64K SPI™ Bus Serial EEPROM

25AA640/25LC640/25C640

3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

3.1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The 25xx640 is a 8192 byte Serial EEPROM designed

to interface directly with the Serial Peripheral Interface

(SPI) port of many of today’s popular microcontroller

families, including Microchip’s PIC16C6X/7X micro-

controllers. It may also interface with microcontrollers

that do not have a built-in SPI port by using discrete

I/O lines programmed properly with the software.

The 25xx640 contains an 8-bit instruction register. The

part is accessed via the SI pin, with data being clocked

in on the rising edge of SCK. The CS pin must be low

and the HOLD pin must be high for the entire opera-

tion.

Table 3-1 contains a list of the possible instruction

bytes and format for device operation. All instructions,

addresses, and data are transferred MSB first, LSB

last.

Data is sampled on the first rising edge of SCK after

CS goes low. If the clock line is shared with other

peripheral devices on the SPI bus, the user can assert

the HOLD input and place the 25xx640 in ‘HOLD’

mode. After releasing the HOLD pin, operation will

resume from the point when the HOLD was asserted.

3.2 Read Sequence

The part is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit read

instruction is transmitted to the 25xx640 followed by the

16-bit address with the three MSB’s of the address

being don’t care bits. After the correct read instruction

and address are sent, the data stored in the memory at

the selected address is shifted out on the SO pin. The

data stored in the memory at the next address can be

read sequentially by continuing to provide clock pulses.

The internal address pointer is automatically incre-

mented to the next higher address after each byte of

data is shifted out. When the highest address is

reached (1FFFh), the address counter rolls over to

address 0000h allowing the read cycle to be continued

indefinitely. The read operation is terminated by raising

the CS pin (Figure 3-1).

3.3 Write Sequence

Prior to any attempt to write data to the 25xx640 array

or status register, the write enable latch must be set by

issuing the WREN instruction (Figure 3-4). This is

done by setting CS low and then clocking out the

proper instruction into the 25xx640. After all eight bits

of the instruction are transmitted, the CS must be

brought high to set the write enable latch. If the write

operation is initiated immediately after the WREN

instruction without CS being brought high, the data will

not be written to the array because the write enable

latch will not have been properly set.

Once the write enable latch is set, the user may pro-

ceed by setting the CS low, issuing a write instruction,

followed by the address, and then the data to be writ-

ten. Up to 32 bytes of data can be sent to the 25xx640

before a write cycle is necessary. The only restriction is

that all of the bytes must reside in the same page. A

page address begins with XXX0 0000 and ends with

XXX1 1111. If the internal address counter reaches

XXX1 1111 and the clock continues, the counter will

roll back to the first address of the page and overwrite

any data in the page that may have been written.

For the data to be actually written to the array, the CS

must be brought high after the least significant bit (D0)

of the nth data byte has been clocked in. If CS is

brought high at any other time, the write operation will

not be completed. Refer to Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3

for more detailed illustrations on the byte write

sequence and the page write sequence respectively.

While the write is in progress, the status register may

be read to check the status of the WPEN, WIP, WEL,

BP1, and BP0 bits (Figure 3-6). A read attempt of a

memory array location will not be possible during a

write cycle. When the write cycle is completed, the

write enable latch is reset.
