Description
The AT24C128/256 provides 131,072/262,144 bits of serial electrically erasable and
programmable read only memory (EEPROM) organized as 16,384/32,768 words of 8
bits each. The device’s cascadable feature allows up to 4 devices to share a common
Two-wire bus. The device is optimized for use in many automotive applications where
low power and low voltage operation are essential. The AT24C128 is available in
space-saving 8-lead JEDEC SOIC and 8-lead TSSOP packages. The AT24C256 is
available in a space-saving 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package. In addition, the entire family
is available in 2.7V (2.7V to 5.5V) version.

Pin Description
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL): The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into each
EEPROM device and negative edge clock data out of each device.
SERIAL DATA (SDA): The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. This pin is opendrain driven and may be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or open collector
devices.
DEVICE/ADDRESSES (A1, A0): The A1 and A0 pins are device address inputs that are hardwired or left not connected for hardware compatibility with other AT24CXX devices. When the
pins are hardwired, as many as four 128K/256K 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 A1 and A0 pins will be internally pulled down to GND if the capacitive
coupling to the circuit board VCC plane is <3 pF. If coupling is >3 pF, Atmel recommends connecting the address pins to GND.
WRITE PROTECT (WP): The write protect input, when connected to GND, allows normal write
operations. When WP is connected high to VCC, all write operations to the memory are inhibited. If the pin is left floating, the WP pin will be internally pulled down to GND if the capacitive
coupling to the circuit board VCC plane is <3 pF. If coupling is >3 pF, Atmel recommends connecting the pin to GND.
Memory
Organization
AT24C128/256, 128K/256K SERIAL EEPROM: The 128K/256K is internally organized as
256/512 pages of 64-bytes each. Random word addressing requires a 14/15-bit data word
address.

Device
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 (see Figure 4 on
page 7). 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 (see Figure 5 on page 8).
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 (see Figure 5 on page 8).
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 AT24C128/256 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 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.

Device
Addressing
The 128K/256K EEPROM requires an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to
enable the chip for a read or write operation (see Figure 7 on page 10). The device address
word consists of a mandatory one, zero sequence for the first five most significant bits as
shown. This is common to all two-wire EEPROM devices.
The 128K/256K uses the two device address bits A1, A0 to allow as many as four devices on
the same bus. These bits must compare to their corresponding hardwired input pins. The A1
and A0 pins use an internal proprietary circuit that biases them to a logic low condition if the
pins are allowed to float.
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 device will return to a standby state.
DATA SECURITY: The AT24C128/256 has a hardware data protection scheme that allows the
user to write protect the whole memory when the WP pin is at VCC.

Write
Operations
BYTE WRITE: A write operation requires two 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. The addressing device, such as a microcontroller,
then 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 (see Figure 8 on
page 10).
PAGE WRITE: The 128K/256K EEPROM is capable of 64-byte page writes.
A page write is initiated the same way 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 63 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 (see Figure 9 on page 11).
The data word address lower 6 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 64 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.
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.

5121B–SEEPR–2/07
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 (see Figure 10 on page 11).
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 (see Figure 11 on page 11).
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 (see Figure 12 on page 11).
