PRELIMINARY

quence 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. A bit cannot be programmed

from a “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 suc-

cessful. However, a succeeding 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 pro-

gram bytes to the device faster than using the standard

program command sequence. The unlock bypass com-

mand 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 en-

ters the unlock bypass mode. A two-cycle unlock by-

pass program command sequence is all that is

required to program in this mode. The first cycle in this

sequence contains the unlock bypass program com-

mand, A0h; the second cycle contains the program ad-

dress and data. Additional data is programmed in the

same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial two

unlock cycles required in the standard program com-

mand sequence, resulting in faster total programming

time. Table 9 shows the requirements for the command

sequence.

During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock By-

pass Program and Unlock Bypass Reset commands

are valid. To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system

must issue the two-cycle unlock bypass reset com-

mand sequence. The first cycle must contain the data

90h; the second cycle the data 00h. Addresses are

don’t cares for both cycles. The device then returns to

reading array data.

ation. See the Erase/Program Operations table in “AC

Characteristics” for parameters, and to Figure 15 for
