Initial Shipment Data
Initial shipment data of all addresses is “FFFFh”.
Operation
All instructions are executed by inputting DI in synchronization with the rising edge of SK after CS goes high. An
instruction set is input in the order of start bit, instruction, address, and data.
Instruction input finishes when CS goes low. A low level must be input to CS between commands during tCDS.
While a low level is being input to CS, the S-93C46B/56B/66B is in standby mode, so the SK and DI inputs are
invalid and no instructions are allowed.
Start Bit
A start bit is recognized when the DI pin goes high at the rise of SK after CS goes high. After CS goes high, a start
bit is not recognized even if the SK pulse is input as long as the DI pin is low.
1. Dummy clock
SK clocks input while the DI pin is low before a start bit is input are called dummy clocks. Dummy clocks are
effective when aligning the number of instruction sets (clocks) sent by the CPU with those required for serial
memory operation. For example, when a CPU instruction set is 16 bits, the number of instruction set clocks
can be adjusted by inserting a 7-bit dummy clock for the S-93C46B and a 5-bit dummy clock for the S-
93C56B/66B.
2. Start bit input failure
When the output status of the DO pin is high during the verify period after a write operation, if a high level is
input to the DI pin at the rising edge of SK, the S-93C46B/56B/66B recognizes that a start bit has been input.
To prevent this failure, input a low level to the DI pin during the verify operation period (refer to “4. 1 Verify
operation”).
When a 3-wire interface is configured by connecting the DI input pin and DO output pin, a period in which the
data output from the CPU and the serial memory collide may be generated, preventing successful input of the
start bit. Take the measures described in “ 3-Wire Interface (Direct Connection betw een DI and DO)”.

3. Reading (READ)
The READ instruction reads data from a specified address.
After CS has gone high, input an instruction in the order of the start bit, read instruction, and address. Since
the last input address (A0) has been latched, the output status of the DO pin changes from high impedance
(High-Z) to low, which is held until the next rise of SK. 16-bit data starts to be output in synchronization with
the next rise of SK.
3. 1 Sequential read
After the 16-bit data at the specified address has been output, inputting SK while CS is high automatically
increments the address, and causes the 16-bit data at the next address to be output sequentially. The
above method makes it possible to read the data in the whole memory space. The last address (An yyy
A1 A0 = 1 yyy 1 1) rolls over to the top address (An yyy A
1 A0 = 0 yyy 0 0).

4. Writing (WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, ERAL)
A write operation includes four write instructions: data write (WRITE), data erase (ERASE), chip write (WRAL),
and chip erase (ERAL).
A write instruction (WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, ERAL) starts a write operation to the memory cell when a low level
is input to CS after a specified number of clocks have been input. T he SK and DI inputs are invalid during the
write period, so do not input an instruction.
Input an instruction while the output status of the DO pin is high or high impedance (High-Z).
A write operation is valid only in program enable mode (refer to “5. Write enable (EWEN) and write disable
(EWDS)”).
4. 1 Verify operation
A write operation executed by any instruction is completed within 8 ms (write time tPR: typically 4 ms), so if
the completion of the write operation is recognized, the write cycle can be minimized. A sequential
operation to confirm the status of a write operation is called a verify operation.
4. 1. 1 Operation
After the write operation has started (CS = low), the status of the write operation can be verified by
confirming the output status of the DO pin by inputting a high level to CS again. This sequence is
called a verify operation, and the period that a high level is input to the CS pin after the wr ite operation
has started is called the verify operation period.
The relationship between the output status of the DO pin and the write operation during the verify
operation period is as follows.
DO pin = low: Writing in progress (busy)
DO pin = high: Writing completed (ready)
4. 1. 2 Operation exampl e
There are two methods to perform a verify operation: Waiting for a change in the output stat us of the
DO pin while keeping CS high, or suspending the verify operation (CS = low) once and then performing
it again to verify the output status of the DO pin. The latter method allows the CPU to perform other
processing during the wait period, allowing an efficient system to be designed.
Caution 1. Input a low level to the DI pin during a verify operation.
2. If a high level is input to the DI pin at the rise of SK when the output status of the DO pin is
high, the S-93C46B/56B/66B latches the instruction assuming that a start bit has been input.
In this case, note that the DO pin immed i ately enters a high -impedance (High-Z) state.

4. 2 Writing data (WRITE)
To write 16-bit data to a specified address, change CS to high and then input the WRITE instruction,
address, and 16-bit data following the start bit. The write operation starts when CS goes low. There is no
need to set the data to 1 before writing. If the clocks more than the specified number have been input, the
clock pulse monitoring circuit cancels the WRITE instruction. For details of the clock pulse monitoring
circuit, refer to “ Function to Protect Against Write due to Erroneous Instruction Recognition”.

To erase 16-bit data at a specified address, set all 16 bits of the data to 1, change CS to high, and then
input the ERASE instruction and address following the start bit. There is no need to input data. T he data
erase operation starts when CS goes low. If the clocks more than the specified number have been input,
the clock pulse monitoring circuit cancels the ERASE instruction. For details of the clock pulse monitoring

4. 5 Erasing chip (ERAL)
To erase the data of the entire memory address space, set all the data to 1, change CS to high, and then
input the ERAL instruction and an address following the start bit. Any address can be input. T here is no
need to input data. The chips erase operation starts when CS goes low. If the clocks more than the
specified number have been input, the clock pulse monitoring circuit cancels the ERAL instruction. For
details of the clock pulse monitoring circuit, refer to “ Function to Protect Against Write due to
Erroneous Instruction Recognition”.

5. Write enable (EWEN) and write disable (EWDS)
The EWEN instruction is an instruction that enables a write operation. The status in which a write operation is
enabled is called the program enable mode.
The EWDS instruction is an instruction that disables a write operation. The status in which a write operation is
disabled is called the program disable mode.
After CS goes high, input an instruction in the order of the start bit, EWEN or EWDS instruction, and address
(optional). Each mode becomes valid by inputting a low level to CS after the last address (optional) has been
input.

5. 1 Recommendation for write operation disable instruction
It is recommended to implement a design that prevents an incorrect write operation when a write instruction
is erroneously recognized by executing the write operation disable instruction when executing instructions
other than write instruction, and immediately after power-on and before power off.

Write Protect Function during the Low Pow er Supply Voltage
The S-93C46B/56B/66B provides a built-in detector. When the power supply voltage is low or at power application,
the write instructions (WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, ERAL) are cancelled, and the write disable state (EWDS) is
automatically set. The detection voltage is 1.75 V typ., the release voltage is 2.05 V typ., and there is a hysteresis of
about 0.3 V (refer to Figure 20). Therefore, when a write operation is performed after the power supply voltage has
dropped and then risen again up to the level at which writing is possible, a write enable instruction (EWEN) must be
sent before a write instruction (WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, ERAL) is executed.
When the power supply voltage drops during a write operation, the data being written to an address at that time is
not guaranteed.

Function to Protect Against Write due to Erroneous Instruction Recognition
The S-93C46B/56B/66B provides a built-in clock pulse monitoring circuit which is used to prevent an erroneous
write operation by canceling write instructions (WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, ERAL) recognized erroneously due to an
erroneous clock count caused by the application of noise pulses or double counting of clocks.
Instructions are cancelled if a clock pulse more or less than specified number decided by each write operation
(WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, ERAL) is detected.

3-Wire Interface (Direct Connection between DI and DO)
There are two types of serial interface configurations: a 4-wire interface configured using the CS, SK, DI, and DO
pins, and a 3-wire interface that connects the DI input pin and DO output pin.
When the 3-wire interface is employed, a period in which the data output from the CPU and the data output from the
serial memory collide may occur, causing a malfunction. To prevent such a malfunction, connect the DI and DO
pins of the S-93C46B/56B/66B via a resistor (10 kΩ to 100 kΩ) so that the data output from the CPU takes
precedence in being input to the DI pin (refer to “Figure 22 Connection of 3-Wire Interface”).

Input Pin and Output Pin
1. Connection of input pins
All the input pins of the S-93C46B/56B/66B employ a CMOS structure, so design the equipment so that high
impedance will not be input while the S-93C46B/56B/66B is operating. Especially, deselect the CS input (a low
level) when turning on / off power and during standby. When the CS pin is deselected (a low level), incorrect
data writing will not occur. Connect the CS pin to GND via a resistor (10 kΩ to 100 kΩ pull-down resistor).
To prevent malfunction, it is recommended to use equivalent pull-down resistors for pins other than the CS pin.
2. Equivalent circuit of input pin and output pin
The following shows the equivalent circuits of input pins of the S-93C46B/56B/66B. None of the input pins
incorporate pull-up and pull-down elements, so special care must be taken when designing to prevent a floating
status.
Output pins are high-level / low-level / high-impedance tri-state outputs. The TEST pin is disconnected from
the internal circuit by a switching transistor during normal operation. As long as the absolute maximum rating
is satisfied, the TEST pin and internal circuit will never be connected.

3. Input pin noise elimination time
The S-93C46B/56B/66B includes a built-in low-pass filter to eliminate noise at the SK, DI, and CS pins. This
means that if the supply voltage is 5.0 V (at room temperature), noise with a pulse width of 20 ns or less can be
eliminated.
Note, therefore, the noise with a pulse width of more than 20 ns will be recognized as a pulse if the voltage
exceeds VIH / VIL.
Precaution
Do not apply an electrostatic discharge to this IC that exceeds the performance ratings of the built-in electrostatic
protection circuit.
SII claims no responsibility for any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with any infringement by products
including this IC of patents owned by a third party.
