12. Write Operation Status

The device provides several bits to determine the status of a write operation: DQ2, DQ3, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7, and RY/BY#. Table

on page 38 and the following subsections describe the functions of these bits. DQ7, RY/BY#, and DQ6 each offer a method for

determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or in progress. These three bits are discussed first.

12.1

DQ7: Data# Polling

The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host system whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or completed, or whether

the device is in Erase Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the program or erase command

sequence.

During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum programmed to DQ7. This DQ7

status also applies to programming during Erase Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device outputs

the datum programmed to DQ7. The system must provide the program address to read valid status information on DQ7. If a program

address falls within a protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 1 µs, then the device returns to reading

array data.

During the Embedded Erase algorithm, Data# Polling produces a 0 on DQ7. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, or if

the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a 1 on DQ7. This is analogous to the complement/true datum

output described for the Embedded Program algorithm: the erase function changes all the bits in a sector to 1; prior to this, the

device outputs the complement, or 0. The system must provide an address within any of the sectors selected for erasure to read

valid status information on DQ7.

After an erase command sequence is written, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for

approximately 100 µs, then the device returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase

algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are protected.

When the system detects DQ7 has changed from the complement to true data, it can read valid data (at DQ7–DQ0 in byte mode or

DQ15–DQ0 in word mode) on the following read cycles. This is because DQ7 may change asynchronously with DQ0–DQ6 while

Output Enable (OE#) is asserted low. Figure 18.7 on page 47, illustrates this.

Table on page 38 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7. Figure 12.2 on page 37 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.
