device automatically times the erase pulse widths and
verifies proper erase margin. The Unlock Bypass mode
facilitates faster programming times by requiring only two
write cycles to program data instead of four.
sectors of memory. This can be achieved via programming
equipment.
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume feature enables the user
to put erase on hold for any period of time to read data from,
or program data to, any other sector that is not selected for
erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.

After a program or erase cycle has been completed, the
device is ready to read array data or accept another
command.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be
erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data
contents of other sectors. The A29800A is fully erased when
shipped from the factory.
circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the device,
enabling the system microprocessor to read the boot-up
firmware from the Flash memory.
The device offers power-saving features. The system can
place the device into the standby mode. Power consumption
is greatly reduced in standby mode.
The hardware sector protection feature disables operations
for both program and erase in any combination of the
