
Interface and the Program/Erase Controller are re-
set. The Status Register information is cleared and
power consumption is reduced to deep power-
down level. The device acts as deselected , that is
the data outputs are high impedance .
After Reset/Power-Down goes High, VIH, the
memory will be ready for Bus Read operations af-
ter a delay of tPHEL or Bus W rite operations after
tPHWL.
If Reset/Power-Down goes low, VIL, during a Block
Erase, a Program or a Tuning Protection Program
the operation is aborted, in a time of tPLRH maxi-
mum, and data is altered and may be corrupted.
During Power-up power should be applied simulta-
neously to VDD a nd VDDQ(IN) wi th RP held at VIL.
When the supplies are stable RP is taken to VIH.
Output E nable, G, Chi p Enab le, E , and Write En-
able, W, should be held at VIH during power-up.
In an application, it is recommended to associate
Reset/Power-Down pin, RP, with the reset signal
of the microprocessor. Otherwise, if a reset opera-
tion occurs while the memory is performing an
erase or program operation, the memory may out-
put the Stat us Register information inst ead of be-
ing initialized to the default Asynchronous
Random Read.
See T able 21 a nd F igure 18, Reset , Po wer-Down
and Power-up Characteristics, for more details.
Latch Enable (L). The Bu s Interface can be c on-
figured to latch the Address Inputs on the rising
edge of Latch Enable, L, for Asynchronous Latch
Enable Cont rolled R ead or W rite or Synchronous
Burst Read operations. In Synchronous Burst
Read operations the address is latched on the ac-
tive edge of t he Clock whe n Lat ch E na ble is Low,
VIL. Once latched, the addresses may change
without affecting the address used by the memory.
When Latch E nabl e is Low, V IL, the latch is trans-
parent. Latch Enable, L, can remain at VIL for
Asynchronous Random Read and Write opera-
tions.
Burst Clock (K). The Burst Clock, K, is used to
synchronize the memory with the external bus dur-
