DESCRIPTION

The CAT93C46/56/57/66/86 are 1K/2K/2K/4K/16K-bit

Serial EEPROM memory devices which are configured

as either registers of 16 bits (ORG pin at VCC) or 8 bits

(ORG pin at GND). Each register can be written (or read)

serially by using the DI (or DO) pin. The CAT93C46/56/

57/66/86 are manufactured using Catalyst’s advanced

SOIC Package (S,V)

DEVICE OPERATION

The CAT93C46/56(57)66/86 is a 1024/2048/4096/

16,384-bit nonvolatile memory intended for use with

industry standard microprocessors. The CAT93C46/56/

57/66/86 can be organized as either registers of 16 bits

or 8 bits. When organized as X16, seven 9-bit instruc-

tions for 93C46; seven 10-bit instructions for 93C57;

seven 11-bit instructions for 93C56 and 93C66; seven

13-bit instructions for 93C86; control the reading, writing

and erase operations of the device. When organized as

X8, seven 10-bit instructions for 93C46; seven 11-bit

instructions for 93C57; seven 12-bit instructions for

93C56 and 93C66: seven 14-bit instructions for 93C86;

control the reading, writing and erase operations of the

device. The CAT93C46/56/57/66/86 operates on a single

power supply and will generate on chip, the high voltage

required during any write operation.

Instructions, addresses, and write data are clocked into

the DI pin on the rising edge of the clock (SK). The DO

pin is normally in a high impedance state except when

reading data from the device, or when checking the

ready/busy status after a write operation.

The ready/busy status can be determined after the start

of a write operation by selecting the device (CS high) and

polling the DO pin; DO low indicates that the write

operation is not completed, while DO high indicates that

the device is ready for the next instruction. If necessary,

the DO pin may be placed back into a high impedance

state during chip select by shifting a dummy “1” into the

DI pin. The DO pin will enter the high impedance state on

the falling edge of the clock (SK). Placing the DO pin into

the high impedance state is recommended in applica-

tions where the DI pin and the DO pin are to be tied

together to form a common DI/O pin.

The format for all instructions sent to the device is a

logical "1" start bit, a 2-bit (or 4-bit) opcode, 6-bit (93C46)/

/7-bit (93C57)/ 8-bit (93C56 or 93C66)/10-bit (93C86)

(an additional bit when organized X8) and for write

operations a 16-bit data field (8-bit for X8 organizations).

Note: This note is applicable only to 93C86. The Write,

Erase, Write all and Erase all instructions require PE=1.

If PE is left floating, 93C86 is in Program Enabled mode.

For Write Enable and Write Disable instruction PE=don’t

care.

Read

Upon receiving a READ command and an address

(clocked into the DI pin), the DO pin of the CAT93C46/

56/57/66/86 will come out of the high impedance state

and, after sending an initial dummy zero bit, will begin

shifting out the data addressed (MSB first). The output

data bits will toggle on the rising edge of the SK clock and

are stable after the specified time delay (tPD0 or tPD1).

For the CAT93C56/57/66/86, after the initial data word

has been shifted out and CS remains asserted with the

SK clock continuing to toggle, the device will automatically

increment to the next address and shift out the next data

word in a sequential READ mode. As long as CS is

continuously asserted and SK continues to toggle, the

device will keep incrementing to the next address

automatically until it reaches to the end of the address

space, then loops back to address 0. In the sequential

READ mode, only the initial data word is preceeded by

a dummy zero bit. All subsequent data words will follow

without a dummy zero bit.

Write

After receiving a WRITE command, address and the

data, the CS (Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a

minimum of tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the

self clocking clear and data store cycle of the memory

location specified in the instruction. The clocking of the

SK pin is not necessary after the device has entered the

self clocking mode. The ready/busy status of the

CAT93C46/56/57/66/86 can be determined by selecting

the device and polling the DO pin. Since this device

features Auto-Clear before write, it is NOT necessary to

erase a memory location before it is written into.

Erase

Upon receiving an ERASE command and address, the

CS (Chip Select) pin must be deasserted for a minimum

of tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the self clocking

clear cycle of the selected memory location. The clocking

of the SK pin is not necessary after the device has

entered the self clocking mode. The ready/busy status of

the CAT93C46/56/57/66/86 can be determined by

selecting the device and polling the DO pin. Once

cleared, the content of a cleared location returns to a

logical “1” state.

Erase/Write Enable and Disable

The CAT93C46/56/57/66/86 powers up in the write

disable state. Any writing after power-up or after an

EWDS (write disable) instruction must first be preceded

by the EWEN (write enable) instruction. Once the write

instruction is enabled, it will remain enabled until power

to the device is removed, or the EWDS instruction is

sent. The EWDS instruction can be used to disable all

CAT93C46/56/57/66/86 write and clear instructions,

and will prevent any accidental writing or clearing of the

device. Data can be read normally from the device

regardless of the write enable/disable status.

Erase All

Upon receiving an ERAL command, the CS (Chip Select)

pin must be deselected for a minimum of tCSMIN. The

falling edge of CS will start the self clocking clear cycle

of all memory locations in the device. The clocking of the

SK pin is not necessary after the device has entered the

self clocking mode. The ready/busy status of the

CAT93C46/56/57/66/86 can be determined by selecting

the device and polling the DO pin. Once cleared, the

contents of all memory bits return to a logical “1” state.

Write All

Upon receiving a WRAL command and data, the CS

(Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a minimum of

tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the self clocking

data write to all memory locations in the device. The

clocking of the SK pin is not necessary after the device

has entered the self clocking mode. (Note 1.) The ready/

busy status of the CAT93C46/56/57/66/86 can be

determined by selecting the device and polling the DO

pin. It is not necessary for all memory locations to be

cleared before the WRAL command is executed.
