READ

The READ command reads ReRAM memory cell array data. Arbitrary 24 bits address and op-code of READ

are input to SI. The 4-bit upper address bit is invalid. Then, 8-cycle clock is input to SCK. SO is output

synchronously to the falling edge of SCK. While reading, the SI value is invalid. When CS is risen, the READ

command is completed, but keeps on reading with automatic address increment which is enabled by con-

tinuously sending clocks to SCK in unit of 8 cycles before CS rising. When it reaches the most significant

address, it rolls over to the starting address, and reading cycle keeps on infinitely.



WRITE

The WRITE command writes data to ReRAM memory cell array. WRITE op-code, arbitrary 24 bits of address

and 8 bits of writing data are input to SI. The 4-bit upper address bit is invalid.

During the CS is low, input writing data are temporary saved in the data register. The maximum writing data

size is 256 bytes during this CS = low period. If the input writing data are more than 8 bits, it is possible to

continue writing with automatic address increment. When it reaches the most significant address, it rolls

over to the starting address, and writing cycle can be continued up to 256 bytes (which is the size of data

register). Data exceed 256 bytes can not be written.

After rising edge of CS, MB85AS8MT starts writing operation to nonvolatile memory and set WIP bit in status

register to “1”. After this writing operation has finished, reset this WIP bit from “1” to “0”. Although the RDSR

command is executable for WIP polling during this writing process, any other commands will not be per-

formed.
