Figure 6. Sequential Row Read2 Operation
PAGE PROGRAM
The device is programmed basically on a page basis, but it does allow multiple partial page programing of a byte or consecutive
bytes up to 528, in a single page program cycle. The number of consecutive partial page programming operation within the same
page without an intervening erase operation should not exceed 2 for main array and 3 for spare array. The addressing may be done
in any random order in a block. A page program cycle consists of a serial data loading period in which up to 528 bytes of data may be
loaded into the page register, followed by a non-volatile programming period where the loaded data is programmed into the appropri-
ate cell. Serial data loading can be started from 2nd half array by moving pointer. About the pointer operation, please refer to the
attached technical notes.
In order to serial data loading period begins by inputting the Serial Data Input command(80H), followed by the three cycle address
input and then serial data loading. The bytes other than those to be programmed do not need to be loaded.The Page Program con-
firm command(10H) initiates the programming process. Writing 10H alone without previously entering the serial data will not initiate
the programming process. The internal write controller automatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for program and
verify, thereby freeing the CPU for other tasks. Once the program process starts, the Read Status Register command may be
entered, with RE and CE low, to read the status register. The CPU can detect the completion of a program cycle by monitoring the
R/B output, or the Status bit(I/O 6) of the Status Register. Only the Read Status command and Reset command are valid while pro-
gramming is in progress. When the Page Program is complete, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be checked(Figure 7). The internal
write verify detects only errors for "1"s that are not successfully programmed to "0"s. The command register remains in Read Status
command mode until another valid command is written to the command register.
