DESCRIPTION
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25AA320 is a 32K-bit
serial Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM). 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).
SPI is a trademark of Motorola.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
2.2
Read Status Register (RDSR)
The 25AA320 is a 4096 byte EEPROM designed to
interface directly with the serial peripheral interface (SPI)
port of many of today’s popular microcontroller families,
including Microchip’s midrange PIC16CXX microcontrol-
lers. It may also interface with microcontrollers that do
not have a built-in SPI port by using discrete I/O lines
programmed properly with software.
The 25AA320 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 sta-
tus register is set, the WP pin must be held high to allow
writing to the non-volatile bits in the status register.
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 25AA320 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
25AA320 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
programmable 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 25AA320 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:
•
•
•
•
