Pin Description Serial Clock (SCL): The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into each EEPROM device and negative edge clock data out of each device. Serial Data (SDA): The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. This pin is open-drain driven and may be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or open collector devices. Device Address (A2, A1, and A0): The A2, A1, and A0 pins are device address inputs that are hardwired or left not connected for hardware compatibility with other AT24Cxx devices. When the pins are hardwired, as many as eight 64K devices may be addressed on a single bus system (see Section 7., “Device Addressing”). If the pins are left floating, the A2, A1, and A0 pins will internally be pulled down to Ground (GND) if the capacitive coupling to the circuit board VCC plane is less than 3pF. If coupling is greater than 3pF, Atmel recommends connecting the address pins to GND. Write Protect (WP): The Write Protect input, when connected to GND, allows normal write operations. When WP is connected high to VCC, all write operations to upper quadrant of the memory are inhibited. If the pin is left floating, the WP pin will be internally pulled down to GND if the capacitive coupling to the circuit board VCC plane is less than 3pF. If coupling is greater than 3pF, Atmel recommends connecting the pin to GND. Switching WP to VCC prior to a write operation creates a software write protect function.

Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (see to Data Validity timing diagram). Data changes during SCL high periods will indicate a Start or Stop condition as defined below. Figure 6-1. Data Validity SDA SCL Data Stable Data Stable Data Change Start Condition: A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a Start condition which must precede any other command. Stop Condition: A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a Stop condition. After a read sequence, the Stop condition will place the EEPROM in a standby power mode. Figure 6-2. Start and Stop Definition SDA SCL Start 6 AT24C64B Automotive [DATASHEET] Atmel-8778B-SEEPROM-AT24C64B-Auto-Datasheet_082014 Stop Acknowledge: All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a zero during the ninth clock cycle to acknowledge that it has received each word. Figure 6-3. Output Acknowledge 1 SCL 8 9 Data In Data Out Acknowledge Start Standby Mode: The AT24C64B features a low power standby mode which is enabled: Upon power-up. After the receipt of the Stop condition and the completion of any internal operations. Memory Reset: After an interruption in protocol, power loss or system reset, any 2-wire part can be reset by following these steps: Clock up to nine cycles, Look for SDA high in each cycle while SCL is high, and Create a Start condition as SDA is high. The device is ready for the next communication after above steps have been completed. Figure 6-4.

AT24C64B Automotive [DATASHEET] Atmel-8778B-SEEPROM-AT24C64B-Auto-Datasheet_082014 7. Device Addressing The 64K EEPROM requires an 8-bit device address word following a Start condition to enable the device for a Read or Write operation. The device address word consists of a mandatory one, zero sequence for the first four most significant bits as shown. This is common to all 2-wire EEPROM devices. The 64K uses the three device address bits A2, A1, and A0 to allow as many as eight devices on the same bus. These bits must compare to their corresponding hardwired input pins. The A2, A1, and A0 pins use an internal proprietary circuit that biases them to a logic low condition if the pins are allowed to float. The eighth bit of the device address is the Read/Write operation select bit. A Read operation is initiated if this bit is high, and a Write operation is initiated if this bit is low. Upon a compare of the device address, the EEPROM will output a zero. If a compare is not made, the device will return to standby state. Noise Protection: Special internal circuitry placed on the SDA and SCL pins prevent small noise spikes from activating the device. Data Security: The AT24C64B has a hardware data protection scheme that allows the user to write protect the upper quadrant of memory when the WP pin is at VCC. Figure 7-1. 64K 1 MSB Device Address 0 1 0 A2 A1 A0 R/W LSB AT24C64B Automotive [DATASHEET] Atmel-8778B-SEEPROM-AT24C64B-Auto-Datasheet_082014 9 8. Write Operations Byte Write: A Write operation requires two 8-bit data word addresses following the device address word and acknowledgment. Upon receipt of this address, the EEPROM will again respond with a zero and then clock in the first 8-bit data word. Following receipt of the 8-bit data word, the EEPROM will output a zero and the addressing device, such as a microcontroller, must terminate the write sequence with a Stop condition. At this time the EEPROM enters an internally-timed write cycle, tWR, to the nonvolatile memory. All inputs are disabled during this write cycle and the EEPROM will not respond until the write is complete. Figure 8-1. Byte Write S T A R T W R I T E Device Address First Word Address Second Word Address S T O P Data SDA LINE M S B Note: 1. L R A S / C BW K A C K A C K L A S C B K * = Don’t care bit. Page Write: The 64K EEPROM is capable of 32-byte Page Writes. A Page Write is initiated the same way as a byte write, but the microcontroller does not send a Stop condition after the first data word is clocked in. Instead, after the EEPROM acknowledges receipt of the first data word, the microcontroller can transmit up to 31 more data words. The EEPROM will respond with a zero after each data word received. The microcontroller must terminate the Page Write sequence with a Stop condition. The data word address lower five bits are internally incremented following the receipt of each data word. The higher data word address bits are not incremented, retaining the memory page row location. When the word address, internally generated, reaches the page boundary, the following byte is placed at the beginning of the same page. If more than 32 data words are transmitted to the EEPROM, the data word address will roll-over and previous data will be overwritten. Figure 8-2.

L R A S / C BWK A C K A C K A C K A C K * = Don’t care bit. Acknowledge Polling: Once the internally-timed write cycle has started and the EEPROM inputs are disabled, Acknowledge Polling can be initiated. This involves sending a Start condition followed by the device address word. The Read/Write bit is representative of the operation desired. Only if the internal write cycle has completed will the EEPROM respond with a zero, allowing the read or write sequence to continue. 10 AT24C64B Automotive [DATASHEET] Atmel-8778B-SEEPROM-AT24C64B-Auto-Datasheet_082014 9. Read Operations Read operations are initiated the same way as write operations with the exception that the Read/write select bit in the device address word is set to one. There are three read operations: Current Address Read Random Address Read Sequential Read Current Address Read: The internal data word address counter maintains the last address accessed during the last Read or Write operation, incremented by one. This address stays valid between operations as long as the device power is maintained. The address roll-over during read is from the last byte of the last memory page, to the first byte of the first page. The address roll-over during write is from the last byte of the current page to the first byte of the same page. Once the device address with the Read/write select bit set to one is clocked in and acknowledged by the EEPROM, the current address data word is serially clocked out. The microcontroller does not respond with an input zero but does generate a following Stop condition. Figure 9-1. Current Address Read S T A R T Device Address R E A D S T O P Data SDA Line M S B N O L R A S / C B WK A C K Random Read: A Random Read requires a dummy byte write sequence to load in the data word address. Once the device address word and data word address are clocked in and acknowledged by the EEPROM, the microcontroller must generate another Start condition. The microcontroller now initiates a Current Address Read by sending a device address with the Read/Write select bit high. The EEPROM acknowledges the device address and serially clocks out the data word. The microcontroller does not respond with a zero but does generate a following Stop condition. Figure 9-2.

AT24C64B Automotive [DATASHEET] Atmel-8778B-SEEPROM-AT24C64B-Auto-Datasheet_082014 11 Sequential Read: Sequential Reads are initiated by either a Current Address Read or a Random Address Read. After the microcontroller receives a data word, it responds with an acknowledge. As long as the EEPROM receives an acknowledge, it will continue to increment the data word address and serially clock out sequential data words. When the memory address limit is reached, the data word address will roll-over and the Sequential Read will continue. The Sequential Read operation is terminated when the microcontroller does not respond with a zero but does generate a following Stop condition. Figure 9-3.

N O A C K Power Recommendation The device internal POR (Power-On Reset) threshold is just below the minimum operating voltage of the device. Power shall rise monotonically from 0.0Vdc to full VCC in less than 1ms. Hold at full VCC for at least 100μs before the first operation. Power shall drop from full VCC to 0.0Vdc in less than 1ms. Power dropping to a non-zero level and then slowly going to zero is not recommended. Power shall remain off (0.0Vdc) for 0.5s minimum. Please consult Atmel if your power conditions do not meet the above recommendations. 12 AT24C64B Automotive [DATASHEET] Atmel-8778B-SEEPROM-AT24C64B-Auto-Datasheet_082014 11.
