READ
Read operations are initiated by both OE\ and CE\ LOW.
The read operation is terminated by either CE\ or OE\ returning
HIGH. This two line control architecture eliminates bus
contention in a system environment. The data bus will be in a
high impedance state when either OE\ or CE\ is HIGH.

DATA\ POLLING
The AS28C010 features DATA\ Polling as a method to
indicate to the host system that the byte write or page write
cycle has completed. DATA\ Polling allows a simple bit test
operation to determine the status of theAS28C010, eliminating
additional interrupt inputs or external hardware. During the
internal programming cycle, any attempt to
read the last byte written will produce the complement of that
data on I/O7 (i.e., write data = 0xxx xxxx, read data = 1xxx xxxx).
Once the programming cycle is complete, I/O7 will reflect true
data. Note: If the AS28C010 is in the protected state and an
illegal write operation is attempted DATA\ Polling will not
operate.
WRITE
Write operations are initiated when both CE\ and WE\ are
LOW and OE\ is HIGH. The AS28C010 supports both a CE\
and WE\ controlled write cycle. That is, the address is latched
by the falling edge of either CE\ or WE\, whichever occurs last.
Similarly, the data is latched internally by the rising edge of
either CE\ or WE\, whichever occurs first. A byte write
operation, once initiated, will automatically continue to
completion, typically within 5ms.
PAGE WRITE
The page write feature of the AS28C010 allows the entire
memory to be written in 5 seconds. Page write allows two to
two hundred fifty-six bytes of data to be consecutively written
to the AS28C010 prior to the commencement of the internal
programming cycle. The host can fetch data from another
device within the system during a page write operation (change
the source address), but the page address (A8 through A16)
for each subsequent valid write cycle to the part during this
operation must be the same as the initial page address.
TOGGLE BIT
The AS28C010 also provides another method for
determining when the internal write cycle is complete. During
the internal programming cycle, I/O6 will toggle from HIGH to
LOW and LOW to HIGH on subsequent attempts to read the
device. When the internal cycle is complete the toggling will
cease and the device will be accessible for additional read or
write operations.
The page write mode can be initiated during any write
operation. Following the initial byte write cycle, the host can
write an additional one to two hundred fifty six bytes in the
same manner as the first byte was written. Each successive
byte load cycle, started by the WE\ HIGH to LOW transition,
must begin within 100µs of the falling edge of the preceding
WE\. If a subsequent WE\ HIGH to LOW transition is not
detected within 100µs, the internal automatic programming cycle
will commence. There is no page write window limitation.
Effectively the page write window is infinitely wide, so long as
the host continues to access the device within the byte load
cycle time of 100µs.
WRITE
The AS28C010 provides the user two write operation
status bits. These can be used to optimize a system write cycle
time. The status bits are mapped onto the I/O bus as shown in
Figure 1.
