NM93CS56
(MICROWIRE™ Bus Interface) 2048-Bit Serial EEPROM
with Data Protect and Sequential Read
General Description
NM93CS56 is a 2048-bit CMOS non-volatile EEPROM organized
as 128 x 16-bit array. This device features MICROWIRE interface
which is a 4-wire serial bus with chipselect (CS), clock (SK), data
input (DI) and data output (DO) signals. This interface is compat-
ible to many of standard Microcontrollers and Microprocessors.
NM93CS56 offers programmable write protection to the memory
array using a special register called Protect Register. Selected
memory locations can be protected against write by programming
this Protect Register with the address of the first memory location
to be protected (all locations greater than or equal to this first
address are then protected from further change). Additionally, this
address can be “permanently locked” into the device, making all
future attempts to change data impossible. In addition this device
features “sequential read”, by which, entire memory can be read
in one cycle instead of multiple single byte read cycles. There are
10 instructions implemented on the NM93CS56, 5 of which are for
memory operations and the remaining 5 are for Protect Register
operations. This device is fabricated using Fairchild Semiconduc-
tor floating-gate CMOS process for high reliability, high endurance
and low power consumption.
“LZ” and “L” versions of NM93CS56 offer very low standby current
making them suitable for low power applications. This device is offered
in both SO and TSSOP packages for small space considerations.

Note 1:
Stress above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage

conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the specification is not implied. Exposure
to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

SK clock speed (minimum SK period) is determined by the interaction of several AC parameters stated
in the datasheet. Within this SK period, both t

NM93CS56 (MICROWIRE Bus Interface) 2048-Bit Serial EEPROM
with Data Protect and Sequential Read
Pin Description
Chip Select (CS)
This is an active high input pin to NM93CS56 EEPROM (the device)
and is generated by a master that is controlling the device. A high
level on this pin selects the device and a low level deselects the
device. All serial communications with the device is enabled only
when this pin is held high. However this pin cannot be permanently
tied high, as a rising edge on this signal is required to reset the
internal state-machine to accept a new cycle and a falling edge to
initiate an internal programming after a write cycle. All activity on the
SK, DI and DO pins are ignored while CS is held low.
Program Enable (PE)
This is an active high input pin to the device and is used to enable
operations, that are write in nature, to the memory array and to the
Protect register. When this pin is held high, operations that are
“write” in nature are enabled. When this pin is held low, operations
that are “write” in nature are disabled. This pin operates in
conjunction with PRE pin. Refer Table1 for functional matrix of this
pin for various operations.
Microwire Interface
A typical communication on the Microwire bus is made through the
CS, SK, DI and DO signals. To facilitate various operations on the
Memory array and on the Protect Register, a set of 10 instructions
are implemented on NM93CS56. The format of each instruction is
listed in Table 1.
Serial Clock (SK)
This is an input pin to the device and is generated by the master that
is controlling the device. This is a clock signal that synchronizes the
communication between a master and the device. All input informa-
tion (DI) to the device is latched on the rising edge of this clock input,
while output data (DO) from the device is driven from the rising edge
of this clock input. This pin is gated by CS signal.
Instruction
Each of the above 10 instructions is explained under individual
instruction descriptions.
Serial Input (DI)
This is an input pin to the device and is generated by the master
that is controlling the device. The master transfers Input informa-
tion (Start bit, Opcode bits, Array addresses and Data) serially via
this pin into the device. This Input information is latched on the
rising edge of the SCK. This pin is gated by CS signal.
Start Bit
This is a 1-bit field and is the first bit that is clocked into the device
when a Microwire cycle starts. This bit has to be “1” for a valid cycle
to begin. Any number of preceding “0” can be clocked into the
device before clocking a “1”.
Opcode
This is a 2-bit field and should immediately follow the start bit.
These two bits (along with PRE, PE signals and 2 MSB of address
field) select a particular instruction to be executed.
Serial Output (DO)
This is an output pin from the device and is used to transfer Output
data via this pin to the controlling master. Output data is serially
shifted out on this pin from the rising edge of the SCK. This pin is
active only when the device is selected.
Address Field
This is a 8-bit field and should immediately follow the Opcode bits.
In NM93CS56, only the LSB 7 bits are used for address decoding
during READ, WRITE and PRWRITE instructions. During these
three instructions (READ, WRITE and PRWRITE), the MSB is
“don’t care” (can be 0 or 1). During all other instructions (with the
exception of PRREAD), the MSB 2 bits are used to decode
instruction (along with Opcode bits, PRE and PE signals).
Protect Register Enable (PRE)
This is an active high input pin to the device and is used to
distinguish operations to memory array and operations to Protect
Register. When this pin is held low, operations to the memory
array are enabled. When this pin is held high, operations to the
Protect Register are enabled. This pin operates in conjunction
with PE pin. Refer Table1 for functional matrix of this pin for
various operations.
Data Field
This is a 16-bit field and should immediately follow the Address
bits. Only the WRITE and WRALL instructions require this field.
D15 (MSB) is clocked first and D0 (LSB) is clocked last (both
during writes as well as reads).
