DESCRIPTION
The CAT28F010 is a high speed 128K x 8-bit electrically
erasable and reprogrammable Flash memory ideally
suited for applications requiring in-system or after-sale
code updates. Electrical erasure of the full memory
contents is achieved typically within 0.5 second.
It is pin and Read timing compatible with standard
EPROM and E2PROM devices. Programming and
Erase are performed through an operation and verify
algorithm. The instructions are input via the I/O bus,

READ OPERATIONS
Read Mode
A Read operation is performed with both CE and OE low
and with WE high. VPP can be either high or low,
however, if VPP is high, the Set READ command has to
be sent before reading data (see Write Operations). The
data retrieved from the I/O pins reflects the contents of
the memory location corresponding to the state of the 17
address pins. The respective timing waveforms for the
read operation are shown in Figure 3. Refer to the AC
Read characteristics for specific timing parameters.
Signature Mode
The signature mode allows the user to identify the IC
manufacturer and the type of device while the device
resides in the target system. This mode can be activated
in either of two ways; through the conventional method
of applying a high voltage (12V) to address pin A9 or by
sending an instruction to the command register (see
Write Operations).
The conventional mode is entered as a regular READ
mode by driving the CE and OE pins low (with WE high),
and applying the required high voltage on address pin A
while all other address lines are held at VIL.
A Read cycle from address 0000H retrieves the binary
code for the IC manufacturer on outputs I/O0 to I/O7:
CATALYST Code = 00110001 (31H)
A Read cycle from address 0001H retrieves the binary
code for the device on outputs I/O0 to I/O7.
28F010 Code = 1011 0100 (B4H)
Standby Mode
With CE at a logic-high level, the CAT28F010 is placed
in a standby mode where most of the device circuitry is
disabled, thereby substantially reducing power consumption. The outputs are placed in a high-impedance
state.

WRITE OPERATIONS
The following operations are initiated by observing the
sequence specified in the Write Command Table.
Read Mode
The device can be put into a standard READ mode by
initiating a write cycle with 00H on the data bus. The
subsequent read cycles will be performed similar to a
standard EPROM or E2PROM Read.
Figure 4. A.C. Timing for Erase Operation
Signature Mode
An alternative method for reading device signature (see
Read Operations Signature Mode), is initiated by writing
the code 90H into the command register while keeping
VPP high. A read cycle from address 0000H with CE and
OE low (and WE high) will output the device signature.
CATALYST Code = 00110001 (31H)
A Read cycle from address 0001H retrieves the binary
code for the device on outputs I/O0 to I/O7.

Erase Mode
During the first Write cycle, the command 20H is written
into the command register. In order to commence the
erase operation, the identical command of 20H has to be
written again into the register. This two-step process
ensures against accidental erasure of the memory contents. The final erase cycle will be stopped at the rising
edge of WE, at which time the Erase Verify command
(A0H) is sent to the command register. During this cycle,
the address to be verified is sent to the address bus and
latched when WE goes low. An integrated stop timer
allows for automatic timing control over this operation,
eliminating the need for a maximum erase timing specification. Refer to AC Characteristics (Program/Erase)
for specific timing parameters.

Erase-Verify Mode
The Erase-verify operation is performed on every byte
after each erase pulse to verify that the bits have been

Programming Mode
The programming operation is initiated using the programming algorithm of Figure 7. During the first write
cycle, the command 40H is written into the command
register. During the second write cycle, the address of
the memory location to be programmed is latched on the
falling edge of WE, while the data is latched on the rising
edge of WE. The program operation terminates with the
next rising edge of WE. An integrated stop timer allows
for automatic timing control over this operation, eliminating the need for a maximum program timing specification. Refer to AC Characteristics (Program/Erase) for

Program-Verify Mode
A Program-verify cycle is performed to ensure that all
bits have been correctly programmed following each
byte programming operation. The specific address is
already latched from the write cycle just completed, and
stays latched until the verify is completed. The Programverify operation is initiated by writing C0H into the
command register. An internal reference generates the
necessary high voltages so that the user does not need
to modify VCC. Refer to AC Characteristics (Program/
Erase) for specific timing parameters.
Abort/Reset
An Abort/Reset command is available to allow the user
to safely abort an erase or program sequence. Two
consecutive program cycles with FFH on the data bus
will abort an erase or a program operation. The abort/
reset operation can interrupt at any time in a program or
erase operation and the device is reset to the Read
Mode.
Figure 8. Alternate A.C. Timing for Program Operation
POWER UP/DOWN PROTECTION
The CAT28F010 offers protection against inadvertent
programming during VPP and VCC power transitions.
When powering up the device there is no power-on
sequencing necessary. In other words, VPP and V
CC
may power up in any order. Additionally VPP may be
hardwired to V
independent of the state of VCC and
PPH
any power up/down cycling. The internal command
register of the CAT28F010 is reset to the Read Mode on
power up.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
To reduce the effect of transient power supply voltage
spikes, it is good practice to use a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor between VCC and VSS and VPP and VSS. These
high-frequency capacitors should be placed as close as
possible to the device for optimum decoupling.
