4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.
5. Give WR
a negative pulse. This starts the Chip Erase. RDY/BSY goes low.
6. Wait until RDY/BSY
goes high before loading a new command.
27.7.4 Programming the Flash
The Flash is organized in pages, see Table 27-7 on page 298. When programming the Flash, the program data
is latched into a page buffer. This allows one page of program data to be programmed simultaneously. The
following procedure describes how to program the entire Flash memory:
A. Load Command “Write Flash”
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “10”. This enables command loading.
2. Set BS1 to “0”.
3. Set DATA to “0001 0000”. This is the command for Write Flash.
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.
B. Load Address Low byte (Address bits 7..0)
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “00”. This enables address loading.
2. Set BS2, BS1 to “00”. This selects the address low byte.
3. Set DATA = Address low byte (0x00 - 0xFF).
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address low byte.
C. Load Data Low Byte
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “01”. This enables data loading.
2. Set DATA = Data low byte (0x00 - 0xFF).
3. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.
D. Load Data High Byte
1. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high data byte.
2. Set XA1, XA0 to “01”. This enables data loading.
3. Set DATA = Data high byte (0x00 - 0xFF).
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.
E. Latch Data
1. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high data byte.
2. Give PAGEL a positive pulse. This latches the data bytes. (See Figure 27-3 on page 304 for signal
waveforms)
F. Repeat B through E until the entire buffer is filled or until all data within the page is loaded.
While the lower bits in the address are mapped to words within the page, the higher bits address the pages
within the FLASH. This is illustrated in Figure 27-2 on page 303. Note that if less than eight bits are required to
address words in the page (pagesize < 256), the most significant bit(s) in the address low byte are used to
address the page when performing a Page Write.
G. Load Address High byte (Address bits15..8)
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “00”. This enables address loading.
2. Set BS2, BS1 to “01”. This selects the address high byte.
3. Set DATA = Address high byte (0x00 - 0xFF).
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address high byte.
H. Load Address Extended High byte (Address bits 23..16)
