Description M93C46, M93C56, M93C66, M93C76, M93C86
6/34 Doc ID 4997 Rev 12
The M93Cx6 is accessed by a set of instructions, as summarized in Table 4, and in more
detail in Table 5: Instruction set for the M93C46 to Table 7: Instruction set for the M93C76
and M93C86).
A Read Data from Memory (READ) instruction loads the address of the first byte or word to
be read in an internal address register. The data at this address is then clocked out serially.
The address register is automatically incremented after the data is output and, if Chip Select
Input (S) is held High, the M93Cx6 can output a sequential stream of data bytes or words. In
this way, the memory can be read as a data stream from eight to 16384 bits long (in the
case of the M93C86), or continuously (the address counter automatically rolls over to 00h
when the highest address is reached).
Programming is internally self-timed (the external clock signal on Serial Clock (C) may be
stopped or left running after the start of a Write cycle) and does not require an Erase cycle
prior to the Write instruction. The Write instruction writes 8 or 16 bits at a time into one of the
byte or word locations of the M93Cx6. After the start of the programming cycle, a
Busy/Ready signal is available on Serial Data Output (Q) when Chip Select Input (S) is
driven High.
An internal Power-on Data Protection mechanism in the M93Cx6 inhibits the device when
the supply is too low.

Doc ID 4997 Rev 12 7/34
2 Connecting to the serial bus
Figure 3 shows an example of three memory devices connected to an MCU, on a serial bus.
Only one device is selected at a time, so only one device drives the Serial Data output (Q)
line at a time, the other devices are high impedance.
The pull-down resistor R (represented in Figure 3) ensures that no device is selected if the
bus master leaves the S line in the high impedance state.
In applications where the bus master may be in a state where all inputs/outputs are high
impedance at the same time (for example, if the bus master is reset during the transmission
of an instruction), the clock line (C) must be connected to an external pull-down resistor so
that, if all inputs/outputs become high impedance, the C line is pulled low (while the S line is
pulled low): this ensures that C does not become high at the same time as S goes low, and
so, that the tSLCH requirement is met. The typical value of R is 100 kΩ.

Operating features M93C46, M93C56, M93C66, M93C76, M93C86
8/34 Doc ID 4997 Rev 12
3 Operating features
3.1 Supply voltage (VCC)
3.1.1 Operating supply voltage (VCC)
Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable VCC voltage
within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range must be applied. In order to secure a stable
DC supply voltage, it is recommended to decouple the VCC line with a suitable capacitor
(usually of the order of 10 nF to 100 nF) close to the VCC/VSS package pins.
This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction
and, for a Write instruction, until the completion of the internal write cycle (tW).
3.1.2 Power-up conditions
When the power supply is turned on, VCC rises from VSS to VCC. During this time, the Chip
Select (S) line is not allowed to float and should be driven to VSS, it is therefore
recommended to connect the S line to VSS via a suitable pull-down resistor.
The VCC rise time must not vary faster than 1 V/µs.
3.1.3 Power-up and device reset
In order to prevent inadvertent Write operations during power-up, a power on reset (POR)
circuit is included. At power-up (continuous rise of VCC), the device does not respond to any
instruction until VCC has reached the power on reset threshold voltage (this threshold is
lower than the minimum VCC operating voltage defined in Table 9: Operating conditions
(M93Cx6), Table 10: Operating conditions (M93Cx6-W) and Table 11: Operating conditions
(M93Cx6-R)).
When VCC passes the POR threshold, the device is reset and is in the following state:
Standby Power mode
deselected (assuming that there is a pull-down resistor on the S line)
3.1.4 Power-down
At power-down (continuous decrease in VCC), as soon as VCC drops from the normal
operating voltage to below the power on reset threshold voltage, the device stops
responding to any instruction sent to it.
During power-down, the device must be deselected and in the Standby Power mode (that is,
there should be no internal Write cycle in progress).
M93C46, M93C56, M93C66, M93C76, M93C86 Memory organization
Doc ID 4997 Rev 12 9/34
4 Memory organization
The M93Cx6 memory is organized either as bytes (x8) or as words (x16). If Organization
Select (ORG) is left unconnected (or connected to VCC) the x16 organization is selected;
when Organization Select (ORG) is connected to Ground (VSS) the x8 organization is
selected. When the M93Cx6 is in Standby mode, Organization Select (ORG) should be set
either to VSS or VCC for minimum power consumption. Any voltage between VSS and VCC
applied to Organization Select (ORG) may increase the Standby current.
Instructions M93C46, M93C56, M93C66, M93C76, M93C86
10/34 Doc ID 4997 Rev 12
5 Instructions
The instruction set of the M93Cx6 devices contains seven instructions, as summarized in
Table 5 to Table 7. Each instruction consists of the following parts, as shown in Figure 4:
READ, WRITE, WEN, WDS sequences:
Each instruction is preceded by a rising edge on Chip Select Input (S) with Serial Clock
(C) being held low.
A start bit, which is the first ‘1’ read on Serial Data Input (D) during the rising edge of
Serial Clock (C).
Two op-code bits, read on Serial Data Input (D) during the rising edge of Serial Clock
(C). (Some instructions also use the first two bits of the address to define the op-code).
The address bits of the byte or word that is to be accessed. For the M93C46, the
address is made up of 6 bits for the x16 organization or 7 bits for the x8 organization
(see Table 5). For the M93C56 and M93C66, the address is made up of 8 bits for the
x16 organization or 9 bits for the x8 organization (see Table 6). For the M93C76 and
M93C86, the address is made up of 10 bits for the x16 organization or 11 bits for the x8
organization (see Table 7).
The M93Cx6 devices are fabricated in CMOS technology and are therefore able to run as
slow as 0 Hz (static input signals) or as fast as the maximum ratings specified in Table 20:
AC characteristics (M93Cx6, device grade 6 or 3) to Table 23: AC characteristics (M93Cx6-
R).

12/34 Doc ID 4997 Rev 12
5.1 Read Data from Memory
The Read Data from Memory (READ) instruction outputs data on Serial Data Output (Q).
When the instruction is received, the op-code and address are decoded, and the data from
the memory is transferred to an output shift register. A dummy 0 bit is output first, followed
by the 8-bit byte or 16-bit word, with the most significant bit first. Output data changes are
triggered by the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). The M93Cx6 automatically increments the
internal address register and clocks out the next byte (or word) as long as the Chip Select
Input (S) is held High. In this case, the dummy 0 bit is not output between bytes (or words)
and a continuous stream of data can be read.
5.2 Write Enable and Write Disable
The Write Enable (WEN) instruction enables the future execution of erase or write
instructions, and the Write Disable (WDS) instruction disables it. When power is first
applied, the M93Cx6 initializes itself so that erase and write instructions are disabled. After
an Write Enable (WEN) instruction has been executed, erasing and writing remains enabled
until an Write Disable (WDS) instruction is executed, or until VCC falls below the power-on
reset threshold voltage. To protect the memory contents from accidental corruption, it is
advisable to issue the Write Disable (WDS) instruction after every write cycle. The Read
Data from Memory (READ) instruction is not affected by the Write Enable (WEN) or Write
Disable (WDS) instructions.

5.3 Erase Byte or Word
The Erase Byte or Word (ERASE) instruction sets the bits of the addressed memory byte (or
word) to 1. Once the address has been correctly decoded, the falling edge of the Chip
Select Input (S) starts the self-timed Erase cycle. The completion of the cycle can be
detected by monitoring the READY/BUSY line, as described in Section 6: READY/BUSY
status.

5.4 Write
For the Write Data to Memory (WRITE) instruction, 8 or 16 data bits follow the op-code and
address bits. These form the byte or word that is to be written. As with the other bits, Serial
Data Input (D) is sampled on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C).
After the last data bit has been sampled, the Chip Select Input (S) must be taken low before
the next rising edge of Serial Clock (C). If Chip Select Input (S) is brought low before or after
this specific time frame, the self-timed programming cycle will not be started, and the
addressed location will not be programmed. The completion of the cycle can be detected by
monitoring the READY/BUSY line, as described later in this document.
Once the Write cycle has been started, it is internally self-timed (the external clock signal on
Serial Clock (C) may be stopped or left running after the start of a Write cycle). The cycle is
automatically preceded by an Erase cycle, so it is unnecessary to execute an explicit erase
instruction before a Write Data to Memory (WRITE) instruction.

1. For the meanings of An and Xn, please see Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7.
5.5 Erase All
The Erase All Memory (ERAL) instruction erases the whole memory (all memory bits are set
to 1). The format of the instruction requires that a dummy address be provided. The Erase
cycle is conducted in the same way as the Erase instruction (ERASE). The completion of
the cycle can be detected by monitoring the READY/BUSY line, as described in Section 6:
READY/BUSY status.

5.6 Write All
As with the Erase All Memory (ERAL) instruction, the format of the Write All Memory with
same Data (WRAL) instruction requires that a dummy address be provided. As with the
Write Data to Memory (WRITE) instruction, the format of the Write All Memory with same
Data (WRAL) instruction requires that an 8-bit data byte, or 16-bit data word, be provided.
This value is written to all the addresses of the memory device. The completion of the cycle
can be detected by monitoring the READY/BUSY line, as described next.

6 READY/BUSY status
While the Write or Erase cycle is underway, for a WRITE, ERASE, WRAL or ERAL
instruction, the Busy signal (Q=0) is returned whenever Chip Select input (S) is driven high.
(Please note, though, that there is an initial delay, of tSLSH, before this status information
becomes available). In this state, the M93Cx6 ignores any data on the bus. When the Write
cycle is completed, and Chip Select Input (S) is driven high, the Ready signal (Q=1)
indicates that the M93Cx6 is ready to receive the next instruction. Serial Data Output (Q)
remains set to 1 until the Chip Select Input (S) is brought low or until a new start bit is
decoded.
7 Initial delivery state
The device is delivered with all bits in the memory array set to 1 (each byte contains FFh).
8 Common I/O operation
Serial Data Output (Q) and Serial Data Input (D) can be connected together, through a
current limiting resistor, to form a common, single-wire data bus. Some precautions must be
taken when operating the memory in this way, mostly to prevent a short circuit current from
flowing when the last address bit (A0) clashes with the first data bit on Serial Data Output
(Q). Please see the application note AN394 for details.
M93C46, M93C56, M93C66, M93C76, M93C86 Clock pulse counter
Doc ID 4997 Rev 12 17/34
9 Clock pulse counter
In a noisy environment, the number of pulses received on Serial Clock (C) may be greater
than the number delivered by the master (the microcontroller). This can lead to a
misalignment of the instruction of one or more bits (as shown in Figure 7) and may lead to
the writing of erroneous data at an erroneous address.
To avoid this problem, the M93Cx6 has an on-chip counter that counts the clock pulses from
the start bit until the falling edge of the Chip Select Input (S). If the number of clock pulses
received is not the number expected, the WRITE, ERASE, ERAL or WRAL instruction is
aborted, and the contents of the memory are not modified.
The number of clock cycles expected for each instruction, and for each member of the
M93Cx6 family, are summarized in Table 5: Instruction set for the M93C46 to Table 7:
Instruction set for the M93C76 and M93C86. For example, a Write Data to Memory (WRITE)
instruction on the M93C56 (or M93C66) expects 20 clock cycles (for the x8 organization)
from the start bit to the falling edge of Chip Select Input (S). That is:
1 Start bit
+ 2 Op-code bits
+ 9 Address bits
+ 8 Data bits
