DESCRIPTION
The CAT93C46R is a 1-Kb CMOS Serial EEPROM
device which is organized as either 64 registers of
16 bits or 128 registers of 8 bits, as determined by the
state of the ORG pin. The CAT93C46R features
sequential read and self-timed internal write with auto-
clear. On-chip Power-On Reset circuitry protects the
internal logic against powering up in the wrong state.
In contrast to the CAT93C46, the CAT93C46R features
an internal instruction clock counter which provides
improved noise immunity for Write/Erase commands.

Note:
(1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions outside of those listed in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating for extended periods may affect device performance and reliability.
(2) The DC input voltage on any pin should not be lower than -0.5V or higher than V
CC
+0.5V. During transitions, the voltage on any pin may
undershoot to no less than -1.5V or overshoot to no more than V
CC
+1.5V, for periods of less than 20 ns.

DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT93C46R is a 1024-bit nonvolatile memory
intended for use with industry standard microproces-
sors. The CAT93C46R 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 CAT93C46R oper-
ates on a single power supply and will generate on chip
the high voltage required during any write operation.
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 after a write operation.
The ready/busy status can be determined after the start
of a write operation 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 applica-
tions where the DI pin and the DO pin are to be tied
together to form a common DI/O pin. The Ready/Busy
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 CAT93C46R
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 (t
PD0
or t
PD1
).
Sequential Read
After the 1st data word has been shifted out and CS
remains asserted with the SK clock continuing to toggle,
the CAT93C46R will automatically increment to the next
address and shift out the next data word. As long as CS
is continuously asserted and SK continues to toggle, the
device will keep incrementing to the next address
automatically until it reaches the end of the address
space, then loops back to address 0. In the sequential
Read mode, only the initial data word is preceeded by a
dummy zero bit; all subsequent data words will follow
without a dummy zero bit.
Erase/Write Enable and Disable
The CAT93C46R 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 CAT93C46R 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.
