DESCRIPTION
The CAT28HT256 is a fast, low power, 5V-only CMOS
parallel E
2
PROM organized as 32K x 8-bits. It requires
a simple interface for in-system programming. On-chip
address and data latches, self-timed write cycle with
auto-clear and V
CC
power up/down write protection
eliminate additional timing and protection hardware.
DATA
Polling and Toggle status bits signal the start and
end of the self-timed write cycle. Additionally, the
CAT28HT256 features hardware and software write
protection as well as an internal Error Correction Code
(ECC) for extremely high reliability.
The CAT28HT256 is manufactured using Catalyst’s
advanced CMOS floating gate technology. It is designed
to endure 100,000 program/erase cycles and has a data
retention of 100 years. The device is available in JEDEC
approved 28-pin Ceramic DIP package.

These are stress ratings only, and functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions outside of
those listed in the operational sections of this specifica-
tion is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum

Byte Load Cycle Time
Note:
(1) This parameter is tested intitially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter..
(2) A write pulse of less than 20ns duration will not initiate a write cycle.
(3) A timer of duration t
BLC
max. begins with every LOW to HIGH transition of WE. If allowed to time out, a page or byte write will begin;
however a transition from HIGH to LOW within t
BLC
max. stops the timer.
(4) Output floating (High-Z) is defined as the state when the external data line is no longer driven by the output buffer.

DEVICE OPERATION
Read
Data stored in the CAT28HT256 is transferred to the
data bus when
WE
is held high, and both
OE
and
CE
are
held low. The data bus is set to a high impedance state
when either
CE
or
OE
goes high. This 2-line control
architecture can be used to eliminate bus contention in
a system environment.

INPUT PULSE LEVELS

Note:
(1) Input rise and fall times (10% and 90%) < 10 ns.
Byte Write
A write cycle is executed when both
CE
and
WE
are low,
and
OE
is high. Write cycles can be initiated using either
WE
or
CE,
with the address input being latched on the
falling edge of
WE
or
CE,
whichever occurs last. Data,
conversely, is latched on the rising edge of
WE
or
CE,
whichever occurs first. Once initiated, a byte write cycle
automatically erases the addressed byte and the new
data is written within 10 ms.
