2.1
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.
2.2
2.4
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.
2.5
Serial Clock (SCK)
The SCK is used to synchronize the communication
between a master and the 25XX160. 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.
2.6
Hold (HOLD)
The HOLD pin is used to suspend transmission to the
25XX160 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 25XX160 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.
Serial Output (SO)
The SO pin is used to transfer data out of the 25XX160.
During a read cycle, data is shifted out on this pin after
the falling edge of the serial clock.
2.3
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.
The WP pin function is blocked when the WPEN bit in
the Status register is low. This allows the user to install
the 25XX160 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.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1
Principles of Operation
3.3
The 25XX160 are 2048 byte Serial EEPROMs
designed to interface directly with the Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) port of many of today’s popular microcontroller families, including Microchip’s PIC16C6X/7X
microcontrollers. It may also interface with microcontrollers that do not have a built-in SPI port by using discrete I/O lines programmed properly with the software.
The 25XX160 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. The WP pin must be held high to allow
writing to the memory array.
Table 3-1 contains a list of the possible instruction
bytes and format for device operation. All instructions,
addresses, and data are transferred MSB first, LSB
last.
Data 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 25XX160 in ‘HOLD’ mode.
After releasing the HOLD pin, operation will resume
from the point when the HOLD was asserted.
3.2
Read Sequence
The device is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit
READ instruction is transmitted to the 25XX160
followed by the 16-bit address, with the five 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 (07FFh), 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 3-1).
TABLE 3-1:
Write Sequence
Prior to any attempt to write data to the 25XX160, the
write enable latch must be set by issuing the WREN
instruction (Figure 3-4). This is done by setting CS low
and then clocking out the proper instruction into the
25XX160. 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 five MSBs
of the address being "don’t care" bits, and then the data
to be written. Up to 16 bytes of data can be sent to the
25XX160 before a write cycle is necessary. The only
restriction is that all of the bytes must reside in the
same page. A page address begins with xxxx xxxx
xxxx 0000 and ends with xxxx xxxx xxxx 1111.
If the internal address counter reaches xxxx xxxx
xxxx 1111 and the clock continues, the counter will
roll back to the first address of the page and overwrite
any data in the page that may have been written.
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 3-2 and Figure 3-3
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 3-6). 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 (RDSR)
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status
of the write enable latch. 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. This bit is read-only.
The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction 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:

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.
The Write-In-Process (WIP) bit indicates whether the
25XX160 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 (WRSR)
TABLE 3-2:
The Write Status register (WRSR) instruction allows the
user 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 3-2.

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 3-3 for a matrix of functionality on the WPEN
bit.

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

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
