Write to Memory Array (WRITE)

As shown in Figure 13., 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 after the rising edge of Serial Clock

(C) that latches the last data bit, and before the

next rising edge of Serial Clock (C) occurs any-

where on the bus. In the case of Figure 13., this

occurs after the eighth bit of the data byte has

been latched in, indicating that the instruction is

being used to write a single byte. The self-timed

(as specified in Table 18. to Table 22.), 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 14., the next byte of input

data is shifted in. In this way, all the bytes from the

given address to the end of the same page can be

programmed in a single instruction.

If Chip Select (S) still continues to be driven Low,

the next byte of input data is shifted in, and is used

to overwrite the byte at the start of the current

page.

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 rising edge of Serial Clock

(C) that latches the last data bit, and before

the next rising edge of Serial Clock (C) occurs

anywhere on the bus)

–

if Write Protect (W) is Low or if the addressed

page is in the region protected by the Block

Protect (BP1 and BP0) bits.

Note: Depending on the memory size, as shown in Table 6., the most significant address bits are Don’t Care.
