protocol, with all memory operations synchronized
by the serial clock. Read and Write operations are
initiated by a START condition, genera ted by the
bus master. The START condition is followed by a
Device Select Code and RW
bit (as described in
Table 3), terminated by an acknowledge bit.
When writing data to the memory, the memory
inserts an acknowledge bit during the 9
th
bit time,
following the bus master’s 8-bit transmission.
When data is read by the bus master, the bus
master acknowledges the receipt of t he data b yte
in the same way. Data transfers are terminated by
a STOP condition after an Ack for WRITE, and
after a NoAck for READ.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input pin is used to strobe all data in and
out of the memory. In applications where this line
is used by slaves to synchronize the bus to a
slower clock, the master must have an open drain
output, and a pull-up resistor must be c onnected
from the SCL line to V
. (Figure 3 indicates how
CC
the value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated).
In most applications, though, this method of
synchronization is not employed, and so the pullup resistor is not necessary, provided that the
master has a push-pull (rather than open drain)
output.
Serial Data (SDA)
The SDA pin is bi-directional, and is used to
transfer data in or out of the memory. It is an open
drain output that may be wire-OR’ed with other
open drain or open collector signals on the bus. A
pull up resistor must be connected f rom the SDA
bus to V
. (Figure 3 indicates how t he value of
CC
the pull-up resistor can be calculated).
Chip Enable (E2, E1, E0)
These chip enable inputs are used to set the value
that is to be looked for on the three least significant
bits (b3, b2, b1) of the 7-bit device select code.
These inputs must be tied to V
or VSS to
CC
establish the device select code.
Write Control (WC
The hardware Write Control pin (WC
)
) is useful for
protecting the top quarter of the memory (as
shown in Figure 4) from inadvertent erase or write.

reads the data to be a receiver. The device that
controls the data transfer is k nown as the master,
and the other as the slave. A data transfer can only
be initiated by the mas ter, which wi ll also provide
the serial clock for synchronization. The memory
device is always a slave device in all
communication.
Start Condition
START is identified by a high t o low transition of
the SDA line while the clock, SCL, is s table i n t he
high state. A START condition must precede any
data transfer command. The memory device
continuously monitors (except during a
programming cycle) the SDA and SCL lines for a
START condition, and will not respond unless one
is given.
Stop Condition
STOP is identified by a low to high transition of the
SDA line while the clock SCL is stable in the high
4/15

state. A STOP condition terminates
communication between the m emory device and
the bus master. A STOP condition at the end of a
Read command, after (and only after) a NoAck,
forces the memory device into its standby state. A
STOP condition at the end of a Write com mand
triggers the internal EEPROM write cycle.
Acknowledge Bit (ACK)
An acknowledge signal is used to indicate a
successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter,
whether it be master or slave, releases the SDA
bus after sending eight bits of data. During the 9
clock pulse period, the receiver pulls the SDA bus
low to acknowledge the receipt of the eight data
bits.
Data Input
During data input, the memory device samples the
SDA bus signal on the rising edge of the clock,
SCL. For correct device operation, the SDA signal
must be stable during the clock low-to-high

and the slave memory, the master must initiate a
START condition. Following this, the master sends
the 8-bit byte, shown in Table 3, on the SDA bus
line (most significant bit first). This consists of the
Table 5. Least Significant Byte
b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
7-bit Device Select Code, and the 1-bit Read/Write
Designator (RW). The Device Select Code is
further subdivided into: 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.
If all three chip enable inputs are connected, up to
eight memory devices can be connected on a
single I
2
C bus. Each one is given a unique 3-bit
code on its Chip Enable inputs. When the Device
Select Code is received on the SDA bus, the
memory only responds if t he Chip Select Code is
the same as the pattern applied to its Chip Enable
pins.
th
The 8
bit is th e RW bit. This is set to ‘1’ for read
and ‘0’ for write operations. If a match occurs on
the Device Select Code, the corresponding
memory gives an acknowledgment on the SDA
bus during the 9
th
bit time. If the memory does not
match the Device Sel ect Code, it deselects itself
from the bus, and goes into stand-by mode.
There are two modes both for read and write.
These are summarized in Table 6 and described
later. A communication between the m aster and
the slave is ended with a STOP condition.
Each data byte in the m emory has a 16-bit (two
byte wide) address. The Most Significant Byte
(Table 4) is sent first, followed by the Least
significant Byte (Table 5). B its b15 to b0 form the
address of the byte in memory. Bits b15 to b13 are
treated as a Don’t Care bit on the M34D64
memory. Bits b15 to b12 are treated as Don’t Care
bits on the M34D32 memory.
Write Operations
Following a START con dition the ma ster sends a
Device Select Code with the RW
bit set to ’0’, as
shown in Table 6. The memory acknowledges this,
and waits for two address bytes. The memory
responds to each address byte with an
acknowledge bit, and then waits for the data byte.
Writing to the memory may be inhibited if the WC
input pin is taken high. Any write command with
WC
=1 (during a period o f time from the START
condition until the end of the two address bytes)
will not mo dify the cont ents of the top quarter of
the memo r y.

Byte Write
In the Byte Write mode, after the Device Select
Code and the address bytes, the master sends
one data byte. If the addressed lo cation is write
protected by the WC
pin, the location is not
modified. The master terminates the transfer by
generating a STOP condition.
Page Write
The Page Write mode allows u p to 32 by tes to be
written in a single write cycle, provided that they
are all located in the same “row” in the m emory:
that is the most significant memory add ress bits
(b12-b5 for the M34D64 and b11-b5 for the
M34D32) are the same. If more bytes are sent
than will fit up to the end of t he row, a conditi on
known as ‘roll-over’ occurs. Data starts to become
overwritten (in a way not formally specified in this
data sheet).
The master sends from one up to 32 bytes of data,
each of which is acknow ledged by the memory if
the WC
pin is low. If the WC pin is high, the
AI02853
contents of the addressed memory location are
not modified. After each byte is transferred, the
internal byte address counter (the 5 least
significant bits only) is incremented. The transfer is
terminated by the master generating a STOP
condition.
When the master generates a STOP condition
immediately after the Ack bi t (in t he “10
th
bit” time
slot), either at the end of a byte write or a page
write, the internal memory write cycle is triggered.
A STOP condition at any other time does not
trigger the internal write cycle.
During the internal write cycle, the SDA input is
disabled internally, and the device does not
respond to any requests.
Minimizing System Delays by Polling On ACK
During the internal write cycle, the memory
disconnects itself from the bus, and copies the
data from its internal latches to the memory cells.
The maximum write time (t
) is shown in Table 9,
w
but the typical time is shorter. To make use of this,

an Ack polling sequence can be used by the
master.
The sequence, as shown in Figure 7, is:
– Initial condition: a Write is in progress.
– Step 1: the m aster issues a START condition
followed by a Device Select Code (the first byte
of the new instruction).
– Step 2: if the memory is bus y with the internal
write cycle, no Ack will be returned and the
master goes back to Step 1. If the memory has
terminated the internal write cycle, it responds
with an Ack, indicating that the memory is ready
to receive the second part of the next instruction
(the first byte of this instruction having been sent
during Step 1).

A dummy write is performed to load the address

Then,
without

repeats the Device Select Code, with the RW
set to ‘1’. The memory acknowledges this, and
outputs the contents of the addressed byte. The

terminates the transfer with a STOP condition.
Current Address Read
The device has an internal address counter which
is incremented each time a byte is read. For the
Current Address Read m ode, following a START
condition, the master sends a Device Select Code
with the RW
bit set to 1. The memory
acknowledges this, and outputs the byte
addressed by the internal address counter. The
counter is then incremented. The master

In all read modes, the memory waits, after each
