AT25080/160/320/640

3260D–SEEPR–9/03

Functional
Description

The AT25080/160/320/640 is designed to interface directly with the synchronous serial periph-
eral interface (SPI) of the 6805 and 68HC11 series of microcontrollers.

The AT25080/160/320/640 utilizes an 8-bit instruction register. The list of instructions and their
operation codes are contained in Table 1. All instructions, addresses, and data are transferred
with the MSB first and start with a high-to-low CS transition.

WRITE ENABLE (WREN): The device will power-up in the write disable state when V

CC

is

applied. All programming instructions must therefore be preceded by a Write Enable
instruction.

WRITE DISABLE (WRDI): To protect the device against inadvertent writes, the Write Disable
instruction disables all programming modes. The WRDI instruction is independent of the sta-
tus of the WP pin.

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 deter-
mined by the RDSR instruction. Similarly, the Block Write Protection bits indicate the extent of
protection employed. These bits are set by using the WRSR instruction.

Bit

Definition

Bit 0 (RDY)

Bit 0 = 0 (RDY) indicates the device is READY. Bit 0 = 1 indicates the write cycle is
in progress.

Bit 1 (WEN)

Bit 1= 0 indicates the device is not WRITE ENABLED. Bit 1 = 1 indicates the
device is WRITE ENABLED.

Bit 2 (BP0)

See Table 4 on page 8.

Bit 3 (BP1)

See Table 4 on page 8.

Bits 4 - 6 are 0s when device is not in an internal write cycle.

Bit 7 (WPEN)

See Table 5 on page 8.

Bits 0 - 7 are 1s during an internal write cycle.
