DESCRIPTION
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25AA080/160 are 8K
and 16K bit Serial Electrically Erasable PROMs. The
memory is accessed via a simple Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) compatible serial bus. The bus signals
required are a clock input (SCK) plus separate data in
(SI) and data out (SO) lines. Access to the device is
controlled through a chip select (CS) input, allowing any
number of devices to share the same bus.
There are two other inputs that provide the end user
with additional flexibility. Communication to the device
can be paused via the hold pin (HOLD). While the
device is paused, transitions on its inputs will be
ignored, with the exception of chip select, allowing the
host to service higher priority interrupts. Also write
operations to the Status Register can be disabled via
the write protect pin (WP).

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
2.2
Read Status Register (RDSR)
The 25AA080/160 is an 1024/2048 byte EEPROM
designed to interface directly with the Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) port of many of today’s popular microcontroller families, including Microchip’s midrange
PIC16CXX 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 software.
The 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 25AA080/160 contains an 8-bit instruction register.
The part is accessed via the SI pin, with data being
clocked in on the rising edge of SCK. If the WPEN bit in
the status register is set, the WP pin must be held high
to allow writing to the non-volatile bits in the status register.
The Write-In-Process (WIP) bit indicates whether the
25AA080/160 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.
Table 2-1 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 25AA080/160 in ‘HOLD’ mode.
After releasing the HOLD pin, operation will resume
from the point when the HOLD was asserted.
2.1
Write Enable (WREN) and Write
Disable (WRDI)
The 25AA080/160 contains a write enable latch. This
latch must be set before any write operation will be
completed internally. The WREN instruction will set the
latch, and the WRDI will reset the latch. The following is
a list of conditions under which the write enable latch
will be reset:

•
•
•

WEL

WIP
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 and status register, when set
to a ‘0’ the latch prohibits writes to the array and status
register. 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 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 non-volatile.
The Write Protect Enable (WPEN) bit is a non-volatile
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 non-volatile bits in the status register are disabled.
See Table 2-2 for matrix of functionality on the WPEN
bit and Figure 2-1 for a flowchart of Table 2-2.
See Figure 3-5 for RDSR timing sequence.

Write Status Register (WRSR)
The WRSR instruction allows the user to select one of
four protection options 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 illustrated in table below.
See Figure 3-6 for WRSR timing sequence.

DEVICE OPERATION
3.1
Clock and Data Timing
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 (25AA080)
or six (25AA080) 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 25AA080/160 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. See Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4 for more
detailed illustrations on the byte write sequence and the
page write sequence, respectively.
Data input on the SI pin is latched on the rising edge of
SCK. Data is output on the SO pin after the falling edge
of SCK.
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. A read attempt of a memory array
location will not be possible during a write cycle. When
a write cycle is completed, the write enable latch is
reset.
3.2
3.4
Read Sequence
The part is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit read
instruction is transmitted to the 25AA080/160 followed
by the 16-bit address, with the five (25AA160) or six
(25AA080) 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 ($3FF for
25AA080, $7FF for 25AA160) the address counter rolls
over to address $000 allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely. The read operation is terminated by
setting CS high (see Figure 3-1).
3.3
Write Sequence
Prior to any attempt to write data to the 25AA080/160,
the write enable latch must be set by issuing the WREN
instruction (see Figure 3-2). This is done by setting CS
low and then clocking the proper instruction into the
25AA080/160. After all eight bits of the instruction are
 1996 Microchip Technology Inc.
Data Protection
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 successful 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.
3.5
Power On State
The 25AA080/160 powers on in the following state:
•
•
•
•
The device is in low power standby mode (CS=1).
The write enable latch is reset.
SO is in high impedance state.
A low level on CS is required to enter active state.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
4.5
4.1
Chip Select (CS)
This pin is used in conjunction with the WPEN bit in the
status register to prohibit writes to the non-volatile bits
in the status register. When WP is low and WPEN is
high, writing to the non-volatile bits in the status register
is disabled. All other operations function normally.
When WP is high, all functions, including writes to the
non-volatile 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.
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 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. As soon as 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 power-up, a low
level on CS is required prior to any sequence being initiated.
4.2
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.
It is possible for the SI pin and the SO pin to be tied
together. With SI and SO tied together, two way communication of data can occur using only one microcontroller I/O line.
4.3
Serial Output (SO)
The SO pin is used to transfer data out of the 25AA080/
160. During a read cycle, data is shifted out on this pin
after the falling edge of the serial clock.
It is possible for the SI pin and the SO pin to be tied
together. With SI and SO tied together, two way communication of data can occur using only one microcontroller I/O line.
4.4
Serial Clock (SCK)
Write Protect (WP)
The WP pin function is blocked when the WPEN bit in
the status register is low. This allows the user to install
the 25AA080/160 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.
4.6
Hold (HOLD)
The HOLD pin is used to suspend transmission to the
25AA080/160 while in the middle of a serial sequence
without having to re-transmit the entire sequence over
at a later time. It should 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 to
low transition. The 25AA080/160 must remain selected
during this sequence. The SI, SCK, and SO pins are in
a high impedance state during the time the part 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.
The SCK is used to synchronize the communication
between a master and the 25AA080/160. 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.
