DESCRIPTION
IS93C76A/86A are 8kb/16kb non-volatile, ISSI ®
serial EEPROMs. They are fabricated using an
enhanced CMOS design and process. IS93C76A/
86A contains power-efficient read/write memory,
and organization of either 1,024/2,048 bytes of 8
bits or 512/1,024 words of 16 bits. When the
ORG pin is connected to Vcc or left unconnected,
x16 is selected; when it is connected to ground,
x8 is selected.
An instruction set defines the operation of the
devices, including read, write, and mode-enable
functions. To protect against inadvertent data
modification, all erase and write instructions are
accepted only while the device are write-enabled.
A selected x8 byte or x16 word can be modified
with a single WRITE or ERASE instruction.
Additionally, the two instructions WRITE ALL or
ERASE ALL can program an entire array. Once a
device begins its self-timed program procedure,
the data out pin (Dout) can indicate the READY/
BUSY status by raising chip select (CS). The selftimed
write cycle includes an automatic erasebefore-
write capability. The devices can output
any number of consecutive bytes/words using a
single READ instruction.
