DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT93C46 is a 1024-bit nonvolatile memory intended for use with industry standard microprocessors.
The CAT93C46 can be organized as either registers of
16 bits or 8 bits. When organized as X16, seven 9-bit
instructions control the reading, writing and erase operations of the device. When organized as X8, seven 10-bit
instructions control the reading, writing and erase
operations of the device. The CAT93C46 operates on
a single power supply and will generate on chip the high
voltage required during any write operation.
flag can be disabled only in Ready state; no change is
allowed in Busy state.
The format for all instructions sent to the device is a
logical "1" start bit, a 2-bit (or 4-bit) opcode, 6-bit address
(an additional bit when organized X8) and for write
operations a 16-bit data field (8-bit for X8 organization).
Read
Upon receiving a READ command and an address
(clocked into the DI pin), the DO pin of the CAT93C46 will
come out of the high impedance state and, after sending
an initial dummy zero bit, will begin shifting out the data
addressed (MSB first). The output data bits will toggle on
the rising edge of the SK clock and are stable after the
specified time delay (tPD0 or tPD1).
Instructions, addresses, and write data are clocked into
the DI pin on the rising edge of the clock (SK). The DO
pin is normally in a high impedance state except when
reading data from the device, or when checking the
ready/busy status during a write operation.
The ready/busy status can be determined after the start
of internal write cycle by selecting the device (CS high)
and polling the DO pin; DO low indicates that the write
operation is not completed, while DO high indicates that
the device is ready for the next instruction. If necessary,
the DO pin may be placed back into a high impedance
state during chip select by shifting a dummy “1” into the
DI pin. The DO pin will enter the high impedance state on
the rising edge of the clock (SK). Placing the DO pin
into the high impedance state is recommended in applications where the DI pin and the DO pin are to be tied
together to form a common DI/O pin. The Ready/Busy
Erase/Write Enable and Disable
The CAT93C46 powers up in the write disable state. Any
writing after power-up or after an EWDS (write disable)
instruction must first be preceded by the EWEN (write
enable) instruction. Once the write instruction is enabled,
it will remain enabled until power to the device is removed,
or the EWDS instruction is sent. The EWDS instruction
can be used to disable all CAT93C46 write and erase
instructions, and will prevent any accidental writing or
clearing of the device. Data can be read normally from
the device regardless of the write enable/disable status.

CAT93C46
Write
Erase All
After receiving a WRITE command, address and the
data, the CS (Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a
minimum of tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the
self clocking for auto-clear and data store cycles on the
memory location specified in the instruction. The clocking
of the SK pin is not necessary after the device has
entered the self clocking mode. The ready/busy status of
the CAT93C46 can be determined by selecting the
device and polling the DO pin. Since this device features
Auto-Clear before write, it is NOT necessary to erase a
memory location before it is written into.
Upon receiving an ERAL command, the CS (Chip Select)
pin must be deselected for a minimum of tCSMIN. The
falling edge of CS will start the self clocking clear cycle
of all memory locations in the device. The clocking of the
SK pin is not necessary after the device has entered the
self clocking mode. The ready/busy status of the
CAT93C46 can be determined by selecting the device
and polling the DO pin. Once cleared, the contents of all
memory bits return to a logical “1” state.
Erase
Upon receiving a WRAL command and data, the CS
(Chip Select) pin must be deselected for a minimum of
tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the self clocking
data write to all memory locations in the device. The
clocking of the SK pin is not necessary after the device
has entered the self clocking mode. The ready/busy
status of the CAT93C46 can be determined by selecting
the device and polling the DO pin. It is not necessary for
all memory locations to be cleared before the WRAL
command is executed.
Write All
Upon receiving an ERASE command and address, the
CS (Chip Select) pin must be deasserted for a minimum
of tCSMIN. The falling edge of CS will start the self clocking
clear cycle of the selected memory location. The clocking
of the SK pin is not necessary after the device has
entered the self clocking mode. The ready/busy status of
the CAT93C46 can be determined by selecting the
device and polling the DO pin. Once cleared, the content
of a cleared location returns to a logical “1” state.
