General Description
The AK6510C/12C is a 32768/65536-bit, serial, read/write, non-volatile memory device fabricated
using an advanced CMOS EEPROM technology. The AK6510C/12C has 32768-bits/65536-bits of
memory organized as 4096/8192 registers of 8 bits each. The AK6510C/12C can operate all
function under wide operating voltage range: 1.8V to 5.5V. The charge up circuit for high voltage
generation needed for write operations is integrated.
The AK6510C/12C serial interface is compatible to a SPI bus. The AK6510C/12C has 6
instructions: READ, WRITE, WREN (write enable), WRDI (write disable), RDSR (read status
register), and WRSR (write status register).
Each instruction is organized by an op-code (8bits), address (16bits), and data (8bits). When input
level of CS pin changed from high level to low level, AK6510C/12C can receive instructions.

Data Transfer
An IC that outputs the clock is called "MASTER", an IC that receives the clock is called "SLAVE".
The AK6510C/12C operates as a SLAVE. Data is written to the SI pin and read from SO pin. The
MSB is transmitted first.
After CS pin changes hi level to low level, AK6510C/12C receives the first data bit on the SI pin
synchronously with the rising edge of the input pulse of serial clock. While CS pin is high level, the
data input to the SI pin is don’t care and SO pin indicates Hi-Z.
All the functions are organized 8 bits of op-code, address, and data. If there is an invalid op-code,
the AK6510C/12C ignores the address and data information and SO pin indicates Hi-Z. In order to
input new op-code, CS pin should be toggled.
Hold
AK6510C/12C has a HOLD pin that can hold the data transfer. When HOLD changes high to low
while SCK is low, the data transfer stops. After the HOLD pin changes low to High while SCK is
low, the data transfer starts again. While the data transfer is paused, AK6510C/12C ignores the
clock on the SCK line.
Write Protect
AK6510C/12C has status registers. When the WPEN bit in the status registers is "1", Write Protect
function is enabled. When WPEN bit is "1" and WP pin is low level, the status register is protected
from write function. When WP pin becomes low level while the WRITE to the status register
instruction is written, the AK6510C/12C doesn’t accept the instruction. When the WP pin changes
low level while the internal programming, the programming function continues.
When the WPEN bit is "0", WP pin function is disabled. Even if WP pin is fixed to low level, the
WRITE function to the status register can be done. When the WP pin is high level, AK6510C/12C
can accept all of READ and WRITE functions.

Pin Description
CS (Chip Select Input)
When CS changes high level to low level, the AK6510C/12C can receive the instructions.
CS should be kept low level while receiving op-code, address and data, and while outputting
data.
When CS is high level, SO indicate Hi-Z.
SCK (Serial Clock Input)
The SCK clock pin is the synchronous clock input for input/output data.
SI (Serial Data Input)
The op-code, address, and data are written to the SI pin.
SO (Serial Data Output)
The SO pin outputs the data from memory array and status register.
WP (Write Protect Input)
The WP pin controls the write function to the status register.
When the WPEN bit in the status register is "0", the function of WP pin becomes disable.
Then the status register can be programmable when the WEN bit in the status register is "1".
And it does not depend on the status of WP pin.
When the WPEN bit is "1", the function of WP is enabled. Then the status register can not
be programmable when the WEN bit is "1" and the status of WP pin is low.
When the WPEN bit is "1", WP pin is high and WEN bit is "1", AK6510C/12C can accept the
WRITE instruction to the status registers.
During the instruction input, WP pin should keep high or low level.
HOLD (Hold Input)
The HOLD pin can hold the data transfer. When the HOLD pin changes hi to low while the
SCK is low, the data transfer is held. And the transfer starts when the HOLD pin changes
low to high while the SCK is low. While the holding the data transfer, AK6510C/12C ignores
the clock signal on SCK pin.

WRSR (WRITE STATUS REGISTER)
The WRSR instruction can set the Write Protect Block size of the memory array.
AK6510C/12C has 4 Blocks of memory arrays. Write Protect Block size can be selected from 1/4,
1/2 and whole memory array. The block, which is set by Write Protect, is Read only.
BP0 bit, BP1 bit, and WPEN bit are programmable with EEPROM memory cell bits. The
characteristics of those bits (WREN, tE/W, RDSR) are same as the EEPROM memory array.
WP pin function can be set by WPEN (WRITE PROTECT ENABLE) bit which is defined by WRSR
function. When WP pin is low level and WPEN bit is "1", the WRITE function to Status register,
which has WPEN bit and BP0/BP1 bit, and to Write Disable Block is not performed. Then WRITE
function is performed only to the Write enable block.
When WP pin is "1" or WPEN bit is "0", then the function of WP pin is disabled and WRITE function
to the Status Register is performed.
WREN function should be done before WRSR function. And after the Programming function,
AK6510C/12C becomes Write Disable status automatically.

WRITE (WRITE SEQUENCE)
WRITE instruction can start the WRITE function to the memory cell array.
After CS pin changes high to low, op-code, address and data are input from SI pin. After the
instruction input, the internal programming cycle starts when CS pin changes low to high. After the
instructions are inputted, CS pin should change low to high after the last data bit (D0) inputs and
before next SCK clock rises. Write function can start only at this timing.
AK6510C/12C can indicate the BUSY status by using RDSR instruction and READ the RDY bit
(Bit0) in the status register. RDY is "1" indicates AK6510C/12C is in the programming cycle, and
RDY is "0" indicates AK6510C/12C is in the READY status. AK6510C/12C outputs the "FF" when
RDSR instruction executes during the programming cycle. Only RDSR instruction can be accepted
during programming cycle.
AK6510C/12C has Page Write mode, which can write the data within 32 bytes with one
programming cycle. The input data sent to the shift register within 32 bytes. If the number of
bytes exceeded 32, the address counter rolls over to the first address of the page.
Internal programming cycle starts after CS pin changes low to high.
After WRITE instruction, AK6510C/12C changes to Write Disable status automatically.
AK6510C/12C needs WREN instruction before every WRITE instruction. When WRITE instruction
is done while AK6510C/12C is in Write Disable status, WRITE instructions are ignored and
AK6510C/12C becomes standby status after CS changes to high. AK6510C/12C can accept the
next instruction after CS becomes low.
WRITE instruction cannot write the data into the address of the protected block.

After CS changes high to low, the op-code and address are sent on SI pin and the data (D7-D0)
read from SO pin.
After 1 byte of data output, internal address register is incremented, and the next byte of data is
outputted. After READ the data in the highest address, the address register rolls over to the lowest
