DESCRIPTION

The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 is a 1K/2K/4K/8K/16K Bit
SPI Serial CMOS E

PROM internally organized as

128x8/256x8/512x8/1024x8/2048x8 bits. Catalyst's ad-
vanced CMOS Technology substantially reduces de-
vice power requirements. The CAT25C01/02/04 fea-
tures a 16-byte page write buffer. The 25C08/16 fea-
tures a 32-byte page write buffer.The device operates
via the SPI bus serial interface and is enabled though a
Chip Select (

). In addition to the Chip Select, the clock

input (SCK), data in (SI) and data out (SO) are required
to access the device. The

HOLD

pin may be used to

suspend any serial communication without resetting the
serial sequence. The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 is de-
signed with software and hardware write protection
features including Block Write protection. The device is
available in 8-pin DIP, 8-pin SOIC, 8-pin MSOP and 8/
14-pin TSSOP packages.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 supports the SPI bus data
transmission protocol. The synchronous Serial Periph-
eral Interface (SPI) helps the CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 to
interface directly with many of today's popular
microcontrollers. The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 contains
an 8-bit instruction register. (The instruction set and the
operation codes are detailed in the instruction set table)

After the device is selected with

going low, the first

byte will be received. The part is accessed via the SI pin,
with data being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK.
The first byte contains one of the six op-codes that define
the operation to be performed.

PIN DESCRIPTION

SI: Serial Input
SI is the serial data input pin. This pin is used to input all
opcodes, byte addresses, and data to be written to the
25C01/02/04/08/16. Input data is latched on the rising
edge of the serial clock for SPI modes (0, 0 & 1, 1).

SO: Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the 25C01/02/04/08/16. During a
read cycle, data is shifted out on the falling edge of the
serial clock for SPI modes (0,0 & 1,1).

SCK: Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchro-
nize the communication between the microcontroller
and the 25C01/02/04/08/16. Opcodes, byte addresses,

or data present on the SI pin are latched on the rising
edge of the SCK. Data on the SO pin is updated on the
falling edge of the SCK for SPI modes (0,0 & 1,1) .

: Chip Select

is the Chip select pin.

low enables the CAT25C01/

02/04/08/16 and

high disables the CAT25C01/02/

04/08/16.

high takes the SO output pin to high

impedance and forces the devices into a Standby Mode
(unless an internal write operation is underway) The
CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 draws ZERO current in the
Standby mode. A high to low transition on

is required

prior to any sequence being initiated. A low to high
transition on

after a valid write sequence is what

initiates an internal write cycle.

: Write Protect

is the Write Protect pin. The Write Protect pin will

allow normal read/write operations when held high.
When

is tied low and the WPEN bit in the status

going low while

is still low

will interrupt a write to the status register. If the internal
write cycle has already been initiated,

going low will

have no effect on any write operation to the status
register. The

pin function is blocked when the WPEN

bit is set to 0. Figure 10 illustrates the

timing

sequence during a write operation.

(Ready) bit indicates whether the CAT25C01/

02/04/08/16 is busy with a write operation. When set to
1 a write cycle is in progress and when set to 0 the device
indicates it is ready. This bit is read onlyThe WEL (Write
Enable) bit indicates the status of the write enable latch.
When set to 1, the device is in a Write Enable state and
when set to 0 the device is in a Write Disable state. The
WEL bit can only be set by the WREN instruction and can
be reset by the WRDI instruction.

DEVICE OPERATION

Write Enable and Disable
The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 contains a write enable
latch. This latch must be set before any write operation.
The device powers up in a write disable state when V

is applied. WREN instruction will enable writes (set the
latch) to the device. WRDI instruction will disable

The BP0 and BP1 (Block Protect) bits indicate which
blocks are currently protected. These bits are set by the
user issuing the WRSR instruction. The user is allowed
to protect quarter of the memory, half of the memory or
the entire memory by setting these bits. Once protected
the user may only read from the protected portion of the
array. These bits are non-volatile.

The WPEN (Write Protect Enable) is an enable bit for the

pin. The

pin and WPEN bit in the status register

control the programmable hardware write protect fea-
ture. Hardware write protection is enabled when

low and WPEN bit is set to high. The user cannot write
to the status register, (including the block protect bits
and the WPEN bit) and the block protected sections in
the memory array when the chip is hardware write
protected. Only the sections of the memory array that
are not block protected can be written. Hardware write
protection is disabled when either

pin is high or the

WPEN bit is zero.

writes(reset the latch) to the device. Disabling writes
will protect the device against inadvertent writes.

READ Sequence
The part is selected by pulling

low. The 8-bit read

instruction is transmitted to the CAT25C01/02/04/08/
16, followed by the 16-bit address for 25C08/16. (only
10-bit addresses are used for 25C08, 11-bit addresses
are used for 25C16. The rest of the bits are don't care
bits) and 8-bit address for 25C01/02/04 (for the 25C04,
bit 3 of the read data instruction contains address A8).

After the correct read instruction and address are sent,
the data stored in the memory at the selected address
is shifted out on the SO pin. The data stored in the
memory at the next address can be read sequentially by
continuing to provide clock pulses. The internal ad-
dress pointer is automatically incremented to the next
higher address after each byte of data is shifted out.
When the highest address is reached, the address
counter rolls over to 0000h allowing the read cycle to be
continued indefinitely. The read operation is terminated
by pulling the

high. To read the status register,

RDSR instruction should be sent. The contents of the
status register are shifted out on the SO line. The status
register may be read at any time even during a write
cycle. Read sequece is illustrated in Figure 4. Reading
status register is illustrated in Figure 5.

Byte Write
Once the device is in a Write Enable state, the user may
proceed with a write sequence by setting the

low,

issuing a write instruction via the SI line, followed by the
16-bit address for 25C08/16. (only 10-bit addresses are
used for 25C08, 11-bit addresses are used for 25C16.
The rest of the bits are don't care bits) and 8-bit address
for 25C01/02/04 (for the 25C04, bit 3 of the read data
instruction contains address A8). Programming will start
after the

is brought high. Figure 6 illustrates byte

write sequence.

WRITE Sequence
The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 powers up in a Write Dis-
able state. Prior to any write instructions, the WREN
instruction must be sent to CAT25C01/02/04/08/16.
The device goes into Write enable state by pulling the

low and then clocking the WREN instruction into

CAT25C01/02/04/08/16. The

must be brought high

after the WREN instruction to enable writes to the
device. If the write operation is initiated immediately
after the WREN instruction without

being brought

high, the data will not be written to the array because the
write enable latch will not have been properly set. Also,
for a successful write operation the address of the
memory location(s) to be programmed must be outside
the protected address field location selected by the
block protection level.

remain constant.The only restriction is that the X (X=16
for 25C01/02/04 and X=32 for 25C08/16) bytes must
reside on the same page. If the address counter
reaches the end of the page and clock continues, the
counter will "roll over" to the first address of the page and
overwrite any data that may have been written. The
CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 is automatically returned to the
write disable state at the completion of the write cycle.
Figure 8 illustrates the page write sequence.

To write to the status register, the WRSR instruction
should be sent. Only Bit 2, Bit 3 and Bit 7 of the status
register can be written using the WRSR instruction.
Figure 7 illustrates the sequence of writing to status
register.

During an internal write cycle, all commands will be
ignored except the RDSR (Read Status Register) in-
struction.

The Status Register can be read to determine if the write
cycle is still in progress. If Bit 0 of the Status Register is
set at 1, write cycle is in progress. If Bit 0 is set at 0, the
device is ready for the next instruction

Page Write
The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 features page write capa-
bility. After the initial byte, the host may continue to write
up to 16 bytes of data to the CAT25C01/02/04 and 32
bytes of data for 25C08/16. After each byte of data
received, lower order address bits are internally
incremented by one; the high order bits of address will

an invalid op code is received, no data will be shifted
into the CAT25C01/02/04/08/16, and the serial output
