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 com-
mand. When the time-out is complete, DQ3 switches
from 鈥?鈥?to 鈥?.鈥?If the time between additional sector
erase commands from the system can be assumed to
be less than 50
碌s,
the system need not monitor DQ3.
See also the 鈥淪ector Erase Command Sequence鈥?sec-
tion.
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
erase command. If DQ3 is high on the second status
check, the last command might not have been ac-
cepted. Table 6 shows the outputs for DQ3.

Notes:
1. Read toggle bit twice to determine whether or not it is
toggling. See text.
2. Recheck toggle bit because it may stop toggling as DQ5
