Notes:
(1) These parameters are tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter according to appropriate
AEC-Q100 and JEDEC test methods.
(2) tPUR and tPUW are the delays required from the time VCC is stable until the specified operation can be initiated.

DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT93C66 is a 4096-bit nonvolatile memory
intended for use with industry standard micropro–
cessors. The CAT93C66 can be organized as either
registers of 16 bits or 8 bits. When organized as X16,
seven 11-bit instructions control the reading, writing and
erase operations of the device. When organized as X8,
seven 12-bit instructions control the reading, writing and
erase operations of the device. The CAT93C66 operates
on a single power supply and will generate on chip, the
high voltage req uired during any write operation.
Instructions, addresses, and write data are clocked
into the DI pin on the rising edge of the clock (SK).
The DO pin is normally in a high impedance state
except when reading data from the device, or when
checking the ready/busy status after a write operation.
The serial communication protocol follows the timing
shown in Figure 1.
The ready/busy status can be determined after the start
of internal write cycle by selecting the device (CS high)
and polling the DO pin; DO low indicates that the write
operation is not completed, while DO high indicates that
the device is ready for the next instruction. If necessar y,
the DO pin may be placed back into a high impedance
state during chip select by shifting a dummy “1” into the
DI pin. The DO pin will enter the high impedance state
on the rising edge of the clock (SK). Placing the DO pin
into the high impedance state is recommended in
applications where the DI pin and the DO pin are to be
tied together to form a common DI/O pin.
The format for all instructions sent to the device is a
logical “1” start bit, a 2-bit (or 4-bit) opcode, 8-bit
address (an additional bit when organized X8) and for
write operations a 16-bit data field (8-bit for X8
organizations). The instruction format is shown in
Instruction Set table.
