1 Description
The M24C32 is a 32-Kbit I2C-compatible EEPROM (Electrically Erasable PROgrammable
Memory) organized as 4 K × 8 bits.
The M24C32-W can operate with a supply voltage from 2.5 V to 5.5 V, the M24C32-R can
operate with a supply voltage from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, and the M24C32-F and M24C32-DF can
operate with a supply voltage from 1.7 V to 5.5 V, over an ambient temperature range of
-40 °C / +85 °C; while the M24C32-X can operate with a supply voltage from 1.6 V to 5.5 V
over an ambient temperature range of -20 °C / +85 °C.
The M24C32-D offers an additional page, named the Identification Page (32 bytes). The
Identification Page can be used to store sensitive application parameters which can be
(later) permanently locked in Read-only mode.

2 Signal description
2.1 Serial Clock (SCL)
The signal applied on the SCL input is used to strobe the data available on SDA(in) and to
output the data on SDA(out).
2.2 Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is an input/output used to transfer data in or data out of the device. SDA(out) 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 Serial Data (SDA) to V
indicates how to calculate the value of the pull-up resistor).
2.3 Chip Enable (E2, E1, E0)
(E2,E1,E0) 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 (see Ta bl e 2 ). These inputs must

2.5 VSS (ground)
VSS is the reference for the VCC supply voltage.
2.6 Supply voltage (VCC)
2.6.1 Operating supply voltage V
Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable VCC voltage
within the specified [V
(min), VCC(max)] range must be applied (see Operating conditions
CC
in Section 8: DC and AC parameters). In order to secure a stable DC supply voltage, it is
recommended to decouple the V

This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction
and, for a write instruction, until the completion of the internal write cycle (t
2.6.2 Power-up conditions
The VCC voltage has to rise continuously from 0 V up to the minimum VCC operating voltage
(see Operating conditions in Section 8: DC and AC parameters) and the rise time must not
vary faster than 1 V/µs.
2.6.3 Device reset
In order to prevent inadvertent write operations during power-up, a power-on-reset (POR)
circuit is included.
At power-up, the device does not respond to any instruction until V
internal reset threshold voltage. This threshold is lower than the minimum V
voltage (see Operating conditions in Section 8: DC and AC parameters). When V
over the POR threshold, the device is reset and enters the Standby Power mode; however,

In a similar way, during power-down (continuous decrease in V

4 Device operation
The device supports the I2C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 5. 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 bus master, and the
other as the slave device. A data transfer can only be initiated by the bus master, which will
also provide the serial clock for synchronization. The device is always a slave in all
communications.

Device operation M24C32-W M24C32-R M24C32-F M24C32-X M24C32-DF
4.1 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 instruction. The device
continuously monitors (except during a Write cycle) Serial Data (SDA) and Serial Clock
(SCL) for a Start condition.
4.2 Stop condition
Stop is identified by a rising edge 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 instruction that is followed by NoAck can be followed by a Stop
condition to force the device into the Standby mode.
A Stop condition at the end of a Write instruction triggers the internal Write cycle.
4.3 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 must change only when Serial Clock
(SCL) is driven low.
4.4 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 9
