CHIP ENABLE INPUTS
: Activate the device's control logic, input buffers, decoders and

0
or CE
1
high, the device is de-selected and power
consumption reduces to Standby levels upon completion of any current Data-Write or
Erase operations. Both CE

specifications are the same for both signals. Device Selection

disables the device.
RP
INPUT
RESET/POWER-DOWN:
RP
low places the device in a Deep Power-Down state. All
circuits that burn static power, even those circuits enabled in standby mode, are turned
off. When returning from Deep Power-Down, a recovery time of 5 ns is required to
allow these circuits to power-up for Read mode, and another 395 ns is required to enter
Program or Erase mode. When RP
goes low, any current or pending WSM operation(s)
are terminated, and the device is reset. All Status registers return to ready (with all
status flags cleared).

Gates device data through the output buffers when low. The
outputs float to tri-state off when OE
is high.

INPUT
WRITE PROTECT:
Erase blocks can be locked by writing a non-volatile lock-bit for
each block. When WP is low, those locked blocks as reflected by the Block-Lock Status
bits (BSR.6), are protected from inadvertent Data Writes or Erases. When WP is high,
all blocks can be Written or Erased regardless of the state of the lock-bits. The WP
input buffer is disabled when RP
transitions low (deep power-down mode).

INTRODUCTION
Sharp's LH28F016LL 16M Flash Memory is a revo-
lutionary architecture which enables the design of truly
mobile, high performance, personal computing and com-
munication products. With innovative capabilities,
3 V single voltage operation and very high read/write
performance, the LH28F0166LL is also the ideal choice
for designing embedded mass storage flash memory
systems.
The LH28F016LL is very high density, highest per-
formance non-volatile read/write solution for solid-state
storage applications. Its symmetrically blocked archi-
tecture (100% compatible with the LH28F016SU 16M
Flash memory), extended cycling, minimum power
2.7 V operation, very fast write and read performance
and selective block locking provide a highly flexible
memory component suitable for battery operation por-
table equipment such as digital still camera, PDA, cel-
lular phone, and memory card. Its x8/x16 architecture
allows the optimization of memory to processor inter-
face. The flexible block locking option enables bundling
of executable of executable application software in a
Resident Flash Array or memory card. Manufactured
on Sharp's 0.6 m ETOXTM process technology, the
LH28F016LL is the most cost-effective, high-density
3 V single power operation flash memory.
DESCRIPTION
The LH28F016LL is a high perfor mance 16M
(16,777,216 bit) block erasable non-volatile random
access memory organized as either 1M 16 or 2M x 8.
The LH28F016LL includes thirty-two 64K (65,536)
blocks or thirty-two 32-KW (32,768) blocks. A chip
memory map is shown in Figure 3.
The implementation of a new architecture, with many
enhanced features, will improve the device operating
characteristics and results in greater product reliability
and ease of use.
Among the significant enhancements of the
LH28F016LL:
3 V Write/Erase Operation (3 V V
PP
)
3 V Low Power Capability
Improved Write Performance
Dedicated Block Write/Erase Protection
The LH28F016LL will be available in a 56-pin,
1.2 mm thick 14 mm 20 mm TSOP (Type I) pack-
age. This form factor and pinout allow for very high board
layout densities.
A Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the sys-
tem interface between the microprocessor or
microcontroller and the internal memory operation.
Internal Algorithm Automation allows Byte/Word
Writes and Block Erase operations to be executed us-
ing a Two-Write command sequence to the CUI in the
same way as the LH28F008SA 8M Flash memory.
A Superset of commands have been added to the
basic LH28F008SA command-set to achieve higher
write performance and provide additional capabilities.
These new commands and features include:
Page Buffer Writes to Flash
Command Queuing Capability
Automatic Data Writes During Erase
Software Locking of Memory Blocks
Two-Byte Successive Writes in 8-bit Systems
Erase All Unlocked Blocks
Writing of memory data is performed in either byte or
word increments typically within 9 s, a 15% improve-
ment over the LH28F008SA.
Each block can be written and erased a minimum of
100,000 cycles. Systems can achieve 1,000,000 Block
Erase Cycles by providing wear-leveling algorithms and
graceful block retirement. These techniques have
already been employed in many flash file systems and
Hard Disk Drive designs.
The LH28F016LL incorporates two Page Buffers of
256 Bytes (128 Words) each to allow page data writes.
This feature can improve a system write performance
by up to 4.8 times over previous flash memory devices.
All operations are started by a sequence of Write
commands to the device. Three Status Registers (de-
scribed in detail later) and a RY
/BY
output pin provide
information on the progress of the requested operation.
While the LH28F008SA requires an operation to com-
plete before the next operation can be requested, the
LH28F016LL allows queuing of the next operation while
the memory executes the current operation. This elimi-
nates system overhead when writing several bytes in a
row to the array or erasing several blocks at the same
time. The LH28F016LL can also perform write opera-
tions to one block of memory while performing erase of
another block.
The LH28F016LL provides user-selectable block
locking to protect code or data such as Device Drivers,
PCMCIA card information, ROM-Executable O/S or
Application Code. Each block has an associated non-
volatile lock-bit which determines the lock status of the
block. In addition, the LH28F016LL has a master Write
Protect pin (WP
) which prevents any modifications to
memory blocks whose lock-bits are set.
