Organization
The M28F411 and M28F421 are organized as
512K x 8. Memory control is provided by Chip
Enable, Output Enable and Write Enable inputs. A
Reset/Power Down/Boot block unlock, tri-level in-
put, places the memory in deep power down, nor-
mal operation or enables programming and
erasure of the Boot block.
Blocks
Erasure of the memories is in blocks. There are 7
blocks in the memory address space, one Boot
Block of 16K Bytes, two ’Key Parameter Blocks’ of
8K Bytes, one ’Main Block’ of 96K Bytes, and three
’Main Blocks’ of 128K Bytes. The M28F411 mem-
ory has the Boot Block at the top of the memory
address space (7FFFFh) and the M28F421 locates
the Boot Block starting at the bottom (00000h).
Erasure of each block takes typically 1 second and
each block can be programmed and erased over
100,000 cycles.
The Boot Block is hardware protected from acci-
dental programming or erasure depending on the
RP signal. Program/Erase commands in the Boot
Block are executed only when RP is at 12V.
Block erasure may be suspended while data is read
from other blocks of the memory, then resumed.

Bus Operations
Six operations can be performed by the appropriate
bus cycles, Read Byte from the Array, Read Elec-
tronic Signature, Output Disable, Standby, Power
Down and Write the Command of an Instruction.
Command Interface
Commands can be written to a Command Interface
(C.I.) latch to perform read, programming, erasure
and to monitor the memory’s status. When power
is first applied, on exit from power down or if V
CC
falls below V
LKO
, the command interface is reset to
Read Memory Array.
Instructions and Commands
Eight Instructions are defined to perform Read
Memory Array, Read Status Register, Read Elec-
tronic Signature, Erase, Program, Clear Status
Register, Erase Suspend and Erase Resume. An
internalProgram/EraseController (P/E.C.) handles
all timing and verification of the Program and Erase
instructions and provides status bits to indicate its
operation and exit status. Instructions are com-
posed of a first command write operation followed
by either second command write, to confirm the
commands for programming or erase, or a read
operationto read data from the array, the Electronic
Signature or the Status Register.
For added data protection, the instructions for byte
program and block erase consist of two commands
that are written to the memory and which start the
automatic P/E.C. operation. Byte programming
takes typically 9µs, block erase typically 1 second.
Erasure of a memory block may be suspended in
order to read data from another block and then
resumed. A Status Register may be read at any
time, including during the programming or erase
cycles, to monitor the progress of the operation.
Power Saving
The M28F411 and M28F421 have a number of
power saving features. A CMOS standby mode is
entered when the Chip Enable E and the Re-
set/Power Down (RP) signals are at V
CC
, when the
supply current drops to typically 60µA. A deep
power down mode is enabled when the Re-
set/Power Down (RP) signal is at V
SS
, when the
supply current drops to typically 0.2µA. The time
required to awake from the deep power down mode
is 300ns maximum, with instructions to the C.I.
recognised after only 210ns.
DEVICE OPERATION
Signal Descriptions
A0-A18 Address Inputs.
The address signals,
inputs for the memory array, are latched during a
write operation.
A9 Address Input is also used for the Electronic
Signature Operation. When A9 is raised to 12V the
Electronic Signature may be read. The A0 signal is
used to read two bytes, when A0 is Low the Manu-
facturer code is read and when A0 is High the
Device code.

DQ0-DQ7 Data Input/Outputs.
The data inputs, a
byte to be programmed or a command to the C.I.,
are latched when both Chip Enable E and Write
Enable W are active. The data output from the
memory Array, the Electronic Signature or Status
Register is valid when Chip Enable E and Output
Enable G are active. The output is high impedance
when the chip is deselected or the outputs are
disabled.
E Chip Enable.
The Chip Enable activates the
memory control logic, input buffers, decoders and
sense amplifiers. E High de-selects the memory
and reduces the power consumption to the standby
level. E can also be used to control writing to the
command register and to the memory array, while
W remains at a low level. Both addresses and data
inputs are then latched on the rising edge of E.
RP Reset/Power Down.
This is a tri-level input
which locks the Boot Block from programming and
erasure, and allows the memory to be put in deep
power down.
When RP is High (up to 6.5V maximum) the Boot
Block is locked and cannot be programmed or
erased. When RP is above 11.4V the Boot Block is
unlocked for programming or erasure.
With RP Low the memory is in deep power down,
and if RP is within V
SS
+0.2V the lowest supply
current is absorbed.

Memory Blocks
The memory blocks of the M28F411 and M28F421
are shown in Figure 8. The difference between the
two productsis simply an inversion of the block map
to position the Boot Block at the top or bottom of
the memory. The selection of the Boot Block at the
top or bottom of the memory depends on the
microprocessor needs.
Each block of the memory can be erased sepa-
rately, but only by one block at a time. The erase
operation is managed by the P/E.C. but can be
suspended in order to read from another block and
then resumed.
Programming and erasure of the memory is dis-
abled when the program supply is at V
PPL
. For
successful programming and erasure the program
supply must be at V
PPH
.
The Boot Block provides additional hardware secu-
rity by use of the RP signal which must be at V
HH
before any program or erase operation will be
executed by the P/E.C. on the Boot Block.
