DAI01E-02 2002/11 - 1 - ASAHI KASEI [AK6004A/08A] General Description The AK6004A/08A is a 4096/16384-bit serial CMOS EEPROM divided into 512/2048 registers of 8 bits each. The AK6004A/08A can operate full function under wide operating voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V. The charge up circuit is integrated for high voltage generation that is used for write operation. The AK6004A/08A conforms to all specifications in the 2 wire protocol and is controlled by serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) line. Some devices can be connected to the same bus. Each device connected to the bus is software addressable by a unique address, and can operate as either a transmitter or receiver. In addition to transmitters and receivers, devices can also be considered as masters or slaves when performing data transfers (see Table1). The master is the device which initiates a data transfers on the bus and generates the clock signals to permit that transfer. At that time, the device addressed is considered as the slave. TERM DESCRIPTION Transmitter The device which sends the data to the bus Receiver The device which receives the data from the bus Master The device which initiates a transfer, generates clock signals and terminates a transfer Slave The device addressed by a master Table 1.

After the START condition, a slave address is sent. After the AK6004A/08A recognizes the START condition, the devices interfaced to the bus wait for the slave address to be transmitted over the SDA line. If the transmitted slave address matches an address of one of the devices, the designated slave pulls the SDA line to LOW (ACKNOWLEDGE). The data transfer is always terminated by a STOP condition generated by the master. [Data validity] The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock. The HIGH or LOW state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW. SCL SDA DATA STABLE DATA CHANGE Figure 1. Data transfer [START and STOP condition] A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines a START condition. All commands are preceded by the START condition. A LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines a STOP condition. All communications are terminated by the STOP condition. After a read sequence, the STOP condition will place the EEPROM in a standby power mode. SCL SDA START CONDITION STOP CONDITION Figure 2. Start and Stop Definition DAI01E-02 2002/11 - 3 - ASAHI KASEI [AK6004A/08A] [ACKNOWLEDGE] ACKNOWLEDGE is a software convention used to indicate successful data transfers. The transmitting device will release the bus after transmitting eight bits. During the next clock (ninth clock), the receiver will pull the SDA line to LOW to acknowledge that it received the eight bits of data. The AK6004A/08A will respond with an acknowledge after recognition of a start condition and its slave address. If both the device and a write operation have been selected, the AK6004A/08A will respond with an acknowledge after the receipt of each subsequent eight bit word. In the read mode the AK6004A/08A slave will transmit eight bits of data, release the SDA line and monitor the line for an acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no STOP condition is generated by the master, the slave will continue to transmit data. If an acknowledge is not detected, the slave will terminate further data transmissions and await the STOP condition to return to the standby power mode.

Acknowledge Response from Receiver DAI01E-02 2002/11 - 4 - ASAHI KASEI [AK6004A/08A] [SLAVE ADDRESS] After the START condition, a SLAVE ADDRESS is sent. If the transmitted slave address matches an address of one of the device, the designated slave pulls the SDA line to LOW. AK6004A ・・The most significant four bits of the slave address are fixed as "1010". The next two bits are S2, S1 device address bits. These two bits identify the specific device on the bus. They is set by the hard wired input pins (S1 pin and S2 pin). Therefore a total of four devices can be connected to the same bus. The next one bit is the most significant bit of the memory address. AK6008A ・・The most significant four bits of the slave address are fixed as "1010". The next three bits are the most significant three bits of the memory address. The last bit of the slave address (R/W bit) defines whether a write or read condition is requested by the master. A "1" indicates that the read operation is to be executed. A "0" indicates that the write operation is to be executed. MSB of memory address DEVICE ADDRESS 1 0 1 0 S2 S1 A8 R/W They is set by the hard-wired input pins (S1 pin and S2 pin). Figure 4.

SDA (Serial Data) The SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the device. It is an open drain output and may be wire-ORed with any number of open drain or open collector outputs. S1, S2 (Device Address): AK6004A The S1 and S2 are device address inputs that are used to set two bits of the slave address. AK6004A: A total of four devices can be connected to the same bus. WC (Write Control) AK6004A: If the WC is High level, WRITE operations will not be executed. If the WC is Low level, the AK6004A will be enabled to perform WRITE operation. AK6008A: If the WC is High level, WRITE operations onto the upper half of the memory (400 to 7FF(Hex)) will not be executed. If the WC is Low level, the AK6008A will be enabled to perform WRITE operation. As the WC is internally pulled down to GND, the AK6004A/08A will be enabled to perform WRITE operation if the WC is left floating. WC must not change from the start condition input to the stop condition input. VCC (Power Supply) GND (Ground) DAI01E-02 2002/11 - 6 - ASAHI KASEI [AK6004A/08A] Functional Description WRITE Operations BYTE WRITE A write operation requires a word address following the slave address word (R/W=0) and acknowledge. The word address is comprised of eight bits and provides access to any one of the 512/2048 words. Upon receipt of the word address the AK6004A/08A responds with an acknowledge, and awaits the next eight bits of data, again, responding with an acknowledge. The master then terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition, at which time the AK6004A/08A begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory. While the internal write cycle is in progress the AK6004A/08A inputs are disable, and the device will not respond to any requests from the master.

It is initiated in the same manner as the byte write operation. But instead of terminating the write cycle after the first data word is transferred, the master can transmit up to fifteen more words. After the receipt of each word, the AK6004A/08A will respond with an acknowledge. The master then terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition, at which time the AK6004A/08A begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory. After the receipt of each word, the four lower order address pointer bits are internally incremented by one. The higher order five/seven bits of the word address remains constant. AK6004A: When the highest address is reached (X XXXX 1111), the address counter rolls over to address "X XXXX 0000" allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely. AK6008A: When the highest address is reached (XXX XXXX 1111), the address counter rolls over to address "XXX XXXX 0000" allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely. If the master should transmit more than sixteen words prior to generating the stop condition, the address counter will "roll over" and the previously written data will be overwritten. When the master transmit eighteen words prior to the stop condition, seventeenth word will be overwritten to first word, and eighteenth word will be overwritten to second word.

This feature (ACK polling) can be used to maximize bus throughput. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the host's write operation the AK6004A/08A 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 the AK6004A/08A is still busy with the write operation no ACK will be returned. If the AK6004A/08A has completed the write operation an ACK will be returned and the host can then proceed with the next read or write operation. When the write operation is executed after the ACK polling, the host can issue the byte address consecutively after the ACK is returned. When the read operation is executed after the ACK polling, the host should issue the stop condition once.

ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING DAI01E-02 2002/11 - 8 - ASAHI KASEI [AK6004A/08A] READ Operations There are three basic read operations: current address read, random read, and sequential read. Read operations are initiated in the same manner as write operations, with the exception that the R/W bit of the slave address is set to a one. It is noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read operation is not a "don't care". To terminate a read operation, the master must hold SDA HIGH during the ninth clock cycle and then issue a stop condition. CURRENT ADDRESS READ Internally the AK6004A/08A contains an address counter that maintains the address of the last word accessed, incremented by one. Therefore, if the last access (either a read or write) was to address n, the next read operation would access data from address n+1. Upon receipt of the slave address with R/W bit set to one, the AK6004A/08A issues an acknowledge and transmits the eight bit word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but generate a stop condition, and therefore the AK6004A/08A discontinues transmission. Bus Activity: Master S T A R T SLAVE ADDRESS S T O P DATA P SDA LINE S A C K Bus Activity: AK6004A/08A CURRENT ADDRESS READ RANDOM READ Random read operations allow the master to access any memory location in a random manner. Prior to issuing the slave address with the R/W bit set to one, the master must first perform a "dummy" write operation. The master issues the start condition, slave address and then the word address it is to read. After the word address acknowledge, the master immediately reissues the start condition and the slave address with the R/W bit set to one. This will be followed by an acknowledge from the AK6004A/08A and then by the eight bit word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but generate the stop condition, and therefore the AK6004A/08A discontinues transmission.

The first word is transmitted in the same manner as the other read modes. However the master responds with an acknowledge, indicating it requires additional data. The AK6004A/08A continues to output data for each acknowledge received. The data output is sequential, with the data from address n followed by the data from n+1. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but generate the stop condition, and therefore the AK6004A/08A discontinues transmission. AK6004A: When the highest address is reached ($1FF), the address counter rolls over to address $000 allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely. AK6008A: When the highest address is reached ($7FF), the address counter rolls over to address $000 allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely.
