DESCRIPTION
The CAT93HC46 is a 1-kb Serial EEPROM memory
device which is configured as registers of either 16 bits
(ORG pin at V
CC
) or 8 bits (ORG pin at GND). Each
register can be written (or read) serially by using the DI
(or DO) pin. The CAT93HC46 is manufactured using
Catalyst’s advanced CMOS EEPROM floating gate

CAT93HC46
DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT93HC46 is a 1024-bit nonvolatile memory
intended for use with industry standard microprocessors.
The CAT93HC46 can be organized as registers of either
16 bits or 8 bits. When organized as X16, seven 9-bit
instructions control the reading, writing and erase
operations of the device. When organized as X8, seven
10-bit instructions control the operation of the device.
The CAT93HC46 operates on a single power supply and
will generate on chip the high voltage required during
write operation.
Instructions, addresses, and data are clocked into the DI
pin on the rising edge of the clock (SK). The DO pin is
normally in a high impedance state, except when reading
data from the device, or when checking the ready/busy
status after a write operation.
The ready/busy status can be determined after the start
of a write operation by selecting the device (CS high) and
polling the DO pin; DO low indicates that the write
operation is not completed, while DO high indicates that
the device is ready for the next instruction. If necessary,
the DO pin may be placed back into a high impedance
state by shifting a dummy “1” into the DI pin. The DO pin
will enter the high impedance state on the falling edge of
the clock (SK). Placing the DO pin into the high impedance
state is recommended in applications where the DI pin
and the DO pin are to be tied together to form a common
DI/O pin.
The format for all instructions sent to the device is a
logical "1" start bit, a 2-bit (or 4-bit) opcode, 6-bit byte/
word address (an additional bit when organized X8) and
for write operations a 16-bit data field (8-bit for X8
organization).

CAT93HC46
Read
Upon receiving a READ command and an address
(clocked into the DI pin), the DO pin of the CAT93HC46
will come out of the high impedance state; after an initial
dummy zero bit, data will be shifted out, MSB first. The
output will toggle on the rising edge of the SK clock and
will be stable after the specified time delay (t
PD0
or t
PD1
)
After the 1st data word has been shifted out and CS
remains asserted with the SK clock continuing to toggle,
the CAT93HC46 will automatically increment to the next
address and shift out the next data word. As long as CS
is continuously asserted and SK continues to toggle, the
device will keep incrementing to the next address
automatically until it reaches the end of the address
space, then loops back to address 0. In the sequential
READ mode, only the initial data word is preceeded by
a dummy zero bit; all subsequent data words will follow
without a dummy zero bit.
Write
After receiving a WRITE command, address and data,
the CS (Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a
minimum of t
CSMIN
. The falling edge of CS will start the
self-timed clear and data store cycle into the specified
memory location. The clocking of the SK pin is not
necessary after the device has entered the self-timed
mode. (Note 1.) The ready/busy status of the CAT93HC46
can be determined by selecting the device and polling
the DO pin. Since this device features Auto-Clear before
write, it is NOT necessary to erase a memory location
before it is written into.

Upon receiving an ERASE command and address, the

clear cycle of the selected memory location. The clocking
of the SK pin is not necessary after the device has
entered the self-timed mode. (Note 1.) The ready/busy
status of the CAT93HC46 can be determined by selecting
the device and polling the DO pin. Once cleared, the
content of a cleared location returns to a logical “1” state.
