Serial Data (SDA) SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses, data or control information into the device or to transfer data out of the device. The output is open drain, performing a wired AND function with any number of other open drain or open collector devices. The SDA bus requires a pull-up resistor to VCC. Chip Select (CS0, CS1, CS2) The CS0, CS1 and CS2 pins are chip select inputs either hard wired or actively driven to VCC or VSS. These inputs allow the selection of one of eight possible devices sharing a common bus. Write Protection (WP) WP switched to VSS allows normal read/write operations. WP switched to VCC protects the entire EEPROM against changes (hardware write protection). Semiconductor Group 5 1998-07-27 SLx 24C164 2 Description The SLx 24C164 device is a serial electrically erasable and programmable read only memory (EEPROM), organized as 2048 × 8 bit. The data memory is divided into 128 pages. The 16 bytes of a page can be programmed simultaneously. The device conforms to the specification of the 2-wire serial I2C-Bus. Three chip select pins allow the addressing of 8 devices on the I2C-Bus. Low voltage design permits operation down to 2.7 V with low active and standby currents. All devices have a minimum endurance of 106 erase/write cycles. The device operates at 5.0 V ± 10% with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz and at 2.7 ... 4.5 V with a maximum clock frequency of 100 kHz. The device is available as 5 V type (VCC = 4.5 … 5.5 V) with two temperature ranges for industrial and automotive applications and as 3 V type (VCC = 2.7 … 5.5 V) for industrial applications. The EEPROMs are mounted in eight-pin DIP and DSO packages or are also supplied as chips. V SS V CC CS0 CS1 CS2 WP Chip Address Control Logic Programming Control H.V.

Semiconductor Group 7 1998-07-27 SLx 24C164 The conventions for the serial clock line and the bidirectional data line are shown in figure 4. SCL 1 2 8 9 SDA START Condition ACK Data allowed to Change Acknowledge 1 9 ACK STOP Condition IED02128 Figure 4 I2C-Bus Timing Conventions for START Condition, STOP Condition, Data Validation and Transfer of Acknowledge ACK Standby Mode in which the bus is not busy (no serial transmission, no programming): both clock (SCL) and data line (SDA) are in high state. The device enters the standby mode after a STOP condition or after a programming cycle. START Condition High to low transition of SDA when SCL is high, preceding all commands. STOP Condition Low to high transition of SDA when SCL is high, terminating all communications. A STOP condition initiates an EEPROM programming cycle. A STOP condition after reading a data byte from the EEPROM initiates the Standby mode. Acknowledge A successful reception of eight data bits is indicated by the receiver by pulling down the SDA line during the following clock cycle of SCL (ACK). The transmitter on the other hand has to release the SDA line after the transmission of eight data bits. The EEPROM as the receiving device responds with an acknowledge, when addressed. The master, on the other side, acknowledges each data byte transmitted by the EEPROM and can at any time end a read operation by releasing the SDA line (no ACK) followed by a STOP condition. Data Transfer Data must change only during low SCL state, data remains valid on the SDA bus during high SCL state. Nine clock pulses are required to transfer one data byte, the most significant bit (MSB) is transmitted first. Semiconductor Group 8 1998-07-27 SLx 24C164 4 Device Addressing and EEPROM Addressing After a START condition, the master always transmits a Command Byte CSW or CSR. After the acknowledge of the EEPROM a Control Byte follows, its content and the transmitter depend on the previous Command Byte. The description of the Command and Control Bytes is shown in table 2. Command Byte Selects one of the 8 addressable devices: the chip select bits c2, c1 and c0 (bit positions b6 to b4) are compared to their corresponding hard wired input pins CS2, CS1 and CS0, respectively (c1 is the complement of CS1 pin). Selects operation: the least significant bit b0 is low for a write operation (Chip Select Write Command Byte CSW) or set high for a read operation (Chip Select Read Command Byte CSR). Contains address information: in the CSW Command Byte, the bit positions b3 to b1 are decoded for the three uppermost EEPROM address bits A10, A9, A8 (in the CSR Command Byte, the bit positions b3 to b1 are left undefined). Control Byte Following CSW (b0 = 0): contains the eight lower bits of the EEPROM address (EEA) bit A7 to A0. Following CSR (b0 = 1): contains the data read out, transmitted by the EEPROM. The EEPROM data are read as long as the master pulls down SDA after each byte in order to acknowledge the transfer. The read operation is stopped by the master by releasing SDA (no acknowledge is applied) followed by a STOP condition.

The address counter is incremented – after a data byte to be written has been acknowledged, during entry of further data byte – during a byte read, thus the address counter points to the following address after reading a data byte. Semiconductor Group 9 1998-07-27 SLx 24C164 The timing conventions for read and write operations are described in figures 5 and 6.

Depending on the state of the Write Protection pin WP either one byte (Byte Write) or up to 16 byte (Page Write) are modified in one programming procedure. 5.1 Byte Write Address Setting After a START condition the master transmits the Chip Select Write byte CSW. The EEPROM acknowledges the CSW byte during the ninth clock cycle. The following byte with the EEPROM address (A0 to A7) is loaded into the address counter of the EEPROM and acknowledged by the EEPROM. Transmission of Data Finally the master transmits the data byte which is also acknowledged by the EEPROM into the internal buffer. Programming Cycle Then the master applies a STOP condition which starts the internal programming procedure. The data bytes are written in the memory location addressed in the EEA byte (A0 to A7) and the CSW byte (A8 to A10). The programming procedure consists of an internally timed erase/write cycle. In the first step, the selected byte is erased to “1”. With the next internal step, the addressed byte is written according to the contents of the buffer.

Acknowledge polling may be used for speed enhancement in order to indicate the end of the erase/write cycle (refer to chapter 5.3 Acknowledge Polling). Semiconductor Group 11 1998-07-27 SLx 24C164 5.2 Page Write Address Setting The page write procedure is the same as the byte write procedure up to the first data byte. In a page write instruction however, entry of the EEPROM address byte EEA is followed by a sequence of one to maximum sixteen data bytes with the new data to be programmed. These bytes are transferred to the internal page buffer of the EEPROM. Transmission of Data The first entered data byte will be stored according to the EEPROM address n given by EEA (A0 to A7) and CSW (A8 to A10). The internal address counter is incremented automatically after the entered data byte has been acknowledged. The next data byte is then stored at the next higher EEPROM address. EEPROM addresses within the same page have common page address bits A4 through A10. Only the respective four least significant address bits A0 through A3 are incremented, as all data bytes to be programmed simultaneously have to be within the same page. Programming Cycle The master stops data entry by applying a STOP condition, which also starts the internally timed erase/write cycle. In the first step, all selected bytes are erased to “1”. With the next internal step, the addressed bytes are written according to the contents of the page buffer. Those bytes of the page that have not been addressed are not included in the programming.

Semiconductor Group 12 1998-07-27 SLx 24C164 5.3 Acknowledge Polling During the erase/write cycle the EEPROM will not respond to a new command byte until the internal write procedure is completed. At the end of active programming the chip returns to the standby mode and the last entered EEPROM byte remains addressed by the address counter. To determine the end of the internal erase/write cycle acknowledge polling can be initiated by the master by sending a START condition followed by a command byte CSR or CSW (read with b0 = 1 or write with b0 = 0). If the internal erase/ write cycle is not completed, the device will not acknowledge the transmission. If the internal erase/write cycle is completed, the device acknowledges the received command byte and the protocol activities can continue.

Address Setting The master generates a START condition followed by the command byte CSW. The receipt of the CSW-byte is acknowledged by the EEPROM with a low on the SDA line. Now the master transmits the EEPROM address (EEA) to the EEPROM and the internal address counter is loaded with the desired address. Transmission of CSR After the acknowledge for the EEPROM address is received, the master generates a START condition, which terminates the initiated write operation. Then the master transmits the command byte CSR for read, which is acknowledged by the EEPROM. Transmission of EEPROM Data During the next eight clock pulses the EEPROM transmits the data byte and increments the internal address counter. STOP Condition from Master During the following clock cycle the masters releases the bus and then transmits the STOP condition.

Transmission of CSR For a current address read the master generates a START condition, which is followed by the command byte CSR (chip select read). The receipt of the CSR-byte is acknowledged by the EEPROM with a low on the SDA line. Transmission of EEPROM Data During the next eight clock pulses the EEPROM transmits the data byte and increments the internal address counter.

The EEPROM then continues the data transmission. The internal address counter is incremented by one during each data byte transmission. A sequential read allows the entire memory to be read during one read operation. After the highest addressable memory location is reached, the internal address pointer “rolls over” to the address 0 and the sequential read continues. The transmission is terminated by the master by releasing the SDA line (no acknowledge) and generating a STOP condition (see figure 13).
