DESCRIPTION
The CAT24C323/643 is a single chip solution to three
popular functions of EEPROM memory, precision reset
controller and watchdog timer. The 24C323(32K) and
24C643 (64K) feature a I2C Serial CMOS EEPROM
Catalyst advanced CMOS technology substantially reduces device power requirements. The 24C323/643
features a 32-byte page and is available in 8-pin DIP or
8-pin SOIC packages.

Temperature Ranges
The reset function of the 24C323/643 protects the system during brown out and power up/down conditions.
During system failure the watchdog timer feature protects the microcontroller with a reset signal. 24C323
features active low reset on pin 2 and active high reset
on pin 7. 24C323/643 features watchdog timer on the
WDI input pin (pin 1).

Note:
(1) The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC
voltage on output pins is VCC +0.5V, which may overshoot to VCC + 2.0V for periods of less than 20ns.
(2) Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.
(3) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(4) Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on address and data pins from –1V to VCC +1V.

The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal program/erase
cycle. During the write cycle, the bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high, and the device
does not respond to its slave address.
