2.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 2-1.
TABLE 2-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
2.1 A1, A2 Chip Address Inputs
The A1 and A2 inputs are used by the 24XX1026 for
multiple device operations. The levels on these inputs
are compared with the corresponding bits in the slave
address. The chip is selected if the comparison is true.
Up to four devices may be connected to the same bus
by usin g diffe rent Chip Select bit c ombinations . In most
applications, the chip address inputs A1 and A2 are
hard-wired to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’. For applications in
whic h t h es e pin s ar e c o nt ro ll ed b y a m ic rocont r ol l er o r
other programmable device, the chip address pins
must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’ before normal
device operation can proceed.
2.2 Serial Data (SDA)
This is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and data out of the device. It is an open-
drain terminal, therefore, the SDA bus requires a pull-
up resistor to VCC (typic al 10 k for 100 kHz, 2 kfor
400kHz and 1MHz).
For norma l data trans fer SDA is all owed to change only
during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indi cating the Start and Stop co nditions.
2.3 Serial Clock (SCL)
This i nput is u sed t o sy nchron ize the d ata trans fer fro m
and to the device.
2.4 Write-Protect (WP)
This pin must be conn ected to eith er VSS or VCC. If tied
to VSS, write operations are enabled. If tied to VCC,
write operations are inhibited, but read operations are
not affected.

3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24XX1026 supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a device
receiving data as a receiver. The bus must be
controlled by a master device which generates the
Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and
generates the Start and Stop conditions while the
24XX1026 works as a slave. Both master and slave
can opera te as a transm itter or recei ver , but the master
device determines which mode is activated.

24AA1026/24LC1026/24FC1026
4.0 BUS CHARACTERISTICS
The following bus protocol has been defined:
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
During data transfer, the data line must remain
stab le when ever th e clock lin e is high . Change s in
the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a Start or Stop condition.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Figure 4-1).
4.1 Bus Not Busy (A)
Both data and clock lines remain high.
4.2 Start Data Transfer (B)
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Start condition. All
commands must be preceded by a Start condition.
4.3 S top Data Transfer (C)
A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Stop condition. All
operations must end with a Stop condition.
4.4 Data Valid (D)
The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a Start condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the high period of the cl ock s ignal.
The data on the line must be changed during the low
period of the clock signal. There is one bit of data per
clock pulse.
Each dat a transf er is initiated w ith a S tart condition an d
terminated with a Stop condition. The number of the
data bytes transferred between the Start and Stop
conditions is determined by the master device.
4.5 Acknowledge
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an Acknowledge signal after the reception of
each byte. The master device must generate an extra
clock pulse which is associated with this Acknowledge
bit.
A device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA
line during the Acknowledge clock pulse in such a way
that the SD A line is sta ble low d uring the high pe riod of
the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course, setup
and hold times must be taken into account. During
reads, a maste r mus t sign al an e nd of dat a to the sl ave
by NOT gene rating an Acknowl edge bit on the las t byte
that has been cl ocke d out o f the slave . In th is ca se , the
slave (24XX1026) will leave the data line high to en able
the master to generate the Stop condition.
FIGURE 4-1: DATA TRANSFER SEQUENCE ON THE SERIAL BUS
FIGURE 4-2: ACKNOWLEDGE TIMING
Note: The 24XX1026 does not generate any
Acknowledge bits if an internal program-
ming cycle is in progress, however, the
control byte that is being polled must
match the control byte used to initiate the
write cycle.

5.0 DEVICE ADDRESSING
A control byte is the first byte received following the
Start condition from the master device (Figure 5-1).
The con trol b yte c onsis ts of a 4-bit con trol c ode; fo r the
24XX1026, this is set as ‘1010’ binary for read and
write operations. The next two bits of the control byte
are the Chip Select bits (A2, A1). The Chip Select bits
allow the use of up to four 24XX1026 devices on the
same bus and are used to select which device is
accessed. The Chip Select bits in the control byte must
corresp ond to the logi c le ve ls on the corre sp ond ing A2
and A1 p ins for th e devic e to resp ond. Thes e bits are in
effect the two Most Significant bits (MSb) of the word
address. The next bit of the control byte is the block
select bit (B0). This bit acts as the A16 address bit for
accessing the entire array.
The last bit of the control byte defines the operation to
be performed. When set to a one, a read operation is
selected, and when set to a zero, a write operation is
selected. The next two bytes received define the
address of the first data byte (Figure 5-2). The upper
address bits are transferred first, followed by the Least
Significant bits (LSb).
Following the Start condition, the 24XX1026 monitors
the SDA bus checking the device type identifier being
transmitted. Upon receiving a ‘1010’ code and
appropri ate dev ice s elect b its , the s lave d evice output s
an Ackn owle dge si gnal on the SDA li ne. Dependi ng on
the state of the R/W bit, the 24XX1026 will select a read
or write operation.
This device has an internal addressing boundary
limit ation that is d ivided into tw o segments o f 512K bits.
Block select bit ‘B0’ is used to control access to each
segment.
FIGURE 5-1: CONTROL BYTE
FORMAT
5.1 Contiguous Addressing Across
Multi ple Devices
The Chip Select b its A2 and A1 can be used to exp and
the contiguous address space for up to 4 Mbit by add-
ing up to four 24XX1026’s on the same bus. In this
case, software can use A1 of the control byte as
address bit A16 and A2 as address bit A17. It is not
possible to sequentially read across device boundar-
ies.
Each device has internal addressing boundary
limitation s. This d ivi de s each p a r t in to t w o s egm en t s of
512K bits. The block select bit ‘B0’ controls access to
each “half”.
Sequential read operations are limited to 512K blocks.
To read through four devices on the same bus, eight
random Read commands must be given.

6.0 WRITE OPERATIONS
6.1 Byte Write
Following the Start condition from the master, the
control code (four bits), the Chip Select (two bits), the
block select (one bit), and the R/W bit (which is a logic
low) are clocked onto the bus by the mast er transmitter .
This i n di ca tes t o th e ad d res se d s l av e re ce i ve r t ha t t he
address high byte will follow after it has generated an
Acknowledge bit during the ninth clock cycle.
Therefore, the next byte transmitted by the master is
the high-order byte of the word address and will be
written into the Address Pointer of the 24XX1026. The
next byte is the Least Significant Address Byte. After
receiving another Acknowledge signal from the
24XX1026, the master device will transmit the data
word to be wr itten into the addressed mem ory locatio n.
The 24XX1026 acknowledges again and the master
generates a Stop condition. This initiates the internal
write cycle and during this time, the 24XX1026 will not
generate Acknowledge signals as long as the control
byte being polled matches the control byte that was
used to initiate the write (Figure 6-1). If an attempt is
made to write to the array with the WP pin held high, the
device will acknowledge the command, but no write
cycle will occur, no data will be written and the device
will immediately accept a new command. After a byte
Write command, the internal address counter will point
to the address location following the one that was just
written.
6.2 Page Write
The write control byte, word address and the first data
byte are transmitted to the 24XX1026 in the same way
as in a byte write. But instead of generating a Stop
condition, the master transmits up to 127 additional
bytes, w hich are temporari ly stored in the on- chip pag e
buffer and will be written into memory after the master
has transmitted a Stop condition. After receipt of each
word, the seven lower Address Pointer bits are
internally incremented by one. If the master should
transmit more than 128 bytes prior to generating the
Stop condition, the address counter will roll over and
the previ ously received data will be overwritten . As with
the byte write operation, once the Stop condition is
received, an internal write cycle will begin (Figure 6-2).
If an attempt is made to write to the array with the WP
pin held high, the device will acknowledge the
command, but no write cycle will occur, no data will be
written and the device will immediately accept a new
command.
6.3 Write Protection
The W P pin a llows th e user t o writ e-prote ct the entire
array (0000 0-1FFFF) when th e pin is tie d to VCC. If tied
to VSS the write protection is disabled. The WP pin is
sampled at the Stop bit for every Write command
(Figure 1-1). Toggling the WP pin after the Stop bit will
have no effect on the execution of the write cycle.
Note: When doing a write o f less t han 128 bytes
the data in the rest of the page is
refreshed along with the data bytes being
written. This will force the entire page to
endure a write cycle, for this reason
endurance is specified per page.
Note: Page write operations are limited to writ-
ing bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes actually
being written. Physical page boundaries
start at addresses that are integer
multiples of the page buffer size (or ‘page
size’) and end at addresses that are
integer multiples of [page size – 1]. If a
Page Write command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to the
beginni ng o f th e cu rren t p a ge (o ve rw riti ng
data previously stored there), instead of
being w ritten to th e next p age as migh t be
expecte d. It is the refo re nec es sa ry for the
application so ftwa re to p reve nt page write
operations that would attempt to cross a
page boundary.

7.0 ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
Since the device will not acknowledge during a write
cycle, this can be used to determine when the cycle is
complete. (This feature can be used to maximize bus
throughput.) Once the Stop condition for a Write
comma nd has been is sued from the master , the device
initiates the internally timed write cycle. ACK polling
can be initiated immediately. This involves the master
sending a Start condition, followed by the control byte
for a Write command (R/W = 0). If the device is still
busy with the write cycle, then no ACK will be returned.
If no AC K is retu rned, then the S t art b it and cont rol byte
must be resent. I f the cyc le is compl ete, then th e device
will return the ACK and the master can then proceed
with the next Read or Write command. See Figure 7-1
for flow diagram.
FIGURE 7-1: ACKNOWLEDGE
POLLING FLOW
Note: Care must be taken when polling the
24XX1026. The control byte that was
used to initiate the write needs to match
the control byte used for polling.

8.0 READ OPERATION
Read operations are initiated in the same way as write
operations with the exception that the R/W bit of the
control byte is set to one. There are three basic types
of read operat ions: current add ress read , rand om rea d
and sequential read.
8.1 Current Address Read
The 24XX1026 contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word accessed,
internally incremented by one. Therefore, if the
previous read access was to address n (n is any legal
address), the next current address read operation
would access data from address n + 1.
Upon re ceipt of th e control b yte with R/ W bit set to on e,
the 24XX1026 issues an acknowledge and transmits
the 8-bit data word. The master will not acknowledge
the transfer , but do es generate a S top condition and the
24XX1026 dis co nti nue s trans m is sio n (Figure 8-1).
FIGURE 8-1: CURRENT ADDRESS
READ
8.2 Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access
any memory location in a random manner. To perform
this typ e of re ad o peration, fi rst the w o rd ad dres s m us t
be set. This is done b y sending the word address to the
24XX1026 as part of a write operation (R/W bit set to
0). After the word address is sent, the master
generates a Start condit ion fo llo w ing the ac kn ow le dg e.
This terminates the write operation, but not before the
internal Address Pointer is set. Then, the master issues
the control byte again, but wit h the R/W bit set to a one.
The 24XX1026 will then issue an acknowledge and
transmit the 8-bit data word. The master will not
acknowledge the transfer, but does generate a Stop
condition which causes the 24XX1026 to discontinue
transmission (Figure 8-2). After a random Read
command, the interna l address counte r wil l point to the
address location following the one that was just read.
8.3 Sequentia l Read
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read except that after the 24XX1026 transmits
the first data byte, the master issues an acknowledge
as opposed to the Stop condition used in a random
read. This acknowledge directs the 24XX1026 to
transmit the next sequentially addressed 8-bit word
(Figure 8-3). Following the final byte transmitted to the
master, the m aster w ill NOT generate an ackn owledg e,
but will generate a Stop condition. To provide
sequential reads, the 24XX1026 contains an internal
Address Pointer which is incremented by one at the
completion of each operation. This Address Pointer
allows half the memory contents to be serially read
during one operation. Sequential read address
boundaries are 0000h to FFFFh and 10000h to
1FFFFh. The internal Address Pointer will
automatically roll over from address FFFF to address
0000 if the master acknowledges the byte received
from the array address, 1FFFF. The internal address
counter will automatically roll over from address
1FFFFh to address 10000h if the m aster acknowledges
the byte received from the array address, 1FFFFh.
