COMMON FLASH MEMORY INTERFACE

(CFI)

The Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification out-

lines device and host system software interrogation

handshake, which allows specific vendor-specified

software algorithms to be used for entire families of de-

v i c e s . So ft war e s upp or t c a n the n b e dev i c e -

independent, JEDEC ID-independent, and forward-

and backward-compatible for the specified flash device

families. Flash vendors can standardize their existing

interfaces for long-term compatibility.

This device enters the CFI Query mode when the sys-

tem writes the CFI Query command, 98h, to address

55h in double word mode (or address AAh in word

mode), any time the device is ready to read array data.

The system can read CFI information at the addresses

given in Tables 9–12. To terminate reading CFI data,

the system must write the reset command.

The system can also write the CFI query command

when the device is in the autoselect mode. The device

enters the CFI query mode, and the system can read

CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 9–12. The

system must write the reset command to return the de-

vice to the autoselect mode.

For further information, please refer to the CFI Specifi-

cation and CFI Publication 100, available via the World

Wide Web at http://www.amd.com/flash/cfi. Alterna-

tively, contact an AMD representative for copies of

these documents.
