Program and Erase Automation allow program
and erase operations to be executed using a two-
write command sequence to the CUI. The internal
Write State Machine (WSM) automatically executes
the algorithms and timings necessary for program
and erase operations, including verifications, there-
by unburdening the microprocessor or microcontrol-
ler. Writing of memory data is performed in word or
byte increments for the 28F200BL family and in byte
increments for the 28F002BL family typically within
11 ms.

When the CPU enters reset mode, it expects to read
the contents of a memory location. Furthermore,

2-Mbit family and the RP functionality for data pro-
tection, after the CPU is reset and even if a program

The 2-Mbit low power boot block flash memory fami-
ly combines high density, 3V operation, high per-
formance, cost-effective flash memories with block-
ing and hardware protection capabilities. Its flexibility
and versatility will reduce costs throughout the prod-
uct life cycle. Flash memory is ideal for Just-In-Time
production flow, reducing system inventory and
costs, and eliminating component handling during
the production phase. During the product life cycle,
when code updates or feature enhancements be-
come necessary, flash memory will reduce the up-
date costs by allowing either a user-performed code
change via floppy disk or a remote code change via
a serial link. The 2-Mbit boot block flash memory
family provides full function, blocked flash memories
suitable for a wide range of applications. These ap-
plications include Extended PC BIOS, Handy Digi-
tal Cellular Phone program and data storage and
various other portable embedded applications where
both program and data storage are required.

The 2-Mbit flash family is also designed with an Au-
tomatic Power Savings (APS) feature to minimize
system battery current drain and allow for extremely
