DESCRIPTION (cont’d)
and software handshaking with Ready/Busy, Data
Polling and Toggle Bit. The M28C17 supports 64
byte page write operation. A Sof tware Data Prot ection (SDP) is also possible using the standard
JEDEC algorithm .
PIN DESCRIPTION
Addresses (A0-A10). The address inputs select
an 8-bit memory location during a read or write
operation.
Chip Enable (
E). The chip enable input must be
low to enable all read/write operations. Wh en Chip
Enable is high, power consumption is reduced.
Output Enable (
G). The Output Enable input con-
trols the data output buffers and is used to initiate
read operations.
Data In/ Out (DQ0 - DQ7). Data is writ ten to or read
from the M28C17 through the I/O pins.
Write E nable (
W). The Write En able input cont rols
the writing of data to the M28C17.
Ready/Busy (R
B). Ready/Busy is an open drain
output that can be used to detect the end of the
internal write cycle.

The M28C17 provides two write operation status
bits and one status pin that can be used to minimize
the system write cyc le. These signals are available
on the I/O port bits DQ7 or DQ6 of the memory
during programming cycle on ly, or as the R
B signal
on a separate pin.

Data Polling bit (DQ7). During the internal write
cycle, any attempt to read the last byte written will
produce on DQ7 the complementary value of the
previously latched bit. Once the write cycle is fin-

ished the true logic value appears on DQ7 in the
read cycle.
T oggle bit ( DQ6). The M28C17 offers another way
for determining when the internal write cycle is
completed. During the internal Erase/Write cycle,
DQ6 will toggle from "0" to "1" and "1" to "0" (the
first read value is "0") on subsequent attempts to
read the memory. When the internal cycle is completed the toggling will stop and the device will be
accessible for a new Read or Write operation.
Page Load Timer Status bit (DQ5). In the Page
Write mode data may be latched by

64 bytes may be input. The Data output (DQ5)
indicates the status of the internal Page Load

Software Data Protection
The M28C17 offers a software controlled write
protection facility that allows the user to inhibit all
write modes to the device including the Chip Erase
instruction. This can be useful in protecting the
memory from inadvertent write cycles that may
WRITE AAh in
Address 555h
occur due to uncontrolled bus conditions.
The M28C17 is shipped as standard in the "unpro-
tected" state meaning that the memory contents
WRITE 55h in
Address 2AAh
can be changed as required by the user. After the
Software Data Protection enable algorithm is issued, the device enters the "Protect Mode" of
operation where no further write commands have
any effect on the memory contents. The device
remains in this mode until a valid Software Data
Protection (SDP) disable sequence is received
whereby the device reverts to its "unprotected"
state. The Software Data Protection is fully non-

To enable the Software Data Protection (S DP) the
device requires the user to write (with a Page Write)
