Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 93XX46A/B/C devices
are 1Kbit low-voltage serial Electrically Erasable
PROMs (EEPROM). Word-selectable devices such as
the 93AA46C, 93LC46C or 93C46C are dependent
upon external logic levels driving the ORG pin to set
word size. For dedicated 8-bit communication, the
93AA46A, 93LC46A or 93C46A devices are available,
while the 93AA46B, 93LC46B and 93C46B devices
provide dedicated 16-bit communication. Advanced
CMOS technology makes these devices ideal for low-
power, nonvolatile memory applications. The entire
93XX Series is available in standard packages includ-
ing 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced packaging
including 8-lead MSOP, 6-lead SOT-23, 8-lead
2x3 DFN/TDFN and 8-lead TSSOP. All packages are
Pb-free (Matte Tin) finish.

2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the ORG pin (93XX46C) is connected to VCC,
the (x16) organization is selected. When it is connected
to ground, the (x8) organization is selected. Instruc-
tions, addresses and write data are clocked into the DI
pin on the rising edge of the clock (CLK). The DO pin is
normally held in a High-Z state except when reading
data from the device, or when checking the Ready/
Busy status during a programming operation. The
Ready/Busy status can be verified during an erase/
write operation by polling the DO pin; DO low indicates
that programming is still in progress, while DO high
indicates the device is ready. DO will enter the High-Z
state on the falling edge of CS.
2.1 Start Condition
The Start bit is detected by the device if CS and DI are
both high with respect to the positive edge of CLK for
the first time.
Before a Start condition is detected, CS, CLK and DI
may change in any combination (except to that of a
Start condition), without resulting in any device
operation (Read, Write, Erase, EWEN, EWDS, ERAL
or WRAL). As soon as CS is high, the device is no
longer in Standby mode.
An instruction following a Start condition will only be
executed if the required opcode, address and data bits
for any particular instruction are clocked in.
2.2 Data In/Data Out (DI/DO)
It is possible to connect the Data In and Data Out pins
together. However, with this configuration it is possible
for a “bus conflict” to occur during the “dummy zero”
that precedes the read operation if A0 is a logic high
level. Under such a condition the voltage level seen at
Data Out is undefined and will depend upon the relative
impedances of Data Out and the signal source driving
A0. The higher the current sourcing capability of A0,
the higher the voltage at the Data Out pin. In order to
limit this current, a resistor should be connected
between DI and DO.
2.3 Data Protection
All modes of operation are inhibited when VCC is below
a typical voltage of 1.5V for ‘93AA’ and ‘93LC’ devices
or 3.8V for ‘93C’ devices.
The EWEN and EWDS commands give additional
protection against accidentally programming during
normal operation.
After power-up, the device is automatically in the
EWDS mode. Therefore, an EWEN instruction must be
performed before the initial ERASE or WRITE instruction
can be executed.
Block Diagram
Note: When preparing to transmit an instruction,
either the CLK or DI signal levels must be
at a logic low as CS is toggled active high.
Note: For added protection, an EWDS command
should be performed after every write
operation and an external 10 k pull-
down protection resistor should be added
to the CS pin.

2.4 Erase
The ERASE instruction forces all data bits of the
specified address to the logical ‘1’ state. CS is brought
low following the loading of the last address bit. This
falling edge of the CS pin initiates the self-timed
programming cycle, except on ‘93C’ devices where the
rising edge of CLK before the last address bit initiates
the write cycle.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (TCSL). DO at logical ‘0’ indicates that programming
is still in progress. DO at logical1’ indicates that the
register at the specified address has been erased and
the device is ready for another instruction.

2.5 Erase All (ERAL)
The Erase All (ERAL) instruction will erase the entire
memory array to the logical ‘1’ state. The ERAL cycle
is identical to the erase cycle, except for the different
opcode. The ERAL cycle is completely self-timed and
commences at the falling edge of the CS, except on
‘93C’ devices where the rising edge of CLK before the
last data bit initiates the write cycle. Clocking of the
CLK pin is not necessary after the device has entered
the ERAL cycle.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (TCSL).
VCC must be 4.5V for proper operation of ERAL.

2.6 Erase/Write Disable and Enable
(EWDS/EWEN)
The 93XX46A/B/C powers up in the Erase/Write Disable
(EWDS) state. All programming modes must be preceded
by an Erase/Write Enable (EWEN) instruction. Once the
EWEN instruction is executed, programming remains
enabled until an EWDS instruction is executed or Vcc is
removed from the device.
To protect against accidental data disturbance, the EWDS
instruction can be used to disable all erase/write functions
and should follow all programming operations. Execution
of a READ instruction is independent of both the EWEN and
EWDS instructions.
FIGURE 2-5: EWDS TIMING
FIGURE 2-6: EWEN TIMING
2.7 Read
The READ instruction outputs the serial data of the
addressed memory location on the DO pin. A dummy
zero bit precedes the 8-bit (if ORG pin is low or A-version
devices) or 16-bit (if ORG pin is high or B-version
devices) output string.
The output data bits will toggle on the rising edge of the
CLK and are stable after the specified time delay (TPD).
Sequential read is possible when CS is held high. The
memory data will automatically cycle to the next register
and output sequentially.

2.8 Write
The WRITE instruction is followed by 8 bits (if ORG is
low or A-version devices) or 16 bits (if ORG pin is high
or B-version devices) of data, which are written into the
specified address. For 93AA46A/B/C and 93LC46A/B/C
devices, after the last data bit is clocked into DI, the
falling edge of CS initiates the self-timed auto-erase and
programming cycle. For 93C46A/B/C devices, the self-
timed auto-erase and programming cycle is initiated by
the rising edge of CLK on the last data bit.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (TCSL). DO at logical ‘0’ indicates that programming
is still in progress. DO at logical ‘1’ indicates that the
register at the specified address has been written with
the data specified and the device is ready for another
instruction.

2.9 Write All (WRAL)
The Write All (WRAL) instruction will write the entire
memory array with the data specified in the command.
For 93AA46A/B/C and 93LC46A/B/C devices, after the
last data bit is clocked into DI, the falling edge of CS
initiates the self-timed auto-erase and programming
cycle. For 93C46A/B/C devices, the self-timed auto-
erase and programming cycle is initiated by the rising
edge of CLK on the last data bit. Clocking of the CLK
pin is not necessary after the device has entered the
WRAL cycle. The WRAL command does include an
automatic ERAL cycle for the device. Therefore, the
WRAL instruction does not require an ERAL instruction,
but the chip must be in the EWEN status.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (TCSL).
VCC must be 4.5V for proper operation of WRAL.

3.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
TABLE 3-1: PIN DESCRIPTIONS
3.1 Chip Select (CS)
A high level selects the device; a low level deselects
the device and forces it into Standby mode. However, a
programming cycle that is already in progress will be
completed, regardless of the Chip Select (CS) input
signal. If CS is brought low during a program cycle, the
device will go into Standby mode as soon as the
programming cycle is completed.
CS must be low for 250 ns minimum (T
CSL) between
consecutive instructions. If CS is low, the internal
control logic is held in a Reset status.

The Serial Clock is used to synchronize the communi-
cation between a master device and the 93XX series
device. Opcodes, address and data bits are clocked in
on the positive edge of CLK. Data bits are also clocked
out on the positive edge of CLK.
CLK can be stopped anywhere in the transmission
sequence (at high or low level) and can be continued
anytime with respect to clock high time (TCKH) and
clock low time (TCKL). This gives the controlling master
freedom in preparing opcode, address and data.
CLK is a “don't care” if CS is low (device deselected). If
CS is high, but the Start condition has not been
detected (DI = 0), any number of clock cycles can be
received by the device without changing its status (i.e.,
waiting for a Start condition).
CLK cycles are not required during the self-timed write
(i.e., auto erase/write) cycle.
After detection of a Start condition the specified number
of clock cycles (respectively low-to-high transitions of
CLK) must be provided. These clock cycles are
required to clock in all required opcode, address and
data bits before an instruction is executed. CLK and DI
then become “don't care” inputs waiting for a new Start
condition to be detected.
3.3 Data In (DI)
Data In (DI) is used to clock in a Start bit, opcode,
address and data synchronously with the CLK input.
3.4 Data Out (DO)
Data Out (DO) is used in the Read mode to output data
synchronously with the CLK input (TPD after the
positive edge of CLK).
This pin also provides Ready/Busy status information
during erase and write cycles. Ready/Busy status infor-
mation is available on the DO pin if CS is brought high
after being low for minimum Chip Select low time (TCSL)
and an erase or write operation has been initiated.
The Status signal is not available on DO if CS is held
low during the entire erase or write cycle. In this case,
DO is in the High-Z mode. If status is checked after the
erase/write cycle, the data line will be high to indicate
the device is ready.
3.5 Organization (ORG)
When the ORG pin is connected to VCC or Logic HI, the
(x16) memory organization is selected. When the ORG
pin is tied to VSS or Logic LO, the (x8) memory
organization is selected. For proper operation, ORG
must be tied to a valid logic level.
93XX46A devices are always (x8) organization and
93XX46B devices are always (x16) organization.
