PIN DESCRITPION
Addresses (A0-A12).
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. When 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 written to or read
from the M28C64C through the I/O pins.
Write Enable (W).
The Write Enable input controls
the writing of data to the M28C64C.
Ready/Busy (RB).
Ready/Busy is an open drain
output that can be used to detect the end of the
internal write cycle.
OPERATION
In order to prevent data corruption and inadvertent
write operations during power-up, a Power On
Reset (POR) circuit resets all internal programming
cicuitry. Access to the memory in write mode is
allowed after a power-up as specified in Table 6.
Read
The M28C64C is accessed like a static RAM.
When E and G are low with W high, the data
addressed is presented on the I/O pins. The I/O
pins are high impedancewhen either G or E is high.
Write
Write operations are initiated when both W and E
are low and G is high.The M28C64C supports both
E and W controlled write cycles. The Address is
latched by the falling edge of E or W which ever
occurs last and the Data on the rising edge of E or
W which ever occurs first. Once initiated the write
operation is internally timed until completion.
Page Write
Page write allows up to 32 bytes to be consecu-
tively latched into the memory prior to initiating a
programming cycle. All bytes must be located in a
single page address, that is A5 - A12 must be the
same for all bytes. The page write can be initiated
during any byte write operation.
Following the first byte write instruction the host
may send another address and data up to a maxi-
mum of 100µs after the rising edge of E or W which
ever occurs first (t
BLC
). If a transition of E or W is
not detected within 100
µ
s, the internal program-
ming cycle will start.

Microcontroller Control Interface
The M28C64C provides two write operation status
bits and one status pin that can be used to minimize
the system write cycle. These signals are available
on the I/O port bits DQ7 or DQ6 of the memory
during programming cycle only, or as the RB 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.
4/15
Toggle bit (DQ6).
The M28C64C offers another
way for determining when the internal write cycle
is completed. Duringthe 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 any address in 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 E or W up to
100µs after the previous byte. Up to 32 bytes may
be input. The Data output (DQ5) indicates the
status of the internal Page Load Timer. DQ5 may
be read by asserting Output Enable Low (t
PLTS
).
DQ5 Low indicates the timer is running, High
indicates time-out after which the write cycle will
start and no new data may be input.
Ready/Busy pin.
The RB pin provides a signal at
its open drain output which is low during the
erase/write cycle, but which is released at the
completion of the programming cycle.
