DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C08/16 is a 8K/16K Bit SPI Serial CMOS
EEPROM internally organized as 1024x8/2048x8 bits.
Catalyst’s advanced CMOS Technology substantially
reduces device power requirements. The CAT25C08/
16 features a 32-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 sequence. The CAT25C08/16 is
designed with software and hardware write protection
features including Block Write protection. The device is
available in 8-pin DIP, 8-pin SOIC and 8-pin TSSOP
packages.

CAT25C08/16
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C08/16 supports the SPI bus data transmis-
sion protocol. The synchronous Serial Peripheral Inter-
face (SPI) helps the CAT25C08/16 to interface directly
with many of today’s popular microcontrollers. The
CAT25C08/16 contains an 8-bit instruction register.
(The instruction set and the operation codes are de-
tailed 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
25C08/16. Input data is latched on the rising edge of the
serial clock for SPI modes (0, 0 & 1, 1).
SO:
Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the 25C08/16. During a read cycle,
data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock
for SPI modes (0,0 & 1,1).
SCK:
Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchro-
nize the communication between the microcontroller

SCK. Data on the SO pin is updated on the falling edge
of the SCK for SPI modes (0,0 & 1,1) .

takes the SO output pin to high impedance and forces
the devices into a Standby Mode (unless an internal
write operation is underway) The CAT25C08/16 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.
