PYA28C256 - 32K x 8 EEPROM
OPERATIOn
READ
Read operations are initiated by both
OE
and
CE
LOW.
The read operation is terminated by either
CE
or
OE
re-
turning HIGH. This two line control architecture elimi-
nates bus contention in a system environment. The data
bus will be in a high impedance state when either
OE
or
CE
is HIGH.
BYTE WRITE
Write operations are initiated when both
CE
and
WE
are
LOW and
OE
is HIGH. The PYA28C256 supports 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 con-
tinue to completion.
PAgE WRITE
The page write feature of the PYA28C256 allows 1 to
64 bytes of data to be consecutively written to the PY-
A28C256 during a single 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
6
through A
14
) for each
subsequent valid write cycle to the part during this opera-
tion must be the same as the initial page address. The
bytes within the page to be written are specified with the
A
0
through A
5
inputs.
The page write mode can be initiated during any write
operation. Following the initial byte write cycle, the host
can write an additional 1 to 63 bytes in the same man-
ner as the first byte was written. Each successive byte
load cycle, started by the
WE
HIGH to LOW transition,
must begin within 150µs of the falling edge of the pre-
ceding
WE.
If a subsequent
WE
HIGH to LOW transition
is not detected within 150µs, the internal automatic pro-
gramming 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 150µs.
WRITE STATUS BITS
The PYA28C256 provides 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 below.
DATA POLLIng
The PYA28C256 features
DATA
Polling as a method to in-
dicate 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 PYA28C256,
eliminating additional interrupts or external hardware. Dur-
ing 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. Note: If the PYA28C256 is in the pro-
tected state and an illegal write operation is attempted,
DATA
Polling will not operate.
TOggLE BIT
The PYA28C256 also provides another method for deter-
mining 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
addtional read or write operations.
DATA PROTECTIOn
Pyramid has incorporated both hardware and software
features that will protect the memory against inadvertent
writes during transitions of the host system power sup-
ply.
Hardware Protection
Hardware features protect against inadvertent writes to
the PYA28C256 in the following ways: (a) VCC sense - if
VCC is below 3.8V (typical) the write function is inhibited;
(b) VCC power-on delay - once VCC has reached 3.8V
the device will automatically time out 5 ms (typical) before
allowing a write; (c) write inhibit - holding any one of OE
low, CE high or WE high inhibits write cycles; and (d)
noise filter - pulses of less than 15 ns (typical) on the WE
or CE inputs will not initiate a write cycle.
Software Data Protection
A software controlled data protection feature has been
implemented on the PYA28C256. When enabled, the
software data protection (SDP), will prevent inadvertent
writes. The SDP feature may be enabled or disabled by
the user; the PYA28C256 is shipped from Pyramid with
SDP disabled.
SDP is enabled by the host system issuing a series of
three write commands; three specific bytes of data are
written to the three specific addresses (refer to "Software
Data Protection" algorithm). After writing the 3-byte com-
mand sequence and after tWC the entire PYA28C256
will be protected against inadvertent write operations. It
should be noted, that once protected the host may still
perform a byte or page write to the PYA28C256. This
is done by preceding the data to be written by the same
Document #

REV 03
Page 2
PYA28C256 - 32K x 8 EEPROM
3-byte command sequence used to enable SDP.
Once set, SDP will remain active unless the disable com-
mand sequence is issued. Power transitions do not dis-
able SDP and SDP will protect the PYA28C256 during
power-up and power-down conditions. All command se-
quences must conform to the page write timing specifi-
cations. The data in the enable and disable command
sequences is not written to the device and the memory
addresses used in the sequence may be written with data
in either a byte or page write operation.
After setting SDP, any attempt to write to the device with-
out the 3-byte command sequence will start the internal
write timers. No data will be written to the device; howev-
er, for the duration of tWC, read operations will effectively
be polling operations.
DEVICE IDEnTIFICATIOn
An extra 64 bytes of EEPROM memory are available to
the user for device identification. By raising A9 to 12V
± 0.5V and using address locations 7FC0H to 7FFFH
the additional bytes may be written to or read from in the
same manner as the regular memory array.
OPTIOnAL CHIP ERASE MODE
The entire device can be erased using a 6-byte software
code. Please see "Software Chip Erase" application note
at the end of this datasheet for details.

3. Transient inputs with V
IL
and I
IL
