Software Data Protection
Regardless of whether the device has previously been protected
or not, once the software data protection algorithm is used and
data has been written, the X28HC256 will automatically disable
further writes unless another command is issued to cancel it. If
no further commands are issued the X28HC256 will be write
protected during power-down and after any subsequent
power-up.
Note: Once initiated, the sequence of write operations should not
be interrupted.
Resetting Software Data
Protection
In the event the user wants to deactivate the software data
protection feature for testing or reprogramming in an EEPROM
programmer, the following six step algorithm will reset the
internal protection circuit. After t
WC
, the X28HC256 will be in
standard operating mode.
Note: Once initiated, the sequence of write operations should not
be interrupted.

System Considerations
Because the X28HC256 is frequently used in large memory
arrays, it is provided with a two line control architecture for both
read and write operations. Proper usage can provide the lowest
possible power dissipation and eliminate the possibility of
contention where multiple I/O pins share the same bus.
To gain the most benefit, it is recommended that CE
be decoded
from the address bus and be used as the primary device
selection input. Both OE
and WE would then be common among
all devices in the array. For a read operation, this assures that all
deselected devices are in their standby mode and that only the
selected device(s) is/are outputting data on the bus.
Because the X28HC256 has two power modes, standby and
active, proper decoupling of the memory array is of prime
concern. Enabling CE
will cause transient current spikes. The
magnitude of these spikes is dependent on the output capacitive
loading of the l/Os. Therefore, the larger the array sharing a
common bus, the larger the transient spikes. The voltage peaks
associated with the current transients can be suppressed by the
proper selection and placement of decoupling capacitors. As a
minimum, it is recommended that a 0.1µF high frequency
ceramic capacitor be used between V
CC
and V
SS
at each device.
Depending on the size of the array, the value of the capacitor
may have to be larger.
In addition, it is recommended that a 4.7µF electrolytic bulk
capacitor be placed between V
CC
and V
SS
for each eight devices
employed in the array. This bulk capacitor is employed to
overcome the voltage droop caused by the inductive effects of
the PC board traces.
