The CAT25512 is a EEPROM Serial 512−Kb SPI device internally
organized as 64Kx8 bits. This features a 128−byte page write buffer
and supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. The device
is enabled through a Chip Select (CS) input. In addition, the required
bus signals are clock input (SCK), data input (SI) and data output (SO)
lines. The HOLD
communication with the CAT25512 device. The device features
software and hardware write protection, including partial as well as
full array protection.
On−Chip ECC (Error Correction Code) makes the device suitable
for high reliability applications.

ORDERING INFORMATION
See detailed ordering and shipping information in the package
dimensions section on page 11 of this data sheet.
Voltage on any Pin with Respect to Ground (Note 1)−0.5 to +6.5V
Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality
should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. The DC input voltage on any pin should not be lower than −0.5 V or higher than V
undershoot to no less than −1.5 V or overshoot to no more than V
2. These parameters are tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter according to appropriate AEC−Q100
and JEDEC test methods.
3. Write Mode: groups of 4 bytes, 25°C.
4. The device uses ECC (Error Correction Code) logic with 6 ECC bits to correct one bit error in 4 data bytes. Therefore, when a single byte
has to be written, 4 bytes (including the ECC bits) are re−programmed. It is recommended to write by multiple of 4 bytes in order to benefit
from the maximum number of write cycles.

CAT25512
Pin Description
SI: The serial data input pin accepts op−codes, addresses
and data. In SPI modes (0,0) and (1,1) input data is latched
on the rising edge of the SCK clock input.
SO: The serial data output pin is used to transfer data out of
the device. In SPI modes (0,0) and (1,1) data is shifted out
on the falling edge of the SCK clock.
SCK: The serial clock input pin accepts the clock provided
by the host and used for synchronizing communication
between host and CAT25512.
CS
: The chip select input pin is used to enable/disable the
CAT25512. When CS
is high, the SO output is tri−stated (high
impedance) and the device is in Standby Mode (unless an
internal write operation is in progress). Every communication
session between host and CAT25512 must be preceded by a
high to low transition and concluded with a low to high
transition of the CS
input.
WP: The write protect input pin will allow all write
operations to the device when held high. When WP
pin is
tied low and the WPEN bit in the Status Register (refer to
Status Register description, later in this Data Sheet) is set to
“1”, writing to the Status Register is disabled.
: The HOLD input pin is used to pause transmission
HOLD
between host and CAT25512, without having to retransmit
the entire sequence at a later time. To pause, HOLD
must be
taken low and to resume it must be taken back high, with the
SCK input low during both transitions. When not used for
pausing, it is recommended the HOLD

Functional Description
The CAT25512 device supports the Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) bus protocol, modes (0,0) and (1,1). The
device contains an 8−bit instruction register. The instruction
set and associated op−codes are listed in Table 7.
Reading data stored in the CAT25512 is accomplished by
simply providing the READ command and an address.
Writing to the CAT25512, in addition to a WRITE
command, address and data, also requires enabling the
device for writing by first setting certain bits in a Status
Register, as will be explained later.
After a high to low transition on the CS
input pin, the
CAT25512 will accept any one of the six instruction
op−codes listed in Table 7 and will ignore all other possible
8−bit combinations. The communication protocol follows
the timing from Figure 2.
The CAT25512 features an additional Identification Page
(128 bytes) which can be accessed for Read and Write
operations when the IPL bit from the Status Register is set
to “1”. The user can also choose to make the Identification
Page permanent write protected.

CAT25512
Status Register
The Status Register, as shown in Table 8, contains a
number of status and control bits.
The RDY
(Ready) bit indicates whether the device is busy
with a write operation. This bit is automatically set to 1 during
an internal write cycle, and reset to 0 when the device is ready
to accept commands. For the host, this bit is read only.
The WEL (Write Enable Latch) bit is set/reset by the
WREN/WRDI commands. When set to 1, the device is in a
Write Enable state and when set to 0, the device is in a Write
Disable state.
The BP0 and BP1 (Block Protect) bits determine which
blocks are currently write protected. They are set by the user
with the WRSR command and are non−volatile. The user is
allowed to protect a quarter, one half or the entire memory,
by setting these bits according to Table 9. The protected
blocks then become read−only.
The WPEN (Write Protect Enable) bit acts as an enable for
the WP
pin. Hardware write protection is enabled when the
WP
pin is low and the WPEN bit is 1. This condition
prevents writing to the status register and to the block
Table 8. STATUS REGISTER
76543210
WPENIPL0LIPBP1BP0WELRDY
protected sections of memory. While hardware write
protection is active, only the non−block protected memory
can be written. Hardware write protection is disabled when
pin is high or the WPEN bit is 0. The WPEN bit, WP
the WP
pin and WEL bit combine to either permit or inhibit Write
operations, as detailed in Table 10.
The IPL (Identification Page Latch) bit determines
whether the additional Identification Page (IPL = 1) or main
memory array (IPL = 0) can be accessed both for Read and
Write operations. The IPL bit is set by the user with the
WRSR command and is volatile. The IPL bit is
automatically reset after read/write operations.
The LIP (Lock Identification Page) bit is set by the user
with the WRSR command and is non−volatile. When set to
1, the Identification Page is permanently write protected
(locked in Read−only mode).
Note: The IPL and LIP bits cannot be set to 1 using the same
WRSR instruction. If the user attempts to set (“1”) both the
IPL and LIP bit in the same time, these bits cannot be written
and therefore they will remain unchanged.
