DESCRIPTION
during brown out and power up/down conditions. During
system failure the watchdog timer feature protects the
microcontroller with a reset signal. Catalyst's advanced
CMOS technology substantially reduces device power
requirements. The 93CXXXX is available in 8-pin DIP, 8pin TSSOP or 8-pin SOIC packages. It is designed to
endure 1,000,000 program/erase cycles and has a data
retention of 100 years.
The CAT93CXXXX is a single chip solution to three
popular functions of EEPROM memory, precision reset
controller and watchdog timer. The serial EEPROM
memory of the 93CXXXX can be configured either by 16bits or by 8-bits. Each register can be written (or read)
by using the DI (or DO pin).
The reset function of the 93CXXXX protects the system

DEVICE OPERATION
Reset Controller Description
the existing reset threshold voltage to one of the other
four reset threshold voltages. Once the reset threshold
voltage is selected it will not change even after cycling
the power, unless the user uses the programmer to
change the reset threshold voltage. However, the
programming function is available only through external
program manufacturers. Please call Catalyst for a list of
programmer manufacturers which support this function.
The CAT93CXXXX provides a precision RESET controller that ensures correct system operation during
brown-out and power-up/down conditions. It is configured with open drain RESET outputs. During powerup, the RESET outputs remain active until VCC
reaches the VTH threshold and will continue driving the
outputs for approximately 200ms (tPURST) after reaching VTH. After the tPURST timeout interval, the device
will cease to drive reset outputs. At this point the reset
outputs will be pulled up or down by their respective pull
up/pull down devices. During power-down, the RESET
outputs will begin driving active when VCC falls below
VTH. The RESET outputs will be valid so long as VCC is
>1.0V (VRVALID).
Memory Functional Description
The CAT93CXXXX is a 1024/2048/4096/16,384-bit nonvolatile memory intended for use with industry standard
microprocessors. The CAT93CXXXX can be organized
as either registers of 16 bits or 8 bits. When organized as
X16, seven 9-bit instructions for 93C46XX; seven 10-bit
instructions for 93C57XX; seven 11-bit instructions for
93C56XX and 93C66XX; seven 13-bit instructions for
93C86XX; control the reading, writing and erase operations of the device. When organized as X8, seven 10-bit
instructions for 93C46XX; seven 11-bit instructions for
93C57; seven 12-bit instructions for 93C56 and 93C66:
seven 14-bit instructions for 93C86; control the reading,
writing and erase operations of the device. The
CAT93CXXXX operates on a single power supply and
will generate on chip, the high voltage required during
any write operation.
The RESET pins are I/Os; therefore, the CAT93CXXXX
can act as a signal conditioning circuit for an externally
applied reset. The inputs are level triggered; that is, the
RESET input in the 93CXXXX will initiate a reset timeout
after detecting a high and the RESET input in the
93CXXXX will initiate a reset timeout after detecting a
low.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer provides an independent protection for microcontrollers. During a system failure, the
CAT93CXXXX will respond with a reset signal after a
time-out interval of 1.6 seconds for lack of activity.
Instructions, addresses, and write data are clocked into
the DI pin on the rising edge of the clock (SK). The DO
pin is normally in a high impedance state except when
reading data from the device, or when checking the
ready/busy status after a write operation.
As long as the reset signal is asserted, the Watchdog
Timer will not count and will stay cleared.
Hardware Data Protection
The ready/busy status can be determined after the start
of a write operation by selecting the device (CS high) and
polling the DO pin; DO low indicates that the write
operation is not completed, while DO high indicates that
the device is ready for the next instruction. If necessary,
the DO pin may be placed back into a high impedance
state during chip select by shifting a dummy “1” into the
DI pin. The DO pin will enter the high impedance state on
the falling edge of the clock (SK). Placing the DO pin into
the high impedance state is recommended in applications where the DI pin and the DO pin are to be tied
together to form a common DI/O pin.
The 93CXXXX is designed with a VCC lock out data
protection feature to provide a high degree of data
integrity.
The VCC sense provides write protection when VCC falls
below the reset threshold value. The VCC lock out
inhibits writes to the serial EEPROM whenever VCC
falls below (power down) or until VCC reaches the reset
threshold (power up).
Reset Threshold Voltage
From the factory the 93CXXXX is offered in five different variations of reset threshold voltages. They are
4.50-4.75V, 4.25-4.50V, 3.00-3.15V, 2.85-3.00V and
2.55-2.70V. To provide added flexibility to design
engineers using this product, the 93CXXXX is designed with an additional feature of programming the
reset threshold voltage. This allows the user to change
Stock No. 21084-01 2/98
The format for all instructions sent to the device is a
logical "1" start bit, a 2-bit (or 4-bit) opcode, 6-bit
(93C46XX)//7-bit (93C57XX)/ 8-bit (93C56XX or
93C66XX)/10-bit (93C86XX) (an additional bit when
organized X8) and for write operations a 16-bit data field
(8-bit for X8 organizations).

CAT93CXXXX
Read
Write
Upon receiving a READ command and an address
(clocked into the DI pin), the DO pin of the CAT93CXXXX
will come out of the high impedance state and, after
sending an initial dummy zero bit, will begin shifting out
the data addressed (MSB first). The output data bits will
toggle on the rising edge of the SK clock and are stable
after the specified time delay (tPD0 or tPD1)
After receiving a WRITE command, address and the
data, the CS (Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a
minimum of tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the
self clocking clear and data store cycle of the memory
location specified in the instruction. The clocking of the
SK pin is not necessary after the device has entered the
self clocking mode. The ready/busy status of the
CAT93CXXXX can be determined by selecting the device and polling the DO pin. Since this device features
Auto-Clear before write, it is NOT necessary to erase a
memory location before it is written into.
For the 93CXXXX, after the initial data word has been
shifted out and CS remains asserted with the SK clock
continuing to toggle, the device will automatically increment to the next address and shift out the next data word
in a sequential READ mode. As long as CS is continuously asserted and SK continues to toggle, the device
will keep incrementing to the next address automatically
until it reaches to the end of the address space, then
loops back to address 0. In the sequential READ mode,
only the initial data word is preceeded by a dummy zero
bit. All subsequent data words will follow without a
dummy zero bit.
Page Write
The 93CXXXX writes up to 16 bytes (8 words for x16
format) of data in a single write cycle, using the page
write operation. The page write operation is initiated in
the same manner as the byte (word for x16 format) write
operation. However, instead of terminating after the
initial byte (word for x16 format) is transmitted, the host

can then continue to clock in 8-bit (16-bit for x16 format)
data to be written to the next higher address. Internally,
the address pointer is incremented after each group of
eight clocks (16 clocks for x16 format). If the host
transmits more than 16 bytes (8 words for x16 format)
the address counter ‘wraps around’ and previously
transmitted data will be overwritten.
Upon receiving an ERASE command and address, the
CS (Chip Select) pin must be deasserted for a minimum
of tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the self clocking
clear cycle of the selected memory location. The clocking of the SK pin is not necessary after the device has
entered the self clocking mode. The ready/busy status of
the CAT93CXXXX can be determined by selecting the
device and polling the DO pin. Once cleared, the content
of a cleared location returns to a logical “1” state.
After receiving a WRITE command, address and the
data, the CS (Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a
minimum of tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the
self clocking clear and data store cycle of the memory
location specified in the instruction. The clocking of the

Erase/Write Enable and Disable
The CAT93CXXXX powers up in the write disable state.
Any writing after power-up or after an EWDS (write
disable) instruction must first be preceded by the EWEN
(write enable) instruction. Once the write instruction is
enabled, it will remain enabled until power to the device
is removed, or the EWDS instruction is sent. The EWDS
instruction can be used to disable all CAT93CXXXX
write and clear instructions, and will prevent any accidental writing or clearing of the device. Data can be read
normally from the device regardless of the write enable/
disable status.
Erase All
Upon receiving an ERAL command, the CS (Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a minimum of tCSMIN.
The falling edge of CS will start the self clocking clear
cycle of all memory locations in the device. The clocking
of the SK pin is not necessary after the device has
entered the self clocking mode. The ready/busy status
of the CAT93CXXXX can be determined by selecting
the device and polling the DO pin. Once cleared, the
contents of all memory bits return to a logical “1” state.
Write All
Upon receiving a WRAL command and data, the CS
(Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a minimum of
tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the self clocking
data write to all memory locations in the device. The
clocking of the SK pin is not necessary after the device
has entered the self clocking mode. The ready/busystatus
of the CAT93CXXXXcan be determined by selecting the
device and polling the DO pin. It is not necessary for all
memory locations to be cleared before the WRAL command is executed.
