WRITE

The WRITE instruction is followed by 8-bits (93C56A)

16-bits (93C56B) of data which are written into the

specified address. After the last data bit is clocked into

the DI pin, the self-timed auto-erase and programming

cycle begins.

The DO pin indicates the READY/BUSY status of the

device, if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns

DO at logical “0” indicates that programming is still in

progress. DO at logical “1” indicates that the register at

the specified address has been written with the data

specified and the device is ready for another instruc-

tion.

3.9

Write All (WRAL)

The Write All (WRAL) instruction will write the entire

memory array with the data specified in the command.

The WRAL cycle is completely self-timed and com-

mences at the rising clock edge of the last data bit.

Clocking of the CLK pin is not necessary after the

device has entered the WRAL cycle. The WRAL com-

mand does include an automatic ERAL cycle for the

device. Therefore, the WRAL instruction does not

require an ERAL instruction but the chip must be in the

EWEN status.

The DO pin indicates the READY/BUSY status of the

device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
