1 2 Main Features
The 28F200BX 28F002BX boot block flash memory
family is a very high performance 2-Mbit (2 097 152
bit) memory family organized as either 128 KWords
(131 072 words) of 16 bits each or 256 Kbytes
(262 144 bytes) of 8 bits each
Five Separately Erasable Blocks
including a hard-
ware-lockable boot block
(16 384 Bytes) two pa-
rameter blocks
(8 192 Bytes each) and two main
blocks
(1 block of 98 304 Bytes and 1 block of
131 072 Bytes) are included on the 2-Mbit family An
erase operation erases one of the main blocks in
typically 2 4 seconds and the boot or parameter
blocks in typically 1 0 second Each block can be
independently erased and programmed 100 000
times
The Boot Block
is located at either the top
(28F200BX-T
28F002BX-T)
or
the
bottom
(28F200BX-B 28F002BX-B) of the address map in
order to accommodate different microprocessor pro-
tocols for boot code location The hardware locka-
ble boot block
provides the most secure code stor-
age The boot block is intended to store the kernel
code required for booting-up a system When the
RP
pin is between 11 4V and 12 6V the boot block
is unlocked and program and erase operations can
be performed When the RP
pin is at or below 6 5V
the boot block is locked and program and erase op-
erations to the boot block are ignored
The 28F200BX products are available in the ROM
EPROM compatible pinout and housed in the 44-
Lead PSOP (Plastic Small Outline) package and the
56-Lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline 1 2mm thick)
package as shown in Figures 3 and 4
The
28F002BX products are available in the 40-Lead
TSOP (1 2mm thick) package as shown in Figure 5
The Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the
interface between the microprocessor or microcon-
troller and the internal operation of the 28F200BX
and 28F002BX flash memory products
Program and Erase Automation
allows program
and erase operations to be executed using a two-
write command sequence to the CUI The internal
Write State Machine (WSM) automatically executes
the algorithms and timings necessary for program
and erase operations including verifications there-
by unburdening the microprocessor or microcontrol-
ler Writing of memory data is performed in word or
byte increments for the 28F200BX family and in byte
increments for the 28F002BX family typically within
9 ms which is a 100% improvement over current
flash memory products

The 2-Mbit boot block flash family is also designed
with an Automatic Power Savings (APS) feature to
minimize system battery current drain and allow for
very low power designs Once the device is ac-
cessed to read array data APS mode will immedi-
ately put the memory in static mode of operation
where I
CC
active current is typically 1 mA until the
next read is initiated
When the CE
and RP
pins are at V
CC
and the
BYTE
pin (28F200BX-only) is at either V
CC
or
GND the CMOS Standby mode is enabled where
I
CC
is typically 50 mA
A Deep Power-Down Mode is enabled when the
RP
pin is at ground minimizing power consumption
and providing write protection during power-up con-
ditions I
CC
current
during deep power-down mode
is 0 20 mA typical An initial maximum access time
or Reset Time of 300 ns is required from RP
switching until outputs are valid Equivalently the
device has a maximum wake-up time of 215 ns until
writes to the Command User Interface are recog-
nized When RP
is at ground the WSM is reset the
Status Register is cleared and the entire device is
protected from being written to This feature pre-
vents data corruption and protects the code stored
in the device during system reset The system Reset
pin can be tied to RP
to reset the memory to nor-
mal read mode upon activation of the Reset pin
With on-chip program erase automation in the
2-Mbit family and the RP
functionality for data pro-
tection when the CPU is reset and even if a program
or erase command is issued the device will not rec-
ognize any operation until RP
returns to its normal
state
For the 28F200BX Byte-wide or Word-wide In-
put Output Control
is possible by controlling the
BYTE
pin When the BYTE
pin is at a logic low
the device is in the byte-wide mode (x8) and data is
read and written through DQ 0 7
During the byte-
wide mode DQ 8 14 are tri-stated and DQ15 Ab1
becomes the lowest order address pin When the
BYTE
pin is at a logic high the device is in the
word-wide mode (x16) and data is read and written
through DQ 0 15
1 3 Applications

density high performance cost-effective flash mem-
ories with blocking and hardware protection capabili-
ties Its flexibility and versatility will reduce costs
throughout the product life cycle Flash memory is
ideal for Just-In-Time production flow reducing sys-
tem inventory and costs and eliminating component
handling during the production phase During the
product life cycle when code updates or feature en-
hancements become necessary flash memory will
reduce the update costs by allowing either a user-
performed code change via floppy disk or a remote
code change via a serial link The 2-Mbit boot block
flash family provides full function blocked flash
memories suitable for a wide range of applications
These applications include Extended PC BIOS
Digital Cellular Phone
program and data storage
Telecommunication
boot firmware
and various
other embedded applications where both program
and data storage are required
Reprogrammable systems such as personal com-
puters are ideal applications for the 2-Mbit flash
products Portable and handheld personal computer
applications are becoming more complex with the
addition of power management software to take ad-
vantage of the latest microprocessor technology
the availability of ROM-based application software
pen tablet code for electronic hand writing and diag-
nostic code
Figure 1 shows an example of a
28F200BX-T application
This increase in software sophistication augments
the probability that a code update will be required
after the PC is shipped The 2-Mbit flash products
provide an inexpensive update solution for the note-
book and handheld personal computers while ex-
tending their product lifetime
Furthermore
the
2-Mbit flash products’ power-down mode provides
added flexibility for these battery-operated portable
designs which require operation at very low power
levels

2 1 28F200BX Memory Organization
2 1 1 BLOCKING
The 28F200BX uses a blocked array architecture to
provide independent erasure of memory blocks A
block is erased independently of other blocks in the
array when an address is given within the block ad-
dress range and the Erase Setup and Erase Confirm
commands are written to the CUI The 28F200BX is
a random read write memory only erasure is per-
formed by block
2 1 1 1 Boot Block Operation and Data
Protection
The 16-Kbyte boot block provides a lock feature for
secure code storage The intent of the boot block is
to provide a secure storage area for the kernel code
that is required to boot a system in the event of pow-
er failure or other disruption during code update
This lock feature ensures absolute data integrity by
preventing the boot block from being written or
erased when RP
is not at 12V The boot block can
be erased and written when RP
is held at 12V for
the duration of the erase or program operation This
allows customers to change the boot code when
necessary while providing security when needed
See the Block Memory Map section for address
locations of the boot block for the 28F200BX-T
and 28F200BX-B
2 1 1 2 Parameter Block Operation
The 28F200BX has 2 parameter blocks (8 Kbytes
each) The parameter blocks are intended to provide
storage for frequently updated system parameters
and configuration or diagnostic information The pa-
rameter blocks can also be used to store additional
boot or main code The parameter blocks however
do not have the hardware write protection feature
that the boot block has The parameter blocks pro-
vide for more efficient memory utilization when deal-
ing with parameter changes versus regularly blocked
devices See the Block Memory Map section for ad-
dress locations of the parameter blocks for the
28F200BX-T and 28F200BX-B
2 1 1 3 Main Block Operation
Two main blocks of memory exist on the 28F200BX
(1 x 128 Kbyte block and 1 x 96-Kbyte block) See
the following section on Block Memory Map for the
address location of these blocks for the 28F200BX-T
and 28F200BX-B products
2 1 2 BLOCK MEMORY MAP
Two versions of the 28F200BX product exist to sup-
port two different memory maps of the array blocks
in order to accommodate different microprocessor
protocols for boot code location The 28F200BX-T
memory map is inverted from the 28F200BX-B
memory map
2 1 2 1 28F200BX-B Memory Map
The 28F200BX-B device has the 16-Kbyte boot
block located from 00000H to 01FFFH to accommo-
date those microprocessors that boot from the bot-
tom of the address map at 00000H

3 1 28F002BX Memory Organization
3 1 1 BLOCKING
The 28F002BX uses a blocked array architecture to
provide independent erasure of memory blocks A
block is erased independently of other blocks in the
array when an address is given within the block ad-
dress range and the Erase Setup and Erase Confirm
commands are written to the CUI The 28F002BX is
a random read write memory only erasure is per-
formed by block
3 1 1 1 Boot Block Operation and Data
Protection
The 16-Kbyte boot block provides a lock feature for
secure code storage The intent of the boot block is
to provide a secure storage area for the kernel code
that is required to boot a system in the event of pow-
er failure or other disruption during code update
This lock feature ensures absolute data integrity by
preventing the boot block from being programmed
or erased when RP
is not at 12V The boot block
can be erased and programmed when RP
is held
at 12V for the duration of the erase or program oper-
ation This allows customers to change the boot
code when necessary while still providing security
when needed See the Block Memory Map section
for address locations of the boot block for the
28F002BX-T and 28F002BX-B
3 1 1 2 Parameter Block Operation
The 28F002BX has 2 parameter blocks (8 Kbytes
each) The parameter blocks are intended to provide
storage for frequently updated system parameters
and configuration or diagnostic information The pa-
rameter blocks can also be used to store additional
boot or main code The parameter blocks however
do not have the hardware write protection feature
that the boot block has Parameter blocks provide
for more efficient memory utilization when dealing
with small parameter changes versus regularly
blocked devices See the Block Memory Map sec-
tion for address locations of the parameter blocks
for the 28F002BX-T and 28F002BX-B
3 1 1 3 Main Block Operation
Two main blocks of memory exist on the 28F002BX
(1 x 128-Kbyte block and 1 x 96-Kbyte block) See
the following section on Block Memory Map for
address
location
of
these
blocks
for
the
28F002BX-T and 28F002BX-B
3 1 2 BLOCK MEMORY MAP
Two versions of the 28F002BX product exist to sup-
port two different memory maps of the array blocks
in order to accommodate different microprocessor
protocols for boot code location The 28F002BX-T
memory map is inverted from the 28F002BX-B
memory map
3 1 2 1 28F002BX-B Memory Map
The 28F002BX-B device has the 16-Kbyte boot
block located from 00000H to 03FFFH to accommo-
date those microprocessors that boot from the bot-
tom of the address map at 00000H
In the
28F002BX-B the first 8-Kbyte parameter block re-
sides in memory from 04000H to 05FFFH The sec-
ond 8-Kbyte parameter block resides in memory
space from 06000H to 07FFFH The 96-Kbyte main
block resides in memory space from 08000H to
