GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am29F010 in Known Good Die (K GD) form is a 1
Mbit, 5.0 V olt-only Flash memory. AMD defines KGD as
standard product in die form, tested for functionality
and speed. AMD KGD products have the same reli-
ability and qu ality as AMD products in packaged for m.
Am29F010 Features
The Am29F010 device is organized as eight uniform
se cto rs of 16 K byt es ea ch for fl e xibl e e ras e c ap ab i lit y.
This device is designed to be programmed in-sys tem
with the standard sys tem 5.0 Volt VCC supply. A power
supply providing 12.0 Volt VPP is not required for
program or erase operations.
The Am29F010 in KGD form offers access times of 90
ns and 120 ns, allowing high speed microprocessors to
oper ate wit hout wait states. To elimi nate bus conten-
tion the device has separate chip enable (CE#), write
enable (WE#) and output enable (OE) controls.
The device requires only a single 5.0 volt power sup-
ply for bo th re ad an d w rite fu nc t ion s. In te rn all y g en er -
ated and regulated voltages are provided for the
program and erase operations.
The device is enti rely com mand set compatible with the
JED EC single-power-supply Flash standa rd. C om-
mand s ar e w rit t en to the c om ma nd re gis t er us ing st an-
da rd microprocessor write timings. Re gist er contents
ser ve a s inp ut t o an inte rnal sta te ma chin e th at c ontr ols
the erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also
in te rn al l y la t c h add re s se s an d d at a ne ed ed f or t he pr o-
gramming and erase operations. Reading data out of
the device is similar to reading from other Flash or
EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by executing the program
command sequence. This invokes the Embedded
Program algorithm—an internal algorithm that auto-
mat ically times the program pulse widths and verifies
proper cell margin.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase com-
mand sequence. This invokes the Embedded Erase
al gori thm—a n i ntern al a lgo rith m th at a utomat ic all y pre-
programs the array (if it is not already programmed) be-
fore executing the erase operation. During erase, the
devi ce au tom a ticall y tim es th e e ra se pu ls e widths an d
verifies proper c ell margin.
The host system can detect whether a program or
erase operation is complete by reading the DQ7 (Data#
Polling) and DQ6 (toggle) status bits. After a program
or er ase cycle has been completed, the device is ready
to read array data or accept another command .
The sector erase architecture allo ws me mory sect ors
to be erased and reprogrammed withou t affecting the
data contents of other sectors. The device is erased
when shipped from the factory.
The hardware data protection measures include a
low VCC detector automatically inhibits write operations
during power transitions. The hardware sector pro-
tection feature disables both program and erase oper-
ations in any combination of the sectors of memory,
and i s impl emen ted usi ng sta ndar d EPR OM pro gram -
mers.
The system can place the device into the standby mode.

SPECIAL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Processing
Do not expose KGD products to ultraviolet light or
process them at temperatures greater than 250°C.
Failure to adhere to these handling instructions will
result in irreparable damage to the devices. For best
yield, AMD recommends assembly in a Class 10K
clean room with 30% to 60% relative humidity.
Storage
Store at a maximum temperature of 30°C in a nitrogen-
purged cabinet or vacuum-sealed bag. Observe all
standard ESD handling procedures.
