J CAT24FC256 SDA: Serial Data/Address FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA pin is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed with other open drain or open collector outputs. The CAT24FC256 supports the I2C Bus data transmission protocol. This Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus protocol defines any device that sends data to the bus to be a transmitter and any device receiving data to be a receiver. The transfer is controlled by the Master device which generates the serial clock and all START and STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24FC256 operates as a Slave device. Both the Master device and Slave device can operate as either transmitter or receiver, but the Master device controls which mode is activated. WP: Write Protect This input, when tied to GND, allows write operations to the entire memory. When this pin is tied to Vcc, the entire memory is write protected. When left floating, memory is unprotected. A0, A1, A2: Device Address Inputs PIN DESCRIPTIONS These pins are hardwired or left connected. When hardwired, up to eight CAT24FC256's may be addressed on a single bus system. When the pins are left unconnected, the default values are zero. SCL: Serial Clock The serial clock input clocks all data transferred into or out of the device. Figure 1.

J STOP BIT 4 ADDRESS CAT24FC256 I2C BUS PROTOCOL as many as eight devices on the same bus. These bits must compare to their hardwired input pins. The last bit of the slave address specifies whether a Read or Write operation is to be performed. When this bit is set to 1, a Read operation is selected, and when set to 0, a Write operation is selected. The features of the I2C bus protocol are defined as follows: (1) Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. (2) During a data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is high. Any changes in the data line while the clock line is high will be interpreted as a START or STOP condition. After the Master sends a START condition and the slave address byte, the CAT24FC256 monitors the bus and responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when its address matches the transmitted slave address. The CAT24FC256 then performs a Read or Write operation depending on the state of the R/W bit. START Condition The START Condition precedes all commands to the device, and is defined as a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The CAT24FC256 monitors the SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this condition is met. Acknowledge After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is required to generate an acknowledge. The Acknowledging device pulls down the SDA line during the ninth clock cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits of data. STOP Condition A LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH determines the STOP condition. All operations must end with a STOP condition. The CAT24FC256 responds with an acknowledge after receiving a START condition and its slave address. If the device has been selected along with a write operation, it responds with an acknowledge after receiving each 8bit byte. DEVICE ADDRESSING The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a START condition. The Master sends the address of the particular slave device it is requesting. The four most significant bits of the 8-bit slave address are fixed as 1010 (Fig. 5). The CAT24FC256 uses the next three bits as address bits. The address bits A2, A1 and A0 allow When the CAT24FC256 begins a READ mode it transmits 8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and monitors the line for an acknowledge. Once it receives this acknowledge, the CAT24FC256 will continue to transmit Figure 4.

J CAT24FC256 data. If no acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device terminates data transmission and waits for a STOP condition. If the Master transmits more than 64 bytes before sending the STOP condition, the address counter ‘wraps around’, and previously transmitted data will be overwritten. WRITE OPERATIONS When all 64 bytes are received, and the STOP condition has been sent by the Master, the internal programming cycle begins. At this point, all received data is written to the CAT24FC256 in a single write cycle. Byte Write In the Byte Write mode, the Master device sends the START condition and the slave address information (with the R/W bit set to zero) to the Slave device. After the Slave generates an acknowledge, the Master sends two 8-bit address words that are to be written into the address pointers of the CAT24FC256. After receiving another acknowledge from the Slave, the Master device transmits the data to be written into the addressed memory location. The CAT24FC256 acknowledges once more and the Master generates the STOP condition. At this time, the device begins an internal programming cycle to nonvolatile memory. While the cycle is in progress, the device will not respond to any request from the Master device. Acknowledge Polling Disabling of the inputs can be used to take advantage of the typical write cycle time. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the host's write operation, CAT24FC256 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 CAT24FC256 is still busy with the write operation, no ACK will be returned. If CAT24FC256 has completed the write operation, an ACK will be returned and the host can then proceed with the next read or write operation. Page Write WRITE PROTECTION The CAT24FC256 writes up to 64 bytes of data, in a single write cycle, using the Page Write operation. The page write operation is initiated in the same manner as the byte write operation, however instead of terminating after the initial byte is transmitted, the Master is allowed to send up to 63 additional bytes. After each byte has been transmitted, CAT24FC256 will respond with an acknowledge, and internally increment the six low order address bits by one. The high order bits remain unchanged. The Write Protection feature allows the user to protect against inadvertent programming of the memory array. If the WP pin is tied to VCC, the entire memory array is protected and becomes read only. The CAT24FC256 will accept both slave and byte addresses, but the memory location accessed is protected from programming by the device’s failure to send an acknowledge after the first byte of data is received.

Three different READ operations are possible: Immediate/Current Address READ, Selective/Random READ and Sequential READ. slave address and byte addresses of the location it wishes to read. After CAT24FC256 acknowledges, the Master device sends the START condition and the slave address again, this time with the R/W bit set to one. The CAT24FC256 then responds with its acknowledge and sends the 8-bit byte requested. The master device does not send an acknowledge but will generate a STOP condition. Immediate/Current Address Read Sequential Read The CAT24FC256’s address counter contains the address of the last byte accessed, incremented by one. In other words, if the last READ or WRITE access was to address N, the READ immediately following would access data from address N+1. If N=E (where E=32767), then the counter will ‘wrap around’ to address 0 and continue to clock out data. After the CAT24FC256 receives its slave address information (with the R/W bit set to one), it issues an acknowledge, then transmits the 8 bit byte requested. The master device does not send an acknowledge, but will generate a STOP condition. The Sequential READ operation can be initiated by either the Immediate Address READ or Selective READ operations. After the CAT24FC256 sends the initial 8-bit byte requested, the Master will respond with an acknowledge which tells the device it requires more data. The CAT24FC256 will continue to output an 8-bit byte for each acknowledge sent by the Master. The operation will terminate when the Master fails to respond with an acknowledge, thus sending the STOP condition. READ OPERATIONS The data being transmitted from CAT24FC256 is outputted sequentially with data from address N followed by data from address N+1. The READ operation address counter increments all of the CAT24FC256 address bits so that the entire memory array can be read during one operation. If more than E (where E=32767) bytes are read out, the counter will ‘wrap around’ and continue to clock out data bytes. Selective/Random Read Selective/Random READ operations allow the Master device to select at random any memory location for a READ operation. The Master device first performs a ‘dummy’ write operation by sending the START condition, Figure 8.
