PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION:
The product identification mode identifies the device
and manufacturer and may be accessed by a hardware operation. For details, see
Operating Modes or Product Identification.
DATA POLLING:
The AT29C256 features DATA polling to indicate the end of a pro-
gram cycle. During a program cycle an attempted read of the last byte loaded will result
in the complement of the loaded data on I/O7. Once the program cycle has been com-
pleted, true data is valid on all outputs and the next cycle may begin. DATA polling may
begin at any time during the program cycle.
TOGGLE BIT:
In addition to DATA polling the AT29C256 provides another method for
determining the end of a program or erase cycle. During a program or erase operation,
successive attempts to read data from the device will result in I/O6 toggling between
one and zero. Once the program cycle has completed, I/O6 will stop toggling and valid
data will be read. Examining the toggle bit may begin at any time during a program
cycle.
OPTIONAL CHIP ERASE MODE:
The entire device can be erased by using a six-byte
software code. Please see Software Chip Erase application note for details.
