SPI Serial E2PROM With Block LockTM Protection
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The X25320 is a CMOS 32768-bit serial E2PROM,
internally organized as 4K x 8. The X25320 features a
•2MHz Clock Rate
•SPI Modes (0,0 & 1,1)
•4K X 8 Bits
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and software protocol
allowing operation on a simple three-wire bus. The bus
— 32 Byte Page Mode
•Low Power CMOS
signals are a clock input (SCK) plus separate data in (SI)
and data out (SO) lines. Access to the device is con-
—<1µA Standby Current
— <5mA Active Current During Write
•2.7V To 5.5V Power Supply
•Block Lock Protection
— Protect 1/4, 1/2 or all of E2PROM Array
•Built-in Inadvertent Write Protection
trolled through a chip select (CS) input, allowing any
number of devices to share the same bus.
The X25320 also features two additional inputs that
provide the end user with added flexibility. By asserting
the HOLD input, the X25320 will ignore transitions on its
inputs, thus allowing the host to service higher priority
— Power-Up/Power-Down protection circuitry
— Write Enable Latch
interrupts. The WP input can be used as a hardwire input to
the X25320 disabling all write attempts to the status
— Write Protect Pin
•Self-Timed Write Cycle
register, thus providing a mechanism for limiting end user
capability of altering 0, 1/4, 1/2 or all of the memory.
— 5ms Write Cycle Time (Typical)
•High Reliability
— Endurance: 100,000 cycles
— Data Retention: 100 Years
The X25320 utilizes Xicor’s proprietary Direct Write™ cell,
providing a minimum endurance of 100,000 cycles
and a minimum data retention of 100 years.
— ESD protection: 2000V on all pins
•8-Lead PDlP Package
•8-Lead SOIC Package
•14-Lead TSSOP Package
