DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C01/02/04 is a 1K/2K/4K Bit SPI Serial
CMOS EEPROM internally organized as 128x8/256x8/
512x8 bits. Catalyst’s advanced CMOS Technology
substantially reduces device power requirements. The
CAT25C01/02/04 features a 16-byte page write buffer.
The device operates via the SPI bus serial interface and
is enabled though a Chip Select (CS). In addition to the
Chip Select, the clock input (SCK), data in (SI) and data
out (SO) are required to access the device. The
HOLD
pin may be used to suspend any serial communication
without resetting the serial sequence. The CAT25C01/
02/04 is designed with software and hardware write
protection features including Block Write protection. The
device is available in 8-pin DIP, 8-pin SOIC and 8-pin
TSSOP packages.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C01/02/04 supports the SPI bus data
transmission protocol. The synchronous Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) helps the CAT25C01/02/04 to interface
directly with many of today’s popular microcontrollers.
The CAT25C01/02/04 contains an 8-bit instruction
register. (The instruction set and the operation codes
are detailed in the instruction set table)
After the device is selected with
CS
going low, the first
byte will be received. The part is accessed via the SI pin,
with data being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK.
The first byte contains one of the six op-codes that define
the operation to be performed.
PIN DESCRIPTION
SI:
Serial Input
SI is the serial data input pin. This pin is used to input all
opcodes, byte addresses, and data to be written to the
CAT25010/20/40. Input data is latched on the rising
edge of the serial clock for SPI modes (0, 0 & 1, 1).
SO:
Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the CAT25C01/02/04. During a read
cycle, data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial
clock for SPI modes (0,0 & 1,1).

When
WP
is tied low and the WPEN bit in the status
register is set to “1”, all write operations to the status
register are inhibited.
WP
going low while
CS
is still low
will interrupt a write to the status register. If the internal
write cycle has already been initiated,
WP
going low will
have no effect on any write operation to the status
register. The
WP
pin function is blocked when the WPEN
bit is set to 0. Figure 10 illustrates the
WP
timing
sequence during a write operation.
HOLD:

SCK:
Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchronize
the communication between the microcontroller and the
CAT25C01/02/04. Opcodes, byte addresses, or data
present on the SI pin are latched on the rising edge of the
SCK. Data on the SO pin is updated on the falling edge
of the SCK for SPI modes (0,0 & 1,1) .
CS:
CS
Chip Select
CS
is the Chip select pin.
CS
low enables the CAT25C01/
02/04 and
CS
high disables the CAT25C01/02/04.
CS
high takes the SO output pin to high impedance and
forces the devices into a Standby Mode (unless an
internal write operation is underway) The CAT25C01/
02/04 draws ZERO current in the Standby mode. A high
to low transition on
CS
is required prior to any sequence
being initiated. A low to high transition on
CS
after a valid
write sequence is what initiates an internal write cycle.
WP:
WP
Write Protect
WP
is the Write Protect pin. The Write Protect pin will
allow normal read/write operations when held high.

The
HOLD
pin is used to pause transmission to the
CAT25C01/20/40 while in the middle of a serial sequence
without having to re-transmit entire sequence at a later
time. To pause,
HOLD
must be brought low while SCK
is low. The SO pin is in a high impedance state during
the time the part is paused, and transitions on the SI pins
will be ignored. To resume communication,
HOLD
is
brought high, while SCK is low. (HOLD should be held
high any time this function is not being used.)
HOLD
may
be tied high directly to V
CC
or tied to V
CC
through a
resistor. Figure 9 illustrates hold timing sequence.
