The X40430/31 combines power-on reset control,
watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, secondary
and third voltage supervision, manual reset, and Block
Lock™ protect serial EEPROM in one package. This
combination lowers system cost, reduces board space
requirements, and increases reliability.
Applying voltage to VCC activates the power on reset
circuit which holds RESET/RESET active for a period of
time. This allows the power supply and system oscillator
to stabilize before the processor can execute code.
Low VCC detection circuitry protects the user’s system
from low voltage conditions, resetting the system when
VCC falls below the minimum VTRIP1 point. RESET/
RESET is active until VCC returns to proper operating
level and stabilizes. A second and third voltage monitor
circuit tracks the unregulated supply to provide a
power fail warning or monitors different power supply
voltage. Three common low voltage combinations are
available, however, Xicor’s unique circuits allows the
threshold for either voltage monitor to be reprogrammed to meet special needs or to fine-tune the
threshold for applications requiring higher precision.

X40430/X40431 – Preliminary Information
A manual reset input provides debounce circuitry for
minimum reset component count.
The Watchdog Timer provides an independent protection mechanism for microcontrollers. When the microcontroller fails to restart a timer within a selectable time
out interval, the device activates the WDO signal. The
user selects the interval from three preset values. Once
selected, the interval does not change, even after
cycling the power.
The memory portion of the device is a CMOS Serial
EEPROM array with Xicor’s Block Lock protection. The
array is internally organized as x 8. The device features
a 2-wire interface and software protocol allowing operation on an I2C bus.
The device utilizes Xicor’s proprietary Direct Write™
cell, providing a minimum endurance of 1,000,000
cycles and a minimum data retention of 100 years.

SDA
Serial Data. SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the device. It has an
open drain output and may be wire ORed with other open drain or open collector outputs. This pin
requires a pull up resistor and the input buffer is always active (not gated).
Watchdog Input. A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA (while SCL is toggled from HIGH to LOW
and followed by a stop condition) restarts the Watchdog timer. The absence of this transition within
the watchdog time out period results in WDO going active.

– It prevents the processor from operating prior to stabilization of the oscillator.
– It allows time for an FPGA to download its configuration prior to initialization of the circuit.
– It prevents communication to the EEPROM, greatly
reducing the likelihood of data corruption on power up.
When VCC exceeds the device VTRIP1 threshold value
for tPURST (selectable) the circuit releases the RESET
(X40431) and RESET (X40430) pin allowing the system
to begin operation.

Manual Reset
By connecting a push-button directly from MR to
ground, the designer adds manual system reset capability. The MR pin is LOW while the push-button is
closed and RESET/RESET pin remains HIGH/LOW
until the push-button is released and for tPURST thereafter.

X40430/X40431 – Preliminary Information
Low Voltage VCC (V1 Monitoring)
During operation, the X40430 monitors the VCC level
and asserts RESET if supply voltage falls below a preset minimum VTRIP1. The RESET signal prevents the
microprocessor from operating in a power fail or
brownout condition. The RESET/RESET signal
remains active until the voltage drops below 1V. It also
remains active until VCC returns and exceeds VTRIP1
for tPURST.
Low Voltage V2 Monitoring
The X40430 also monitors a second voltage level and
asserts V2FAIL if the voltage falls below a preset minimum VTRIP2. The V2FAIL signal is either ORed with
RESET to prevent the microprocessor from operating
in a power fail or brownout condition or used to interrupt the microprocessor with notification of an impending power failure. The V2FAIL signal remains active
until the V2MON drops below 1V (V2MON falling). It
also remains active until V2MON returns and exceeds
VTRIP2 by 0.2V.
Low Voltage V3 Monitoring
The X40430 also monitors a third voltage level and
asserts V3FAIL if the voltage falls below a preset minimum VTRIP3. The V3FAIL signal is either ORed with
RESET to prevent the microprocessor from operating
in a power fail or brownout condition or used to interrupt the microprocessor with notification of an impending power failure. The V3FAIL signal remains active
until the V3MON drops below 1V (V3MON falling). It
also remains active until V3MON returns and exceeds
VTRIP3 by 0.2V.

WATCHDOG TIMER
The Watchdog Timer circuit monitors the microprocessor activity by monitoring the SDA and SCL pins. The
microprocessor must toggle the SDA pin HIGH to LOW
periodically, while SCL also toggles from HIGH to LOW
(this is a start bit) followed by a stop condition prior to
the expiration of the watchdog time out period to prevent a WDO signal going active. The state of two nonvolatile control bits in the Status Register determine
the watchdog timer period. The microprocessor can
change these watchdog bits by writing to the X40430/
31 control register (also refer to page 20).

V1, V2 AND V3 THRESHOLD PROGRAM
PROCEDURE
The X40430 is shipped with standard V1, V2 and V3
threshold (VTRIP1, VTRIP2, VTRIP3) voltages. These
values will not change over normal operating and storage conditions. However, in applications where the
standard thresholds are not exactly right, or if higher
REV 1.2.3 11/28/00
tWC
precision is needed in the threshold value, the X40430
trip points may be adjusted. The procedure is described
below, and uses the application of a high voltage control
signal.
Setting a VTRIPx Voltage (x=1, 2, 3)
There are two procedures used to set the threshold
voltages (VTRIPx), depending if the threshold voltage to
be stored is higher or lower than the present value. For
example, if the present VTRIPx is 2.9 V and the new
VTRIPx is 3.2 V, the new voltage can be stored directly
into the VTRIPx cell. If however, the new setting is to be
lower than the present setting, then it is necessary to
“reset” the VTRIPx voltage before setting the new value.
Setting a Higher VTRIPx Voltage (x=1, 2, 3)
To set a VTRIPx threshold to a new voltage which is
higher than the present threshold, the user must apply
the desired VTRIPx threshold voltage to the corresponding input pin (Vcc(V1MON), V2MON or V3MON).
The Vcc(V1MON), V2MON and V3MON must be tied
together during this sequence. Then, a programming
voltage (Vp) must be applied to the WDO pin before a
START condition is set up on SDA. Next, issue on the
SDA pin the Slave Address A0h, followed by the Byte
Address 01h for VTRIP1, 09h for VTRIP2, and 0Dh for
VTRIP3, and a 00h Data Byte in order to program
VTRIPx. The STOP bit following a valid write operation
initiates the programming sequence. Pin WDO must
then be brought LOW to complete the operation

X40430/X40431 – Preliminary Information
Note: This operation does not corrupt the memory
array.
Setting a Lower VTRIPx Voltage (x=1, 2, 3)
In order to set VTRIPx to a lower voltage than the
present value, then VTRIPx must first be “reset” according to the procedure described below. Once VTRIPx
has been “reset”, then VTRIPx can be set to the desired
voltage using the procedure described in “Setting a
Higher VTRIPx Voltage”.
Resetting the VTRIPx Voltage
To reset a VTRIPx voltage, apply the programming voltage (Vp) to the WDO pin before a START condition is
set up on SDA. Next, issue on the SDA pin the Slave
Address A0h followed by the Byte Address 03h for
VTRIP1, 0Bh for VTRIP2, and 0Fh for VTRIP3, followed
by 00h for the Data Byte in order to reset VTRIPx. The
STOP bit following a valid write operation initiates the
programming sequence. Pin WDO must then be
brought LOW to complete the operation.
After being reset, the value of VTRIPx becomes a nominal value of 1.7V or lesser.
Note: This operation does not corrupt the memory
array.
Control Register
The Control Register provides the user a mechanism
for changing the Block Lock and Watchdog Timer settings. The Block Lock and Watchdog Timer bits are
nonvolatile and do not change when power is removed.
The Control Register is accessed with a special preamble in the slave byte (1011) and is located at
address 1FFh. It can only be modified by performing a
byte write operation directly to the address of the register and only one data byte is allowed for each register
write operation. Prior to writing to the Control Register,
the WEL and RWEL bits must be set using a two step
process, with the whole sequence requiring 3 steps.
See "Writing to the Control Registers" on page 7.
The user must issue a stop, after sending this byte to
the register, to initiate the nonvolatile cycle that stores
WD1, WD0, PUP1, PUP0, BP1, and BP0. The X40430
will not acknowledge any data bytes written after the
first byte is entered.
The state of the Control Register can be read at any
time by performing a random read at address 1FFh,
using the special preamble. Only one byte is read by
each register read operation. The master should
supply a stop condition to be consistent with the bus
protocol.

WEL: Write Enable Latch (Volatile)
The WEL bit controls the access to the memory and to
the Register during a write operation. This bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the LOW (disabled) state.
While the WEL bit is LOW, writes to any address,
including any control registers will be ignored (no
acknowledge will be issued after the Data Byte). The
WEL bit is set by writing a “1” to the WEL bit and
zeroes to the other bits of the control register.
Error > +MDE
Once set, WEL remains set until either it is reset to 0
(by writing a “0” to the WEL bit and zeroes to the other
bits of the control register) or until the part powers up
again. Writes to the WEL bit do not cause a high voltage write cycle, so the device is ready for the next
operation immediately after the stop condition.

– Write one byte value to the Control Register that has
all the control bits set to the desired state. The Control register can be represented as qxys t01r in
binary, where xy are the WD bits, and st are the BP
bits and qr are the power up bits. This operation proceeded by a start and ended with a stop bit. Since
this is a nonvolatile write cycle it will take up to 10ms
(max.) to complete. The RWEL bit is reset by this
cycle and the sequence must be repeated to change
the nonvolatile bits again. If bit 2 is set to ‘1’ in this
third step (qxys t11r) then the RWEL bit is set, but
the WD1, WD0, PUP1, PUP0, BP1 and BP0 bits
remain unchanged. Writing a second byte to the control register is not allowed. Doing so aborts the write
operation and returns a NACK.
– A read operation occurring between any of the previous operations will not interrupt the register write
operation.
– The RWEL bit cannot be reset without writing to the
nonvolatile control bits in the control register, power
cycling the device or attempting a write to a write
protected block.
To illustrate, a sequence of writes to the device consisting of [02H, 06H, 02H] will reset all of the nonvolatile
bits in the Control Register to 0. A sequence of [02H,
06H, 06H] will leave the nonvolatile bits unchanged
and the RWEL bit remains set.
Fault Detection Register (FDR)
The Fault Detection Register provides the user the
status of what causes the system reset active. The

LV1F
Writing to the Control Registers
Changing any of the nonvolatile bits of the control and
trickle registers requires the following steps:
– Write a 02H to the Control Register to set the Write

there is no delay after the write. (Operation preceded
by a start and ended with a stop).

data byte is allowed for each register write operation.
There is no need to set the WEL or RWEL in the
control register to access this FDR.
– Write a 06H to the Control Register to set the
Register Write Enable Latch (RWEL) and the WEL
bit. This is also a volatile cycle. The zeros in the data

At power-up, the FDR is defaulted to all “0”. The system needs to initialize this register to all “1” before the
actual monitoring can take place. In the event of any
one of the monitored sources fail. The corresponding
bit in the register will change from a “1” to a “0” to indicate the failure. At this moment, the system should perform a read to the register and note the cause of the
reset. After reading the register the system should
reset the register back to all “1” again. The state of the
FDR can be read at any time by performing a random
read at address 0FFh, using the special preamble.
Interface Conventions
The device supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data
onto the bus as a transmitter, and the receiving device
as the receiver. The device controlling the transfer is
called the master and the device being controlled is
called the slave. The master always initiates data
transfers, and provides the clock for both transmit and
receive operations. Therefore, the devices in this family
operate as slaves in all applications.
The FDR can be read by performing a random read at
0FFh address of the register at any time. Only one byte
of data is read by the register read operation.
Serial Clock and Data
Data states on the SDA line can change only during
SCL LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating start and stop conditions. See
Figure 7.
MRF, Manual Reset Fail Bit (Volatile)
The MRF bit will be set to “0” when Manual Reset input
goes active.
WDF, Watchdog Timer Fail Bit (Volatile)
The WDF bit will be set to “0” when the WDO goes
active.
LV1F, Low VCC Reset Fail Bit (Volatile)
The LV1F bit will be set to “0” when VCC (V1MON) falls
below VTRIP1.
LV2F, Low V2MON Reset Fail Bit (Volatile)
The LV2F bit will be set to “0” when V2MON falls below
VTRIP2.
LV3F, Low V3MON Reset Fail Bit (Volatile)
The LV3F bit will be set to “0” when the V3MON falls
below VTRIP3.
REV 1.2.3 11/28/00
Serial Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The device continuously monitors the SDA and
SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to
any command until this condition has been met. See
Figure 8.
Serial Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when
SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is also used to place
the device into the Standby power mode after a read
sequence. A stop condition can only be issued after the
transmitting device has released the bus. See Figure 8.

Serial Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfer. The transmitting device, either
master or slave, will release the bus after transmitting
eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the receiver will
pull the SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received
the eight bits of data. See Figure 9.
The device will respond with an acknowledge after recognition of a start condition and if the correct Device
Identifier and Select bits are contained in the Slave
Address Byte. If a write operation is selected, the
device will respond with an acknowledge after the
receipt of each subsequent eight bit word. The device
will acknowledge all incoming data and address bytes,
except for the Slave Address Byte when the Device
Identifier and/or Select bits are incorrect.
In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of
data, release the SDA line, then monitor the line for an
acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no
stop condition is generated by the master, the device
will continue to transmit data. The device will terminate
further data transmissions if an acknowledge is not
detected. The master must then issue a stop condition
to return the device to Standby mode and place the
device into a known state.
Serial Write Operations
Byte Write
For a write operation, the device requires the Slave
Address Byte and a Word Address Byte. This gives the
master access to any one of the words in the array.
After receipt of the Word Address Byte, the device
responds with an acknowledge, and awaits the next
eight bits of data. After receiving the 8 bits of the Data
Byte, the device again responds with an acknowledge.
The master then terminates the transfer by generating
a stop condition, at which time the device begins the
internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory. During
this internal write cycle, the device inputs are disabled, so
the device will not respond to any requests from the master. The SDA output is at high impedance. See Figure 10.
A write to a protected block of memory will suppress
the acknowledge bit.

Page Write
The device is capable of a page write operation. It is
initiated in the same manner as the byte write operation; but instead of terminating the write cycle after the
first data byte is transferred, the master can transmit
an unlimited number of 8-bit bytes. After the receipt of
each byte, the device will respond with an acknowledge, and the address is internally incremented by
one. The page address remains constant. When the
counter reaches the end of the page, it “rolls over” and
goes back to ‘0’ on the same page.

This means that the master can write 16 bytes to the
page starting at any location on that page. If the master begins writing at location 10, and loads 12 bytes,
then the first 6 bytes are written to locations 10 through
15, and the last 6 bytes are written to locations 0
through 5. Afterwards, the address counter would point
to location 6 of the page that was just written. If the
master supplies more than 16 bytes of data, then new
data overwrites the previous data, one byte at a time.

X40430/X40431 – Preliminary Information
Stops and Write Modes
Stop conditions that terminate write operations must
be sent by the master after sending at least 1 full data
byte plus the subsequent ACK signal. If a stop is
issued in the middle of a data byte, or before 1 full data
byte plus its associated ACK is sent, then the device
will reset itself without performing the write. The contents of the array will not be effected.

Byte Load Completed
by Issuing STOP.
Enter ACK Polling
Issue START
Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs during high voltage cycles
can be used to take advantage of the typical 5ms write
cycle time. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the master’s byte load operation, the
device initiates the internal high voltage cycle.
Acknowledge polling can be initiated immediately. To
do this, the master issues a start condition followed by
the Slave Address Byte for a write or read operation. If
the device is still busy with the high voltage cycle then
no ACK will be returned. If the device has completed
the write operation, an ACK will be returned and the
host can then proceed with the read or write operation.
See Figure 13.

Upon receipt of the Slave Address Byte with the R/W
bit set to one, the device issues an acknowledge and
then transmits the eight bits of the Data Byte. The master terminates the read operation when it does not
respond with an acknowledge during the ninth clock
and then issues a stop condition. See Figure 14 for the
address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.

Serial Read Operations
Read operations are initiated in the same manner as
write operations with the exception that the R/W bit of
the Slave Address Byte is set to one. There are three
basic read operations: Current Address Reads, Random Reads, and Sequential Reads.
Current Address Read
Internally the device contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word read incremented by one. Therefore, if the last read was to
address n, the next read operation would access data
from address n+1. On power up, the address of the
address counter is undefined, requiring a read or write
operation for initialization.
Issue STOP
PROCEED
It should be noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read
operation is not a “don’t care.” To terminate a read
operation, the master must either issue a stop condition during the ninth cycle or hold SDA HIGH during
the ninth clock cycle and then issue a stop condition.
Random Read
Random read operation allows the master to access any
memory location in the array. Prior to issuing the Slave
Address Byte with the R/W bit set to one, the master must
first perform a “dummy” write operation. The master
issues the start condition and the Slave Address Byte,
receives an acknowledge, then issues the Word Address
Bytes. After acknowledging receipts of the Word Address
Bytes, the master immediately issues another start condition and the Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit set to
one. This is followed by an acknowledge from the device
and then by the eight bit word. The master terminates the
read operation by not responding with an acknowledge
and then issuing a stop condition. See Figure 15 for the
address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.

X40430/X40431 – Preliminary Information
A similar operation called “Set Current Address” where
the device will perform this operation if a stop is issued
instead of the second start shown in Figure 14. The
device will go into standby mode after the stop and all
bus activity will be ignored until a start is detected. This
operation loads the new address into the address
counter. The next Current Address Read operation will
read from the newly loaded address. This operation
could be useful if the master knows the next address it
needs to read, but is not ready for the data.
The data output is sequential, with the data from
address n followed by the data from address n + 1. The
address counter for read operations increments through
all page and column addresses, allowing the entire
memory contents to be serially read during one operation. At the end of the address space the counter “rolls
over” to address 0000h and the device continues to output data for each acknowledge received. See Figure 16
for the acknowledge and data transfer sequence.
SERIAL DEVICE ADDRESSING
Sequential Read
Sequential reads can be initiated as either a current
address read or random address read. The first Data
Byte is transmitted as with the other modes; however,
the master now responds with an acknowledge, indicating it requires additional data. The device continues to
output data for each acknowledge received. The master
terminates the read operation by not responding with an
acknowledge and then issuing a stop condition.
Slave Address Byte
Following a start condition, the master must output a
Slave Address Byte. This byte consists of several parts:
– a device type identifier that is always ‘1010’.
– two bits that provide the device select bits.
– one bit that becomes the MSB of the address.

is undefined on a power up condition.
Data Protection
The following circuitry has been included to prevent
inadvertent writes:
Operational Notes
The device powers-up in the following state:
– The proper clock count and bit sequence is required
prior to the stop bit in order to start a nonvolatile write
cycle.
– The device is in the low power standby state.
– A three step sequence is required before writing into
the Control Register to change Watchdog Timer or
Block Lock settings.
– The WEL bit is set to ‘0’. In this state it is not possible
to write to the device.
– SDA pin is the input mode.
– The WEL bit must be set to allow write operations.
– The WP pin, when held HIGH, prevents all writes to
the array and all the Register.
– RESET/RESET Signal is active for tPURST.
