Serial Data (SDA): The SDA pin is bi-directional 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/Page Addresses (A2, A1, A0): The A2, A1 and A0 pins are device address inputs that are hardwired or left not connected for hardware compatibility with other ACE24CXX/ACE24CXX devices. When the pins are hardwired, as many as eight 32K/64K devices may be addressed on a single bus system (device addressing is discussed in detail under the Device Addressing section).If the pins are left floating, the A2, A1 and A0 pins will be internally pulled down to GND if the capacitive coupling to the circuit board Vcc plane is < 3pF, if coupling is > 3pF recommends connecting the address pins to GND. Write Protect (WP): The ACE24C32/64 has a Write Provides hardware data protection. The WP pin allows normal write operations when connected to ground (GND). When the Write Protect pin is connected to Vcc. All write operations to the memory are inhibited.

Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (refer to Figure 4). Data changes during SCL high periods will indicate a start or stop condition as defined below. Start Condition: A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition which must precede any other command (refer to Figure 5). Stop Condition: A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition. After a read sequence, the stop command will place the EEPROM in a standby power mode (refer to Figure 5). 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. Standby Mode : The ACE24C32/64 features a low-power standby mode which is enabled: (a) upon power-up and (b) after the receipt of the stop bit and the completion of any internal operations. Memory Reset : After an interruption in protocol power loss or system reset, any two-wire part can be protocol reset by following these steps: 1. Clock up to 9 cycles. 2. Look for SDA high in each cycle while SCL is high and then. 3. Create a start condition as SDA is high.

Figure 4．Data Validity Figure 5．Start and Stop Definition VER 1.7 8 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM Figure 6．Output Acknowledge Device Addressing The 32K, 64K EEPROM devices all require an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to enable the chip for a read or write operation (refer to Figure 7). 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 the EEPROM devices. The 32/64K EEPROM use the three device address bits A2, A1, A0 to allow as many as eight devices on the same bus. These bits must compare to their corresponding hard-wired input pins. The A2,A1 and A0 pins use an internal proprietary circuit that biases them to a logic low condition if t he pins are allowed to float. The Module package device address word also consists of a mandatory one, zero sequence for the first four most significant bits. The nest 3 bits are all zero. The eight 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 a standby state. Noise protection: Special internal circuitry place on the SDA and SCL pins prevent small noise spikes from activating the device. Date Security: The ACE24C32/64 has a hardware data protection scheme that allows the user to write protect the entire memory when the WP pin is at Vcc. Write Operations Byte Write: A write operation requires two 8-bit data word address 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 (refer to Figure 8). VER 1.7 9 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM Page Write: The 32K/64K EEPROM is capable of an 32-byte page writes. A page write is initiated the same 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 (refer to Figure 9). 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. 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. 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 and 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 chip 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 (refer to Figure 10). 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 (refer to Figure 11). VER 1.7 10 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM 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 (64K) 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 (refer to Figure 12). 1 0 1 0 A2 A1 A0 MSB R/W LSB Figure 7．Device Address Figure 8．Byte Write Figure 9．Page Write VER 1.7 11 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM Figure 10．Current Address Read Figure 11． Random Read Figure 12． Sequential Read VER 1.7 12 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM Packaging information DIP-8 VER 1.7 13 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM Packaging information SOP-8 VER 1.7 14 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM Packaging information TSSOP-8 VER 1.7 15 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM Packaging information TDFN-8 VER 1.7 16 ACE24C32/64 Two-wire Serial EEPROM Notes ACE does not assume any responsibility for use as critical components in life support devices or systems without the express written approval of the president and general counsel of ACE Electronics Co., LTD.
