Figure 15: Erasing Memory in a Specified Sector

This figure shows an example of the latency when the Altera ASMI Parallel IP core is executing the erase

memory command. The latency shown does not correctly reflect the true processing time. It shows the

command only.

The IP core registers the sector_erase signal on the rising edge of the clkin signal. The address

placed on the addr[23..0] signal is a valid address in the sector that you can erase.

Ensure that the memory address to be erased appears on the addr[23..0] signal before setting

the wren and sector_erase signals to a value of one. After the IP core receives the sector erase

command, the IP core asserts the busy signal when erasing the sector.

If wren signal has a value of zero, then the sector erase operation is carried out, and the busy

signal remains deasserted.

If the memory region is protected (specified in the EPCS/EPCQ/EPCQ-L status register), the

erase operation cannot proceed, and the busy signal is deasserted. The illegal_erase port is

then asserted for two clock cycles to indicate that the erase operation has been cancelled.

If you keep the wren and sector_erase signals asserted while the busy signal is deasserted after

the IP core has finished erasing the memory, the IP core re-registers the wren and sector_erase

signals as a value of one and carries out another sector erase operation. Therefore, before the IP

core deasserts the busy signal, you must deassert the wren and sector_erase signals.

Note:

For EPCQ256/EPCQ_L256 or larger devices, the width of the addr and

read_address signals is 32 bit.

Erase Memory in Bulk on the EPCS/EPCQ/EPCQ-L256 Device

Use the bulk_erase signal to instruct the IP core to erase memory in bulk on the EPCS/EPCQ/

EPCQ_L256 device.
