DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C32/64 is a 32K/64K-Bit SPI Serial CMOS
E
2
PROM internally organized as 4Kx8/8Kx8 bits.
Catalyst’s advanced CMOS Technology substantially
reduces device power requirements. The CAT25C32/
64 features a 64-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 CAT25C32/64 is
designed with software and hardware write protection
features including Block write protection. The device is
available in 8-pin DIP, 8-pin SOIC, 14-pin TSSOP and
20-pin TSSOP packages.

CAT25C32/64
Advanced Information
CS:
CS
Chip Select
CS
is the Chip select pin.
CS
low enables the CAT25C32/
64 and
CS
high disables the CAT25C32/64.
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 CAT25C32/64 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.
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.
HOLD:
HOLD
Hold
The
HOLD
pin is used to pause transmission to the
CAT25C32/64 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.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C32/64 supports the SPI bus data transmis-
sion protocol. The synchronous Serial Peripheral Inter-
face (SPI) helps the CAT25C32/64 to interface directly
with many of today’s popular microcontrollers. The
CAT25C32/64 contains an 8-bit instruction register.
(The instruction set and the operation codes are de-
tailed 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
25C32/64. Input data is latched on the rising edge of the
serial clock.
SO: Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the 25C32/64. During a read cycle,
data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock.
SCK: Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchro-
nize the communication between the microcontroller
and the 25C32/64. 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.

array. These bits are non-volatile.
The WPEN (Write Protect Enable) is an enable bit for the
WP
pin. The
WP
pin and WPEN bit in the status register
control the programmable hardware write protect fea-
ture. Hardware write protection is enabled when
WP
is
low and WPEN bit is set to high. The user cannot write
to the status register (including the block protect bits and
the WPEN bit) and the block protected sections in the
memory array when the chip is hardware write pro-
tected. Only the sections of the memory array that are
not block protected can be written. Hardware write
protection is disabled when either
WP
pin is high or the
WPEN bit is zero.
STATUS REGISTER
The Status Register indicates the status of the device.
The
RDY
(Ready) bit indicates whether the CAT25C32/
64 is busy with a write operation. When set to 1 a write
cycle is in progress and when set to 0 the device
indicates it is ready. This bit is read only.
The WEL (Write Enable) bit indicates the status of the
write enable latch . When set to 1, the device is in a Write
Enable state and when set to 0 the device is in a Write
Disable state. The WEL bit can only be set by the WREN
instruction and can be reset by the WRDI instruction.
The BP0 and BP1 (Block Protect) bits indicate which
blocks are currently protected. These bits are set by the
user issuing the WRSR instruction. The user is allowed
to protect quarter of the memory, half of the memory or
the entire memory by setting these bits. Once protected
the user may only read from the protected portion of the
