Note:
(1) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(2) tPUR and tPUW are the delays required from the time VCC is stable until the specified operation can be initiated.
The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal program/erase cycle. During
the write cycle, the bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high, and the device does not respond to its slave
address.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24WC129 supports the I2C Bus data transmission protocol. This Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus protocol
defines any device that sends data to the bus to be a
transmitter and any device receiving data to be a receiver. The transfer is controlled by the Master device
which generates the serial clock and all START and
STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24WC129
operates as a Slave device. Both the Master device and
Slave device can operate as either transmitter or receiver, but the Master device controls which mode is
activated.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
I2C BUS PROTOCOL
SCL: Serial Clock
The serial clock input clocks all data transferred into or
out of the device.
The features of the I2C bus protocol are defined as
follows:
(1) Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
SDA: Serial Data/Address
The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA pin
is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed with other
open drain or open collector outputs.
(2) During a data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Any changes
in the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.
WP: Write Protect
START Condition
This input, when tied to GND, allows write operations to
the entire memory. When this pin is tied to Vcc, the top
1/4 array of memory (locations 3000H to 3FFFH) is write
protected. When left floating, memory is unprotected.
t
r
a
P
The START Condition precedes all commands to the
device, and is defined as a HIGH to LOW transition of
SDA when SCL is HIGH. The CAT24WC129 monitors
the SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this
condition is met.
d
e
STOP Condition
A LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH
determines the STOP condition. All operations must
end with a STOP condition.

DEVICE ADDRESSING
knowledge, the CAT24WC129 will continue to transmit
data. If no acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device
terminates data transmission and waits for a STOP
condition.
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a
START condition. The Master sends the address of the
particular slave device it is requesting. The seven most
significant bits of the 8-bit slave address are fixed as
1010XXX (Fig. 5), where X can be a 0 or 1. The last bit
of the slave address specifies whether a Read or Write
operation is to be performed. When this bit is set to 1, a
Read operation is selected, and when set to 0, a Write
operation is selected.
WRITE OPERATIONS
Byte Write
After the Master sends a START condition and the slave
address byte, the CAT24WC129 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address. The
CAT24WC129 then performs a Read or Write operation
depending on the state of the R/W bit.
a
P
d
e
Acknowledge
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is
required to generate an acknowledge. The Acknowledging device pulls down the SDA line during the ninth clock
cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits of data.
t
r
In the Byte Write mode, the Master device sends the
START condition and the slave address information
(with the R/W bit set to zero) to the Slave device. After
the Slave generates an acknowledge, the Master sends
two 8-bit address words that are to be written into the
address pointers of the CAT24WC129. After receiving
another acknowledge from the Slave, the Master device
transmits the data to be written into the addressed
memory location. The CAT24WC129 acknowledges
once more and the Master generates the STOP condition. At this time, the device begins an internal programming cycle to nonvolatile memory. While the cycle is in
progress, the device will not respond to any request from
the Master device.
u

Page Write
The CAT24WC129 responds with an acknowledge after
receiving a START condition and its slave address. If the
device has been selected along with a write operation,
it responds with an acknowledge after receiving each 8bit byte.

When the CAT24WC129 begins a READ mode it transmits 8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and monitors
the line for an acknowledge. Once it receives this ac-

The CAT24WC129 writes up to 64 bytes of data, in a
single write cycle, using the Page Write operation. The
page write operation is initiated in the same manner as
the byte write operation, however instead of terminating
after the initial byte is transmitted, the Master is allowed
to send up to 63 additional bytes. After each byte has
been transmitted, CAT24WC129 will respond with an

read only. The CAT24WC129 will accept both slave and
byte addresses, but the memory location accessed is
protected from programming by the device’s failure to
send an acknowledge after the first byte of data is
received.
If the Master transmits more than 64 bytes before sending
the STOP condition, the address counter ‘wraps around’,
and previously transmitted data will be overwritten.
READ OPERATIONS
When all 64 bytes are received, and the STOP condition
has been sent by the Master, the internal programming
cycle begins. At this point, all received data is written to
the CAT24WC129 in a single write cycle.
Acknowledge Polling
Disabling of the inputs can be used to take advantage of
the typical write cycle time. Once the stop condition is
issued to indicate the end of the host's write operation,
CAT24WC129 initiates the internal write cycle. ACK
polling can be initiated immediately. This involves issuing the start condition followed by the slave address for
a write operation. If CAT24WC129 is still busy with the
write operation, no ACK will be returned. If
CAT24WC129 has completed the write operation, an
ACK will be returned and the host can then proceed with
the next read or write operation.

The READ operation for the CAT24WC129 is initiated in
the same manner as the write operation with one exception, that R/W bit is set to one. Three different READ
operations are possible: Immediate/Current Address
READ, Selective/Random READ and Sequential READ.
The CAT24WC129’s address counter contains the address of the last byte accessed, incremented by one. In
other words, if the last READ or WRITE access was to
address N, the READ immediately following would access data from address N+1. If N=E (where E=16383),
then the counter will ‘wrap around’ to address 0 and
continue to clock out data. After the CAT24WC129
receives its slave address information (with the R/W bit
set to one), it issues an acknowledge, then transmits the
8 bit byte requested. The master device does not send
an acknowledge, but will generate a STOP condition.

‘dummy’ write operation by sending the START condition, slave address and byte addresses of the location it
wishes to read. After CAT24WC129 acknowledges, the
Master device sends the START condition and the slave
address again, this time with the R/W bit set to one. The
CAT24WC129 then responds with its acknowledge and
sends the 8-bit byte requested. The master device does
not send an acknowledge but will generate a STOP
condition.
data. The CAT24WC129 will continue to output an 8-bit
byte for each acknowledge sent by the Master. The
operation will terminate when the Master fails to respond
with an acknowledge, thus sending the STOP condition.
The data being transmitted from CAT24WC129 is outputted sequentially with data from address N followed by
data from address N+1. The READ operation address
counter increments all of the CAT24WC129 address bits
so that the entire memory array can be read during one
operation. If more than E (where E=16383) bytes are
read out, the counter will ‘wrap around’ and continue to
clock out data bytes.
Sequential Read
The Sequential READ operation can be initiated by
either the Immediate Address READ or Selective READ
operations. After the CAT24WC129 sends the initial 8bit byte requested, the Master will respond with an
acknowledge which tells the device it requires more
