The Microchip Technology Inc. 23A512/23LC512 are
512-Kbit Serial SRAM devices. 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. Additionally, SDI
(Serial Dual Interface) and SQI (Serial Quad Interface)
is supported if your application needs faster data rates.
This device also supports unlimited reads and writes to
the memory array.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1
Principles of Operation
The 23A512/23LC512 is an 512Kbit Serial SRAM
designed to interface directly with the Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) port of many of today’s popular
microcontroller families, including Microchip’s PIC®
microcontrollers. It may also interface with microcontrollers that do not have a built-in SPI port by using
discrete I/O lines programmed properly in firmware to
match the SPI protocol. In addition, the 23A512/
23LC512 is also capable of operating in SDI/SQI high
speed SPI mode.
The 23A512/23LC512 contains an 8-bit instruction register. The device is accessed via the SI pin, with data
being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK. The CS pin
must be low for the entire operation.
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.
2.2
Modes of Operation
The 23x512 has three modes of operation that are
selected by setting bits 7 and 6 in the MODE register.
The modes of operation are Byte, Page and Burst.
Byte Operation – is selected when bits 7 and 6 in the
MODE register are set to 00. In this mode, the read/
write operations are limited to only one byte. The
Command followed by the 16-bit address is clocked into
the device and the data to/from the device is transferred
on the next eight clocks (Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2).
If operating in Sequential mode, the data stored in the
memory at the next address can be read sequentially
by continuing to provide clock pulses. The internal
Address Pointer is automatically incremented to the
next higher address after each byte of data is shifted
out. When the highest address is reached (FFFFh),
the address counter rolls over to address 0000h,
allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely.
The read operation is terminated by raising the CS
pin.
2.4
Write Sequence
Prior to any attempt to write data to the 23A512/
23LC512, the device must be selected by bringing CS
low.
Once the device is selected, the Write command can
be started by issuing a WRITE instruction, followed by
the 16-bit address, and then the data to be written. A
write is terminated by the CS being brought high.
If operating in Page mode, after the initial data byte is
shifted in, additional bytes can be shifted into the
device. The Address Pointer is automatically
incremented. This operation can continue for the entire
page (32 bytes) before data will start to be overwritten.
If operating in Sequential mode, after the initial data
byte is shifted in, additional bytes can be clocked into
the device. The internal Address Pointer is automatically incremented. When the Address Pointer reaches
the highest address (FFFFh), the address counter rolls
over to (0000h). This allows the operation to continue
indefinitely, however, previous data will be overwritten.
Page Operation – is selected when bits 7 and 6 in the
MODE register are set to 10. The 23x512 has 2048
pages of 32 bytes. In this mode, the read and write operations are limited to within the addressed page (the
address is automatically incremented internally). If the
data being read or written reaches the page boundary,
then the internal address counter will increment to the
start of the page (Figure 2-3, Figure 2-4).
Sequential Operation – is selected when bits 7 and 6
in the MODE register are set to 01. Sequential operation allows the entire array to be written to and read
from. The internal address counter is automatically
incremented and page boundaries are ignored. When
the internal address counter reaches the end of the
array, the address counter will roll over to 0x0000
(Figure 2-5, Figure 2-6).
2.3
Read Sequence
The device is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit
READ instruction is transmitted to the 23A512/23LC512
followed by the 16-bit address. After the correct READ
instruction and address are sent, the data stored in the
memory at the selected address is shifted out on the
SO pin.

Read Mode Register Instruction
(RDMR)
The mode bits indicate the operating mode of the
SRAM. The possible modes of operation are:
0 0 = Byte mode
The Read Mode Register instruction (RDMR) provides
access to the MODE register. The MODE register may
be read at any time. The MODE register is formatted as
follows:
TABLE 2-2:
1 0 = Page mode
0 1 = Sequential mode (default operation)
1 1 = Reserved
Bits 0 through 5 are reserved and should always be set
to ‘0’.

3.1
Chip Select (CS)
A low level on this pin selects the device. A high level
deselects the device and forces it into Standby mode.
When the device is deselected, SO goes to the highimpedance state, allowing multiple parts to share the
same SPI bus. After power-up, a low level on CS is
required, prior to any sequence being initiated.
3.2
Serial Output (SO)
The SO pin is used to transfer data out of the 23A512/
23LC512. During a read cycle, data is shifted out on
this pin after the falling edge of the serial clock.
3.3
Serial Input (SI)
The 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 clock.
3.4
3.6
Serial Clock (SCK)
The SCK is used to synchronize the communication
between a host and the 23A512/23LC512. Instructions,
addresses or data present on the SI pin are latched on
the rising edge of the clock input, while data on the SO
pin is updated after the falling edge of the clock input.
3.7
Hold Function (HOLD)
The HOLD pin is used to suspend transmission to the
23A512/23LC512 while in the middle of a serial
sequence without having to re-transmit the entire
sequence over again. It must be held high any time
this function is not being used. Once the device is
selected and a serial sequence is underway, the
HOLD pin may be pulled low to pause further serial
communication without resetting the serial sequence.
The HOLD pin should be brought low while SCK is
low, otherwise the HOLD function will not be invoked
until the next SCK high-to-low transition. The 23A512/
23LC512 must remain selected during this sequence.
The SI and SCK levels are “don’t cares” during the
time the device is paused and any transitions on these
pins will be ignored. To resume serial communication,
HOLD should be brought high while the SCK pin is
low, otherwise serial communication will not be
resumed until the next SCK high-to-low transition.
The SO line will tri-state immediately upon a high-to
low transition of the HOLD pin, and will begin
outputting again immediately upon a subsequent lowto-high transition of the HOLD pin, independent of the
state of SCK.
Hold functionality is not available when operating in
SQI mode.
Serial Dual Interface Pins(SIO0,
SIO1)
The SIO0 and SIO1 pins are used for SDI mode of
operation. Functionality of these I/O pins is shared with
SO and SI.
3.5
Serial Quad Interface Pins (SIO0 –
SIO3)
The SIO0 through SIO3 pins are used for SQI mode of
operation. Because of the shared functionality of these
pins the HOLD feature is not available when using SQI
mode.

DUAL AND QUAD SERIAL
MODE
4.1
The 23A512/23LC512 supports Serial Dual Input (SDI)
mode of operation. To enter SDI mode the EDIO command must be clocked in (Figure 4-1). It should be
noted that if the MCU resets before the SRAM, the user
will need to determine the serial mode of operation of
the SRAM and reset it accordingly. Byte read and write
sequence in SDI mode is shown in Figure 4-2 and
Figure 4-3.
The 23A512/23LC512 also supports SDI (Serial Dual)
and SQI (Serial Quad) mode of operation when used
with compatible host devices. As a convention for SDI
mode of operation, two bits are entered per clock using
the SIO0 and SIO1 pins. Bits are clocked MSB first.
For SQI mode of operation, four bits of data are entered
per clock, or one nibble per clock. The nibbles are
clocked MSB first.

Quad Interface Mode
In addition to the Serial Dual Interface (SDI) mode of
operation Serial Quad Interface (SQI) is also
supported. In this mode the HOLD functionality is not
available. To enter SQI mode the EQIO command must
be clocked in (Figure 4-4).
