2.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 2-1.
TABLE 2-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
2.1 A0, A1, A2 Chip Address Inputs
The A0, A1, A2 inputs are used by the 24XX256 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 compare is true.
Up to eigh t devi ces ma y be conn ected to th e sam e bu s
by using different chip select bit combinations. If left
unconnected, these inputs will be pulled down inter-
nal l y to VSS.
2.2 Serial Data (SDA)
This is a bi-directional 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 100 kHz, 2 Kfor
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 indicating the START and STOP condi-
tions.
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 can be connected to either VSS, VCC or left
floating. An internal pull-down resistor on this pin will
keep the device in the unprotected state if left floating.
If tied to VSS or le ft fl oat ing , no rmal mem ory ope rati on
is enabled (read/write the entire memory 0000-7FFF).
If tied to VCC, WRITE operations are inhibited. Read
operations are not affected.
3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24XX256 supports a bi-directional 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 con-
trolled by a master device which generates the serial
clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates
the START and STOP conditions while the 24XX256
works as a slave. Both master and slave can operate
as a transmitter or receiver, but the master device
determines which mode is activated.

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 whe never th e cloc k line i s HIGH . Chang es
in th e dat a line w hi le the cl oc k line i s H IGH w ill be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Fi gure 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 condi-
tion.
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
durat ion of the HIGH peri od of the clo ck sign al.
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 term ina ted w ith a ST O P c ond iti on. The n um ber 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 st able LOW duri ng the HIGH p eriod
of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course,
setup and hold times must be taken into account. Dur-
ing 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 (24X X256) will leave the dat a line H IGH
to enable the master to generate the STOP condition.

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
24XX 256 t hi s i s se t as 1010 binary for read and write
operations. The next three bits of the control byte are
the chip select bits (A2, A1, A0). The chip select bits
allow the use of up to eight 24XX256 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 logic lev els on the corresp onding A2,
A1 and A0 pins for the device to respond. These bits
are in effect the three most significant bits 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). Because
only A14A0 are used, the upper address bits is a
dont c are . Th e u pp er a ddre ss b it s a re t rans ferred firs t,
followed by the less significant bits.
Following the start co ndition, the 24XX256 monitors the
SDA bus checking the device type identifier being
transmitted. Upon receiving a 1010 code and appro-
priate device select bits, the slave device outputs an
acknowl edge signal on th e SDA line. Dependi ng on the
state of the R/W bit, the 24XX256 will select a read or
write operation.
FIGURE 5-1: CONTROL BYTE FORMAT
5.1 Contiguous Addressing Across
Multiple Devices
The chip select bits A2, A1, A0 can be used to expand
the contiguous address space for up to 2 Mbit by add-
ing up to eight 24XX256's on the same bus. In this
case, software can use A0 of the control byte as
address bit A15; A1, as address bit A16; and A2, as
address bit A17. It is not possible to sequentially read
across device boundaries.

6.0 WRITE OPERATIONS
6.1 Byte Write
Following the start condition from the master, the
control code (four bits), t he c hi p s ele ct (thre e bits ), an d
the R/W bit (wh ich is a logi c lo w) a re clocke d on to the
bus by the master transmitter. This indicates to the
addressed slave receiver that the addre ss high byte will
follow after it has generate d an acknow ledge 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 24XX256. The next byte is the least sig-
nificant address byte. After receiving another acknowl-
edge signal from the 24XX256, the master device will
transmit the dat a word to be writt en in to th e ad dres se d
memory location. The 24XX256 acknowledges again
and the master generates a stop condition. This ini-
tiates the internal write cycle, and, during this time, the
24XX256 will not generate acknowledge signals
(Figure 6-1). If an attempt is made to write to the array
with the WP pin he ld high, the device wil l acknowl edg e
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 inter-
nal address counter will point to the address location
following the one that was just written.
6.2 Page Write
The writ e co ntro l by te, w ord add res s, and th e firs t da ta
byte are transmitted to the 24XX256 in the same way
as in a byte write. But instea d of generatin g a stop con-
dition, the master transmits up to 63 additional bytes,
which are te mp orari ly stored in the on-chip p age buffer
and will be written into memory after the master has
transmitted a stop condi tion. After rec eipt of each wo rd,
the six lower address pointer bits are internally
increm ented by o ne. If the master s hould trans mit more
than 64 byt es prior to generati ng the stop cond ition, the
address counter will roll over and the previously
receive d dat a will be overwri tten. As w ith the byte w rite
operatio n, once the stop con dit ion i s receiv ed, a n int er-
nal 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 (00 00-7FFF) when the pin i s tied to VCC. I f tied to
VSS or left floating, 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.
FIGURE 6-1: BYTE WRITE
FIGURE 6-2: PAGE WRITE
Note: Page write operations are limited to
writing 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 com-
mand atte mp ts to wr ite a cro ss a phy si -
cal page boundary , the result is that the
data wraps around to the beginning of
the current page (overwriting data pre-
viously 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 com-
mand has been issued from the master, the device ini-
tiates 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 devi ce is stil l busy
with th e wri te c yc le , th en n o ACK will be returned. If n o
ACK is returned, then the start bit and control byt e 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.

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 b yte is set to 1. Th ere a re thre e ba si c ty pes of
read operations: current address read, random read
and sequential read.
8.1 Current Address Read
The 24XX256 contains an address counter that main-
tains the address of the last word accessed, internally
incremented by 1. Therefore, if the previous read
access was to address n (n is any legal address), the
next curren t address read operati on would access dat a
from address n + 1.
Upon receipt of the control byte with R/W bit set to 1,
the 24XX2 56 issu es an ac knowle dge and transmit s the
8-bit data word. The master will not acknowledge the
transfer but does generate a stop condition and the
24XX256 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 typ e of re ad o peration, fi rst t he wo rd ad dres s m us t
be set. This is done b y sending the word address to the
24XX256 as part of a write operation (R/W bit set to
0). After the word address is sent, the master gener-
ates a start condition following the acknowledge. This
terminat es the w ri te o pera tio n, but not be fore the int er-
nal address pointer is set. Then, the master issues the
control b yte again but with the R/W bit set to a on e. The
24XX256 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 24XX256 to discontinue transmission
(Figure 8-2). After a random read command, the inter-
nal 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 ran-
dom read except that after the 24XX256 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 24XX256 to transmit the
next sequentially addressed 8-bit word (Figure 8-3).
Following the final byte transmitted to the master, the
master w ill NOT gen erate an ackn owledge but w ill gen-
erate a st op condition. To provide seque ntial rea ds, the
24XX256 contains an internal address pointer which is
incremented by one at the completion of each opera-
tion. This address pointer allows the entire memory
contents to be serially read during one operation. The
internal address pointer will autom atically roll ov er from
address 7FFF to address 0000 if the master acknowl-
edges the byte received from the array address 7FFF.
