The X68C64 is an 8K x 8 E2PROM fabricated with advanced CMOS Textured Poly Floating Gate Technology. The X68C64 features a Multiplexed Address and Data bus allowing a direct interface to a variety of popular single-chip microcontrollers operating in expanded multiplexed mode without the need for additional interface circuitry. The X68C64 is internally configured as two independent 4K x 8 memory arrays. This feature provides the ability to perform nonvolatile memory updates in one array and continue operation out of code stored in the other array; effectively eliminating the need for an auxiliary memory device for code storage. To write to the X68C64, a three-byte command sequence must precede the byte(s) being written. The X68C64 also provides a second generation software data protection scheme called Block Protect. Block Protect can provide write lockout of the entire device or selected 1K blocks. There are eight 1K x 8 blocks that can be write protected individually in any combination required by the user. Block Protect, in addition to Write Control input, allows the different segments of the memory to have varying degrees of alterability in normal system operation.

X68C64
PIN DESCRIPTIONS Address/Data (A/D0­A/D7) Multiplexed low-order addresses and data. The addresses flow into the device while AS is HIGH. After AS transitions from a HIGH to LOW the addresses are latched. Once the addresses are latched these pins input data or output data depending on E, R/W, and CE. Addresses (A8­A12) High order addresses flow into the device when AS is HIGH and are latched when AS goes LOW. Chip Enable (CE) The Chip Enable input must be HIGH to enable all read/ write operations. When CE is LOW and AS is LOW, the X68C64 is placed in the low power standby mode. Enable (E) When used with a MC6801 or MC6803, the E input is tied directly to the E output of the microcontroller. Read/Write (R/W) W When used with a MC6801 or MC6803, the R/W input is tied directly to the R/W output of the microcontroller. Address Strobe (AS) Addresses flow through the latches to address decoders when AS is HIGH and are latched when AS transitions from a HIGH to LOW. SEL Device Select (SEL SEL) Must be connected to VSS. Write Control (WC WC) WC The Write Control allows external circuitry to abort a page load cycle once it has been initiated. This input is useful in applications in which a power failure or processor RESET could interrupt a page load cycle. In this case, the microcontroller might drive all signals HIGH, causing bad data to be latched into the E2PROM. If the Write Control input is driven HIGH (before tTBLC Max) after Read/Write (R/W) goes HIGH, the write cycle will be aborted. When WC is LOW (tied to VSS) the X68C64 will be enabled to perform write operations. When WC is HIGH normal read operations may be performed, but all attempts to write to the device will be disabled.

X68C64
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The X68C64 is a highly integrated peripheral device for a wide variety of single-chip microcontrollers. The X68C64 provides 8K bytes of E2PROM which can be used either for Program Storage, Data Storage, or a combination of both in systems based upon Von Neumann (68XX) architectures. The X68C64 incorporates the interface circuitry normally needed to decode the control signals and demultiplex the Address/Data bus to provide a "Seamless" interface. The interface inputs on the X68C64 are configured such that it is possible to directly connect them to the proper interface signals of the appropriate single-chip microcontroller. The X68C64 is internally organized as two independent planes of 4K bytes of memory with the A12 input selecting which of the two planes of memory are to be accessed. While the processor is executing code out of one plane, write operations can take place in the other plane, allowing the processor to continue execution of code out of the X68C64 during a byte or page write to the device. The X68C64 also features an advanced implementation of the Software Data Protection scheme, called Block Protect, which allows the device to be broken into 8 independent sections of 1K bytes. Each of these sections can be independently enabled for write operations; thereby allowing certain sections of the device to be secured so that updates can only occur in a controlled environment (e.g. in an automotive application, only at an authorized service center). The desired set-up configuration is stored in a nonvolatile register, ensuring the configuration data will be maintained after the device is powered down. The X68C64 also features a Write Control input (WC), which serves as an external control over the completion of a previously initiated page load cycle. The X68C64 also features the industry standard E2PROM characteristics such a byte or page mode write and Toggle Bit Polling. DEVICE OPERATION Motorola 68XX operation requires the microcontroller's AS, E, and R/W outputs tied to the X68C64 AS, E, and R/W inputs respectively. The falling edge of AS will latch the addresses for both a read and write operation. The state of R/W output determines the operation to be performed, with the E signal acting as a data strobe. If R/W is HIGH and CE HIGH (read operation), data will be output on A/D0­A/D7 after E transitions HIGH. If R/W is LOW and CE is HIGH (write operation), data presented at A/D0­A/D7 will be strobed into the X68C64 on the HIGH to LOW transition of E. Typical Application

PAGE WRITE OPERATION Regardless of the microcontroller employed, the X68C64 supports page mode write operations. This allows the microcontroller to write from one to thirty-two bytes of data to the X68C64. Each individual write within a page write operation must conform to the byte write timing requirements. The rising edge of E starts a timer delaying the internal programming cycle 100µs. Therefore, each successive write operation must begin within 100µs of the last byte written. The following waveforms illustrate the sequence and timing requirements.

Notes: (1) For each successive write within a page write cycle A5­A12 must be the same. (2) Although it is not illustrated, the microcontroller may interleave read operations between the individual byte writes within the page write operation. Two responses are possible. a. Reading from the same plane being written (A12 of Read = A12 of Write) is effectively a Toggle Bit Polling operation. b. Reading from the opposite plane being written (A12 of Read A12 of Write) true data will be returned, facilitating the use of a single memory component as both program and data storage.

X68C64
Toggle Bit Polling Because the X68C64 typical nonvolatile write cycle time is less than the specified 5ms, Toggle Bit Polling has been provided to determine the early completion of write. During the internal programming cycle, I/O6 will toggle from HIGH to LOW and LOW to HIGH on subsequent attempts to read the device. When the internal Toggle Bit Polling E Control

cycle is complete, the toggling will cease and the device will be accessible for additional read or write operations. Due to the dual plane architecture, reads for polling must occur in the plane that is being written; that is, the state of A12 during a write must match the state of A12 during Toggle Bit Polling.

DATA PROTECTION The X68C64 provides two levels of data protection through software control. There is a global software data protection feature similar to the industry standard for E2PROMs and a new Block Protect write lockout protection providing a secondary level of data security. Writing with SDP
WRITE AA TO X555

Setting write lockout is accomplished by writing a fivebyte command sequence, opening access to the Block Protect Register (BPR). After the fifth byte is written, the user writes to the BPR, selecting which blocks to protect or unprotect. All write operations, both the command sequence and writing the data to the BPR, must conform to the page write timing requirements. Block Protect Register Format

Software Data Protection Software Data Protection (SDP) is employed to protect the entire array against inadvertent writes. To write to the X68C64, a three-byte command sequence must precede the byte(s) being written. All write operations, both the command sequence and any data write operations, must conform to the page write timing requirements. Block Protect Write Lockout The X68C64 provides a secondary level of data security referred to as Block Protect write lockout. This is accessed through an extension of the SDP command sequence. Block Protect allows the user to lockout writes to any 1K x 8 blocks of memory. Unlike SDP which prevents inadvertent writes, but still allows easy system access to writing the memory, Block Protect will lockout all attempts unless it is specifically disabled by the host. This could be used to set a higher level of protection in a system where a portion of the memory is used for Program Storage and another portion is used as Data Storage.
