S-29255A/29355A
2
The S-29255A (2K-bit) and S-29355A (4K-bit) are E PROMs characterized by a wide operating voltage range and low power consumption. The organization is 128-wordx16-bit and 256-wordx16bit, respectively. They are easily interfaced with a serial port because the instruction is composed of eight-bit units. Also, through the RESET pin, erroneous writing at power on/off can be avoided.

Operation
For each instraction, input op code, address and data per Table 1. After CS goes from "H" to "L", DI is latched, synchronized with the rise of SK. After the entire data is latched, the instructions input can be completed by changing CS to "H". Even after changing CS to low, instructions can not be latched by inputting a pulse to SK while DI remains low. NOTE: Between instructions, CS must be "H" during tCDS.
1. Read mode (READ) The READ instruction reads data from the specified address. Through the READ instruction, the op code and address are latched, synchronized with the rise of SK. At the falling edge of the 16th SK clock cycle from the start bit, (and all of the addresses are input), DO changes from high impedance (Hi-Z) status to data output status, and data is output, synchronized with the fall of SK.

* "L" for S-29255A.
2. Write mode (PROGRAM, WRAL, and ERAL) There are three write instructions, PROGRAM, WRAL, and ERAL. Each write instruction automatically starts the write operation to nonvolatile memory after completing the specified clock input. The write operation is completed in 10 ms (tPR max.) , and the average write period is 4 to 5 ms. The S-29255A/29355A offer the following two methods to check the completion of the write operation to choose the shortest writing cycle. * By reading the status of the RDY/BUSY output pin While the write operation is continued, low level is output. And when the write operation is completed, high level is output. * By reading the status output signal After inputting a write instruction, a status output instruction must be performed (for the status output instruction, refer to "4. Status output") . NOTE: * After starting the write operation, CS need not be "H". * During the write operation, no instruction can be accepted except for status output. When using SK or DI during the write operation, the SK and DI signals should not be a status output instruction, or, CS must be "H". * The write operation can be performed when the RESET pin is at "L". After RESET is "H", even during write operation, the write operation is terminated, and data is unstable. Therefore, when writing is not performed, fix the RESET pin at "H" to inhibit all write operation and to avoid erroneous writing. * When the status output instruction is input after the write instruction, CS need not be "H".

3. Program enable (EWEN) and program disable (EWDS) modes EWEN enables the write operation, and EWDS disables the write operation. The status to enable the write operation is called the program enable mode, and the status to disable the write operation is called the program disable mode. The S29255A/29355A is in program disable mode when the power is turned on. To prevent unexpected erroneous writing because of noise and CPU runaway, the S-29255A/29355A should be in program disable mode when writing is not performed.

4. Status output The status output instruction outputs several kinds of IC inside status (ready/busy, write inhibit/permit, and ECC set). Through the status output instruction, the op code and flag set code are latched, synchronized with the rise of SK. At the falling edge of 16th clock cycle from the start bit, DO is changed from high impedance (Hi-Z) status to data output status, and the data that shows the IC inside status is output synchronized with the fall of SK. The data is retained until CS goes to "H". NOTE : Even if the SK and DI inputs are changed when outputting data, the output data is not changed.

For maintaining compatibility with M6M80021/41, "L" is always output. Redundant memory is not included.
5. Reset operation After RESET goes to "H" during the write operation, the write operation is terminated. At that time, only READ, EWEN, EWDS, and the status output instruction can be performed. Although RESET can be connected with CS, RESET must be fixed at "L" during writing. If RESET goes to "H" during writing, for 0.1 ms from the rise of RESET, no instruction except for status output can be accepted.

Three-wire Interface * DI-DO direct connecting
Although usually, a four-wire interface with CS, SK, DI, and DO is used for configuring a serial interface, a three-wire interface can be also used for configuring a serial interface by connecting DI and DO. However, since the three-wire system has a possibility that the data output from the serial memory IC interferes with the data output from the CPU, install a resistor between DI and DO (See Figure 11) to give preference to data output from CPU into DI.

Collection of Product FAQs
Author: Ebisawa Takashi A: Index: Division name: 01 IC Category 1: Category 2: Cal No.: Related documents: 12 Memory 2. Serial EEPROM Overall Public (Printing O.K.) C: quality, reliability Date: 99/01/13 (Wednesday) 18:19 (modified: 99/01/14)
Question:
What about the reliability and quality of the EEPROM?
Answer:
1. The EEPROM must have a quality that is "special in a sense" and that differs from that of the other ICs. (1) Number of possible rewrites: 105 or 106 A specified minimum number of data rewrites must be assured. (2) Data retention: 10 years It must be ensured that written data (`1' and `0') will be stored for at least 10 years. Ensuring (1) and (2) is very difficult in a technical sense, as well as in the sense that high quality must be maintained despite the need for mass production. 2. Why this guarantee is technically difficult As shown in the figure below, the EEPROM functions as a non-volatile memory by holding charges in FG.

[Data rewrite] Data rewrite refers to the injection or removal of electrons into or from the FG. In this process, electrons pass through a thin oxide film (UTO). The oxide film inherently acts as an insulator, but in this case the film conducts electricity (electrons are transferred). [Data retention] Data retention refers to the prevention of leakage of electrons stored in the FG. This must be assured for at least 10 years. To meet the above stated contradictory properties, high-quality thin oxide films (UTO) must be manufactured. Such UTOs are very thin (on the order of 10 nm), and stably manufacturing them requires a very difficult technique. FAQ No.: 12022

Question:
What about the distribution of application notes, usage notes, and malfunctions?
Answer:
Distribution of application notes All EEPROMS, including ours, may malfunction (false-writes may occur) due to an "operation in a lowvoltage region upon power-on/off" or "improper recognition of a command due to a noise signal." This defect is particularly common in the voltage region of the microcomputer transmitting commands to the EEPROM, where the voltage is lower than the lowest operating voltage of the microcomputer. To prevent this defect, usage notes have been prepared for the EEPROM. S-93C series, S29 series S-24CxxA series S-24CxxB series

Question:
What are some applications of the serial EEPROM?
Answer:
1. Applications of the EEPROM The applications of the EEPROM can be roughly divided into the following types: Tuning memory, mode setting, ID codes: Arbitrary data can easily be rewritten and data can be retained during power-off. Replacement of a DIP switch (from a mechanical to an electronic switch): User costs are substantially reduced. Adjustment data for IC elements and other electronics: The accuracy of final products is increased. Adjustments, which had been performed manually, can be automated.
2. Specific examples of applications Based on the above applications, general examples are shown below. Basically, the EEPROM (a non-volatile memory) is useful for electronic applications.

Question:
What about the basic terms (verify, ready/busy function)?
Answer:
Verify, ready/busy (R/B) function This is a function to find out about an actual write operation (time). There are two methods, a "monitoring method based on the output condition of the DO pin" and a "method for monitoring the output condition of the Ready/Busy pin." This function eliminates the need to wait 10 ms for writing to be completed, thereby minimizing the write time according to the performance of the IC (performance value: 4 ms to 5 ms; 1 ms is ensured for the S-24C series).

Question:
What about the basic term (page write)?
Answer:
Page write S-24C series Writing to memory is normally executed in addresses. With the page write function, however, writing can be executed in pages (multiple addresses). This function can improve the efficiency of write commands and reduce writing time. Ex.:S-24C04B (4 K = 512 addresses x 8 bits) 16-byte page write function Writing in addresses: A write time of 10 msec. x 512 = 5.1 sec. is required. Page write: 10 msec. x 512 / 16 = 320 msec. However, compatibility with products from other companies must be confirmed. FAQ No.: 12017

Question:
What about the basic terms (Test pin, ORG pin)
Answer:
TEST pin This is an input pin used to enter a test mode when tests are conducted during an SII inspection process. This information is not provided to users. It can be used with a GND or Vcc connection, or in an open state (see note). This is important in maintaining compatibility with the pin layouts of other companies. Some users fear that the test mode may be inadvertently entered during operation, but such fears are unnecessary, as a potential of at least 10 V must be constantly supplied to enter the test mode. (Note) Since the TEST pin has a C-MOS input structure, the GND or Vcc connection is most suited for this pin. ORG (Organization) pin Input pin used to specify a memory configuration. A normal memory has a "16 bit/1 address" data configuration and includes no ORG pin. Competing manufacturers, however, have released products that enable data to be switched between "x16" and "x8" using "H" or "L" of the ORG pin. Since this function is provided for the 93C series of the NS code, there is a compatibility problem. SII has not yet released products featuring this function. FAQ No.: 12014

Question:
Malfunction (false-write, illegal data)
Answer:
[Malfunction of the EEPROM] (key words: false-store(illegal data) The EEPROM may malfunction (false-store) due to power-on/off or noise from the microcomputer. The defect rate, however, is on the order of ppm. Even though, this could be a serious problem for the users and to the applications. This problem essentially results from users' design techniques, but the manufacturer should make efforts to prevent this defect. As the unit price continuously decreases, this is particularly important in discriminating us from our competitors. Improving the business techniques of the manufacturer Malfunction basically results from a user's inappropriate operation, so the user is the responsible party. We, however, must bear responsibility for defects in the IC. Thus, the best action to take depends on whether the user or SII is responsible for the defect. In practice, however, it is difficult to determine from a user's claim or inquiry, or through an agent, who is responsible for a defect.

Question:
Power-on clear in S-93CxxA, S-29xxxA, notes for power-on (malfunction)
Answer:
1. This IC series has a built-in power-on clear circuit. This circuit instantly initializes the EEPROM when the power voltage is activated. Since malfunction may occur if initialization has not been completed normally, the conditions specified below are required to activate the power voltage in order to operate the power-on clear circuit normally. 2. Notes on power-on
Method for activating the power voltage As shown in Fig. 1, activate the power voltage starting from a maximum of 0.2 V so that the power voltage reaches the operating value within the time specified as tRISE. If the operating power voltage is, for example, 5.0 V, tRISE = 200 ms, as shown in Fig. 2. Thus, the power voltage must be activated within 200 ms.

When the power-on clear circuit has finished initialization normally, the EEPROM enters a programdisabled state. If the power-on clear circuit does not operate, the following situation is likely: In some cases, a previously entered command has been enabled. If, for example, a programenabled command has been enabled and the input terminal mistakenly recognizes a write command due to extraneous noise while the next command is being entered, writing may be executed.
The following may prevent the power-on clear circuit from operating: If the power lines of the microcomputer and EEPROM are separated from each other, and the output terminals of the microcomputer and EEPROM are wired or connected to each other, there may be a potential difference between the power lines of the EEPROM and microcomputer. If the voltage of the microcomputer is higher, a current may flow from the output terminal of the microcomputer to the power line of the EEPROM via a parasitic diode in the DO pin of the EEPROM. Therefore, the power voltage of the EEPROM has an intermediate potential to prevent power-on from being cleared. During an access to the EEPROM, the voltage may decrease due to power-off. Even if the microcomputer has been reset due to a decrease in voltage, the EEPROM may malfunction if EEPROM power-on clear operation conditions are not met. For the EEPROM power-on clear operation conditions, see "Method for Activating the Power Voltage."

Question:
False-writes in S-93C, S-29 series: inadvertent activation of CS (malfunction)
Answer:
Inadvertent writing in the S-29 series In the S-29 series, when a CS input is inadvertently activated during a write command, undefined data may be written. Relevant timings are shown below. A command is composed of the following: "start bit + two command bits + address + (data)." The figure below shows the timings in which commands are set (In the figure, the portion denotes the rising edge of SK.) In the case of a write command, after a final address has been input and while 16-bit data is being input, undefined data is written when the CS input is changed from H to L.

In the case of a write command, if the number of clocks is smaller than the predetermined value, data is loaded so as to be changed from D15 to D0. When, for example, CS is shifted from H to L after three clocks, data, which would otherwise have been stored in D15 to D13, is stored in D2 to D0, while undefined data is stored on the upper side a storage state in which the internal logic has been changed to either H or L). In addition, if the number of clocks is greater than the predetermined value, the last 16 pieces of data are stored correctly. FAQ No.: 12008

Question:
What about the basic terms (memory protect, reset, CS)?
Answer:
Memory protect, reset S-29xx1A, S-29x94A, S-29x55A Function for prohibiting a write command from being executed in a certain region of the memory space. This function is enabled by controlling the protect or reset input pin (select/deselect protect). This reset prevents the microcomputer from running uncontrollably and also prevents false-writes caused by noise in order to protect data. Ex.: Storage of ID codes and product shipment adjustment data (Note) S-29xx1A and S-29x94A protect 50% of memory, starting with the leading address. CS, /CS (/CS: S-29x55A, S-29x94A) CS is an input pin used to select the execution of a command. It is selected using "H" and deselected using "L" (the reverse is true for /CS) /CS is useful on the interface of the microcomputer (L active is mainly used for the microcomputer). Malfunction, however, is likely to be caused by noise upon power-on if a command is executed at the GND level.

Question:
Concept of the compatibility, features, and markets of the S-29 series
Answer:
[Compatibility of the EEPROM] In terms of memory, most SII EEPROMs are compatible with our competitors' standard products in their operation codes. If another company's product is to be replaced by a corresponding SII product, the DC/AC specifications desired by the user must be carefully determined. The key words for the products are given below. Our competitor's 93C-series products are compatible with SII's S-29xx0A-series products, and our competitor's 24C-series products are compatible with SII's S-24C-series products. The key word for each company is given below.

The size can be reduced due to the reduced number of I/O terminals, and fewer wires are required for the substrate.
The package can be downsized and manufactured inexpensively.
2. 3-wire type, microwire, 4-wire type Composed of four pins, including three input pins CS, SK, and DI, and an output pin DO. Since DI and DO can be directly coupled together, the EEPROM can be virtually composed of three pins (the 4-wire type includes an additional Ready/Busy pin, but is still referred to as a "3-wire type"). NS code: The key word is "93Cx." Compatible with SII S-29xxOA. General code used by many competing companies. Mass produced and low in cost. GI code General Instrument Inc.'s original code. Its markets continue to dwindle. Mitsubishi code: The key word is "M6M8."Compatible with SII S-29x55A. Serial-port direct-coupling type in which commands and data are composed of x8 units. Intended for the TV and VTR markets and primarily sold as a set with Mitsubishi microcomputers. SII original code: S-29x9xA Serial-port direct-coupling type in which commands and data are composed of x8 units. Intended for technology-oriented users. 3. 2-wire type, IICBUS: The key word is "24C." Compatible with SII S-24CxxA. Composed of two pins: an input pin (SCL) and an I/O pin (SDA). Phillips Inc. owns a relevant patent. [Advantages] Fewer wires are required, and the microcomputer port can be shared with another IICBUS. TV set maker will be main market.

4. SPI: The key word is "25C." Not compatible with SII. Under development. Composed of four pins: three input pins CS, SCK, and SI, and an input pin SO. In the case of the EEPROM, the advantages are high speed (5 MHz at 5v) and a high capacity (128 Kbytes). FAQ No.: 12004

Answer:
[Terms required to understand EEPROM data sheets (1)] Basic commands Data read, READ Reads data from a specified address Data write, WRITE or PROGRAM Writes data to a specified address Data erase, ERASE Erases data at a specified address (all "1"'s) Chip write, WRAL Writes the same (word) data in all address spaces Chip erase, ERAL Erases data in all address spaces (all "1"'s) Program disable, EWDS or PDS Prohibits write operations (WRITE), and prevents false-writes caused by noise or uncontrollable running of the CPU Program enable, EWES or PEN Enables write operations (WRITE)
-
[Note] When the power to the EEPROM is turned on, the internal circuit of the IC is reset and the program disable mode is entered. Thus, following power-on, the program enable command must be entered in order to write data.

Question:
What about the basic terms. (continuous read, sequential read)?
Answer:
Continuous read, sequential read S-93C series, S-29 series, S-24C series Function by which data is read from a specified address using a read command, followed by the output of the next address. This is useful when there is a large amount of user data (ex.: ID codes).

Serial-port direct coupling, microcomputer interface, 8-bit command S-29x9xA, S-29x55A, S-2900A The serial port is a serial I/O port provided for a microcomputer. A device that can be easily and directly coupled to this port is referred to as a "serial-port direct-coupling type" or a "microcomputer interface."
1. The EEPROM is configured as follows for simple direct coupling:

Data is input at the rising edge of the SK input clock, and output at its falling edge. Commands and data are input and output in 8 bits.
2. A microcomputer with a serial port communicates in 8 bits (8 clocks). This configuration can substantially reduce the number of programs required for the microcomputer. The advantages are easy programming and a reduced ROM capacity.

Question:
What is the EEPROM?
Answer:
1. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory Why this memory is referred to as "read only" despite the fact that it enables data to be rewritten? The EEPROM requires a longer time for writing than a RAM, so it is used exclusively for reading. What is the "memory"? Elements storing data. Data is generally represented by the digits "0" and "1." What is the "ROM"? Read Only Memory Reference: RAM is Random Access read write Memory. FAQ No.: 12001
