DESCRIPTION
The CAT93C46 is a 1K-bit Serial EEPROM memory
device which is configured as either 64 registers of 16
bits (ORG pin at V
CC
) or 128 registers of 8 bits (ORG pin
at GND). Each register can be written (or read) serially
by using the DI (or DO) pin. The CAT93C46 features a
self-timed internal write with auto-clear. On-chip Power-
On Reset circuit protects the internal logic against
powering up in the wrong state.

Notes:
(1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions outside of those listed in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating for extended periods may affect device performance and reliability.
(2) The DC input voltage on any pin should not be lower than -0.5V or higher than V
CC
+0.5V. During transitions, the voltage on any pin may
undershoot to no less than -1.5V or overshoot to no more than V
CC
+1.5V, for periods of less than 20 ns.
(3) 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.

DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT93C46 is a 1024-bit nonvolatile memory in-
tended for use with industry standard microprocessors.
The CAT93C46 can be organized as either registers of
16 bits or 8 bits. When organized as X16, seven 9-bit
instructions control the reading, writing and erase opera-
tions of the device. When organized as X8, seven 10-bit
instructions control the reading, writing and erase
operations of the device. The CAT93C46 operates on
a single power supply and will generate on chip the high
voltage required during any write operation.
Instructions, addresses, and write data are clocked into
the DI pin on the rising edge of the clock (SK). The DO
pin is normally in a high impedance state except when
reading data from the device, or when checking the
ready/busy status during a write operation. The serial
communication protocol follows the timing shown in
Figure 1.
The ready/busy status can be determined after the start
of internal write cycle by selecting the device (CS high)
and polling the DO pin; DO low indicates that the write
operation is not completed, while DO high indicates that
the device is ready for the next instruction. If necessary,
the DO pin may be placed back into a high impedance
state during chip select by shifting a dummy “1” into the
DI pin. The DO pin will enter the high impedance state on
the rising edge of the clock (SK). Placing the DO pin
into the high impedance state is recommended in appli-
cations where the DI pin and the DO pin are to be tied
together to form a common DI/O pin. The Ready/Busy

flag can be disabled only in Ready state; no change is
allowed in Busy state.
The format for all instructions sent to the device is a
logical "1" start bit, a 2-bit (or 4-bit) opcode, 6-bit address
(an additional bit when organized X8) and for write
operations a 16-bit data field (8-bit for X8 organization).
Read
Upon receiving a READ command (Figure 2) and an
address (clocked into the DI pin), the DO pin of the
CAT93C46 will come out of the high impedance state
and, after sending an initial dummy zero bit, will begin
shifting out the data addressed (MSB first). The output
data bits will toggle on the rising edge of the SK clock and
are stable after the specified time delay (t
PD0
or t
PD1
).
Erase/Write Enable and Disable
The CAT93C46 powers up in the write disable state. Any
writing after power-up or after an EWDS (write disable)
instruction must first be preceded by the EWEN (write
enable) instruction. Once the write instruction is enabled,
it will remain enabled until power to the device is removed,
or the EWDS instruction is sent. The EWDS instruction
can be used to disable all CAT93C46 write and erase
instructions, and will prevent any accidental writing or
clearing of the device. Data can be read normally from
the device regardless of the write enable/disable status.
The EWEN and EWDS instructions timing is shown in
Figure 3.
