DESCRIPTION
PCX8594X-2 Family
The PCX8594X-2 is a 4-Kbit (512
×
8-bit) floating gate
electrically erasable programmable read only memory
(EEPROM). By using an internal redundant storage code
it is fault tolerant to single bit errors. This feature
dramatically increases reliability compared to conventional
EEPROM memories.
Power consumption is low due to the full CMOS
technology used. The programming voltage is generated
on-chip, using a voltage multiplier.
As data bytes are received and transmitted via the serial
I
2
C-bus, a package using eight pins is sufficient. Up to four
PCX8594X-2 devices may be connected to the I
2
C-bus.
Chip select is accomplished by two address inputs
(A1 and A2).
Timing of the ERASE/WRITE cycle is carried out
internally, thus no external components are required. Pin 7
(PTC) must be connected to either V
DD
or left open-circuit.
There is an option of using an external clock for timing the
length of an ERASE/WRITE cycle.
A write-protection input at pin 1 (WP) allows disable of
write-commands from the master by a hardware signal.
When pin 1 is HIGH and one of the upper 256 EEPROM
cells is addressed, then the data bytes will not be
acknowledged by the PCX8594X-2 and the EEPROM
contents are not changed.
