There are two other inputs that provide the end user
with additional flexibility. Communication to the device
can be paused via the hold pin (HOLD). While the
device is paused, transitions on its inputs will be
ignored, with exception of chip select, allowing the host
to service higher priority interrupts. Also write operations to the Status Register can be disabled via the
write protect pin (WP).

DESCRIPTION
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25LC320 is a 32K-bit
serial Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM). The
memory is accessed via a simple Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) compatible serial bus. The bus signals
required are a clock input (SCK) plus separate data in
(SI) and data out (SO) lines. Access to the device is
controlled through a chip select (CS) input, allowing any
number of devices to share the same bus.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
2.2
Read Status Register (RDSR)
The 25LC320 is a 4096 byte EEPROM designed to
interface directly with the serial peripheral interface
(SPI) port of many of today’s popular microcontroller
families, including Microchip’s midrange PIC16CXX
microcontrollers. It may also interface with microcontrollers that do not have a built-in SPI port by using discrete I/O lines programmed properly with software.
The RDSR instruction provides access to the status
register. The status register may be read at any time,
even during a write cycle. The status register is formatted as follows:
The 25LC320 contains an 8-bit instruction register. The
part is accessed via the SI pin, with data being clocked
in on the rising edge of SCK. If the WPEN bit in the Status Register is set, the WP pin must be held high to
allow writing to the non-volatile bits in the status register.
The Write-In-Process (WIP) bit indicates whether the
25LC320 is busy with a write operation. When set to a
‘1’ a write is in progress, when set to a ‘0’ no write is in
progress. This bit is read only.
Table 2-1 contains a list of the possible instruction bytes
and format for device operation. All instructions,
addresses and data are transferred MSB first, LSB last.
Data is sampled on the first rising edge of SCK after CS
goes low. If the clock line is shared with other peripheral
devices on the SPI bus, the user can assert the
HOLD input and place the 25LC320 in ‘HOLD’ mode.
After releasing the HOLD pin, operation will resume
from the point when the HOLD was asserted.
2.1
Write Enable (WREN) and Write
Disable (WRDI)
The 25LC320 contains a write enable latch. This latch
must be set before any write operation will be
completed internally. The WREN instruction will set the
latch, and the WRDI will reset the latch. The following is
a list of conditions under which the write enable latch
will be reset:
•
•
•
•
Power-up
WRDI instruction successfully executed
WRSR instruction successfully executed
WRITE instruction successfully executed
TABLE 2-1:
7
WPEN
3
BP1
2
BP0
1
WEL
0
WIP
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status
of the write enable latch. When set to a ‘1’ the latch
allows writes to the array and status register, when set
to a ‘0’ the latch prohibits writes to the array and status
register. The state of this bit can always be updated via
the WREN or WRDI commands regardless of the state
of write protection on the status register. This bit is read
only.
The Block Protection (BP0 and BP1) bits indicate
which blocks are currently write protected. These bits
are set by the user issuing the WRSR instruction.
These bits are non-volatile.
The Write Protect Enable (WPEN) bit is a non-volatile
bit that is available as an enable bit for the WP pin. The
Write Protect (WP) pin and the Write Protect Enable
(WPEN) bit in the status register control the
programmable hardware write protect feature.
Hardware write protection is enabled when WP pin is
low and the WPEN bit is high. Hardware write
protection is disabled when either the WP pin is high or
the WPEN bit is low. When the chip is hardware write
protected, only writes to non-volatile bits in the status
register are disabled. See Table 2-2 for matrix of
functionality on the WPEN bit and Figure 2-1 for a
flowchart of Table 2-2. See Figure 3-5 for RDSR timing
sequence.

Write Status Register (WRSR)
TABLE 2-3:
The WRSR instruction allows the user to select one of
four protection options for the array by writing to the
appropriate bits in the status register. The array is
divided up into four segments. The user has the ability
to write protect none, one, two, or all four of the segments of the array. The partitioning is controlled as illustrated in Table 2-3.
See Figure 3-6 for WRSR timing sequence.

DEVICE OPERATION
3.1
Clock and Data Timing
Data input on the SI pin is latched on the rising edge of
SCK. Data is output on the SO pin after the falling edge
of SCK.
3.2
Read Sequence
The part is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit read
instruction is transmitted to the 25LC320 followed by
the 16-bit address, with the four MSBs of the address
being don’t care bits. After the correct read instruction
and address are sent, the data stored in the memory at
the selected address is shifted out on the SO pin. The
data stored in the memory at the next address can be
read sequentially by continuing to provide clock pulses.
The internal address pointer is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of
data is shifted out. When the highest address is
reached (0FFFh) the address counter rolls over to
address 0000h allowing the read cycle to be continued
indefinitely. The read operation is terminated by setting
CS high (Figure 3-1).
3.3
Write Sequence
Prior to any attempt to write data to the 25LC320, the
write enable latch must be set by issuing the WREN
instruction (Figure 3-2). This is done by setting CS low
and then clocking the proper instruction into the
25LC320. After all eight bits of the instruction are transmitted, the CS must be brought high to set the write
enable latch. If the write operation is initiated
immediately after the WREN instruction without CS
being brought high, the data will not be written to the
array because the write enable latch will not have been
properly set.
For the data to be actually written to the array, the CS
must be brought high after the least significant bit (D0)
of the nth data byte has been clocked in. If CS is brought
high at any other time, the write operation will not be
completed. Refer to Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4 for more
detailed illustrations on the byte write sequence and the
page write sequence respectively.
While the write is in progress, the status register may
be read to check the status of the WPEN, WIP, WEL,
BP1, and BP0 bits. A read attempt of a memory array
location will not be possible during a write cycle. When
a write cycle is completed, the write enable latch is
reset.
3.4
Data Protection
The following protection has been implemented to
prevent inadvertent writes to the array:
• The write enable latch is reset on power-up.
• A write enable instruction must be issued to set
the write enable latch.
• After a successful byte write, page write, or status
register write, the write enable latch is reset.
• CS must be set high after the proper number of
clock cycles to start an internal write cycle.
• Access to the array during an internal write cycle
is ignored and programming is continued.
3.5
Power On State
The 25LC320 powers on in the following state:
•
•
•
•
The device is in low power standby mode.
The write enable latch is reset.
SO is in high impedance state.
A low level on CS is required to enter active state.
Once the write enable latch is set, the user may proceed by setting the CS low, issuing a write instruction,
followed by the 16-bit address, with the four MSBs of
the address being don’t care bits, and then the data to
be written. Up to 32 bytes of data can be sent to the
25LC320 before a write cycle is necessary. The only
restriction is that all of the bytes must reside in the
same page. A page address begins with XXXX XXXX
XXX0 0000 and ends with XXXX XXXX XXX1 1111. If
the internal address counter reaches XXXX XXXX
XXX1 1111 and the clock continues, the counter will roll
back to the first address of the page and overwrite any
data in the page that may have been written.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
4.1
Chip Select (CS)
A low level on this pin selects the device. A high level
deselects the device and forces it into standby mode.
However, a programming cycle which is already in
progress will be completed, regardless of the CS input
signal. If CS is brought high during a program cycle, the
device will go into standby mode as soon as the programming cycle is complete. As soon as the device is
deselected, SO goes to the high impedance state,
allowing multiple parts to share the same SPI bus. A
low to high transition on CS after a valid write sequence
is what initiates an internal write cycle. After power-up,
a low level on CS is required prior to any sequence
being initiated.
4.2
Serial Input (SI)
The SI pin is used to transfer data into the device. It
receives instructions, addresses, and data to be written
to the memory. Input is latched on the rising edge of the
serial clock.
It is possible for the SI pin and the SO pin to be tied
together. With SI and SO tied together, two way
communication of data can occur using only one
microcontroller I/O line.
4.3
The WP pin function is blocked when the WPEN bit in
the status register is low. This allows the user to install
the 25LC320 in a system with WP pin grounded and still
be able to write to the status register. The WP pin
functions will be enabled when the WPEN bit is
set high.
4.6
Hold (HOLD)
The HOLD pin is used to suspend transmission to the
25LC320 while in the middle of a serial sequence without having to re-transmit entire sequence over at a later
time. It should be held high any time this function is not
being used. Once the device is selected and a serial
sequence is underway, the HOLD pin may be pulled low
to pause further serial communication without resetting
the serial sequence. The HOLD pin must be brought
low while SCK is low, otherwise the HOLD function will
not be evoked until the next SCK high to low transition.
The 25LC320 must remain selected during this
sequence. The SI, SCK, and SO pins are in a high
impedance state during the time the part is paused and
transitions on these pins will be ignored. To resume
serial communication, HOLD must be brought high
while the SCK pin is low, otherwise serial communication will not resume.
Serial Output (SO)
The SO pin is used to transfer data out of the 25LC320.
During a read cycle, data is shifted out on this pin after
the falling edge of the serial clock.
It is possible for the SI pin and the SO pin to be tied
together. With SI and SO tied together, two-way
communication of data can occur using only one
microcontroller I/O line.
4.4
Serial Clock (SCK)
The SCK is used to synchronize the communication
between a master and the 25LC320. Instructions,
addresses, or data present on the SI pin are latched on
the rising edge of the clock input, while data on the SO
pin is updated after the falling edge of the clock input.
4.5
Write Protect (WP)
This pin is used in conjunction with the WPEN bit in the
status register to prohibit writes to the non-volatile bits
in the status register. When WP is low and WPEN is
high, writing to the non-volatile bits in the status register
is disabled. All other operations function normally.
When WP is high, all functions, including writes to the
non-volatile bits in the status register operate normally.
WP going low during a status register write sequence
will disable writing to the status register. If an internal
write cycle has already begun, WP going low will have
no effect on the write.
