CMOS SERIAL E2PROM
S-93C46A/56A/66A
3. Write enable (EWEN) and Write disable (EWDS)
The EWEN instruction puts the S-93C46A/56A/66A into write enable mode, which accepts WRITE, ERASE, WRAL,
and ERAL instructions. The EWDS instruction puts the S-93C46A/56A/66A into write disable mode, which refuses WRITE,
ERASE, WRAL, and ERAL instructions.
The S-93C46A/56A/66A powers on in write disable mode, which protects data against unexpected, erroneous write
operations caused by noise and/or CPU malfunctions. It should be kept in write disable mode except when performing write
operations.
