SIGNAL DESCRIPTION Serial Clock (SCL)

The SCL input pin is used to strobe all data in and out of the memory. In applications where this line is used by slaves to synchronize the bus to a slower clock, the master must have an open drain output, and a pull-up resistor must be connected from the SCL line to V

. (Figure 3 indicates how the

value of the pull-up res istor c an be calculated). In most applications, though, this method of synchronization is not employed, and so the pull-up resistor is not necessary, provided that the master has a push-pull (rather than open drain) output.

Serial Data (SDA)

The SDA pin is bi-directional, and is used to transfer data in or out of the memory. It is an open drain

output that may be wire-OR’ed with other open drain or open collector signals on the bus. A pull up resistor must be connected from the SDA bus to V

. (Figure 3 indicates how the value of the

pull-up resistor can be calculated).

Chip Enable (E2, E1, E0)

These chip enable inputs are used to set the value that is to be looked for on the three least significant bits (b3, b2, b1) of the 7-bit device select code. These inputs may be driven dynamically or tied to V

or VSS to establish the device select code (but

note that the V

and VIH levels for the inputs are

CMOS compatible, not TTL compatible). When unconnected, the E2, E 1 and E0 inp uts are in ternally read as V

Write Control (WC

The hardware Write Control pin (WC

(see Table 7 and Table 8)

)

) is useful for protecting the entire contents of the memory from inadvertent erase/write. The Write Control signal is used to enable (WC

=VIL) or disable (WC=VIH)

write instructions to the entire memory area. When unconnected, the WC V

DEVICE OPERATION

The memory device supports the I

C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 4, and is compared with other serial bus protocols in Application Note

AN1001

. Any device that sends data on to the bus is defined to be a transm itter, and any device that reads the data to be a receiver. The device that controls the data transfer is k nown as the master, and the other as the slave. A data transfer can only be initiated by the mas ter, which wi ll also provide the serial clock for synchronization. The memory device is always a slave device in all comm unication.

Start Condition

START is identified by a high t o low transition of the SDA line while the clock, SCL, is s table i n t he high state. A START condition must precede any data transfer comman d. Th e m em ory devi ce continuously monitors (except during a program ming cycle) the SDA and SCL lines for a START condition, and will not respond unless one is given.

Stop Condition

STOP is identified by a low to high transition of the SDA line wh ile th e clock S CL is sta ble in the h igh state. A STO P condition terminates c ommunication between the memory device and the bus master. A STOP condition at the end of a Read

command, after (and only after) a NoAck, forces the memory device into its standby state. A STOP condition at the end of a Write command triggers the interna l EEPRO M write cycle.

Acknowledge Bit (ACK)

An acknowledge signal is used to indicate a successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter, whether it be master or slave, releases the SDA bus after sending eight bits of data. During the 9

clock pulse period, the receiver pulls the SDA bus low to acknowledge the receipt of the eight data bits.

Data Input

During data input, the memory device samples the SDA bus signal on the rising edge of the clock, SCL. For correct device operation, the SDA signal must be stable during the clock low-to-high transi-

only

tion, and the data must change

when the SCL

line is low.

Memory Addressing

To start communication betwee n the bus master and the slave memory, the master must initiate a START condition. Following this, the master sends the 8-bit byte, shown in Table 3, on the SDA bus line (most significant bit first). This consists of the 7-bit Device Select Code, and the 1-bit Read/Write Designator (RW). The Device Select Code i s further su bdi v i de d i n to : a 4 -b i t D e vi c e Type I d en t if i er ,

and a 3-bit Chip Enable “Address” (E2, E1, E0). To address the memory array, the 4-bit Device

Type Identifier is 1010b. Up to eight memory devices can be connected on

a single I

C bus. Each one is given a uniq ue 3-bit code on its Chip Enable inputs. When the Device Select Code is received on the SDA bus, the memory only responds if the Chip Select Code is the same as the pattern applied to its Chip Enable pins.

Note: 1. The most significant bit, b7, is sent firs t.

The 8th bit is th e RW bit. This is set to ‘1’ for read

and ‘0’ for write operations. If a match occurs on the Device Select Cod e, th e corresponding memory gives an acknowledgment on the SDA bus during the 9

bit time. If the memo ry does n ot match the Device Select Code, it deselects itself from the bus, and goes into stand-by mode.

b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0

There are two modes both for read and write. These are summarized in Table 6 and described later. A communication between the m aster and the slave is ended with a STOP condition.

Each data byte in the m emory has a 16-bit (two byte wide) address. The Most Significant Byte (Table 4) is sent first, f ollowed by the Least significant Byte (Table 5). Bits b15 to b0 form t he addre ss of the byte in memory.

Byte Write

In the Byte Write mode, after the Device Select Code and the address bytes, the master sends one data byte. If the addressed lo cation is write protected by the WC

pin, the memory replies with a NoAck, and the location is not modified. If, instead, the WC

pin has been held at 0, as shown in Figure 6, the memory replies with an Ack. The master terminates the transfer by generating a

Write Operations

Following a START con dition the ma ster sends a Device Select Code with the RW

bit set to ’0’, as shown in Table 6. The memory acknowledges this, and waits for two address bytes. The memory responds to each address byte with an acknowledge bit, and then waits for the data byte.

Writing to the memory may be inhibited if the WC input pin is taken high. Any write command with WC

=1 (during a period of time from the START condition until the end of the two address bytes) will not modify the me mory c ontents, and t he ac-

not

companying data bytes will

Page Write

The Page Write mode allows up to 128 bytes to be written in a single write cycle, provided that they are all located in the same ’row’ in the memory: that is the most significant memory add ress bits (b15-b7) are the same. If more bytes are sent than will fit up to t he en d of t he row, a condition known as ‘roll-over’ occurs. Data starts to become overwritten (in a way not formally specified in this data sheet).

The master sends from one up to 128 bytes of data, each of which is acknowledged by the memory if the WC

pin is low. If the WC pin is high, the contents of the addressed memory location are not modified, and each data byte is followed by a
