The CAT28LV256 is a fast, low power, low voltage
CMOS Parallel E2PROM organized as 32K x 8-bits. It
requires a simple interface for in-system programming.
On-chip address and data latches, self-timed write cycle
with auto-clear and VCC power up/down write protection
eliminate additional timing and protection hardware.
DATA Polling and Toggle status bits signal the start and
end of the self-timed write cycle. Additionally, the
CAT28LV256 features hardware and software write
protection.

advanced CMOS floating gate technology. It is designed
to endure 100,000 program/erase cycles and has a data
retention of 100 years. The device is available in JEDEC–
approved 28-pin DIP, 28-pin TSOP or 32-pin PLCC
packages.
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions outside of
those listed in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum
rating for extended periods may affect device performance and reliability.

DEVICE OPERATION
Read
Data stored in the CAT28LV256 is transferred to the
data bus when WE is held high, and both OE and CE are
held low. The data bus is set to a high impedance state
when either CE or OE goes high. This 2-line control
architecture can be used to eliminate bus contention in
a system environment.

Byte Write
A write cycle is executed when both CE and WE are low,
and OE is high. Write cycles can be initiated using eitherWE or CE, with the address input being latched on the
falling edge of WE or CE, whichever occurs last. Data,
conversely, is latched on the rising edge of WE or CE,
whichever occurs first. Once initiated, a byte write cycle
automatically erases the addressed byte and the new
data is written within 10 ms.

CAT28LV256
Page Write
The page write mode of the CAT28LV256 (essentially
an extended BYTE WRITE mode) allows from 1 to 64
bytes of data to be programmed within a single E
2
PROM
write cycle. This effectively reduces the byte-write time
by a factor of 64.
Following an initial WRITE operation (WE pulsed low, for
tWP, and then high) the page write mode can begin by
issuing sequential WE pulses, which load the address
and data bytes into a 64 byte temporary buffer. The page
address where data is to be written, specified by bits A
to A14, is latched on the last falling edge of WE. Each
byte within the page is defined by address bits A0 to A

(which can be loaded in any order) during the first and
subsequent write cycles. Each successive byte load
cycle must begin within t
BLC MAX
of the rising edge of the
preceding WE pulse. There is no page write window
limitation as long as WE is pulsed low within t
Upon completion of the page write sequence, WE must
stay high a minimum of t
BLC MAX
for the internal automatic program cycle to commence. This programming
cycle consists of an erase cycle, which erases any data
that existed in each addressed cell, and a write cycle,
which writes new data back into the cell. A page write will

only write data to the locations that were addressed and
will not rewrite the entire page.

DATADATA
DATA polling is provided to indicate the completion of
write cycle. Once a byte write or page write cycle is
initiated, attempting to read the last byte written will
output the complement of that data on I/O

In addition to the DATA Polling feature, the device can
determine the completion of a write cycle, while a write
cycle is in progress, by reading data from the device.
This results in I/O6 toggling between one and zero. Once

the write is complete, however, I/O6 stops toggling and
valid data can be read from the device.

HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION
The following hardware data protection features are
incorporated into the CAT28LV256.
(1) VCC sense provides write protection when VCC falls
below 2.0V min.
(2) A power on delay mechanism, t
(see AC charac-
INIT
teristics), provides a 5 to 10 ms delay before a write
sequence, after VCC has reached 2.4V min.
(3) Write inhibit is activated by holding any one of OE
low, CE high, or WE high.
CAT28LV256
(4) Noise pulses of less than 20 ns on the WE or CE
inputs will not result in a write cycle.
SOFTWARE DATA PROTECTION
The CAT28LV256 features a software controlled data
protection scheme which, once enabled, requires a data
algorithm to be issued to the device before a write can be
performed. The device is shipped from Catalyst with the
software protection NOT ENABLED (the CAT28LV256
is in the standard operating mode).

CAT28LV256
To activate the software data protection, the device must
be sent three write commands to specific addresses with
specific data (Figure 9). This sequence of commands
(along with subsequent writes) must adhere to the page
write timing specifications (Figure 11). Once this is done,
all subsequent byte or page writes to the device must be
preceded by this same set of write commands. The data
protection mechanism is activated until a deactivate
sequence is issued, regardless of power on/off transitions. This gives the user added inadvertent write protection on power-up in addition to the hardware protection provided.

To allow the user the ability to program the device with
an E2PROM programmer (or for testing purposes) there
is a software command sequence for deactivating the
data protection. The six step algorithm (Figure 10) will
reset the internal protection circuitry, and the device will
return to standard operating mode (Figure 12 provides
reset timing). After the sixth byte of this reset sequence
has been issued, standard byte or page writing can
commence.
