1. Device Overview:
️· Type: Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory (EEPROM)
️· Interface: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) compatible
️· Sizes:
- M95320: 32 Kbit (4096 x 8 bits)
- M95640: 64 Kbit (8192 x 8 bits)
️· Packaging: Available in ECOPACK® packages (Lead-free and RoHS compliant).
2. Key Signals & Their Functions:
️· C (Serial Clock): Provides timing for the SPI interface.
️· D (Serial Data Input): Input for instructions, addresses, and data to be written.
️· Q (Serial Data Output): Output for data read from the device.
️· S (Chip Select): Selects/deselects the device. Low = Selected, High = Deselected.
️· W (Write Protect): Freezes the size of the memory area protected against writes.
️· HOLD: Pauses communication without deselecting.
️· VCC: Supply Voltage.
️· VSS: Ground.
3. SPI Communication:
️· Data Transfer: Most Significant Bit (MSB) first.
️· Clock Polarity/Phase: Supports two SPI modes:
- CPOL=0, CPHA=0
- CPOL=1, CPHA=1
️· Multiple Devices: Can be connected to a single SPI bus; only one device drives the Q line at a time.
4. Important Considerations & Requirements:
️· Stable VCC: Essential during operation.
️· Signal Levels: Signals must be driven High or Low.
️· Pull-up/Pull-down Resistors: Needed on the bus for proper operation, especially for the S (Chip Select) and Clock (C) lines.
5. Key Features & Benefits:
️· High-Speed SPI Interface: Allows for fast data access.
️· ECOPACK Packaging: Environmentally friendly.
️· Flexibility: Available in different memory sizes to suit various applications.
️· Write Protection: Protects critical data from accidental modification.
