The X76F641 features a serial interface and software
protocol allowing operation on a popular two wire bus.
The bus signals are a clock Input (SCL) and a bidirec-
tional data input and output (SDA).
The X76F641 also features a synchronous response
to reset providing an automatic output of a hard-wired
32-bit data stream conforming to the industry standard
for memory cards.
The X76F641 utilizes Xicor’s proprietary Direct Write
™
cell, providing a minimum endurance of 100,000
cycles and a minimum data retention of 100 years.
du
The X76F641 is a Password Access Security Supervi-
sor, containing one 65536-bit Secure SerialFlash array
and one 256-bit Secure SerialFlash array. Access to
each memory array is controlled by five 64-bit pass-
words each. These passwords protect read and write
operations of the memory array. A separate RESET
password is used to reset the passwords and clear the
memory arrays in the event the read and write pass-
words are lost.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock all data into and out of
the device.
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a true three state serial data input/output pin.
During a read cycle, data is shifted out on this pin. Dur-
ing a write cycle, data is shifted in on this pin. In all
other cases, this pin is in a high impedance state.
Reset (RST)
RST is a device reset pin. When RST is pulsed high
the X76F641 will output 32 bits of fixed data, which
conforms to the standard for “synchronous response to
reset”. The part must not be in a write cycle for the
response to reset to occur. See Figure 11. If there is
power interrupted during the Response to Reset, the
response to reset will be aborted and the part will
return to the standby state. The response to reset is
“mask programmable” only!
DEVICE OPERATION
There are two primary modes of operation for the
X76F641; protected READ and protected WRITE. Pro-
tected operations must be performed with one of four
8-byte passwords.
If the X76F641 is in a nonvolatile write cycle a “no
ACK” (SDA = High) response will be issued in
response to loading of the command byte. If a stop is
issued prior to the nonvolatile write cycle, the write
operation will be terminated and the part will reset and
enter into standby mode.
The basic sequence is illustrated in Figure 1.

bs
The basic method of communication for the device is
generating a start condition, then transmitting a com-
mand, followed by the correct password. All parts will
be shipped from the factory with all passwords equal to
‘0’. The user must perform ACK Polling to determine
the validity of the password, before starting a data
transfer (see Acknowledge Polling.) The data transfer
can occur only after the correct password is accepted
and an ACK polling has been performed.

To ensure the correct communication, RST must
remain LOW under all conditions except when running
a “Response to Reset sequence”.
Data is transferred in 8-bit segments, with each trans-
fer being followed by an ACK, generated by the receiv-
ing device.
After each transaction is completed, the X76F641 will
reset and enter into a standby mode. This will also be
the response if an unsuccessful attempt is made to
access a protected array.

Retry Counter
The X76F641 contains a retry counter. The retry
counter allows 8 accesses with an invalid password
before any action is taken. The counter will increment
with any combination of incorrect passwords. If the
retry counter overflows, all memory areas are cleared
and the device is locked, thereby preventing any read
or write array password matches. The passwords are
unaffected. If a correct password is received prior to
retry counter overflow, the retry counter is reset and
access is granted. In order to reset the operation of a
locked up device, a special reset command must be
used with a RESET password.
et

Device Protocol
The X76F641 supports a bidirectional bus oriented
protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends
data onto the bus as a transmitter, and the receiving
device as a receiver. The device controlling the transfer
is a master and the device being controlled is the
slave. The master will always initiate data transfers and
provide the clock for both transmit and receive opera-
tions. Therefore, the X76F641 will be considered a
slave in all applications.
O
P
ro
Stop Condition
A start may be issued to terminate the input of a con-
trol byte or the input data to be written. This will reset
the device and leave it ready to begin a new read or
write command. Because of the push/pull output, a
start cannot be generated while the part is outputting
data. Starts are inhibited while a write is in progress.
All communications must be terminated by a stop con-
dition. The stop condition is a LOW to HIGH transition
of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is also
used to reset the device during a command or data
input sequence and will leave the device in the standby
power mode. As with starts, stops are inhibited when
outputting data and while a write is in progress.
Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfer. The transmitting device, either
master or slave, will release the bus after transmitting
eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle the receiver will
pull the SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received
the eight bits of data.
The X76F641 will respond with an acknowledge after rec-
ognition of a start condition and its slave address. If both
the device and a write condition have been selected, the
X76F641 will respond with an acknowledge after the
receipt of each subsequent eight-bit word.
du
Verify Password
Acceptance by
Use of Password ACK Polling
All commands are preceeded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The X76F641 continuously monitors the SDA
and SCL lines for the start condition, and will not
respond to any command until this condition is met.

Reset Device Command
The reset device command is used to clear the retry
counter and reactivate the device. When the reset
device command is used prior to the retry counter
overflow, the retry counter is reset and no arrays or
passwords are affected. If the retry counter has over-
flowed, all memory areas are cleared and all com-
mands are blocked and the retry counter is disabled.
Figure 2. Data Validity
Issuing a valid reset device command (with reset pass-
word) to the device resets and re-enables the retry
counter and re-enables the other commands. Again,
the passwords are not affected.
