1. Description
The Adesto
®
AT45DB081D is a 2.5V or 2.7V, serial-interface Flash memory
ideally suited for a wide variety of digital voice-, image-, program code- and data-stor-
age applications. The AT45DB081D supports RapidS
™
serial interface for
applications requiring very high speed operations. RapidS serial interface is SPI com-
patible for frequencies up to 66MHz. Its 8,650,752-bits of memory are organized as
4,096 pages of 256-bytes or 264-bytes each. In addition to the main memory, the
AT45DB081D also contains two SRAM buffers of 256-/264-bytes each. The buffers
allow the receiving of data while a page in the main Memory is being reprogrammed,
as well as writing a continuous data stream. EEPROM emulation (bit or byte alterabil-
ity) is easily handled with a self-contained three step read-modify-write operation.
Unlike conventional Flash memories that are accessed randomly with multiple
3596O–DFLASH–1/2013
address lines and a parallel interface, the Adesto
™
DataFlash
®
uses a RapidS serial interface to
sequentially access its data. The simple sequential access dramatically reduces active pin
count, facilitates hardware layout, increases system reliability, minimizes switching noise, and
reduces package size. The device is optimized for use in many commercial and industrial appli-
cations where high-density, low-pin count, low-voltage and low-power are essential.
To allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the AT45DB081D does not require high input
voltages for programming. The device operates from a single power supply, 2.5V to 3.6V or 2.7V
to 3.6V, for both the program and read operations. The AT45DB081D is enabled through the
chip select pin (CS) and accessed via a three-wire interface consisting of the Serial Input (SI),
Serial Output (SO), and the Serial Clock (SCK).
All programming and erase cycles are self-timed.

Pin Configurations
Name and Function
Chip Select:
Asserting the CS pin selects the device. When the CS pin is deasserted, the device
will be deselected and normally be placed in the standby mode (not Deep Power-Down mode),
and the output pin (SO) will be in a high-impedance state. When the device is deselected, data
will not be accepted on the input pin (SI).
A high-to-low transition on the CS pin is required to start an operation, and a low-to-high
transition is required to end an operation. When ending an internally self-timed operation such as
a program or erase cycle, the device will not enter the standby mode until the completion of the
operation.
Serial Clock:
This pin is used to provide a clock to the device and is used to control the flow of
data to and from the device. Command, address, and input data present on the SI pin is always
latched on the rising edge of SCK, while output data on the SO pin is always clocked out on the
falling edge of SCK.
Serial Input:
The SI pin is used to shift data into the device. The SI pin is used for all data input
including command and address sequences. Data on the SI pin is always latched on the rising
edge of SCK.
Serial Output:
The SO pin is used to shift data out from the device. Data on the SO pin is always
clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.
Write Protect:
When the WP pin is asserted, all sectors specified for protection by the Sector
Protection Register will be protected against program and erase operations regardless of
whether the Enable Sector Protection command has been issued or not. The WP pin functions
independently of the software controlled protection method. After the WP pin goes low, the
content of the Sector Protection Register cannot be modified.
If a program or erase command is issued to the device while the WP pin is asserted, the device
will simply ignore the command and perform no operation. The device will return to the idle state
once the CS pin has been deasserted. The Enable Sector Protection command and Sector
Lockdown command, however, will be recognized by the device when the WP pin is asserted.
The WP pin is internally pulled-high and may be left floating if hardware controlled protection will
not be used. However, it is recommended that the WP pin also be externally connected to V
CC
whenever possible.
Reset:
A low state on the reset pin (RESET) will terminate the operation in progress and reset
the internal state machine to an idle state. The device will remain in the reset condition as long as
a low level is present on the RESET pin. Normal operation can resume once the RESET pin is
brought back to a high level.
The device incorporates an internal power-on reset circuit, so there are no restrictions on the
RESET pin during power-on sequences. If this pin and feature are not utilized it is recommended
that the RESET pin be driven high externally.
Device Power Supply:
The V
CC
pin is used to supply the source voltage to the device.
Operations at invalid V
CC
voltages may produce spurious results and should not be attempted.
Ground:
The ground reference for the power supply. GND should be connected to the system
ground.

4. Memory Array
To provide optimal flexibility, the memory array of the AT45DB081D is divided into three levels of granularity comprising of
sectors, blocks, and pages. The “Memory Architecture Diagram” illustrates the breakdown of each level and details the
number of pages per sector and block. All program operations to the DataFlash occur on a page by page basis. The erase
operations can be performed at the chip, sector, block or page level.

5. Device Operation
The device operation is controlled by instructions from the host processor. The list of instructions
and their associated opcodes are contained in
Table 15-1 on page 27
through
Table 15-7 on
page 30.
A valid instruction starts with the falling edge of CS followed by the appropriate 8-bit
opcode and the desired buffer or main memory address location. While the CS pin is low, tog-
gling the SCK pin controls the loading of the opcode and the desired buffer or main memory
address location through the SI (serial input) pin. All instructions, addresses, and data are trans-
ferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
Buffer addressing for the DataFlash standard page size (264-bytes) is referenced in the data-
sheet using the terminology BFA8 - BFA0 to denote the nine address bits required to designate
a byte address within a buffer. Main memory addressing is referenced using the terminology
PA11 - PA0 and BA8 - BA0, where PA11 - PA0 denotes the 12 address bits required to desig-
nate a page address and BA8 - BA0 denotes the nine address bits required to designate a byte
address within the page.
For “Power of 2” binary page size (256-bytes) the Buffer addressing is referenced in the data-
sheet using the conventional terminology BFA7 - BFA0 to denote the eight address bits required
to designate a byte address within a buffer. Main memory addressing is referenced using the
terminology A19 - A0, where A19 - A8 denotes the 12 address bits required to designate a page
address and A7 - A0 denotes the eight address bits required to designate a byte address within
a page.
6. Read Commands
By specifying the appropriate opcode, data can be read from the main memory or from either
one of the two SRAM data buffers. The DataFlash supports RapidS protocols for Mode 0 and
Mode 3. Please refer to the “Detailed Bit-level Read Timing” diagrams in this datasheet for
details on the clock cycle sequences for each mode.
6.1
Continuous Array Read (Legacy Command: E8H): Up to 66MHz
By supplying an initial starting address for the main memory array, the Continuous Array Read
command can be utilized to sequentially read a continuous stream of data from the device by
simply providing a clock signal; no additional addressing information or control signals need to
be provided. The DataFlash incorporates an internal address counter that will automatically
increment on every clock cycle, allowing one continuous read operation without the need of
additional address sequences. To perform a continuous read from the DataFlash standard page
size (264-bytes), an opcode of E8H must be clocked into the device followed by three address
bytes (which comprise the 24-bit page and byte address sequence) and four don’t care bytes.
The first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the 21-bit address sequence specify which page of the main
memory array to read, and the last nine bits (BA8 - BA0) of the 21-bit address sequence specify
the starting byte address within the page. To perform a continuous read from the binary page
size (256-bytes), the opcode (E8H) must be clocked into the device followed by three address
bytes and four don’t care bytes. The first 12 bits (A19 - A8) of the 20-bits sequence specify which
page of the main memory array to read, and the last eight bits (A7 - A0) of the 20-bits address
sequence specify the starting byte address within the page. The don’t care bytes that follow the
address bytes are needed to initialize the read operation. Following the don’t care bytes, addi-
tional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO (serial output) pin.
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the don’t care
bytes, and the reading of data. When the end of a page in main memory is reached during a
