Description
Advance
The AT25F1024A provides 1,048,576 bits of serial reprogrammable Flash memory Information
organized as 131,072 words of 8 bits each. The device is optimized for use in many
industrial and commercial applications where low-power and low-voltage operation
are essential. The AT25F1024A is available in a space-saving 8-lead JEDEC SOIC
and 8-lead SAP packages.
The AT25F1024A is enabled through the Chip Select pin (CS) and accessed via a 3-
wire interface consisting of Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and Serial
Clock (SCK). All write cycles are completely self-timed.
BLOCK WRITE protection for top 1/4, top 1/2 or the entire memory array is enabled by
programming the status register. Separate write enable and write disable instructions
are provided for additional data protection. Hardware data protection is provided via
the WP pin to protect against inadvertent write attempts to the status register. The
HOLD pin may be used to suspend any serial communication without resetting the
serial sequence.

WRITE ENABLE (WREN): The device will power up in the write disable state when VCC
is applied. All write instructions must therefore be preceded by the WREN instruction.
WRITE DISABLE (WRDI): To protect the device against inadvertent writes, the WRDI
instruction disables all write commands. The WRDI instruction is independent of the sta-
tus of the WP pin.
READ STATUS REGISTER (RDSR): The RDSR instruction provides access to the sta-
tus register. The READY/BUSY and write enable status of the device can be determined
by the RDSR instruction. Similarly, the Block Write Protection bits indicate the extent of
protection employed. These bits are set by using the WRSR instruction. During internal
write cycles, all other commands will be ignored except the RDSR instruction.

3346C–SEEPR–7/04
READ PRODUCT ID (RDID): The RDID instruction allows the user to read the manufac-
turer and product ID of the device. The first byte after the instruction will be the
manufacturer code (1FH = ATMEL), followed by the device code, 60H.
WRITE STATUS REGISTER (WRSR): The WRSR instruction allows the user to select
one of four levels of protection for the AT25F1024A. The AT25F1024A is divided into
four sectors where the top quarter (1/4), top half (1/2), or all of the memory sectors can
be protected (locked out) from write. Any of the locked-out sectors will therefore be
READ only. The locked-out sector and the corresponding status register control bits are
shown in Table 4.
The three bits, BP0, BP1, and WPEN, are nonvolatile cells that have the same proper-
ties and functions as the regular memory cells (e.g., WREN, tWC, RDSR).

READ* (READ): Reading the AT25F1024A via the SO (Serial Output) pin requires the
following sequence. After the CS line is pulled low to select a device, the READ instruc-
tion is transmitted via the SI line followed by the byte address to be read (Refer to Table
6). Upon completion, any data on the SI line will be ignored. The data (D7-D0) at the
specified address is then shifted out onto the SO line. If only one byte is to be read, the
CS line should be driven high after the data comes out. The READ instruction can be
continued since the byte address is automatically incremented and data will continue to
be shifted out. For the AT25F1024A, when the highest address is reached, the address
counter will roll over to the lowest address allowing the entire memory to be read in one
continuous READ instruction.
PROGRAM (PROGRAM): In order to program the AT25F1024A, two separate instruc-
tions must be executed. First, the device must be write enabled via the WREN
instruction. Then the PROGRAM instruction can be executed. Also, the address of the
memory location(s) to be programmed must be outside the protected address field loca-
tion selected by the Block Write Protection Level. During an internal self-timed
programming cycle, all commands will be ignored except the RDSR instruction.
The PROGRAM instruction requires the following sequence. After the CS line is pulled
low to select the device, the PROGRAM instruction is transmitted via the SI line followed
by the byte address and the data (D7-D0) to be programmed (Refer to Table 6). Pro-
gramming will start after the CS pin is brought high. The low-to-high transition of the CS
pin must occur during the SCK low time immediately after clocking in the D0 (LSB) data
bit.
The READY/BUSY status of the device can be determined by initiating a RDSR instruc-
tion. If Bit 0 = 1, the program cycle is still in progress. If Bit 0 = 0, the program cycle has
ended. Only the RDSR instruction is enabled during the program cycle.

SECTOR ERASE (SECTOR ERASE): Before a byte can be reprogrammed, the sector
which contains the byte must be erased. In order to erase the AT25F1024A, two sepa-
rate instructions must be executed. First, the device must be write enabled via the
WREN instruction. Then the SECTOR ERASE instruction can be executed.
The SECTOR ERASE instruction erases every byte in the selected sector if the sector is
not locked out. Sector address is automatically determined if any address within the sec-
tor is selected. The SECTOR ERASE instruction is internally controlled; it will
automatically be timed to completion. During this time, all commands will be ignored,
except RDSR instruction. The AT25F1024A will automatically return to the write disable
state at the completion of the SECTOR ERASE cycle.
CHIP ERASE (CHIP ERASE): As an alternative to the SECTOR ERASE, the CHIP
ERASE instruction will erase every byte in all sectors that are not locked out. First, the
device must be write enabled via the WREN instruction. Then the CHIP ERASE instruc-
tion can be executed. The CHIP ERASE instruction is internally controlled; it will
automatically be timed to completion. The CHIP ERASE cycle time typically is 3.5 sec-
onds. During the internal erase cycle, all instructions will be ignored except RDSR. The
AT25F1024A will automatically return to the write disable state at the completion of the
CHIP ERASE cycle.
