Description
The AT24C21 provides 1024 bits of serial electrically erasable and programmable
read only memory (EEPROM) organized as 128 words of 8 bits each. The device is
optimized for use in applications requiring data storage and serial transmission of configuration and control information. The AT24C21 features two modes of operation:
Transmit-only Mode and Bidirectional Mode. Upon power-up, the AT24C21 will be in
the Transmit-only Mode, sending a serial-bit stream of the entire memory contents,
clocked via the VCLK pin. The Bidirectional Mode is selected by a valid high-to-low
transition on the SCL pin and offers byte selectable read/write capability of the entire
memory array. The AT24C21 is available in space saving 8-lead PDIP and 8-lead
JEDEC SOIC packages.

AT24C21
0405I–SEEPR–7/03
AT24C21
Functional
Description
The AT24C21 has two modes of operation: the Transmit-only Mode and the Bidirectional Mode. There is a separate 2-wire protocol to support each mode, each having a
separate clock input (SCL and VCLK) and both modes sharing a common Bidirectional
data line (SDA). The AT24C21 enters the Transmit-only Mode upon powering up the
device. In this mode, the device transmits data on the SDA pin upon a clock signal on
the VCLK pin. The device will remain in the Transmit-only Mode until a valid high-to-low
transition takes place on the SCL pin. The device will switch into the Bidirectional Mode
when a valid transition on the SCL pin is recognized. Once the device has transitioned
to the Bidirectional Mode, there is no way to return to the Transmit-only Mode, except to
power down (reset) the device.
Transmit-only Mode
(DDC1)
The AT24C21 will power up in the Transmit-only Mode. In this mode, the device will output one bit of data on the SDA pin on each rising edge on the VCLK pin. Data is
transmitted in 8 bit words with the most significant bit first. Each word is followed by a
9th “don't care” bit which will be in high impedance state (refer to Figure 1). The
AT24C21 will continuously cycle through the entire memory array in incremental
sequence as long a VCLK is present and no falling edges on SCL are received. When
the maximum address (7FH) is reached, the output will wrap around to the zero location
(00H) and continue. The Bidirectional mode clock (SCL) pin must be held high for the
device to remain in the Transmit-only mode.
Upon power-up, the AT24C21 will not output valid data until it has been initialized. During initialization, data will not be available until after the first nine clocks are sent to the
device (refer to Figure 2). The starting address for the Transmit-only mode can be determined during initialization. If the SDA pin is held high during the first eight clocks (refer
to Figure 2), the starting address will be 7FH. If the SDA pin is low during the first eight
clocks, the starting address will be 00H. During the ninth clock, SDA should be in high
impedance.

0405I–SEEPR–7/03
AT24C21
Bidirectional Mode
(DDC2)
This mode supports a 2-wire, Bidirectional data transmission protocol. The AT24C21
can be switched into the Bidirectional Mode by issuing a valid high to low transition on
the SCL pin (refer to Figure 3). After the device is in the Bidirectional Mode, all inputs to
the VCLK pin are ignored, except when a logic high is required to enable write capability. All byte and page writes and byte and sequential reads are supported in this mode.
Bidirectional Mode
Operation
CLOCK and DATA TRANSITIONS: The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an external device. Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (refer to
Data Validity timing diagram). 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 Start and Stop Definition timing
diagram).
STOP CONDITION: A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition.
After a read or write sequence, the stop command will place the EEPROM in a standby
power mode (refer to Start and Stop Definition timing diagram).
ACKNOWLEDGE: All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the
EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a zero to acknowledge that it has
received each word. This happens during the ninth clock cycle.
Device Addressing
The AT24C21 requires an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to enable
the chip for a read or write operation (refer to Figure 4).
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 next three bits are don’t care for the AT24C21.
The eighth 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 chip will return to a standby state.
STANDBY MODE: The AT24C21 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 2wire part can be reset by following these steps:
(a) Clock up to 9 cycles, (b) look for SDA high in each cycle while SCL is high and then
(c) create a start condition as SDA is high.

Write Operations
BYTE WRITE: A write operation requires an 8-bit data word addresses 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 5).
It is required that VCLK be held at a high logic level in order to program the device. This
applies to byte write and page write operation. Note that VCLK can go low while the
device is in its self-timed program operation and not affect programming.
PAGE WRITE: The AT24C21 is capable of an 8-byte page write.
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 seven
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 6).
The data word address lower three 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 eight data words are transmitted to the EEPROM, the data word address will “roll
over” and previous data will be overwritten. The address “roll over” during write is from
the last byte of the current page to the first byte of the same page.
It is required that VCLK be held at a high logic level in order to program the device. This
applies to byte write and page write operation. Note that VCLK can go low while the
device is in its self-timed program operation and not affect programming.
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.
WRITE PROTECTION: When VCLK pin is connected to GND and in the Bidirectional
Mode, the entire memory is protected and becomes ROM only. This protects the device
memory from any inadvertent write operations.
NOISE PROTECTION: Special internal circuitry placed on the SDA and SCL pins prevent small noise spikes from activating the device. Furthermore, the AT24C21 employs
a low VCC detector circuit which disables the erase\write logic whenever VCC falls below
1.5 volts.

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.
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 7).
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 8).
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 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 9).
