11 / 38 page  11 3588C–DFLASH–04/06 AT26F004 8.3 Block Erase A block of 4 Kbytes, 32 Kbytes, or 64 Kbytes can be erased (all bits set to the logical “1” state) in a single operation by using one of three different opcodes for the Block Erase command. An opcode of 20h is used for a 4-Kbyte erase, an opcode of 52h is used for a 32-Kbyte erase, and an opcode of D8h is used for a 64-Kbyte erase. Before a Block Erase command can be started, the Write Enable command must have been previously issued to the device to set the WEL bit of the Status Register to a logical “1” state. To perform a Block Erase, the CS pin must first be asserted and the appropriate opcode (20h, 52h or D8h) must be clocked into the device. After the opcode has been clocked in, the three address bytes specifying an address within the 4-Kbyte, 32-Kbyte, or 64-Kbyte block to be erased must be clocked in. Any additional data clocked into the device will be ignored. When the CS pin is deasserted, the device will erase the appropriate block. The erasing of the block is internally self-timed and should take place in a time of t BLKE. Since the Block Erase command erases a region of bytes, the lower order address bits do not need to be decoded by the device. Therefore, for a 4-Kbyte erase, address bits A11 - A0 will be ignored by the device and their values can be either a logical “1” or “0”. For a 32-Kbyte erase, address bits A14 - A0 will be ignored, and for a 64-Kbyte erase, address bits A15 - A0 will be ignored by the device. Despite the lower order address bits not being decoded by the device, the complete three address bytes must still be clocked into the device before the CS pin is deas- serted; otherwise, the device will abort the operation and no erase operation will be performed. If the address specified by A23 - A0 points to a memory location within a sector that is in the pro- tected state, then the Block Erase command will not be executed, and the device will return to the idle state once the CS pin has been deasserted. In addition, with the larger Block Erase sizes of 32 Kbytes and 64 Kbytes, more than one physical sector may be erased (e.g. sectors 10, 9 and 8) at one time. Therefore, in order to erase a larger block that may span more than one sector, all of the sectors in the span must be in the unprotected state. If one of the physical sec- tors within the span is in the protected state, then the device will ignore the Block Erase command and will return to the idle state once the CS pin is deasserted. The WEL bit in the Status Register will be reset back to the logical “0” state if the erase cycle aborts due to an incomplete address being sent or because a memory location within the region to be erased is protected. While the device is executing a successful erase cycle, the Status Register can be read and will indicate that the device is busy. For faster throughput, it is recommended that the Status Regis- ter be polled rather than waiting the t BLKE time to determine if the device has finished erasing. At some point before the erase cycle completes, the WEL bit in the Status Register will be reset back to the logical “0” state. Figure 8-4.
