M24C16-DFCU
Description
The M24C16-DFCU is a 16-Kbit I2C-compatible EEPROM assembled in a four balls ultra
thin chip scale package (WLCSP).
The device is accessed by a simple serial I2C compatible interface running up to 1 MHz.
The M24C16-DFCU memory array is based on advanced true EEPROM technology
(Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory), organized as 128 pages of 16 bytes, with a
data integrity improved with an embedded Error Correction Code logic.
The M24C16-DFCU offers an additional Identification Page (16 bytes) in which the ST
device identification can be read. This page can also be used to store sensitive application
parameters which can be later permanently locked in read-only mode.

Signal description
2.1
Serial Clock (SCL)
SCL is an input. The signal applied on the SCL input is used to strobe the data available on
SDA(in) and to output the data on SDA(out).
2.2
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is an input/output used to transfer data in or data out of the device. SDA(out) is an
open drain output that may be wire-OR’ed with other open drain or open collector signals on
the bus. A pull-up resistor must be connected from Serial Data (SDA) to VCC (Figure 9
indicates how to calculate the value of the pull-up resistor).
2.3
VSS (ground)
VSS is the reference for the VCC supply voltage.
2.4
Supply voltage (VCC)
2.4.1
Operating supply voltage (VCC)
Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable VCC voltage
within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range must be applied (see Operating conditions
in Section 9: DC and AC parameters). In order to secure a stable DC supply voltage, it is
recommended to decouple the VCC line with a suitable capacitor (usually from10 nF to
100 nF) close to the VCC/VSS package pins.
This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction
and, for a write instruction, until the completion of the internal write cycle (tW).
2.4.2
Power-up conditions
The VCC voltage has to rise continuously from 0 V up to the minimum VCC operating voltage
(see Operating conditions in Section 9: DC and AC parameters) and the rise time must not
vary faster than 1 V/µs.
2.4.3
Device reset
In order to prevent inadvertent write operations during power-up, a power-on-reset (POR)
circuit is included.
At power-up, the device does not respond to any instruction until VCC has reached the
internal reset threshold voltage. This threshold is lower than the minimum VCC operating
voltage (see Operating conditions in Section 9: DC and AC parameters). When VCC passes
over the POR threshold, the device is reset and enters the Standby Power mode; however,
the device must not be accessed until VCC reaches a valid and stable DC voltage within the
specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range (see Operating conditions in Section 9: DC and AC
parameters).
8/35
DocID026468 Rev 2
M24C16-DFCU
Signal description
In a similar way, during power-down (continuous decrease in VCC), the device must not be
accessed when VCC drops below VCC(min). When VCC drops below the power-on-reset
threshold voltage, the device stops responding to any instruction sent to it.
2.4.4
Power-down conditions
During power-down (continuous decrease in VCC), the device must be in the Standby Power
mode (mode reached after decoding a Stop condition, assuming that there is no internal
write cycle in progress).

Device operation
Device operation
The device supports the I2C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 4. Any device that sends
data on to the bus is defined to be a transmitter, and any device that reads the data to be a
receiver. The device that controls the data transfer is known as the bus master, and the
other as the slave device. A data transfer can only be initiated by the bus master, which will
also provide the serial clock for synchronization. The device is always a slave in all
communications.

Device operation
4.1
M24C16-DFCU
Start condition
Start is identified by a falling edge of Serial Data (SDA) while Serial Clock (SCL) is stable in
the high state. A Start condition must precede any data transfer instruction. The device
continuously monitors (except during a Write cycle) Serial Data (SDA) and Serial Clock
(SCL) for a Start condition.
4.2
Stop condition
Stop is identified by a rising edge of Serial Data (SDA) while Serial Clock (SCL) is stable and
driven high. A Stop condition terminates communication between the device and the bus
master. A Read instruction that is followed by NoAck can be followed by a Stop condition to
force the device into the Standby mode.
A Stop condition at the end of a Write instruction triggers the internal Write cycle.
4.3
Data input
During data input, the device samples Serial Data (SDA) on the rising edge of Serial Clock
(SCL). For correct device operation, Serial Data (SDA) must be stable during the rising edge
of Serial Clock (SCL), and the Serial Data (SDA) signal must change only when Serial Clock
(SCL) is driven low.
4.4
Acknowledge bit (ACK)
The acknowledge bit is used to indicate a successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter,
whether it be bus master or slave device, releases Serial Data (SDA) after sending eight bits
of data. During the 9th clock pulse period, the receiver pulls Serial Data (SDA) low to
acknowledge the receipt of the eight data bits.

Device operation
Device addressing
To start communication between the bus master and the slave device, the bus master must
initiate a Start condition. Following this, the bus master sends the device select code, shown
in Table 3 (on Serial Data (SDA), most significant bit first).

The 8th bit is the Read/Write bit (RW). This bit is set to 1 for Read and 0 for Write operations.
If a match occurs on the device select code, the corresponding device gives an
acknowledgment on Serial Data (SDA) during the 9th bit time.
If the device does not match the device select code, the device deselects itself from the bus,
and goes into Standby mode (therefore will not acknowledge the device select code).

Identification page
The M24C16-DFCU offers an Identification Page (16 bytes) in addition to the 16-Kbit
memory. The Identification page contains two fields:
Note:

Device identification code: the first three bytes are programmed by STMicroelectronics
with the Device identification code, as shown in Table 4.

Application parameters: the bytes after the Device identification code are available for
application specific data.
If the end application does not need to read the Device identification code, this field can be
overwritten and used to store application-specific data. Once the application-specific data
are written in the Identification page, the whole Identification page should be permanently
locked in Read-only mode.
The instructions Read, Write and Lock Identification Page are detailed in Section 5:

Write operations
For a Write operation, the bus master sends a Start condition followed by a device select
code with the R/W bit reset to 0. The device acknowledges this, as shown in Figure 5, and
waits for the master to send the address byte with an acknowledge bit, and then waits for
the data byte.
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after a data byte Ack bit (in
the “10th bit” time slot), either at the end of a Byte Write or a Page Write, the internal Write
cycle tW is then triggered. A Stop condition at any other time slot does not trigger the internal
Write cycle.
During the internal Write cycle, Serial Data (SDA) is disabled internally, and the device does
not respond to any requests.
After the successful completion of an internal Write cycle (tW), the device internal address
counter is automatically incremented to point to the next byte after the last modified byte.
Byte Write
After the device select code and the address bytes, the bus master sends one data byte.
The device replies with Ack, as shown in . The bus master shall terminate the transfer by
generating a Stop condition.

Page Write
The Page Write mode allows up to N(a) bytes to be written in a single Write cycle, provided
that they are all located in the same page in the memory: that is, the most significant
memory address bits, A10/A4, are the same. If more bytes are sent than will fit up to the end
of the page, a condition known as “roll-over” occurs. In case of roll-over, the first bytes of the
page are overwritten.
Note:
After each byte is transferred, the internal byte address counter is incremented. The transfer
is terminated by the bus master generating a Stop condition.
5.1.3
Write Identification Page
The Identification Page (16 bytes) is an additional page which can be written and (later)
permanently locked in Read-only mode. It is written by issuing the Write Identification Page
instruction. This instruction uses the same protocol and format as Page Write (into memory
array), except for the following differences:

Device type identifier = 1011b

Most significant address bits A10/A4 are don't care, except for address bit A7 which
must be “0”. Least significant address bits A3/A0 define the byte location inside the
Identification page.
If the Identification page is locked, the data bytes transferred during the Write Identification
Page instruction are not acknowledged (NoAck).
5.1.4
Lock Identification Page
The Lock Identification Page instruction (Lock ID) permanently locks the Identification page
in Read-only mode. The Lock ID instruction is similar to Byte Write (into memory array) with
the following specific conditions:
16/35

Device type identifier = 1011b

Address bit A7 must be ‘1’; all other address bits are don't care

The data byte must be equal to the binary value xxxx xx1x, where x is don't care

Minimizing Write delays by polling on ACK
During the internal Write cycle, the device disconnects itself from the bus, and writes a copy
of the data from its internal latches to the memory cells. The maximum Write time (tw) is
shown in AC characteristics tables in Section 9: DC and AC parameters, but the typical time
is shorter. To make use of this, a polling sequence can be used by the bus master.
The sequence, as shown in Figure 6, is:

Initial condition: a Write cycle is in progress.

Step 1: the bus master issues a Start condition followed by a device select code (the
first byte of the new instruction).

Step 2: if the device is busy with the internal Write cycle, no Ack will be returned and
the bus master goes back to Step 1. If the device has terminated the internal Write
cycle, it responds with an Ack, indicating that the device is ready to receive the second
part of the instruction (the first byte of this instruction having been sent during Step 1).

Read operations
After the successful completion of a Read operation, the device internal address counter is
incremented by one, to point to the next byte address.
For the Read instructions, after each byte read (data out), the device waits for an
acknowledgment (data in) during the 9th bit time. If the bus master does not acknowledge
during this 9th time, the device terminates the data transfer and switches to its Standby
mode.

Random Address Read
The Random Address Read is a sequence composed of a truncated Write sequence (to
define a new address pointer value, see Table 3) followed by a current Read.
Therefore the Random Address Read sequence is the sum of [Start + Device Select code
with R/W=0 + address byte] (without Stop condition, as shown in Figure 7) and [Start
condition + Device Select code with R/W=1]. The memory device acknowledges the
sequence and then outputs the contents of the addressed byte. To terminate the data

DocID026468 Rev 2
M24C16-DFCU
Instructions
transfer, the bus master does not acknowledge the last data byte and then issues a Stop
condition.
5.2.2
Current Address Read
For the Current Address Read operation, following a Start condition, the bus master only
sends a device select code with the R/W bit set to 1. The device acknowledges this, and
outputs the byte addressed by the internal address counter. The counter is then
incremented. The bus master terminates the transfer with a Stop condition, as shown in
Figure 9, without acknowledging the byte.
Note that the address counter value is defined by instructions accessing either the memory
or the Identification page. When accessing the Identification page, the address counter
value is loaded with the Identification page byte location, when accessing the memory, it is
safer to always use the Random Address Read instruction (this instruction loads the
address counter with the byte location to read in the memory) instead of the Current
Address Read instruction.
5.2.3
Sequential Read
This operation can be used after a Current Address Read or a Random Address Read. The
bus master does acknowledge the data byte output, and sends additional clock pulses so
that the device continues to output the next byte in sequence. To terminate the stream of
bytes, the bus master must not acknowledge the last byte, and must generate a Stop
condition, as shown in Figure 9.
The output data comes from consecutive addresses, with the internal address counter
automatically incremented after each byte output. After the last memory address, the
address counter “rolls-over”, and the device continues to output data from memory address
00h.
5.2.4
Read Identification Page
The Identification Page can be read by issuing a Read Identification Page instruction. This
instruction uses the same protocol and format as the Random Address Read (from memory
array) with device type identifier defined as 1011b. The most significant address bits A10/A4
are don't care except bit A7 which must be 0, the least significant address bits A3/A0 define
the byte location inside the Identification page. The number of bytes to read in the ID page
must not exceed the page boundary.
5.2.5
Read the lock status
The locked/unlocked status of the Identification page can be checked by transmitting a
specific truncated command [Identification Page Write instruction plus one data byte] to the
device. The device returns an acknowledge bit after the data byte if the Identification page is
unlocked, otherwise a NoAck bit if the Identification page is locked. After this, it is
recommended to transmit to the device a Start condition followed by a Stop condition, so
that:

Start: the truncated command is not executed because the Start condition resets the
device internal logic,

Stop: the device is then set back into Standby mode by the Stop condition.

Acknowledge in Read mode
For all Read instructions, after each byte sent out, the device waits for an acknowledgment

Acknowledge (the master drives SDA high during the 9th bit time), the device terminates the
data transfer and enters its Standby mode.

Application design recommendations
6.1
Supply voltage
6.1.1
Operating supply voltage (VCC)
Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable VCC voltage
within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range must be applied (see Table 6).
This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction
and, for a Write instruction, until the completion of the internal Write cycle (tW). In order to
secure a stable DC supply voltage, it is recommended to decouple the VCC line with a
suitable capacitor (usually of the order of 10 nF to 100 nF) close to the VCC/VSS package
pins.
6.1.2
Power-up conditions
When the power supply is turned on, the VCC voltage has to rise continuously from 0 V up
to the minimum VCC operating voltage defined in see Table 6.
In order to prevent inadvertent write operations during power-up, a power-on-reset (POR)
circuit is included.
At power-up, the device does not respond to any instruction until VCC reaches the internal
threshold voltage (this threshold is defined in the DC characteristic Table 11 as VRES).
When VCC passes over the POR threshold, the device is reset and in the following state:

in the Standby power mode

deselected
As soon as the VCC voltage has reached a stable value within the [VCC(min), VCC(max)]
range (defined in Table 6), the device is ready for operation.
6.1.3
Power-down
During power-down (continuous decrease in the VCC supply voltage below the minimum
VCC operating voltage defined in Table 6), the device must be in Standby power mode (that
is after a STOP condition or after the completion of the Write cycle tW if an internal Write
cycle is in progress).
6.2
Error correction code (ECC x 1)
The error correction code (ECC x 1) is an internal logic function which is transparent for the
I2C communication protocol.
The ECC x 1 logic is implemented on each byte of the memory array. If a single bit out of the
byte happens to be erroneous during a Read operation, the ECC x 1 detects this bit and
replaces it with the correct value. The read reliability is therefore much improved.
