Data Polling Flag (DQ7). When erasing or pro-
gramming in Flash memory, the Data Polling Flag
(DQ7) bit outputs the complement of the bit being
entered for programming/writing on the Data Poll-
ing Flag (DQ7) bit. Once the Program instruction
sequence or the write operation is completed, the
true logic value is read on the Data Polling Flag
(DQ7) bit (in a read operation).
Flash memory instruction features:
■ Data Polling is effective after the fourth Write
Error Flag (DQ5). During a normal Program or
Erase cycle, the Error Flag (DQ5) bit is to 0. This
bit is set to 1 when there is a failure during Flash
memory Byte Program, Sector Erase, or Bulk
Erase cycle.
In the case of Flash memory programming, the Er-
ror Flag (DQ5) bit indicates the attempt to program
a Flash memory bit from the programmed state, 0,
to the erased state, 1, which is not valid. The Error
Flag (DQ5) bit may also indicate a Time-out condi-
pulse (for a Program instruction sequence) or
tion while attempting to program a byte.

) (DQ7) bit outputs a 0. After completion of the
t(s cycle, the Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit outputs
c the last bit programmed (it is a 1 after erasing).

O Toggle Flag (DQ6). The device offers another
- way for determining when the Flash memory Pro-
) gram cycle is completed. During the internal write
t(s operation and when the Sector Select FS0-FS7 is
true, the Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit toggles from 0 to 1
c and 1 to 0 on subsequent attempts to read any
u byte of the memory.
rod When the internal cycle is complete, the toggling
stops and the data read on the Data Bus D0-7 is
P the addressed memory byte. The device is now
te accessible for a new read or write operation. The
cycle is finished when two successive reads yield
le the same output data. Flash memory specific fea-

Erase Time-out Flag (DQ3). The Erase Time-
out Flag (DQ3) bit reflects the time-out period al-
lowed between two consecutive Sector Erase in-
struction sequence bytes. The Erase Time-out
Flag (DQ3) bit is reset to 0 after a Sector Erase cy-
cle for a time period of 100 µs + 20% unless an ad-
ditional Sector Erase instruction sequence is
decoded. After this time period, or when the addi-
tional Sector Erase instruction sequence is decod-
ed, the Erase Time-out Flag (DQ3) bit is set to 1.
Programming Flash Memory
When a byte of Flash memory is programmed, in-
dividual bits are programmed to logic 0. You can-
not program a bit in Flash memory to a logic 1
once it has been programmed to a logic 0. A bit
must be erased to logic 1, and programmed to log-
ic 0. That means Flash memory must be erased
prior to being programmed. A byte of Flash mem-
ory is erased to all 1s (FFh). The DSP may erase
the entire Flash memory array all at once or indi-
vidual sector-by-sector, but not byte-by-byte.
However, the DSP may program Flash memory
byte-by-byte.
The Flash memory requires the DSP to send an in-
struction sequence to program a byte or to erase
sectors (see Table 5).
Once the DSP issues a Flash memory Program or
Erase instruction sequence, it must check for the
sequence) or after the sixth write operation (for
status bits for completion. The embedded algo-
rithms that are invoked inside the device provide
an Erase instruction sequence).
several ways give status to the DSP. Status may
