Description:

The Microchip Technology Inc. 93XX76A/B/C devices
are 8Kbit, low-voltage, serial Electrically Erasable
PROMs (EEPROM). Word-selectable devices such as
the 93XX76C are dependent upon external logic levels
driving the ORG pin to set word size. The 93XX76A
devices provide dedicated 8-bit memory organization,
while the 93XX76B devices provide dedicated 16-bit
memory organization. A Program Enable (PE) pin allows
the user to write-protect the entire memory array.
Advanced CMOS technology makes these devices ideal
for low-power, nonvolatile memory applications. The
93XX Series is available in standard packages including
8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced packaging includ-
ing 8-lead MSOP, 6-lead SOT-23, 8-lead 2x3 DFN/
TDFN and 8-lead TSSOP. All packages are Pb-free
(Matte Tin) finish.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

When the ORG pin (93XX76C) is connected to V

CC

,

the (x16) organization is selected. When it is connected
to ground, the (x8) organization is selected. Instruc-
tions, addresses and write data are clocked into the DI
pin on the rising edge of the clock (CLK). The DO pin is
normally held in a High-Z state except when reading
data from the device, or when checking the Ready/

Busy

 status during a programming operation. The

Ready/

Busy

 status can be verified during an Erase/

Write operation by polling the DO pin; DO low indicates
that programming is still in progress, while DO high
indicates the device is ready. DO will enter the High-Z
state on the falling edge of CS.

2.1

Start Condition

The Start bit is detected by the device if CS and DI are
both high with respect to the positive edge of CLK for
the first time.

Before a Start condition is detected, CS, CLK and DI
may change in any combination (except to that of a
Start condition), without resulting in any device
operation (Read, Write, Erase, EWEN, EWDS, ERAL
or WRAL). As soon as CS is high, the device is no
longer in Standby mode.

An instruction following a Start condition will only be
executed if the required opcode, address and data bits
for any particular instruction are clocked in.

2.2

Data In/Data Out (DI/DO)

It is possible to connect the Data In and Data Out pins
together. However, with this configuration it is possible
for a “bus conflict” to occur during the “dummy zero”
that precedes the read operation if A0 is a logic high-
level. Under such a condition the voltage level seen at
Data Out is undefined and will depend upon the relative
impedances of Data Out and the signal source driving
A0. The higher the current sourcing capability of the
driver, the higher the voltage at the Data Out pin. In
order to limit this current, a resistor should be
connected between DI and DO.

2.3

Data Protection

All modes of operation are inhibited when V

CC

 is below

a typical voltage of 1.5V for ‘93AA’ and ‘93LC’ devices
or 3.8V for ‘93C’ devices.

The  EWEN and EWDS commands give additional
protection against accidentally programming during
normal operation.

After power-up the device is automatically in the EWDS
mode. Therefore, an EWEN instruction must be
performed before the initial ERASE or WRITE instruction
can be executed.

Block Diagram

Note:

When preparing to transmit an instruction,
either the CLK or DI signal levels must be
at a logic low as CS is toggled active high.

Note:

For added protection, an EWDS command
should be performed after every write
operation and an external 10 k

 pull-

down protection resistor should be added
to the CS pin.

Note:

To prevent accidental writes to the array in
the 93XX76C devices, set the PE pin to a
logic low.

2.4

Erase

The  ERASE instruction forces all data bits of the
specified address to the logical ‘1’ state. The rising
edge of CLK before the last address bit initiates the
write cycle.

The DO pin indicates the Ready/

device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns

Erase All (ERAL)

The Erase All (ERAL) instruction will erase the entire
memory array to the logical ‘1’ state. The ERAL cycle
is identical to the erase cycle, except for the different
opcode. The ERAL cycle is completely self-timed. The
rising edge of CLK before the last data bit initiates the
write cycle. Clocking of the CLK pin is not necessary
after the device has entered the ERAL cycle. 

The DO pin indicates the Ready/

Busy

 status of the

device, if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (T

Erase/Write Disable and Enable 
(EWDS/EWEN)

The 93XX76A/B/C powers up in the Erase/Write
Disable (EWDS) state. All programming modes must be
preceded by an Erase/Write Enable (EWEN) instruction.

Once the EWEN instruction is executed, programming
remains enabled until an EWDS instruction is executed
or V

CC

 is removed from the device. 

To protect against accidental data disturbance, the
EWDS

 instruction can be used to disable all erase/write

functions and should follow all programming opera-
tions. Execution of a READ instruction is independent of
both the EWEN and EWDS instructions.

FIGURE 2-3:

EWDS TIMING

FIGURE 2-4:

Read

The  READ instruction outputs the serial data of the
addressed memory location on the DO pin. A dummy
zero bit precedes the 8-bit (If ORG pin is low or A-version
devices) or 16-bit (If ORG pin is high or B-version
devices) output string. 

The output data bits will toggle on the rising edge of the
CLK and are stable after the specified time delay (T

PD

).

Sequential read is possible when CS is held high. The
memory data will automatically cycle to the next register
and output sequentially.

Write

The WRITE instruction is followed by 8 bits (if ORG is
low or A-version devices) or 16 bits (if ORG pin is high
or B-version devices) of data which are written into the
specified address. The self-timed auto-erase and
programming cycle is initiated by the rising edge of CLK
on the last data bit.

The DO pin indicates the Ready/

Busy

 status of the

device, if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (T

CSL

). DO at logical ‘0’ indicates that programming

is still in progress. DO at logical ‘1’ indicates that the
register at the specified address has been written with
the data specified and the device is ready for another
instruction.

Write All (WRAL)

The Write All (WRAL) instruction will write the entire
memory array with the data specified in the command.
The self-timed auto-erase and programming cycle is
initiated by the rising edge of CLK on the last data bit.
Clocking of the CLK pin is not necessary after the
device has entered the WRAL cycle. The WRAL
command includes an automatic ERAL cycle for the
device, so the WRAL instruction does not require an
ERAL

  instruction.  However,  the  chip  must  be  in  the

EWEN status.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS

TABLE 3-1:

PIN DESCRIPTIONS

3.1

Chip Select (CS)

A high level selects the device; a low level deselects
the device and forces it into Standby mode. However, a
programming cycle that is already in progress will be
completed, regardless of the Chip Select (CS) input
signal. If CS is brought low during a program cycle, the
device will go into Standby mode as soon as the
programming cycle is completed.

CS must be low for 250 ns minimum (T

CSL

) between

consecutive instructions. If CS is low, the internal
control logic is held in a Reset status.

3.2

Serial Clock (CLK)

The Serial Clock is used to synchronize the communi-
cation between a master device and the 93XX series
device. Opcodes, address and data bits are clocked in
on the positive edge of CLK. Data bits are also clocked
out on the positive edge of CLK.

CLK can be stopped anywhere in the transmission
sequence (at high or low-level) and can be continued
anytime with respect to Clock High Time (T

CKH

) and

Clock Low Time (T

CKL

). This gives the controlling

master freedom in preparing opcode, address and
data.

CLK is a “don’t care” if CS is low (device deselected). If
CS is high, but the Start condition has not been
detected (DI = 0), any number of clock cycles can be
received by the device without changing its status (i.e.,
waiting for a Start condition).

CLK cycles are not required during the self-timed write
(i.e., auto erase/write) cycle.

After detection of a Start condition the specified number
of clock cycles (respectively, low-to-high transitions of
CLK) must be provided. These clock cycles are
required to clock in all required opcode, address and

data bits before an instruction is executed. CLK and DI
then become “don’t care” inputs waiting for a new Start
condition to be detected.

3.3

Data In (DI)

Data In (DI) is used to clock in a Start bit, opcode,
address and data synchronously with the CLK input.

3.4

Data Out (DO)

Data Out (DO) is used in the Read mode to output data
synchronously with the CLK input (T

PD

 after the

positive edge of CLK).

This pin also provides Ready/

Busy

 status information

during erase and write cycles. Ready/

Busy

 status infor-

mation is available on the DO pin if CS is brought high
after being low for minimum Chip Select Low Time
(T

CSL

) and an erase or write operation has been

initiated.

The Status signal is not available on DO, if CS is held
low during the entire erase or write cycle. In this case,
DO is in the High-Z mode. If status is checked after the
erase/write cycle, the data line will be high to indicate
the device is ready.

3.5

Organization (ORG)

When the ORG pin is connected to V

CC

 or logic high,

the (x16) memory organization is selected. When the
ORG pin is tied to V

SS

 or logic low, the (x8) memory

organization is selected. For proper operation, ORG
must be tied to a valid logic level.

93XX76A devices are always (x8) organization and
93XX76B devices are always (x16) organization.
