General Description
The AK93C85A is a 16384-bit serial CMOS EEPROM divided into 1024 registers of 16 bits each.
The AK93C85A has 4 instructions such as READ, WRITE, EWEN and EWDS. Those instructions
control the AK93C85A.
The AK93C85A can operate full function under wide operating voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V.
The charge up circuit is integrated for high voltage generation that is used for write operation.
A serial interface of AK93C85A, consisting of chip select (CS), serial clock (SK), data-in (DI) and
data-out (DO), can easily be controlled by popular microcontrollers or standard microprocessors.
AK93C85A takes in the write data from data input pin (DI) to a register synchronously with rising
edge of input pulse of serial clock pin (SK). And at read operation, AK93C85A takes out the read
data from a register to data output pin (DO) synchronously with rising edge of SK.
The DO pin is usually in high impedance state. The DO pin outputs "L" or "H" in case of data
output or Busy/Ready signal output.
 Software controlled write protection
When VCC is applied to the part, the part automatically powers up in the ERASE/WRITE Disable
state. In the ERASE/WRITE disable state, execution of WRITE instruction is disabled. Before
WRITE instruction is executed, EWEN instruction must be executed. The ERASE/WRITE enable
state continues until EWDS instruction is executed or VCC is removed from the part.
Execution of a read instruction is independent of both EWEN and EWDS instructions.
 Busy/Ready status signal
After a write instruction, the DO output serves as a Busy/Ready status indicator. After the falling
edge of the CS initiates the self-timed programming cycle, the DO indicates the Busy/Ready status
of the chip if the CS is brought high after a minimum of 250ns (tCS). DO=logical "0" indicates that
programming is still in progress. DO=logical "1" indicates that the register at the address specified
in the instruction has been written with the new data pattern contained in the instruction and the part
is ready for a next instruction.
The Busy/Ready status indicator is only valid when CS is active (high). When CS is low, the DO
output goes into a high impedance state.
The Busy/Ready signal outputs until a start bit (Logic"1") of the next instruction is given to the part.

Functional Description
The AK93C85A has 4 instructions such as READ, WRITE, EWEN and EWDS. A valid instruction
consists of a Start Bit (Logic"01"), the appropriate Op Code and the desired memory Address
location.
The CS pin must be brought low for a minimum of 250ns (tCS) between each instruction when the
instruction is continuously executed.

(Note)  The WRAL instruction are used for factory function test only.
User can't use the WRAL instruction.
 The AK93C85A perceives the start bit in the logic"01" and also "001".
WRITE
The write instruction is followed by 16 bits of data to be written into the specified address. After the
last bit of data is put on the DI pin, the CS pin must be brought low before the next rising edge of the
SK clock. This falling edge of the CS initiates the self-timed programming cycle. The DO
indicates the Busy/Ready status of the chip if the CS is brought high after a minimum of 250ns (tCS).
DO=logical "0" indicates that programming is still in progress. DO=logical "1" indicates that the
register at the address specified in the instruction has been written with the new data pattern
contained in the instruction and the part is ready for a next instruction.

READ
The read instruction is the only instruction which outputs serial data on the DO pin.
Following the Start bit, first Op code and address are decoded, then the data from the selected
memory location is available at the DO pin. A dummy bit (logical "0") precedes the 16-bit data from
the selected memory location. The output data changes are synchronized with the rising edges of
the serial clock (SK).
The data in the next address can be read sequentially by continuing to provide clock. The address
automatically cycles to the next higher address after the 16bit data shifted out.
When the highest address is reached ($3FF), the address counter rolls over to address $000
allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely.
