PIN DESCRIPTION
CLK cycles are not required during the self-timed
WRITE (i.e., auto ERASE/WRITE) cycle.
2.1
Chip Select (CS)
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 (Table 2-1
and Table 2-2). CLK and DI then become don't care
inputs waiting for a new START condition to be
detected.
A high level selects the device; a low 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 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.
2.3
CS must be low for 250 ns minimum (TCSL) between
consecutive instructions. If CS is low, the internal control logic is held in a RESET status.
2.2
Data In (DI)
Data In (DI) is used to clock in a START bit, opcode,
address, and data synchronously with the CLK input.
Serial Clock (CLK)
2.4
The Serial Clock is used to synchronize the communication between a master device and the 93LC46AX/
BX. 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.
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).
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.
This pin also provides READY/BUSY status information during ERASE and WRITE cycles. READY/BUSY
status information 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.
CLK is a “Don't Care” if CS is low (device deselected).
If CS is high, but the START condition has not been
detected, any number of clock cycles can be received
by the device without changing its status (i.e., waiting
for a START condition).
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.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Instructions, 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. The DO will enter
the HIGH-Z state on the falling edge of the CS.
3.1
3.2
It is possible to connect the Data In (DI) and Data Out
(DO) pins together. However, with this configuration, if
A0 is a logic-high level, it is possible for a “bus conflict”
to occur during the “dummy zero” that precedes the
READ operation. Under such a condition the voltage
level seen at DO is undefined and will depend upon the
relative impedances of DO and the signal source driving A0. The higher the current sourcing capability of A0,
the higher the voltage at the DO pin.
3.3
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 (ERASE, ERAL, EWDS, EWEN, READ, WRITE,
and WRAL). As soon as CS is high, the device is no
longer in the standby mode.
An instruction following a START condition will only be
executed if the required amount of opcodes,
addresses, and data bits for any particular instruction is
clocked in.
Data In (DI) and Data Out (DO)
Data Protection
During power-up, all programming modes of operation
are inhibited until Vcc has reached a level greater than
2.2V. During power-down, the source data protection
circuitry acts to inhibit all programming modes when
Vcc has fallen below 2.2V at nominal conditions.
The ERASE/WRITE Disable (EWDS) and ERASE/
WRITE Enable (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 any ERASE or WRITE instruction
can be executed.
After execution of an instruction (i.e., clock in or out of
the last required address or data bit) CLK and DI
become don't care bits until a new START condition is
detected.

ERASE
3.5
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.
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. 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). 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 erased
and the device is ready for another instruction.

ERASE/WRITE Disable and Enable
(EWDS/EWEN)
3.7
The READ instruction outputs the serial data of the
addressed memory location on the DO pin. A dummy
zero bit precedes the 8-bit (93LC46A) or 16-bit
(93LC46B) 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.
The 93LC46A/B 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.

WRITE
3.9
The WRITE instruction is followed by 8 bits (93LC46A)
or 16 bits (93LC46B) of data which are written into the
specified address. After the last data bit is put on the DI
pin, the falling edge of CS initiates the self-timed autoerase and programming cycle.
The Write All (WRAL) instruction will write the entire
memory array with the data specified in the command.
The WRAL cycle is completely self-timed and commences at the falling edge of the CS. 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) and before the entire write cycle is complete.
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.
