CAT28C512/513
HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION
The following is a list of hardware data protection fea-
tures that are incorporated into the CAT28C512/513.
(1) V
CC
sense provides for write protection when V
CC
falls below 3.5V min.
(2) A power on delay mechanism, t
INIT
(see AC charac-
teristics), provides a 5 to 10 ms delay before a write
sequence, after V
CC
has reached 3.5V min.
(3) Write inhibit is activated by holding any one of
OE
low,
CE
high or
WE
high.
(4) Noise pulses of less than 20 ns on the
WE
or
CE
inputs will not result in a write cycle.
SOFTWARE DATA PROTECTION
The CAT28C512/513 features a software controlled
data protection scheme which, once enabled, requires a
data algorithm to be issued to the device before a write
can be performed. The device is shipped from Catalyst
with the software protection NOT ENABLED (the
CAT28C512/513 is in the standard operating mode).

Note:
(1) Write protection is activated at this point whether or not any more writes are completed. Writing to addresses must occur within t
