DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C33/65 is a 32K/64K-Bit SPI Serial CMOS
EEPROM internally organized as 4Kx8/8Kx8 bits.
Catalyst’s advanced CMOS Technology substantially
reduces device power requirements. The CAT25C33/
65 features a 64-byte page write buffer. The device
operates via the SPI bus serial interface and is enabled
though a Chip Select (CS). In addition to the Chip Select,
the clock input (SCK), data in (SI) and data out (SO) are

CAT25C33/65
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PIN DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C33/65 supports the SPI bus data
transmission protocol. The synchronous Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) helps the CAT25C33/65 to interface
directly with many of today’s popular microcontrollers.
The CAT25C33/65 contains an 8-bit instruction register.
(The instruction set and the operation codes are detailed
in the instruction set table)
SI: Serial Input
SI is the serial data input pin. This pin is used to input all
opcodes, byte addresses, and data to be written to the
25C33/65. Input data is latched on the rising edge of the
serial clock.
SO: Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the 25C33/65. During a read cycle,
data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock.
After the device is selected with CS going low, the first
byte will be received. The part is accessed via the SI pin,
with data being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK.
The first byte contains one of the six op-codes that define
the operation to be performed.

CAT25C33/65
SCK: Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchronize the communication between the microcontroller
and the 25C33/65. Opcodes, byte addresses, or data
present on the SI pin are latched on the rising edge of the
SCK. Data on the SO pin is updated on the falling edge
of the SCK.
CS
CS: Chip Select
CS is the Chip select pin. CS low enables the CAT25C33/
65 and CS high disables the CAT25C33/65. CS high
takes the SO output pin to high impedance and forces
the devices into a Standby Mode (unless an internal
write operation is underway). The CAT25C33/65 draws
ZERO current in the Standby mode. A high to low
transition on CS is required prior to any sequence being
initiated. A low to high transition on CS after a valid write
sequence is what initiates an internal write cycle.
WP
WP: Write Protect
WP is the Write Protect pin. The Write Protect pin will allow
normal read/write operations when held high. When WP is
tied low and the WPEN bit in the status register is set to “1”,
all write operations to the status register are inhibited. WP
going low while CS is still low will interrupt a write to the status
register. If the internal write cycle has already been initiated,
WP going low will have no effect on any write operation to the
status register. The WP pin function is blocked when the
WPEN bit is set to 0.
HOLD
HOLD: Hold
The HOLD pin is used to pause transmission to the
CAT25C33/65 while in the middle of a serial sequence
without having to re-transmit entire sequence at a later time.
To pause, HOLD must be brought low while SCK is low. The
SO pin is in a high impedance state during
the time the part is paused, and transitions on the SI pins
will be ignored. To resume communication, HOLD is brought
high, while SCK is low. (HOLD should be held high any time
this function is not being used.) HOLD may be tied high

The Status Register indicates the status of the device.
The WPEN (Write Protect Enable) is an enable bit for the WP
pin. The WP pin and WPEN bit in the status register control
the programmable hardware write protect feature.Hardware
write protection is enabled when WP is low and WPEN bit
is set to high. The user cannot write to the status register
(including the block protect bits and the WPEN bit) and the
block protected sections in thememory array when the chip
is hardware write protected. Only the sections of the
memory array that are not block protected can be written.
Hardware write protection is disabled when either WP pin is
high or the WPEN bit is zero.
The RDY (Ready) bit indicates whether the CAT25C33/
65 is busy with a write operation. When set to 1 a write
cycle is in progress and when set to 0 the device
indicates it is ready. This bit is read only.
The WEL (Write Enable) bit indicates the status of the
write enable latch . When set to 1, the device is in a
Write Enable state and when set to 0 the device is in
a Write Disable state. The WEL bit can only be set by
the WREN instruction and can be reset by the WRDI
instruction.

CAT25C33/65
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.
Also, for a successful write operation the address of
the memory location(s) to be programmed must be
outside the protected address field location selected
by the block protection level.
The Status Register can be read to determine if the write cycle
is still in progress. If Bit 0 of the Status Register is set at 1, write
cycle is in progress. If Bit 0 is set at 0, the device is ready for
the next instruction.
Page Write
The CAT25C33/65 features page write capability. After the first
initial byte the host may continue to write up to 64 bytes of data
to the CAT25C33/65. After each byte of data is received, six
lower order address bits are internally incremented by one; the
high order bits of address will remain constant. The only
restriction is that the 64 bytes must reside on the same page.
If the address counter reaches the end of the page and clock
continues, the counter will “roll over” to the first address of the
page and overwrite any data that may have been written. The
CAT25C33/65 is automatically returned to the write disable
state at the completion of the write cycle. Figure 8 illustrates the
page write sequence.
Byte Write
Once the device is in a Write Enable state, the user
may proceed with a write sequence by setting the CS
low, issuing a write instruction via the SI line, followed
by the 16-bit address (the three Most Significant Bits
are don’t care for 25C65 and four most significant bits
are don't care for 25C33), and then the data to be
written. Programming will start after the CS is
brought high. Figure 6 illustrates byte write sequence.
To write to the status register, the WRSR instruction should be
During an internal write cycle, all commands will be sent. Only Bit 2, Bit 3 and Bit 7 of the status register can be
ignored except the RDSR (Read Status Register) written using the WRSR instruction. Figure 7 illustrates the
sequence of writing to status register.

CAT25C33/65
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The CAT25C33/65 powers up in a write disable state
and in a low power standby mode. A WREN instruction
must be issued to perform any writes to the device after
power up. Also,on power up CS should be brought low
to enter a ready state and receive an instruction. After
a successful byte/page write or status register write the
CAT25C33/65 goes into a write disable mode. 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 program-ming
is continued. On power up, SO is in a high impedance.
When powering down, the supply should be taken down
to 0V, so that the CAT25C33/65 will be reset when power
is ramped back up. If this is not possible, then, following
a brown-out episode, the CAT25C33/65 can be reset by
refreshing the contents of the Status Register (See Application Note AN10).
