DESCRIPTION
This specification covers a range of 2K bit serial
EEPROM products, the ST93C56, 56C specified
at 5V
±
10% and the ST93C57C specified at 3V to
5.5V. In the text, products are referred to as
ST93C56.
The ST93C56 is a 2K bit Electrically Erasable
Programmable Memory (EEPROM) fabricated with
SGS-THOMSON’s High EnduranceSingle Polysili-
con CMOS technology. The memory is accessed
through a serial input (D) and output (Q). The 2K
bit memory is divided into either 256 x 8 bit bytes
or 128 x 16 bit words. The organization may be
selected by a signal applied on the ORG input.

Notes:
1. Except for the rating ”Operating Temperature Range”, stresses above those listed in the Table ”Absolute Maximum Ratings”
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the device at these or any other
conditions above those indicated in the Operating sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum
Rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the SGS-THOMSON SURE Program and other
relevant quality documents.

DESCRIPTION
(cont’d)
The memory is accessed by a set of instructions
which includes Read a byte/word, Write a
byte/word, Erase a byte/word, Erase All and Write
All. A Read instruction loads the address of the first
byte/word to be read into an internal address
pointer. The data contained at this address is then
clocked out serially. The address pointer is auto-
matically incremented after the data is output and,
if the Chip Select input (S) is held High, the
ST93C56 can output a sequential stream of data
bytes/words. In this way, the memory can be read
as a data stream from 8 to 2048 bits long, or
continuously as the address counter automatically
rolls over to ’00’ when the highest address is
reached. Programming is internally self-timed (the
external clock signal on C input may be discon-
2/13
nected or left running after the start of a Write cycle)
and does not require an erase cycle prior to the
Write instruction. The Write instruction writes 8 or
16 bits at one time into one of the 256 bytes or 128
words. After the start of the programming cycle, a
Busy/Ready signal is available on the Data output
(Q) when Chip Select (S) is driven High.
The design of the ST93C56 and the High Endur-
ance CMOS technologyused for its fabrication give
an Erase/Write cycle Endurance of 1,000,000 cy-
cles and a data retention of 40 years.
The DU (Don’t Use) pin does not affect the function
of the memory and it is reserved for use by SGS-
THOMSON during test sequences.The pin may be
left unconnected or may be connected to V
CC
or
V
SS
. Direct connection of DU to V
SS
is recom-
mended for the lowest standby power consump-
tion.

Notes:
1. Chip Select must be brought low for a minimum of 250 ns (t
SLSH
) between consecutive instruction cycles.
2. The Clock frequency specification calls for a minimum clock period of 1
µs,
therefore the sum of the timings t
CHCL
+ t
CLCH
must be greater or equal to 1
µs.
For example, if t
CHCL
is 250 ns, then t
CLCH
must be at least 750 ns.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The ST93C56 is organized as 256 bytes x 8 bits or
128 words x 16 bits. If the ORG input is left uncon-
nected (or connected to V
CC
) the x16 organization
is selected, when ORG is connected to Ground
(V
SS
) the x8 organization is selected. When the
ST93C56 is in standby mode, the ORG input
should be unconnected or set to either V
SS
or V
CC
in order to achieve the minimum power consump-
tion. Any voltage between V
SS
and V
CC
applied to
ORG may increase the standby current value.
POWER-ON DATA PROTECTION
In order to prevent data corruption and inadvertent
write operations during power up, a Power On
Reset (POR) circuit resets all internal programming
circuitry and sets the device in the Write Disable
mode. When V
CC
reaches its functional value, the
device is properly reset (in the Write Disable mode)
and is ready to decode and execute an incoming
instruction. A stable V
CC
must be applied, before
applying any logic signal.
