Description (Continued)
The AT93C46/56/66 is enabled through the Chip Select pin (CS), and accessed via a
3-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 AT93C46/56/66 is available in 4.5V to 5.5V and 2.7V to 5.5V versions.
Block Diagram
Notes:
1. 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.
2. For the AT93C46, if x 16 organization is the mode of choice and Pin 6 (ORG) is left unconnected, Atmel recommends using
the AT93C46A device. For more details, see the AT93C46A datasheet.
