General Description
The AK6010A/12A is a 32768/65536-bit serial CMOS EEPROM divided into 4096/8192 registers of
8 bits each.
The AK6010A/12A can operate full function under wide operating voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V.
The charge up circuit is integrated for high voltage generation that is used for write operation.
The AK6010A/12A conforms to all specifications in the 2 wire protocol and is controlled by serial
clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) line.
Some devices can be connected to the same bus. Each device connected to the bus is software
addressable by a unique address, and can operate as either a transmitter or receiver. In addition
to transmitters and receivers, devices can also be considered as masters or slaves when performing
data transfers (see Table1). The master is the device which initiates a data transfers on the bus
and generates the clock signals to permit that transfer. At that time, the device addressed is
considered as the slave.

„ DATA TRANSFER
All commands are preceded by a START condition. After the START condition, a slave address is
sent. After the AK6010A/12A recognizes the START condition, the devices interfaced to the bus
wait for the slave address to be transmitted over the SDA line. If the transmitted slave address
matches an address of one of the devices, the designated slave pulls the SDA line to LOW
(ACKNOWLEDGE).
The data transfer is always terminated by a STOP condition generated by the master.
[Data validity]
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock. The HIGH or LOW
state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW.

[START and STOP condition]
A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines a START condition. All
commands are preceded by the START condition.
A LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines a STOP condition. All
communications are terminated by the STOP condition. After a read sequence, the STOP
condition will place the EEPROM in a standby power mode.

[ACKNOWLEDGE]
ACKNOWLEDGE is a software convention used to indicate successful data transfers. The
transmitting device will release the bus after transmitting eight bits. During the next clock (ninth
clock), the receiver will pull the SDA line to LOW to acknowledge that it received the eight bits of
data.
The AK6010A/12A will respond with an acknowledge after recognition of a start condition and its
slave address. If both the device and a write operation have been selected, the AK6010A/12A will
respond with an acknowledge after the receipt of each subsequent eight bit word.
In the read mode the AK6010A/12A slave will transmit eight bits of data, release the SDA line and
monitor the line for an acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no STOP condition is
generated by the master, the slave will continue to transmit data. If an acknowledge is not
detected, the slave will terminate further data transmissions and await the STOP condition to return
to the standby power mode.

[SLAVE ADDRESS]
After the START condition, a SLAVE ADDRESS is sent. If the transmitted slave address matches
an address of one of the device, the designated slave pulls the SDA line to LOW.
The most significant four bits of the slave address are fixed as "1010". The next three bits are S0,
S1 and S2 device address bits. These three bits identify the specific device on the bus. They is
set by the hard wired input pins (S0 pin, S1 pin and S2 pin). Therefore a total of eight devices can
be connected to the same bus.
The last bit of the slave address (R/W bit) defines whether a write or read condition is requested by
the master. A "1" indicates that the read operation is to be executed. A "0" indicates that the write
operation is to be executed.

Pin Descriptions
SCL (Serial Clock)
The SCL input is used to clock all data into and out of the device.
SDA (Serial Data)
The SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the device.
It is an open drain output and may be wire-ORed with any number of open drain or open
collector outputs.
S0, S1, S2 (Device Address)
The S0, S1 and S2 are device address inputs that are used to set three bits of the slave
address.
A total of eight devices can be connected to the same bus.
WC (Write Control)
If the WC is High level, WRITE operations onto the upper quarter of the memory (AK6010A:
C00 to FFF(Hex), AK6012A: 1800 to 1FFF(Hex)) will not be executed. If the WC is Low level,
the AK6010A/12A will be enabled to perform WRITE operation.
As the WC is internally pulled down to GND, the AK6010A/12A will be enabled to perform
WRITE operation if the WC is left floating.
WC must not change from the start condition input to the stop condition input.

Functional Description
„ WRITE Operations
BYTE WRITE
A write operation requires a word address following the slave address word (R/W=0) and
acknowledge. The word address is comprised of eight bits and provides access to any one of the
4096/8192 words. Upon receipt of the word address the AK6010A/12A responds with an
acknowledge, and awaits the next eight bits of data, again, responding with an acknowledge.
The master then terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition, at which time the
AK6010A/12A begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory. While the internal write
cycle is in progress the AK6010A/12A inputs are disable, and the device will not respond to any
requests from the master.

BYTE WRITE
PAGE WRITE
The AK6010A/12A is capable of a thirty-two byte page write operation.
It is initiated in the same manner as the byte write operation. But instead of terminating the write
cycle after the first data word is transferred, the master can transmit up to thirty-one more words.
After the receipt of each word, the AK6010A/12A will respond with an acknowledge. The master
then terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition, at which time the AK6010A/12A begins
the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory.
After the receipt of each word, the five lower order address pointer bits are internally incremented by
one. The higher order seven/eight bits of the word address remains constant.
AK6010A: When the highest address is reached (XXXX XXX1 1111), the address counter rolls over
to address "XXXX XXX0 0000" allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely.
AK6012A: When the highest address is reached (X XXXX XXX1 1111), the address counter rolls
over to address "X XXXX XXX0 0000" allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely.
If the master should transmit more than thirty-two words prior to generating the stop condition, the
address counter will "roll over" and the previously written data will be overwritten. When the
master transmit thirty-four words prior to the stop condition, thirty-third word will be overwritten to
first word, and thirty-fourth word will be overwritten to second word.

ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
Since the device will not acknowledge during the internal write cycle, this can be used to determine
when the cycle is complete. This feature (ACK polling) can be used to maximize bus throughput.
Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the host's write operation the AK6010A/12A
initiates the internal write cycle. ACK polling can be initiated immediately. This involves issuing
the start condition followed by the slave address for a write operation. If the AK6010A/12A is still
busy with the write operation no ACK will be returned. If the AK6010A/12A has completed the
write operation an ACK will be returned and the host can then proceed with the next read or write
operation.
When the write operation is executed after the ACK polling, the host can issue the byte address
consecutively after the ACK is returned. When the read operation is executed after the ACK
polling, the host should issue the stop condition once.

„ READ Operations
There are three basic read operations: current address read, random read, and sequential read.
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.
It is noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read operation is not a "don't care". To terminate a read
operation, the master must hold SDA HIGH during the ninth clock cycle and then issue a stop
condition.
CURRENT ADDRESS READ
Internally the AK6010A/12A contains an address counter that maintains the address of the last word
accessed, incremented by one. Therefore, if the last access (either a read or write) was to address
n, the next read operation would access data from address n+1.
Upon receipt of the slave address with R/W bit set to one, the AK6010A/12A issues an acknowledge
and transmits the eight bit word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but generate a stop
condition, and therefore the AK6010A/12A discontinues transmission.

CURRENT ADDRESS READ
RANDOM READ
Random read operations allow the master to access any memory location in a random manner.
Prior to issuing the slave address with the R/W bit set to one, the master must first perform a
"dummy" write operation.
The master issues the start condition, slave address and then the word address it is to read. After
the word address acknowledge, the master immediately reissues the start condition and the slave
address with the R/W bit set to one. This will be followed by an acknowledge from the
AK6010A/12A and then by the eight bit word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but
generate the stop condition, and therefore the AK6010A/12A discontinues transmission.

ASAHI KASEI
[AK6010A/12A]
SEQUENTIAL READ
Sequential read can be initiated as either a current read or random read. The first word is
transmitted in the same manner as the other read modes. However the master responds with an
acknowledge, indicating it requires additional data. The AK6010A/12A continues to output data for
each acknowledge received. The data output is sequential, with the data from address n followed
by the data from n+1. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but generate the stop
condition, and therefore the AK6010A/12A discontinues transmission.
AK6010A: When the highest address is reached ($FFF), the address counter rolls over to address
$000 allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely.
