WRITE OPERSTION STATUS
The device provides several bits to determine the sta-
tus of a write operation: Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6 and Q7. Table
10 and the following subsections describe the functions
of these bits. Q7 and Q6 each offer a method for deter-
mining whether a program or erase operation is com-
plete or in progress. These three bits are discussed first.
Q7: Data Polling
The Data Polling bit, Q7, indicates to the host sys-tem
whether an Automatic Algorithm is in progress or com-
pleted, or whether the device is in Erase Suspend. Data
Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final WE pulse
in the program or erase command sequence.
During the Automatic Program algorithm, the device out-
puts on Q7 the complement of the datum programmed
to Q7. This Q7 status also applies to programming dur-
ing Er ase Suspend. When the Automatic Program algo-
rithm is complete, the device outputs the datum pro-
grammed to Q7. The system must provide the program
address to read valid status information on Q7. If a pro-
gram address falls within a protected sector, Data Poll-
ing on Q7 is active for approximately 1 us, then the de-
vice returns to reading array data.
During the Automatic Erase algorithm, Data Polling pro-
duces a "0" on Q7. When the Automatic Erase algo-
rithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase Sus-
pend mode, Data Polling produces a "1" on Q7. This is
analogous to the complement/true datum out-put de-
scribed for the Automatic Program algorithm: the erase
function changes all the bits in a sector to "1" prior to
this, the device outputs the "complement,” or "0".” The
system must provide an address within any of the sec-
tors selected for erasure to read valid status information
on Q7.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sec-
tors selected for erasing are protected, Data Polling on
Q7 is active for approximately 100 us, then the device
returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors
are protected, the Automatic Erase algorithm erases the
unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors
that are protected.
When the system detects Q7 has changed from the
complement to true data, it can read valid data at Q7-Q0
on the following read cycles. This is because Q7 may
change asynchr onously with Q0-Q6 while Output En-
able (OE) is asserted low.
Q6:Toggle BIT I
Toggle Bit I on Q6 indicates whether an Automatic Pro-
gram or Erase algorithm is in progress or complete, or
whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend mode.
Toggle Bit I may be read at any address, and is valid
after the rising edge of the final WE or CE, whichever
happens first, in the command sequence(prior to the pro-
gram or erase operation), and during the sector time-
out.
During an Automatic Program or Erase algorithm opera-
tion, successive read cycles to any address cause Q6
to toggle. The system may use either OE or CE to con-
trol the read cycles. When the operation is complete, Q6
stops toggling.
After an erase command sequence is written, if all sec-
tors selected for erasing are protected, Q6 toggles and
returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors
are protected, the Automatic Erase algorithm erases the
unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors
that are protected.
The system can use Q6 and Q2 together to determine
whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase sus-
pended. When the device is actively erasing (that is, the
Automatic Erase algorithm is in progress), Q6 toggling.
When the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Q6
stops toggling. However, the system must also use Q2
to determine which sectors are erasing or erase-sus-
pended. Alternatively, the system can use Q7.
If a program address falls within a protected sector, Q6
toggles for approximately 2 us after the program com-
mand sequence is written, then returns to reading array
data.
Q6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program mode,
and stops toggling once the Automatic Program algo-
rithm is complete.
Table 6 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on Q6.
