Pin Functions
SCL (serial clock input) pin
The SCL pin is a serial clock input pin that processes signals at the rising and falling edges of SCL clock signals.
SDA (serial data input/output) pin
The SDA pin is used to transfer serial data to the input/output, and it consists of a signal input pin and n-channel
transistor open drain output pin.
Like the SCL pin, the SDA pin must be pulled up by a resistor to the VDD level and wired-ORed with an open drain
(or open collector) output device for use.
WP (write protect) pin
When the WP pin is high, write protection is enabled, and writing into the 32k bit memory areas is prohibited. When
the pin is low, writing is possible to all memory areas. Read operations can be performed regardless of the WP pin
status.

Functional Description
1 Start condition
When the SCL line is at the high level, the start condition is established by changing the SDA line from high to low.
The operation of the EEPROM as a slave starts in the start condition.
2 Stop condition
When the SCL line is at the high level, the stop condition is established by changing the SDA line from low to high.
When the device is set up for the read sequence, the read operation is suspended when the stop condition is received,
and the device is set to standby mode. When it is set up for the write sequence, the capture of the write data is ended
when the stop condition is received, and the EEPROM internal write operation is started.

5 Device addressing
For the purposes of communication, the master device in the system generates the start condition for the slave device.
Communication with a particular slave device is enabled by sending along the SDA bus the device address, which is
7-bits long, and the read/write command code, which is 1 bit long, immediately following the start condition.
The upper four bits of the device address are called the device code which, for this product, is fixed as “1010.” This
device has the upper 3-bit of the Slave Device address as the Slave address (S0, S1, S2), which fixed on the inside.
The value of Slave address are S0=0, S1=0, S2=0.
When the device code input from SDA and the slave addresses are compared with the product’s device code and slave
addresses that were set at the mounting stage and found to match, the product sends the acknowledge signal during
the ninth clock cycle period, and initiates the read or write operation in accordance with the read or write command
code. If they do not match, the EEPROM returns to standby mode. When a read operation is performed immediately
after the slave device has been switched, the random read command must be used.

6 EEPROM write operation
6-1. Byte writing
When the EEPROM receives the 7-bit device address and write command code "0" after the start condition, it
generates an acknowledge signal. After this, if it receives 4-bit don’t-care bits and a 12-bit word address, generates an
acknowledge signal, receives the 8-bit writing data, and generates an acknowledge signal when it receives the stop
condition, the rewrite operation of the EEPROM in the designated memory address will start. Rewriting is completed
in the tWC period after the stop condition. During an EEPROM rewrite operation, no input is accepted and no
acknowledge signals are generated.

6-2. Page writing
This product enables pages with up to 16 bytes to be written. The basic data transfer procedure is the same as for byte
writing: Following the start condition, the 7-bit device address and write command code “0,” word address (n), and
data (n) are input in this order while confirming acknowledge “0” every 9 bits. The page write mode is established if,
after data (n) is input, the write data (n+1) is input without inputting the stop condition. After this, the write data
equivalent to the largest page size can be received by a continuous process of repeating the receiving of the 8-bit
write data and generating the acknowledge signals.
At the point when the write data (n+1) has been input, the lower 4 bits (A0-A3) of the word addresses are
automatically incremented to form the (n+1) address. In this way, the write data can be successively input, and the
word address on the page is incremented each time the write data is input. If the write data exceeds 16 bytes or the
last address of the page is exceeded, the word address on the page is rolled over. Write data will be input into the
same address two or more times, but in such cases the write data that was input last will take effect. Finally, the
EEPROM internal write operation corresponding to the page size for which the write data is received starts from the
designated memory address when the stop condition is received.

6-3. Acknowledge polling
Acknowledge polling is used to find out when the EEPROM internal write operation is completed. When the stop
condition is received and the EEPROM starts rewriting, all operations are prohibited, and no response can be given to
the signals sent by the master device. Therefore, in order to find out when the EEPROM internal write operation is
completed, the start condition, device address and write command code are sent from the master device to the
EEPROM (slave device), and the response of the slave device is detected.
In other words, if the slave device does not send the acknowledge signal, it means that the internal write operation is
in progress; conversely, if it does send the acknowledge signal, it means that the internal write operation has been
completed.
When codes are sent by the master device during acknowledge polling, if a write or random read is to be performed
next, the write command "0" is executed. If a current read or sequential read is to be performed next, the read
command "1" is executed. After the write command "0" is executed and ACK="L" is confirmed, the start
condition/stop condition is entered to cancel the command and change to standby mode.

7 EEPROM read operations
7-1. Current address reading
The address equivalent to the memory address accessed last +1 is held as the internal address of the EEPROM for
both write* and read operations. Therefore, provided that the master device has recognized the position of the
EEPROM address pointer, data can be read from the memory address with the current address pointer without
specifying the word address.
As with writing, current address reading involves receiving the 7-bit device address and read command code “1”
following the start condition, at which time the EEPROM generates an acknowledge signal. After this, the 8-bit data
of the (n+1) address is output serially starting with the highest bits. After the 8 bits have been output, by not sending
an acknowledge signal and inputting the stop condition, the EEPROM completes the read operation and is set to
standby mode.
If the previous read address is the last address, the address for the current address reading is rolled over to become
address 0.
*: If the write data is 1 or more bytes but less than 16 bytes, the current address after page writing is the address
equivalent to the number of bytes to be written in the specified word address +1. If the write data is 16 or more bytes,
it is the designated word address. If the last address (A3-A0=1111b) on the page has been designated by byte write as
the word address, the first address (A3-A0=0000b) on the page serves as the internal address after writing.

7-2. Random read
Random read is a mode in which a selected memory address is specified and its data is read. The address is specified
by a dummy write input.
First, when the EEPROM receives the 7-bit device address and write command code "0" following the start condition,
it generates an acknowledge signal. It then receives 4-bit don’t-care bits and a 12-bit word address and generates an
acknowledge signal. These operations are used to load the word address to the address counter in the EEPROM.
Next, the start condition is input again, and the current read is performed. This generates the word address data that
was input using the dummy write input. After the data is generated, if the stop condition is input without the input of
an acknowledge signal, reading is completed, and standby mode is established.

7-3. Sequential read
In this mode, the data is read continuously, and sequential read operations can be performed with both current address
read and random read. If, after the 8-bit data has been output, acknowledge “0” is input and reading is continued
without issuing the stop condition, the address is incremented, and the data of the next address is output.
If acknowledge “0” continues to be input after the data has been output in this way, the data is successively output
while the address is incremented. When the last address is reached, it is rolled over to address 0, and the data
continues to be read. As with current address read and random read, the operation is completed by inputting the stop
condition without sending an acknowledge signal.

Application Notes
1) Software reset function
Software reset (start condition + 9 dummy clock cycles + start condition), shown in the figure below, is executed in
order to avoid erroneous operation after power-on and to reset while the command input sequence. During the
dummy clock input period, the SDA bus must be opened (set to high by a pull-up resistor). Since it is possible for
the ACK output and read data to be output from the EEPROM during the dummy clock period, forcibly entering H
will result in an overcurrent flow.
Note that this software reset function does not work during the internal write cycle.

2) Pull-up resistor of SDA pin
Due to the demands of the I2C bus protocol function, the SDA pin must be connected to a pull-up resistor (with a
resistance from several kΩ to several tens of kΩ) without fail. The appropriate value must be selected for this
resistance (RPU) on the basis of the VIL and IIL of the microcontroller and other devices controlling this product as
well as the VOL–IOL characteristics of the product. Generally, when the resistance is too high, the operating
frequency will be restricted; conversely, when it is too low, the operating current consumption will increase.
RPU maximum resistance
The maximum resistance must be set in such a way that the bus potential, which is determined by the sum total (IL)
of the input leaks of the devices connected to the SDA bus and by RPU, can completely satisfy the input high level
(VIH min) of the microcontroller and EEPROM. However, a resistance value that satisfies SDA rise time tR and fall
time tF must be set.
RPU maximum value = (VDD - VIH)/IL
Example: When VDD=2.5V and IL= 2μA
RPU maximum value = (2.5V − 2.5V × 0.8)/2μA = 250kΩ
RPU minimum value
A resistance corresponding to the low-level output
voltage (VOL max) of SANYO’s EEPROM must be set.
RPU minimum value = (VDD − VOL)/IOL

Example: When VDD=2.5V, VOL = 0.4V and IOL = 1mA
RPU minimum value = (2.5V − 0.4)/1mA = 2.1kΩ
Recommended RPU setting
RPU is set to strike a good balance between the operating frequency requirements and power consumption. If it is
assumed that the SDA load capacitance is 50pF and the SDA output data strobe time is 500ns, RPU will be about
RPU = 500ns/50pF = 10kΩ.
