Description (Continued)
The AT28C17 is accessed like a static RAM for the read
or write cycles without the need of external components.
During a byte write, the address and data are latched internally, freeing the microprocessor addr ess and data bus
for other operations. Following the initiation of a write cycle, the device will go to a busy state and automatically
clear and write the latched data using an internal control
timer. The device includes two methods for detecting the
end of a write cycle, level detection of RDY/
DATA POLLING of I/O7. Once the end of a write cycle has
been detected, a new access for a read or a write can
begin.

Block Diagram
The CMOS technology offers fast access times of 150 ns
at low power dissipation. When the chip is deselected the
standby current is less than 100 µA.
Atmel’s 28C17 has additional features to ensure high
quality and manufacturability. The device utilizes error correction int ernally for extended e ndurance and for improved data retention characteristics. An extra 32-bytes of
2
PROM are available for device identification or tracking.

Device Operation
READ: The AT28C17 is accessed like a Static RAM.
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 a high impedance state whenever
control gives designers increased flexibility in preventing
bus contention.
BYTE WRITE: Writing data into the AT28C17 is similar to
writing into a Static RAM. A low pulse on the
input with
ates a byte write. The address location is latched on the
last falling edge of
the first rising edge. Internally, the device performs a selfclear before write. Once a byte write has been started, it
will automatically time itself to completion. Once a programming operation has been initiated and for the duration of t
operation.
FAST BYTE WRITE: The AT28C17E offers a byte write
time of 200 µs maximum. This feature allows the entire
device to be rewritten in 0.4 seconds.

DATA POLLING: The AT28C17 provides DA TA POLL-
ING to signal t he completion of a write cycle. During a
write cycle, an attempted read of the data being written

WRITE PROTECTION: Inadvertent writes to the device
are protec ted against in the following ways. (a) V

inhibited. (b) V
