Sector Protection features
— A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent any
program or erase operations within that sector
— Sectors can be locked in-system or via programming
equipment
Software Features
CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant
— Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code
changes in previously locked sectors
— Provides device-specific information to the system,
allowing host software to easily reconfigure for
different Flash devices
Unlock Bypass Program Command
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
— Reduces overall programming time when issuing
multiple program command sequences
— Suspends an erase operation to read data from, or
program data to, a sector that is not being erased,
then resumes the erase operation
Top or bottom boot block configurations
available
Data# Polling and toggle bits
Compatibility with JEDEC standards
— Provides a software method of detecting program or
erase operation completion
— Pinout and software compatible with single-power
supply Flash
— Superior inadvertent write protection
Hardware Features
Ready/Busy# pin (RY/BY#)
Performance Characteristics
High performance
— Provides a hardware method of detecting program or
erase cycle completion
— Access times as fast as 70 ns
