As a transmitter, the device must provide an internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
The combined TSP and VHYS specifications are due to new Schmitt Trigger inputs, which provide improved
noise spike suppression. This eliminates the need for a TI specification for standard operation.

2.1
A0, A1, A2 Chip Address Inputs
The A0, A1 and A2 inputs are used by the 24XX256 for
multiple device operations. The levels on these inputs
are compared with the corresponding bits in the slave
address. The chip is selected if the compare is true.
For the MSOP package only, pins A0 and A1 are not
connected.
Up to eight devices (two for the MSOP package) may
be connected to the same bus by using different Chip
Select bit combinations. These inputs must be
connected to either VCC or VSS.
In most applications, the chip address inputs A0, A1
and A2 are hard-wired to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’. For
applications in which these pins are controlled by a
microcontroller or other programmable device, the chip
address pins must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’
before normal device operation can proceed.
2.2
Serial Data (SDA)
This is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and out of the device. It is an open drain
terminal. Therefore, the SDA bus requires a pull-up
resistor to VCC (typical 10 k for 100 kHz, 2 k for
400 kHz and 1 MHz).
2.3
Serial Clock (SCL)
This input is used to synchronize the data transfer to
and from the device.
2.4
Write-Protect (WP)
This pin must be connected to either VSS or VCC. If tied
to VSS, write operations are enabled. If tied to VCC,
write operations are inhibited but read operations are
not affected.
3.0
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24XX256 supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a device
receiving data as a receiver. The bus must be
controlled by a master device which generates the
Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and
generates the Start and Stop conditions while the
24XX256 works as a slave. Both master and slave can
operate as a transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
For normal data transfer, SDA is allowed to change
only during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating the Start and Stop conditions.

BUS CHARACTERISTICS
The following bus protocol has been defined:
• Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
• During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Changes in
the data line, while the clock line is high, will be
interpreted as a Start or Stop condition.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Figure 4-1).
4.1
Bus Not Busy (A)
Both data and clock lines remain high.
4.2
Start Data Transfer (B)
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high, determines a Start condition. All
commands must be preceded by a Start condition.
4.3
Stop Data Transfer (C)
A low-to-high transition of the SDA line, while the clock
(SCL) is high, determines a Stop condition. All
operations must end with a Stop condition.
DS21203Q-page 6
4.4
Data Valid (D)
The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a Start condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the high period of the clock signal.
The data on the line must be changed during the low
period of the clock signal. There is one bit of data per
clock pulse.
Each data transfer is initiated with a Start condition and
terminated with a Stop condition. The number of the
data bytes transferred between the Start and Stop
conditions is determined by the master device.
4.5
Acknowledge
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an Acknowledge signal after the reception of
each byte. The master device must generate an extra
clock pulse which is associated with this Acknowledge
bit.
Note:
The 24XX256 does not generate any
Acknowledge
bits
if
an
internal
programming cycle is in progress.
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA
line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way
that the SDA line is stable low during the high period of
the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course, setup
and hold times must be taken into account. During
reads, a master must signal an end of data to the slave
by NOT generating an Acknowledge bit on the last byte
that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the
slave (24XX256) will leave the data line high to enable
the master to generate the Stop condition.

DEVICE ADDRESSING
FIGURE 5-1:
A control byte is the first byte received following the
Start condition from the master device (Figure 5-1).
The control byte consists of a 4-bit control code. For the
24XX256, this is set as ‘1010’ binary for read and
write operations. The next three bits of the control byte
are the Chip Select bits (A2, A1, A0). The Chip Select
bits allow the use of up to eight 24XX256 devices on
the same bus and are used to select which device is
accessed. The Chip Select bits in the control byte must
correspond to the logic levels on the corresponding A2,
A1 and A0 pins for the device to respond. These bits
are, in effect, the three Most Significant bits of the word
address.
For the MSOP package, the A0 and A1 pins are not
connected. During device addressing, the A0 and A1
Chip Select bits (Figures 5-1 and 5-2) should be set to
‘0’. Only two 24XX256 MSOP packages can be
connected to the same bus.
The last bit of the control byte defines the operation to
be performed. When set to a one, a read operation is
selected. When set to a zero, a write operation is
selected. The next two bytes received define the
address of the first data byte (Figure 5-2). Because
only A14…A0 are used, the upper address bits are a
“don’t care.” The upper address bits are transferred
first, followed by the Less Significant bits.
Following the Start condition, the 24XX256 monitors
the SDA bus checking the device type identifier being
transmitted. Upon receiving a ‘1010’ code and
appropriate device select bits, the slave device outputs
an Acknowledge signal on the SDA line. Depending on
the state of the R/W bit, the 24XX256 will select a read
or write operation.

Contiguous Addressing Across
Multiple Devices
The Chip Select bits A2, A1 and A0 can be used to
expand the contiguous address space for up to 2 Mbit
by adding up to eight 24XX256 devices on the same
bus. In this case, software can use A0 of the control
byte as address bit A15; A1 as address bit A16; and A2
as address bit A17. It is not possible to sequentially
read across device boundaries.
For the MSOP package, up to two 24XX256 devices
can be added for up to 512 Kbit of address space. In
this case, software can use A2 of the control byte as
address bit A17. Bits A0 (A15) and A1 (A16) of the
control byte must always be set to a logic ‘0’ for the
MSOP.

WRITE OPERATIONS
6.1
Byte Write
Following the Start condition from the master, the
control code (four bits), the Chip Select (three bits) and
the R/W bit (which is a logic low) are clocked onto the
bus by the master transmitter. This indicates to the
addressed slave receiver that the address high byte will
follow after it has generated an Acknowledge bit during
the ninth clock cycle. Therefore, the next byte
transmitted by the master is the high-order byte of the
word address and will be written into the Address
Pointer of the 24XX256. The next byte is the Least
Significant Address Byte. After receiving another
Acknowledge signal from the 24XX256, the master
device will transmit the data word to be written into the
addressed memory location. The 24XX256 acknowledges again and the master generates a Stop
condition. This initiates the internal write cycle and
during this time, the 24XX256 will not generate
Acknowledge signals (Figure 6-1). If an attempt is
made to write to the array with the WP pin held high, the
device will acknowledge the command but no write
cycle will occur, no data will be written, and the device
will immediately accept a new command. After a byte
Write command, the internal address counter will point
to the address location following the one that was just
written.
Note:
6.2
6.3
Write Protection
The WP pin allows the user to write-protect the entire
array (0000-7FFF) when the pin is tied to VCC. If tied to
VSS the write protection is disabled. The WP pin is
sampled at the Stop bit for every Write command
(Figure 1-1). Toggling the WP pin after the Stop bit will
have no effect on the execution of the write cycle.
Note:
Page write operations are limited to writing
bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes actually
being written. Physical page boundaries
start at addresses that are integer
multiples of the page buffer size (or ‘page
size’) and end at addresses that are
integer multiples of [page size – 1]. If a
Page Write command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to the
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page, as might be
expected. It is, therefore, necessary for the
application software to prevent page write
operations that would attempt to cross a
page boundary.
When doing a write of less than 64 bytes
the data in the rest of the page is refreshed
along with the data bytes being written.
This will force the entire page to endure a
write cycle, for this reason endurance is
specified per page.
Page Write
The write control byte, word address and the first data
byte are transmitted to the 24XX256 in much the same
way as in a byte write. The exception is that instead of
generating a Stop condition, the master transmits up to
63 additional bytes, which are temporarily stored in the
on-chip page buffer, and will be written into memory
once the master has transmitted a Stop condition.
Upon receipt of each word, the six lower Address
Pointer bits are internally incremented by one. If the
master should transmit more than 64 bytes prior to
generating the Stop condition, the address counter will
roll over and the previously received data will be overwritten. As with the byte write operation, once the Stop
condition is received, an internal write cycle will begin
(Figure 6-2). If an attempt is made to write to the array
with the WP pin held high, the device will acknowledge
the command, but no write cycle will occur, no data will
be written and the device will immediately accept a new
command.

ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
Since the device will not acknowledge during a write
cycle, this can be used to determine when the cycle is
complete (This feature can be used to maximize bus
throughput). Once the Stop condition for a Write
command has been issued from the master, the device
initiates the internally timed write cycle. ACK polling
can be initiated immediately. This involves the master
sending a Start condition, followed by the control byte
for a Write command (R/W = 0). If the device is still
busy with the write cycle, then no ACK will be returned.
If no ACK is returned, the Start bit and control byte must
be resent. If the cycle is complete, then the device will
return the ACK and the master can then proceed with
the next Read or Write command. See Figure 7-1 for
flow diagram.

READ OPERATION
8.2
Random read operations allow the master to access
any memory location in a random manner. To perform
this type of read operation, the word address must first
be set. This is done by sending the word address to the
24XX256 as part of a write operation (R/W bit set to
‘0’). Once the word address is sent, the master generates a Start condition following the acknowledge. This
terminates the write operation, but not before the
internal Address Pointer is set. The master then issues
the control byte again, but with the R/W bit set to a one.
The 24XX256 will then issue an acknowledge and
transmit the 8-bit data word. The master will not
acknowledge the transfer, though it does generate a
Stop condition, which causes the 24XX256 to discontinue transmission (Figure 8-2). After a random Read
command, the internal address counter will point to the
address location following the one that was just read.
Read operations are initiated in much the same way as
write operations, with the exception that the R/W bit of
the control byte is set to ‘1’. There are three basic types
of read operations: current address read, random read
and sequential read.
8.1
Current Address Read
The 24XX256 contains an address counter that maintains the address of the last word accessed, internally
incremented by ‘1’. Therefore, if the previous read
access was to address ‘n’ (n is any legal address), the
next current address read operation would access data
from address n + 1.
Upon receipt of the control byte with R/W bit set to ‘1’,
the 24XX256 issues an acknowledge and transmits the
8-bit data word. The master will not acknowledge the
transfer, but does generate a Stop condition and the
24XX256 discontinues transmission (Figure 8-1).

Sequential Read
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read except that after the 24XX256 transmits
the first data byte, the master issues an acknowledge
as opposed to the Stop condition used in a random
read. This acknowledge directs the 24XX256 to
transmit the next sequentially addressed 8-bit word
(Figure 8-3). Following the final byte transmitted to the
master, the master will NOT generate an acknowledge,
but will generate a Stop condition. To provide sequential reads, the 24XX256 contains an internal Address
Pointer which is incremented by one at the completion
of each operation. This Address Pointer allows the
entire memory contents to be serially read during one
operation. The internal Address Pointer will
automatically roll over from address 7FFF to address
0000 if the master acknowledges the byte received
from the array address 7FFF.

NOTES:
DS21203Q-page 32
 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
