X76F041
DEVICE OPERATION
There are three primary modes of operation for the
X76F041; READ, WRITE and CONFIGURATION. The
READ and WRITE modes may be performed with or
without an 8-byte password. The CONFIGURATION
mode always requires an 8-byte password.
The basic method of communication is established by
first enabling the device (CS LOW), generating a start
condition and then transmitting a command and address
field followed by the correct password (if configured to
require a password). All parts will be shipped from the
factory in the non-password mode. The user must per-
form an ACK Polling routine to determine the validity of
the password and start the data transfer (see Acknowl-
edge Polling). Only after the correct password is
accepted and an ACK Polling has been performed can
the data transfer occur.
To ensure correct communication, RST must remain
LOW under all conditions except when initiating a
“Response to Reset sequence”.

Data is transferred in 8-bit segments, with each transfer
being followed by an ACK, generated by the receiving
device.
If the X76F041 is in a nonvolatile write cycle a “no ACK”
(SDA HIGH) response will be issued in response to load-
ing of the command + high order address byte. If a stop
condition is issued prior to the nonvolatile write cycle the
write operation will be terminated and the part will reset
and enter into a standby mode.
The basic sequence is illustrated in Figure 1.
After each transaction is completed, the X76F041 will
reset and enter into a standby mode. This will also be the
response if an attempt is made to access any limited
array.
Password Registers
The three passwords, Read, Write and Configuration
are stored in three 64 bit Write Only registers as illus-
trated in figure 2.

Device Configuration
Five 8-Bit configuration registers are used to configure
the X76F041. These are shown in figure 3.
