Bus Operations Overview
This section provides an overview of device bus operations. The Intel
Wireless Flash Memory
(W18) family includes an on-chip WSM to manage block erase and program algorithms. Its
Command User Interface (CUI) allows minimal processor overhead with RAM-like interface
timings. Device commands are written to the CUI using standard microprocessor timings.
9.1
Bus Operations
Bus cycles to/from the W18 device conform to standard microprocessor bus operations.
Table 18summarizes the bus operations and the logic levels that must be applied to the device’s control
signal inputs.
9.1.1
Reads
Device read operations are performed by placing the desired address on A[22:0] and asserting CE#
and OE#. ADV# must be low, and WE# and RST# must be high. All read operations are
independent of the voltage level on VPP.
CE#-low selects the device and enables its internal circuits. OE#-low or WE#-low determine
whether DQ[15:0] are outputs or inputs, respectively. OE# and WE# must not be low at the same
time - indeterminate device operation will result.
In asynchronous-page mode, the rising edge of ADV# can be used to latch the address. If only
asynchronous read mode is used, ADV# can be tied to ground. CLK is not used in asynchronous-
page mode and should be tied high.
In synchronous-burst mode, ADV# is used to latch the initial address - either on the rising edge of
ADV# or the rising (or falling) edge of CLK with ADV# low, whichever occurs first. CLK is used
in synchronous-burst mode to increment the internal address counter, and to output read data on
DQ[15:0].
Each device partition can be placed in any of several read states:

Notes:
1.
WAIT is only valid during synchronous array-read operations.

X = Don’t Care (H or L).

RST# must be at VSS ± 0.2 V to meet the maximum specified power-down current.
