Description
The AT28HC64B is a high-performance electrically erasable and programmable read
only memory (EEPROM). Its 64K of memory is organized as 8,192 words by 8 bits.
Manufactured with Atmel’s advanced nonvolatile CMOS technology, the device offers
access times to 55 ns with power dissipation of just 220 mW. When the device is
deselected, the CMOS standby current is less than 100
µA.
The AT28HC64B is accessed like a Static RAM for the read or write cycle without the
need for external components. The device contains a 64-byte page register to allow

writing of up to 64-bytes simultaneously. During a write cy-
cle, the addresses and 1 to 64-bytes of data are internally
latched, freeing the address and data bus for other opera-
tions. Following the initiation of a write cycle, the device
will automatically write the latched data using an internal
control timer. The end of a write cycle can be detected by
DATA Polling of I/O7. Once the end of a write cycle has
been detected, a new access for a read or write can begin.
Atmel’s AT28HC64B has additional features to ensure
high quality and manufacturability. The device utilizes in-
ternal error correction for extended endurance and im-
proved data retention. An optional software data protec-
tion mechanism is available to guard against inadvertent
writes. The device also includes an extra 64-bytes of
EEPROM for device identification or tracking.

Device Operation
READ:
The AT28HC64B is accessed like a Static RAM.
When CE and OE are low and WE is high, the data stored
at the memory location determined by the address pins is
asserted on the outputs. The outputs are put in the high-
impedance state when either CE or OE is high. This dual
line control gives designers flexibility in preventing bus
contention in their systems.
BYTE WRITE:
A low pulse on the WE or CE input with CE
or WE low (respectively) and OE high initiates a write cy-
cle. The address is latched on the falling edge of CE or
WE, whichever occurs last. The data is latched by the first
rising edge of CE or WE. Once a byte write has been
started, it will automatically time itself to completion. Once
a programming operation has been initiated and for the
duration of t
WC
, a read operation will effectively be a poll-
ing operation.
PAGE WRITE:
T h e p a g e w r i t e o p e r a t i o n o f t h e
AT28HC64B allows 1 to 64-bytes of data to be written into
the device during a single internal programming period. A
page write operation is initiated in the same manner as a
byte write; after the first byte is written, it can then be fol-
lowed by 1 to 63 additional bytes. Each successive byte
must be loaded within 150
µs
(t
BLC
) of the previous byte.
If the t
BLC
limit is exceeded, the AT28HC64B will cease
accepting data and commence the internal programming
operation. All bytes during a page write operation must re-
side on the same page as defined by the state of the A6 to
A12 inputs. For each WE high to low transition during the
page write operation, A6 to A12 must be the same.
The A0 to A5 inputs specify which bytes within the page
are to be written. The bytes may be loaded in any order
and may be altered within the same load period. Only
bytes which are specified for writing will be written; unnec-
essary cycling of other bytes within the page does not oc-
cur.
DATA POLLING:
The AT28HC64B features DATA Poll-
ing to indicate the end of a write cycle. During a byte or
page write cycle, an attempted read of the last byte written
will result in the complement of the written data to be pre-
sented on I/O7. Once the write cycle has been completed,
true data is valid on all outputs, and the next write cycle
may begin. DATA Polling may begin at any time during the
write cycle.
TOGGLE BIT:
I n a d d i t i o n t o DATA P o l l i n g , t he
AT28HC64B provides another method for determining the
end of a write cycle. During the write operation, succes-
sive attempts to read data from the device will result in
I/O6 toggling between one and zero. Once the write has
completed, I/O6 will stop toggling, and valid data will be
read. Toggle bit reading may begin at any time during the
write cycle.
DATA PROTECTION:
If precautions are not taken, inad-
vertent writes may occur during transitions of the host sys-
tem power supply. Atmel has incorporated both hardware
and software features that will protect the memory against
inadvertent writes.
HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION:
Hardware features
protect against inadvertent writes to the AT28HC64B in
the following ways: (a) V
CC
sense - if V
CC
is below 3.8V
(typical), the write function is inhibited; (b) V
CC
power-on
delay - once V
CC
has reached 3.8V, the device will auto-
matically time out 5 ms (typical) before allowing a write; (c)
write inhibit - holding any one of OE low, CE high or WE
high inhibits write cycles; (d) noise filter - pulses of less
than 15 ns (typical) on the WE or CE inputs will not initiate
a write cycle.
SOFTWARE DATA PROTECTION:
A software-control-
led data protection feature has been implemented on the
AT28HC64B. When enabled, the software data protection
(SDP), will prevent inadvertent writes. The SDP feature
may be enabled or disabled by the user; the AT28HC64B
is shipped from Atmel with SDP disabled.
SDP is enabled by the user issuing a series of three write
commands in which three specific bytes of data are written
to three specific addresses (refer to the
Software Data
Protection Algorithm
diagram in this data sheet). After writ-
ing the 3-byte command sequence and waiting t
WC
, the
entire AT28HC64B will be protected against inadvertent
writes. It should be noted that even after SDP is enabled,
the user may still perform a byte or page write to the
AT28HC64B. This is done by preceding the data to be
written by the same 3-byte command sequence used to
enable SDP.
Once set, SDP remains active unless the disable com-
mand sequence is issued. Power transitions do not dis-
able SDP, and SDP protects the AT28HC64B during
power-up and power-down conditions. All command se-
quences must conform to the page write timing specifica-
tions. The data in the enable and disable command se-
quences is not actually written into the device; their ad-
dresses may still be written with user data in either a byte
or page write operation.
After setting SDP, any attempt to write to the device with-
out the 3-byte command sequence will start the internal
write timers. No data will be written to the device, however.
For the duration of t
WC
, read operations will effectively be
polling operations.
