1 CS

Chip Select: Asserting the CS pin selects the device. When the CS pin is

deasserted, the device will be deselected and placed in standby mode and the

SO pin will be in a high impedance state. When the device is deselected, data

will not be accepted on the SI pin.

A high-to-low transition on the CS pin is required to start an operation and a

low-to-high transition is required to end an operation. When ending the

internally self-timed write cycle, the device will not enter the standby mode until

the completion of the operation.

Low Input

2 SO

Serial Data Output: The SO pin is used to shift data out from the device. Data

on the SO pin is always clocked out on the falling edge of SCK. The SO pin will

be in a high impedance state whenever the device is deselected (CS is

deasserted).

— Output

3WP

Write Protect: The Write Protect (WP) pin is used in conjunction with the block

protection bits of the Status Register (see Table 4-3 on page 10) to inhibit

writing to a portion of, or the entire memory array.

The WP pin can also be used in conjunction with the WPEN bit to prevent

inadvertent writing to the Status Register (see Table 4-4 on page 11). The

protection is invoked by driving the WP pin to a low state.

Low Input

4 GND Ground: The ground reference for the device power supply (VCC). GND should

be connected to the system ground. — Power

Serial Data Input: Instructions, addresses and data are latched by the

AT25M02 on the rising edge of the Serial Clock (SCK) line via the Serial Data

Input (SI) pin.

6 SCK

Serial Clock: The Serial Clock (SCK) pin is used to provide a clock to the

device and is used to synchronize the flow of data to and from the device.

Instructions, addresses and data present on SI pin are always latched in on the

rising edge of SCK, while output data on the SO pin is always clocked out on

the falling edge of SCK.

7 HOLD

Hold: When the device is selected and a serial sequence is underway, Hold can

be used to pause the serial communication with the master device without

resetting the serial sequence. To pause, the HOLD pin must be brought low

while the SCK pin is low. To resume serial communication, the HOLD pin is

brought high while the SCK pin is low (SCK may still toggle during Hold). Inputs

to the SI pin will be ignored and the SO pin will be in a high impedance state.

3. Device Operation

The AT25M02 is controlled by a set of instructions that are sent from a host controller, commonly referred to as

the SPI Master. The SPI Master communicates with the AT25M02 via the SPI bus which is comprised of four

signal lines: Chip Select (CS), Serial Clock (SCK), Serial Input (SI), and Serial Output (SO).

The SPI protocol defines a total of four modes of operation (mode 0, 1, 2, or 3) with each mode differing in

respect to the SCK polarity and phase and how the polarity and phase control the flow of data on the SPI bus.

The AT25M02 supports the two most common modes, SPI Modes 0 and 3. With SPI Modes 0 and 3, data is

always latched in on the rising edge of SCK and always output on the falling edge of SCK. The only difference

between SPI Modes 0 and 3 is the polarity of the SCK signal when in the inactive state (when the SPI Master is

in standby mode and not transferring any data). SPI Mode 0 is defined as a low SCK while CS is not asserted

(at VCC) and SPI Mode 3 has SCK high in the inactive state. The SCK idle state must match when the CS is

deasserted both before and after the communication sequence in SPI Mode 0 and 3. The figures in this

document depict Mode 0 with a solid line on SCK while CS is inactive and Mode 3 with a dotted line.

Figure 3-1. SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3

3.1 Interfacing the AT25M02 on the SPI Bus

Communication to and from the AT25M02 must be initiated by the SPI Master device, such as a microcontroller.

The SPI Master device must generate the serial clock for the AT25M02 on the SCK pin. The AT25M02 always

operates as a slave due to the fact that the Serial Clock pin (SCK) is always an input.

Selecting the Device: The AT25M02 is selected when the CS pin is low. When the device is not selected, data

will not be accepted via the SI pin, and the SO pin will remain in a high impedance state.

Sending Data to the Device: The AT25M02 uses the Serial Data Input (SI) pin to receive information. All

instructions, addresses and data input bytes are clocked into the device with the Most Significant Bit (MSB) first.

The SI pin samples on the first rising edge of the SCK line after the CS has been asserted.

Receiving Data from the Device: Data output from the device is transmitted on the Serial Data Output (SO)

pin, with the MSB output first. The SO data is latched on the first falling edge of SCK after the instruction has

been clocked into the device, such as the Read from Memory Array and Read Status Register instructions. See

Section 5. “Read Array Operation” on page 12 for more details.

3.2 Device Opcodes

Serial Opcode: After the device is selected by driving CS low, the first byte will be received on the SI pin. This

byte contains the opcode that defines the operation to be performed. Please refer to Table 4-1 on page 7 for a

list of all opcodes that the AT25M02 will respond to.

Invalid Opcode: If an invalid opcode is received, no data will be shifted into AT25M02 and the Serial Data

Output (SO) pin will remain in a high impedance state until the falling edge of CS is detected again. This will

reinitialize the serial communication.

3.3 Hold Function

The HOLD pin is used to pause the serial communication with the device without having to stop or reset the

clock sequence. The Hold mode, however, does not have an effect on the internal write cycle. Therefore, if a

write cycle is in progress, asserting the HOLD pin will not pause the operation and the write cycle will continue to

completion.

The Hold mode can only be entered while the CS pin is asserted. The Hold mode is activated by asserting the

HOLD pin during the SCK low pulse. If the HOLD pin is asserted during the SCK high pulse, then the Hold mode

will not be started until the beginning of the next SCK low pulse. The device will remain in the Hold mode as long

as the HOLD pin and CS pin are asserted.

While in Hold mode, the SO pin will be in a high impedance state. In addition, both the SI pin and the SCK pin

will be ignored. The WP pin, however, can still be asserted or deasserted while in the Hold mode.

To end the Hold mode and resume serial communication, the HOLD pin must be deasserted during the SCK low

pulse. If the HOLD pin is deasserted during the SCK high pulse, then the Hold mode will not end until the

beginning of the next SCK low pulse.

If the CS pin is deasserted while the HOLD pin is still asserted, then any operation that may have been started

will be aborted and the device will reset the WEL bit in the Status Register back to the Logic 0 state.

Figure 3-2. Hold Mode

Figure 3-3. Hold Timing

3.4 Write Protection

The Write Protect (WP) pin will allow normal read/write operations when held high. When the WP pin is brought

low and WPEN bit is a Logic 1, all write operations to the Status Register are inhibited. The WP pin going low

while CS is still low will interrupt a Write to the Status Register. If the internal write cycle has already been

initiated, WP going low will have no effect on any write operation to the Status Register. The WP pin function is

blocked when the WPEN bit in the Status Register is a Logic 0. This will allow the user to install the AT25M02

device in a system with the WP pin tied to ground and still be able to write to the Status Register. All WP pin

functions are enabled when the WPEN bit is set to a Logic 1.

4.2 Read Status Register (RDSR) and Low Power Write Poll (LPWP)

4.2.1 Read Status Register (RDSR)

The Read Status Register instruction provides access to the Status Register. The ready/busy and write enable

status of the device can be determined by the RDSR instruction. Similarly, the Block Write Protection bits

indicate the extent of memory array protection employed. The Status Register is read by asserting the CS pin,

followed by sending in a 05h opcode on the SI pin. Upon completion of the opcode, the device will return the

8-bit Status Register value on the SO pin.

Figure 4-1. RDSR Waveform

The Status Register can be continuously read for data by continuing to read beyond the first 8-bit value

returned. The AT25M02 will update the Status Register value upon the completion of every 8 bits, thereby

allowing new Status Register values to be read without having to issue a new RDSR instruction.

4.2.2 Low Power Write Poll (LPWP)

The Low Power Write Poll command can be used after any write command as a means to check if the device

has completed its internal write cycle. The LPWP command requires an opcode of 08h and will return an FFh

value when the part is still busy completing the write cycle. The LPWP command will return a 00h value if the

part is no longer in a write cycle. Refer to section Section 6.2.1 on page 14 for a description on implementing a

polling routine. Continuous reading of the LPWP state is supported and the value output by the device will be

updated every eight bits.

4.3 Write Enable (WREN) and Write Disable (WRDI)

Enabling and disabling writing to the Status Register and EEPROM array is accomplished through the Write

Enable Instruction (WREN) and the Write Disable Instruction (WRDI). These functions change the status of the

WEL bit in the Status Register.

4.3.1 Write Enable Instruction (WREN)

The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the Status Register must be set to a Logic 1 prior to each WRSR and

WRITE instruction. This is accomplished by sending a WREN (06h) command to the AT25M02. First, the CS pin

is driven low to select the device and then a 06h instruction value is clocked in on the SI pin. Then the CS pin

can be driven high and the WEL bit will be updated in the Status Register to a Logic 1. The device will power-up

in the write disable state (WEL = 0).

Figure 4-3. WREN Timing

4.3.2 Write Disable Instruction (WRDI)

To protect the device against inadvertent writes, the Write Disable instruction (opcode 04h) disables all

programming modes by setting the WEL bit to a Logic 0. The WRDI instruction is independent of the status of

the WP pin.

4.4 Write Status Register (WRSR)

The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction enables the SPI Master to change selected bits of the Status

Logic 1. Upon completion of a WREN sequence, a WRSR sequence can be executed.

Note: The WRSR function has no effect on bit 6, bit 5, bit 4, bit 1 and bit 0 of the Status Register. Only bit 7, bit 3 and

bit 2 can be changed via the WRSR sequence. These modifiable bits are the Write Protect Enable (WPEN) bit

and Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits. These three bits are non-volatile cells that have the same properties and

functions as regular EEPROM cells. Their values are retained while power is removed from the device.

The AT25M02 will not respond to commands other than a RDSR after a WRSR sequence until the self-timed

internal write cycle has completed. When the write cycle is completed, the WEL bit in the Status Register is

reset to Logic 0.

4.4.1 Block Write Protect Function

The WRSR instruction allows the user to select one of four possible combinations as to how the memory array

will be inhibited from writing through changing the Block Write Protect bits (BP1, BP0). The four levels of array

protection are:

None of the memory array is protected.

Upper quarter (¼) address range is write protected meaning the highest order 512-Kbits are read-only.

Upper half (½) address range is write protected meaning the highest order 1-Mbits are read-only.

All of the memory array is write protected meaning all addresses are read-only.

The Block Write Protection levels and corresponding Status Register control bits are shown in Table 4-3.

4.4.2 Write Protect Enable Function

The WRSR instruction also allows the user to enable or disable the Write Protect (WP) pin through the use of

the Write Protect Enable (WPEN) bit. When the WPEN bit is set to Logic 0, the writability of the EEPROM array

is dictated by the values of the Block Write Protect bits. The writability of the Status Register is controlled by the

WEL bit. When the WPEN bit is set to Logic 1, the Status Register is read-only.

Hardware Write Protection is enabled when both the WP pin is at GND and the WPEN bit has been set to one.

When the device is Hardware Write Protected, all writing to the Status Register, including the Block Write

Protection bits, the WEL and the WPEN bit, and to the sections in the memory array selected by the Block Write

Protection bits are disabled. When Hardware Write Protection is enabled, writes are only allowed to sections of

the memory that are not block protected.

Hardware Write Protection is disabled when either the WP pin is at VCC or the WPEN bit is zero. When

Hardware Write Protection is disabled, writes are only allowed to sections of the memory that are not block

protected.

Note: When the WPEN bit is hardware write protected, it cannot be changed back to zero, as long as the WP

pin is held at GND.

5. Read Array Operation

Reading the AT25M02 via the SO pin requires the following sequence. After the CS line is pulled low to select a

device, the Read opcode 03h is transmitted via the SI line followed by the 24-bit address to be read.

Note: Address bits A23 through A18 are don't care bits as they do not fall within the 2-Mbit addressable range.

Upon completion of the 24-bit address, any data on the SI line will be ignored. The data (D7 – D0) at the

specified address is then shifted out onto the SO line. If only one byte is to be read, the CS line should be driven

high after the data comes out. The Read sequence can be continued since the byte address is automatically

incremented and data will continue to be shifted out. When the highest address is reached (3FFFFh), the

address counter will roll over to the lowest address (00000h) allowing the entire memory to be read in one

continuous read cycle regardless of the starting address.

6. Write Commands

In order to program the AT25M02, two separate instructions must be executed. First, the device must be write

enabled via the Write Enable instruction (WREN). Then, one of the two possible Write instructions described in

Section 6.1 may be executed. The address of the memory location(s) to be programmed must be outside the

protected address field location selected by the block write protection level. During an internal write cycle, all

commands will be ignored except the RDSR instruction.

Note: If the device is not Write Enabled (WREN), the device will ignore the Write instruction and will return to

the standby state when CS is brought high. A new CS assertion is required to re-initiate communication.

6.1 Byte Write

A Byte Write instruction requires the following sequence and is depicted in Figure 6-1. After the CS line is pulled

low to select the device, the Write opcode (02h) is transmitted via the SI line followed by the 24-bit address and

the data (D7 – D0) to be programmed. Programming will start after the CS pin is brought high. The low-to-high

transition of the CS pin must occur during the SCK low time (Mode 0) and SCK high time (Mode 3) immediately

after clocking in the D0 (LSB) data bit. The AT25M02 is automatically returned to the Write Disable state (Status

Figure 6-1. Byte Write

6.2 Page Write

A Page Write sequence allows up to 256 bytes to be written in the same write cycle, provided that all bytes are

in the same row of the memory array (where addresses A17 through A8 are the same). Partial Page Writes of

less than 256 bytes are allowed. After each byte of data is received, the eight lowest order address bits are

internally incremented by one and the remaining address bits will remain constant. If more bytes of data are

transmitted that what will fit to the end of that memory row, the address counter will “roll over” to the beginning of

the same row. Due to the Internal Writing Methodology utilized in the device (see Section 6.2.1), creating a roll

over event should be avoided as data in the page could become unintentionally altered during the write cycle.

The AT25M02 is automatically returned to the Write Disable state (WEL = 0) at the completion of a write cycle.

6.2.1 Internal Writing Methodology

The AT25M02 incorporates a built in error detection and correction (EDC) logic scheme. The EEPROM array is

internally organized as a group of four connected 8-bit bytes plus an additional six ECC (Error Correction Code)

bits of EEPROM. These 38 bits are referred to as the internal physical data word. During a read sequence, the

EDC logic compares each 4-byte physical data word with its corresponding six ECC bits. If a single bit out of the

4-byte region happens to read incorrectly, the EDC logic will detect the bad bit and replace it with a correct value

before the data is serially clocked out. This architecture significantly improves the reliability of the AT25M02

compared to an implementation that does not utilize EDC.

It is important to note that data is always physically written to the part at the internal physical data word level,

regardless of the number of bytes written. Writing single bytes is still possible with the Byte Write operation, but

internally, the other three bytes within the 4-byte location where the single byte was written, along with the six

ECC bits will be updated. Due to this architecture, the AT25M02 EEPROM write endurance is rated at the

internal physical data word level (4-byte word). The system designer needs to optimize the application writing

algorithms to observe these internal word boundaries in order to reach the 1,000,000 cycle endurance rating.

6.2.2 Polling Routine

An polling routine can be implemented to optimize time sensitive applications that would not prefer to wait the

fixed maximum write cycle time (tWC). This method allows the application to know immediately when the Serial

EEPROM write cycle has completed to start a subsequent operation.

Once the internally timed write cycle has started, a polling routine can be initiated. This involves repeatedly

sending Read Status Register (RDSR) command to determine if the device has completed its self timed internal

write cycle. If the RDY/BSY bit (Bit 0) = 1, the write cycle is still in progress. If Bit 0 = 0, the write cycle has

ended. If the RDY/BSY bit = 1, repeated RDSR commands can be executed until the RDY/BSY bit = 0, signaling

that the device is ready to execute a new instruction. Only the Read Status Register instruction is enabled

during the write programming cycle.

7.6 EEPROM Cell Performance Characteristics

Table 7-5. EEPROM Cell Performance Characteristics

Notes: 1. Write endurance performance is determined through characterization and the qualification process.

2. Due to the memory array architecture, the Write Cycle Endurance is specified for writes in groups of four data

bytes. The beginning of any 4-byte boundaries can be determined by multiplying any integer (N) by four (i.e

4*N). The end address can be found by adding three to the beginning value (i.e. 4*N+3). See Section 6.2.1

“Internal Writing Methodology” on page 14 for more details on this implementation.

3. The data retention capability is determined through qualification and is checked on each device in production.

7.7 Power-Up Requirements, Reset, and Default Conditions

During a power-up sequence, the VCC supplied to the AT25M02 should monotonically rise from GND to the

minimum VCC level as specified in Section 7-1 on page 15, with a slew rate no faster than 0.1V/μs.

7.7.1 Device Reset

To prevent inadvertent write operations or other spurious events from happening during a power-up sequence,

the AT25M02 includes a power-on-reset (POR) circuit. Upon power-up, the device will not respond to any

commands until the VCC level crosses the internal voltage threshold (VPOR) that brings the device out of reset

and into standby mode.

The system designer must ensure that no instruction is sent to the device until the VCC supply has reached a

stable value greater than the minimum VCC level. Once the VCC has surpassed the minimum level, the SPI

Master must wait at least tVCSL before asserting the CS pin. See Table 7-6 for the values associated with these

power-up parameters.

Applicable over recommended operating range from TA = 25C, f = 1.0MHz, VCC = 5.0V (unless otherwise noted).

Table 7-6. Power-up Conditions(1)

Note: 1. These parameters are characterized but are not 100% tested in production.

If an event occurs in the system where the VCC level supplied to the AT25M02 drops below the maximum VPOR

level specified, it is recommended that a full power cycle sequence be performed by first driving the VCC pin to

GND, waiting at least the minimum tPOFF time, and then performing a new power-up sequence in compliance

with the requirements defined in this section.

7.7.2 Software Reset

The SPI interface of the AT25M02 can be reset by toggling the CS input. If the CS line is already in the active

state, it must a complete transition from the inactive state (≥ VIH)to the active state (≤ VIL), and then back to the

inactive state (≥ VIH) without sending clocks on the SCK line. Upon completion of this sequence, the device will

be ready to receive a new opcode on the SI line.

7.7.3 Device Default State at Power-up

The AT25M02 default state upon power-up consists of:

Standby Power mode.

Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register = 0.

Ready/Busy bit in the Status Register = 0, indicating the device is ready to accept a new command.

Device is not selected.

Not in Hold condition.

WPEN, BP1 and BP0 bits in the Status Register are unchanged from their previous state due to the fact

that they are non-volatile values.

7.7.4 Device Default Condition from Atmel

The AT25M02 is shipped from Atmel to the customer with the EEPROM array set to an all FFh data pattern

(Logic 1 state). The Write Protection Enable bit in the Status Register is set to Logic 0 (the ability of the

EEPROM array to write is dictated by the values of the Block Write Protect bits while the SR ability to write is

controlled by the WEL bit). The Block Write Protection bits in the Status Register are set to Logic 0 (no write

protection selected).
