DESCRIPTION
The CAT28C256 is a fast, low power, 5V-only CMOS parallel EEPROM organized as 32K x 8-bits. It requires a simple interface for in-system programming. On-chip address and data latches, self-timed write cycle with autoclear and VCC power up/down write protection eliminate additional timing and protection hardware. DATA Polling and Toggle status bits signal the start and end of the selftimed write cycle. Additionally, the CAT28C256 features hardware and software write protection. The CAT28C256 is manufactured using Catalyst's advanced CMOS floating gate technology. It is designed to endure 100,000 program/erase cycles and has a data retention of 100 years. The device is available in JEDEC approved 28-pin DIP, 28-pin TSOP or 32-pin PLCC packages.

DEVICE OPERATION
Read Data stored in the CAT28C256 is transferred to the data bus when WE is held high, and both OE and CE are held low. The data bus is set to a high impedance state when either CE or OE goes high. This 2-line control architecture can be used to eliminate bus contention in a system environment.
Byte Write A write cycle is executed when both CE and WE are low, and OE is high. Write cycles can be initiated using either WE or CE, with the address input being latched on the falling edge of WE or CE, whichever occurs last. Data, conversely, is latched on the rising edge of WE or CE, whichever occurs first. Once initiated, a byte write cycle automatically erases the addressed byte and the new data is written within 5 ms.

CAT28C256
Page Write The page write mode of the CAT28C256 (essentially an extended BYTE WRITE mode) allows from 1 to 64 bytes of data to be programmed within a single E2PROM write cycle. This effectively reduces the byte-write time by a factor of 64. Following an initial WRITE operation (WE pulsed low, for tWP, and then high) the page write mode can begin by issuing sequential WE pulses, which load the address and data bytes into a 64 byte temporary buffer. The page address where data is to be written, specified by bits A6 to A14, is latched on the last falling edge of WE. Each byte within the page is defined by address bits A0 to A5 Figure 5.

(which can be loaded in any order) during the first and subsequent write cycles. Each successive byte load cycle must begin within tBLC MAX of the rising edge of the preceding WE pulse. There is no page write window limitation as long as WE is pulsed low within tBLC MAX. Upon completion of the page write sequence, WE must stay high a minimum of tBLC MAX for the internal automatic program cycle to commence. This programming cycle consists of an erase cycle, which erases any data that existed in each addressed cell, and a write cycle, which writes new data back into the cell. A page write will only write data to the locations that were addressed and will not rewrite the entire page.

CAT28C256
DATA Polling DATA polling is provided to indicate the completion of write cycle. Once a byte write or page write cycle is initiated, attempting to read the last byte written will output the complement of that data on I/O7 (I/O0I/O6 are indeterminate) until the programming cycle is complete. Upon completion of the self-timed write cycle, all I/O's will output true data during a read cycle. Toggle Bit In addition to the DATA Polling feature of the CAT28C256, the device offers an additional method for determining the completion of a write cycle. While a write cycle is in progress, reading data from the device will result in I/O6 toggling between one and zero. However, once the write is complete, I/O6 stops toggling and valid data can be read from the device.

CAT28C256
HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION The following is a list of hardware data protection features that are incorporated into the CAT28C256. (1) VCC sense provides for write protection when VCC falls below 3.5V min. (2) A power on delay mechanism, tINIT (see AC characteristics), provides a 5 to 10 ms delay before a write sequence, after VCC has reached 3.5V min. (3) Write inhibit is activated by holding any one of OE low, CE high or WE high. (4) Noise pulses of less than 20 ns on the WE or CE inputs will not result in a write cycle. SOFTWARE DATA PROTECTION The CAT28C256 features a software controlled data protection scheme which, once enabled, requires a data algorithm to be issued to the device before a write can be performed. The device is shipped from Catalyst with the software protection NOT ENABLED (the CAT28C256 is in the standard operating mode).

CAT28C256
To activate the software data protection, the device must be sent three write commands to specific addresses with specific data (Figure 9). This sequence of commands (along with subsequent writes) must adhere to the page write timing specifications (Figure 11). Once this is done, all subsequent byte or page writes to the device must be preceded by this same set of write commands. The data protection mechanism is activated until a deactivate sequence is issued regardless of power on/off transitions. This gives the user added inadvertent write protection on power-up in addition to the hardware protection provided. Figure 11. Software Data Protection Timing
DATA ADDRESS CE tWP WE
5096 FHD F13
To allow the user the ability to program the device with an E2PROM programmer (or for testing purposes) there is a software command sequence for deactivating the data protection. The six step algorithm (Figure 10) will reset the internal protection circuitry, and the device will return to standard operating mode (Figure 12 provides reset timing). After the sixth byte of this reset sequence has been issued, standard byte or page writing can commence.
