FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The X25330 is a CMOS 32K-bit serial E2PROM, internally
organized as 4K x 8. The X25330 features a
•5MHz Clock Rate
•Low Power CMOS
<1µA Standby Current
<5mA Active Current
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and software protocol
allowing operation on a simple three-wire bus. The bus
•2.5V To 5.5V Power Supply
signals are a clock input (SCK) plus separate data in (SI)
and data out (SO) lines. Access to the device is
•SPI Modes (0,0 & 1,1)
•4K X 8 Bits
32 Byte Page Mode
controlled through a chip select (CS) input, allowing any
number of devices to share the same bus.
•Block Lock™ Protection
Protect 1/4, 1/2 or all of E2PROM Array
•Programmable Hardware Write Protection
In-Circuit Programmable ROM Mode
•Built-in Inadvertent Write Protection
The X25330 also features two additional inputs that
provide the end user with added flexibility. By
asserting the HOLD input, the X25330 will ignore tran-
sitions on its inputs, thus allowing the host to service
higher priority interrupts. The WP input can be used as a
hardwire input to the X25330 disabling all write
Power-Up/Down protection circuitry
Write Enable Latch
attempts to the status register, thus providing a mech-
anism for limiting end user capability of altering 0, 1/4,
1/2 or all of the memory.
Write Protect Pin
•Self-Timed Write Cycle
5ms Write Cycle Time (Typical)
•High Reliability
The X25330 utilizes Xicor’s proprietary Direct WriteTM cell,
providing a minimum endurance of 100,000
cycles and a minimum data retention of 100 years.
Endurance: 100,000 cycles
Data Retention: 100 Years
ESD protection: 2000V on all pins
