Note:
1. The Write-Protect (WP) and Hold (HOLD) pins should be driven high or low as appropriate.
2.1
Chip Select (CS)
The AT25512 is selected when the Chip Select (CS) pin is low. When the device is not selected, data will not be
accepted via the Serial Data Input (SI) pin, and the Serial Output (SO) pin will remain in a high‑impedance state.
To ensure robust operation, the CS pin should follow VCC upon power-up. It is therefore recommended to connect CS
to VCC using a pull-up resistor (less than or equal to 10 kΩ). After power-up, a low level on CS is required prior to any
sequence being initiated.
2.2
Serial Data Output (SO)
The Serial Data Output (SO) pin is used to transfer data out of the AT25512. During a read sequence, data is shifted
out on this pin after the falling edge of the Serial Data Clock (SCK).
2.3
Write-Protect (WP)
The Write-Protect (WP) pin will allow normal read/write operations when held high. When the WP pin is brought low
and the WPEN bit is set to a logic ‘1’, all write operations to the STATUS register are inhibited. WP going low while
CS is still low will interrupt a write operation 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 in the STATUS register is set to a logic ‘0’. This will allow the user to install the AT25512
in a system with the WP pin tied to ground and still be able to write to the STATUS register. All WP pin functions are
enabled when the WPEN bit is set to a logic ‘1’.
2.4
Ground
The ground reference for the power supply. GND should be connected to the system ground.
2.5
Serial Data Input (SI)
The Serial Data Input (SI) pin is used to transfer data into the device. It receives instructions, addresses and data.
Data is latched on the rising edge of the Serial Data Clock (SCK).

Pin Description
2.6
Serial Data Clock (SCK)
The Serial Data Clock (SCK) pin is used to synchronize the communication between a host and the AT25512.
Instructions, addresses or data present on the Serial Data Input (SI) pin is latched in on the rising edge of SCK, while
output on the Serial Data Output (SO) pin is clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.
2.7
Device Power Supply (VCC)
The Device Power Supply (VCC) pin is used to supply the source voltage to the device. Operations at invalid VCC
voltages may produce spurious results and should not be attempted.

Power-Up Requirements and Reset Behavior
tHO

High
Impedance
During a power-up sequence, the VCC supplied to the AT25512 should monotonically rise from GND to the minimum
VCC level (as specified in Table 4-1), with a slew rate no faster than 0.1 V/µs.
4.6.1.1
Device Reset
To prevent inadvertent write operations or any other spurious events from occurring during a power-up sequence, the
AT25512 includes a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit. Upon power-up, the device will not respond to any instructions
until the VCC level crosses the internal voltage threshold (VPOR) that brings the device out of Reset and into Standby
mode.
The system designer must ensure the instructions are not sent to the device until the VCC supply has reached a
stable value greater than or equal to the minimum VCC level. Additionally, once the VCC is greater than or equal to the
minimum VCC level, the bus host must wait at least tPUP before sending the first instruction to the device. See Table
4-4 for the values associated with these power-up parameters.

If an event occurs in the system where the VCC level supplied to the AT25512 drops below the maximum VPOR level
specified, it is recommended that a full-power cycle sequence be performed by first driving the VCC pin to GND in less
than 1 ms, waiting at least the minimum tPOFF time and then performing a new power-up sequence in compliance
with the requirements defined in this section.

4.6.4
Software Reset
The SPI interface of the AT25512 can be reset by toggling the CS input. If the CS line is already in the Active state, it
must complete a transition from the Inactive state (≥VIH) to the Active state (≤VIL) and then back to the Inactive state
(≥VIH) without sending clocks on the SCK line. Upon completion of this sequence, the device will be ready to receive
a new opcode on the SI line.
4.6.5
Device Default State at Power-Up
The AT25512 default state upon power-up consists of:
• Standby Power mode
• A high-to-low-level transition on CS is required to enter Active state
• Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the STATUS register = 0
•
Ready/Busy bit in the STATUS register = 0, indicating the device is ready to accept a new command

AT25512
Device Operation
5.
Device Operation
The AT25512 is controlled by a set of instructions that are sent from a host controller, commonly referred to as the
SPI Host. The SPI Host communicates with the AT25512 via the SPI bus which is comprised of four signal lines: Chip
Select (CS), Serial Data Clock (SCK), Serial Data Input (SI) and Serial Data Output (SO).
The SPI protocol defines a total of four modes of operation (Mode 0, 1, 2 or 3) with each mode differing in respect
to the SCK polarity and phase and how the polarity and phase control the flow of data on the SPI bus. The AT25512
supports the two most common modes, SPI Modes 0 and 3. With SPI Modes 0 and 3, data is always latched in on
the rising edge of SCK and always output on the falling edge of SCK. The only difference between SPI Modes 0
and 3 is the polarity of the SCK signal when in the Inactive state (when the SPI Host is in Standby mode and not
transferring any data). SPI Mode 0 is defined as a low SCK while CS is not asserted (at VCC) and SPI Mode 3 has
SCK high in the Inactive state. The SCK Idle state must match when the CS is deasserted both before and after the
communication sequence in SPI Mode 0 and 3. The figures in this document depict Mode 0 with a solid line on SCK
while CS is inactive and Mode 3 with a dotted line.

Interfacing the AT25512 on the SPI Bus
Communication to and from the AT25512 must be initiated by the SPI Host device, such as a microcontroller. The
SPI Host device must generate the serial clock for the AT25512 on the Serial Data Clock (SCK) pin. The AT25512
always operates as a client due to the fact that the SCK is always an input.
5.1.1
Selecting the Device
The AT25512 is selected when the Chip Select (CS) pin is low. When the device is not selected, data will not be
accepted via the Serial Data Input (SI) pin, and the Serial Data Output (SO) pin will remain in a high‑impedance state.
5.1.2
Sending Data to the Device
The AT25512 uses the SI pin to receive information. All instructions, addresses and data input bytes are clocked into
the device with the Most Significant bit (MSb) first. The SI pin samples on the first rising edge of the SCK line after
the CS has been asserted.
5.1.3
Receiving Data from the Device
Data output from the device is transmitted on the SO pin, with the MSb output first. The SO data is latched on the
first falling edge of SCK after the instruction has been clocked into the device, such as the Read from Memory Array
(READ) and Read STATUS Register (RDSR) instructions. See Read Sequence for more details.

Device Operation
5.2
Device Opcodes
5.2.1
Serial Opcode
After the device is selected by driving CS low, the first byte will be received on the SI pin. This byte contains the
opcode that defines the operation to be performed. Refer to Table 6-1 for a list of all opcodes that the AT25512 will
respond to.
5.2.2
Invalid Opcode
If an invalid opcode is received, no data will be shifted into AT25512 and the SO pin will remain in a high‑impedance
state until the falling edge of CS is detected again. This will reinitialize the serial communication.
5.3
Hold Function
The Suspend Serial Input (HOLD) pin is used to pause the serial communication with the device without having to
stop or reset the clock sequence. The Hold mode, however, does not have an effect on the internal write cycle.
Therefore, if a write cycle is in progress, asserting the HOLD pin will not pause the operation and the write cycle will
continue to completion.
The Hold mode can only be entered while the CS pin is asserted. The Hold mode is activated by asserting the HOLD
pin during the SCK low pulse. If the HOLD pin is asserted during the SCK high pulse, then the Hold mode will not be
started until the beginning of the next SCK low pulse. The device will remain in the Hold mode as long as the HOLD
pin and CS pin are asserted.
While in Hold mode, the SO pin will be in a high-impedance state. In addition, both the SI pin and the SCK pin will be
ignored. The Write-Protect (WP) pin, however, can still be asserted or deasserted while in the Hold mode.
To end the Hold mode and resume serial communication, the HOLD pin must be deasserted during the SCK low
pulse. If the HOLD pin is deasserted during the SCK high pulse, then the Hold mode will not end until the beginning
of the next SCK low pulse.
If the CS pin is deasserted while the HOLD pin is still asserted, then any operation that may have been started will be
aborted and the device will reset the WEL bit in the STATUS register back to the logic ‘0’ state.

Write Protection
The Write-Protect (WP) pin will allow normal read and write operations when held high. When the WP pin is brought
low and WPEN bit is a logic ‘1’, all write operations to the STATUS register are inhibited. The WP pin going low while
CS is still low will interrupt a Write STATUS Register (WRSR). 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 in the STATUS register is a logic ‘0’. This will allow the user to install the AT25512 device in a system with
the WP pin tied to ground and still be able to write to the STATUS register. All WP pin functions are enabled when the
WPEN bit is set to a logic ‘1’.

6.2
Read STATUS Register (RDSR)
The Read STATUS Register (RDSR) instruction provides access to the STATUS register. The ready/busy and write
enable status of the device can be determined by the RDSR instruction. Similarly, the Block Write-Protect (BP1, BP0)
bits indicate the extent of memory array protection employed. The STATUS register is read by asserting the CS pin,
followed by sending in a 05h opcode on the SI pin. Upon completion of the opcode, the device will return the 8‑bit
STATUS register value on the SO pin.

Write Enable (WREN) and Write Disable (WRDI)
Enabling and disabling writing to the STATUS register and EEPROM array is accomplished through the Write Enable
(WREN) instruction and the Write Disable (WRDI) instruction. These functions change the status of the WEL bit in the
STATUS register.
6.3.1
Write Enable Instruction (WREN)
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the STATUS register must be set to a logic ‘1’ prior to each Write STATUS
Register (WRSR) and Write to Memory Array (WRITE) instructions. This is accomplished by sending a WREN (06h)
instruction to the AT25512. First, the CS pin is driven low to select the device and then a WREN instruction is clocked
in on the SI pin. Then the CS pin can be driven high and the WEL bit will be updated in the STATUS register to a logic
‘1’. The device will power‑up in the Write Disable state (WEL = 0).

Write STATUS Register (WRSR)
The Write STATUS Register (WRSR) instruction enables the SPI Host to change selected bits of the STATUS register.
Before a WRSR instruction can be initiated, a WREN instruction must be executed to set the WEL bit to logic ‘1’. Upon
completion of a WREN instruction, a WRSR instruction can be executed.
Note: The WRSR instruction has no effect on bit 6, bit 5, bit 4, bit 1 and bit 0 of the STATUS register. Only bit 7, bit
3 and bit 2 can be changed via the WRSR instruction. These modifiable bits are the Write-Protect Enable (WPEN) and
Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits. These three bits are nonvolatile bits that have the same properties and functions as
regular EEPROM cells. Their values are retained while power is removed from the device.
The AT25512 will not respond to commands other than a RDSR after a WRSR instruction until the self‑timed internal
write cycle has completed. When the write cycle is completed, the WEL bit in the STATUS register is reset to logic ‘0’.

6.4.1
Block Write-Protect Function
The WRSR instruction allows the user to select one of four possible combinations as to how the memory array will be
inhibited from writing through changing the Block Write-Protect bits (BP1, BP0). The four levels of array protection
are:
• None of the memory array is protected.
• Upper quarter (¼) address range is write-protected meaning the highest order address bits are read‑only.
• Upper half (½) address range is write-protected meaning the highest order address bits are read‑only.
• All of the memory array is write-protected meaning all address bits are read‑only.
The Block Write Protection levels and corresponding STATUS register control bits are shown in Table 6-4.

Write-Protect Enable Function
The WRSR instruction also allows the user to enable or disable the Write-Protect (WP) pin through the use of the
Write-Protect Enable (WPEN) bit. When the WPEN bit is set to logic ‘0’, the ability to write the EEPROM array
is dictated by the values of the Block Write-Protect (BP1, BP0) bits. The ability to write the STATUS register is
controlled by the WEL bit. When the WPEN bit is set to logic ‘1’, the STATUS register is read-only.
Hardware Write Protection is enabled when both the WP pin is low and the WPEN bit has been set to a logic ‘1’.
When the device is Hardware Write‑Protected, writes to the STATUS register, including the Block Write‑Protect, WEL
and WPEN bits and to the sections in the memory array selected by the Block Write‑Protect bits are disabled. When
Hardware Write Protection is enabled, writes are only allowed to sections of the memory that are not block‑protected.

Hardware Write Protection is disabled when either the WP pin is high or the WPEN bit is a logic ‘0’. When Hardware
Write Protection is disabled, writes are only allowed to sections of the memory that are not block‑protected. Refer to

Note: When the WPEN bit is Hardware Write‑Protected, it cannot be set back to a logic ‘0’ as long as the WP pin is
held low.

Read Sequence
7.
Read Sequence
Reading the AT25512 via the SO pin requires the following sequence. After the CS line is pulled low to select a
device, the READ (03h) instruction is transmitted via the SI line followed by the 16‑bit address to be read. Refer to
Table 7-1 for the address bits for AT25512.
Table 7-1. AT25512 Address Bits
Address
AT25512
AN
A15—A0
Upon completion of the 16‑bit address, any data on the SI line will be ignored. The data (D7‑D0) at the specified
address is then shifted out onto the SO line. If only one byte is to be read, the CS line should be driven high after the
data comes out. The read sequence can be continued since the byte address is automatically incremented and data
will continue to be shifted out. When the highest‑order address bit is reached, the address counter will rollover to the
lowest‑order address bit allowing the entire memory to be read in one continuous read cycle regardless of the starting
address.

Write Sequence
In order to program the AT25512, two separate instructions must be executed. First, the device must be write
enabled via the Write Enable (WREN) instruction. Then, one of the two possible write sequences described in this
section may be executed.
Note: If the device is not Write Enabled (WREN), the device will ignore the WRITE instruction and will return to the
standby state when CS is brought high. A new CS assertion is required to re‑initiate communication.
The address of the memory location(s) to be programmed must be outside the protected address field location
selected by the block write protection level. During an internal write cycle, all commands will be ignored except the
RDSR instruction. Refer to Table 8-1 for the address bits for AT25512.

Byte Write
A byte write requires the following sequence and is depicted in Figure 8-1. After the CS line is pulled low to select the
device, the WRITE (02h) instruction is transmitted via the SI line followed by the 16‑bit address and the data (D7‑D0)
to be programmed. Programming will start after the CS pin is brought high. The low‑to‑high transition of the CS pin
must occur during the SCK low time (Mode 0) and SCK high time (Mode 3) immediately after clocking in the D0
(LSB) data bit. The AT25512 is automatically returned to the Write Disable state (STATUS register bit WEL = 0) at the
completion of a write cycle.

Page Write
A page write sequence allows up to 128 bytes to be written in the same write cycle, provided that all bytes are in
the same row of the memory array. Partial page writes of less than 128 bytes are allowed. After each byte of data
is received, the seven lowest order address bits are internally incremented following the receipt of each data byte.
The higher order address bits are not incremented and retain the memory array page location. If more bytes of data
are transmitted that what will fit to the end of that memory row, the address counter will rollover to the beginning of
the same row. Nevertheless, creating a rollover event should be avoided as previously loaded data in the page could
become unintentionally altered. The AT25512 is automatically returned to the Write Disable state (WEL = 0) at the
completion of a write cycle.

Polling Routine
A polling routine can be implemented to optimize time‑sensitive applications that would not prefer to wait the fixed
maximum write cycle time (tWC). This method allows the application to know immediately when the write cycle has
completed to start a subsequent operation.
Once the internally-timed write cycle has started, a polling routine can be initiated. This involves repeatedly sending a
Read STATUS Register (RDSR) instruction to determine if the device has completed its self-timed internal write cycle.
If the RDY/BSY bit (bit 0 of STATUS register) = 1, the write cycle is still in progress. If bit 0 = 0, the write cycle has
ended. If the RDY/BSY bit = 1, repeated RDSR commands can be executed until the RDY/BSY bit = 0, signaling
that the device is ready to execute a new instruction. Only the Read STATUS Register (RDSR) instruction is enabled
during the write cycle.

Microchip Devices Code Protection Feature
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
•
•
•
•
Microchip products meet the specifications contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is secure when used in the intended manner and under normal
conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods being used in attempts to breach the code protection features
of the Microchip devices. We believe that these methods require using the Microchip products in a manner
outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Attempts to breach these code
protection features, most likely, cannot be accomplished without violating Microchip’s intellectual property rights.
Microchip is willing to work with any customer who is concerned about the integrity of its code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of its code. Code
protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product is “unbreakable.” Code protection is constantly
evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products.
Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue
for relief under that Act.
