A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition which must precede any other command (refer to Start and Stop Definition Timing diagram). · Serial data (SDA) · Stop condition The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. The pin is open drain driven and may be write-OR with any number of other open drain or open collector devices. A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition. After a read sequence, the stop command will place the EEPROM in a standby power mode (refer to Start and Stop Definition Timing Diagram). · A0, A1, A2 · Acknowledge The HT24LC16 does not use the device address pins which limits the number of devices on a single bus to one. The A0, A1 and A2 pins have no connection. All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a zero to acknowledge that it has received each word. This happens during the ninth clock cycle. · Write protect (WP) The HT24LC16 has a write protect pin that provides hardware data protection. The write protect pin allows normal read/write operations when the connection is grounded. When the write protect pin is connected to VCC, the write protection feature is enabled and operates as shown in the following table. WP Pin Status D a ta a llo w e d to c h a n g e S D A S C L Protect Array At VCC Full Array (16K) At VSS Normal Read/Write Operations S ta rt c o n d itio n A d d re s s o r a c k n o w le d g e v a lid S to p c o n d itio n Device addressing The 16K EEPROM devices require an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to enable the chip for a read or write operation. The device address word consist of a mandatory one, zero sequence for the first four most significant bits (refer to the diagram showing the Device Address). This is common to all the EEPROM device. Memory organization Internally organized with 2048 8-bit words, the 16K requires an 11-bit data word address for random word addressing. Device operations · Clock and data transition The 16K does not use any device address bits but instead the 3 bits are used for memory page addressing. These page addressing bits on the 16K devices should be considered the most significant bits of the data word address which follows. The A0, A1 and A2 pins have no connection. 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 data line while the clock line is high will be interpreted as a START or STOP condition. Rev. 1.10 3 March 29, 2002 HT24LC16 The 8th bit device address is the read/write operation select bit. A read operation is initiated if this bit is high and a write operation is initiated if this bit is low. · 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 the cycle is completed, then the device will return the ACK and the master can then proceed with the next read or write command. If the comparison of the device address succeed the EEPROM will output a zero at ACK bit. If not, the chip will return to a standby state. 1 0 1 0 A 2 A 1 A 0 R /W D e v ic e A d d r e s s Write operations · Byte write A write operation requires an 8-bit data word address following the device address word and acknowledgment. Upon receipt of this address, the EEPROM will again respond with a zero and then clock in the first 8-bit data word. After receiving the 8-bit data word, the EEPROM will output a zero and the addressing device, such as a microcontroller, must terminate the write sequence with a stop condition. At this time the EEPROM enters an internally-timed write cycle to the nonvolatile memory. All inputs are disabled during this write cycle and EEPROM will not respond until write is complete (refer to Byte write timing).

The 16K EEPROM is capable of a 16-byte page write. A page write is initiated in the same way as a byte write, but the microcontroller does not send a stop condition after the first data word is clocked in. Instead, after the EEPROM acknowledges the receipt of the first data word, the microcontroller can transmit up to 15 more data words. The EEPROM will respond with a z e ro a f t e r e a c h d a t a w o r d r e c e i v e d . T h e microcontroller must terminate the page write sequence with a stop condition (refer to Page write timing). The data word address lower four bits are internally incremented following the receipt of each data word. The higher data word address bits are not incremented, retaining the memory page row location.

The microcontroller must then generate another start condition. The microcontroller now initiates a current address read by sending a device address with the read/write select bit high. The EEPROM acknowledges the device address and serially clocks out the data word. The microcontroller does not respond with a zero but does generate a following stop condition (refer to Random read timing). The HT24LC16 can be used as a serial ROM when the WP pin is connected to VCC . Programming will be in h ib i t ed and t he ent i r e m em or y w i l l b e write-protected. · Read operations Read operations are initiated in the same way as write operations with the exception that the read/write select bit in the device address word is set to one. There are three read operations: current address read, random address read and sequential read. · Current address read · Sequential read The internal data word address counter maintains the last address accessed during the last read or write operation, incremented by one. This address stays valid between operations as long as the chip power is maintained. The address roll over during read from the last byte of the last memory page to the first byte of the first page. The address roll over during write from the last byte of the current page to the first byte of the same page. Once the device address with the read/write select bit set to one is clocked in and acknowledged by the EEPROM, the current address data word is serially clocked out. The microcontroller does not respond with an input zero but does generate a following stop condition (refer to Current read timing). Sequential reads are initiated by either a current address read or a random address read. After the microcontroller receives a data word, it responds with an acknowledgment. As long as the EEPROM receives an acknowledgment, it will continue to increment the data word address and serially clock out sequential data words. When the memory address limit is reached, the data word address will roll over and the sequential read continues. The sequential read operation is terminated when the microcontroller does not respond with a zero but does generate a following stop condition.
