The AT25F2048 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 write cycles are completely self-timed.
Block Write protection for top 1/4, top 1/2 or the entire memory array is enabled by pro-
gramming the status register. Separate write enable and write disable instructions are
provided for additional data protection. Hardware data protection is provided 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.

Write Cycles
(3)
1. The programming time for n bytes will be equal to n x t
BPC
.
2. This parameter is ensured by characterization at 3.0V, 25°C only.
3. One write cycle consists of erasing a sector, followed by programming the same sector.

2455I–SFLSH–5/07
AT25F2048
Serial Interface
Description
MASTER:
The device that generates the serial clock.
SLAVE:
Because the serial clock pin (SCK) is always an input, the AT25F2048 always
operates as a slave.
TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER:
The AT25F2048 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
AT25F2048, 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 AT25F2048 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 AT25F2048.
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 25F2048 has a write lockout feature that can be activated by
asserting the write protect pin (WP). When the lockout feature is activated, locked-out
sectors will be read only. The write protect pin will allow normal read/write operations
when held high. When the WP is brought low and WPEN bit is “1”, all write operations 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 status register 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 AT25F2048 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”.
