EEPROM PAGE WRITE OPERATION
The WSE128K16-XXX has a page write operation
that allows one to 128 bytes of data to be written into
the device and consecutively loads during the internal
programming period. Successive bytes may be loaded
in the same manner after the rst data byte has been
loaded. An internal timer begins a time out operation at
each write cycle. If another write cycle is completed within
150μs or less, a new time out period begins. Each write
cycle restarts the delay period. The write cycles can be
continued as long as the interval is less than the time out
period.
The usual procedure is to increment the least signicant
address lines from A0 through A6 at each write cycle. In
this manner a page of up to 128 bytes can be loaded in
to the EEPROM in a burst mode before beginning the
relatively long interval programming cycle.

DATA
After the 150μs time out is completed, the EEPROM
begins an internal write cycle. During this cycle the entire
page of bytes will be written at the same time. The internal
programming cycle is the same regardless of the number
of bytes accessed.
