General Description
The A29001B is a 5.0 volt-only Flash memory organized as
131,072 bytes of 8 bits each. The A29001B offers the
The A29001B is entirely software command set compatible
with the JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard.
Commands are written to the command register using
standard microprocessor write timings. Register contents
serve as input to an internal state-machine that controls the
erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also
internally latch addresses and data needed for the
programming and erase operations. Reading data out of
the device is similar to reading from other Flash or EPROM
devices.
Device programming occurs by writing the proper program
command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Program
algorithm - an internal algorithm that automatically times
the program pulse widths and verifies proper program

128 Kbytes of data are further divided into seven sectors for
flexible sector erase capability. The 8 bits of data appear on
I/O0 - I/O7 while the addresses are input on A0 to A16. The
A29001B is offered in 32-pin PLCC, PDIP and TSOP
packages. This device is designed to be programmed in-
system with the standard system 5.0 volt VCC supply.
Additional 12.0 volt VPP is not required for in-system write
or erase operations. However, the A29001B can also be
programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The A29001B has the first toggle bit, I/O6, which indicates
whether an Embedded Program or Erase is in progress, or it
is in the Erase Suspend. Besides the I/O6 toggle bit, the
A29001B has a second toggle bit, I/O2, to indicate whether
the addressed sector is being selected for erase. The
A29001B also offers the ability to program in the Erase
Suspend mode. The standard A29001B offers access time
of 55ns allowing high-speed microprocessors to operate
without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the device
