When writing data to the mem ory it responds to th e
8 bits received by asserting an acknowledge bit
during the 9th bit time. When data is read by the
bus master , it acknowledges the receipt of the data
bytes in the same way. Data transfers are terminated with a STOP condition.
Power On Reset: V
CC
lock out write protect. In
order to prevent data corruption and inadvertent
write operations during power up, a Power On
Reset (POR) circuit is implemented. Until the V
CC
voltage has reached the POR threshold v alue, th e
internal reset is active, all operations are disabled
and the device will not respond to any command.
In the same way, when V
CC
drops down from the
operating voltage to below the POR threshold
value, all operations are disabled and the device
will not respond to any command. A stable V
CC
must be applied before applying any logic signal.
SIGNAL DES CRIPTIONS
Serial Clock (SCL). The SCL input pin is used to
synchronize all data in and out of the memory. A
resistor can be connected from the SCL line to V
CC
to act as a pull up (see Figure 3).
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 res istor must be connected from the SDA
bus line to V
CC
to act as pull up (see Figure 3).
Chip Enable (E2 - E0). These chip enable inputs
are used to set the 3 least significant bits (b3, b2,
b1) of the 7 bit device select code. These inputs
may be driven dynamically or t ied to V
CC
or VSS to
establish the device select code.
Mode (MO DE). T he MODE input is available on pin
7 (see also
WC feature) and may be driven dynami-
cally. It must be at V
IL
or VIH for the Byte Write
mode, V
IH
for Multibyte Write mode or VIL for Page
Write mode. When unconnected, the MODE input
is internally read as a V
IH
(Multibyte Write mode).
Write Control (
WC). An hardware Write Control
feature (
WC) is offered only for ST24W02 and
ST25W02 versions on pin 7. This feature is usefull
to protect the contents of the memory from any
erroneous erase/write cy cle. The W rite Control s ignal is used to enable (
WC = VIH) or disable (WC =
V
IL
) the internal write protection. When uncon-
nected, the
WC input is internally read as VIL and
the memory area is not write protected.
