The device features a serial interface and software protocol allowing operation on a simple two wire bus. Two device select inputs (S0–S1) allow up to 4 devices to share a common two wire bus. These pins have internal pull downs, so they are read as LOW if not connected. A WP pin, when pulled HIGH prevents any nonvolatile writes to the array. When not connected WP is pulled LOW, so the device is not normally protected. Xicor EEPROMs are designed and tested for applications requiring extended endurance. Inherent data retention is greater than 100 years.

Serial Data (SDA) SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the device. It is an open drain output and may be wire-ORed with any number of open drain or open collector outputs. An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up resistor. For selecting typical values, refer to the Pullup resistor selection graph at the end of this data sheet. Symbol Description S0, S1 Device Select Inputs SDA Serial Data SCL Serial Clock WP Write Protect VSS Ground VCC Supply Voltage NC No Connect PIN CONFIGURATION 8-Lead XBGA: Top View Device Select (S0, S1) 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, Protection is disabled and the device operates normally. When this input is held HIGH, the device is protected, preventing changes to any and all locations in the EEPROM array.

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. 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. 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. Figure 1. Data Validity SCL SDA Data Stable Data Change Figure 2. Definition of Start and Stop SCL SDA Start Bit Stop Bit 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 1.1.3 10/23/00 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. www.xicor.com Characteristics subject to change without notice. 3 of 17 X24256 Figure 3. Acknowledge Response From Receiver SCL from Master 1 8 9 Data Output from Transmitter Data Output from Receiver Start Acknowledge DEVICE ADDRESSING Figure 4. Device Addressing 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 bit is a “0”. The following 2 bits are the device select bits ‘0’, S1 and S0. 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. On power up the internal address is undefined, so the first read or write operation must supply an address.

The master must supply the two Word Address Bytes as shown in Figure 4. 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. 1 Device Select A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 D1 D0 Word Address Byte 0 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 Data Byte Characteristics subject to change without notice. 4 of 17 X24256 WRITE OPERATIONS 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. Page Write The device is capable of a 64 byte page write operation. It is initiated in the same manner as the byte write operation; but instead of terminating the write operation 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. 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. Figure 5.

If a stop is issued in the middle of a data byte, or before 1 full data byte + ACK is sent, then the device will reset itself without performing the write. The contents of the array will not be affected. Figure 7. Acknowledge Polling Sequence Acknowledge Polling The maximum write cycle time can be significantly reduced using Acknowledge Polling. To initiate Acknowledge Polling, 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 internal write cycle, then no ACK will be returned. If the device has completed the internal write operation, an ACK will be returned and the host can then proceed with the read or write operation. Refer to Figure 7.

No Yes Continue Normal Read or Write Command Sequence Issue Stop Proceed REV 1.1.3 10/23/00 www.xicor.com Characteristics subject to change without notice. 6 of 17 X24256 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 Reads, Random Reads, and Sequential Reads. 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. 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. 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. Figure 8. Current Address Read Sequence Signals from the Master SDA Bus Signals from the Slave REV 1.1.3 10/23/00 S T A R T Slave Address S T O P S 1 0 1 0 0 S1 S0 1 P A C K Data 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. 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. 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. www.xicor.com Characteristics subject to change without notice. 7 of 17 X24256 Figure 9.
