2.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Tab le 2 -1 .
TABLE 2-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
2.1 A0, A1 Chip Address Inputs
The A0 and A1 inputs are used by the 24XX1025 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 using different Chip Select bit combinations. In most
applications, the chip address inputs A0 and A1 are
hard-wired to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’. For applications in
which these pins are controlled by a microcontroller or
other programmable device, the chip address pins
must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’ before normal
device operation can proceed.
2.2 A2 Chip Address Input
The A2 input is non-configurable Chip Select. This pin
must be tied to VCC in order for this device to operate.
If left floating or tied to VSS, device operation will be
undefined.
2.3 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 (typical 10 k for 100kHz, 2kfor
400 kHz and 1 MHz).
For normal data transfer SDA is allowed to change only
during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating the Start and Stop conditions.
2.4 Serial Clock (SCL)
This input is used to synchronize the data transfer from
and to the device.
2.5 Write-Protect (WP)
This pin must be connected to either 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 24XX1025 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
24XX1025 works as a slave. Both master and slave
can operate as a transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
2005-2013 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20001941L-page 7
24AA1025/24LC1025/24FC1025
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
stable whenever the clock line is high. Changes 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 Stop 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 clock signal.
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 data transfer is initiated with a Start condition and
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 SDA line is stable low during the high period of
the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course, setup
and hold times must be taken into account. During
reads, a master must signal an end of data to the slave
by NOT generating an Acknowledge bit on the last byte
that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the
slave (24XX1025) will leave the data line high to enable
the master to generate the Stop condition.
FIGURE 4-1: DATA TRANSFER SEQUENCE ON THE SERIAL BUS
FIGURE 4-2: ACKNOWLEDGE TIMING
Note: The 24XX1025 does not generate any
Acknowledge bits if an internal program-
ming cycle is in progress, however, the
control byte that is being polled must

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 control byte consists of a 4-bit control code; for the
24XX1025, this is set as ‘1010’ binary for read and
write operations. 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 next two bits of
the control byte are the Chip Select bits (A1, A0). The
Chip Select bits allow the use of up to four 24XX1025
devices on the same bus and are used to select which
device is accessed. The Chip Select bits in the control
byte must correspond to the logic levels on the
corresponding A1 and A0 pins for the device to
respond. These bits are in effect the two Most
Significant bits (MSb) of the word address.
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 24XX1025 monitors
the SDA bus checking the device type identifier being
transmitted. Upon receiving a ‘1010’ code and
appropriate device select bits, the slave device outputs
an Acknowledge signal on the SDA line. Depending on
the state of the R/W bit, the 24XX1025 will select a read
or write operation.
This device has an internal addressing boundary
limitation that is divided into two segments of 512K bits.
Block select bit ‘B0’ to control access to each segment.
FIGURE 5-1: CONTROL BYTE
FORMAT
5.1 Contiguous Addressing Across
Multiple Devices
The Chip Select bits A1 and A0 can be used to expand
the contiguous address space for up to 4 Mbit by add-
ing up to four 24XX1025’s on the same bus. In this
case, software can use A0 of the control byte as
address bit A17 and A1 as address bit A18. It is not
possible to sequentially read across device boundar-
ies.
Each device has internal addressing boundary
limitations. This divides each part into two segments 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 block select (one bit), the
Chip Select (two bits), and the R/W bit (which is a logic
low) are clocked onto the bus by the master transmitter.
This indicates to the addressed slave receiver that the
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 24XX1025. The
next byte is the Least Significant Address Byte. After
receiving another Acknowledge signal from the
24XX1025, the master device will transmit the data
word to be written into the addressed memory location.
The 24XX1025 acknowledges again and the master
generates a Stop condition. This initiates the internal
write cycle and during this time, the 24XX1025 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 24XX1025 in the same way
as in a byte write. But instead of generating a Stop
condition, the master transmits up to 127 additional
bytes, which are temporarily stored in the on-chip page
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 previously 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 WP pin allows the user to write-protect the entire
array (00000-1FFFF) when the pin is tied 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 of less than 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
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page as might be
expected. It is therefore necessary for the
application software to prevent 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
command has been issued 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 ACK is returned, then the Start bit and control byte
must be resent. If the cycle is complete, then the 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
24XX1025. 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 operations: current address read, random read
and sequential read.
8.1 Current Address Read
The 24XX1025 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 receipt of the control byte with R/W bit set to one,
the 24XX1025 issues an acknowledge and transmits
the 8-bit data word. The master will not acknowledge
the transfer, but does generate a Stop condition and the
24XX1025 discontinues transmission (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 type of read operation, first the word address must
be set. This is done by sending the word address to the
24XX1025 as part of a write operation (R/W bit set to
0). After the word address is sent, the master
generates a Start condition following the acknowledge.
This terminates the write operation, but not before the
internal Address Pointer is set. Then, the master issues
the control byte again, but with the R/W bit set to a one.
The 24XX1025 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 24XX1025 to discontinue
transmission (Figure 8-2). After a random Read
command, the internal address counter will point to the
address location following the one that was just read.
8.3 Sequential Read
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read except that after the 24XX1025 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 24XX1025 to
transmit the next sequentially addressed 8-bit word
(Figure 8-3). Following the final byte transmitted to the
master, the master will NOT generate an acknowledge,
but will generate a Stop condition. To provide
sequential reads, the 24XX1025 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 00000h to 0FFFFh and 10000h to
1FFFFh. The internal Address Pointer will
automatically roll over from address 0FFFFh to
address 00000h if the master acknowledges the byte
received from the array address, 0FFFFh. The internal
address counter will automatically roll over from
address 1FFFFh to address 10000h if the master
acknowledges the byte received from the array
address, 1FFFFh.

There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
