Description

DATA
I/O
Three-state data output for configuration. Open-collector bi-directional pin for programming.
4
DCLK
I/O
Clock output or clock input. Rising edges on DCLK increment the internal address counter and present the
next bit of data to the DATA pin. The counter is incremented only if the OE input is held High, the nCS input
is held Low, and all configuration data has not been transferred to the target device (otherwise, as the
master device, the DCLK pin drives Low).
5
WP1
I
WRITE PROTECT (1). Used to protect portions of memory during programming. Disabled by default due
to internal pull-down resistor. This input pin is not used during FPGA loading operations. See
programming specifications for details.
8
OE
I
Output enable (active High) and reset (active Low) when SER_EN is High. A Low logic level resets the
address counter. A High logic level (with nCS Low) enables DATA and permits the address counter to
count. In the mode, if this pin is Low (reset), the internal oscillator becomes inactive and DCLK drives Low.
The logic polarity of this input is programmable and must be programmed active High (RESET active Low)
by the user during programming for Altera applications.
9
nCS
I
Chip select input (active Low). A Low input (with OE High) allows DCLK to increment the address counter
and enables DATA to drive out. If the AT17A Series is reset with nCS Low, the device initializes as the first
(and master) device in a daisy-chain. If the AT17A Series is reset with nCS High, the device initializes as a
subsequent AT17A Series device in the chain.
10
GND
Ground pin. A 0.2
μF decoupling capacitor should be placed between the VCC and GND pins.
12
nCASC
O
Cascade select output (active Low). This output goes Low when the address counter has reached its
maximum value. In a daisy-chain of AT17A Series devices, the nCASC pin of one device is usually
connected to the nCS input pin of the next device in the chain, which permits DCLK from the master
Configurator to clock data from a subsequent AT17A Series device in the chain.
A2
I
Device selection input, A2. This is used to enable (or select) the device during programming, (i.e., when
SER_EN is Low; please refer to the “Programming Specification” application note for more details).
15
READY
O
Open collector reset state indicator. Driven Low during power-up reset, released (tri-stated) when
power-up is complete. (Recommend a 4.7 k
pull-up on this pin if used).
18
SER_EN
I
Serial enable must be held High during FPGA loading operations. Bringing SER_EN Low, enables the
2-wire serial programming mode.
