The device is organized into four physical banks : Bank A, Bank B, Bank C and Bank D, which can be considered
to be four separate memory arrays as far as certain operations are concerned. This device is the almost identical
to Fujitsu’s standard 3 V only Flash memories, with the additional capability of allowing a normal non-delayed
read access from a non-busy bank of the array while an embedded write (either a program or an erase) operation
is simultaneously taking place on the other bank.
The new design concept called FlexBank
TM
*
1
Architecture is implemented. With this concept the device can
execute simultaneous operation between Bank 1, a bank chosen from among the four banks, and Bank 2, a
bank consisting of the three remaining banks. This means that any bank can be chosen as Bank 1. (Refer to
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION for Simultaneous Operation.)
The standard device offers access times 60 ns and 70 ns, allowing operation of high-speed
microprocessors without the wait. To eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip enable (CE) , write
enable (WE) and output enable (OE) controls.
This device consists of pin and command set compatible with JEDEC standard E
2
PROMs. Commands are
written to the command register using standard microprocessor write timings. Register contents serve as input
to an internal state-machine which controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also internally
latch addresses and data needed for the programming and erase operations. Reading data out of the device is
similar to reading from 5.0 V and 12.0 V Flash or EPROM devices.
The device is programmed by executing the program command sequence. This invokes the Embedded Program
Algorithm
TM
which is an internal algorithm that automatically times the program pulse widths and verifies proper
cell margin. Typically each sector can be programmed and verified in about 0.5 seconds. Erase is accomplished
by executing the erase command sequence. This invokes the Embedded Erase Algorithm
TM
which is an internal
algorithm that automatically preprograms the array if it is not already programmed before executing the erase
operation. During erase, the device automatically times the erase pulse widths and verifies the proper cell margin.
Typically one sector is erased and verified in 0.2 second (if already completely preprogrammed) .
The device also features sector erase architecture. The sector mode allows each sector to be erased and
reprogrammed without affecting other sectors. The device is erased when shipped from the factory.
The device features single 3.0 V power supply operation for both read and write functions. Internally generated
and regulated voltages are provided for the program and erase operations. A low V
CC
detector automatically
inhibits write operations on the loss of power. The end of program or erase is detected by Data Polling of DQ
7
,
by the Toggle Bit feature on DQ
6
, or the RY/BY output pin. Once a program or erase cycle is completed, the
device internally resets to the read mode.
The device also has a hardware RESET pin. When this pin is driven low, execution of any Embedded Program
Algorithm or Embedded Erase Algorithm is terminated. The internal state machine is then reset to the read
mode. The RESET pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. Therefore if a system reset occurs during the
Embedded Program

Algorithm or Embedded Erase
TM

Algorithm, the device is automatically reset to the
read mode and have erroneous data stored in the address locations being programmed or erased. These
locations need rewriting after the reset. Resetting the device enables the system’s microprocessor to read the
boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
Fujitsu Flash technology combines years of EPROM and E
2
PROM experience to produce the highest levels of
quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness. The device memory electrically erases the entire chip or all bits within
a sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordhiem tunneling. The bytes/words are programmed one byte/word at a
time using the EPROM programming mechanism of hot electron injection.

Host system can program or erase in one bank, and then read immediately and simultaneously from the other
bank with zero latency between read and write operations.
