proprietary, high performance, floating
gate CMOS technology.
The FT28C512/513 is a 5V only
device.
The
FT28C512/513
features the JEDEC
approved pin out for byte wide memories, compatible
with industry standard EPROMS.
The
FT28C512/513
supports a 128-byte page write
operation, effectively providing a 39µs/byte write cycle
and enabling the entire memory to be written in less
than 2.5 seconds. The

The Address inputs select an 8-bit memory location
during a read or write operation.
Chip Enable (CE)
The Chip Enable input must be LOW to enable all read/
write operations. When CE is HIGH, power consump-
tion is reduced.
Output Enable (OE)
The Output Enable input controls the data output buff-
ers and is used to initiate read operations.

DEVICE OPERATION
Read
Read operations are initiated by both OE and CE LOW.
The read operation is terminated by either CE or OE
returning HIGH. This two line control architecture elimi-
nates bus contention in a system environment. The
data bus will be in a high impedance state when either
OE or CE is HIGH.
Write
Write operations are initiated when both CE and WE
are LOW and OE is HIGH. The
FT28C512/513
supports
both a CE and WE controlled write cycle. That is, the
address is latched by the falling edge of either CE or
WE, whichever occurs last. Similarly, the data is
latched internally by the rising edge of either CE or
WE, whichever occurs first. A byte write operation,
once initiated, will automatically continue to comple-
tion, typically within 5ms.
Page Write Operation
The page write feature of the
FT28C512/513
allows the
entire memory to be written in 2.5 seconds. Page write
allows two to one hundred twenty-eight bytes of data to
be consecutively written to the
FT28C512/513,
prior to
the commencement of the internal programming cycle.
The host can fetch data from another device within the
system during a page write operation (change the
source address), but the page address (A
7
through
A
15
) for each subsequent valid write cycle to the part
during this operation must be the same as the initial
page address.
The page write mode can be initiated during any write
operation. Following the initial byte write cycle, the host
can write an additional one to one hundred twenty-
seven bytes in the same manner as the first byte was
written. Each successive byte load cycle, started by
the WE HIGH to LOW transition, must begin within
100µs of the falling edge of the preceding WE. If a sub-
sequent WE HIGH to LOW transition is not detected
within 100µs, the internal automatic programming
cycle will commence. There is no page write window
limitation. Effectively, the page write window is infinitely
wide, so long as the host continues to access the
device within the byte load cycle time of 100µs.

Toggle Bit
DATA Polling
Write Operation Status Bits
The
FT28C512/513
provides the user two write opera-
tion status bits. These can be used to optimise a sys-
tem write cycle time. The status bits are mapped onto
the I/O bus as shown in Figure 1.

The
FT28C512/513
features DATA polling as a method
to indicate to the host system that the byte write or
page write cycle has completed. DATA Polling allows a
simple bit test operation to determine the status of the
FT28C512/513,
eliminating additional interrupt inputs or
external hardware. During the internal programming
cycle, any attempt to read the last byte written will pro-
duce the complement of that data on I/O
7
(i.e. write
data = 0xxx xxxx, read data = 1xxx xxxx). Once the
programming cycle is complete, I/O
7
will reflect true
data.
Toggle Bit (I/O
6
)
The
FT28C512/513
also provides another method for
determining when the internal write cycle is complete.
During the internal programming cycle, I/O
6
will toggle
from HIGH to LOW and LOW to HIGH on subsequent
attempts to read the device. When the internal cycle is
complete, the toggling will cease, and the device will
be accessible for additional read or write operations.

HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION
Load Accum

The
FT28C512/513
provides three hardware features
that protect nonvolatile data from inadvertent writes.
– Noise Protection—A WE pulse typically less than
10ns will not initiate a write cycle.

Sense—All write functions are inhibited

– Write Inhibit—Holding either OE LOW, WE HIGH, or
CE HIGH will prevent an inadvertent write cycle dur-
ing power-up and power-down, maintaining data
integrity. Write cycle timing specifications must be
observed concurrently.

operating mode. In this mode data should be protected
during power-up/-down operations through the use of
external circuits. The host would then have open read
