Function
2.1 Chip Select (CS)
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B is selected when the Chip Select (CS) pin is low. When the device is
not selected, data will not be accepted via the Serial Data Input (SI) pin, and the Serial Output (SO) pin will remain in
a high‑impedance state.
To ensure robust operation, the CS pin should follow VCC upon power-up. It is therefore recommended to connect CS
to VCC using a pull-up resistor (less than or equal to 10 kΩ). After power-up, a low level on CS is required prior to any
sequence being initiated.
2.2 Serial Data Output (SO)
The Serial Data Output (SO) pin is used to transfer data out of the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B.
During a read sequence, data is shifted out on this pin after the falling edge of the Serial Data Clock (SCK).
2.3 Write-Protect (WP)
The Write-Protect (WP) pin will allow normal read/write operations when held high. When the WP pin is brought low
and the WPEN bit is set to a logic ‘1’, all write operations to the STATUS register are inhibited. WP going low while
CS is still low will interrupt a write operation to the STATUS register. If the internal write cycle has already been
initiated, WP going low will have no effect on any write operation to the STATUS register. The WP pin function is
blocked when the WPEN bit in the STATUS register is set to a logic ‘0’. This will allow the user to install the
AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B in a system with the WP pin tied to ground and still be able to write to the
STATUS register. All WP pin functions are enabled when the WPEN bit is set to a logic ‘1’.
2.4 Ground (GND)
The ground reference for the Device Power Supply (VCC). The Ground (GND) pin should be connected to the system
ground.
The Serial Data Input (SI) pin is used to transfer data into the device. It receives instructions, addresses and data.
Data is latched on the rising edge of the Serial Data Clock (SCK).
2.6 Serial Data Clock (SCK)
The Serial Data Clock (SCK) pin is used to synchronize the communication between a master and the AT25080B/
AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B. Instructions, addresses or data present on the Serial Data Input (SI) pin is latched
in on the rising edge of SCK, while output on the Serial Data Output (SO) pin is clocked out on the falling edge of
SCK.
2.7 Suspend Serial Input (HOLD)
The Suspend Serial Input (HOLD) pin is used in conjunction with the Chip Select (CS) pin to pause the AT25080B/
AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B. When the device is selected and a serial sequence is underway, HOLD can be
used to pause the serial communication with the master device without resetting the serial sequence. To pause, the
HOLD pin must be brought low while the Serial Data Clock (SCK) pin is low. To resume serial communication, the
HOLD pin is brought high while the SCK pin is low (SCK may still toggle during HOLD). Inputs to the Serial Data
Input (SI) pin will be ignored while the Serial Data Output (SO) pin will be in the high‑impedance state.
Pin Description
2.8 Device Power Supply (VCC)
The Device Power Supply (VCC) pin is used to supply the source voltage to the device. Operations at invalid V
voltages may produce spurious results and should not be attempted.
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B provides 8,192/16,384/32,768/65,536 bits of Serial Electrically
Erasable and Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) organized as 1,024/2,048/4,096/8,192 words of 8 bits
each. The device is optimized for use in many industrial and commercial applications where low‑power and
low‑voltage operation are essential. The device is available in space-saving 8‑lead SOIC, 8‑lead TSSOP and 8‑pad
UDFN packages. All packages operate from 1.7V to 5.5V.

Electrical Characteristics
4.6 Electrical Specifications
4.6.1 Power-Up Requirements and Reset Behavior
During a power-up sequence, the VCC supplied to the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B should
monotonically rise from GND to the minimum VCC level, as specified in Table 4-1, with a slew rate no faster than
0.1 V/µs.
4.6.1.1 Device Reset
To prevent inadvertent write operations or any other spurious events from occurring during a power-up sequence, the
AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B includes a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit. Upon power-up, the device will
not respond to any instructions until the VCC level crosses the internal voltage threshold (V
out of Reset and into Standby mode.
The system designer must ensure the instructions are not sent to the device until the VCC supply has reached a
stable value greater than or equal to the minimum VCC level. Additionally, once the VCC is greater than or equal to the
minimum VCC level, the bus master must wait at least t
4-4 for the values associated with these power-up parameters.

4.6.4 Software Reset
The SPI interface of the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B can be reset by toggling the CS input. If the CS
line is already in the Active state, it must complete a transition from the Inactive state (≥VIH) to the Active state (≤VIL)
and then back to the Inactive state (≥VIH) without sending clocks on the SCK line. Upon completion of this sequence,
the device will be ready to receive a new opcode on the SI line.

4.6.5 Device Default State at Power-Up
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B default state upon power-up consists of:
• Standby Power mode
• A high-to-low-level transition on CS is required to enter Active state
• Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the STATUS register = 0
• Ready/Busy bit in the STATUS register = 0, indicating the device is ready to accept a new command
• Device is not selected
• Not in Hold condition
• WPEN, BP1 and BP0 bits in the STATUS register are unchanged from their previous state due to the fact that
they are nonvolatile values
4.6.6 Device Default Condition
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B is shipped from Microchip to the customer with the EEPROM array
set to an all FFh data pattern (logic ‘1’ state). The Write-Protect Enable bit in the STATUS register is set to logic ‘0’
and the Block Write‑Protect bits in the STATUS register are set to logic ‘0’.
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B is controlled by a set of instructions that are sent from a host
controller, commonly referred to as the SPI Master. The SPI Master communicates with the AT25080B/AT25160B/
AT25320B/AT25640B via the SPI bus which is comprised of four signal lines: Chip Select (CS), Serial Data Clock
(SCK), Serial Data Input (SI) and Serial Data Output (SO).
The SPI protocol defines a total of four modes of operation (Mode 0, 1, 2 or 3) with each mode differing in respect to
the SCK polarity and phase and how the polarity and phase control the flow of data on the SPI bus. The AT25080B/
AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B supports the two most common modes, SPI Modes 0 and 3. With SPI Modes 0 and
3, data is always latched in on the rising edge of SCK and always output on the falling edge of SCK. The only
difference between SPI Modes 0 and 3 is the polarity of the SCK signal when in the Inactive state (when the SPI
Master is in Standby mode and not transferring any data). SPI Mode 0 is defined as a low SCK while
asserted (at VCC) and SPI Mode 3 has SCK high in the Inactive state. The SCK Idle state must match when the CS is
deasserted both before and after the communication sequence in SPI Mode 0 and 3. The figures in this document
depict Mode 0 with a solid line on SCK while CS is inactive and Mode 3 with a dotted line.

5.1 Interfacing the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B on the SPI Bus
Communication to and from the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B must be initiated by the SPI Master
device, such as a microcontroller. The SPI Master device must generate the serial clock for the AT25080B/
AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B on the Serial Data Clock (SCK) pin. The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/
AT25640B always operates as a slave due to the fact that the SCK is always an input.
5.1.1 Selecting the Device
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B is selected when the Chip Select (CS) pin is low. When the device is
not selected, data will not be accepted via the Serial Data Input (SI) pin, and the Serial Data Output (SO) pin will
remain in a high‑impedance state.
5.1.2 Sending Data to the Device
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B uses the SI pin to receive information. All instructions, addresses
and data input bytes are clocked into the device with the Most Significant bit (MSb) first. The SI pin samples on the
first rising edge of the SCK line after the CS has been asserted.
5.1.3 Receiving Data from the Device
Data output from the device is transmitted on the SO pin, with the MSb output first. The SO data is latched on the first
falling edge of SCK after the instruction has been clocked into the device, such as the Read from Memory Array
(READ) and Read STATUS Register (RDSR) instructions. See Read Sequence for more details.
After the device is selected by driving CS low, the first byte will be received on the SI pin. This byte contains the
opcode that defines the operation to be performed. Refer to Table 6-1 for a list of all opcodes that the AT25080B/
AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B will respond to.
5.2.2 Invalid Opcode
If an invalid opcode is received, no data will be shifted into AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B and the SO
pin will remain in a high-impedance state until the falling edge of CS is detected again. This will reinitialize the serial
communication.
5.3 Hold Function
The Suspend Serial Input (HOLD) pin is used to pause the serial communication with the device without having to
stop or reset the clock sequence. The Hold mode, however, does not have an effect on the internal write cycle.
Therefore, if a write cycle is in progress, asserting the HOLD pin will not pause the operation and the write cycle will
continue to completion.
The Hold mode can only be entered while the
pin during the SCK low pulse. If the HOLD pin is asserted during the SCK high pulse, then the Hold mode will not be
started until the beginning of the next SCK low pulse. The device will remain in the Hold mode as long as the HOLD
pin and CS pin are asserted.
While in Hold mode, the SO pin will be in a high-impedance state. In addition, both the SI pin and the SCK pin will be
ignored. The Write-Protect (WP) pin, however, can still be asserted or deasserted while in the Hold mode.
To end the Hold mode and resume serial communication, the
pulse. If the HOLD pin is deasserted during the SCK high pulse, then the Hold mode will not end until the beginning
of the next SCK low pulse.
If the CS pin is deasserted while the HOLD pin is still asserted, then any operation that may have been started will be
aborted and the device will reset the WEL bit in the STATUS register back to the logic ‘0’ state.
Figure 5-2. Hold Mode

Device Operation
CS pin is asserted. The Hold mode is activated by asserting the HOLD
The Write-Protect (WP) pin will allow normal read and write operations when held high. When the WP pin is brought
low and WPEN bit is a logic ‘1’, all write operations to the STATUS register are inhibited. The WP pin going low while
CS is still low will interrupt a Write STATUS Register (WRSR). If the internal write cycle has already been initiated, WP
going low will have no effect on any write operation to the STATUS register. The WP pin function is blocked when the
WPEN bit in the STATUS register is a logic ‘0’. This will allow the user to install the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/
AT25640B device in a system with the WP pin tied to ground and still be able to write to the STATUS register. All WP
pin functions are enabled when the WPEN bit is set to a logic ‘1’.
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B is designed to interface directly with the synchronous Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI). The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B utilizes an 8‑bit instruction register. The
list of instructions and their operation codes are contained in Table 6-1. All instructions, addresses and data are
transferred with the MSb first and start with a high‑to‑low
Table 6-1. Instruction Set for the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B includes an 8‑bit STATUS register. The STATUS register bits
modulate various features of the device as shown in Table 6-2 and Table 6-3. These bits can be changed by specific
instructions that are detailed in the following sections.

Reads as zeros when the device is not in a write cycle
The Read STATUS Register (RDSR) instruction provides access to the STATUS register. The ready/busy and write
enable status of the device can be determined by the RDSR instruction. Similarly, the Block Write-Protect (BP1, BP0)
bits indicate the extent of memory array protection employed. The STATUS register is read by asserting the CS pin,
followed by sending in a 05h opcode on the SI pin. Upon completion of the opcode, the device will return the 8‑bit
STATUS register value on the SO pin.
Figure 6-1. RDSR Waveform
Device Commands and Addressing
6.3 Write Enable (WREN) and Write Disable (WRDI)
Enabling and disabling writing to the STATUS register and EEPROM array is accomplished through the Write Enable
(WREN) instruction and the Write Disable (WRDI) instruction. These functions change the status of the WEL bit in the
STATUS register.
6.3.1 Write Enable Instruction (WREN)
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the STATUS register must be set to a logic ‘1’ prior to each Write STATUS
Register (WRSR) and Write to Memory Array (WRITE) instructions. This is accomplished by sending a WREN (06h)
instruction to the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B. First, the CS pin is driven low to select the device and
then a WREN instruction is clocked in on the SI pin. Then the CS pin can be driven high and the WEL bit will be
updated in the STATUS register to a logic ‘1’. The device will power‑up in the Write Disable state (WEL = 0).
To protect the device against inadvertent writes, the Write Disable (WRDI) instruction (opcode 04h) disables all
programming modes by setting the WEL bit to a logic ‘0’. The WRDI instruction is independent of the status of the WP
pin.
Figure 6-3. WRDI Timing
Device Commands and Addressing
6.4 Write STATUS Register (WRSR)
The Write STATUS Register (WRSR) instruction enables the SPI Master to change selected bits of the STATUS
register. Before a WRSR instruction can be initiated, a WREN instruction must be executed to set the WEL bit to
logic ‘1’. Upon completion of a WREN instruction, a WRSR instruction can be executed.
Note: The WRSR instruction has no effect on bit 6, bit 5, bit 4, bit 1 and bit 0 of the STATUS register. Only bit 7, bit 3
and bit 2 can be changed via the WRSR instruction. These modifiable bits are the Write-Protect Enable (WPEN) and
Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits. These three bits are nonvolatile bits that have the same properties and functions as
regular EEPROM cells. Their values are retained while power is removed from the device.
The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B will not respond to commands other than a RDSR after a WRSR
instruction until the self‑timed internal write cycle has completed. When the write cycle is completed, the WEL bit in
the STATUS register is reset to logic ‘0’.
1.This instruction initiates a self-timed internal write cycle (tWC) on the rising edge of CS after a valid sequence.
6.4.1 Block Write-Protect Function
The WRSR instruction allows the user to select one of four possible combinations as to how the memory array will be
inhibited from writing through changing the Block Write-Protect bits (BP1, BP0). The four levels of array protection
are:
• None of the memory array is protected.
• Upper quarter (¼) address range is write-protected meaning the highest order address bits are read-only.
• Upper half (½) address range is write-protected meaning the highest order address bits are read-only.
• All of the memory array is write-protected meaning all address bits are read-only.
The Block Write Protection levels and corresponding STATUS register control bits are shown in Table 6-4.

6.4.2 Write-Protect Enable Function
The WRSR instruction also allows the user to enable or disable the Write-Protect (WP) pin through the use of the
Write-Protect Enable (WPEN) bit. When the WPEN bit is set to logic ‘0’, the ability to write the EEPROM array is
dictated by the values of the Block Write-Protect (BP1, BP0) bits. The ability to write the STATUS register is
controlled by the WEL bit. When the WPEN bit is set to logic ‘1’, the STATUS register is read-only.
Hardware Write Protection is enabled when both the WP pin is low and the WPEN bit has been set to a logic ‘1’.
When the device is Hardware Write‑Protected, writes to the STATUS register, including the Block Write‑Protect, WEL
and WPEN bits and to the sections in the memory array selected by the Block Write‑Protect bits are disabled. When
Hardware Write Protection is enabled, writes are only allowed to sections of the memory that are not block‑protected.
Hardware Write Protection is disabled when either the WP pin is high or the WPEN bit is a logic ‘0’. When Hardware
Write Protection is disabled, writes are only allowed to sections of the memory that are not block‑protected. Refer to
Reading the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B via the SO pin requires the following sequence. After the
CS line is pulled low to select a device, the READ (03h) instruction is transmitted via the SI line followed by the 16‑bit
address to be read. Refer to Table 7-1 for the address bits for AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B.
Upon completion of the 16‑bit address, any data on the SI line will be ignored. The data (D7‑D0) at the specified
address is then shifted out onto the SO line. If only one byte is to be read, the CS line should be driven high after the
data comes out. The read sequence can be continued since the byte address is automatically incremented and data
will continue to be shifted out. When the highest‑order address bit is reached, the address counter will rollover to the
lowest‑order address bit allowing the entire memory to be read in one continuous read cycle regardless of the starting
address.
In order to program the AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B, two separate instructions must be executed.
First, the device must be write enabled via the Write Enable (WREN) instruction. Then, one of the two possible write
sequences described in this section may be executed.
Note: If the device is not Write Enabled (WREN), the device will ignore the WRITE instruction and will return to the
standby state when
The address of the memory location(s) to be programmed must be outside the protected address field location
selected by the block write protection level. During an internal write cycle, all commands will be ignored except the
RDSR instruction. Refer to Table 8-1 for the address bits for AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B.

8.1 Byte Write
A byte write requires the following sequence and is depicted in Figure 8-1. After the CS line is pulled low to select the
device, the WRITE (02h) instruction is transmitted via the SI line followed by the 16‑bit address and the data (D7‑D0)
to be programmed. Programming will start after the CS pin is brought high. The low‑to‑high transition of the CS pin
must occur during the SCK low time (Mode 0) and SCK high time (Mode 3) immediately after clocking in the D0
(LSB) data bit. The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B is automatically returned to the Write Disable state
(STATUS register bit WEL = 0) at the completion of a write cycle.

Note:
1.This instruction initiates a self-timed internal write cycle (tWC) on the rising edge of CS after a valid sequence.
8.2 Page Write
A page write sequence allows up to 32 bytes to be written in the same write cycle, provided that all bytes are in the
same row of the memory array. Partial page writes of less than 32 bytes are allowed. After each byte of data is
received, the five lowest order address bits are internally incremented following the receipt of each data byte. The
higher order address bits are not incremented and retain the memory array page location. If more bytes of data are
transmitted than will fit to the end of that memory row, the address counter will rollover to the beginning of the same
row. Nevertheless, creating a rollover event should be avoided as previously loaded data in the page could become
unintentionally altered. The AT25080B/AT25160B/AT25320B/AT25640B is automatically returned to the Write Disable
state (WEL = 0) at the completion of a write cycle.
1.This instruction initiates a self‑timed internal write cycle (tWC) on the rising edge of CS after a valid sequence.
8.3 Polling Routine
A polling routine can be implemented to optimize time‑sensitive applications that would not prefer to wait the fixed
maximum write cycle time (tWC). This method allows the application to know immediately when the write cycle has
completed to start a subsequent operation.
Once the internally-timed write cycle has started, a polling routine can be initiated. This involves repeatedly sending a
Read STATUS Register (RDSR) instruction to determine if the device has completed its self-timed internal write cycle.
If the RDY/BSY bit (bit 0 of STATUS register) = 1, the write cycle is still in progress. If bit 0 = 0, the write cycle has
ended. If the RDY/BSY bit = 1, repeated RDSR commands can be executed until the RDY/BSY bit = 0, signaling that
the device is ready to execute a new instruction. Only the Read STATUS Register (RDSR) instruction is enabled
during the write cycle.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today,
when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.
• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these
methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating
specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of
intellectual property.
• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code
protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection
features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you
may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
