DESCRIPTION
(cont’d)
The 1K bit memory is divided into either 128 x 8 bit
bytes or 64 x 16 bit words. The organization may
be selected by a signal on the ORG input. The
memory is accessed by a set of instructions which
includes Read a byte/word, Write a byte/word,
Erase a byte/word, Erase All and Write All.
A Read instruction loads the address of the first
byte/word to be read into an internal address
pointer. The data is then clocked out serially.
The address pointer is automatically incremented
after the data is output and, if the Chip Select input
(S) is held High, the ST93C46 can output a sequen-
tial stream of data bytes/words. In this way, the
memory can be read as a data stream from 8 to
1024 bits long, or continuously as the address

Notes:
1. Chip Select must be brought low for a minimum of 250 ns (t
SLSH
) between consecutive instruction cycles.
2. The Clock frequency specification calls for a minimum clock period of 1
µs,
therefore the sum of the timings t
CHCL
+ t
CLCH
must be greater or equal to 1
µs.
For example, if t
CHCL
is 250 ns, then t
CLCH
must be at least 750 ns.

DESCRIPTION
(cont’d)
counter automatically rolls over to ’00’ when the
highest address is reached.
Programming is internally self-timed (the external
clock signal on C input may be disconnected or left
running after the start of a Write cycle) and does
not require an erase cycle prior to the Write instruc-
tion. The Write instruction writes 8 or 16 bits at one
time into one of the 128 bytes or 64 words. After
the start of the programming cycle a Busy/Ready
signal is available on the Data output (Q) when
Chip Select (S) is High.
An internal feature of the ST93C46 provides
Power-on Data Protection by inhibiting any opera-
tion when the Supply is too low. The design of the
ST93C46 and the High Endurance CMOS technol-
ogy used for its fabrication give an Erase/Write
cycle Endurance of 1,000,000 cycles and a data
retention of 40 years.
The DU (Don’t Use) pin does not affect the function
of the memory and it is reserved for use by SGS-
THOMSON during test sequences.The pin may be
left unconnected or may be connected to V
CC
or
V
SS
. Direct connection of DU to V
SS
is recom-
mended for the lowest standby power consump-
tion.
