Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25XX160C/D(1) are
16-Kbit
Serial
Electrically
Erasable
PROMs
(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.
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.

2.1
Chip Select (CS)
A low level on this pin selects the device. A high level
deselects the device and forces it into Standby mode.
However, a programming cycle which is already
initiated or in progress will be completed, regardless of
CS input signal. If CS is brought high during a program
cycle, the device will go into Standby mode as soon as
the programming cycle is complete. When the device is
deselected, SO goes to high-impedance state, allowing
multiple parts to share the same SPI bus.
A low-to-high transition on CS after a valid write
sequence initiates an internal write cycle. After
power-up, a low level on CS is required prior to any
sequence being initiated.
2.2
Serial Output (SO)
The SO pin is used to transfer data out of the
25XX160C/D. During a read cycle, data are shifted out
on this pin after the falling edge of the serial clock.
2.3
Write-Protect (WP)
This pin is used in conjunction with the WPEN bit in the
STATUS register to prohibit writes to the nonvolatile
bits in the STATUS register. When WP is low and
WPEN is high, writing to the nonvolatile bits in the
STATUS register is disabled. All other operations
function normally. When WP is high, all functions,
including writes to the nonvolatile bits in the STATUS
register, operate normally. If the WPEN bit is set, WP
low during a STATUS register write sequence will
disable writing to the STATUS register. If an internal
write cycle has already begun, WP going low will have
no effect on the write. The WP pin function is blocked
when the WPEN bit in the STATUS register is low. This
allows the user to install the 25XX160C/D in a system
with WP pin grounded and still be able to write to
STATUS register. The WP pin functions will be enabled
when WPEN bit is set high.
DS20002150C-page 6
2.4
Serial Input (SI)
The SI pin is used to transfer data into the device. It
receives instructions, addresses and data. Data are
latched on the rising edge of the serial clock.
2.5
Serial Clock (SCK)
The SCK is used to synchronize the communication
between a host and the 25XX160C/D. 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 are updated after the falling edge of the clock input.
2.6
Hold (HOLD)
The HOLD pin is used to suspend transmission to the
25XX160C/D while in the middle of a serial sequence
without having to retransmit the entire sequence 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 must be brought low while SCK is low,
otherwise the HOLD function will not be invoked until
the next SCK high-to-low transition. The 25XX160C/D
must remain selected during this sequence. The SI and
SCK levels are “don’t cares” during the time the device
is paused and transitions on these pins will be ignored.
To resume serial communication, HOLD must 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
low-to-high transition of the HOLD pin, independent of
the state of SCK.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1
Principles of Operation
The 25XX160C/D are 2048-byte Serial EEPROMs
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.
the HOLD input and place the 25XX160C/D in ‘HOLD’
mode. After releasing the HOLD pin, operation will
resume from the point when the HOLD was asserted.
Block Diagram
STATUS
Register
I/O Control
Logic
The 25XX160C/D 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 and the HOLD pin must be high for the entire
operation.
Table 3-1contains a list of the possible instruction bytes
and format for device operation. All instructions,
addresses and data are transferred Most Significant bit
(MSb) first, Least Significant bit (LSb) last.
Data (SI) are 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

Read Sequence
address 0000h allowing the read cycle to be continued
indefinitely. The read operation is terminated by raising
the CS pin (Figure 3-1).
The device is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit
READ instruction is transmitted to the 25XX160C/D followed by the 16-bit address, with the five MSBs of the
address being “don’t care” bits. See Figure 3-1 for
more details.
After the correct READ instruction and address are sent,
the data stored in the memory at the selected address
are shifted out on the SO pin. 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 (07FFh), the address counter rolls over to

3.3
Write Sequence
Note:
Prior to any attempt to write data to the 25XX160C/D,
the write enable latch must be set by issuing the WREN
instruction (Figure 3-4). This is done by setting CS low
and then clocking out the proper instruction into the
25XX160C/D. After all eight bits of the instruction are
transmitted, the CS must be brought high to set the
write enable latch.
Page write operations are limited to
writing bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes
actually being written. Physical page
boundaries start at addresses that are
integer multiples of the page buffer size
(or ‘page size’) and end at addresses that
are integer multiples of page size – 1. If a
Page Write command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wrap around to the
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page as might be
expected. It is therefore necessary for the
application software to prevent page write
operations that would attempt to cross a
page boundary.
If the write operation is initiated immediately after the
WREN instruction without CS being brought high, the
data will not be written to the array because the write
enable latch will not have been properly set.
Once the write enable latch is set, the user may
proceed by setting the CS low, issuing a WRITE
instruction, followed by the 16-bit address, with the five
MSBs of the address being “don’t care” bits and then
the data to be written. Up to 16 bytes (25XX160C) or
32 bytes (25XX160D) of data can be sent to the device
before a write cycle is necessary. The only restriction is
that all of the bytes must reside in the same page.
FIGURE 3-2:
For the data to be actually written to the array, the CS
must be brought high after the Least Significant bit (D0)
of the nth data byte has been clocked in. If CS is
brought high at any other time, the write operation will
not be completed. Refer to Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3
for more detailed illustrations on the byte write
sequence and the page write sequence, respectively.
While the write is in progress, the STATUS register may
be read to check the status of the WPEN, WIP, WEL,
BP1 and BP0 bits (Figure 3-6). A read attempt of a
memory array location will not be possible during a
write cycle. When the write cycle is completed, the
write enable latch is reset.

Write Enable (WREN) and Write
Disable (WRDI)
The following is a list of conditions under which the
write enable latch will be reset:
•
•
•
•
The 25XX160C/D contains a write enable latch. See
Table 3-4 for the Write-Protect Functionality Matrix.
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.

Read Status Register (RDSR)
Instruction
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status
of the write enable latch and is read-only. When set to
a ‘1’, the latch allows writes to the array, when set to
a ‘0’, the latch prohibits writes to the array. 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. These commands are shown
in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5.
The Read Status Register (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 formatted as follows:
TABLE 3-2:
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 nonvolatile and are shown in Table 3-3.

The Write-In-Process (WIP) bit indicates whether the
25XX160C/D 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.

3.6
Write Status Register (WRSR)
Instruction
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 nonvolatile bits in the
STATUS register are disabled. See Table 3-4 for a
matrix of functionality on the WPEN bit.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the
user to write to the nonvolatile bits in the STATUS register as shown in Table 3-2. The user is able to select
one of four levels of protection for the array by writing
to the appropriate bits in the STATUS register. The
array is divided up into four segments. The user has the
ability to write-protect none, one, two or all four of the
segments of the array. The partitioning is controlled as
shown in Table 3-3.
See Figure 3-7 for the WRSR timing sequence.
TABLE 3-3:
The Write-Protect Enable (WPEN) bit is a nonvolatile
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.

DATA PROTECTION
The following protection has been implemented to
prevent inadvertent writes to the array:
• The write enable latch is reset on power-up
• A write enable instruction must be issued to set
the write enable latch
• After a byte write, page write or STATUS register
write, the write enable latch is reset
• CS must be set high after the proper number of
clock cycles to start an internal write cycle
• Access to the array during an internal write cycle
is ignored and programming is continued
5.0
POWER-ON STATE
The 25XX160C/D powers on in the following state:
• The device is in low-power Standby mode
(CS = 1)
• The write enable latch is reset
• SO is in high-impedance state
• A high-to-low-level transition on CS is required to
enter active state
