DESCRIPTION
MEMORY
ARRAY
The Microchip Technology Inc. 93C66A/B is a 4K-bit,
low-voltage serial Electrically Erasable PROM. The
device memory is configured as 512 x 8 bits (93C66A)
or 256 x 16 bits (93C66B). Advanced CMOS
technology makes this device ideal for low-power,
nonvolatile memory applications. The 93C66A/B is
available in standard 8-pin DIP and surface mount
SOIC packages. This device is only recommended
for 5V automotive temperature applications. For all
commercial and industrial temperature applications, the 93LC66A/B is recommended.

PIN DESCRIPTION
CLK cycles are not required during the self-timed
WRITE (i.e., auto ERASE/WRITE) cycle.
2.1
Chip Select (CS)
After detecting a START condition, the specified number of clock cycles (respectively low to high transitions
of CLK) must be provided. These clock cycles are
required to clock in all required opcodes, addresses,
and data bits before an instruction is executed
(Table 2-1 and Table 2-2). CLK and DI then become
don't care inputs waiting for a new START condition to
be detected.
A high level selects the device; a low 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 Chip Select (CS) input
signal. If CS is brought low during a program cycle, the
device will go into standby mode as soon as the programming cycle is completed.
Note:
CS must be low for 250 ns minimum (TCSL) between
consecutive instructions. If CS is low, the internal control logic is held in a RESET status.
2.2
2.3
Serial Clock (CLK)
Data In (DI)
Data In (DI) is used to clock in a START bit, opcode,
address, and data synchronously with the CLK input.
The Serial Clock (CLK) is used to synchronize the communication between a master device and
the 93C66A/B. Opcodes, addresses, and data bits
are clocked in on the positive edge of CLK. Data bits
are also clocked out on the positive edge of CLK.
2.4
Data Out (DO)
Data Out (DO) is used in the READ mode to output
data synchronously with the CLK input (TPD after the
positive edge of CLK).
CLK can be stopped anywhere in the transmission
sequence (at high or low level) and can be continued
anytime with respect to clock high time (TCKH) and
clock low time (TCKL). This gives the controlling master
freedom in preparing opcode, address, and data.
This pin also provides READY/BUSY status information during ERASE and WRITE cycles. READY/BUSY
status information is available on the DO pin if CS is
brought high after being low for minimum chip select
low time (TCSL) and an ERASE or WRITE operation
has been initiated. The status signal is not available on
DO, if CS is held low during the entire ERASE or
WRITE cycle. In this case, DO is in the HIGH-Z mode.
If status is checked after the ERASE/WRITE cycle, the
data line will be high to indicate the device is ready.
CLK is a “Don't Care” if CS is low (device deselected).
If CS is high, but the START condition has not been
detected, any number of clock cycles can be received
by the device without changing its status (i.e., waiting
for a START condition).

CS must go low between consecutive
instructions.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.2
Instructions, addresses, and write data are clocked into
the DI pin on the rising edge of the clock (CLK). The DO
pin is normally held in a HIGH-Z state except when
reading data from the device, or when checking the
READY/BUSY status during a programming operation.
The READY/BUSY status can be verified during an
ERASE/WRITE operation by polling the DO pin; DO
low indicates that programming is still in progress, while
DO high indicates the device is ready. The DO will enter
the HIGH-Z state on the falling edge of the CS.
3.1
It is possible to connect the Data In (DI) and Data
Out (DI) pins together. However, with this configuration
it is possible for a “bus conflict” to occur during the
“dummy zero” that precedes the READ operation, if A0
is a logic-high level. Under such a condition the voltage
level seen at DO is undefined and will depend upon the
relative impedances of DO and the signal source driving A0. The higher the current sourcing capability of A0,
the higher the voltage at the DO pin.
3.3
START Condition
The START bit is detected by the device if CS and DI
are both high with respect to the positive edge of CLK
for the first time.
Before a START condition is detected, CS, CLK, and DI
may change in any combination (except to that of a
START condition), without resulting in any device operation (ERASE, ERAL, EWDS, EWEN, READ, WRITE,
and WRAL). As soon as CS is high, the device is no
longer in the standby mode.
An instruction following a START condition will only be
executed if the required amount of opcodes,
addresses, and data bits for any particular instruction is
clocked in.
Data In (DI) and Data Out (DO)
Data Protection
During power-up, all programming modes of operation
are inhibited until VCC has reached a level greater than
3.8V. During power-down, the source data protection
circuitry acts to inhibit all programming modes when
Vcc has fallen below 3.8V at nominal conditions.
The ERASE/WRITE Disable (EWDS) and ERASE/
WRITE Enable (EWEN) commands give additional protection against accidentally programming during normal operation.
After power-up, the device is automatically in the
EWDS mode. Therefore, an EWEN instruction must be
performed before any ERASE or WRITE instruction
can be executed.
After execution of an instruction (i.e., clock in or out of
the last required address or data bit) CLK and DI
become don't care bits until a new START condition is
detected.

ERASE
3.5
The ERASE instruction forces all data bits of the specified address to the logical “1” state. This cycle begins
on the rising clock edge of the last address bit.
The Erase All (ERAL) instruction will erase the entire
memory array to the logical “1” state. The ERAL cycle
is identical to the ERASE cycle, except for the different
opcode. The ERAL cycle is completely self-timed and
commences at the rising clock edge of the last address
bit. Clocking of the CLK pin is not necessary after the
device has entered the ERAL cycle.
The DO pin indicates the READY/BUSY status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (TCSL). DO at logical “0” indicates that programming is still in progress. DO at logical “1” indicates that
the register at the specified address has been erased
and the device is ready for another instruction.

ERASE/WRITE Disable and Enable
(EWDS/EWEN)
3.7
The READ instruction outputs the serial data of the
addressed memory location on the DO pin. A dummy
zero bit precedes the 8-bit (93C66A) or 16-bit
(93C66B) output string. The output data bits will toggle
on the rising edge of the CLK and are stable after the
specified time delay (TPD). Sequential read is possible
when CS is held high. The memory data will automatically cycle to the next register and output sequentially.
The device powers up in the ERASE/WRITE Disable
(EWDS) state. All programming modes must be preceded by an ERASE/WRITE Enable (EWEN) instruction. Once the EWEN instruction is executed,
programming remains enabled until an EWDS instruction is executed or VCC is removed from the device. To
protect against accidental data disturbance, the EWDS
instruction can be used to disable all ERASE/WRITE
functions and should follow all programming operations. Execution of a READ instruction is independent
of both the EWEN and EWDS instructions.

WRITE
3.9
The WRITE instruction is followed by 8 bits (93C66A)
or 16 bits (93C66B) of data which are written into the
specified address. After the last data bit is clocked into
the DI pin the self-timed auto-erase and programming
cycle begins.
The WRAL instruction will write the entire memory
array with the data specified in the command. The
WRAL cycle is completely self-timed and commences
at the rising clock edge of the last data bit. Clocking of
the CLK pin is not necessary after the device has
entered the WRAL cycle. The WRAL command does
include an automatic ERAL cycle for the device. Therefore, the WRAL instruction does not require an ERAL
instruction but the chip must be in the EWEN status.
The DO pin indicates the READY/BUSY status of the
device, if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (TCSL) and before the entire write cycle is complete.
DO at logical “0” indicates that programming is still in
progress. DO at logical “1” indicates that the register at
the specified address has been written with the data
specified and the device is ready for another instruction.
