WRITE COMMAND
●Transmit-only mode
・After power is on, the BR24C21/F/FJ/FV is in Transmit-Only Mode. In this mode data can be output by providing the clock
to the VCLK pin.
・When the power is on, the SCL pin needs to be set to VCC(High level).
・SDA is at high-impedance during input of the first 9 clocks. At the 10th rising clock edge of VCLK data is output. After
power on, the output data is as follows:
00h address data → 01h address data → 02h address data →
…
The address is incremented by one, after every 9 clocks of VCLK. All addresses are output in this mode.
When the counter reaches the last address, the next output data is 00h address data. (See Fig. 6)
・In this mode, the NULL bit (High data) is output between the address data and the next address data. (See Fig. 7)
・The read operation is in Transmit-Only Mode and can be started after the power is stabilized.
・The BR24C21/F/FJ/FV can be switched from Transmit-Only Mode to Bi-directional Mode by providing a valid High to Low
transition at the SCL pin, while the state of SDA is at high-impedance.
・After a valid high to low transition on the SCL pin, the BR24C21/F/FJ/FV begins to count the VCLK clock. If the VCLK
counter reaches 128 clocks without the command for Bi-directional Mode, the device reverts to Transmit-Only Mode
(Recovery function). The VCLK counter is reset by providing a valid high to low transition at the SCL pin. After reversal
to Transmit-Only Mode the device begins to output data (00h address data) with the 129th rising clock edge of VCLK.
・If the BR24C21/F/FJ/FV is switched from Transmit-Only Mode and receives the command for Bi-directional
Mode and responds with an Acknowledge, it is impossible to revert to Transmit-Only Mode. (Power down
way to revert to Transmit-Only Mode.) Unless the input device code is “1010”, the device does
Acknowledge. If the VCLK counter reaches 128 clocks afterwards, it is possible to revert

is the only
Recovery function. If the Master generates a STOP condition during the Slave address, before an Acknowledge is input,
it is possible to revert to Transmit-Only Mode.
・When the device is switched from Transmit-Only Mode to Bi-direction Mode, the period of tVHZ needs to be held.

○Bi-directional Mode
START Condition
・All commands are proceeded by the START condition, which is a High to Low transition of SDA when SCL is High.
・The BR24C21/F/FJ/FV continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the START condition and will not respond to
any commands until this condition has been met.
(See Fig. 3 Synchronous Data Timing)
STOP Condition
・All commands must be terminated by a STOP condition, which is a Low to High transition of SDA when SCL is High.
・The STOP condition causes the internal write cycle to write data into the memory array after a write sequence.
・The STOP condition is also used to place the device into standby power mode after read sequences.
・A STOP condition can only be issued after the transmitting device has released the bus.
(See Fig.3 Synchronous Data Timing)
Device Addressing
・Following the START condition, the Master outputs the device address of the Slave to be accessed. The most
significant four bits of Slave address are the “device type indentifier,” For the BR24C21/F/FJ/FV this is fixed as
“1010.”
・The next three bits of the slave address are inconsequential.
・The last bit of the stream determines the operation to be performed. When set to “1”, a READ operation is selected.
When set to “0”, a WRITE operation is initiated.

○Write Protect Function
・Write Enable (VCLK)
When using the BR24C21/F/FJ/FV in Bi-directional Mode, the VCLK pin can be used as a write enable pin. Setting
VCLK High allows normal write operations, while setting VCLK low prevents writing to any location in the array.
(See Fig.5 Write Enable Timing)
Changing VCLK from High to Low during the self-timed program operation will not halt programming of the device.
When the Master generates a STOP condition, the BR24C21/F/FJ/FV begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile array.

○Page Write
If the Master transmits the next data instead of generating a STOP condition during the byte write cycle, the
BR24C21/F/FJ/FV transfers from byte write function to page write function. After receipt of each word, the three lower
order address bits are internally incremented by one, while the high order four bits of the word address remains
constant.
If the master transmits more than eight words, prior to generating the STOP condition, the address counter will “roll

○Current Read
The BR24C21/F/FJ/FV contains an internal address counter which maintains the address of the last word accessed,
incremented by one. If the last accessed address is address “n” in a Read operation, the next Read operation will
access data from address “n+1” and increment the current address counter. If the last accessed address is address
”n” in a Write operation, the next Read operation will access data from address “n”. If the Master does not transfer an
Acknowledge, but does generate a STOP condition, the current address read operation will only provide a single byte of
At this point, the device discontinues transmission.
The Random read operation allows the Master to access any memory location. This operation involves a two-step
process. First, the Master issues a Write command that includes the START condition and the Slave address field
(with R/W set to “0”) followed by the word address of the word to be read. This procedure sets the internal address
counter of the BR24C21/F/FJ/FV to the desired address. After the word address Acknowledge is received by the
Master, the Master immediately re-issues a START condition followed by the Slave address field with R/W set to “1.”
The device will respond with an Acknowledge and then transmit the 8-data bits stored at the addressed location. If the
Master does not acknowledge the transmission but does generate the STOP condition, the IC will discontinue
transmission.

○Sequential Read
・If the Master does not transfer an Acknowledge and does not generate a STOP condition during the current Read
operation, the BR24C21/F/FJ/FV continues to output the next address data in sequence. For Read operations, all bits
in the address counter are incremented, allowing the entire array to be read during a single operation. When the
counter reaches the top of the array, it will “roll over” to the bottom of the array and continue to transmit data.
・If the Master does not acknowledge the transmission but does generate a STOP condition, at this point the device
discontinues transmission.
・The sequential Read operation can be performed with both Current Read and Random Read.

○DDCENA Operation
When DDCENA is set to High, SCL_PC0/1 and SDA_PC0/1 will be connected to SCL_MON and SDA_MON,
respectively. Therefore, monitoring of the communications between the PC and EEPROM, and the communications of
the MONITOR and PC, is possible.
Selection of PC0/PC1 is determined according to the state of the DUALPCB and BANKSEL inputs.
When DDCENA is Low, the SCL/SDA_MON output is set to "Hi-Z".

○WP
When WP=Low, all data at all addresses are write-protected. The terminal has a built-in pull down resister. Make sure
that WP=High when writing data.
Utilize this function in order to prevent incorrect write command input from the PC, as well as incorrect input during
communication between the PC and monitor.
The data read function allows simultaneous read from SCL_PC0/1, SDA_PC0/1 in DUAL PORT mode.
○Data Write
Write operation is performed using either PC0/1 (SCL or SDA) even when accessed simultaneously in DUAL PORT mod e.
Port selection is made by detecting the data D0 of the first byte of the WRITE command input.
After this, the other port is made unavailable for both READ and WRITE commands until the write operation is completed.

○Current Read
In case the previous operation is random or current read (which includes sequential read), the internal address counter
is increased by one from the last acceseed address (n). Thus current read outputs the data of the next word address
(n+1).
If the last command is byte or page write, the internal address stays at the last address(n). Thus current read outputs
the data of the word address (n).
If the master does not transfer the Acknowledge, but does generate a stop condition, the current address read operation
only provides a single byte of data.

During the Current read operation, if an Acknowledge is detected, and no STOP condition is generated by the
master(µ-COM), the device will continue to transmit the data. (It can transmit all data(1Kbit 128word)). If an
Acknowledge is not detected, the devive will terminate further data transmissions and await a STOP condition before
returning to the standby mode. The Sequential Read operation can be performed with both Current Read and

●Peripheral Circuits
○DUAL PORT
DUAL PORTs are used to connect two PCs to one monitor. PC0 is connected to BANK0 and PC1 to BANK1. Each bank
operates as 1Kbit EEPROM.
○ To Use DUAL PORT
Start the operation of the DUAL PORT by following the instructions below:
1. Set the DUAL PCB to LOW with neither of the ports being operated by commands.
2. Input the command from PC0 or PC1.
○ Simultaneous Access
<READ OPERATION>
EEPROM data read allows simultaneous access from PC0, PC1 ports.
<WRITE OPERATION>
Write operation is performed for either of PC0/1 even when accessed simultaneously from both.
Port selection is made by detecting the data D0 of the first byte of the WRITE command input.
Write operation is performed only for the port where D0 of the first byte of the write data is detected first.

●Acknowledge Polling
Since the device ignores all input commands during the internal write cycle, no ACK will be returned. When the master sends
the next command following the write command, and the device returns the ACK, it means that the program is completed. If
no ACK is returned, it means that the device is still busy. By using Acknowledge polling, the waiting time is minimized to less
than tWR=5ms. To prevent operating Write or Current Read immediately after Write, first send the slave address (R/W is
"High" or "Low"). After the device returns the ACK, continue word address input or data output, respectively.

●Vcc NOISE
○Bypass Condenser
Noise and surges on power line may cause abnormal function. It is recommended that the bypass condensers (0.1µF) are
attached on the Vcc and GND line beside the device. It is also recommended to attach bypass condensers on the board
close to the connector.
1) Described numeric values and data are design representative values, and the values are not guaranteed.
2) We believe that application circuit examples are recommendable, however, in actual use, confirm characteristics further
sufficiently. In the case of use by changing the fixed number of external parts, make your decision with sufficient margin
in consideration of static characteristics and transition characteristics and fluctuations of external parts and our LSI.
3) Absolute maximum ratings
If the absolute maximum ratings such as impressed voltage and operating temperature range and so forth are
exceeded, LSI may be destructed. Do not impress voltage and temperature exceeding the absolute maximum ratings.
In the case of fear exceeding the absolute maximum ratings, take physical safety countermeasures such as fuses, and
see to it that conditions exceeding the absolute maximum ratings should not be impressed to LSI.
4) GND electric potential
Set the voltage of GND terminal lowest at any action condition. Make sure that each terminal voltages is lower than that
of GND terminal.
5) Heat design
In consideration of permissible dissipation in actual use condition, carry out heat design with sufficient margin.
6) Terminal to terminal shortcircuit and wrong packaging
When to package LSI onto a board, pay sufficient attention to LSI direction and displacement. Wrong packaging may
destruct LSI. And in the case of shortcircuit between LSI terminals and terminals and power source, terminal and GND
owing to foreign matter, LSI may be destructed.
