1. Connect DU (WP on SmartVoltage products) to
a control signal or to V or GND.
Throughout this datasheet the 28F400BX refers to
both the 28F400BX-T and 28F400BX-B devices and
28F004BX refers to both the 28F004BX-T and
28F004BX-B devices. The 4-Mbit flash memory fam-
ily refers to both the 28F400BX and 28F004BX prod-
ucts. This datasheet comprises the specifications for
four separate products in the 4-Mbit flash memory
family. Section 1 provides an overview of the 4-Mbit
flash memory family including applications, pinouts
and pin descriptions. Sections 2 and 3 describe in
detail the specific memory organizations for the
28F400BX and 28F004BX products respectively.
Section 4 combines a description of the family’s
principles of operations. Finally Section 5 describes
the family’s operating specifications.

1.2 Main Features
The 28F400BX/28F004BX boot block flash memory
family is a very high performance 4-Mbit (4,194,304
bit) memory family organized as either 256 KWords
(262,144 words) of 16 bits each or 512 Kbytes
(524,288 bytes) of 8 bits each.
Seven Separately Erasable Blocks including a
Hardware-Lockable boot block (16,384 Bytes),
Two parameter blocks (8,192 Bytes each) and
Four main blocks (1 block of 98,304 Bytes and 3
blocks of 131,072 Bytes) are included on the 4-Mbit
family. An erase operation erases one of the main
blocks in typically 2.4 seconds and the boot or pa-
rameter blocks in typically 1.0 seconds independent
of the remaining blocks. Each block can be indepen-
dently erased and programmed 100,000 times.

1.1 Designing for Upgrade to
SmartVoltage Products
The Boot Block is located at either the top
(28F400BX-T, 28F004BX-T) or the bottom
(28F400BX-B, 28F004BX-B) of the address map in
order to accommodate different microprocessor pro-
tocols for boot code location. The hardware locka-
ble boot block provides the most secure code stor-
age. The boot block is intended to store the kernel
code required for booting-up a system. When the
Today’s high volume boot block products are up-
gradable to Intel’s SmartVoltage boot block prod-
ucts that provide program and erase operation at 5V
or 12V V
and read operation at 3V or 5V V

The Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the
interface between the microprocessor or microcon-
