SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Clock (SCL)
This input signal is used to strobe all data in and
out of the device. In applications where this signal
is used by slave devices to synchronize the bus to
a slower clock, the bus master must have an open
drain output, and a pull-up resistor must be connected from Serial Clock (SCL) to V
. (Figure 4
CC
indicates how the value of the pull-up resistor c an
be calculated). In most applications, thoug h, this
method of synchronization is no t employed, and
so the pull-up resistor is not necessary, provided
that the bus master has a push-pull (rather than
open drain) output.
Serial Data (SDA)
This bi-directional signal is used to transfer data in
or out of the device. It is an open drain output that
may be wire-OR’ed with other op en drai n or open
collector signals on the bus. A pull up resistor must
be connected from Serial Data (SDA) to V
CC
. (Figure 4 indicates how the value of the pull-up resistor
can be calculated).
M24256-B, M24128-B
Chip Enable (E0, E1, E2)
These input signals 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 must be tied to V
Device Select Code.
Write Control (WC
This input signal is useful for protecting the entire
contents of the memory from inadvertent write operations. Write operations are disabled to the entire memory array when Write Control (WC

C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 5. Any device that sends data on
to the bus is defined to be a transmitter, a nd any
device that reads the data to be a receiver. The
device that controls the data transfer is kn own as
the bus master, and the other as the slave device.
A data transfer can only be initiated by the bus
master, w h ic h will also provide t he s er ial clock for
synchronization. The M24xxx-B d evice i s a lways a
slave in all communication.
Start Condition
Start is identified by a falling edge of Serial Data
(SDA) while Serial Clock (SCL) is stable in the
High state. A Start condition must precede any
data transfer command. The devi ce continuously
monitors (except duri ng a Write cycle ) Se rial Data
(SDA) and Serial Clock (SCL) for a Start condition,
and will not respond unless one is give n.
Stop Condition
Stop is identified by a rising edg e of Serial Data
(SDA) while Serial Clock (SCL) is stable and driven High. A Stop condition terminates communication between the device and the bus master. A
Read command that is followed by NoAck can be
followed by a Stop condition to force the device
into the Stand-by mode. A Stop condition at the
end of a Write command triggers the internal EEPROM Wr ite cycle .
Acknowledge Bit (ACK)
The acknowledge bit is used to indicate a successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter, whether it be
bus master or slave device, releases Serial Data
(SDA) after sending eight bits of data. During the
th
clock pulse period, the receiver pulls Serial
9
Data (SDA) Low to acknowledge the receipt of the
eight data bits.
Data Input
During data input, the device samples Serial Data
(SDA) on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCL).
For correct device operation, Serial Data (SDA)
must be stable during the rising edge of Serial
Clock (SCL), and the Serial Data (SDA) signal
only
must change
when Serial Clock (SCL) is driv-
en Low.
Memory Addressing
To start communication betwee n the bus master
and the slave device, the bus mas ter mus t initiate
a Start condition. Following this, the bu s master
sends the Device Select Code, shown in Tabl e 2
(on Serial Data (SDA), most significant bit first).
The Device Select Code consists of a 4-bit Device
Type Identifier, and a 3-bit Chip Enable “Address”
(E2, E1, E0). To address the memory array, the 4bit Device Type Identifier is 1010b.
Up to eight memory devices can be connected on
a single I
2
C bus. Each one is given a uniq ue 3-bit
code on the Chip Enable (E0, E1, E2) inputs.
When the Device Select Code is received on Serial Data (SDA), the device only responds if the Chip
Enable Address is the same as the value on the
Chip Enable (E0, E1, E2) inputs.
th
The 8
bit is the Read/Write bit (RW). This bit is
set to 1 for Read and 0 for Write operations.
If a match occurs on the Device Select code, the
corresponding device gives an acknowledgment
on Serial Data (SDA) during the 9
th
bit time. If the
device does not match the Device Select code, it
deselects itself from the bus, and goes into Standby mode.

Write Operations
Following a Start condition the bus mast er sends
a Device Select Code with the RW
bit rese t to 0 .
The device acknowledges this, as shown in Figure
7, and waits for two address bytes. The device responds to each address byte with an acknowledge
bit, and then waits for the data byte.
Writing to the memory may be inhibited if Write
Control (WC
with Write Control (WC
) is driven High. Any Write instruction
) driven High (during a period of time from the Start condition until the end of
the two address bytes) will not modify the memory
contents, and the accompanying data bytes are
not
acknowledged, as shown in Figure 6.
Each data byte in the m emory has a 16-bit (two
byte wide) address. The Most Significant Byte (Table 3) is sent first, followed by t he Least Significant
Byte (Table 4). Bits b15 to b0 form t he add ress of
the byte in memory.
When the bus mast er generate s a Stop con dition
immediately after the Ack bi t (in t he “10

bit” time
Write, the internal memory Write cycle is triggered.
A Stop condition at any other time slot does not
trigger the internal Write cycle.
During the internal Write cycle, Serial Data (SDA)
is disabled internally, and the devi ce does not respond to any requests.
Byte Write
After the Device Select code and the address
bytes, the bus master sends one dat a byte. If the
addressed location is Write-protected, by Write
Control (WC
with NoAck, and the location is not modified. If, instead, the addressed location is not Write-protected, the device replies with Ack. The bus ma ster
terminates the transfer by generating a S top condition, as shown in Figure 7.
Page Write
The Page Write mode allows u p to 64 by tes to be
written in a single Write cycle, provided that they

to the end of the row, a condition known as ‘rollover’ occurs. This should be avoided, as data
starts to become overwritten in an implementation
dependent way.
The bus master sends fr om 1 to 64 bytes of data,

Minimizing System Delays by Polling On ACK
During the internal Write cycle, the device disconnects itself from the bus, and writes a copy of the
data from its internal latches to the memory cells.
The maximum Write time (t
) is shown in Tables
w
20 and 21, but the typical time is shorter. To make
use of this, a polling sequence can be used by the
bus master.
The sequence, as shown in Figure 8, is:

– Step 1: the bus master issues a Start condition
followed by a Device Select Code (the first byte
of the new instruction).
– Step 2: if the device is busy with the internal
Write cycle, no Ack will be returned and the bus
master goes back to Step 1. If the device has
terminated the internal Write cycle, it responds
with an Ack, indicating that the device is ready
to receive the second part of the instruction (the
first byte of this instruction having been sent
during Step 1).
