FN8106.2
5V, Byte Alterable EEPROM
The X28C512, X28C513 are 64K x 8 EEPROM, fabricated
with Intersil’s proprietary, high performance, floating gate
CMOS technology. Like all Intersil programmable nonvolatile
memories, the X28C512, X28C513 are 5V only devices. The
X28C512, X28C513 feature the JEDEC approved pin out for
byte wide memories, compatible with industry standard
EPROMS.
The X28C512, X28C513 support a 128-byte page write
operation, effectively providing a 39µs/byte write cycle and
enabling the entire memory to be written in less than 2.5
seconds. The X28C512, X28C513 also feature DATA Polling
and Toggle Bit Polling, system software support schemes
used to indicate the early completion of a write cycle. In
addition, the X28C512, X28C513 support the software data
protection option.

Device Operation
Read
Read operations are initiated by both OE and CE LOW. The
read operation is terminated by either CE or OE returning
HIGH. This two line control architecture eliminates bus
contention in a system environment. The data bus will be in
a high impedance state when either OE or CE is HIGH.
DATA Polling (I/O
7
)
The X28C512, X28C513 feature DATA polling as a method
to indicate to the host system that the byte write or page
write cycle has completed. DATA Polling allows a simple bit
test operation to determine the status of the X28C512,
X28C513, eliminating additional interrupt inputs or external
hardware. During the internal programming cycle, any
attempt to read the last byte written will produce the
complement of that data on I/O
7
(i.e. write data = 0xxx xxxx,
read data = 1xxx xxxx). Once the programming cycle is
complete, I/O
7
will reflect true data.
Write
Write operations are initiated when both CE and WE are
LOW and OE is HIGH. The X28C512, X28C513 support
both a CE and WE controlled write cycle. That is, the
address is latched by the falling edge of either CE or WE,
whichever occurs last. Similarly, the data is latched internally
by the rising edge of either CE or WE, whichever occurs first.
A byte write operation, once initiated, will automatically
continue to completion, typically within 5ms.
Toggle Bit (I/O
6
)
The X28C512, X28C513 also provide another method for
determining when the internal write cycle is complete. During
the internal programming cycle, I/O
6
will toggle from HIGH to
LOW and LOW to HIGH on subsequent attempts to read the
device. When the internal cycle is complete, the toggling will
cease, and the device will be accessible for additional read
or write operations.
Page Write Operation
The page write feature of the X28C512, X28C513 allows the
entire memory to be written in 2.5 seconds. Page write
allows two to one hundred twenty-eight bytes of data to be
consecutively written to the X28C512, X28C513, prior to the
commencement of the internal programming cycle. The host
can fetch data from another device within the system during
a page write operation (change the source address), but the
page address (A
7
through A
15
) for each subsequent valid
write cycle to the part during this operation must be the same
as the initial page address.
The page write mode can be initiated during any write
operation. Following the initial byte write cycle, the host can
write an additional one to one hundred twenty-seven bytes in
the same manner as the first byte was written. Each
successive byte load cycle, started by the WE HIGH to LOW
transition, must begin within 100µs of the falling edge of the
preceding WE. If a subsequent WE HIGH to LOW transition
is not detected within 100µs, the internal automatic
programming cycle will commence. There is no page write
window limitation. Effectively, the page write window is
infinitely wide, so long as the host continues to access the
device within the byte load cycle time of 100µs.
Write Operation Status Bits
The X28C512, X28C513 provide the user two write
operation status bits. These can be used to optimize a
system write cycle time. The status bits are mapped onto the
I/O bus as shown in Figure 1.
