DESCRIPTION
The CAT33C804A is a 4K-bit Serial E
2
PROM that safe-
guards stored data from unauthorized access by use of
a user selectable (1 to 8 byte) access code and a
movable memory pointer. Two operating modes provide
unprotected and password-protected operation allow-
ing the user to configure the device as anything from a
ROM to a fully protected no-access memory. The
CAT33C804A uses a UART compatible asynchronous
protocol and has a Sequential Read feature where data
can be sequentially clocked out of the memory array.
The device is available in 8-pin DIP or 16-pin SOIC
packages.

PASSWORD PROTECTION
The CAT33C804A is a 4K-bit E
2
PROM that features a
password protection scheme to prevent unauthorized
access to the information stored in the device. It contains
an access code register which stores one to eight bytes
of access code along with the length of that access code.
Additionally, a memory pointer register stores the ad-
dress that partitions the memory into protected and
unprotected areas. As shipped from the factory, the
device is unprogrammed and unprotected. The length of
the access code is equal to zero and the memory pointer
register points to location zero. Every byte of the device
is fully accessible without an access code. Setting a
password and moving the memory pointer register to
cover all or part of the memory secures the device. Once
secured, the memory is divided into a read/write area
and a read-only area with the entry of a valid access
code. If no access code is entered, the memory is
Figure 1. A.C. Timing
VCC
tVCCS
CS
divided into a read-only area and a non-access area.
Figure 2 illlustrates this partitioning of the memory array.
WRITE PROTECTION
Another feature of the CAT33C804A is WRITE-protec-
tion without the use of an access code. If the memory
pointer register is set to cover all or part of the memory,
without setting the access code register, the device may
be divided into an area which allows full access, and an
area which allows READ-only access. To write into the
READ-only area, the user can override the memory
pointer register for every WRITE instruction or he can
simply move the address in the memory pointer register
to uncover this area, and then write into the memory.
This mechanism prevents inadvertent overwriting of
important data in the memory without the use of an
access code. Figure 3 illustrates this partitioning of the
memory array.

READ SEQUENTIAL
To allow for convenient reading of blocks of contiguous
data, the device has a READ SEQUENTIAL instruction
which accepts a starting address of the block and
continuously outputs data of subsequent addresses
until the end of memory, or until Chip Select goes LOW.
The CAT33C804A communicates with external devices
via an asynchronous serial communication protocol.
The data transmission may be a continuous stream of
data or it can be packed by pulsing Chip Select LOW in
between each packet of information. (Except for the
SEQUENTIAL READ instruction where Chip Select
must be held high).
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
CS
Chip Select is a TTL compatible input which, when set
HIGH, allows normal operation of the device. Any time
Chip Select is set LOW, it resets the device, terminating
all I/O communication, and puts the output in a high
impedance state. CS is used to reset the device if an
error condition exists or to put the device in a power-
down mode to minimize power consumption. It may also
be used to frame data transmission in applications
where the clock and data input have to be ignored from
time to time. Although CS resets the device, it does not
change the program/erase or the access-enable status,
nor does it terminate a programming cycle once it has
started. The program/erase and access-enable opera-
tions, once enabled, will remain enabled until specific
disabling instructions are sent or until power is removed.
