S524AB0X91/B0XB1
32K/64K-bit
Serial EEPROM
for Low Power
Data Sheet
OVERVIEW
The S524AB0X91/B0XB1 serial EEPROM has a 32K/64K-bit (4,096/8,192 bytes) capacity, supporting the
standard I2C™-bus serial interface. It is fabricated using Samsung’s most advanced CMOS technology. It has
been developed for low power and low voltage applications (1.8 V to 5.5 V). One of its major feature is a
hardware-based write protection circuit for the entire memory area. Hardware-based write protection is controlled
by the state of the write-protect (WP) pin. Using one-page write mode, you can load up to 32 bytes of data into
the EEPROM in a single write operation. Another significant feature of the S524AB0X91/B0XB1 is its support for
fast mode and standard mode.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
I2C-BUS INTERFACE
The S524AB0X91/B0XB1 supports the I2C-bus serial interface data transmission protocol. The two-wire bus
consists of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The SDA and the SCL lines must be connected
to VCC by a pull-up resistor that is located somewhere on the bus.
Any device that puts data onto the bus is defined as a “transmitter” and any device that gets data from the bus is
a “receiver.” The bus is controlled by a master device whic h generates the serial clock and start/stop conditions,
controlling bus access. Using the A0, A1, and A2 input pins, up to eight S524AB0X91/B0XB1 devices can be
connected to the same I2C-bus as slaves (see Figure 6-6). Both the master and slaves can operate as a
transmitter or a receiver, but the master device determines which bus operating mode would be active.
