X24C01A
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock all data into and out of the device.
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the device. It is an open drain output and may be wire-ORed with any number of open drain or open collector outputs.
An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up resistor. For selecting typical values, refer to the Guidelines for Calculating Typical Values of Bus Pull-Up Resistors graph.
Address (A0, A1, A2)
The address inputs are used to set the least significant three bits of the seven bit slave address. These inputs can be static or actively driven. If used statically they must be tied to VSS or VCC as appropriate. If actively driven, they must be driven to VSS or to VCC.
WRITE CONTROL (WC)
The Write Control input controls the ability to write to the device. When WC is LOW (tied to VSS) the X24C01A will be enabled to perform write operations. When WC is HIGH (tied to VCC) the internal high voltage circuitry will be disabled and all writes will be disabled.
DEVICE OPERATION
The X24C01A supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data onto the bus as a transmitter, and the receiving device as the receiver. The device controlling the transfer is a master and the device being controlled is the slave. The master will always initiate data transfers and provide the clock for both transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the X24C01A will be considered a slave in all applications.

Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop conditions. Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the start condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The X24C01A continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to any command until this condition has been met.

Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is also used by the X24C01A to place the device into the standby power mode after a read sequence. A stop condition can only be issued after the transmitting device has released the bus.
Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate successful data transfers. The transmitting device will release the bus after transmitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle the receiver will pull the SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received the eight bits of data. Refer to Figure 3.
Figure 3. Acknowledge Response From Receiver
The X24C01A will respond with an acknowledge after recognition of a start condition and its slave address. If both the device and a write operation have been selected, the X24C01A will respond with an acknowledge after the receipt of each subsequent eight bit word.
In the read mode the X24C01A will transmit eight bits of data, release the SDA line and monitor the line for an acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no stop condition is generated by the master, the X24C01A will continue to transmit data. If an acknowledge is not detected, the X24C01A will terminate further data transmissions. The master must then issue a stop condition to return the X24C01A to the standby power mode and place the device into a known state.

DEVICE ADDRESSING
Following a start condition the master must output the address of the slave it is accessing. The most significant four bits of the slave address are the device type identifier (see Figure 4). For the X24C01A this is fixed as 1010[B].

DEVICE
ADDRESS
3841 FHD F08
The next three significant bits address a particular device. A system could have up to eight X24C01A devices on the bus (see Figure 10). The eight addresses are defined by the state of the A0, A1 and A2 inputs.
The last bit of the slave address defines the operation to be performed. When set to one a read operation is selected, when set to zero a write operation is selected.
Figure 5. Byte Write
Following the start condition, the X24C01A monitors the SDA bus comparing the slave address being transmitted with its slave address (device type and state of A0, A1 and A2 inputs). Upon a correct compare the X24C01A outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. Depending on the state of the R/W bit, the X24C01A will execute a read or write operation.
WRITE OPERATIONS
Byte Write
For a write operation, the X24C01A requires a second address field. This address field is the word address, comprised of eight bits, providing access to any one of the 128 words of memory. Note: the most significant bit is a don’t care. Upon receipt of the word address the X24C01A responds with an acknowledge, and awaits the next eight bits of data, again responding with an acknowledge. The master then terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition, at which time the X24C01A begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory. While the internal write cycle is in progress the X24C01A inputs are disabled, and the device will not respond to any requests from the master. Refer to Figure 5 for the address, acknowledge and data transfer sequence.
