AT25HP256/512

1113L–SEEPR–3/06

The AT25HP256/512 is enabled through the Chip Select pin (CS) and accessed via a 3-

wire interface consisting of Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and Serial

Clock (SCK). All programming cycles are completely self-timed, and no separate erase

cycle is required before write.

Block Write protection is enabled by programming the status register with top ¼, top ½

or entire array of write protection. Separate Program Enable and Program Disable

instructions are provided for additional data protection. Hardware data protection is pro-

vided via the WP pin to protect against inadvertent write attempts to the status register.

The HOLD pin may be used to suspend any serial communication without resetting the

serial sequence.
