Data Sheet
7.7.4
Chip Erase Command Sequence
Chip erase is a six-bus cycle operation as indicated by Table 12.1 on page 69. These commands invoke the
Embedded Erase algorithm, which does not require the system to preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded
Erase algorithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire memory to an all zero data pattern prior to
electrical erase. After a successful chip erase, all locations of the chip contain FFFFh. The system is not
required to provide any controls or timings during these operations. The Command Definitions on page 68
shows the address and data requirements for the chip erase command sequence.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, that sector returns to the read mode and addresses are no
longer latched. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7 or DQ6/DQ2. Refer
to “Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.
The Unlock Bypass feature allows the host system to send program commands to the Flash device without
first writing unlock cycles within the command sequence. See Section 7.7.8 for details on the Unlock Bypass
function.
Any commands written during the chip erase operation are ignored. However, note that a hardware reset
immediately terminates the erase operation. If that occurs, the chip erase command sequence should be
reinitiated once that sector has returned to reading array data, to ensure the entire array is properly erased.

The following is a C source code example of using the chip erase function. Refer to the Spansion Low Level
Driver User’s Guide (available on www.spansion.com) for general information on Spansion Flash memory
software development guidelines.
