2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the ORG pin is connected to VCC, the (x16)
organization is selected. When it is connected to
ground, the (x8) organization is selected. Instruc-
tions, addresses and write data are clocked into the
DI pin on the rising edge of the clock (CLK). The DO
pin is normally held in a high-Z state except when
reading data from the device, or when checking the
Ready/Busy status during a programming operation.
The Ready/Busy status can be verified during an
erase/write operation by polling the DO pin; DO low
indicates that programming is still in progress, while
DO high indicates the device is ready. The DO will
enter the high-Z state on the falling edge of the CS.
2.1 Start Condition
The Start bit is detected by the device if CS and DI are
both high with respect to the positive edge of CLK for
the first time.
Before a Start condition is detected, CS, CLK and DI
may change in any combination (except to that of a
Start condition), without resulting in any device opera-
tion (Read, Write, Erase, EWEN, EWDS, ERAL and
WRAL). As s oon as CS is hig h, th e device is no long er
in the Standby mode.
An instruction following a Start condition will only be
executed if the required amount of opcode, address
and dat a bits for any par ticula r instru ction i s cloc ked i n.
After exec uti on of a n in struc tio n (i. e., cloc k in o r out of
the last required address or data bit) CLK and DI
become “don't care” bits until a new Start condition is
detected.
2.2 Data In /Data Out (DI/DO)
It is possible to connect the Data In and Data Out pins
together. However, with this configuration it is possible
for a “bus conflict” to occur during the “dummy zero”
that precedes the read operation, if A0 is a logic high
level. Under such a condition the voltage level seen at
Data Out is undefined and will depend upon the relative
impedances of Data Out and the signal source driving
A0. The higher the current sourcing capability of A0,
the higher the voltage at the Data Out pin.
2.3 Data Protection
During power-up, all programming modes of operation
are i nhibit ed unti l VCC has reache d a lev el gre ater tha n
1.4V. During power-down, the source data protection
circuitry acts to inhibit all programming modes when
VCC has fallen below 1.4V at nominal conditions.
The EWEN and EWDS commands give additional
protection against accidentally programming during
normal ope rati on.
After power-up, the device is automatically in the
EWDS mode. Therefore, an EWEN instruction must be
performed before any ERASE or WRITE instruction can
be executed.
2.4 Read
The READ instruction outputs the serial data of the
addressed memory location on the DO pin. A dummy
zero bit prec edes th e 16 -bit (x1 6 org ani zatio n) or 8- bit
(x8 orga nizati on) output string . The output dat a b its will
toggle on the rising edge of the CLK and are stable
after the specified time delay (TPD). Sequential read is
possible when CS is held high. The memory data will
automatically cycle to the next register and output
sequentially.
2.5 Erase/Write Enable and Disable
(EWEN, EWDS)
The 93LC46/56/66 power up in the Erase/Write Disable
(EWDS) state. All programming modes must be
preceded by an Erase/Write Enable (EWEN) instruction.
Once the EWEN instruction is executed, programming
remains enabled until an EWDS instruction is executed
or VCC is re moved fr om t he de vic e. To prot ect ag ainst
accidental data disturb, the EWDS instruction can be
used to disable all erase/write functions and should
follow all programming operations. Execution of a READ
instruction is independent of both the EWEN and EWDS
instructions.
2.6 Erase
The ERASE ins tru c ti o n f o rc e s al l da ta bi ts o f t he spec i-
fied address to the logical “1” state. CS is brought low
follow ing th e l oa ding of the las t a ddress b it. This fal lin g
edge o f the CS pin in itiates the sel f-timed p rogrammin g
cycle.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (TCSL). DO at logical0” indicates that program-
ming is s til l in progre ss . DO a t log ical “1” indic ate s that
the register at the specified address has been erased
and the device is ready for another instruction.
The erase cycle takes 4 ms per word typical.
2002-2012 Microchip Technology Inc. DS21712C-page 7
93LC46/56/66
2.7 Write
The WRITE instruction is followe d by 16 bits (or b y 8
bits) of data which are written into the specified
address. After the last data bit is put on the DI pin,
CS must be b rought low befor e the next rising ed ge
of the CLK clock. This falling edge of CS initiates the
self-timed auto-era se and programming cycle.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (T CSL) and be fore the entire write cycle is complete.
DO at logical “0” indicates that programming is still in
progre ss. DO at lo gical 1” indi cates that th e regist er at
the specified address has been written with the data
specified and the device is ready for another
instruction.
The write cycle takes 4 ms per word typi cal.
2.8 Erase All (ERAL)
The ERAL instruction will erase the entire memory array
to the logical1” state. The ERAL cycle is identical to
the ERASE cycle except for the different opcode. The
ERAL cycle is completely self-timed and commences
at the fal ling e dge of the C S. Clock ing of the CLK pi n is
not necessary after the device has entered the self
clocking mode. The ERAL instruction is ensured at 5V
±10%.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low (TCSL) and before the entire write cycle is complete.
The ERAL cycle takes (8 ms typical).
2.9 Write All (WRAL)
The WRAL instructio n will write the entire memor y array
with the data specified in the command. The WRAL
cycle is completely self-timed and commences at the
falling edge of the CS. Clocking of the CLK pin is not
necessary after the device has entered the self clock-
ing mode. The WRAL command does include an auto-
matic ERAL cycle for the device. Therefore, the WRAL
instruction does not require an ERAL instructio n but the
chip m ust be in the EWEN st atus. The WRAL instruction
is en sure d at 5V ±10%.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the
device if CS is brought high after a minimum of 250 ns
low ( Tcsl ).
The WRAL cy cle takes 16 ms typical.

3.0 PIN DESCRIPTION
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
3.1 Chip Select (CS)
A high level selects the device. A low level deselects
the dev ice and fo rces it i nto S t andby mode. H owever , a
programming cycle which is already initiated and/or in
progress will be completed, regardless of the CS input
signal . I f C S is brou ght low duri ng a p rogra m c yc le, th e
device will go into Standby mode as soon as the
programming cycle is completed.
CS must be low for 250 ns minimum (TCSL) between
consecutive instructions. If CS is low, the internal
control logic is held in a Reset status.
3.2 Serial Clock (CLK)
The se rial clock is used to synch ronize the communic a-
tion between a master device and the 93LC46/56/66.
Opcode, address and data bits are clocked in on the
positiv e e dge of CLK. D at a bit s ar e also cloc ked out on
the positive edge of CLK.
CLK can be stopped anywhere in the transmission
sequence (at high or low level) and can be continued
anytime with respect to clock high time (TCKH) and
clock low time (TCKL). This gives the controlling master
freedom in preparing opcode, address and data.
CLK is a “don't care” if CS is l ow (devic e desele cted). If
CS is high, but Start condition has not been detected,
any number of clock cycles can be received by the
device withou t chan ging i ts st atus (i.e., waiting for Start
condition).
CLK cycles are not required during the self-timed write
(i.e., auto erase/write) cycle.
After detection of a S tart condition the specified number
of clock cycles (respectively low-to-high transitions of
CLK) must be provided. These clock cycles are required
to clock in all required opcode, address and data bits
before an instruction is executed (see instruction set
truth table). CLK and DI then become “don't care” inputs
waiting for a new Start condition to be detected.
3.3 Data In (DI)
Data In is used to clock in a Start bit, opcode, address
and data synchronously with the CLK input.
3.4 Data Out (DO)
Dat a O ut i s u sed in t he Read mod e to outp ut data syn-
chronously with the CLK input (TPD after the positive
edge of CLK).
This pin also provides Ready/Busy status information
during era se and write cyc les. Ready/Bu sy status inf or-
mation is available on the DO pin if CS is brought high
af ter being low for mini mum c hip selec t low time (TCSL)
and an erase or write operation has been initiated.
The Status signal is not available on DO, if CS is held
low or high during the entire write or erase cycle. In all
other cases DO is in the High-Z mode. If status is
checked after the write/erase cycle, a pull-up resistor
on DO is required to read the Ready signal.
3.5 Organization (ORG)
When ORG is connected to VCC, the (x16) memory
organ iz atio n i s s ele cte d. When OR G i s ti ed t o VSS, the
(x8) memory organi zation is selected. ORG can only be
floated for clock speeds of 1 MHz or less for the (x16)
memory organization. For clock speeds greater than
1 MHz, ORG must be tied to VCC or VSS.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure famili es of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.
Code protection is c onstantly evolving. We a t Microc hip are co m mitted to continuously improving the code prot ect ion featur es of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’ s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Mill ennium Copyright Act. If such act s
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
