previously protected block can be temporarily un-
protected in order to change stored data. The
temporaryunprotectionmode is activatedby bring-
ing RPNC to VID. During the temporary unprotec-
tion mode the previously protected blocks are
unprotected.A block can be selectedand data can
be modified by executing the Erase or Program
instruction with the RPNCsignal held atVID. When
RPNC is returned to VIH, all the previously pro-
tected blocks are again protected.
Output Disable. The data outputsare high imped-
ance when the Output Enable G is High with Write
Enable W High.
Block Unprotection. All protected blocks can be
unprotected on programming equipment to allow
updating of bit contents. All blocks must first be
protectedbefore the unprotectionoperation.Block
unprotectionis activated when A9, G and E are at
VID and A12, A15 at VIH. The Block Unprotection
algorithm is shown in Figure 15. Unprotection is
initiatedby the edgeof Wfallingto VIL. Aftera delay
of 10ms, the unprotection operation is ended by
rising W to VIH. Unprotection verify is achieved by
bringing G and E to VIL while A0 is at VIL, A6 and
A1 are at VIH and A9 remains at VID. In these
conditions,reading the output data will yield 00h if
the block defined by the inputs A13-A17 has been
succesfullyunprotected.Eachblockmustbe sepa-
rately verified by giving its address in order to
ensure that it has been unprotected.
Standby. The memory is in standby when Chip
Enable E is High and the P/E.C. is idle. The power
consumption is reduced to the standby level and
the outputs are high impedance, independent of
the Output Enable G or Write Enable W inputs.
Automatic Standby. After 150ns of bus inactivity
and when CMOS levels are driving the addresses,
the chip automatically enters a pseudo-standby
mode whereconsumptionis reducedto the CMOS
standby value, while outputs still drive the bus.
Electronic Signature. Two codes identifying the
manufacturerand the devicecan be read from the
memory. These codes allow programming equip-
ment or applications to automatically match their
interface to the characteristics of the M29F002.
The Electronic Signature is output by a Read op-
erationwhenthe voltageappliedto A9 is at V and
ID
INSTRUCTIONS AND COMMANDS
addressinput A1 is Low.Themanufacturercodeis
output when the Address input A0 is Low and the
devicecodewhen thisinput is High.OtherAddress
inputs are ignored.
The Command Interface latches commands writ-
ten to the memory. Instructions are made up from
one or more commands to perform Read Memory
Array, ReadElectronic Signature,Read Block Pro-
tection, Program, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Erase
Suspend and Erase Resume. Commands are
made of addressand data sequences.
TheElectronic Signaturecan also be read, without
raisingA9 to V , bygiving the memory the Instruc-
ID
tion AS.
Block Protection. Each block can be separately
protected against Program or Erase on program-
ming equipment. Block protection provides addi-
tional data security, as it disables all program or
erase operations. This mode is activated when
both A9 and G are raisedto VID and an address in
the blockis appliedon A13-A17.TheBlockProtec-
tion algorithm is shown in Figure 14. Block protec-
tion is initiatedon the edgeof W fallingto VIL. Then
after a delay of 100µs, the edge of W rising to VIH
ends the protection operations. Block protection
verify is achieved by bringing G, E, A0 and A6 to
VIL and A1 to VIH, while W is at VIH and A9 at VID.
Undertheseconditions,readingthedataoutput will
yield 01h if the block defined by the inputs on
A13-A17 is protected. Any attempt to program or
erase a protected block will be ignored by the
device.
