DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 is a 1K/2K/4K/8K/16K Bit
SPI Serial CMOS EEPROM internally organized as
128x8/256x8/512x8/1024x8/2048x8 bits. Catalyst’s
advanced CMOS Technology substantially reduces
device power requirements. The CAT25C01/02/04
features a 16-byte page write buffer. The 25C08/16
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 CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 is designed
with software and hardware write protection features
including Block Write protection. The device is available
in 8-pin DIP, 8-pin SOIC, 8-pin MSOP and 8/14-pin
TSSOP packages.

CAT25C01/02/04/08/16
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 supports the SPI bus data
transmission protocol. The synchronous Serial Periph-
eral Interface (SPI) helps the CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 to
interface directly with many of today’s popular
microcontrollers. The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 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
25C01/02/04/08/16. 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 25C01/02/04/08/16. 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

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
