Command Definitions
Writing specific address and data commands or sequences into the command register initiates
device operations. Table 34 and Table 35 define the valid register command sequences. Writing incorrect address and data values or writing them in the improper sequence may place the device
in an unknown state. A reset command is then required to return the device to reading array data.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens later. All data is
timing diagrams.
Reading Array Data
The device is automatically set to reading array data after device power-up. No commands are
required to retrieve data. The device is ready to read array data after completing an Embedded
Program or Embedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Erase Suspend command, the device enters the erase-suspend-read
mode, after which the system can read data from any non-erase-suspended sector. After com-
pleting a programming operation in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once again read
information.
The system must issue the reset command to return the device to the read (or erase-suspend-
read) mode if DQ5 goes high during an active program or erase operation, or if the device is in
the autoselect mode. See the next section, Reset Command, for more information.
Reset Command
Writing the reset command resets the device to the read or erase-suspend-read mode. Address
bits are don’t cares for this command.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an erase command sequence
before erasing begins. This resets the device to the read mode. Once erasure begins, however,
the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in a program command se-
quence before programming begins. This resets the device to the read mode. If the program
command sequence is written while the device is in the Erase Suspend mode, writing the reset
command returns the device to the erase-suspend-read mode. Once programming begins, how-
ever, the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the sequence cycles in an autoselect command se-
quence. Once in the autoselect mode, the reset command must be written to return to the read
mode. If the device entered the autoselect mode while in the Erase Suspend mode, writing the
reset command returns the device to the erase-suspend-read mode.
If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation, writing the reset command returns the
device to the read mode (or erase-suspend-read mode if the device was in Erase Suspend).
Note that if DQ1 goes high during a Write Buffer Programming operation, the system must write
the Write-to-Buffer-Abort Reset command sequence to reset the device for the next operation.
