DESCRIPTION |
|
|
The Microchip Technology Inc. 93LC46AX/BX are 1Kbit, low voltage serial Electrically Erasable PROMs. The device memory is configured as x8 (93LC46A) or x16 bits (93LC46B). Advanced CMOS technology makes these devices ideal for low power nonvolatile memory applications. The 93LC46AX/BX is available in standard 8-pin DIP, 8-pin surface mount SOIC, and TSSOP packages. The 93LC46AX/BX are offered only in a 150-mil SOIC package.

2.0PIN DESCRIPTION
2.1Chip Select (CS)
A high level selects the device; a low level deselects the device and forces it into standby mode. However, a programming cycle which is already in progress will be completed, regardless of the Chip Select (CS) input signal. If CS is brought low during a program cycle, the device will go into standby mode as soon as the programming cycle is completed.
CS must be low for 250 ns minimum (TCSL) between consecutive instructions. If CS is low, the internal control logic is held in a RESET status.
2.2Serial Clock (CLK)
The Serial Clock is used to synchronize the communication between a master device and the 93LC46AX/ BX. Opcodes, address, and data bits are clocked in on the positive edge of CLK. Data bits are also clocked out on the positive edge of CLK.
CLK can be stopped anywhere in the transmission sequence (at high or low level) and can be continued anytime with respect to clock high time (TCKH) and clock low time (TCKL). This gives the controlling master freedom in preparing opcode, address, and data.
CLK is a “Don't Care” if CS is low (device deselected). If CS is high, but the START condition has not been detected, any number of clock cycles can be received by the device without changing its status (i.e., waiting for a START condition).
CLK cycles are not required during the self-timed WRITE (i.e., auto ERASE/WRITE) cycle.
After detection of a START condition the specified number of clock cycles (respectively low to high transitions of CLK) must be provided. These clock cycles are required to clock in all required opcode, address, and data bits before an instruction is executed (Table 2-1 and Table 2-2). CLK and DI then become don't care inputs waiting for a new START condition to be detected.
2.3Data In (DI)
Data In (DI) is used to clock in a START bit, opcode, address, and data synchronously with the CLK input.
2.4Data Out (DO)
Data Out (DO) is used in the READ mode to output data synchronously with the CLK input (TPD after the positive edge of CLK).
This pin also provides READY/BUSY status informa- tion during ERASE and WRITE cycles. READY/BUSY status information is available on the DO pin if CS is brought high after being low for minimum chip select low time (TCSL) and an ERASE or WRITE operation has been initiated.
The status signal is not available on DO, if CS is held low during the entire ERASE or WRITE cycle. In this case, DO is in the HIGH-Z mode. If status is checked after the ERASE/WRITE cycle, the data line will be high to indicate the device is ready.

3.0FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Instructions, addresses, and write data are clocked into the DI pin on the rising edge of the clock (CLK). The DO pin is normally held in a HIGH-Z state except when reading data from the device, or when checking the READY/BUSY status during a programming operation. The READY/BUSY status can be verified during an ERASE/WRITE operation by polling the DO pin; DO low indicates that programming is still in progress, while DO high indicates the device is ready. The DO will enter the HIGH-Z state on the falling edge of the CS.
3.1START Condition
The START bit is detected by the device if CS and DI are both high with respect to the positive edge of CLK for the first time.
Before a START condition is detected, CS, CLK, and DI may change in any combination (except to that of a START condition), without resulting in any device operation (ERASE, ERAL, EWDS, EWEN, READ, WRITE, and WRAL). As soon as CS is high, the device is no longer in the standby mode.
An instruction following a START condition will only be executed if the required amount of opcodes, addresses, and data bits for any particular instruction is clocked in.
After execution of an instruction (i.e., clock in or out of the last required address or data bit) CLK and DI become don’t care bits until a new START condition is detected.
3.2Data In (DI) and Data Out (DO)
It is possible to connect the Data In (DI) and Data Out (DO) pins together. However, with this configuration, if A0 is a logic-high level, it is possible for a “bus conflict” to occur during the “dummy zero” that precedes the READ operation. Under such a condition the voltage level seen at DO is undefined and will depend upon the relative impedances of DO and the signal source driving A0. The higher the current sourcing capability of A0, the higher the voltage at the DO pin.
3.3Data Protection
During power-up, all programming modes of operation are inhibited until Vcc has reached a level greater than 2.2V. During power-down, the source data protection circuitry acts to inhibit all programming modes when Vcc has fallen below 2.2V at nominal conditions.
The ERASE/WRITE Disable (EWDS) and ERASE/ WRITE Enable (EWDS) commands give additional protection against accidentally programming during normal operation.
