2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The 24C08B/16B supports a Bi-directional 2-wire bus
and data transmission protocol. A device that sends
data onto the bus is defined as transmitter, and a device
receiving data as receiver. The bus has to be controlled
by a master device which generates the serial clock
(SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the
START and STOP conditions, while the 24C08B/16B
works as slave. Both, master and slave can operate as
transmitter or receiver but the master device deter­mines which mode is activated.

3.0 BUS CHARACTERISTICS

The following bus protocol has been defined:

• Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is
not busy.

• During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes
in the data line while the clock line is HIGH will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.

Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Figure 3-1).

3.1 Bus not Busy (A)

Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.

3.2 Start Data Transfer (B)

A HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while the
clock (SCL) is HIGH determines a STAR T condition. All
commands must be preceded by a START condition.

3.3 Stop Data Transfer (C)

A LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while the
clock (SCL) is HIGH determines a STOP condition. All
operations must be ended with a STOP condition.

3.4 Data Valid (D)

The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a START condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal.

The data on the line must be changed during the LOW
period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per
bit of data.

Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition
and terminated with a STOP condition. The number of
the data bytes transferred between the START and
STOP conditions is determined by the master device
and is theoretically unlimited, although only the last 16
will be stored when doing a write operation. When an
overwrite does occur it will replace data in a first in first
out fashion.

3.5 Acknowledge

Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte. The master device must generate an extra clock
pulse which is associated with this acknowledge bit.

The device that acknowledges, has to pull down the
SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH
period of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of
course, setup and hold times must be taken into
account. During reads, a master must signal an end of
data to the slave by NOT generating an acknowledge
bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the
slave. In this case, the slave (24C08B/16B) will leave
the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate the
STOP condition.

Note: The 24C08B/16B does not generate any

acknowledge bits if an internal program­ming cycle is in progress.
