DESCRIPTION

The M34C02 is a 2 Kbit serial EEPROM memory able to lock permanently the data in its first half (from location 00h to 7Fh). This facility has been designed specifically for use in DRAM DIMMs (dual interline memory modules) with Serial Presence Detect. All the information concerning the DRAM module configuration (such as its access speed, its size, its organization) can be kept write protected in the first half of the memory.

This bottom half of the memory area can be writeprotected using a specially designed software write protection mechanism. By sending the device a specific sequence, the first 128 bytes of

The M34C02 is a 2 Kbit electrically erasable programmable memory (EEPROM), organized as

256x8 bits, fabricated with STMicroelectronics’ High Endurance, Advanced, CMOS technology. This guarantees an endurance typically well above one millio n Erase/Wri te cycles, with a data retention of 40 years. These memory devices operate with a power supply down to 2.2 V for the M34C02-L.

The M34C02 is available in Plastic Dual In-line, Plastic Small Outline and Thin Shrink Small Outline packages.

These memory devices are compatible with the

C memory standard. This is a two wire serial

interface that uses a bi-directional data bus and serial clock. The memory carries a built-in 4-bit Device Type Identifier code (1010) in accordance with the I

C bus definition to access the memory area and a second Device Type Identifier Code (0110) to access the Protection Regist er. These codes are used together with three chip enable inputs (E2, E1, E0) so that up to eight 2 Kbit devices may be attached to the I²C bus and selected individually.

The memory behaves as a slave device in the I

protocol, with all memory operations synchronized by the serial clock. Read and Write operations are initiated by a START condition, genera ted by the bus master. The START condition is followed by a Device Select Code and RW

bit (as described in

Table 3), terminated by an acknowledge bit. When writing data to the memory, the memory

inserts an acknowledge bit during the 9

bit time,

following the bus master’s 8-bit transmission.

When data is read by the bus master, the bus master acknowledges the receipt of the data byte in the same way. Data transfers are terminated by a STOP condition after an Ack for WRITE, and after a NoAck for READ.

Power On Reset: V

Lock-Out Write Protect

In order to prevent data corruption and inadvertent write operations during power up, a Power On Reset (POR) circuit is included. The internal reset is held active until the V

voltage has reached

the POR threshold value, and all operations are

disabled – the device will not respond to any command. In the same way, when V

drops from

the operating voltage, below the POR threshold value, all operations are disabled an d the device will not respond to any command. A stable and valid V

must be applied before applying any

logic signal.

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 c onnected from the SCL line to V

. (Figure 3 indicates how

the value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated). In most applications, though, this method of synchronization is not employed, and so the pullup 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 f rom the SDA bus to V

. (Figure 3 indicates how t he 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

or VSS to establish the device select code.

Write Control (WC

A hardware Write Control (WC

)

, pin 7) is provided for protecting the contents of the whole memory from erroneous erase/write cycles. The Write Control signal is used to enable (WC disable (WC

=VIH) write instructions to the entire

=VIL) or

memory area or to the Protection Register. When WC

is tied to VSS or left unc onnected, the write protection of the first half of the memory is determined by the status of the Protection Register.

DEVICE OPERATION

The memory device supports the I

C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 4. Any device that sends data on to the bus is defined to be a transmitter, and any device that reads the data to be a receiver. The device that controls the data transfer is known as the master, and the other as the slave. A data transfer can o nly be initiated by the master, which will also provide the serial clock for synchronization. The memory device is always a slave device in all communication.

Start Condition

START is identified by a high t o low transition of the SDA line while the clock, SCL, is stable in t he high state. A START condition must precede any data transfer command. The memory device continuously monitors (except during a programming 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 STOP condition terminates communication between the m emory device and the bus master. A STOP condition at the end of a Read command, provided th at it is followed by a NoAck, forces the memory device into its st andby state. A STOP condition at the end of a Write

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

only

transition, 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 is further subdivided into: a 4-bit Device Type

Identifier, and a 3-bit Chip Enable “Address” (E2, E1, E0 ) .

To address the memory array, the 4-bit Device Type Identifier is 1010b. To address the Protection Register, it is 0110b.

If all three chip enable inputs are connected, up to eight memory devices can be connected on a single I

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

The 8

bit is the read or write bit (RW). This bit is

set to ‘1’ for read and ‘0’ for write operations. If a

1 START, Device Select, RW = ‘0’

≤ 16 START, Device Select, RW = ‘0’

match occurs on the Device Select Code, the corresponding memory gives an acknowledgment on the SDA bus during the 9

bit time. If the memory does not match the Device Select code, it will deselect itself from the bus, and go into standby mode.

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 4. The memory acknowledges this, and waits for an address byte. The memory responds to the 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.

Byte Write

In the Byte Write mode, after the Device Select Code and the address byte, the master sends one data byte. If the addressed location is in a write protected area, the memory replies with a NoA ck, and the location is not modified. If, instead, the addressed location is not in a write protected area, the memory replies with an Ack. The master terminates the transfer by generating a STOP condition.

Page Write

The Page Write mode allows u p to 16 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 (b7-b4) are the same. I f m ore byt es 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 16 bytes of data, each of which is acknow ledged 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. After each byte is transferred, the internal byte address counter (the 4 least

When the master generates a STOP condition

immediately after the Ack bi t (in t he “10

bit” time slot), either at the end of a byte write or a page write, the internal memory write cycle is triggered. A STOP condition at any other time does not trigger the internal write cycle.

During the internal write cycle, the SDA input is disabled internally, and the device does not respond to any requests.

Minimizing System Delays by Polling On ACK

During the internal write cycle, the memory disconnects itself from the bus, and copies the data from its internal latches to the memory cells. The maximum write time (t

) is shown in Table 9,

but the typical time is shorter. To make use of this, an Ack polling sequence can be used by the master.
