Sector Protection Features
– A hardware method of locking a sector to prevent any program or
erase operations within that sector
– Sectors can be locked in-system or via programming equipment
– Temporary Sector Unprotect feature allows code changes in
previously locked sectors
Unlock Bypass Program Command
– Reduces overall programming time when issuing multiple program
command sequences
Top or Bottom Boot Block Configurations Available
Compatibility with JEDEC standards
– Pinout and software compatible with single-power supply Flash
– Superior inadvertent write protection

Software Features
CFI (Common Flash Interface) Compliant
– Provides device-specific information to the system, allowing host
software to easily reconfigure for different Flash devices
Erase Suspend/Erase Resume
– Suspends an erase operation to read data from, or program data to,
a sector that is not being erased, then resumes the erase operation
Data# Polling and Toggle Bits
– Provides a software method of detecting program or erase operation
completion
Hardware Features
Ready/Busy# Pin (RY/BY#)
– Provides a hardware method of detecting program or erase cycle
completion
Hardware Reset Pin (RESET#)
– Hardware method to reset the device to reading array data
