CAT1163
Hardware Data Protection
whenever VCC falls below (power down) VTH or
until VCC reaches the reset threshold (power up)
VTH. Any attempt to access the internal EEPROM
is not recognized and an ACK will not be sent on
The CAT1163 is designed with the following hardware
data protection features to provide a high degree of
data integrity.

the SDA line when RESET or RESET is active.
(1) The CAT1163 features a WP pin. When the WP
pin is tied high the entire memory array becomes
write protected (read only).
(2) The VCC sense provides write protection when VCC
falls below the reset threshold value (VTH). The
VCC lock out inhibits writes to the serial EEPROM
Reset Threshold Voltage
The CAT1163 is offered with five reset threshold
voltage ranges. They are 4.50 ÷ 4.75V, 4.25 ÷ 4.50V,
3.00 ÷ 3.15V, 2.85 ÷ 3.00V and 2.55 ÷ 2.70V.
