Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. 93XX66A/B/C devices
are 4K bit low voltage serial Electrically Erasable
PROMs (EEPROM). Word-selectable devices such as
the 93AA66C, 93LC66C or 93C66C are dependent
upon external logic levels driving the ORG pin to set
word size. For dedicated 8-bit communication, the
93AA66A, 93LC66A or 93C66A devices are available,
while the 93AA66B, 93LC66B and 93C66B devices
provide dedicated 16-bit communication. Advanced
CMOS technology makes these devices ideal for low
power, non-volatile memory applications. The entire
93XX Series is available in standard packages includ-
ing 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced packaging
including 8-lead MSOP, 6-lead SOT-23, and 8-lead
TSSOP. Pb-free (Pure Matte Sn) finish is also
available.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.2
Data In/Data Out (DI/DO)
When the ORG* pin is connected to V
CC
, the (x16)
organization is selected. When it is connected to
ground, the (x8) organization is selected. Instructions,
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.
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 A0,
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
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.
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.
Note:
For added protection, an EWDS command
should be performed after every write
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.
