1. Description
The AT28HC64BF is a high-performance electrically-erasable and programmable
read-only memory (EEPROM). Its 64K of memory is organized as 8,192 words by 8
bits. Manufactured with Atmel’s advanced nonvolatile CMOS technology, the device
offers access times to 55 ns with power dissipation of just 220 mW. When the device
is deselected, the CMOS standby current is less than 100 µA.
The AT28HC64BF is accessed like a Static RAM for the read or write cycle without the
need for external components. The device contains a 64-byte page register to allow
writing of up to 64 bytes simultaneously. During a write cycle, the addresses and 1 to
64 bytes of data are internally latched, freeing the address and data bus for other
operations. Following the initiation of a write cycle, the device will automatically write
the latched data using an internal control timer. The end of a write cycle can be
detected by DATA polling of I/O7. Once the end of a write cycle has been detected, a
new access for a read or write can begin.
Atmel’s AT28HC64BF has additional features to ensure high quality and manufactura-
bility. The device utilizes internal error correction for extended endurance and
improved data retention characteristics. An optional software data protection mecha-
nism is available to guard against inadvertent writes. The device also includes an
extra 64 bytes of EEPROM for device identification or tracking.

3. Block Diagram
4. Device Operation
4.1 Read
The AT28HC64BF is accessed like a Static RAM. When CE and OE are low and WE is high, the
data stored at the memory location determined by the address pins is asserted on the outputs.
The outputs are put in the high-impedance state when either CE or OE is high. This dual line
control gives designers flexibility in preventing bus contention in their systems.
4.2 Byte Write
A low pulse on the WE or CE input with CE or WE low (respectively) and OE high initiates a write
cycle. The address is latched on the falling edge of CE or WE, whichever occurs last. The data is
latched by the first rising edge of CE or WE. Once a byte write has been started, it will automati-
cally time itself to completion. Once a programming operation has been initiated and for the
duration of tWC, a read operation will effectively be a polling operation.
4.3 Page Write
The page write operation of the AT28HC64BF allows 1 to 64 bytes of data to be written into the
device during a single internal programming period. A page write operation is initiated in the
same manner as a byte write; after the first byte is written, it can then be followed by 1 to 63
additional bytes. Each successive byte must be loaded within 150 µs (tBLC) of the previous byte.
If the tBLC limit is exceeded, the AT28HC64BF will cease accepting data and commence the
internal programming operation. All bytes during a page write operation must reside on the same
page as defined by the state of the A6 to A12 inputs. For each WE high-to-low transition during
the page write operation, A6 to A12 must be the same.
The A0 to A5 inputs specify which bytes within the page are to be written. The bytes may be
loaded in any order and may be altered within the same load period. Only bytes which are spec-
ified for writing will be written; unnecessary cycling of other bytes within the page does not occur.
4.4 DATA Polling
The AT28HC64BF features DATA Polling to indicate the end of a write cycle. During a byte or
page write cycle, an attempted read of the last byte written will result in the complement of the
written data to be presented on I/O7. Once the write cycle has been completed, true data is valid
on all outputs, and the next write cycle may begin. DATA Polling may begin at any time during
the write cycle.

4.5 Toggle Bit
In addition to DATA Polling, the AT28HC64BF provides another method for determining the end
of a write cycle. During the write operation, successive attempts to read data from the device will
result in I/O6 toggling between one and zero. Once the write has completed, I/O6 will stop tog-
gling, and valid data will be read. Toggle bit reading may begin at any time during the write cycle.
4.6 Data Protection
If precautions are not taken, inadvertent writes may occur during transitions of the host system
power supply. Atmel® has incorporated both hardware and software features that will protect the
memory against inadvertent writes.
4.6.1 Hardware Protection
Hardware features protect against inadvertent writes to the AT28HC64BF in the following ways:
(a) VCC sense – if VCC is below 3.8 V (typical), the write function is inhibited; (b) VCC power-on
delay – once VCC has reached 3.8 V, the device will automatically time out 5 ms (typical) before
allowing a write; (c) write inhibit – holding any one of OE low, CE high or WE high inhibits write
cycles; and (d) noise filter – pulses of less than 15 ns (typical) on the WE or CE inputs will not ini-
tiate a write cycle.
4.6.2 Software Data Protection
A software-controlled data protection feature has been implemented on the AT28HC64BF.
When enabled, the software data protection (SDP), will prevent inadvertent writes. The SDP fea-
ture may be enabled or disabled by the user; the AT28HC64BF is shipped from Atmel with SDP
disabled.
SDP is enabled by the user issuing a series of three write commands in which three specific
bytes of data are written to three specific addresses (refer to the “Software Data Protection Algo-
rithm” diagram on page 10). After writing the 3-byte command sequence and waiting tWC, the
entire AT28HC64BF will be protected against inadvertent writes. It should be noted that even
after SDP is enabled, the user may still perform a byte or page write to the AT28HC64BF. This is
done by preceding the data to be written by the same 3-byte command sequence used to enable
SDP.
Once set, SDP remains active unless the disable command sequence is issued. Power transi-
tions do not disable SDP, and SDP protects the AT28HC64BF during power-up and power-
down conditions. All command sequences must conform to the page write timing specifications.
The data in the enable and disable command sequences is not actually written into the device;
their addresses may still be written with user data in either a byte or page write operation.
After setting SDP, any attempt to write to the device without the 3-byte command sequence will
start the internal write timers. No data will be written to the device, however. For the duration of
tWC, read operations will effectively be polling operations.
4.7 Device Identification
An extra 64 bytes of EEPROM memory are available to the user for device identification. By rais-
ing A9 to 12 V ±0.5 V and using address locations 1FC0H to 1FFFH, the additional bytes may
be written to or read from in the same manner as the regular memory array.
