GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HY29F800A is an 8 Megabit, 5 volt only CMOS
Flash memory organized as 1,048,576 (1M) bytes
or 524,288 (512K) words. The device is offered in
industry-standard 44-pin PSOP and 48-pin TSOP
packages.
The HY29F800A can be programmed and erased
in-system with a single 5-volt V
CC
supply. Internally
generated and regulated voltages are provided for
program and erase operations, so that the device
does not require a high voltage power supply to
perform those functions. The device can also be
programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
Access times as fast as 55 ns over the full operat-
ing voltage range of 5.0 volts ± 10% are offered for
timing compatibility with the zero wait state require-
ments of high speed microprocessors. A 50 ns

version operating over 5.0 volts ± 5% is also avail-
able. To eliminate bus contention, the HY29F800A
has separate chip enable (CE#), write enable
(WE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.
The device is compatible with the JEDEC single
power-supply Flash command set standard. Com-
mands are written to the command register using
standard microprocessor write timings, from where
they are routed to an internal state-machine that
controls the erase and programming circuits. De-
vice programming is performed a byte at a time
by executing the four-cycle Program Command.
This initiates an internal algorithm that automati-
cally times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin.
The HY29F800A’s sector erase architecture allows
any number of array sectors to be erased and re-
programmed without affecting the data contents
of other sectors. Device erasure is initiated by ex-
ecuting the Erase Command. This initiates an in-
ternal algorithm that automatically preprograms the
array (if it is not already programmed) before ex-
ecuting the erase operation. During erase cycles,
the device automatically times the erase pulse
widths and verifies proper cell margin.
To protect data in the device from accidental or
unauthorized attempts to program or erase the
device while it is in the system (e.g., by a virus),
BLOCK DIAGRAM
the device has a Sector Protect function which
hardware write protects selected sectors. The
sector protect and unprotect features can be en-
abled in a PROM programmer. Temporary Sector
Unprotect, which requires a high voltage, allows
in-system erasure and code changes in previously
protected sectors.
Erase Suspend enables the user to put erase on
hold for any period of time to read data from, or
program data to, any sector that is not selected
for erasure. True background erase can thus be
achieved. The device is fully erased when shipped
from the factory.
Addresses and data needed for the programming
and erase operations are internally latched during
write cycles, and the host system can detect
completion of a program or erase operation by
observing the RY/BY# pin, or by reading the DQ[7]
(Data# Polling) and DQ[6] (toggle) status bits.
Reading data from the device is similar to reading
from SRAM or EPROM devices. Hardware data
protection measures include a low V
CC
detector
that automatically inhibits write operations during
power transitions.
The host can place the device into the standby
mode. Power consumption is greatly reduced in
this mode.

CONVENTIONS
Unless otherwise noted, a positive logic (active
High) convention is assumed throughout this docu-
ment, whereby the presence at a pin of a higher,
more positive voltage (nominally 5VDC) causes
assertion of the signal. A ‘#’ symbol following the
signal name, e.g., RESET#, indicates that the sig-
nal is asserted in a Low state (nominally 0 volts).
Whenever a signal is separated into numbered bits,
e.g., DQ[7], DQ[6], ..., DQ[0], the family of bits may
also be shown collectively, e.g., as DQ[7:0].
The designation 0xNNNN (N = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 9, A, .
. . , E, F) indicates a number expressed in hexadeci-
mal notation. The designation 0bXXXX indicates a
number expressed in binary notation (X = 0, 1).

Low selects byte mode, High selects word mode.
Chip Enable, active Low.
This input must be asserted to read data from or

MEMORY ARRAY ORGANIZATION
The 1 Mbyte Flash memory array is organized into
nineteen blocks called
sectors
(S0, S1, . . . , S18).
A sector is the smallest unit that can be erased
and which can be protected to prevent accidental
or unauthorized erasure. See the ‘Bus Operations’
and ‘Command Definitions’ sections of this docu-
ment for additional information on these functions.
In the HY29F800A, four of the sectors, which com-
prise the
boot block,
vary in size from 8 to 32
Kbytes (4 to 16 Kwords), while the remaining fif-
teen sectors are uniformly sized at 64 Kbytes (32
Kwords). The boot block can be located at the
bottom of the address range (HY29F800AB) or at
the top of the address range (HY29F800AT).
Table 1 defines the sector addresses and corre-
sponding address ranges for the top and bottom
boot block versions of the HY29F800A.
