DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C33/65 is a 32K/64K-Bit SPI Serial CMOS
EEPROM internally organized as 4Kx8/8Kx8 bits.
Catalyst’s advanced CMOS Technology substantially
reduces device power requirements. The CAT25C33/
65 features a 64-byte page write buffer. The device
operates via the SPI bus serial interface and is enabled
though a Chip Select (CS). In addition to the Chip Select,
the clock input (SCK), data in (SI) and data out (SO) are
required to access the device. The
HOLD
pin may be
used to suspend any serial communication without
resetting the serial sequence. The CAT25C32/64 is
designed with software and hardware write protection
features including Block write protection. The device is
available in 8-pin DIP, 8-pin SOIC, 14-pin TSSOP and
20-pin TSSOP packages.

CAT25C33/65
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C33/65 supports the SPI bus data
transmission protocol. The synchronous Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) helps the CAT25C33/65 to interface
directly with many of today’s popular microcontrollers.
The CAT25C33/65 contains an 8-bit instruction register.
(The instruction set and the operation codes are detailed
in the instruction set table)
After the device is selected with
CS
going low, the first
byte will be received. The part is accessed via the SI pin,
with data being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK.
The first byte contains one of the six op-codes that define
the operation to be performed.

PIN DESCRIPTION
SI: Serial Input
SI is the serial data input pin. This pin is used to input all
opcodes, byte addresses, and data to be written to the
25C33/65. Input data is latched on the rising edge of the
serial clock.
SO: Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the 25C33/65. During a read cycle,
data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock.

CAT25C33/65
SCK: Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchro-
nize the communication between the microcontroller
and the 25C33/65. Opcodes, byte addresses, or data
present on the SI pin are latched on the rising edge of the
SCK. Data on the SO pin is updated on the falling edge
of the SCK.
WP
Write Protect
WP:
WP
is the Write Protect pin. The Write Protect pin will allow
normal read/write operations when held high. When
WP
is
tied low and the WPEN bit in the status register is set to “1”,
all write operations to the status register are inhibited.
WP
going low while
CS
is still low will interrupt a write to the status
register. If the internal write cycle has already been initiated,
WP
going low will have no effect on any write operation to the
status register. The
WP
pin function is blocked when the
WPEN bit is set to 0.
HOLD:
HOLD
Hold
The
HOLD
pin is used to pause transmission to the
CAT25C33/65 while in the middle of a serial sequence
without having to re-transmit entire sequence at a later time.
To pause,
HOLD
must be brought low while SCK is low. The
SO pin is in a high impedance state during
the time the part is paused, and transitions on the SI pins
will be ignored. To resume communication,
HOLD
is brought
high, while SCK is low.
(HOLD
should be held high any time
this function is not being used.)
HOLD
may be tied high
CS:
CS
Chip Select
CS
is the Chip select pin.
CS
low enables the CAT25C33/
65 and
CS
high disables the CAT25C33/65.
CS
high
takes the SO output pin to high impedance and forces
the devices into a Standby Mode (unless an internal
write operation is underway). The CAT25C33/65 draws
ZERO current in the Standby mode. A high to low
transition on
CS
is required prior to any sequence being
initiated. A low to high transition on
CS
after a valid write
sequence is what initiates an internal write cycle.
