They are accessed by a high speed SPI-compatible bus. Their memory array is organized as 32768 x 8 bits. The device is accessed by a simple serial interface that is SPI-compatible. The bus signals are C, D and Q, as shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. The device is selected when Chip Select (S) is taken low. Communications with the device can be interrupted using Hold (HOLD).

Data is shifted out on the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). 3.2 Serial Data input (D) This input signal is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions, addresses, and the data to be written. Values are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). 3.3 Serial Clock (C) This input signal provides the timing of the serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data present at Serial Data input (D) are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data on Serial Data output (Q) changes after the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). 3.4 Chip Select (S) When this input signal is high, the device is deselected and Serial Data output (Q) is at high impedance. Unless an internal Write cycle is in progress, the device will be in the Standby Power mode. Driving Chip Select (S) low selects the device, placing it in the Active Power mode. After power-up, a falling edge on Chip Select (S) is required prior to the start of any instruction. 3.5 Hold (HOLD) The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without deselecting the device. During the Hold condition, the Serial Data output (Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data input (D) and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care. To start the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (S) driven low. 9/43 Signal description 3.6 M95256, M95256-W, M95256-R Write Protect (W) The main purpose of this input signal is to freeze the size of the area of memory that is protected against Write instructions (as specified by the values in the BP1 and BP0 bits of the Status Register). This pin must be driven either high or low, and must be stable during all write instructions. 3.7 VSS ground VSS is the reference for the VCC supply voltage. 3.8 Supply voltage (VCC) 3.8.1 Operating supply voltage VCC Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable VCC voltage within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range must be applied (see Table 7, Table 8 and Table 9.). This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction and, for a Write instruction, until the completion of the internal write cycle (tW). In order to secure a stable DC supply voltage, it is recommended to decouple the VCC line with a suitable capacitor (usually of the order of 10 nF to 100 nF) close to the VCC/VSS package pins. 3.8.2 Power-up conditions When the power supply is turned on, VCC continuously rises from VSS to VCC. During this time, the Chip Select (S) line is not allowed to float but should follow the VCC voltage, it is therefore recommended to connect the S line to VCC via a suitable pull-up resistor (see Figure 12). In addition, the Chip Select (S) input offers a built-in safety feature, as the S input is edgesensitive as well as level-sensitive: after power-up, the device does not become selected until a falling edge has first been detected on Chip Select (S). This ensures that Chip Select (S) must have been high, prior to going low to start the first operation. The VCC rise time must not vary faster than 1 V/µs. When VCC passes over the POR threshold, the device is reset and enters the Standby Power mode. However, the device must not be accessed until VCC reaches a valid and stable VCC voltage within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range. 3.8.3 Device Reset In order to prevent inadvertent write operations during power-up (continuous rise in VCC), a power on reset (POR) circuit is included. At power-up, the device does not respond to any instruction until VCC has reached the power on reset threshold voltage (this threshold is lower than the minimum VCC operating voltage defined in Table 7, Table 8 and Table 9). When VCC passes over the POR threshold, the device is reset and enters the following state: ● 10/43 Standby Power mode M95256, M95256-W, M95256-R Operating features ● deselected (at next power-up, a falling edge is required on Chip Select (S) before any instruction can be started). ● not in the Hold condition ● Status register: – the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset to 0 – the Write In Progress (WIP) is reset to 0 – the SRWD, BP1 and BP0 bits of the Status Register are non-volatile bits and therefore remain unchanged) Note: When VCC passes the power on reset threshold voltage and until it reaches the minimum VCC operating voltage, the memory must not be selected/accessed. 3.8.4 Power-down During power-down (continuous decrease in VCC below the minimum VCC operating voltage), the device must be: ● deselected (Chip Select (S) should be allowed to follow the voltage applied on VCC) ● in Standby Power mode (there should not be any internal Write cycle in progress). 4 Operating features 4.1 Hold condition The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without resetting the clocking sequence. During the Hold condition, the Serial Data output (Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data input (D) and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care. To enter the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (S) low. Normally, the device is kept selected, for the whole duration of the Hold condition. Deselecting the device while it is in the Hold condition, has the effect of resetting the state of the device, and this mechanism can be used if it is required to reset any processes that had been in progress. The Hold condition starts when the Hold (HOLD) signal is driven low at the same time as Serial Clock (C) already being low (as shown in Figure 4). The Hold condition ends when the Hold (HOLD) signal is driven high at the same time as Serial Clock (C) already being low. Figure 4 also shows what happens if the rising and falling edges are not timed to coincide with Serial Clock (C) being low. 11/43 Operating features Figure 4.

The Status Register contains a number of status and control bits that can be read or set (as appropriate) by specific instructions. For a detailed description of the Status Register bits, see Section 5.3: Read Status Register (RDSR). 4.3 Data protection and protocol control Non-volatile memory devices can be used in environments that are particularly noisy, and within applications that could experience problems if memory bytes are corrupted. Consequently, the device features the following data protection mechanisms: ● Write and Write Status Register instructions are checked that they consist of a number of clock pulses that is a multiple of eight, before they are accepted for execution. ● All instructions that modify data must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state by the following events: – Power-up – Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion – Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion – Write (WRITE) instruction completion ● The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits in the Status Register allow part of the memory to be configured as read-only. ● The Write Protect (W) signal allows the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register to be protected. For any instruction to be accepted, and executed, Chip Select (S) must be driven high after the rising edge of Serial Clock (C) for the last bit of the instruction, and before the next rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Two points need to be noted in the previous sentence: ● The ‘last bit of the instruction’ can be the eighth bit of the instruction code, or the eighth bit of a data byte, depending on the instruction (except for Read Status Register (RDSR) and Read (READ) instructions). ● The ‘next rising edge of Serial Clock (C)’ might (or might not) be the next bus transaction for some other device on the SPI bus.

If an invalid instruction is sent (one not contained in Table 3), the device automatically deselects itself. Table 3.

The only way to do this is to send a Write Enable instruction to the device. As shown in Figure 5, to send this instruction to the device, Chip Select (S) is driven low, and the bits of the instruction byte are shifted in, on Serial Data input (D). The device then enters a wait state. It waits for a the device to be deselected, by Chip Select (S) being driven high. Figure 5.

As shown in Figure 6, to send this instruction to the device, Chip Select (S) is driven low, and the bits of the instruction byte are shifted in, on Serial Data input (D). The device then enters a wait state. It waits for a the device to be deselected, by Chip Select (S) being driven high. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit, in fact, becomes reset by any of the following events: ● Power-up ● WRDI instruction execution ● WRSR instruction completion ● WRITE instruction completion.

The Status Register may be read at any time, even while a Write or Write Status Register cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles is in progress, it is recommended to check the Write In Progress (WIP) bit before sending a new instruction to the device. It is also possible to read the Status Register continuously, as shown in Figure 7. The status and control bits of the Status Register are as follows: 5.3.1 WIP bit The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy with a Write or Write Status Register cycle. When set to 1, such a cycle is in progress, when reset to 0 no such cycle is in progress. 5.3.2 WEL bit The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch. When set to 1 the internal Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch is reset and no Write or Write Status Register instruction is accepted. 5.3.3 BP1, BP0 bits The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be software protected against Write instructions. These bits are written with the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction. When one or both of the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits is set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 4) becomes protected against Write (WRITE) instructions. The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode has not been set. 5.3.4 SRWD bit The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected mode (when the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is set to 1, and Write Protect (W) is driven low). In this mode, the non-volatile bits of the Status Register (SRWD, BP1, BP0) become read-only bits and the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted for execution. Table 4.

Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must have been previously executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded and executed, the Status Register is updated with the Write Enable Latch bit (WEL) set to 1. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) low, followed by the instruction code and the data byte on Serial Data input (D). The instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) high at a byte boundary of the input data. This event triggers the self-timed write cycle, and continues for a period tW (as specified in Table 16, Table 17, Table 18 and Table 19), at the end of which the Write in Progress (WIP) bit is reset to 0. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has no effect on b6, b5, b4, b1 and b0 of the Status Register. b6, b5 and b4 are always read as 0. Chip Select (S) must be driven high after the rising edge of Serial Clock (C) that latches in the eighth bit of the data byte, and before the next rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Otherwise, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. While the Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Write Status Register cycle tW, and is 0 when it is completed. When the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as readonly, as defined in Table 4. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W) signal can be used to put the device in the Hardware-protected mode (HPM, see Table 5). In this mode, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. The contents of the SRWD and BP1, BP0 bits are updated after the completion of the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction, including the tW Write cycle. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 8. 18/43 M95256, M95256-W, M95256-R Table 5. Protection modes W signal SRWD bit 1 0 0 0 1 0 Instructions 1 1 Mode Write protection of the Status Register Memory content Protected area(1) Unprotected area(1) Write-protected Ready to accept Write instructions Status Register is Hardware write Hardware protected Protected Write-protected (HPM) The values in the BP1 and BP0 bits cannot be changed Ready to accept Write instructions Status Register is Writable (if the WREN Software instruction has set the Protected WEL bit) (SPM) The values in the BP1 and BP0 bits can be changed 1. As defined by the values in the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in Table 5. The protection features of the device are summarized in Table 2. When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is 0 (its initial delivery state), it is possible to write to the Status Register provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction, regardless of the whether Write Protect (W) is driven high or low. When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is set to 1, two cases need to be considered, depending on the state of Write Protect (W): ● If Write Protect (W) is driven high, it is possible to write to the Status Register provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. ● If Write Protect (W) is driven low, it is not possible to write to the Status Register even if the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. (Attempts to write to the Status Register are rejected, and are not accepted for execution). As a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that are software protected (SPM) by the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, are also hardware protected against data modification. Regardless of the order of the two events, the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can be entered: ● by setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit after driving Write Protect (W) low ● or by driving Write Protect (W) low after setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit. The only way to exit the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) once entered is to pull Write Protect (W) high. If Write Protect (W) is permanently tied high, the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can never be activated, and only the Software Protected Mode (SPM), using the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, can be used. 19/43 Instructions Figure 8.

The bits of the instruction byte and address bytes are then shifted in, on Serial Data input (D). The address is loaded into an internal address register, and the byte of data at that address is shifted out, on Serial Data output (Q). If Chip Select (S) continues to be driven low, the internal address register is automatically incremented, and the byte of data at the new address is shifted out. When the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to zero, allowing the Read cycle to be continued indefinitely. The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single READ instruction. The Read cycle is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) high. The rising edge of the Chip Select (S) signal can occur at any time during the cycle. The first byte addressed can be any byte within any page. The instruction is not accepted, and is not executed, if a Write cycle is currently in progress. Figure 9.

The bits of the instruction byte, address bytes, and at least one data byte are then shifted in, on Serial Data input (D). The instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) high at a byte boundary of the input data. The self-timed Write cycle, triggered by the rising edge of Chip Select (S), continues for a period tWC (as specified in Table 16, Table 17, Table 18 and Table 19.), at the end of which the Write in Progress (WIP) bit is reset to 0. In the case of Figure 10, Chip Select (S) is driven high after the eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in, indicating that the instruction is being used to write a single byte. If, though, Chip Select (S) continues to be driven low, as shown in Figure 11, the next byte of input data is shifted in, so that more than a single byte, starting from the given address towards the end of the same page, can be written in a single internal Write cycle. Each time a new data byte is shifted in, the least significant bits of the internal address counter are incremented. If the number of data bytes sent to the device exceeds the page boundary, the internal address counter rolls over to the beginning of the page, and the previous data there are overwritten with the incoming data. (The page size of these devices is 64 bytes). The instruction is not accepted, and is not executed, under the following conditions: ● if the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has not been set to 1 (by executing a Write Enable instruction just before) ● if a Write cycle is already in progress ● if the device has not been deselected, by Chip Select (S) being driven high, at a byte boundary (after the eighth bit, b0, of the last data byte that has been latched in) ● if the addressed page is in the region protected by the Block Protect (BP1 and BP0) bits.

The most significant address bit (b15) is Don’t Care. 5.6.1 ECC (error correction code) and Write cycling The M95256, M95256-W and M95256-R devices offer an ECC (error correction code) logic which compares each 4-byte word with its associated 6 EEPROM bits of ECC. As a result, if a single bit out of 4 bytes of data happens to be erroneous during a Read operation, the ECC detects it and replaces it by the correct value. The read reliability is therefore much improved by the use of this feature. Note however that even if a single byte has to be written, 4 bytes are internally modified (plus the ECC bits), that is, the addressed byte is cycled together with the three other bytes making up the word. It is therefore recommended to write by word (4 bytes) in order to benefit from the larger amount of Write cycles. The M95256-W6 and M95256-R6 devices are qualified at 1 million (1 000 000) Write cycles, using a cycling routine that writes to the device by multiples of 4-byte words. 23/43 Delivery state 6 M95256, M95256-W, M95256-R Delivery state The device is delivered with the memory array set at all 1s (FFh). The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) and Block Protect (BP1 and BP0) bits are initialized to 0. 7 Connecting to the SPI bus These devices are fully compatible with the SPI protocol. All instructions, addresses and input data bytes are shifted in to the device, most significant bit first. The Serial Data input (D) is sampled on the first rising edge of the Serial Clock (C) after Chip Select (S) goes low. All output data bytes are shifted out of the device, most significant bit first. The Serial Data output (Q) is latched on the first falling edge of the Serial Clock (C) after the instruction (such as the Read from Memory Array and Read Status Register instructions) have been clocked into the device. Figure 12 shows an example of three memory devices connected to an MCU, on an SPI bus. Only one memory device is selected at a time, so only one memory device drives the Serial Data output (Q) line at a time, the other memory devices are high impedance. Figure 12. Bus master and memory devices on the SPI bus VSS VCC R SDO SPI Interface with (CPOL, CPHA) = (0, 0) or (1, 1) SDI SCK VCC C Q D Bus Master (ST6, ST7, ST9, ST10, Others) SPI Memory Device R CS3 CS2 VCC C Q D VSS VCC C Q D VSS SPI Memory Device R VSS SPI Memory Device R CS1 S W HOLD S W HOLD S W HOLD AI12304b 1. The Write Protect (W) and Hold (HOLD) signals should be driven, high or low as appropriate. The pull-up resistor R (represented in Figure 12) ensures that a device is not selected if the bus master leaves the S line in the high-impedance state. In applications where the bus master might enter a state where all SPI bus inputs/outputs would be in high impedance at the same time (for example, if the bus master is reset during 24/43 M95256, M95256-W, M95256-R Connecting to the SPI bus the transmission of an instruction), the clock line (C) must be connected to an external pulldown resistor so that, if all inputs/outputs become high impedance, the C line is pulled low (while the S line is pulled high): this ensures that S and C do not become high at the same time, and so, that the tSHCH requirement is met. The typical value of R is 100 kΩ. 7.1 SPI modes These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in either of the two following modes: ● CPOL=0, CPHA=0 ● CPOL=1, CPHA=1 For these two modes, input data is latched in on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C), and output data is available from the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The difference between the two modes, as shown in Figure 13, is the clock polarity when the bus master is in Stand-by mode and not transferring data: ● C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) ● C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) Figure 13.
