Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 11AAXXX/11LCXXX
(11XX*) devices are a family of 1 Kbit through 16 Kbit
Serial Electrically Erasable PROMs. The devices are
organized in blocks of x8-bit memory and support the
patented** single I/O UNI/O® serial bus. By using
Manchester encoding techniques, the clock and data
are combined into a single, serial bit stream (SCIO),
where the clock signal is extracted by the receiver to
correctly decode the timing and value of each bit.
Low-voltage design permits operation down to 1.8V (for
11AAXXX devices), with standby and active currents of
only 1 uA and 1 mA, respectively.
The 11XX family is available in standard packages
including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced pack-
aging including 3-lead SOT-23, 3-lead TO-92, 4-lead
Chip Scale, 8-lead TDFN, and 8-lead MSOP.

2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Principles of Operation
The 11XX family of serial EEPROMs support the
UNI/O® protocol. They can be interfaced with
microcontrollers, including Microchip’s PIC® microcon-
trollers, ASICs, or any other device with an available
discrete I/O line that can be configured properly to
match the UNI/O protocol.
The 11XX devices contain an 8-bit instruction register.
The devices are accessed via the SCIO pin.
Table 4-1 contains a list of the possible instruction
bytes and format for device operation. All instructions,
addresses, and data are transferred MSb first, LSb
last.
Data is embedded into the I/O stream through
Manchester encoding. The bus is controlled by a
master device which determines the clock period, con-
trols the bus access and initiates all operations, while
the 11XX works as slave. Both master and slave can
operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is active.

3.0 BUS CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Standby Pulse
When the master has control of SCIO, a standby pulse
can be generated by holding SCIO high for TSTBY. At
this time, the 11XX will reset and return to Standby
mode. Subsequently, a high-to-low transition on SCIO
(the first low pulse of the header) will return the device
to the active state.
Once a command is terminated satisfactorily (i.e., via
a NoMAK/SAK combination during the Acknowledge
sequence), performing a standby pulse is not required
to begin a new command as long as the device to be
selected is the same device selected during the previ-
ous command. However, a period of TSS must be
observed after the end of the command and before the
beginning of the start header. After TSS, the start
header (including THDR low pulse) can be transmitted
in order to begin the new command.
If a command is terminated in any manner other than a
NoMAK/SAK combination, then the master must per-
form a standby pulse before beginning a new com-
mand, regardless of which device is to be selected.
An example of two consecutive commands is shown in
Figure 3-1. Note that the device address is the same
for both commands, indicating that the same device is
being selected both times.
A standby pulse cannot be generated while the slave
has control of SCIO. In this situation, the master must
wait for the slave to finish transmitting and to release
SCIO before the pulse can be generated.
If, at any point during a command, an error is detected
by the master, a standby pulse should be generated
and the command should be performed again.
FIGURE 3-1: CONSECUTIVE COMMANDS EXAMPLE
3.2 Start Data Transfer
All operations must be preceded by a start header. The
start header consists of holding SCIO low for a period
of THDR, followed by transmitting an 8-bit ‘01010101’
code. This code is used to synchronize the slave’s
internal clock period with the master’s clock period, so
accurate timing is very important.
When a standby pulse is not required (i.e., between
successive commands to the same device), a period of
T
SS must be observed after the end of the command
and before the beginning of the start header.
Figure 3-2 shows the waveform for the start header,
including the required Acknowledge sequence at the
end of the byte.
FIGURE 3-2: START HEADER
Note: After a POR/BOR event occurs, a low-
to-high transition on SCIO must be gen-
erated before proceeding with communi-
cation, including a standby pulse.

3.3 Acknowledge
An Acknowledge routine occurs after each byte is
transmitted, including the start header. This routine
consists of two bits. The first bit is transmitted by the
master, and the second bit is transmitted by the slave.
The Master Acknowledge, or MAK, is signified by trans-
mitting a ‘1’, and informs the slave that the current
operation is to be continued. Conversely, a Not
Acknowledge, or NoMAK, is signified by transmitting a
‘0’, and is used to end the current operation (and initiate
the write cycle for write operations).
The slave Acknowledge, or SAK, is also signified by
transmitting a ‘1’, and confirms proper communication.
However, unlike the NoMAK, the NoSAK is signified by
the lack of a middle edge during the bit period.
A NoSAK will occur for the following events:
• Following the start header
• Following the device address, if no slave on the
bus matches the transmitted address
• Following the command byte, if the command is
invalid, including Read, CRRD, Write, WRSR,
SETAL, and ERAL during a write cycle.
• If the slave becomes out of sync with the master
• If a command is terminated prematurely by using
a NoMAK, with the exception of immediately after
the device address.
See Figure 3.3 and Figure 3-4 for details.
If a NoSAK is received from the slave after any byte
(except the start header), an error has occurred. The
master should then perform a standby pulse and begin
the desired command again.
FIGURE 3-3: ACKNOWLEDGE
ROUTINE
FIGURE 3-4: ACKNOWLEDGE BITS
3.4 Device Addressing
A device address byte is the first byte received from the
master device following the start header. The device
address byte consists of a four-bit family code, for the
11XX this is set as ‘1010’. The last four bits of the
device address byte are the device code, which is
hardwired to ‘0000’ on the 11XXXX0 devices.
The device code on 11XXXX1 devices is hardwired to
‘0001’. This allows both 11XXXX0 and 11XXXX1
devices to be used on the same bus without address
conflicts.
FIGURE 3-5: DEVICE ADDRESS BYTE
ALLOCATION
3.5 Bus Conflict Protection
To help guard against high current conditions arising
from bus conflicts, the 11XX features a current-limited
output driver. The IOL and IOH specifications describe
the maximum current that can be sunk or sourced,
respectively, by the SCIO pin. The 11XX will vary the
output driver impedance to ensure that the maximum
current level is not exceeded.
Note: A MAK must always be transmitted
following the start header.
Note: When a NoMAK is used to end a WRITE
or WRSR instruction, the write cycle is
not initiated if no bytes of data have
been received.
Note: In order to guard against bus contention,
a NoSAK will occur after the start
header.

3.6 Device Standby
The 11XX features a low-power Standby mode during
which the device is waiting to begin a new command.
A high-to-low transition on SCIO will exit low-power
mode and prepare the device for receiving the start
header.
Standby mode will be entered upon the following
conditions:
• A NoMAK followed by a SAK (i.e., valid termina-
tion of a command)
• Reception of a standby pulse
3.7 Device Idle
The 11XX features an Idle mode during which all serial
data is ignored until a standby pulse occurs. Idle mode
will be entered upon the following conditions:
• Invalid device address
• Invalid command byte, including Read, CRRD,
Write, WRSR, SETAL and ERAL during a write
cycle.
• Missed edge transition
• Reception of a MAK following a WREN, WRDI,
SETAL, or ERAL command byte
• Reception of a MAK following the data byte of a
WRSR command
An invalid start header will indirectly cause the device
to enter Idle mode. Whether or not the start header is
invalid cannot be detected by the slave, but will
prevent the slave from synchronizing properly with the
master. If the slave is not synchronized with the
master, an edge transition will be missed, thus causing
the device to enter Idle mode.
3.8 Synchronization
At the beginning of every command, the 11XX utilizes
the start header to determine the master’s bus clock
period. This period is then used as a reference for all
subsequent communication within that command.
The 11XX features re-synchronization circuitry which
will monitor the position of the middle data edge during
each MAK bit and subsequently adjust the internal time
reference in order to remain synchronized with the
master.
There are two variables which can cause the 11XX to
lose synchronization. The first is frequency drift,
defined as a change in the bit period, T
E. The second is
edge jitter, which is a single occurrence change in the
position of an edge within a bit period, while the bit
period itself remains constant.
3.8.1 FREQUENCY DRIFT
Within a system, there is a possibility that frequencies
can drift due to changes in voltage, temperature, etc.
The re-synchronization circuitry provides some toler-
ance for such frequency drift. The tolerance range is
specified by two parameters, FDRIFT and FDEV. FDRIFT
specifies the maximum tolerable change in bus fre-
quency per byte. FDEV specifies the overall limit in fre-
quency deviation within an operation (i.e., from the end
of the start header until communication is terminated
for that operation). The start header at the beginning of
the next operation will reset the re-synchronization cir-
cuitry and allow for another FDEV amount of frequency
drift.
3.8.2 EDGE JITTER
Ensuring that edge transitions from the master always
occur exactly in the middle or end of the bit period is not
always possible. Therefore, the re-synchronization cir-
cuitry is designed to provide some tolerance for edge
jitter.
The 11XX adjusts its phase every MAK bit, so TIJIT
specifies the maximum allowable peak-to-peak jitter
relative to the previous MAK bit. Since the position of
the previous MAK bit would be difficult to measure by
the master, the minimum and maximum jitter values for
a system should be considered the worst-case. These
values will be based on the execution time for different
branch paths in software, jitter due to thermal noise,
etc.
The difference between the minimum and maximum
values, as a percentage of the bit period, should be cal-
culated and then compared against TIJIT to determine
jitter compliance.
Note: In the case of the WRITE, WRSR, SETAL, or
ERAL commands, the write cycle is initiated
upon receipt of the NoMAK, assuming all
other write requirements have been met.
Note: Because the 11XX only re-synchronizes
during the MAK bit, the overall ability to
remain synchronized depends on a combi-
nation of frequency drift and edge jitter (i.e.,
if the MAK bit edge is experiencing the max-
imum allowable edge jitter, then there is no
room for frequency drift). Conversely, if the
frequency has drifted to the maximum
amount tolerable within a byte, then no edge
jitter can be present.
11AAXXX/11LCXXX
DS22067H-page 10 Preliminary 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.0 DEVICE COMMANDS
After the device address byte, a command byte must
be sent by the master to indicate the type of operation
to be performed. The code for each instruction is listed
in Table 4-1.
TABLE 4-1: INSTRUCTION SET
4.1 Read Instruction
The Read command allows the master to access any
memory location in a random manner. After the READ
instruction has been sent to the slave, the two bytes of
the Word Address are transmitted, with an Acknowl-
edge sequence being performed after each byte. Then,
the slave sends the first data byte to the master. If more
data is to be read, the master sends a MAK, indicating
that the slave should output the next data byte. This
continues until the master sends a NoMAK, which ends
the operation.
To provide sequential reads in this manner, the 11XX
contains an internal Address Pointer which is incre-
mented by one after the transmission of each byte. This
Address Pointer allows the entire memory contents to
be serially read during one operation. When the highest
address is reached, the Address Pointer rolls over to
address ‘0x000’ if the master chooses to continue the
operation by providing a MAK.

4.2 Current Address Read (CRRD)
Instruction
The internal address counter featured on the 11XX
maintains the address of the last memory array loca-
tion accessed. The CRRD instruction allows the mas-
ter to read data back beginning from this current
location. Consequently, no word address is provided
upon issuing this command.
Note that, except for the initial word address, the
READ and CRRD instructions are identical, including
the ability to continue requesting data through the use
of MAKs in order to sequentially read from the array.
As with the READ instruction, the CRRD instruction is
terminated by transmitting a NoMAK.
Table 4-2 lists the events upon which the internal
address counter is modified.

4.3 Write Instruction
Prior to any attempt to write data to the 11XX, the write
enable latch must be set by issuing the WREN
instruction (see Section 4.4).
Once the write enable latch is set, the user may pro-
ceed with issuing a WRITE instruction (including the
header and device address bytes) followed by the MSB
and LSB of the Word Address. Once the last Acknowl-
edge sequence has been performed, the master
transmits the data byte to be written.
The 11XX features a 16-byte page buffer, meaning that
up to 16 bytes can be written at one time. To utilize this
feature, the master can transmit up to 16 data bytes to
the 11XX, which are temporarily stored in the page buf-
fer. After each data byte, the master sends a MAK, indi-
cating whether or not another data byte is to follow. A
NoMAK indicates that no more data is to follow, and as
such will initiate the internal write cycle.
Upon receipt of each word, the four lower-order
Address Pointer bits are internally incremented by one.
The higher-order bits of the word address remain con-
stant. If the master should transmit data past the end of
the page, the address counter will roll over to the begin-
ning of the page, where further received data will be
written.
FIGURE 4-3: WRITE COMMAND SEQUENCE
Note: If a NoMAK is generated before any data
has been provided, or if a standby pulse
occurs before the NoMAK is generated,
the 11XX will be reset, and the write
cycle will not be initiated.
Note: Page write operations are limited to writ-
ing bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes actu-
ally being written. Physical page bound-
aries start at addresses that are integer
multiples of the page size (16 bytes) and
end at addresses that are integer multi-
ples of the page size minus 1. As an
example, the page that begins at
address 0x30 ends at address 0x3F. If a
page Write command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to
the beginning of the current page (over-
writing data previously stored there),
instead of being written to the next page
as might be expected. It is therefore
necessary for the application software to
prevent page write operations that
would attempt to cross a page bound-
ary.

4.4 Write Enable (WREN) and Write
Disable (WRDI) Instructions
The 11XX contains a write enable latch. See Table 6-1
for the Write-Protect Functionality Matrix. This latch
must be set before any write operation will be com-
pleted internally. The WREN instruction will set the
latch, and the WRDI instruction will reset the latch.
The following is a list of conditions under which the
write enable latch will be reset:
• Power-up
•WRDI instruction successfully executed
•WRSR instruction successfully executed
•WRITE instruction successfully executed
•ERAL instruction successfully executed
•SETAL instruction successfully executed
FIGURE 4-4: WRITE ENABLE COMMAND SEQUENCE
FIGURE 4-5: WRITE DISABLE COMMAND SEQUENCE
Note: The WREN and WRDI instructions must
be terminated with a NoMAK following
the command byte. If a NoMAK is not
received at this point, the command will
be considered invalid, and the device
will go into Idle mode without responding
with a SAK or executing the command.

4.5 Read Status Register (RDSR)
Instruction
The RDSR instruction provides access to the STATUS
register. The STATUS register may be read at any time,
even during a write cycle. The STATUS register is
formatted as follows:
The Write-In-Process (WIP) bit indicates whether the
11XX is busy with a write operation. When set to a ‘1’,
a write is in progress, when set to a ‘0’, no write is in
progress. This bit is read-only.
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status
of the write enable latch. When set to a ‘1’, the latch
allows writes to the array, when set to a ‘0’, the latch
prohibits writes to the array. This bit is set and cleared
using the WREN and WRDI instructions, respectively.
This bit is read-only for any other instruction.
The Block Protection (BP0 and BP1) bits indicate
which blocks are currently write-protected. These bits
are set by the user through the WRSR instruction.
These bits are nonvolatile.
The WIP and WEL bits will update dynamically (asyn-
chronous to issuing the RDSR instruction). Further-
more, after the STATUS register data is received, the
master can provide a MAK during the Acknowledge
sequence to request that the data be transmitted again.
This allows the master to continuously monitor the WIP
and WEL bits without the need to issue another full
command.
Once the master is finished, it provides a NoMAK to
end the operation.

Note: Bits 4-7 are don’t cares, and will read as ‘0’.
Note: If Read Status Register command is
initiated while the 11XX is currently
executing an internal write cycle on the
STATUS register, the new Block
Protection bit values will be read during
the entire command.
Note: The current drawn for a Read Status
Register command during a write cycle
is a combination of the ICC Read and ICC
Write operating currents.

4.6 Write Status Register (WRSR)
Instruction
The WRSR instruction allows the user to select one of
four levels of protection for the array by writing to the
appropriate bits in the STATUS register. The array is
divided up into four segments. The user has the ability
to write-protect none, one, two, or all four of the seg-
ments of the array. The partitioning is controlled as
illustrated in Table 4-3.
After transmitting the STATUS register data, the master
must transmit a NoMAK during the Acknowledge
sequence in order to initiate the internal write cycle.

FIGURE 4-7: WRITE STATUS REGISTER COMMAND SEQUENCE
Note: The WRSR instruction must be termi-
nated with a NoMAK following the data

point, the command will be considered
invalid, and the device will go into Idle
mode without responding with a SAK or
executing the command.

4.7 Erase All (ERAL) Instruction
The ERAL instruction allows the user to write ‘0x00’ to
the entire memory array with one command. Note that
the write enable latch (WEL) must first be set by issuing
the WREN instruction.
Once the write enable latch is set, the user may pro-
ceed with issuing a ERAL instruction (including the
header and device address bytes). Immediately after
the NoMAK bit has been transmitted by the master, the
internal write cycle is initiated, during which time all
words of the memory array are written to ‘0x00’.
The ERAL instruction is ignored if either of the Block
Protect bits (BP0, BP1) are not 0, meaning 1/4, 1/2, or
all of the array is protected.
FIGURE 4-8: ERASE ALL COMMAND SEQUENCE
4.8 Set All (SETAL) Instruction
The SETAL instruction allows the user to write ‘0xFF’
to the entire memory array with one command. Note
that the write enable latch (WEL) must first be set by
issuing the WREN instruction.
Once the write enable latch is set, the user may pro-
ceed with issuing a SETAL instruction (including the
header and device address bytes). Immediately after
the NoMAK bit has been transmitted by the master, the
internal write cycle is initiated, during which time all
words of the memory array are written to ‘0xFF’.
The SETAL instruction is ignored if either of the Block
Protect bits (BP0, BP1) are not 0, meaning 1/4, 1/2, or
all of the array is protected.
FIGURE 4-9: SET ALL COMMAND SEQUENCE
Note: The ERAL instruction must be termi-
nated with a NoMAK following the com-
mand byte. If a NoMAK is not received at
this point, the command will be consid-
ered invalid, and the device will go into
Idle mode without responding with a
SAK or executing the command.

5.0 DATA PROTECTION
The following protection has been implemented to
prevent inadvertent writes to the array:
• The Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset on power-
up
•A Write Enable (
WREN) instruction must be issued
to set the write enable latch
• After a write, ERAL, SETAL, or WRSR command,
the write enable latch is reset
• Commands to access the array or write to the
status register are ignored during an internal write
cycle and programming is not affected
6.0 POWER-ON STATE
The 11XX powers on in the following state:
• The device is in low-power Shutdown mode,
requiring a low-to-high transition on SCIO to enter
Idle mode
• The Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset
• The internal Address Pointer is undefined
• A low-to-high transition, standby pulse and subse-
quent high-to-low transition on SCIO (the first low
pulse of the header) are required to enter the
active state
