FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
• Three Digitally Controlled Potentiometers (DCPs)  
—64 Tap - 10 kΩ  
—100 Tap - 10 kΩ  
—256 Tap - 100 kΩ  
—Nonvolatile  
The X9520 combines three Digitally Controlled Potentiome-  
ters (DCPs), V1 / Vcc Power On Reset (POR) circuitry, two  
programmable voltage monitor inputs with software and  
hardware indicators, and integrated EEPROM with Block  
LockTM protection. All functions of the X9520 are accessed  
by an industry standard 2-Wire serial interface.  
Write Protect Function  
• 2 kbit EEPROM Memory with Write Protect & Block  
LockTM  
• 2-Wire industry standard Serial Interface  
—Complies to the Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)  
specification  
• Power On Reset (POR) Circuitry  
—Programmable Threshold Voltage  
—Software Selectable reset timeout  
—Manual Reset  
• Two Supplementary Voltage Monitors  
—Programmable Threshold Voltages  
• Single Supply Operation  
—2.7 V to 5.5 V  
Two of the DCPs of the X9520 may be utilized to control the  
bias and modulation currents of the laser diode in a Fiber  
Optic module. The third DCP may be used to set other vari-  
ous reference quantities, or as a coarse trim for one of the  
other two DCPs. The 2 kbit integrated EEPROM may be  
used to store module definition data. The programmable  
POR circuit may be used to ensure that V1 / Vcc is stable  
before power is applied to the laser diode / module. The  
programmable voltage monitors may be used for monitor-  
ing various module alarm levels.  
The features of the X9520 are ideally suited to simplifying  
the design of fiber optic modules which comply to the Giga-  
bit Interface Converter (GBIC) specification. The integration  
of these functions into one package significantly reduces  
board area, cost and increases reliability of laser diode  
modules.

X9520 – Preliminary Information  
DETAILED DEVICE DESCRIPTION  
output (V3RO, V2RO) are allowed to go HIGH. If the input  
voltage becomes lower than it’s associated trip level, the  
corresponding output is driven LOW. A corresponding  
binary representation of the two monitor circuit outputs  
(V2RO and V3RO) are also stored in latched, volatile  
(CONSTAT) register bits. The status of these two monitor  
outputs can be read out via the 2-wire serial port.  
The X9520 combines three Xicor Digitally Controlled  
Potentiometer (DCP) devices, V1 / Vcc power on reset  
control, V1 / Vcc low voltage reset control, two supple-  
mentary voltage monitors, and integrated EEPROM with  
Block Lock™ protection, in one package. These functions  
are suited to the control, support, and monitoring of vari-  
ous system parameters in Fiber Channel / Gigabit Ether-  
net fiber optic modules, such as in Gigabit Interface  
Converter (GBIC) applications. The combination of the  
X9520 fucntionality lowers system cost, increases reliabil-  
ity, and reduces board space requirements using Xicor’s  
unique XBGA™ packaging.  
An application of the V1RO output may be to drive the  
“ENABLE” input of a Laser Driver IC, with MR as a  
“TX_DISABLE” input. V2RO and V3RO may be used to  
monitor “TX_FAULT” and “RX_LOS” conditions respec-  
tively.  
Xicor’s unique circuits allow for all internal trip voltages to  
be individually programmed with high accuracy. This  
gives the designer great flexibility in changing system  
parameters, either at the time of manufacture, or in the  
field.  
Two high resolution DCPs allow for the “set-and-forget”  
adjustment of Laser Driver IC parameters such as Laser  
Diode Bias and Modulation Currents. One lower resolu-  
tion DCP may be used for setting sundry system parame-  
ters such as maximum laser output power (for eye safety  
requirements).  
The memory portion of the device is a CMOS serial  
EEPROM array with Xicor’s Block LockTM protection. This  
memory may be used to store fiber optic module manu-  
facturing data, serial numbers, or various other system  
parameters. The EEPROM array is internally organized  
as x 8, and utilizes Xicor’s proprietary Direct WriteTM cells,  
providing a minimum endurance of 1,000,000 cycles and  
a minimum data retention of 100 years.  
Applying voltage to V  
activates the Power On Reset  
CC  
circuit which allows the V1RO output to go HIGH, until the  
supply the supply voltage stabilizes for a period of time  
(selectable via software). The V1RO output then goes  
LOW. The Low Voltage Reset circuitry allows the V1RO  
output to go HIGH when V

Serial Stop Condition  
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
SERIAL INTERFACE  
All communications must be terminated by a STOP con-  
dition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while  
SCL is HIGH. The STOP condition is also used to place  
the device into the Standby power mode after a read  
sequence. A STOP condition can only be issued after the  
transmitting device has released the bus. See Figure 2.  
Serial Interface Conventions  
The device supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol.  
The protocol defines any device that sends data onto the  
bus as a transmitter, and the receiving device as the  
receiver. The device controlling the transfer is called the  
master and the device being controlled is called the slave.  
The master always initiates data transfers, and provides  
the clock for both transmit and receive operations. There-  
fore, the X9520 operates as a slave in all applications.  
Serial Acknowledge  
An ACKNOWLE DGE (ACK) is a software convention  
used to indicate a successful data transfer. The transmit-  
ting device, either master or slave, will release the bus  
after transmitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle,  
the receiver will pull the SDA line LOW to ACKNOWL-  
EDGE that it received the eight bits of data. Refer to Fig-  
ure 3.  
Serial Clock and Data  
Data states on the SDA line can change only while SCL is  
LOW. SDA state changes while SCL is HIGH are  
reserved for indicating START and STOP conditions. See  
Figure 1.On power up of the X9520, the SDA pin is in the  
input mode.  
The device will respond with an ACKNOWLEDGE after  
recognition of a START condition if the correct Device  
Identifier bits are contained in the Slave Address Byte. If a  
write operation is selected, the device will respond with an  
ACKNOWLEDGE after the receipt of each subsequent  
eight bit word.  
Serial Start Condition  
All commands are preceded by the START condition,  
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while SCL is  
HIGH. The device continuously monitors the SDA and  
SCL lines for the START condition and does not respond  
to any command until this condition has been met. See  
Figure 2.  
In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of  
data, release the SDA line, then monitor the line for an  
ACKNOWLEDGE. If an ACKNOWLEDGE is detected  
and no STOP condition is generated by the master, the  
device will continue to transmit data. The device will termi-

—The next three bits (SA3 - SA1) are the Internal Device  
Address bits. Setting these bits to 000 internally selects  
the EEPROM array, while setting these bits to 111  
selects the DCP structures in the X9520. The CON-  
STAT Register may be selected using the Internal  
Device Address 010.  
DEVICE INTERNAL ADDRESSING  
Addressing Protocol Overview  
—The Least Significant Bit of the Slave Address (SA0)  
Byte is the R/W bit. This bit defines the operation to be  
performed on the device being addressed (as defined  
in the bits SA3 - SA1). When the R/W bit is “1”, then a  
READ operation is selected. A “0” selects a WRITE  
operation (Refer to Figure 4.)  
The user addressable internal components of the X9520  
can be split up into three main parts:  
—Three Digitally Controlled Potentiometers (DCPs)  
—EEPROM array  
—Control and Status (CONSTAT) Register  
SA7 SA6  
SA3 SA2  
SA5 SA4  
SA1  
Depending upon the operation to be performed on each  
of these individual parts, a 1, 2 or 3 Byte protocol is used.  
All operations however must begin with the Slave  
Address Byte being issued on the SDA pin. The Slave  
address selects the part of the X9520 to be addressed,  
and specifies if a Read or Write operation is to be per-  
formed.

X9520 – Preliminary Information  
Nonvolatile Write Acknowledge Polling  
After a nonvolatile write command sequence (for either  
the EEPROM array, the Non Volatile Memory of a DCP  
(NVM), or the CONSTAT Register) has been correctly  
issued (including the final STOP condition), the X9520 ini-  
tiates an internal high voltage write cycle. This cycle typi-  
cally requires 5 ms. During this time, no further Read or  
Write commands can be issued to the device. Write  
Acknowledge Polling is used to determine when this high  
voltage write cycle has been completed.

To perform acknowledge polling, the master issues a

Slave Address issued must contain a valid Internal Device  
Address. The LSB of the Slave Address (R/W) can be set  
to either 1 or 0 in this case. If the device is still busy with  
the high voltage cycle then no ACKNOWLEDGE will be  
returned. If the device has completed the write operation,  
an ACKNOWLEDGE will be returned and the host can  
then proceed with a read or write operation. (Refer to Fig-

DCP Operations  
Instruction Byte  
In total there are three operations that can be performed  
on any internal DCP structure:  
While the Slave Address Byte is used to select the DCP  
devices, an Instruction Byte is used to determine which  
DCP is being addressed.  
—DCP Nonvolatile Write  
—DCP Volatile Write  
—DCP Read  
The Instruction Byte (Figure 8) is valid only when the  
Device Type Identifier and the Internal Device Address  
bits of the Slave Address are set to 1010111. In this  
case, the two Least Significant Bit’s (I1 - I0) of the  
Instruction Byte are used to select the particular DCP (0  
- 2). In the case of a Write to any of the DCPs (i.e. the  
LSB of the Slave Address is 0), the Most Significant Bit of  
the Instruction Byte (I7), determines the Write Type (WT)  
performed.  
A nonvolatile write to a DCP will change the “wiper  
position” by simultaneously writing new data to the  
associated WCR and NVM. Therefore, the new “wiper  
position” setting is recalled into the WCR after V1 / Vcc of  
the X9520 is powered down and then powered back up.  
A volatile write operation to a DCP however, changes the  
“wiper position” by writing new data to the associated  
WCR only. The contents of the associated NVM register  
remains unchanged. Therefore, when V1 / Vcc to the  
device is powered down then back up, the “wiper  
position” reverts to that last position written to the DCP  
using a nonvolatile write operation.  
If WT is “1”, then a Nonvolatile Write to the DCP occurs.  
In this case, the “wiper position” of the DCP is changed by  
simultaneously writing new data to the associated WCR

clock signal, after the LSB of the Data Byte (D0) has been

If WT is “0” then a DCP Volatile Write is performed. This

new data to the associated WCR only. The contents of  
the associated NVM register remains unchanged. There-  
fore, when V1 / Vcc to the device is powered down then  
back up, the “wiper position” reverts to that last written to  
the DCP using a nonvolatile write operation.

DCP Write Operation  
Using a Data Byte larger than the values specified above  
results in the “wiper terminal” being set to the highest tap  
position. The “wiper position” does NOT roll-over to the  
lowest tap position.  
A write to DCPx (x=0,1,2) can be performed using the  
three byte command sequence shown in Figure 9.  
In order to perform a write operation on a particular DCP,  
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the CONSTAT Regis-  
ter must first be set (See “BL1, BL0: Block Lock protection  
bits - (Nonvolatile)” on page 13.)  
For DCP0 (64 Tap) and DCP2 (256 Tap), the Data Byte  
maps one to one to the “wiper position” of the DCP “wiper  
terminal”. Therefore, the Data Byte 00001111 (15 ) cor-  
10  
responds to setting the “wiper terminal” to tap position 15.  
Similarly, the Data Byte 00011100 (28 ) corresponds to

(100 Tap), is shown in “APPENDIX 1” . An example of a  
simple C language function which “translates” between  
the tap position (decimal) and the Data Byte (binary) for  
DCP1, is given in “APPENDIX 2” .  
DCP Read Operation  
A read of DCPx (x=0,1,2) can be performed using the  
three byte random read command sequence shown in  
Figure 10.  
The master issues the START condition and the Slave  
Address Byte 10101110 which specifies that a “dummy”  
write” is to be conducted. This “dummy” write operation  
sets which DCP is to be read (in the preceding Read  
operation). An ACKNOWLEDGE is returned by the  
X9520 after the Slave Address if received correctly. Next,  
an Instruction Byte is issued on SDA. Bits P1-P0 of the  
Instruction Byte determine which DCP “wiper position” is  
to be read. In this case, the state of the WT bit is “don’t  
care”. If the Instruction Byte format is valid, then another  
ACKNOWLEDGE is returned by the X9520.  
It should be noted that all writes to any DCP of the X9520  
are random in nature. Therefore, the Data Byte of consec-  
utive write operations to any DCP can differ by an arbi-  
trary number of bits. Also, setting the bits P1=1, P0=1 is a  
reserved sequence, and will result in no ACKNOWL-  
EDGE after sending an Instruction Byte on SDA.  
The factory default setting of all “wiper position” settings is  
with 00h stored in the NVM of the DCPs. This corre-  
sponds to having the “wiper teminal” R  
(x=0,1,2) at the  
WX  
“lowest” tap position, Therefore, the resistance between  
and R is a minimum (essentially only the Wiper  
Following this ACKNOWLEDGE, the master immediately  
issues another START condition and a valid Slave  
address byte with the R/W bit set to 1. Then the X9520  
issues an ACKNOWLEDGE followed by Data Byte, and

responds with an ACKNOWLEDGE. The master then ter-  
minates the transfer by generating a STOP condition, at  
which time the X9520 begins the internal write cycle to the  
nonvolatile memory (See Figure 11). During this internal  
write cycle, the X9520 inputs are disabled, so it does not  
respond to any requests from the master. The SDA output  
is at high impedance. A write to a region of EEPROM  
memory which has been protected with the Block-Lock  
feature (See “BL1, BL0: Block Lock protection bits - (Non-  
volatile)” on page 13.), suppresses the ACKNOWLEDGE  
bit after the Address Byte.  
It should be noted that when reading out the data byte for  
DCP0 (64 Tap), the upper two most significant bits are  
“unknown” bits. For DCP1 (100 Tap), the upper most sig-  
nificant bit is an “unknown”. For DCP2 (256 Tap) however,  
all bits of the data byte are relevant (See Figure 10).  
2 kbit EEPROM ARRAY  
EEPROM Page Write  
Operations on the 2 kbit EEPROM Array, consist of either  
1, 2 or 3 byte command sequences. All operations on the  
EEPROM must begin with the Device Type Identifier of  
the Slave Address set to 1010000. A Read or Write to the  
EEPROM is selected by setting the LSB of the Slave  
Address to the appropriate value R/W (Read = “1”,  
Wrtie=”0”).  
In order to perform an EEPROM Page Write operation to  
the EEPROM array, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of  
the CONSTAT Register must first be set (See “BL1, BL0:  
Block Lock protection bits - (Nonvolatile)” on page 13.)  
The X9520 is capable of a page write operation. It is initi-  
ated in the same manner as the byte write operation; but  
instead of terminating the write cycle after the first data  
byte is transferred, the master can transmit an unlimited  
number of 8-bit bytes. After the receipt of each byte, the  
X9520 responds with an ACKNOWLEDGE, and the  
address is internally incremented by one. The page  
address remains constant. When the counter reaches the  
end of the page, it “rolls over” and goes back to ‘0’ on the  
same page.  
In some cases when performing a Read or Write to the  
EEPROM, an Address Byte may also need to be speci-  
fied. This Address Byte can contain the values 00h to  
FFh.  
EEPROM Byte Write  
In order to perform an EEPROM Byte Write operation to  
the EEPROM array, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of  
the CONSTAT Register must first be set (See “BL1, BL0:  
Block Lock protection bits - (Nonvolatile)” on page 13.)  
For example, if the master writes 12 bytes to the page  
starting at location 11 (decimal), the first 5 bytes are writ-  
ten to locations 11 through 15, while the last 7 bytes are  
written to locations 0 through 6. Afterwards, the address  
counter would point to location 7. If the master supplies  
more than 16 bytes of data, then new data overwrites the  
previous data, one byte at a time (See Figure 13).  
For a write operation, the X9520 requires the Slave  
Address Byte and an Address Byte. This gives the master  
access to any one of the words in the array. After receipt  
of the Address Byte, the X9520 responds with an  
ACKNOWLEDGE, and awaits the next eight bits of data.  
After receiving the 8 bits of the Data Byte, it again

Figure 14. Current EEPROM Address Read Sequence  
The master terminates the Data Byte loading by issuing a  
STOP condition, which causes the X9520 to begin the  
nonvolatile write cycle. As with the byte write operation, all  
inputs are disabled until completion of the internal write  
cycle. See Figure 12 for the address, ACKNOWLEDGE,  
and data transfer sequence.  
Current EEPROM Address Read  
Internally the device contains an address counter that  
maintains the address of the last word read incremented  
by one. Therefore, if the last read was to address n, the  
next read operation would access data from address n+1.  
On power up, the address of the address counter is unde-  
fined, requiring a read or write operation for initialization.  
Stops and EEPROM Write Modes  
Upon receipt of the Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit  
set to one, the device issues an ACKNOWLEDGE and  
then transmits the eight bits of the Data Byte. The master  
terminates the read operation when it does not respond  
with an ACKNOWLEDGE during the ninth clock and then  
issues a STOP condition (See Figure 14 for the address,  
ACKNOWLEDGE, and data transfer sequence).  
Stop conditions that terminate write operations must be  
sent by the master after sending at least 1 full data byte  
and receiving the subsequent ACKNOWLEDGE signal. If  
the master issues a STOP within a Data Byte, or before  
the X9520 issues a corresponding ACKNOWLEDGE, the  
X9520 cancels the write operation. Therefore, the con-  
tents of the EEPROM array does not change.  
It should be noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read  
operation is not a “don’t care.” To terminate a read opera-  
tion, the master must either issue a STOP condition dur-  
ing the ninth cycle or hold SDA HIGH during the ninth  
clock cycle and then issue a STOP condition.  
EEPROM Array Read Operations  
Read operations are initiated in the same manner as write  
operations with the exception that the R/W bit of the Slave  
Address Byte is set to one. There are three basic read  
operations: Current EEPROM Address Read, Random  
EEPROM Read, and Sequential EEPROM Read.  
Another important point to note regarding the “Current  
EEPROM Address Read” , is that this operation is not  
available if the last executed operation was an access to

a DCP or the CONSTAT Register (i.e.: an operation using  
the Device Type Identifier 1010111 or 1010010). Immedi-  
ately after an operation to a DCP or CONSTAT Register is  
performed, only a “Random EEPROM Read” is avail-  
able. Immediately following a “Random EEPROM Read” ,  
a “Current EEPROM Address Read” or “Sequential  
EEPROM Read” is once again available (assuming that  
no access to a DCP or CONSTAT Register occur in the  
interim).  
After the X9520 acknowledges the receipt of the Address  
Byte, the master immediately issues another START con-  
dition and the Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit set to  
one. This is followed by an ACKNOWLEDGE from the  
X9520 and then by the eight bit word. The master termi-  
nates the read operation by not responding with an  
ACKNOWLEDGE and instead issuing a STOP condition  
(Refer to Figure 15.).  
A similar operation called “Set Current Address” also  
exists. This operation is performed if a STOP is issued  
instead of the second START shown in Figure 15. In this  
case, the device sets the address pointer to that of the  
Address Byte, and then goes into standby mode after the  
STOP bit. All bus activity will be ignored until another  
START is detected.  
Random EEPROM Read  
Random read operation allows the master to access any  
memory location in the array. Prior to issuing the Slave  
Address Byte with the R/W bit set to one, the master must  
first perform a “dummy” write operation. The master  
issues the START condition and the Slave Address Byte,  
receives an ACKNOWLEDGE, then issues an Address  
Byte. This “dummy” Write operation sets the address  
pointer to the address from which to begin the random  
EEPROM read operation.  
Sequential EEPROM Read

address read or random address read. The first Data Byte  
is transmitted as with the other modes; however, the mas-

WEL: Write Enable Latch (Volatile)  
The WEL bit controls the Write Enable status of the entire  
X9520 device. This bit must first be enabled before ANY  
write operation (to DCPs, EEPROM memory array, or the  
CONSTAT register). If the WEL bit is not first enabled,  
then ANY proceeding (volatile or nonvolatile) write opera-  
tion to DCPs, EEPROM array, as well as the CONSTAT  
register, is aborted and no ACKNOWLEDGE is issued  
after a Data Byte.

The WEL bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the dis-

the WEL bit remains set to “1” until either it is reset to “0”  
(by writing 00000000 to the CONSTAT register) or until  
the X9520 powers down, and then up again.

Writes to the WEL bit do not cause an internal high volt-

in the CONSTAT Write command sequence (See Figure  
18).  
NOTE: Bits labelled NV are nonvolatile (See “CONTROL AND STATUS REGISTER”).

ter now responds with an ACKNOWLEDGE, indicating it  
requires additional data. The X9520 continues to output a  
Data Byte for each ACKNOWLEDGE received. The mas-  
ter terminates the read operation by not responding with  
an ACKNOWLEDGE and instead issuing a STOP condi-  
tion.  
RWEL: Register Write Enable Latch (Volatile)  
The RWEL bit controls the (CONSTAT) Register Write  
Enable status of the X9520. Therefore, in order to write to  
any of the bits of the CONSTAT Register (except WEL),  
the RWEL bit must first be set to “1”. The RWEL bit is a  
volatile bit that powers up in the disabled, LOW (“0”) state.  
The data output is sequential, with the data from address  
n followed by the data from address n + 1. The address  
counter for read operations increments through the entire  
memory contents to be serially read during one operation.  
At the end of the address space the counter “rolls over” to  
address 00h and the device continues to output data for  
each ACKNOWLEDGE received (Refer to Figure 16.).  
It must be noted that the RWEL bit can only be set, once  
the WEL bit has first been enabled (See "CONSTAT Reg-  
ister Write Operation").  
The RWEL bit will reset itself to the default “0” state, in  
one of three cases:  
CONTROL AND STATUS REGISTER  
—After a successful write operation to any bits of the  
CONSTAT register has been completed (See Figure  
18).  
The Control and Status (CONSTAT) Register provides  
the user with a mechanism for changing and reading the  
status of various parameters of the X9520 (See Figure  
17).  
—When the X9520 is powered down.  
—When attempting to write to a Block Lock protected  
region of the EEPROM memory (See "BL1, BL0: Block  
Lock protection bits - (Nonvolatile)", below).  
The CONSTAT register is a combination of both volatile  
and nonvolatile bits. The nonvolatile bits of the CONSTAT  
register retain their stored values even when V1 / Vcc is  
powered down, then powered back up. The volatile bits  
however, will always power up to a known logic state “0”  
(irrespective of their value at power down).  
BL1, BL0: Block Lock protection bits - (Nonvolatile)  
The Block Lock protection bits (BL1 and BL0) are used to:  
—Inhibit a write operation from being performed to certain  
addresses of the EEPROM memory array  
A detailed description of the function of each of the CON-  
STAT register bits follows:  
—Inhibit a DCP write operation (changing the “wiper posi-  
tion”).

V2OS, V3OS: Voltage Monitor Status Bits (Volatile)  
Bits V2OS and V3OS of the CONSTAT register are  
latched, volatile flag bits which indicate the status of the  
Voltage Monitor reset output pins V2RO and V3RO.  
The factory default setting for these bits are BL1 = 0, BL0  
= 0.  
At power up the VxOS (x=2,3) bits default to the value “0”.  
These bits can be set to a “1” by writing the appropriate  
value to the CONSTAT register. To provide consistency  
between the VxRO and VxOS however, the status of the  
VxOS bits can only be set to a “1” when the correspond-  
ing VxRO output is HIGH.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the Write Protect (WP) pin of the  
X9520 is active (HIGH), then all nonvolatile write opera-  
tions to both the EEPROM memory and DCPs are inhib-  
ited, irrespective of the Block Lock bit settings (See "WP:  
Write Protection Pin").

X9520 – Preliminary Information  
Once the VxOS bits have been set to “1”, they will be  
reset to “0” if:  
typically take 5ms to complete. The RWEL bit is reset  
by this cycle and the sequence must be repeated to  
change the nonvolatile bits again. If bit 2 is set to ‘1’ in  
this third step (qxys t11r) then the RWEL bit is set, but  
the V2OS, V3OS, POR1, POR0, BL1 and BL0 bits  
remain unchanged. Writing a second byte to the control  
register is not allowed. Doing so aborts the write opera-  
tion and the X9520 does not return an ACKNOWL-  
EDGE.  
—The device is powered down, then back up,  
—The corresponding VxRO output becomes LOW.  
CONSTAT Register Write Operation  
The CONSTAT register is accessed using the Slave  
Address set to 1010010 (Refer to Figure 4.). Following  
the Slave Address Byte, access to the CONSTAT register  
requires an Address Byte which must be set to FFh. Only  
one data byte is allowed to be written for each CONSTAT  
register Write operation. The user must issue a STOP,  
after sending this byte to the register, to initiate the non-  
volatile cycle that stores the BP1, BP0, POR1 and POR0  
bits. The X9520 will not ACKNOWLEDGE any data bytes  
written after the first byte is entered (Refer to Figure 18.).  
For example, a sequence of writes to the device CON-  
STAT register consisting of [02H, 06H, 02H] will reset all  
of the nonvolatile bits in the CONSTAT Register to “0”.  
It should be noted that a write to any nonvolatile bit of  
CONSTAT register will be ignored if the Write Protect pin  
of the X9520 is active (HIGH) (See "WP: Write Protection  
Pin").  
Prior to writing to the CONSTAT register, the WEL and  
RWEL bits must be set using a two step process, with the  
whole sequence requiring 3 steps  
CONSTAT Register Read Operation  
The contents of the CONSTAT Register can be read at  
any time by performing a random read (See Figure 19).  
Using the Slave Address Byte set to 10100101, and an  
Address Byte of FFh. Only one byte is read by each reg-  
ister read operation. The X9520 resets itself after the first  
byte is read. The master should supply a STOP condition  
to be consistent with the bus protocol.  
—Write a 02H to the CONSTAT Register to set the Write  
Enable Latch (WEL). This is a volatile operation, so  
there is no delay after the write. (Operation preceded  
by a START and ended with a STOP).  
—Write a 06H to the CONSTAT Register to set the Regis-  
ter Write Enable Latch (RWEL) AND the WEL bit. This  
is also a volatile cycle. The zeros in the data byte are  
required. (Operation preceded by a START and ended  
with a STOP).  
After setting the WEL and / or the RWEL bit(s) to a “1”, a  
CONSTAT register read operation may occur, without  
interrupting a proceeding CONSTAT register write opera-  
tion.  
—Write a one byte value to the CONSTAT Register that  
has all the bits set to the desired state. The CONSTAT  
register can be represented as qxyst01r in binary,  
where xy are the Voltage Monitor Output Status (V2OS  
and V3OS) bits, st are the Block Lock Protection (BL1

There are a number of levels of data protection features  
designed into the X9520. Any write to the device first  
requires setting of the WEL bit in the CONSTAT register.  
A write to the CONSTAT register itself, further requires  
the setting of the RWEL bit. Block Lock protection of the  
device enables the user to inhibit writes to certain regions  
time (t  
) control bits (POR1 - POR0). This oper-  
PUV1RO  
ation is proceeded by a START and ended with a  
STOP bit. Since this is a nonvolatile write cycle, it will

It should also be noted that all communication to the  
device via the SDA and SCL pins is stopped and reset  
while V1RO is HIGH. Also, setting the Manual Reset (MR)  
pin HIGH overrides the Power On / Low Voltage circuitry  
and forces the V1RO output pin HIGH (See "MR: Manual

VOLTAGE MONITORING FUNCTIONS
