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 micro-
controller 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 soft-
ware.
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 reg-
ister.
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.
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 format-
ted as follows:
7
WPEN
6 5 4
X X X
3
BP1
2
BP0
1
WEL
0
WIP
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.
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 program-
mable 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.
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:
•
•
•
•
Power-up
WRDI instruction successfully executed
WRSR instruction successfully executed
WRITE instruction successfully executed
