Description
The AT93C56A/66A provides 2048/4096 bits of serial electrically-erasable program-
mable read-only memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM is organized as 128/256 words of
16 bits each when the ORG pin is connected to VCC and 256/512 words of 8 bits each
when it is tied to ground. The device is optimized for use in many automotive applica-
tions where low-power and low-voltage operations are essential. The AT93C56A/66A
is available in space-saving 8-lead PDIP, 8-lead JEDEC SOIC, and 8-lead TSSOP
packages.
The AT93C56A/66A is enabled through the Chip Select (CS) pin and accessed via a
three-wire serial interface consisting of Data Input (DI), Data Output (DO), and Shift
Clock (SK). Upon receiving a Read instruction at DI, the address is decoded and the
data is clocked out serially on the data output pin DO. The write cycle is completely
self-timed and no separate erase cycle is required before write. The write cycle is only
enabled when the part is in the Erase/Write Enable state. When CS is brought high
following the initiation of a write cycle, the DO pin outputs the Ready/Busy status of
the part.
The AT93C56A/66A is available in 2.7V to 5.5V versions.

Note:
When the ORG pin is connected to VCC, the “x 16” organization is selected. When it is connected to ground, the “x 8” organiza-
tion is selected. If the ORG pin is left unconnected and the application does not load the input beyond the capability of the
internal 1 Meg ohm pullup, then the “x 16” organization is selected.

AT93C56A/66A [Preliminary]
Functional Description
The AT93C56A/66A is accessed via a simple and versatile three-wire serial communi-
cation interface. Device operation is controlled by seven instructions issued by the host
processor.
A valid instruction starts with a rising edge of CS
and consists of a start bit
(logic “1”) followed by the appropriate op code and the desired memory address
location.

The X’s in the address field represent
don’t care
values and must be clocked.
READ (READ):
The Read (READ) instruction contains the address code for the mem-
ory location to be read. After the instruction and address are decoded, data from the
selected memory location is available at the serial output pin DO. Output data changes
are synchronized with the rising edges of serial clock SK. It should be noted that a
dummy bit (logic “0”) precedes the 8- or 16-bit data output string. The AT93C56A/66A
supports sequential read operations. The device will automatically increment the inter-
nal address pointer and clock out the next memory location as long as Chip Select (CS)
is held high. In this case, the dummy bit (logic “0”) will not be clocked out between mem-
ory locations, thus allowing for a continuous stream of data to be read.
ERASE/WRITE ENABLE (EWEN):
To assure data integrity, the part automatically goes
into the Erase/Write Disable (EWDS) state when power is first applied. An Erase/Write
Enable (EWEN) instruction must be executed first before any programming instructions
can be carried out. Please note that once in the EWEN state, programming remains
enabled until an EWDS instruction is executed or V
CC
power is removed from the part.
ERASE (ERASE):
The Erase (ERASE) instruction programs all bits in the specified
memory location to the logical “1” state. The self-timed erase cycle starts once the
Erase instruction and address are decoded. The DO pin outputs the Ready/Busy status
of the part if CS is brought high after being kept low for a minimum of 250 ns (t
CS
). A
logic “1” at pin DO indicates that the selected memory location has been erased, and the
part is ready for another instruction.
