Description
The AT49BV/LV16X4A(T) is a 2.65- to 3.3-volt 16-megabit Flash memory organized
as 1,048,576 words of 16 bits each or 2,097,152 bytes of 8 bits each. The x16 data
appears on I/O0 - I/O15; the x8 data appears on I/O0 - I/O7. The memory is divided
into 39 sectors for erase operations. The device is offered in 48-lead TSOP and
48-ball CBGA packages. The device has CE and OE control signals to avoid any bus
contention. This device can be read or reprogrammed using a single 2.65V power
supply, making it ideally suited for in-system programming.

Note:
*For the AT49BV/LV1614A(T), either pin 13 or pin 14 (TSOP package) or ball B3 or ball C4 (CBGA package) can be connected
to V
PP
or both pins can be unconnected. Accelerated program/erase operations are only achieved if a voltage of 5V ± 0.5 V or
12V ± 0.5V is applied to pin 13 (TSOP package) or ball C4 (CBGA package).

1411F–FLASH–03/02
AT49BV1604A(T)/1614A(T)
The device powers on in the read mode. Command sequences are used to place the device in
other operation modes such as program and erase. The device has the capability to protect
the data in any sector (see Sector Lockdown section).
The device is segmented into two memory planes. Reads from memory plane B may be per-
formed even while program or erase functions are being executed in memory plane A and vice
versa. This operation allows improved system performance by not requiring the system to wait
for a program or erase operation to complete before a read is performed. To further increase
the flexibility of the device, it contains an Erase Suspend feature. This feature will put the
erase on hold for any amount of time and let the user read data from or program data to any of
the remaining sectors within the same memory plane. There is no reason to suspend the
erase operation if the data to be read is in the other memory plane. The end of a program or
an erase cycle is detected by the Ready/Busy pin, Data Polling or by the toggle bit.
The VPP pin provides faster program/erase times. With V
PP
at 5.0V or 12.0V, the program and
erase operations are accelerated.
A six-byte command (Enter Single Pulse Program Mode) sequence to remove the requirement
of entering the three-byte program sequence is offered to further improve programming time.
After entering the six-byte code, only single pulses on the write control lines are required for
writing into the device. This mode (Single Pulse Byte/Word Program) is exited by powering
down the device, or by pulsing the RESET pin low for a minimum of 500 ns and then bringing
it back to V
CC
. Erase and Erase Suspend/Resume commands will not work while in this mode;
if entered they will result in data being programmed into the device. It is not recommended that
the six-byte code reside in the software of the final product but only exist in external program-
ming code.
When using the AT49BV1604A(T) pinout configuration, the device always operates in the
word mode. In the AT49BV/LV1614A(T) configuration, the BYTE pin controls whether the
device data I/O pins operate in the byte or word configuration. If the BYTE pin is set at logic
“1”, the device is in word configuration, I/O0 - I/O15 are active and controlled by CE and OE.
If the BYTE pin is set at logic “0”, the device is in byte configuration, and only data I/O pins
I/O0 - I/O7 are active and controlled by CE and OE. The data I/O pins I/O8 - I/O14 are tri-
stated, and the I/O15 pin is used as an input for the LSB (A-1) address function.

AT49BV1604A(T)/1614A(T)
Device
Operation
READ:
The AT49BV/LV16X4A(T) is accessed like an EPROM. When CE and OE are low and
WE is high, the data stored at the memory location determined by the address pins are
asserted on the outputs. The outputs are put in the high-impedance state whenever CE or OE
is high. This dual-line control gives designers flexibility in preventing bus contention.
COMMAND SEQUENCES:
When the device is first powered on it will be reset to the read or
standby mode, depending upon the state of the control line inputs. In order to perform other
device functions, a series of command sequences are entered into the device. The command
sequences are shown in the Command Definitions table (I/O8 - I/O15 are don’t care inputs for
the command codes). The command sequences are written by applying a low pulse on the
WE or CE input with CE or WE low (respectively) and OE high. The address is latched on the
falling edge of CE or WE, whichever occurs last. The data is latched by the first rising edge of
CE or WE. Standard microprocessor write timings are used. The address locations used in the
command sequences are not affected by entering the command sequences.
RESET:
A RESET input pin is provided to ease some system applications. When RESET is at
a logic high level, the device is in its standard operating mode. A low level on the RESET input
halts the present device operation and puts the outputs of the device in a high-impedance
state. When a high level is reasserted on the RESET pin, the device returns to the read or
standby mode, depending upon the state of the control inputs.
ERASURE:
Before a byte/word can be reprogrammed, it must be erased. The erased state of
memory bits is a logical “1”. The entire device can be erased by using the Chip Erase com-
mand or individual sectors can be erased by using the Sector Erase command.
CHIP ERASE:
The entire device can be erased at one time by using the six-byte chip erase
software code. After the chip erase has been initiated, the device will internally time the erase
operation so that no external clocks are required. The maximum time to erase the chip is t
EC
.
If the sector lockdown has been enabled, the chip erase will not erase the data in the sector
that has been locked out; it will erase only the unprotected sectors. After the chip erase, the
device will return to the read or standby mode.
SECTOR ERASE:
As an alternative to a full chip erase, the device is organized into 39 sec-
tors (SA0 - SA38) that can be individually erased. The Sector Erase command is a six-bus
cycle operation. The sector address is latched on the falling WE edge of the sixth cycle while
the 30H data input command is latched on the rising edge of WE. The sector erase starts after
the rising edge of WE of the sixth cycle. The erase operation is internally controlled; it will
automatically time to completion. The maximum time to erase a section is t
SEC
. When the sec-
tor programming lockdown feature is not enabled, the sector will erase (from the same Sector
Erase command). An attempt to erase a sector that has been protected will result in the oper-
ation terminating in 2 µs.
BYTE/WORD PROGRAMMING:
Once a memory block is erased, it is programmed (to a logi-
cal “0”) on a byte-by-byte or on a word-by-word basis. Programming is accomplished via the
internal device command register and is a four-bus cycle operation. The device will automati-
cally generate the required internal program pulses.
Any commands written to the chip during the embedded programming cycle will be ignored. If
a hardware reset happens during programming, the data at the location being programmed
will be corrupted. Please note that a data “0” cannot be programmed back to a “1”; only erase
operations can convert “0”s to “1”s. Programming is completed after the specified t
BP
cycle
time. The Data Polling feature or the Toggle Bit feature may be used to indicate the end of a
program cycle.
VPP PIN:
The circuitry of the AT49BV/LV16X4A(T) is designed so that the device can be pro-
grammed or erased from the V
CC
power supply or from the VPP input pin. When V
PP
is less
than or equal to the VCC pin, the device selects the V
CC
supply for programming and erase
