1 START 1101 IN FWH4 must be active (low) for the part to respond. Only the
last start field (before FWH4 transitions high) should be recog-
nized. The START field contents indicate a FWH memory
Read cycle.
2 IDSEL 0000 to 1111 IN Indicates which FWH device should respond. If the to IDSEL (ID
select) field matches the value ID[3:0], then that particular device will
respond to the whole bus cycle.
3-9 IMADDR YYYY IN These seven clock cycles make up the 28-bit memory address.
YYYY is one nibble of the entire address. Addresses are trans-
ferred most-significant nibble first.
10 IMSIZE 0000 (1 byte) IN A field of this size indicates how many bytes will be or trans-
ferred during multi-byte operations. The SST49LF008A will only
support single-byte operation. IMSIZE=0000b
11 TAR0 1111 IN
then Float
In this clock cycle, the master (Intel ICH) has driven the bus
then float to all ‘1’s and then floats the bus, prior to the next
clock cycle. This is the first part of the bus “turnaround cycle.”
12 TAR1 1111 (float) Float
then OUT
The SST49LF008A takes control of the bus during this cycle.
During the next clock cycle, it will be driving “sync data.”
13 RSYNC 0000 (READY) OUT During this clock cycle, the FWH will generate a “ready-sync”
(RSYNC) indicating that the least-significant nibble of the least-
significant byte will be available during the next clock cycle.
14 DATA YYYY OUT YYYY is the least-significant nibble of the least-significant data byte.
15 DATA YYYY OUT YYYY is the most-significant nibble of the least-significant data byte.
16 TAR0 1111 OUT
then Float
In this clock cycle, the SST49LF008A has driven the bus to all
ones and then floats the bus prior to the next clock cycle. This
is the first part of the bus “turnaround cycle.”
17 TAR1 1111 (float) Float then

The master (Intel ICH) resumes control of the bus during this

1 START 1110 IN FWH4 must be active (low) for the part to respond. Only
the last start field (before FWH4 transitions high) should
be recognized. The START field contents indicate a FWH
memory Read cycle.
2 IDSEL 0000 to 1111 IN Indicates which SST49LF008A device should respond.
If the IDSEL (ID select) field matches the value
ID[3:0], then that particular device will respond to the
whole bus cycle.
3-9 IMADDR YYYY IN These seven clock cycles make up the 28-bit memory
address. YYYY is one nibble of the entire address.
Addresses are transferred most-significant nibble first.
10 IMSIZE 0000 (1 byte) IN This size field indicates how many bytes will be trans-
ferred during multi-byte operations. The FWH only
supports single-byte writes. IMSIZE=0000b
11 DATA YYYY IN This field is the least-significant nibble of the data byte.
This data is either the data to be programmed into the
flash memory or any valid flash command.
12 DATA YYYY IN This field is the most-significant nibble of the data byte.
13 TAR0 1111 IN then Float In this clock cycle, the master (Intel ICH) has driven the
then float bus to all ‘1’s and then floats the bus prior to
the next clock cycle. This is the first part of the bus “turn-
around cycle.”
14 TAR1 1111 (float) Float then OUT The SST49LF008A takes control of the bus during this
cycle. During the next clock cycle it will be driving the
“sync” data.
15 RSYNC 0000 OUT The SST49LF008A outputs the values 0000, indicating
that it has received data or a flash command.
16 TAR0 1111 OUT then Float In this clock cycle, the SST49LF008A has driven the bus
to all then float ‘1’s and then floats the bus prior to the
next clock cycle. This is the first part of the bus “turn-
around cycle.”
17 TAR1 1111 (float) Float then IN The master (Intel ICH) resumes control of the bus during this

Abort Mechanism
If FWH4 is driven low for one or more clock cycles during a FWH cycle, the cycle will be terminated
and the device will wait for the ABORT command. The host may drive the FWH[3:0] with ‘1111b’
(ABORT command) to return the device to Ready mode. If abort occurs during a Write operation, the
data may be incorrectly altered.
Response To Invalid Fields
During FWH operations, the FWH will not explicitly indicate that it has received invalid field sequences.
The response to specific invalid fields or sequences is as follows:
Address out of range:
The FWH address sequence is 7 fields long (28 bits), but only the last five address fields (20 bits) will
be decoded by SST49LF008A.
Address A
22
has the special function of directing reads and writes to the flash core (A
22
=1) or to the
register space (A
22
=0).
Invalid IMSIZE field:
If the FWH receives an invalid size field during a Read or Write operation, the device will reset and no
operation will be attempted. The SST49LF008A will not generate any kind of response in this situation.
Invalid-size fields for a Read/Write cycle are anything but 0000b.
Device Memory Hardware Write Protection
The Top Boot Lock (TBL#) and Write Protect (WP#) pins are provided for hardware write protection of
device memory in the SST49LF008A. The TBL# pin is used to write protect 16 boot sectors (64 KByte)
at the highest flash memory address range for the SST49LF008A. WP# pin write protects the remain-
ing sectors in the flash memory.
An active low signal at the TBL# pin prevents Program and Erase operations of the top boot sectors.
When TBL# pin is held high, write protection of the top boot sectors is then determined by the Boot
Block Locking register. The WP# pin serves the same function for the remaining sectors of the device
memory. The TBL# and WP# pins write protection functions operate independently of one another.
Both TBL# and WP# pins must be set to their required protection states prior to starting a Program or
Erase operation. A logic level change occurring at the TBL# or WP# pin during a Program or Erase
operation could cause unpredictable results. TBL# and WP# pins cannot be left unconnected.
TBL# is internally OR’ed with the top Boot Block Locking register. When TBL# is low, the top Boot
Block is hardware write protected regardless of the state of the Write-Lock bit for the Boot Block Lock-
ing register. Clearing the Write-Protect bit in the register when TBL# is low will have no functional
effect, even though the register may indicate that the block is no longer locked.
WP# is internally OR’ed with the Block Locking register. When WP# is low, the blocks are hardware
write protected regardless of the state of the Write-Lock bit for the corresponding Block Locking regis-
ters. Clearing the Write-Protect bit in any register when WP# is low will have no functional effect, even
though the register may indicate that the block is no longer locked.
