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 X24C02 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.

Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL

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 X24C02 will be
considered a slave in all applications.
Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The X24C02 continuously monitors the SDA and SCL
lines for the start condition and will not respond to
any command until this condition has been met.

DEVICE ADDRESSING
Following the start condition, the X24C02 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 X24C02 outputs an
Following a start condition the master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing. The most significant
four bits of the slave are the device type identifier
(see Figure 4). For the X24C02 this is fixed as 1010[B].

Byte Write
For a write operation, the X24C02 requires a second
address field. This address field is the word address,

comprised of eight bits, providing access to any one of the
256 words of memory. Upon receipt of the word
address the X24C02 responds with an acknowledge, and
awaits the next eight bits of data, again responding
3838 FHD F09
with an acknowledge. The master then terminates the
transfer by generating a stop condition, at which time the
The next three significant bits address a particular device.
A system could have up to eight X24C02 devices on the
bus (see Figure 10). The eight addresses are defined by the
state of the A0, A1 and A2 inputs.
X24C02 begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile
memory. While the internal write cycle is in progress the
X24C02 inputs are disabled, and the device will not
respond to any requests from the master. Refer to
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 operations is selected.

The X24C02 is capable of a four byte page write operation.

READ OPERATIONS
Read operations are initiated in the same manner as
write operations with the exception that the R/W bit of the
slave address is set to a one. There are three basic read
operations: current address read, random read and

sequential read.
It should be noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read
operation is not a “don’t care.” To terminate a read
operation, the master must either issue a stop condition
during the ninth cycle or hold SDA HIGH during the ninth
clock cycle and then issue a stop condition.

LIFE RELATED POLICY
In situations where semiconductor component failure may endanger life, system designers using this product should design the system with appropriate error detection
and correction, redundancy and back-up features to prevent such an occurence.
Xicor's products are not authorized for use in critical components in life support devices or systems.
1. Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or sustain life, and whose
failure to perform, when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a significant injury to the
user.
2. A critical component is any component of a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life support
device or system, or to affect its safety or effectiveness.
