DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the
system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not an
erase operation has begun. (The sector erase timer
does not apply to the chip erase command.) If addi-
tional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-
out also applies after each additional sector erase
command. When the time-out is complete, DQ3
switches from 鈥?鈥?to 鈥?.鈥?The system may ignore DQ3
if the system can guarantee that the time between ad-
ditional sector erase commands will always be less
than 50 碌s. See also the 鈥淪ector Erase Command Se-
quence鈥?section.
After the sector erase command sequence is written,
the system should read the status on DQ7 (Data# Poll-
ing) or DQ6 (Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device has ac-
cepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If
DQ3 is 鈥?鈥? the internally controlled erase cycle has be-
gun; all further commands (other than Erase Suspend)
are ignored until the erase operation is complete. If
DQ3 is 鈥?鈥? the device will accept additional sector
erase commands. To ensure the command has been
accepted, the system software should check the status
of DQ3 prior to and following each subsequent sector
