Description
The AT24C164 provides 16,384 bits of serial electrically erasable and programmable
read only memory (EEPROM) organized as 2048 words of 8 bits each. The device’s
cascadable feature allows up to eight devices to share a common 2-wire bus. The
device is optimized for use in many industrial and commercial applications where low
power and low voltage operation are essential. The AT24C164 is available in space
saving 8-lead PDIP and 8-lead JEDEC SOIC packages and is accessed via a 2-wire
serial interface. In addition, this device is available in 2.7V (2.7V to 5.5V) and 1.8V
(1.8V to 5.5V) versions.

Pin DescriptionSERIAL CLOCK (SCL): The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into each
EEPROM device and negative edge clock data out of each device.
SERIAL DATA (SDA): The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. This pin is
open-drain driven and may be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or open
collector devices.
DEVICE SELECT (A2, A1, A0): The A2, A1 and A0 pins are device address inputs that
may be hardwired or actively driven to V
one of eight possible devices sharing a common bus. The AT24C164 can be made
compatible with the AT24C16 by tying A2, A1 and A0 to V
cussed in detail in the device addressing section.
WRITE PROTECT (WP): The write protect input, when tied low to GND, allows normal
write operations.
Memory Organization The AT24C164 is internally organized with 256 pages of 8 bytes each. Random word
addressing requires an 11 bit data word address.

Device OperationCLOCK and DATA TRANSITIONS: The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an exter-
nal device. Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (refer to
Data Validity timing diagram). Data changes during SCL high periods will indicate a start
or stop condition as defined below.
START CONDITION: A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition
which must precede any other command (refer to Start and Stop Definition timing
diagram).
STOP CONDITION: A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition.
After a read sequence, the stop command will place the EEPROM in a standby power
mode (refer to Start and Stop Definition timing diagram).
ACKNOWLEDGE: All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the
EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a zero to acknowledge that it has
received each word. This happens during the ninth clock cycle.
STANDBY MODE: The AT24C164 features a low power standby mode which is
enabled: a) upon power-up and b) after the receipt of the STOP bit and the completion
of any internal operations.
MEMORY RESET: After an interruption in protocol, power loss or system reset, the
AT24C164 can be reset by following these steps:
(a) Clock up to 9 cycles, (b) look for SDA high in each cycle while SCL is high and then
(c) create a start condition as SDA is high.

Device AddressingThe AT24C164 requires an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to
enable the chip for read or write operations (refer to Figure 1). The most significant bit
must be a one followed by the A2, A1 and A0 device select bits (the A1 bit must be the
compliment of the A1 input pin signal). The next 3 bits are used for memory block
addressing and select one of the eight 256 x 8 memory blocks. These bits should be
considered the three most significant bits of the data word address. The eighth bit of the
device address is the read/write select bit. A read operation is selected if this bit is high
or a write operation is selected if this bit is low.
Upon a compare of the device address, the EEPROM will output a zero. If a compare is
not made, the chip will return to a standby state.
Write OperationsBYTE WRITE: A write operation requires an 8-bit data word address following the
device address word and acknowledgment. Upon receipt of this address, the EEPROM
will again respond with a zero and then clock in the first 8-bit data word. Following
receipt of the 8-bit data word, the EEPROM will output a zero and the addressing
device, such as a microcontroller, must terminate the write sequence with a stop condition. At this time the EEPROM enters an internally-timed write cycle, t
nonvolatile memory. All inputs are disabled during this write cycle and the EEPROM will
not respond until the write is complete (refer to Figure 2).

WR
PAG E W R IT E: The AT24C164 is capable of a 16-byte page write. A page write is initiated the same as a byte write, but the microcontroller does not send a stop condition
after the first data word is clocked in. Instead, after the EEPROM acknowledges receipt
of the first data word, the microcontroller can transmit up to fifteen more data words. The
EEPROM will respond with a zero after each data word received. The microcontroller
must terminate the page write sequence with a stop condition (refer to Figure 3).
The data word address lower 4 bits are internally incremented following the receipt of
each data word. The higher data word address bits are not incremented retaining the
memory page row location. When the word address, internally generated, reaches the
page boundary, the following byte is placed at the beginning of the same page. If more
than sixteen data words are transmitted to the EEPROM, the data word address will “roll
over” and previous data will be overwritten.
ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING: Once the internally-timed write cycle has started and the
EEPROM inputs are disabled, acknowledge polling can be initiated. This involves sending a start condition followed by the device address word. The read/write bit is
representative of the operation desired. Only if the internal write cycle has completed
will the EEPROM respond with a zero allowing the read or write sequence to continue.

Read OperationsRead operations are initiated the same way as write operations with the exception that
the read/write select bit in the device address word is set to one. There are three read
operations: current address read, random address read and sequential read.
CURRENT ADDRESS READ: The internal data word address counter maintains the
last address accessed during the last read or write operation, incremented by one. This
address stays valid between operations as long as the chip power is maintained. The
address “roll over” during read is from the last byte of the last memory page to the first
byte of the first page. The address “roll over” during write is from the last byte of the cur-
rent page to first byte of the same page.
Oncethedeviceaddresswiththeread/writeselectbitsettooneisclockedinand
acknowledged by the EEPROM, the current address data word is serially clocked out.
The microcontroller does not respond with an input zero but does generate a following
stop condition (refer to Figure 4).
RANDOM READ: A random read requires a “dummy” byte write sequence to load in the
data word address. Once the device address word and data word address are clocked
in and acknowledged by the EEPROM, the microcontroller must generate another start
condition. The microcontroller now initiates a current address read by sending a device
address with the read/write select bit high. The EEPROM acknowledges the device
address and serially clocks out the data word. The microcontroller does not respond
with a zero but does generate a following stop condition (refer to Figure 5).
SEQUENTIAL READ: Sequential reads are initiated by either a current address read or
a random address read. After the microcontroller receives a data word, it responds with
an acknowledge. As long as the EEPROM receives an acknowledge, it will continue to
increment the data word address and serially clock out sequential data words. When the
memory address limit is reached, the data word address will “roll over” and the sequential read will continue. The sequential read operation is terminated when the
microcontroller does not respond with a zero but does generate a following stop condition (refer to Figure 6).
