> A few things that I'm not clear on. First of all, under section 2.2
"Programming Pulse Width" it recommends a programming pulse width of 100 us.
However, in the timing diagram they have used a 100 ns pulse. Should that be a
100 us pulse in the timing diagram?

A programming pulse is defined as the time between the begin
programming and the end programming command...  were you've got that
100ns value?

> Next, under section 2.4.1.4, it says in bold letters "A load data command
must be given before every begin programming command". So if I understand this
correctly, after I'm done loading the data, I have to send a begin programming
command to actually program that memory location? Do I have to issue a
programming

The procedure is:

1) Load Data
2) Program pulse
3) increment Address
4) goto 1)


A program pulse is:

1) Begin programming
2) Wait n uS
3) End programming


command after every load data command before I increment the address or do I
load all the data for all the locations and then issue the begin programming
command. This doesn't make any sense. It would be a lot more logical to issue
the begin programming command BEFORE issuing the load data command and not the
other way

No.. the load data latches the data in memory and the begin programming
command
will effectively store it... every programmable device as a system like this..
firs load
and then program.

around like the specs specify. Then once all the locations are programmed,
issue the end programming command. Also, I'm not sure if I understand the
definition of "programming pulse" in that section. Are they saying that I have
to issue the End Programming command after 100us of issuing a Begin
Programming command? Again, this doesn't make any sense. Maybe I'm not reading
it
correctly. Can someone please explain.

You've probably readed it too fast... a programming data sheet should be
readed carefully....
anyway,  if you've readed this message carefully you've already got the
definition
of "programming pulse" :-)

> Then in the second table of Table 5.1shouldn't P5 and P6 be in ms like the
timing diagrams show? Also Note 2 is in contradiction to the conditions
specified under 2.1.1 of the document.
Figure 5-1 is wrong.. the correct unit is uSec
I think chapter 2.1.1 is the correct one...someone confirm this?
