SUMMARY DESCRIPTIONThese electrically erasable programmable memo-
ry (EEPROM) devices are accessed by a high
speed SPI-compatible bus. The memory array is
organized as 2048 x 8 bit (M95160), and 1024 x 8
bit (M95080).
The device is accessed by a simple serial interface
that is SPI-compatible. The bus signals are C, D
and Q, as shown in Table 2. and Figure 2..
The device is selected when Chip Select (S) is tak-
en Low. Communications with the device can be
interrupted using Hold (HOLD).

Connections (Top View)Note: See PACKAGE MECHANICAL section for package dimen-
sions, and how to identify pin-1.
Table 2. Signal Names
M95160, M95080
SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONDuring all operations, VCC must be held stable and
within the specified valid range: VCC(min) to
VCC(max).
All of the input and output signals must be held
High or Low (according to voltages of VIH, VOH, VIL
or VOL, as specified in Table 14. to Table 18.).
These signals are described next.
Serial Data Output (Q). This output signal is
used to transfer data serially out of the device.
Data is shifted out on the falling edge of Serial
Clock (C).
Serial Data Input (D). This input signal is used to
transfer data serially into the device. It receives in-
structions, addresses, and the data to be written.
Values are latched on the rising edge of Serial
Clock (C).
Serial Clock (C). This input signal provides the
timing of the serial interface. Instructions, address-
es, or data present at Serial Data Input (D) are
latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data
on Serial Data Output (Q) changes after the falling
edge of Serial Clock (C).
Chip Select (S). When this input signal is High,
the device is deselected and Serial Data Output
(Q) is at high impedance. Unless an internal Write
cycle is in progress, the device will be in the Stand-
by Power mode. Driving Chip Select (S) Low se-
lects the device, placing it in the Active Power
mode.
After Power-up, a falling edge on Chip Select (S)
is required prior to the start of any instruction.
Hold (HOLD). The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to
pause any serial communications with the device
without deselecting the device.
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output
(Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (D)
and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care.
To start the Hold condition, the device must be se-
lected, with Chip Select (S) driven Low.
Write Protect (W). The main purpose of this in-
put signal is to freeze the size of the area of mem-
ory that is protected against Write instructions (as
specified by the values in the BP1 and BP0 bits of
the Status Register).
This pin must be driven either High or Low, and
must be stable during all write instructions.

CONNECTING TO THE SPI BUSThese devices are fully compatible with the SPI
protocol.
All instructions, addresses and input data bytes
are shifted in to the device, most significant bit
first. The Serial Data Input (D) is sampled on the
first rising edge of the Serial Clock (C) after Chip
Select (S) goes Low.
All output data bytes are shifted out of the device,
most significant bit first. The Serial Data Output
(Q) is latched on the first falling edge of the Serial
Clock (C) after the instruction (such as the Read
from Memory Array and Read Status Register in-
structions) have been clocked into the device.
Figure 4. shows three devices, connected to an
MCU, on a SPI bus. Only one device is selected at
a time, so only one device drives the Serial Data
Output (Q) line at a time, all the others being high
impedance.
Figure 4. Bus Master and Memory Devices on the SPI BusNote: The Write Protect (W) and Hold (HOLD) signals should be driven, High or Low as appropriate.
M95160, M95080
SPI ModesThese devices can be driven by a microcontroller
with its SPI peripheral running in either of the two
following modes: CPOL=0, CPHA=0 CPOL=1, CPHA=1
For these two modes, input data is latched in on
the rising edge of Serial Clock (C), and output data
is available from the falling edge of Serial Clock
(C).
The difference between the two modes, as shown
in Figure 5., is the clock polarity when the bus
master is in Stand-by mode and not transferring
data: C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)

OPERATING FEATURES
Power-upWhen the power supply is turned on, VCC rises
from VSS to VCC.
During this time, the Chip Select (S) must be al-
lowed to follow the VCC voltage. It must not be al-
lowed to float, but should be connected to VCC via
a suitable pull-up resistor.
As a built in safety feature, Chip Select (S) is edge
sensitive as well as level sensitive. After Power-
up, the device does not become selected until a
falling edge has first been detected on Chip Select
(S). This ensures that Chip Select (S) must have
been High, prior to going Low to start the first op-
eration.
Power On Reset: VCC Lock-Out Write ProtectIn order to prevent data corruption and inadvertent
Write instructions during Power-up, a Power On
Reset (POR) circuit is included. The internal reset
is held active until VCC has reached the Power On
Reset (POR) threshold voltage, and all operations
are disabled – the device will not respond to any
instruction. In the same way, when VCC drops from
the operating voltage, below the Power On Reset
(POR) threshold voltage, all operations are dis-
abled and the device will not respond to any in-
struction.
A stable and valid VCC must be applied before ap-
plying any logic signal.
Power-downAt Power-down, the device must be deselected.
Chip Select (S) should be allowed to follow the
voltage applied on VCC.
Active Power and Standby Power ModesWhen Chip Select (S) is Low, the device is select-
ed, and in the Active Power mode. The device
consumes ICC, as specified in Table 14. to Table
When Chip Select (S) is High, the device is dese-
lected. If an Erase/Write cycle is not currently in
progress, the device then goes in to the Standby
Power mode, and the device consumption drops
to ICC1.
Hold ConditionThe Hold (HOLD) signal is used to pause any se-
rial communications with the device without reset-
ting the clocking sequence.
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output
(Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (D)
and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care.
To enter the Hold condition, the device must be
selected, with Chip Select (S) Low.
Normally, the device is kept selected, for the whole
duration of the Hold condition. Deselecting the de-
vice while it is in the Hold condition, has the effect
of resetting the state of the device, and this mech-
anism can be used if it is required to reset any pro-
cesses that had been in progress.
The Hold condition starts when the Hold (HOLD)
signal is driven Low at the same time as Serial
Clock (C) already being Low.
The Hold condition ends when the Hold (HOLD)
signal is driven High at the same time as Serial
Clock (C) already being Low.

Status RegisterFigure 6. shows the position of the Status Register
in the control logic of the device. The Status Reg-
ister contains a number of status and control bits
that can be read or set (as appropriate) by specific
instructions.
WIP bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates
whether the memory is busy with a Write or Write
Status Register cycle.
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indi-
cates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch.
BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits
are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to
be software protected against Write instructions.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the
Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register
Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W)
signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware
Protected mode. In this mode, the non-volatile bits
of the Status Register (SRWD, BP1, BP0) become
read-only bits.
Table 3. Status Register Format
Data Protection and Protocol ControlNon-volatile memory devices can be used in envi-
ronments that are particularly noisy, and within ap-
plications that could experience problems if
memory bytes are corrupted. Consequently, the
device features the following data protection
mechanisms: Write and Write Status Register instructions
are checked that they consist of a number of
clock pulses that is a multiple of eight, before
they are accepted for execution. All instructions that modify data must be
preceded by a Write Enable (WREN)
instruction to set the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state
by the following events: Power-up Write Disable (WRDI) instruction
completion Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction
completion Write (WRITE) instruction completion The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits allow part of
the memory to be configured as read-only.
This is the Software Protected Mode (SPM). The Write Protect (W) signal allows the Block
Protect (BP1, BP0) bits to be protected. This is
the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM).
For any instruction to be accepted, and executed,
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the rising
edge of Serial Clock (C) for the last bit of the in-
struction, and before the next rising edge of Serial
Clock (C).
Two points need to be noted in the previous sen-
tence: The ‘last bit of the instruction’ can be the
eighth bit of the instruction code, or the eighth
bit of a data byte, depending on the instruction
(except for Read Status Register (RDSR) and
Read (READ) instructions). The ‘next rising edge of Serial Clock (C)’ might
(or might not) be the next bus transaction for
some other device on the SPI bus.

INSTRUCTIONSEach instruction starts with a single-byte code, as
summarized in Table 5..
If an invalid instruction is sent (one not contained
in Table 5.), the device automatically deselects it-
self.
Table 5. Instruction Set

Write Enable (WREN)The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit must be set pri-
or to each WRITE and WRSR instruction. The only
way to do this is to send a Write Enable instruction
to the device.
As shown in Figure 7., to send this instruction to
the device, Chip Select (S) is driven Low, and the
bits of the instruction byte are shifted in, on Serial
Data Input (D). The device then enters a wait
state. It waits for a the device to be deselected, by
Chip Select (S) being driven High.
Figure 7. Write Enable (WREN) Sequence
Write Disable (WRDI)One way of resetting the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) bit is to send a Write Disable instruction to
the device.
As shown in Figure 8., to send this instruction to
the device, Chip Select (S) is driven Low, and the
bits of the instruction byte are shifted in, on Serial
Data Input (D).
The device then enters a wait state. It waits for a
the device to be deselected, by Chip Select (S) be-
ing driven High.
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit, in fact, be-
comes reset by any of the following events:
–Power-up WRDI instruction execution WRSR instruction completion WRITE instruction completion.
Figure 8. Write Disable (WRDI) Sequence
M95160, M95080
Read Status Register (RDSR)The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction al-
lows the Status Register to be read. The Status
Register may be read at any time, even while a
Write or Write Status Register cycle is in progress.
When one of these cycles is in progress, it is rec-
ommended to check the Write In Progress (WIP)
bit before sending a new instruction to the device.
It is also possible to read the Status Register con-
tinuously, as shown in Figure 9..
The status and control bits of the Status Register
are as follows:
WIP bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates
whether the memory is busy with a Write or Write
Status Register cycle. When set to 1, such a cycle
is in progress, when reset to 0 no such cycle is in
progress.
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indi-
cates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch.
When set to 1 the internal Write Enable Latch is
set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch
is reset and no Write or Write Status Register in-
struction is accepted.
BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits
are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to
be software protected against Write instructions.
These bits are written with the Write Status Regis-
ter (WRSR) instruction. When one or both of the
Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits is set to 1, the rele-
vant memory area (as defined in Table 3.) be-
comes protected against Write (WRITE)
instructions. The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits
can be written provided that the Hardware Protect-
ed mode has not been set.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the
Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register
Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W)
signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware
Protected mode (when the Status Register Write
Disable (SRWD) bit is set to 1, and Write Protect
(W) is driven Low). In this mode, the non-volatile
bits of the Status Register (SRWD, BP1, BP0) be-
come read-only bits and the Write Status Register
(WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted for exe-
cution.

M95160, M95080
Write Status Register (WRSR)The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction al-
lows new values to be written to the Status Regis-
ter. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction must previously have been ex-
ecuted. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction
has been decoded and executed, the device sets
the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is
entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed
by the instruction code and the data byte on Serial
Data Input (D).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 10..
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has
no effect on b6, b5, b4, b1 and b0 of the Status
Register. b6, b5 and b4 are always read as 0.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the rising
edge of Serial Clock (C) that latches in the eighth
bit of the data byte, and before the next rising edge
of Serial Clock (C). Otherwise, the Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. As
soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-
timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration
is tW) is initiated. While the Write Status Register
cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still
be read to check the value of the Write In Progress
(WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 dur-
ing the self-timed Write Status Register cycle, and
is 0 when it is completed. When the cycle is com-
pleted, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction al-
lows the user to change the values of the Block
Protect (BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the
area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined
in Table 3..
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also
allows the user to set or reset the Status Register
Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the
Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register
Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W)
signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware
Protected Mode (HPM). The Write Status Register
(WRSR) instruction is not executed once the Hard-
ware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.
The contents of the Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) and Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits are fro-
zen at their current values from just before the
start of the execution of Write Status Register
(WRSR) instruction. The new, updated, values
take effect at the moment of completion of the ex-
ecution of Write Status Register (WRSR) instruc-
tion.
Table 6. Protection ModesNote:1. As defined by the values in the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in Table 6..
The protection features of the device are summa-
rized in Table 4..
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bit of the Status Register is 0 (its initial delivery
state), it is possible to write to the Status Register
provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has
previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) in-
struction, regardless of the whether Write Protect
(W) is driven High or Low.
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bit of the Status Register is set to 1, two cases
need to be considered, depending on the state of
Write Protect (W): If Write Protect (W) is driven High, it is
possible to write to the Status Register
provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit
has previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction. If Write Protect (W) is driven Low, it is not
possible to write to the Status Register even if
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has
previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction. (Attempts to write to the
Status Register are rejected, and are not
accepted for execution). As a consequence,
all the data bytes in the memory area that are
software protected (SPM) by the Block Protect
M95160, M95080(BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, are
also hardware protected against data
modification.
Regardless of the order of the two events, the
Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can be entered: by setting the Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit after driving Write Protect (W) Low or by driving Write Protect (W) Low after
setting the Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit.
The only way to exit the Hardware Protected Mode
(HPM) once entered is to pull Write Protect (W)
High.
If Write Protect (W) is permanently tied High, the
Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can never be
activated, and only the Software Protected Mode
(SPM), using the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of
the Status Register, can be used.

Read from Memory Array (READ)As shown in Figure 11., to send this instruction to
the device, Chip Select (S) is first driven Low. The
bits of the instruction byte and address bytes are
then shifted in, on Serial Data Input (D). The ad-
dress is loaded into an internal address register,
and the byte of data at that address is shifted out,
on Serial Data Output (Q).
If Chip Select (S) continues to be driven Low, the
internal address register is automatically incre-
mented, and the byte of data at the new address is
shifted out.
When the highest address is reached, the address
counter rolls over to zero, allowing the Read cycle
to be continued indefinitely. The whole memory
can, therefore, be read with a single READ instruc-
tion.
The Read cycle is terminated by driving Chip Se-
lect (S) High. The rising edge of the Chip Select
(S) signal can occur at any time during the cycle.
The first byte addressed can be any byte within
any page.
The instruction is not accepted, and is not execut-
ed, if a Write cycle is currently in progress.
Figure 11. Read from Memory Array (READ) SequenceNote: Depending on the memory size, as shown in Table 7., the most significant address bits are Don’t Care.
M95160, M95080
Write to Memory Array (WRITE)As shown in Figure 12., to send this instruction to
the device, Chip Select (S) is first driven Low. The
bits of the instruction byte, address byte, and at
least one data byte are then shifted in, on Serial
Data Input (D).
The instruction is terminated by driving Chip Se-
lect (S) High at a byte boundary of the input data.
In the case of Figure 12., this occurs after the
eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in, in-
dicating that the instruction is being used to write
a single byte. The self-timed Write cycle starts,
and continues for a period tWC (as specified in Ta-
ble 19. to Table 23.), at the end of which the Write
in Progress (WIP) bit is reset to 0.
If, though, Chip Select (S) continues to be driven
Low, as shown in Figure 13., the next byte of input
data is shifted in, so that more than a single byte,
starting from the given address towards the end of
the same page, can be written in a single internal
Write cycle.
Each time a new data byte is shifted in, the least
significant bits of the internal address counter are
incremented. If the number of data bytes sent to
the device exceeds the page boundary, the inter-
nal address counter rolls over to the beginning of
the page, and the previous data there are overwrit-
ten with the incoming data. (The page size of
these devices is 32 bytes).
The instruction is not accepted, and is not execut-
ed, under the following conditions: if the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has not
been set to 1 (by executing a Write Enable
instruction just before) if a Write cycle is already in progress if the device has not been deselected, by Chip
Select (S) being driven High, at a byte
boundary (after the eighth bit, b0, of the last
data byte that has been latched in) if the addressed page is in the region
protected by the Block Protect (BP1 and BP0)
bits.

POWER-UP AND DELIVERY STATE
Power-up StateAfter Power-up, the device is in the following state: Standby Power mode deselected (after Power-up, a falling edge is
required on Chip Select (S) before any
instructions can be started). not in the Hold Condition the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset to 0 Write In Progress (WIP) is reset to 0
The SRWD, BP1 and BP0 bits of the Status Reg-
ister are unchanged from the previous power-
down (they are non-volatile bits).
Initial Delivery StateThe device is delivered with the memory array set
at all 1s (FFh). The Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) and Block Protect (BP1 and BP0) bits are
initialized to 0.
