OVERVIEW
The S524LB0D91/B0DB1 serial EEPROM has a 32/64 Kbits (4,096/8,192 bytes) capacity, supporting the
standard I2C™-bus serial interface. It is fabricated using Samsung’s most advanced CMOS technology. One of
its major features is a hardware-based write protection circuit for the entire memory area. Hardware-based write
protection is controlled by the state of the write-protect (WP) pin. Using one-page write mode, you can load up to
32 bytes of data into the EEPROM in a single write operation. Another significant feature of the
S524LB0D91/B0DB1 is its support for fast mode and standard mode.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
I2C-BUS INTERFACE
The S524LB0D91/B0DB1 supports the I2C-bus serial interface data transmission protocol. The two-wire bus
consists of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The SDA and the SCL lines must be connected
to VCC by a pull-up resistor that is located somewhere on the bus.
Any device that puts data onto the bus is defined as a “transmitter” and any device that gets data from the bus is
a “receiver.” The bus is controlled by a master device which generates the serial clock and start/stop conditions,
controlling bus access. Using the A0, A1, and A2 input pins, up to eight S524LB0D91/B0DB1 devices can be
connected to the same I2C-bus as slaves (see Figure 7-6). Both the master and slaves can operate as a
transmitter or a receiver, but the master device determines which bus operating mode would be active.

I2C-BUS PROTOCOLS
Here are several rules for I2C-bus transfers:
— A new data transfer can be initiated only when the bus is currently not busy.
— MSB is always transferred first in transmitting data.
— During a data transfer, the data line (SDA) must remain stable whenever the clock line (SCL) is High.
The I2C-bus interface supports the following communication protocols:
Bus not busy: The SDA and the SCL lines remain in High level when the bus is not active.
•
Start condition: A start condition is initiated by a High-to-Low transition of the SDA line while SCL remains in
High level. All bus commands must be preceded by a start condition.
•
Stop condition: A stop condition is initiated by a Low-to-High transition of the SDA line while SCL remains in
High level. All bus operations must be completed by a stop condition (see Figure 7-7).

Figure 7-7. Data Transmission Sequence
•
Data valid: Following a start condition, the data becomes valid if the data line remains stable for the duration
of the High period of SCL. New data must be put onto the bus while SCL is Low. Bus timing is one clock
pulse per data bit. The number of data bytes to be transferred is determined by the master device. The total
number of bytes that can be transferred in one operation is theoretically unlimited.
•
ACK (Acknowledge): An ACK signal indicates that a data transfer is completed successfully. The transmitter
(the master or the slave) releases the bus after transmitting eight bits. During the 9th clock, which the master
generates, the receiver pulls the SDA line low to acknowledge that it has successfully received the eight bits
of data (see Figure 7-8). But the slave does not send an ACK if an internal write cycle is still in progress.
In data read operations, the slave releases the SDA line after transmitting 8 bits of data and then monitors
the line for an ACK signal during the 9th clock period. If an ACK is detected but no stop condition, the slave
will continue to transmit data. If an ACK is not detected, the slave terminates data transmission and waits for
a stop condition to be issued by the master before returning to its stand-by mode.

•
Slave Address: After the master initiates a start condition, it must output the address of the device to be
accessed. The most significant four bits of the slave address are called the “device identifier.” The identifier
for the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 is “1010B”. The next three bits comprise the address of a specific device. The
device address is defined by the state of the A0, A1, and A2 pins. Using this addressing scheme, you can
cascade up to eight S524LB0D91/B0DB1s on the bus (see Figure 7-9 below).
•
Read/Write: The final (eighth) bit of the slave address defines the type of operation to be performed. If the
R/W bit is “1”, a read operation is executed. If it is “0”, a write operation is executed.

BYTE WRITE OPERATION
A write operation requires 2-byte word addresses, the first (high) word address and the second (low) word
address. In a byte write operation, the master transmits the slave address, the first word address, the second
word address, and one data byte to the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 slave device (see Figure 7-10).

Figure 7-10. Byte Write Operation
Following a start condition, the master puts the device identifier (4 bits), the device address (3 bits), and an R/W
bit set to “0” onto the bus. Upon the receipt of the slave address, the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 responds with an ACK.
And the master transmits the first word address, the second word address, and one byte data to be written into
the addressed memory location.
The master terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition, at which time the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 begins
the internal write cycle. While the internal write cycle is in progress, all S524LB0D91/B0DB1 inputs are disabled
and the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 does not respond to any additional request from the master.

PAGE WRITE OPERATION
The S524LB0D91/B0DB1 can also perform 32-byte page write operation. A page write operation is initiated in the
same way as a byte write operation. However, instead of finishing the write operation after the first data byte is
transferred, the master can transmit up to 31 additional bytes. The S524LB0D91/B0DB1 responds with an ACK
each time it receives a complete byte of data (see Figure 7-11).

Figure 7-11. Page Write Operation
The S524LB0D91/B0DB1 automatically increments the word address pointer each time it receives a complete
data byte. When one byte is received, the internal word address pointer increments to the next address so that
the next data byte can be received.
If the master transmits more than 32 bytes before it generates a stop condition to end the page write operation,
the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 word address pointer value “rolls over” and the previously received data is overwritten.
If the master transmits less than 32 bytes and generates a stop condition, the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 writes the
received data to the corresponding EEPROM address.
During a page write operation, all inputs are disabled and there would be no response to additional requests from
the master until the internal write cycle is completed.

POLLING FOR AN ACK SIGNAL
When the master issues a stop condition to initiate a write cycle, the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 starts an internal write
cycle. The master can then immediately begin polling for an ACK from the slave device to determine whether the
write cycle is completed.
To poll for an ACK signal in a write operation, the master issues a start condition followed by the slave address.
As long as the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 remains busy with the write operation, no ACK is returned. When the
S524LB0D91/B0DB1 completes the write operation, it returns an ACK and the master can then proceed with the
next read or write operation (see Figure 7-12).

S524LB0D91/B0DB1 SERIAL EEPROM
HARDWARE-BASED WRITE PROTECTION
You can also write-protect the entire memory area of the S524LB0D91/B0DB1. This write protection is controlled
by the state of the Write Protect (WP) pin.
When the WP pin is connected to VCC, any attempt to write a value to it is ignored. The S524LB0D91/B0DB1 will
acknowledge slave and word addresses, but it will not generate an acknowledge after receiving the first byte of
data. In this situation, the write cycle will not be started when a stop condition is generated. By connecting the
WP pin to VSS, the write function is allowed for the entire memory.
These write protection features effectively change the EEPROM to a ROM in order to protect data from being
overwritten. Whenever the write function is disabled, a slave address and word addresses are acknowledged on
the bus, but data bytes are not acknowledged.
CURRENT ADDRESS BYTE READ OPERATION
The internal word address pointer maintains the address of the last word accessed, incremented by one.
Therefore, if the last access (either read or write) was to the address “n”, the next read operation would be to
access data at address “n+1”.
When the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 receives a slave address with the R/W bit set to “1”, it issues an ACK and sends
the eight bits of data. In a current address byte read operation, the master does not acknowledge the data, and it
generates a stop condition, forcing the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 to stop the transmission (see Figure 7-13).

RANDOM ADDRESS BYTE READ OPERATION
Using random read operations, the master can access any memory location at any time. Before it issues the
slave address with the R/W bit set to “1”, the master must first perform a “dummy” write operation. This operation
is performed in the following steps:
1. The master first issues a start condition, the slave address, and the word address (the first and the second
addresses) to be read. (This step sets the internal word address pointer of the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 to the
desired address.)
2. When the master receives an ACK for the word address, it immediately re-issues a start condition followed
by another slave address, with the R/W bit set to “1”.
3. The S524LB0D91/B0DB1 then sends an ACK and the 8-bit data stored at the pointed address.
4. At this point, the master does not acknowledge the transmission, generating a stop condition.
5. The S524LB0D91/B0DB1 stops transmitting data and reverts to stand-by mode (see Figure 7-14).

SEQUENTIAL READ OPERATION
Sequential read operations can be performed in two ways: current address sequential read operation, and
random address sequential read operation. The first data is sent in either of the two ways, current address byte
read operation or random address byte read operation described earlier. If the master responds with an ACK, the
S524LB0D91/B0DB1 continues transmitting data. If the master does not issue an ACK, generating a stop
condition, the slave stops transmission, ending the sequential read operation.
Using this method, data is output sequentially from address “n” followed by address “n+1”. The word address
pointer for read operations increments to all word addresses, allowing the entire EEPROM to be read sequentially
in a single operation. After the entire EEPROM is read, the word address pointer “rolls over” and the
S524LB0D91/B0DB1 continues to transmit data for each ACK it receives from the master (see Figure 7-15).

When acting as a transmitter, the S524LB0D91/B0DB1 must provide an internal minimum delay time to bridge the
undefined period (minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL. This is required to avoid unintended generation of a start
or stop condition.
