The M24C64-A125 is a 64-Kbit serial EEPROM Automotive grade device operating up to
125 °C. The M24C64-A125 is compliant with the very high level of reliability defined by the
Automotive standard AEC-Q100 grade 1.
The device is accessed by a simple serial I
The memory array is based on advanced true EEPROM technology (Electrically Erasable
PROgrammable Memory). The M24C64-A125 is a byte-alterable memory (8192 × 8 bits)
organized as 256 pages of 32 bytes in which the data integrity is significantly improved with
an embedded Error Correction Code logic.
The M24C64-A125 offers an additional Identification Page (32 bytes) in which the ST device
identification can be read. This page can also be used to store sensitive application
parameters which can be later permanently locked in read-only mode.

2.1 Serial Clock (SCL)
The signal applied on this 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 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 between SDA and V
to calculate the value of the pull-up resistor).

The I
C bus is controlled by the bus master and the device is always a slave in all
communications.
The device (bus master or a slave) that sends data on to the bus is defined as a transmitter;
the device (bus master or a slave) is defined as a receiver when reading the data.

M24C64-A125Device operation
3.1 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.
3.2 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 Stop condition at the end of a Write instruction triggers the internal Write cycle.
3.3 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.
3.4 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

3.5 Device addressing
To start communication between the bus master and the slave device, the bus master must
initiate a Start condition. Following this, the bus master sends the device select code, as
shown in Ta bl e 2 .
The device select code consists of a 4-bit device type identifier and a 3-bit Chip Enable
address (E2, E1, E0). A device select code handling any value other than 1010b (to select
the memory) or 1011b (to select the Identification page) is not acknowledged by the memory
device.
Up to eight memory devices can be connected on a single I
unique 3-bit code on the Chip Enable (E2, E1, E0) inputs. When the device select code is
received, the memory device only responds if the Chip Enable Address is the same as the
value decoded on the E2, E1, E0 inputs.
th

Once the memory device has acknowledged the device select code (Ta b le 2 ), the memory
device waits for the master to send two address bytes (most significant address byte sent
first, followed by the least significant address byte (Tab le 3 ). The memory device responds
to each address byte with an acknowledge bit.

3.6 Identification page
The M24C64-A125 offers an Identification Page (32 bytes) in addition to the 64 Kbit
memory. This page can be used for several purposes:
●Device identification: the three first bytes of the Identification page are programmed by
STMicroelectronics with the Device identification code, as shown in Tab le 4 .
●Storage of specific parameters: each byte in the Identification page can be written if the
Identification page is not permanently locked in Read-only mode.
●Write protection: once the application-specific parameters are written in the
Identification page, the whole Identification page can be permanently locked in read
only mode.
Read, write and lock Identification Page are detailed in Section 4: Instructions.

4.1 Write operations
For a Write operation, the bus master sends a Start condition followed by a device select
code with the R/W bit reset to 0. The device acknowledges this, as shown in Figure 5, and
waits for the master to send two address bytes (most significant address byte sent first,
followed by the least significant address byte (Tab l e 3 ). The device responds to each
address byte with an acknowledge bit, and then waits for the data byte.

4.1.3 Write Identification Page
The Identification Page (32 bytes) is an additional page which can be written and (later)
permanently locked in Read-only mode. It is written by issuing the Write Identification Page
instruction. This instruction uses the same protocol and format as Page Write (into memory
array), except for the following differences:
●Device type identifier = 1011b
●Most significant address bits A15/A5 are don't care, except for address bit A10 which
must be “0”. Least significant address bits A4/A0 define the byte location inside the
Identification page.
If the Identification page is locked, the data bytes transferred during the Write Identification
Page instruction are not acknowledged (NoAck).
4.1.4 Lock Identification Page
The Lock Identification Page instruction (Lock ID) permanently locks the Identification page
in Read-only mode. The Lock ID instruction is similar to Byte Write (into memory array) with
the following specific conditions:
●Device type identifier = 1011b
●Address bit A10 must be ‘1’; all other address bits are don't care
●The data byte must be equal to the binary value xxxx xx1x, where x is don't care

4.1.5 Minimizing Write delays by polling on ACK
The maximum Write time (tw) is shown in AC characteristics tables in Section 8: DC and AC
parameters, 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 7, is:
●Initial condition: a Write cycle is in progress.
●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).

4.2 Read operations
Read operations are performed independently of the state of the Write Control (WC) signal.
After the successful completion of a Read operation, the device internal address counter is
incremented by one, to point to the next byte address.
Figure 8.Read mode sequences
4.2.1 Random Address Read
The Random Address Read is a sequence composed of a truncated Write sequence (to
define a new address pointer value, see Ta b le 3 ) followed by a current Read.
The Random Address Read sequence is therefore the sum of [Start + Device Select code
with RW=0 + two address bytes] (without Stop condition, as shown in Figure 8)] and [Start
condition + Device Select code with RW=1]. The memory device acknowledges the
sequence and then outputs the contents of the addressed byte. To terminate the data
transfer, the bus master does not acknowledge the last data byte and then issues a Stop
condition.
20/37Doc ID 023023 Rev 2
M24C64-A125Instructions
4.2.2 Current Address Read
For the Current Address Read operation, following a Start condition, the bus master only
sends a device select code with the R/W
outputs the byte pointed by the internal address counter. The counter is then incremented.
The bus master terminates the transfer with a Stop condition, as shown in Figure 8, without
acknowledging the byte.
Note that the address counter value is defined by instructions accessing either the memory
or the Identification page. When accessing the Identification page, the address counter
value is loaded with the Identification page byte location, when accessing the memory, it is
safer to always use the Random Address Read instruction (this instruction loads the
address counter with the byte location to read in the memory) instead of the Current
Address Read instruction.
bit set to 1. The device acknowledges this, and
4.2.3 Sequential Read
A sequential Read can be used after a Current Address Read or a Random Address Read.
After a Read instruction, the device can continue to output the next byte(s) in sequence if
the bus master sends additional clock pulses and if the bus master does acknowledge each
transmitted data byte. To terminate the stream of bytes, the bus master must not
acknowledge the last byte, and must generate a Stop condition, as shown in Figure 8.
The sequential read is controlled with the device internal address counter which is
automatically incremented after each byte output. After the last memory address, the
address counter “rolls-over”, and the device continues to output data from memory address
00h.
4.2.4 Read Identification Page
The Identification Page can be read by issuing a Read Identification Page instruction. This
instruction uses the same protocol and format as the Random Address Read (from memory
array) with device type identifier defined as 1011b. The most significant address bits A15/A5
are don't care and the least significant address bits A4/A0 define the byte location inside the
Identification page. The number of bytes to read in the ID page must not exceed the page
boundary.
4.2.5 Read the lock status
The locked/unlocked status of the Identification page can be checked by transmitting a
specific truncated command [Identification Page Write instruction + one data byte] to the
device. The device returns an acknowledge bit after the data byte if the Identification page is
unlocked, otherwise a NoAck bit if the Identification page is locked.
Right after this, it is recommended to transmit to the device a Start condition followed by a
Stop condition, so that:
●Start: the truncated command is not executed because the Start condition resets the
device internal logic,
●Stop: the device is then set back into Standby mode by the Stop condition.
Doc ID 023023 Rev 221/37
InstructionsM24C64-A125
4.2.6 Acknowledge in Read mode
For all Read instructions, the device waits, after each byte sent out, for an acknowledgment
during the 9th bit time. If the bus master does not send the Acknowledge (the master drives
SDA high during the 9th bit time), the device terminates the data transfer and enters its
Standby mode.

5.2 Cycling with Error Correction Code (ECC)
The Error Correction Code (ECC) is an internal logic function which is transparent for the
2
I
C communication protocol.
The ECC logic is implemented on each group of four EEPROM bytes
single bit out of the four bytes happens to be erroneous during a Read operation, the ECC
detects this bit and replaces it with the correct value. The read reliability is therefore much
improved.
Even if the ECC function is performed on groups of four bytes, a single byte can be
written/cycled independently. In this case, the ECC function also writes/cycles the three
other bytes located in the same group
(b)
. As a consequence, the maximum cycling budget is
defined at group level and the cycling can be distributed over the 4 bytes of the group: the
sum of the cycles seen by byte0, byte1, byte2 and byte3 of the same group must remain
below the maximum value defined in Tab le 6 .
Example 1: maximum cycling limit reached with 1 million cycles per byte
Each byte of a group can be equally cycled 1 million times (at 25 °C) so that the group
cycling budget is 4 million cycles.
Example 2: maximum cycling limit reached with unequal byte cycling
(b)
. Inside a group, if a
Inside a group, byte0 can be cycled 2 million times, byte1 can be cycled 1 million times,
byte2 and byte3 can be cycled 500,000 times, so that the group cycling budget is 4 million
cycles.
b. A group of four bytes is located at addresses [4*N, 4*N+1, 4*N+2, 4*N+3], where N is an integer.
