DESCRIPTION
2
The X24165 is a CMOS 16,384 bit serial E PROM,
internally organized 2048 x 8. The X24165 features a
serial interface and software protocol allowing operation on a
simple two wire bus.
Three device select inputs (S
0
, S
1
, S
2
) allow up to eight
devices to share a common two wire bus.
A Write Protect Register at the highest address location,
7FFh, provides three new write protection
features: Software Write Protect, Block Write Protect, and
Hardware Write Protect. The Software Write
Protect feature prevents any nonvolatile writes to the X24165
until the WEL bit in the write protect register is
set. The Block Write Protection feature allows the user to
individually write protect four blocks of the array by
programming two bits in the write protect register. The
Programmable Hardware Write Protect feature allows
the user to install the X24165 with WP tied to V
CC
,
program the entire memory array in place, and then
enable the hardware write protection by programming a
WPEN bit in the write protect register. After this,
selected blocks of the array, including the write protect
register itself, are permanently write protected.
Xicor E PROMs are designed and tested for applications
requiring extended endurance. Inherent data
