The Microchip Technology Inc. 25AA640A/25LC640A
(25XX640A*) are 64 kbit Serial Electrically Erasable
PROMs. 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.
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 the exception of
Chip Select, allowing the host to service higher priority
interrupts.
The 25XX640A is available in standard packages
including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced
packaging including 8-lead MSOP, 8-lead TSSOP, DFN
and TDFN.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1
Principles of Operation
The 25XX640A is a 8192-byte serial EEPROM
designed to interface directly with the Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) port of many of today’s popular
microcontroller families, including Microchip’s PIC®
microcontrollers. It may also interface with microcontrollers that do not have a built-in SPI port by using
discrete I/O lines programmed properly in firmware to
match the SPI protocol.
The 25XX640A contains an 8-bit instruction register.
The device is accessed via the SI pin, with data being
clocked in on the rising edge of SCK. The CS pin must
be low and the HOLD pin must be high for the entire
operation.
Table 2-1 contains a list of the possible instruction
bytes and format for device operation. All instructions,
addresses and data are transferred Most Significant
Byte (MSB) first, Least Significant Byte (LSB) last.
Data (SI) 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 25XX640A in ‘HOLD’
mode. After releasing the HOLD pin, operation will
resume from the point when the HOLD was asserted.
2.2
Read Sequence
The device is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit
READ instruction is transmitted to the 25XX640A
followed by the 16-bit address, with the three 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 (1FFFh), the address counter rolls
over to address 0000h, allowing the read cycle to be
continued indefinitely. The read operation is terminated
by raising the CS pin (Figure 2-1).
DS21830F-page 6
2.3
Write Sequence
Prior to any attempt to write data to the 25XX640A, the
write enable latch must be set by issuing the WREN
instruction (Figure 2-4). This is done by setting CS low
and then clocking out the proper instruction into the
25XX640A. 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.
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 three
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 device before a write cycle is necessary.
The only restriction is that all of the bytes must reside
in the same page.
Note:
Page write operations are limited to
writing bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes
actually being written. Physical page
boundaries start at addresses that are
integer multiples of the page buffer size
(or ‘page size’) and, end at addresses that
are integer multiples of page size – 1. If a
Page Write command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to the
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page as might be
expected. It is therefore necessary for the
application software to prevent page write
operations that would attempt to cross a
page boundary.
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 2-2 and Figure 2-3
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 (Figure 2-6). A read attempt of a
memory array location will not be possible during a
write cycle. When the write cycle is completed, the
write enable latch is reset.

Read Status Register Instruction
(RDSR)
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status
of the write enable latch and is read-only. When set to
a ‘1’, the latch allows writes to the array, when set to a
‘0’, the latch prohibits writes to the array. 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. These commands are shown
in Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.
The Read Status Register instruction (RDSR) 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:
TABLE 2-2:
STATUS REGISTER
7
6 5 4
3
2
1
W/R
– – – W/R W/R
R
WPEN X X X BP1 BP0 WEL
W/R = writable/readable. R = 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 nonvolatile, and are shown in Table 2-3.
0
R
WIP
See Figure 2-6 for the RDSR timing sequence.
The STATUS register can be continually read until the
CS is de-asserted.
The Write-In-Process (WIP) bit indicates whether the
25XX640A 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.

Write Status Register Instruction
(WRSR)
See Figure 2-7 for the WRSR timing sequence.
TABLE 2-3:
The Write Status Register instruction (WRSR) allows the
user to write to the nonvolatile bits in the STATUS register as shown in Table 2-2. The user is able to select
one of four levels of protection 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
shown in Table 2-3.
The Write-Protect Enable (WPEN) bit is a nonvolatile
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 nonvolatile bits in the STATUS register
are disabled. See Table 2-4 for a matrix of functionality
on the WPEN bit.

Data Protection
2.8
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 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
TABLE 2-4:
Power-On State
The 25XX640A powers on in the following state:
• The device is in low-power Standby mode
(CS = 1)
• The write enable latch is reset
• SO is in high-impedance state
• A high-to-low-level transition on CS is required to
enter active state

3.1
Function
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
initiated or 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. When 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 initiates an internal write cycle. After powerup, a low level on CS is required prior to any sequence
being initiated.
3.2
Serial Output (SO)
The SO pin is used to transfer data out of the
25XX640A. During a read cycle, data is shifted out on
this pin after the falling edge of the serial clock.
3.3
The WP pin function is blocked when the WPEN bit in
the STATUS register is low. This allows the user to
install the 25XX640A 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.
3.4
Serial Input (SI)
The SI pin is used to transfer data into the device. It
receives instructions, addresses and data. Data is
latched on the rising edge of the serial clock.
3.5
Serial Clock (SCK)
The SCK is used to synchronize the communication
between a master and the 25XX640A. 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.
3.6
Hold (HOLD)
The HOLD pin is used to suspend transmission to the
25XX640A while in the middle of a serial sequence
without having to retransmit the entire sequence again.
It must 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 invoked until the next SCK high-tolow transition. The 25XX640A must remain selected
during this sequence. The SI, SCK and SO pins are in
a high-impedance state during the time the device 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. Lowering the HOLD
line at any time will tri-state the SO line.
Write-Protect (WP)
This pin is used in conjunction with the WPEN bit in the
STATUS register to prohibit writes to the nonvolatile
bits in the STATUS register. When WP is low and
WPEN is high, writing to the nonvolatile bits in the STATUS register is disabled. All other operations function
normally. When WP is high, all functions, including
writes to the nonvolatile bits in the STATUS register
operate normally. If the WPEN bit is set, WP 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.
