Table 11.SO8 narrow – 8 lead plastic small outline, 150 mils body width,
The device supports the I²C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 5. Any device that sends
data on to the bus is defined to be a transmitter, and any device that reads the data to be a
receiver. The device that controls the data transfer is known as the bus master, and the
other as the slave device. A data transfer can only be initiated by the bus master, which will
also provide the serial clock for synchronization. The device is always a slave in all
communication.
3.1 Start condition
Start is identified by a falling edge of Serial Data (SDA) while Serial Clock (SCL) is stable in
the High state. A Start condition must precede any data transfer command. The device
continuously monitors (except during a Write cycle) Serial Data (SDA) and Serial Clock
(SCL) for a Start condition.
3.2 Stop condition
Stop is identified by a rising edge of Serial Data (SDA) while Serial Clock (SCL) is stable
and driven High. A Stop condition terminates communication between the device and the
bus master. A Read command that is followed by NoAck can be followed by a Stop condition
to force the device into the Standby mode. A Stop condition at the end of a Write command
triggers the internal Write cycle.
3.3 Acknowledge bit (ACK)
The acknowledge bit is used to indicate a successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter,
whether it be bus master or slave device, releases Serial Data (SDA) after sending eight bits
of data. During the 9
th
clock pulse period, the receiver pulls Serial Data (SDA) Low to
acknowledge the receipt of the eight data bits.
3.4 Data input
During data input, the device samples Serial Data (SDA) on the rising edge of Serial Clock
(SCL). For correct device operation, Serial Data (SDA) must be stable during the rising edge
of Serial Clock (SCL), and the Serial Data (SDA) signal must change only when Serial Clock
(SCL) is driven Low.
To start communication between the bus master and the slave device, the bus master must
initiate a Start condition. Following this, the bus master sends the device select code, shown
in Ta bl e 2 (on Serial Data (SDA), most significant bit first).
The device select code consists of a 4-bit Device Type Identifier, and a 3-bit Chip Enable
“Address” (E2, E1, E0). To address the memory array, the 4-bit Device Type Identifier is
1010b.
Each device is given a unique 3-bit code on the Chip Enable (E0, E1, E2) inputs. When the
device select code is received, the device only responds if the Chip Enable Address is the
same as the value on the Chip Enable (E0, E1, E2) inputs. However, those devices with
larger memory capacities (the M24C16, M24C08 and M24C04) need more address bits. E0
is not available for use on devices that need to use address line A8; E1 is not available for
devices that need to use address line A9, and E2 is not available for devices that need to
use address line A10 (see Figure 2 and Ta bl e 2 for details). Using the E0, E1 and E2 inputs,
up to eight M24C02, four M24C04, two M24C08 or one M24C16 devices can be connected
to one I²C bus.
th
The 8
bit is the Read/Write bit (RW). This bit is set to 1 for Read and 0 for Write operations.
If a match occurs on the device select code, the corresponding device gives an
acknowledgment on Serial Data (SDA) during the 9
th
bit time. If the device does not match
the device select code, it deselects itself from the bus, and goes into Standby mode.
Following a Start condition the bus master sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW
address byte. The device responds to the address byte with an acknowledge bit, and then
waits for the data byte.
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after a data byte Ack bit (in
the “10
cycle is triggered. A Stop condition at any other time slot does not trigger the internal write
cycle.
After the Stop condition, the t
the device internal address counter is automatically incremented, to point to the next byte
address after the last one that was modified. During the internal Write cycle,
Serial Data (SDA) is disabled internally, and the device does not respond to any request.
If the Write Control (WC) input is driven High, the Write instruction is not executed and the
corresponding data bytes are not acknowledged as shown in Figure 6.
) reset to 0. The device acknowledges this, as shown in Figure 7, and waits for an
th
bit” time slot), either at the end of a Byte Write or a Page Write, the internal write
delay, and the successful completion of a Write operation,
After the device select code and the address byte, the bus master sends one data byte. If
the addressed location is Write-protected, by Write Control (WC
) being driven High, the
device replies to the data byte with NoAck, as shown in Figure 6, and the location is not
modified. If, instead, the addressed location is not Write-protected, the device replies with
Ack. The bus master terminates the transfer by generating a Stop condition, as shown in
Figure 7.
3.6.2 Page Write
The Page Write mode allows up to 16 bytes to be written in a single Write cycle, provided
that they are all located in the same page in the memory: that is, the most significant
memory address bits are the same. If more bytes are sent than will fit up to the end of the
page, a condition known as ‘roll-over’ occurs. This should be avoided, as data starts to
become overwritten in an implementation dependent way.
The bus master sends from 1 to 16 bytes of data, each of which is acknowledged by the
device if Write Control (WC
Control (WC
) being driven High, the device replies to the data bytes with NoAck, as shown
in Figure 6, and the locations are not modified. After each byte is transferred, the internal
byte address counter (the 4 least significant address bits only) is incremented. The transfer
is terminated by the bus master generating a Stop condition.

3.6.3 Minimizing system delays by polling on ACK
16/30 Doc ID 022564 Rev 1
During the internal Write cycle, the device disconnects itself from the bus, and writes a copy
of the data from its internal latches to the memory cells. The maximum Write time (t
shown in Ta bl e 9 , but the typical time is shorter. To make use of this, a polling sequence can
be used by the bus master.
The sequence, as shown in Figure 8, is:
w
) is
●Initial condition: a Write cycle is in progress.
●Step 1: the bus master issues a Start condition followed by a device select code (the
first byte of the new instruction).
●Step 2: if the device is busy with the internal Write cycle, no Ack will be returned and
the bus master goes back to Step 1. If the device has terminated the internal Write
cycle, it responds with an Ack, indicating that the device is ready to receive the second
part of the instruction (the first byte of this instruction having been sent during Step 1).
1. The seven most significant bits of the device select code of a Random Read (in the 1st and 3rd bytes) must
be identical.
3.7 Read operations
Read operations are performed independently of the state of the Write Control (WC) signal.
The device has an internal address counter which is incremented each time a byte is read.
3.7.1 Random Address Read
A dummy Write is first performed to load the address into this address counter (as shown in
Figure 9) but without sending a Stop condition. Then, the bus master sends another Start
condition, and repeats the device select code, with the Read/Write
device acknowledges this, and outputs the contents of the addressed byte. The bus master
must not acknowledge the byte, and terminates the transfer with a Stop condition.
For the Current Address Read operation, following a Start condition, the bus master only
sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW) set to 1. The device acknowledges
this, and outputs the byte addressed by the internal address counter. The counter is then
incremented. The bus master terminates the transfer with a Stop condition, as shown in
Figure 9, without acknowledging the byte.
3.7.3 Sequential Read
This operation can be used after a Current Address Read or a Random Address Read. The
bus master does acknowledge the data byte output, and sends additional clock pulses so
that the device continues to output the next byte in sequence. To terminate the stream of
bytes, the bus master must not acknowledge the last byte, and must generate a Stop
condition, as shown in Figure 9.
The output data comes from consecutive addresses, with the internal address counter
automatically incremented after each byte output. After the last memory address, the
address counter ‘rolls-over’, and the device continues to output data from memory address
00h.
3.7.4 Acknowledge in Read mode
For all Read commands, the device waits, after each byte read, for an acknowledgment
during the 9
th
bit time. If the bus master does not drive Serial Data (SDA) Low during this
time, the device terminates the data transfer and switches to its Standby mode.
