Data Inputs/Outputs (DQ0-DQ7).
The Data In-
puts/Outputs hold the data that is written to or read
from the memory. They output the data stored at
the selected address during a Bus Read opera-
tion. During Bus Write operations they represent
the commands sent to the Command Interface of
the internal state machine. The Data Inputs/Out-
puts, DQ0-DQ7, are latched during a Bus Write
operation.
Output Enable (G).
The Output Enable, G, con-
trols the Bus Read operation of the memory.
Write Enable (W).
The Write Enable, W, controls
the Bus Write operation of the memory’s Com-
mand Interface.
Row/Column Address Select (RC).
The
Column Address Select input selects whether the
Address Inputs should be latched into the Row
Address bits (A0-A10) or the Column Address bits
(A11-A20). The Row Address bits are latched on
the falling edge of RC whereas the Column
Address bits are latched on the rising edge.
Ready/Busy Output (RB).
The Ready/Busy pin
gives the status of the memory’s Program/Erase
Controller. When Ready/Busy is Low, V
OL
, the
memory is busy with a Program or Erase operation
and it will not accept any additional Program or
Erase command except the Program/Erase
Suspend command. When Ready/Busy is High,
V
OH
, the memory is ready for any Read, Program
or Erase operation.
Supply Signal Descriptions
The Supply Signals are the same for both interfac-
es.
V
CC
Supply Voltage.
The V
CC
Supply Voltage
supplies the power for all operations (Read, Pro-
gram, Erase etc.).
The Command Interface is disabled when the V
CC
Supply Voltage is less than the Lockout Voltage,
V
LKO
. This prevents Bus Write operations from
accidentally damaging the data during power up,
power down and power surges. If the Program/
Erase Controller is programming or erasing during
this time then the operation aborts and the
memory contents being altered will be invalid.
After V
CC
becomes valid the Command Interface
is reset to Read mode.
A 0.1μF capacitor should be connected between
the V
CC
Supply Voltage pins and the V
SS
Ground
pin to decouple the current surges from the power
supply. Both V
CC
Supply Voltage pins must be
connected to the power supply. The PCB track
widths must be sufficient to carry the currents
required during program and erase operations.

Write Protect (WP).
The Write Protect input is
used to prevent the Blocks 0 to 48 from being
changed. When Write Protect, WP, is set Low, V
IL
,
Program and Block Erase operations in the Blocks
0 to 48 have no effect, regardless of the state of
the Lock Register. When Write Protect, WP, is set
High, V
IH
, the protection of the Block is determined
by the Lock Register. The state of Write Protect,
WP, does not affect the protection of the Top Block
(Block 49).
Write Protect, WP, must be set prior to a Program
or Block Erase operation is initiated and must not
be changed until the operation completes or un-
predictable results may occur. Care should be tak-
en to avoid unpredictable behavior by changing
WP during Program or Erase Suspend.
Reserved for Future Use (RFU).
These pins do
not have assigned functions in this revision of the
part. They must be left disconnected.
Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux)
Signal Descriptions
For the Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux)
Interface see Figure 2, Logic Diagram (A/A Mux
Interface), and Table 3, Signal Names (A/A Mux
Interface).
Address Inputs (A0-A10).
The Address Inputs
are used to set the Row Address bits (A0-A10) and
the Column Address bits (A11-A20). They are
latched during any bus operation by the Row/Col-
umn Address Select input, RC.
