JEDEC Approved Byte-Wide Pinout
The X28C64 is an 8K x 8 E
2
PROM, fabricated with
Xicor’s proprietary, high performance, floating gate
CMOS technology. Like all Xicor programmable non-
volatile memories the X28C64 is a 5V only device. The
X28C64 features the JEDEC approved pinout for byte-
wide memories, compatible with industry standard RAMs.
The X28C64 supports a 64-byte page write operation,
effectively providing a 78µs/byte write cycle and en-
abling the entire memory to be typically written in 0.625
seconds. The X28C64 also features
DATA
and Toggle
Bit Polling, a system software support scheme used to
indicate the early completion of a write cycle. In addi-
tion, the X28C64 includes a user-optional software data
protection mode that further enhances Xicor’s hard-
ware write protect capability.
Xicor E

PROMs are designed and tested for applica-
tions requiring extended endurance. Inherent data re-
tention is greater than 100 years.

X28C64
DEVICE OPERATION
Read
Read operations are initiated by both
OE
and
CE
LOW.
The read operation is terminated by either
CE
or
OE
returning HIGH. This two line control architecture elimi-
nates bus contention in a system environment. The data
bus will be in a high impedance state when either
OE
or
CE
is HIGH.
Write
Write operations are initiated when both
CE
and
WE
are
LOW and
OE
is HIGH. The X28C64 supports both a
CE
and
WE
controlled write cycle. That is, the address is
latched by the falling edge of either
CE
or
WE,
whichever
occurs last. Similarly, the data is latched internally by the
rising edge of either
CE
or
WE,
whichever occurs first.
A byte write operation, once initiated, will automatically
continue to completion, typically within 5ms.
Page Write Operation
The page write feature of the X28C64 allows the entire
memory to be written in 0.625 seconds. Page write
allows two to sixty-four bytes of data to be consecutively
written to the X28C64 prior to the commencement of the
internal programming cycle. The host can fetch data
from another device within the system during a page
write operation (change the source address), but the
page address (A
6
through A
12
) for each subsequent
valid write cycle to the part during this operation must be
the same as the initial page address.
The page write mode can be initiated during any write
operation. Following the initial byte write cycle, the host
can write an additional one to sixty-three bytes in the
same manner as the first byte was written. Each succes-
sive byte load cycle, started by the
WE
HIGH to LOW
transition, must begin within 100µs of the falling edge of
the preceding
WE.
If a subsequent
WE
HIGH to LOW
transition is not detected within 100µs, the internal
automatic programming cycle will commence. There is
no page write window limitation. Effectively the page
write window is infinitely wide, so long as the host
continues to access the device within the byte load cycle
time of 100µs.
Write Operation Status Bits
The X28C64 provides the user two write operation
status bits. These can be used to optimize a system
write cycle time. The status bits are mapped onto the
I/O bus as shown in Figure 1.

DATA POLLING
3853 FHD F11
DATA
Polling (I/O
7
)
The X28C64 features
DATA
Polling as a method to
indicate to the host system that the byte write or page
write cycle has completed.
DATA
Polling allows a simple
bit test operation to determine the status of the X28C64,
eliminating additional interrupt inputs or external hard-
ware. During the internal programming cycle, any at-
tempt to read the last byte written will produce the
complement of that data on I/O
7
(i.e. write data = 0xxx
xxxx, read data = 1xxx xxxx). Once the programming
cycle is complete, I/O
7
will reflect true data. Note: If the
X28C64 is in the protected state and an illegal write
operation is attempted
DATA
Polling will not operate.
Toggle Bit (I/O
6
)
The X28C64 also provides another method for deter-
mining when the internal write cycle is complete. During
the internal programming cycle I/O
6
will toggle from
HIGH to LOW and LOW to HIGH on subsequent
attempts to read the device. When the internal cycle is
complete the toggling will cease and the device will be
accessible for additional read or write operations.

Figure 5. Toggle Bit Software Flow
The Toggle Bit can eliminate the software housekeeping
chore of saving and fetching the last address and data
written to a device in order to implement
DATA
Polling.
This can be especially helpful in an array comprised of
multiple X28C64 memories that is frequently updated.
Toggle Bit Polling can also provide a method for status
checking in multiprocessor applications. The timing
diagram in Figure 4 illustrates the sequence of events on
the bus. The software flow diagram in Figure 5 illustrates
a method for polling the Toggle Bit.
