A Write Protect Register at the highest address location,
FFFFh, provides three write protection features: Software
Write Protect, Block Lock Protect, and Programmable
Hardware Write Protect. The Software Write Protect
feature prevents any nonvolatile writes to the device
until the WEL bit in the Write Protect Register is set.
The Block Lock Protection feature gives the user eight
array block protect options, set by programming three
bits in the Write Protect Register. The Programmable
Hardware Write Protect feature allows the user to
install the device with WP tied to VCC, write to and
Block Lock the desired portions of the memory array in
circuit, and then enable the In Circuit Programmable
ROM Mode by programming the WPEN bit HIGH in the
Write Protect Register. After this, the Block Locked
portions of the array, including the Write Protect Register
itself, are protected from being erased if WP is high.
Xicor EEPROMs are designed and tested for applications requiring extended endurance. Inherent data
retention is greater than 100 years.

The device select inputs (S0, S1) are used to set bits in
the slave address. This allows up to four devices to
share a common bus. These inputs can be static or
actively driven. If used statically they must be tied to
VSS or VCC as appropriate. If actively driven, they must
be driven with CMOS levels (driven to VCC or VSS) and
they must be constant between each start and stop
issued on the SDA bus. These pins have an active pull
down internally and will be sensed as low if the pin is
left unconnected.

Write Protect (WP)
WP must be constant between each start and stop
issued on the SDA bus and is always active (not
gated). The WP pin has an active pull down to disable
the write protection when the input is left floating. The
Write Protect input controls the Hardware Write Protect
feature. When held LOW, Hardware Write Protection is
disabled. When this input is held HIGH, and the WPEN
bit in the Write Protect Register is set HIGH, the Write
Protect Register is protected, preventing changes to
the Block Lock Protection and WPEN bits.

DEVICE OPERATION
Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during
SCL LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating start and stop conditions. Refer
to Figures 1 and 2.
t
The device supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data
onto the bus as a transmitter, and the receiving device
as the receiver. The device controlling the transfer is a
master and the device being controlled is the slave.
The master will always initiate data transfers, and provide the clock for both transmit and receive operations.
Therefore, the device will be considered a slave in all
applications.
du
c
Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The device continuously monitors the SDA and
SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to
any command until this condition has been met.

Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when
SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is also used to place
the device into the standby power mode after a read
sequence. A stop condition can only be issued after
the transmitting device has released the bus.
Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfer. The transmitting device, either
master or slave, will release the bus after transmitting
eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle the receiver will
pull the SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received
the eight bits of data. Refer to Figure 3.
REV 1.1.1 10/15/00
The device 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 device will respond with an acknowledge
after the receipt of each subsequent 8-bit word.
In the read mode the device 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 device
will continue to transmit data. If an acknowledge is not
detected, the device will terminate further data transmissions. The master must then issue a stop condition
to return the device to the standby power mode and
place the device into a known state.

O
The internal organization of the E2 array is 512 pages
by 64 bytes per page. The page address is partially
contained in the Word Address Byte 1 and partially in
bits 7 through 6 of the Word Address Byte 0. The byte
address is contained in bits 5 through 0 of the Word
Address Byte 0. See Figure 4.

High Order Word Address
Low Order Word Address
On power up the internal address is undefined, so the
first read or write operation must supply an address.
The word address is either supplied by the master or
obtained from an internal counter, depending on the
operation. The master must supply the two Word
Address Bytes as shown in Figure 4.

Device
Select
Slave Address Byte
e
P
Following a start condition, the master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing. The first four bits of
the Slave Address Byte are the device type identifier
bits. These must equal “1010”. The next 2 bits are the
device select bits S0 and S1. This allows up to 4
devices to share a single bus. These bits are compared
to the S0 and S1 device select input pins. The last bit of
the Slave Address Byte defines the operation to be
performed. When the R/W bit is a one, then a read
operation is selected. When it is zero then a write operation is selected. Refer to Figure 4. After loading the
Slave Address Byte from the SDA bus, the device compares the device type bits with the value “1010” and the
device select bits with the status of the device select
input pins. If the compare is not successful, no
acknowledge is output during the ninth clock cycle and
the device returns to the standby mode.

X24257 – Preliminary Information
WRITE OPERATIONS
after the first data word is transferred, the master can
transmit up to sixty-three more words. The device will
respond with an acknowledge after the receipt of each
word, and then the byte address is internally incremented by one. The page address remains constant.
When the counter reaches the end of the page, it “rolls
over” and goes back to the first byte of the current
page. This means that the master can write 64-bytes to
the page beginning at any byte. If the master begins
writing at byte 32, and loads 64-bytes, then the first
32-bytes are written to bytes 32 through 63, and the
last 16 words are written to bytes 0 through 31. Afterwards, the address counter would point to byte 32. If the
master writes more than 64 bytes, then the previously
loaded data is overwritten by the new data, one byte at
a time.
ro
du
c
t
Byte Write
For a write operation, the device follows “3 byte” protocol, consisting of one Slave Address Byte, one Word
Address Byte 1, and the Word Address Byte 0, which
gives the master access to any one of the words in the
array. Upon receipt of the Word Address Byte 0, the
device responds with an acknowledge, and waits for
the first eight bits of data. After receiving the 8 bits of
the data byte, the device again responds with an
acknowledge. The master then terminates the transfer
by generating a stop condition, at which time the
device begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile
memory. While the internal write cycle is in progress
the device inputs are disabled and the device will not
respond to any requests from the master. The SDA pin
is at high impedance. See Figure 5.
The master terminates the data byte loading by issuing
a stop condition, which causes the device to begin the
nonvolatile write cycle. As with the byte write operation,
all inputs are disabled until completion of the internal
write cycle. Refer to Figure 6 for the address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.

X24257 – Preliminary Information
Current Address Read
Internally, the device contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word read or written
incremented by one. After a read operation from the
last address in the array, the counter will “roll over” to
the first address in the array. After a write operation to
the last address in a given page, the counter will “roll
over” to the first address on the same page.
t
The device will perform a similar operation called “Set
Current Address” if a stop is issued instead of the second start shown in Figure 9. The device will go into
standby mode after the stop and all bus activity will be
ignored until a start is detected. The effect of this operation is that the new address is loaded into the address
counter, but no data is output by the device.
P
Upon receipt of the Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit
set to one, the device issues an acknowledge and then
transmits the eight bits of the Data Byte. The master terminates the read operation when it does not respond
with an acknowledge during the ninth clock and then
issues a stop condition. Refer to Figure 8 for the
address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.
du
c
Read operations are initiated in the same manner as
write operations with the exception that the R/W bit of
the Slave Address Byte is set to one. There are three
basic read operations: Current Address Reads, Random Reads, and Sequential Reads.
Random Read
Random read operation allows the master to access
any memory location in the array. Prior to issuing the
Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit set to one, the
master must first perform a “Dummy” write operation.
The master issues the start condition and the Slave
Address Byte with the R/W bit low, receives an
acknowledge, then issues the Word Address Byte 1,
receives another acknowledge, then issues the Word
Address Byte 0. After the device acknowledges receipt
of the Word Address Byte 0, the master issues another
start condition and the Slave Address Byte with the R/W
bit set to one. This is followed by an acknowledge and
then eight bits of data from the device. The master terminates the read operation by not responding with an
acknowledge and then issuing a stop condition. Refer
to Figure 9 for the address, acknowledge, and data
transfer sequence.
ro
READ OPERATIONS
et
e
It should be noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read
operation is not a “don’t care.” To terminate a read
operation, the master must either issue a stop condition during the ninth cycle or hold SDA HIGH during
the ninth clock cycle and then issue a stop condition.

Data
The next Current Address Read operation will read
from the newly loaded address.
Sequential Read
Sequential reads can be initiated as either a current
address read or random read. The first Data Byte is
transmitted as with the other modes; however, the
master now responds with an acknowledge, indicating
it requires additional data. The device continues to output data for each acknowledge received. The master terminates the read operation by not responding with an
acknowledge and then issuing a stop condition.
The data output is sequential, with the data from
address n followed by the data from address n + 1. The
address counter for read operations increments
through all byte addresses, allowing the entire memory
contents to be read during one operation. At the end of
the address space the counter “rolls over” to address
0000h and the device continues to output data for each
acknowledge received. Refer to Figure 10 for the
acknowledge and data transfer sequence.

CONTROL REGISTER (CR)
et
The Control Register is located in an area logically
separated from the array and is only accessible via a
byte write to the register address of FFFFH. The Control Register is physically part of the array.
bs
ol
The Control Register can only be modified by performing a byte write operation directly to the address of the
register and only one data byte is allowed for each register write operation. Prior to initiating a nonvolatile
write to the Control Register, the WEL and RWEL bits
must be set using a two step process, with the whole
sequence requiring 3 steps.
O
The user must issue a stop, after sending this byte to
the register, to initiate the high voltage cycle that writes
BP2, BP1, BP0 and WPEN to the nonvolatile bits. The
part will not acknowledge any data bytes written after
the first byte is entered. A stop must also be issued
after a volatile register write operation to put the device
into Standby. After a write to the CR, the address
counter contents are undefined.
The state of the Control Register can be read by performing a random read at the address of the register at
any time. Only one byte is read by the register read
operation. The part will reset itself after the first byte is

Writing to the Control Register
Changing any of the nonvolatile bits of the control register requires the following steps:
To illustrate, a sequence of writes to the device consisting of [02H, 06H, 02H] will reset all of the nonvolatile
bits to 0 and clear the RWEL bit. A sequence of [02H,
06H, 06H] will leave the nonvolatile bits unchanged
and the RWEL bit remains set.
ol
– Write a 02H to the Control Register to set the Write
Enable Latch (WEL). This is a volatile operation, so
there is no delay after the write. (Operation preceeded by a start and ended with a stop).
– The RWEL bit cannot be reset without writing to the
nonvolatile control bits in the control register, power
cycling the device or attempting a write to a write
protected block.
bs
– Write a 06H to the Control Register to set both the
Register Write Enable Latch (RWEL) and the WEL
bit. This is also a volatile cycle. The zeros in the data
byte are required. (Operation preceeded by a start
and ended with a stop).
O
– Write a value to the Control Register that has all the
control bits set to the desired state, with the WEL bit
set to ‘1’ and the RWEL bit set to ‘0’. This can be
represented as n00s t01r in binary, where n is the
WPEN bit and rst are the BP2-BP0 bits. (Operation
preceeded by a start and ended with a stop). Since
this is nonvolatile write cycle it will take up to 10ms to
complete. The RWEL bit is reset by this cycle and the
sequence must be repeated to change the nonvolatile bits again. If bit 2 is set to ‘1’ in this third step
(n00s t11r) then the RWEL bit remains set and the
WPEN, BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits remain unchanged.

Notes: (6) tWC is the minimum cycle time to be allowed from the system perspective unless polling techniques are used. It is the maximum
time the device requires to automatically complete the internal write operation.
The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal erase/write
cycle. During the write cycle, the X24257 bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain HIGH, and
the device does not respond to its slave address.
