CAT25C01/02/04/08/16
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PIN DESCRIPTION
The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 supports the SPI bus data
transmission protocol. The synchronous Serial Periph-
eral Interface (SPI) helps the CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 to
interface directly with many of today’s popular
microcontrollers. The CAT25C01/02/04/08/16 contains
an8-bitinstructionregister. (Theinstructionset andthe
operation codes are detailed in the instruction set table)
SI: Serial Input
SI is the serial data input pin. This pin is used to input all
opcodes, byte addresses, and data to be written to the
25C01/02/04/08/16. Input data is latched on the rising
edge of the serial clock for SPI modes (0, 0 & 1, 1).
SO: Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the 25C01/02/04/08/16. During a
read cycle, data is shifted out on the falling edge of the
serial clock for SPI modes (0,0 & 1,1).
After the device is selected with CS going low, the first
byte will be received. The part is accessed via the SI pin,
with data being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK.

the operation to be performed.
SCK: Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to synchro-
nize the communication between the microcontroller
