DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C64 is a 64K-Bit SPI Serial CMOS EEPROM
internally organized as 8Kx8 bits. Catalyst’s advanced
CMOS Technology substantially reduces device power
requirements. The CAT25C64 features a 64-byte page
write buffer. The device operates via the SPI bus serial
interface and is enabled though a Chip Select (CS). In
addition to the Chip Select, the clock input (SCK), data
in (SI) and data out (SO) are required to access the
device. The
HOLD
pin may be used to suspend any
serial communication without resetting the serial se-
quence. The CAT25C64 is designed with software and
hardware write protection features including Block write
protection. The device is available in 8-pin DIP and
SOIC packages.

CAT25C64
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C64 supports the SPI bus data transmission
protocol. The synchronous Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) helps the CAT25C64 to interface directly with
many of today’s popular microcontrollers. The CAT25C64
contains an 8-bit instruction register. (The instruction
set and the operation codes are detailed in the instruction
set table)
After the device is selected with
CS
going low, the first
byte will be received. The part is accessed via the SI pin,
with data being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK.
The first byte contains one of the six op-codes that define
the operation to be performed.

PIN DESCRIPTION
SI: Serial Input
SI is the serial data input pin. This pin is used to input all
opcodes, byte addresses, and data to be written to the
25C64. Input data is latched on the rising edge of the
serial clock.
SO: Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the 25C64. During a read cycle, data
is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock.
SCK: Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchronize

CAT25C64
the communication between the microcontroller and the
25C64. Opcodes, byte addresses, or data present on
the SI pin are latched on the rising edge of the SCK. Data
on the SO pin is updated on the falling edge of the SCK.
CS:
CS
Chip Select
CS
is the Chip select pin.
CS
low enables the CAT25C64
and
CS
high disables the CAT25C64.
CS
high takes the
SO output pin to high impedance and forces the devices
into a Standby Mode (unless an internal write operation
is underway). The CAT25C64 draws ZERO current in
the Standby mode. A high to low transition on
CS
is
required prior to any sequence being initiated. A low to
high transition on
CS
after a valid write sequence is what
initiates an internal write cycle.
WP:
WP
Write Protect
WP
is the Write Protect pin. The Write Protect pin will
allow normal read/write operations when held high.
When
WP
is tied low and the WPEN bit in the status
register is set to “1”, all write operations to the status
register are inhibited.
WP
going low while
CS
is still low
will interrupt a write 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 is set to 0.
HOLD:
HOLD
Hold
The
HOLD
pin is used to pause transmission to the
CAT25C64 while in the middle of a serial sequence
without having to re-transmit entire sequence at a later
time. To pause,
HOLD
must be brought low while SCK
is low. The SO pin is in a high impedance state during the
time the part is paused, and transitions on the SI pins will
be ignored. To resume communication,
HOLD
is brought
high, while SCK is low.
(HOLD
should be held high any
time this function is not being used.)
HOLD
may be tied
high directly to V
cc
or tied to V
cc
through a resistor.
