Page Write

The page write mode of the CAT28HT256 (essentially

an extended BYTE WRITE mode) allows from 1 to 64

write cycle. This effectively reduces the byte-write time

by a factor of 64.

cycle consists of an erase cycle, which erases any data

that existed in each addressed cell, and a write cycle,

which writes new data back into the cell. A page write will

only write data to the locations that were addressed and

will not rewrite the entire page.
