DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C128/256 is a 128K/256K-Bit SPI Serial
CMOS EEPROM internally organized as 16Kx8/32Kx8
bits. Catalyst’s advanced CMOS Technology
substantially reduces device power requirements. The
CAT25C128/256 features a 64-byte page write buffer.
The device operates via the SPI bus serial interface
and is enabled through a Chip Select (CS). In addition
to the Chip Select, the clock input (SCK), data in (SI)
and data out (SO) are required to access the device.
The
HOLD
pin may be used to suspend any serial
communication without resetting the serial sequence.
The CAT25C128/256 is designed with software and
hardware write protection features including Block Lock
protection. The device is available in 8-pin DIP, 8-pin
SOIC, 16-pin SOIC, 14-pin TSSOP and 20-pin TSSOP
packages.

CAT25C128/256
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C128/256 supports the SPI bus data
transmission protocol. The synchronous Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) helps the CAT25C128/256 to interface
directly with many of today’s popular microcontrollers.
The CAT25C128/256 contains an 8-bit instruction
register. (The instruction set and the operation codes
are detailed in the instruction set table)
After the device is selected with
CS
going low, the first
byte will be received. The part is accessed via the SI pin,
with data being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK.
The first byte contains one of the six op-codes that define
the operation to be performed.
SO: Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to transfer
data out of the CAT25C128/256. During a read cycle, data
is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock.
SCK: Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchronize
the communication between the microcontroller and the
CAT25C128/256. Opcodes, byte addresses, or data
present on the SI pin are latched on the rising edge of the
SCK. Data on the SO pin is updated on the falling edge of
the SCK.
CS
Chip Select
CS:
CS
is the Chip select pin.
CS
low enables the CAT25C128/
256 and
CS
high disables the CAT25C128/256.
CS
high
takes the SO output pin to high impedance and forces the
devices into a Standby Mode (unless an internal write
operation is underway). The CAT25C128/256 draws
ZERO current in the Standby mode. A high to low transition
on
CS
is required prior to any sequence being initiated. A
low to high transition on
CS
after a valid write sequence is
what initiates an internal write cycle.
PIN DESCRIPTION
SI: Serial Input
SI is the serial data input pin. This pin is used to input all
opcodes, byte addresses, and data to be written to the
25C32/64. Input data is latched on the rising edge of the
serial clock.
