GENERAL DESCRIPTION (cont.)

The Sector Erase Architecture allows memory sectors to be erased

and reprogrammed without affecting the data contents of other sectors.

The device is fully erased when shipped from the factory.

Hardware Data Protection measures include a low VCC detector

that automatically inhibits write operations during power transitions. The

Hardware Sector Protection feature disables both program and erase

operations in any combinations of the sectors of memory. This can be

achieved via programming equipment.

The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put erase on hold for

any period of time to read data form, or program data to, any sector

that is not selected for erasure. True background erase can thus be

achieved.

The Hardware RESET\ pin terminates any operation in progress

and resets the internal state machine to reading array data. The

RESET\ pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset

would thus also reset the device, enabling the system microprocessor to

read the boot-up firmware from the FLASH memory.

The system can place the device into the standby mode. Power

consumption is greatly reduced in this mode.
