Bus Operations
This section provides an overview of device bus operations. The on-chip Write State Machine
(WSM) manages all erase and program algorithms. The system CPU provides control of all in-
system read, write, and erase operations of the device via the system bus.
Device commands are written to the CUI to control all of the flash memory device’s operations.
The CUI does not occupy an addressable memory location; it’s the mechanism through which the
flash device is controlled.

Bus Operations Overview
The local CPU reads and writes flash memory in-system. All bus cycles to or from the flash
memory conform to standard microprocessor bus cycles.

NOTES:
1. See Table 13 on page 33 for valid CE configurations.
2. OE# and WE# should never be enabled simultaneously.
3. D refers to D[7:0] if BYTE# is low and D[15:0] if BYTE# is high.
4. Refer to DC Characteristics. When VPEN ≤ VPENLK, memory contents can be read, but not altered.
5. X can be VIL or VIH for control and address signals, and VPENLK or VPENH for VPEN. See DC Characteristics for VPENLK and
VPENH voltages.
6. In default mode, STS is VOL when the WSM is executing internal block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration algorithms. It
is VOH when the WSM is not busy, in block erase suspend mode (with programming inactive), program suspend mode, or
reset/power-down mode.
7. High Z will be VOH with an external pull-up resistor.
8. See Section 10.2, “Read Identifier Codes” on page 39 for read identifier code data.
9. See Section 10.3, “Read Query/CFI” on page 41 for read query data.
10.Command writes involving block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration are reliably executed when VPEN = VPENH and VCC
is within specification.
