7 / 14 page  FM25L256B Rev. 3.0 July 2007 Page 7 of 14 is internally set and cleared via the WREN and WRDI commands, respectively. BP1 and BP0 are memory block write protection bits. They specify portions of memory that are write protected as shown in the following table. Table 3. Block Memory Write Protection BP1 BP0 Protected Address Range 0 0 None 0 1 6000h to 7FFFh (upper ¼) 1 0 4000h to 7FFFh (upper ½) 1 1 0000h to 7FFFh (all) The BP1 and BP0 bits and the Write Enable Latch are the only mechanisms that protect the memory from writes. The remaining write protection features protect inadvertent changes to the block protect bits. The WPEN bit controls the effect of the hardware /WP pin. When WPEN is low, the /WP pin is ignored. When WPEN is high, the /WP pin controls write access to the status register. Thus the Status Register is write protected if WPEN=1 and /WP=0. This scheme provides a write protection mechanism, which can prevent software from writing the memory under any circumstances. This occurs if the BP1 and BP0 are set to 1, the WPEN bit is set to 1, and /WP is set to 0. This occurs because the block protect bits prevent writing memory and the /WP signal in hardware prevents altering the block protect bits (if WPEN is high). Therefore in this condition, hardware must be involved in allowing a write operation. The following table summarizes the write protection conditions. Table 4. Write Protection WEL WPEN /WP Protected Blocks Unprotected Blocks Status Register 0 X X Protected Protected Protected 1 0 X Protected Unprotected Unprotected 1 1 0 Protected Unprotected Protected 1 1 1 Protected Unprotected Unprotected Memory Operation The SPI interface, which is capable of a relatively high clock frequency, highlights the fast write capability of the FRAM technology. Unlike SPI-bus EEPROMs, the FM25L256B can perform sequential writes at bus speed. No page register is needed and any number of sequential writes may be performed. Write Operation All writes to the memory array begin with a WREN op-code. The next op-code is the WRITE instruction. This op-code is followed by a two-byte address value. The upper bit of the address is a “don’t care”. In total, 15-bits specify the address of the first data byte of the write operation. Subsequent bytes are data and they are written sequentially. Addresses are incremented internally as long as the bus master continues to issue clocks. If the last address of 7FFFh is reached, the counter will roll over to 0000h. Data is written MSB first. A write operation is shown in Figure 9. Unlike EEPROMs, any number of bytes can be written sequentially and each byte is written to memory immediately after it is clocked in (after the 8 th clock). The rising edge of /CS terminates a WRITE op-code operation. Asserting /WP active in the middle of a write operation will have no affect until the next falling edge of /CS. Read Operation After the falling edge of /CS, the bus master can issue a READ op-code. Following this instruction is a two- byte address value. The upper bit of the address is a don’t care. In total, 15-bits specify the address of the first byte of the read operation. After the op-code and address are complete, the SI line is ignored. The bus master issues 8 clocks, with one bit read out for each. Addresses are incremented internally as long as the bus master continues to issue clocks. If the last address of 7FFFh is reached, the counter will roll over to 0000h. Data is read MSB first. The rising edge of /CS terminates a READ op-code operation. A read operation is shown in Figure 10. Hold The /HOLD pin can be used to interrupt a serial operation without aborting it. If the bus master pulls the /HOLD pin low while SCK is low, the current operation will pause. Taking the /HOLD pin high while SCK is low will resume an operation. The transitions of /HOLD must occur while SCK is low, but the SCK and /CS pins can toggle during a hold state. |
