The PCF8582C-2 is a floating gate Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM) with 2 kbits (256 × 8-bit) non-volatile storage. By using an
internal redundant storage code, it is fault tolerant to single bit errors. This feature
dramatically increases the reliability compared to conventional EEPROMs. Power
consumption is lowdue to the full CMOS technology used. The programming voltage
is generated on-chip, using a voltage multiplier.
Data bytes are received and transmitted via the serial I2C-bus. Up to eight
PCF8582C-2 devices may be connected to the I2C-bus. Chip select is accomplished
by three address inputs (A0, A1 and A2).
Timing of the E/W cycle is carried out internally, thus no external components are
required. Programming Time Control (PTC), Pin 7, must be connected to either V
or left open-circuit. There is an option of using an external clock for timing the length
of an E/W cycle.

[1] The Most Significant Bit (MSB) ‘b7’ is sent first.
A2, A1, A0 are hardware selectable pins.
A system could have up to eight PCF8582C-2 devices on the same I2C-bus,
equivalent to a 16 kbit EEPROM or 8 pages of 256 bytes of memory.
The eight addresses are defined by the state of the A0, A1, A2 inputs (logic level ‘1’
when connected to VDD, logic level ‘0’ when connected to GND). Figure 3 shows the
various address combinations.
The I2C-bus is for 2-way, 2-line communication between different ICs or modules. The
serial bus consists of two bidirectional lines; one for data signals (SDA), and one for
clock signals (SCL).
Both the SDA and SCL lines must be connected to a positive supply voltage via a
pull-up resistor.
The following 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
control signals.
8.1.1 Bus conditions
The following bus conditions have been defined:
PCF8582C-2
256 × 8-bit CMOS EEPROM with I2C-bus interface
Bus not busy — Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
Start data transfer — A change in the state of the data line, from HIGH-to-LOW,
while the clock is HIGH, defines the START condition.
Stop data transfer — A change in the state of the data line, from LOW-to-HIGH,
while the clock is HIGH, defines the STOP condition.
Data valid — 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. There is one clock pulse per bit of data.
8.1.2 Data transfer
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 limited to 7 bytes in the E/W mode and 8 bytes in the Page E/W mode.
Data transfer is unlimited in the read mode. The information is transmitted in bytes
and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth bit.
Within the I2C-bus specifications, a standard-speed mode (100 kHz clock rate) and a
fast speed mode (400 kHz clock rate) are defined. The PCF8582C-2 operates in only
the standard-speed mode.
By definition, a device that sends a signal is called a ‘transmitter’, and the device
which receives the signal is called a ‘receiver’. The device which controls the signal is
called the ‘master’. The devices that are controlled by the master are called ‘slaves’.
Each byte is followed by one acknowledge bit. This acknowledge bit is a HIGH level,
put on the bus by the transmitter. The master generates an extra acknowledge related
clock pulse. The slave receiver which is addressed is obliged to generate an
acknowledge after the reception of each byte.
The master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte
that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
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.
Set-up and hold times must be taken into account. A master receiver must signal an
end of data to the slave transmitter by not generating an acknowledge on the last byte
that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the transmitter must leave the
data line HIGH to enable the master generation of the STOP condition.
8.1.3 Device addressing
Following a START condition, the bus master must output the address of the slave it
is accessing. The address of the PCF8582C-2 is shown in Figure 4. To conserve
power, no internal pull-up resistors are incorporated on the hardware selectable pins
and they must be connected to either VDD or VSS.

Fig 4. Slave address.
The last bit of the slave address defines the operation to be performed. When set to
logic 1, a read operation is selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation.
8.1.4 Write operations
Byte/word write: For a write operation, the PCF8582C-2 requires a second address
field. This address field is a word address providing access to the 256 words of
memory. Upon receipt of the word address, the PCF8582C-2 responds with an
acknowledge and awaits the next eight bits of data, again responding with an
acknowledge. Word address is automatically incremented. The master can now
terminate the transfer by generating a STOP condition or transmit up to six more
bytes of data and then terminate by generating a STOP condition.
After this STOP condition, the E/W cycle starts and the bus is free for another
transmission. Its duration is 10 ms per byte.
During the E/W cycle the slave receiver does not send an acknowledge bit if
addressed via the I2C-bus.
