DESCRIPTION
The CAT28LV64 is a low voltage, low power, CMOS
parallel E2PROM organized as 8K x 8-bits. It requires a
simple interface for in-system programming. On-chip
address and data latches, self-timed write cycle with autoclear and VCC power up/down write protection eliminate
additional timing and protection hardware. DATA Polling
and Toggle status bit signal the start and end of the selftimed write cycle. Additionally, the CAT28LV64 features
hardware and software write protection.

DEVICE OPERATION
Read
Data stored in the CAT28LV64 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 either
WE 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 5 ms.

Page Write
The page write mode of the CAT28LV64 (essentially an
extended BYTE WRITE mode) allows from 1 to 32 bytes
of data to be programmed within a single E2PROM write
cycle. This effectively reduces the byte-write time by a
factor of 32.
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 32 byte temporary buffer. The page
address where data is to be written, specified by bits A
to A12, 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.

DATA Polling
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/O7 (I/O0–I/O
are indeterminate) until the programming cycle is complete. Upon completion of the self-timed write cycle, all
I/O’s will output true data during a read cycle.

In addition to the DATA Polling feature, the device offers
an additional method for determining the completion of
a write cycle. While a write cycle is in progress, reading
data from the device will result in I/O6 toggling between
6
one and zero. However, once the write is complete, I/O
stops toggling and valid data can be read from the
device.

HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION
The following is a list of hardware data protection features that are incorporated into the CAT28LV64.
(1) VCC sense provides for write protection when V
CC
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 2.40V min.
(3) Write inhibit is activated by holding any one of OE
low, CE high or WE high.

Data Protection

(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 CAT28LV64 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 CAT28LV64 is
in the standard operating mode).

CAT28LV64
Preliminary
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.

Figure 12. Resetting Software Data Protection Timing
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.
