The low voltage X4C105 combines several functions
into one device. The first is a 2-wire, 4Kbit serial
EEPROM memory with write protection. A Write Protect (WP) pin provides hardware protection for the
upper half of this memory against inadvertent writes.
A one nibble NOVRAM is provided and occupies a single location. This allows access of 4-bits in a single
150ns cycle. This is useful for tracking system operation or process status. The NOVRAM memory is completely isolated from the serial memory section.
A low voltage detect circuit activates a RESET pin
when VCC drops below 3V. This signal also blocks new
read or write operations and initiates a NOVRAM
AUTOSTORE. The AUTOSTORE operation is powered by an external capacitor to ensure that the value
in the NOVRAM is always maintained in the event of a
power failure.
The four NOVRAM bits also appear on four separate
output pins to allow continuous control of external circuitry, such as ASICs.
Xicor EEPROMs are designed and tested for applications requiring extended endurance. Inherent data
retention is greater than 100 years.

This section is a 4K-bit version of an industry standard
24C04 device.
NOVRAM Section
The X4C105 also contains a single nibble of NOVRAM,
with parallel access. This memory is completely isolated from the serial memory section. The NOVRAM is
intended to connect to the system memory bus and
uses standard CE, OE, and WE pins to control access.
A NOVRAM (or nonvolatile RAM) consists of an SRAM
part and an EEPROM part. The SRAM is saved to
EEPROM only when power fails and the EEPROM is
recalled to SRAM only on power up.
Output Ports
The X4C105 has four output only ports. These are
active whenever power is applied to the device. The
state of the output pin reflects the value in the respective SRAM bit. As such, these port pins provide a nonvolatile state. The conditions on the pins are restored
when power is re-applied to the device. This can be
valuable as a DIP switch replacement for controlling
the conditions of an ASIC or other system logic.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Serial Memory Section
The device contains a 4Kbit EEPROM memory array
with an internal address counter that allows it to be
read sequentially, through its entire address space
after receiving only 1 full address. The serial interface
includes a current address read that requires no input
address, but allows reading of the entire array starting
from the address plus one of the last read or write. The
address counter is also used for the write operation
where the user may enter up to a page of data (16
bytes) after supplying only 1 full address.
REV 1.0.1 6/14/01
– Internal circuitry switches to provide power for the
AUTOSTORE operation from the CAP pin so the
store operation can complete even in the event of a
catastrophic power failure. To insure this, it is recommended that a 47µF capacitor be used on the CAP
pin. The capacitor is continuously charged during
normal operation to provide the necessary charge to
complete the store operation. Other internal circuits
are turned off to minimize current consumption during the store operations.
— Communication to the device is interrupted and any
command is aborted. If a serial nonvolatile store is in
progress when power fails, the operation is completed and is followed by a NOVRAM AUTOSTORE
cycle.

SERIAL INTERFACE
Serial Interface Conventions
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
called the master and the device being controlled is
called the slave. The master always initiates data
transfers, and provides the clock for both transmit and
receive operations. Therefore, the devices in this family
operate as slaves in all applications.
Serial Clock and Data
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. See
Figure 2.

X4C105
Serial 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. See
Figure 3.
Serial 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. See Figure 2.
Serial 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 4.
The device will respond with an acknowledge after recognition of a start condition and if the correct device
identifier and select bits are contained in the slave
address byte. If a write operation is selected, the
device will respond with an acknowledge after the
receipt of each subsequent eight bit word. The device
will acknowledge all incoming data and address bytes,
except for the slave address byte when the device
identifier and/or select bits are incorrect or when the
device is busy, such as during a nonvolatile write.
In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of
data, release the SDA line, then 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. The device will terminate
further data transmissions if an acknowledge is not
detected. The master must then issue a stop condition
to return the device to standby mode and place the
device into a known state.

Page Write
The device is capable of a page write operation. It is
initiated in the same manner as the byte write operation; but instead of terminating the write cycle after the
first data byte is transferred, the master can transmit
an unlimited number of 8-bit bytes. After the receipt of
each byte, the device will respond with an acknowledge, and the 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 ‘0’ on the same page. This means that the
master can write 16 bytes to the page starting at any
location on that page. If the master begins writing at
location 10, and loads 12 bytes, then the first 5 bytes
are written to locations 10 through 15, and the last 7
bytes are written to locations 0 through 6. Afterwards,
the address counter would point to location 7 of the page
that was just written. See Figure 6. If the master supplies
more than 16 bytes of data, then new data over-writes
the previous data, one byte at a time.
SERIAL WRITE OPERATIONS
Byte Write
For a write operation, the device requires the slave
address byte and a word address byte. This gives the
master access to any one of the words in the array.
After receipt of the word address byte, the device
responds with an acknowledge, and awaits the next
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. During
this internal write cycle, the device inputs are disabled,
so the device will not respond to any requests from the
master. The SDA output is at high impedance. See Figure 5.
An attempted write to a protected block of memory will
suppress the acknowledge bit and the operation will
terminate.

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 7 for the address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.
Stops and Write Modes
Stop conditions that terminate write operations must
be sent by the master after sending at least 1 full data
byte plus the subsequent ACK signal. If a stop is
issued in the middle of a data byte, or before 1 full data
byte plus its associated ACK is sent, then the device
will reset itself without performing the write. The contents of the array will not be affected.

Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs during high voltage cycles
can be used to take advantage of the typical 5ms write
cycle time. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the master’s byte load operation, the
device initiates the internal non volatile write cycle.
Acknowledge polling can be initiated immediately. To
do this, the master issues a start condition followed by
the slave address byte for a write or read operation. If
the device is still busy with the high voltage cycle then
no ACK will be returned. If the device has completed
the write operation, an ACK will be returned and the
host can then proceed with the read or write operation.
Refer to the flow chart in Figure 8.

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.

Current Address Read
Internally the device contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word read incremented by one. Therefore, if the last read was to
address n, the next read operation would access data
from address n+1. On power up, the address of the
address counter is undefined, requiring a read or write
operation for initialization.
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 9 for
the address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.

Serial Read Operations
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 read, random
read, and sequential read.
NO
Issue STOP
Random Read
A 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, receives an acknowledge, then issues
the word address byte. After acknowledging receipts of
the word address byte, the master immediately issues
another start condition and the slave address byte with
the R/W bit set to one. This is followed by an acknowledge from the device and then by the eight bit word.
The master terminates the read operation by not
responding with an acknowledge and then issuing a
stop condition. Refer to Figure 10 for the address,
acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.

The device offers a similar operation, called “Set Current Address,” where the device ends the transmission
and issues a stop instead of the second start, shown
in Figure 10. The device goes into standby mode after
the stop and all bus activity will be ignored until a start
is detected. This operation loads the new address into
the address counter. The next current address read
operation will then read from the newly loaded
address. This operation could be useful if the master
knows the next address it needs to read, but is not
ready for the data.
Sequential Read
Sequential reads can be initiated as either a current
address read or random address 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.

through all page and column addresses, allowing the
entire memory contents to be serially 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 11 for the acknowledge and data transfer
sequence.
SERIAL DEVICE ADDRESSING
Slave Address Byte
Following a start condition, the master must output a
slave address byte. This byte consists of several parts:
– a device type identifier that is always ‘1010’.
– two bits that provide the device select bits.
– one bit that becomes the MSB of the address.
– one bit of the slave command byte is a R/W bit. The
R/W 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. A zero selects a
write operation. Refer to Figure 12.
