2.1.4
Flash Reset
The device enters a reset mode when RP# is driven low. In reset mode, internal circuitry is turned 
off and outputs are placed in a high-impedance state.
After return from reset, a time t
PHQV
 is required until outputs are valid, and a delay (t
PHWL
 or 
t
PHEL
) is required before a write sequence can be initiated. After this wake-up interval, normal 
operation is restored. The device defaults to read array mode, the status register is set to 80H, and 
the read configuration register defaults to asynchronous reads.
If RP# is taken low during a block erase or program operation, the operation will be aborted and the 
memory contents at the aborted location are no longer valid. 
2.1.5
Write
Writes to flash take place when both F-CE# and F-WE# are low and F-OE# is high. Writes to 
SRAM take place when both S-CS
1
# and S-WE# are low and S-OE# and S-SC
2
 are high. 
Commands are written to the flash memory’s Command User Interface (CUI) using standard 
microprocessor write timings to control flash operations. The CUI does not occupy an addressable 
memory location within the flash component. The address and data buses are latched on the rising 
edge of the second F-WE# or F-CE# pulse, whichever occurs first. (See 
Figure 6
 and 
Figure 7
 for 
read and write waveforms.)

Flash Memory Modes of Operation
The flash memory has four read modes: read array, read configuration, read status, and read query. 
The write modes are program and erase. Three additional modes (erase suspend to program, erase 
suspend to read and program suspend to read) are available only during suspended operations. 
These modes are reached using the commands summarized in 
Table 5, “Flash Memory Command 
Definitions” on page 11
. 
3.1
Read Array (FFH)
When F-RP# transitions from V
IL
 (reset) to V
IH
, the device defaults to read array mode and will 
respond to the read control inputs without any additional CUI commands.
In addition, the address of the desired location must be applied to the address balls. If the device is 
not in read array mode, as would be the case after a program or erase operation, the Read Array 
command (FFH) must be written to the CUI before array reads can take place.
3.2
Read Identifier (90H)
The read configuration mode outputs the manufacturer/device identifier. The device is switched to 
this mode by writing the read configuration command (90H). Once in this mode, read cycles from 
addresses shown in 
Table 4, “Read Configuration Table” on page 8
 retrieve the specified 
information. To return to read array mode, write the Read Array command (FFH).
