Description
The AT25128A/256A provides 131,072/262,144 bits of serial electrically-erasable
programmable read only memory (EEPROM) organized
as
16,384/32,768 words of
8
bits each. The device is optimized for use in many industrial
and
commercial
appli-
cations where low-power
and
low-voltage operation
are
essential. The devices
are
available
in space saving
8-lead
PDIP,
8-lead
EIAJ
SOIC, 8-lead
JEDEC
SOIC, 8-
lead TSSOP,
8-ball
dBGA2
and 8-lead SAP
packages. In
addition,
the entire family is
available
in 2.7V (2.7V to 5.5V)
and
1.8V (1.8V to 5.5V) versions.
The AT25128A/256A is enabled through the Chip
Select
pin (CS)
and accessed
via
a 3-wire
interface consisting of
Serial
Data Input (SI),
Serial
Data Output (SO),
and
Serial
Clock (SCK). All programming cycles
are
completely self-timed,
and
no sepa-
rate Erase cycle is required before Write.

Block Write protection is enabled by programming the status register with top ¼, top ½
or entire
array
of write protection.
Separate
Program Enable
and
Program Disable
instructions
are
provided for
additional
data protection. Hardware data protection is pro-
vided via the WP pin to protect
against
inadvertent write
attempts
to the status register.
The HOLD pin may be used to suspend
any
serial communication without resetting the
serial sequence.

AT25128A/256A
3368H–SEEPR–8/05
AT25128A/256A
Serial Interface
Description
MASTER:
The device that generates the serial clock.
SLAVE:
Because the serial clock pin (SCK) is
always an
input, the AT25128A/256A
always
operates
as a
slave.
TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER:
The AT25128A/256A has separate pins designated for
data transmission (SO)
and
reception (SI).
MSB:
The Most
Significant
Bit (MSB) is the first bit transmitted
and
received.
SERIAL OP-CODE:
After the device is selected with CS going low, the first byte will
be received. This byte contains the op-code that defines the operations to be performed.
INVALID OP-CODE:
If
an
invalid op-code is received, no data will be shifted into the
AT25128A/256A,
and
the serial output pin (SO) will remain in
a
high impedance state
until the falling edge of CS is detected
again.
This will reinitialize the serial
communication.
CHIP SELECT:
The AT25128A/256A is selected when the CS pin is low. When the
device is not selected, data will not be
accepted
via the
SI
pin,
and
the serial output pin
(SO) will remain in
a
high impedance state.
HOLD:
The HOLD pin is used in conjunction with the CS pin to select the
AT25128A/256A. 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
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
SI
pin will be ignored
while the
SO
pin is in the high impedance state.
WRITE PROTECT:
The write protect pin (WP) will
allow
normal read/write operations
when held high. When the WP pin is brought low
and
WPEN bit is “1”,
all
write opera-
tions to the status register
are
inhibited. WP going low while CS is still low will interrupt
a
write 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 “0”. This will
allow
the
user to install the AT25128A/256A 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 “1”.
