DEVICE OPERATION
Clock and Data Conventions
The X24C16 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 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 X24C16 will be considered a slave in all
applications.
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 X24C16 continuously monitors the SDA and
SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to
any command until this condition has been met.

X24C16
Stop Condition
The X24C16 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 X24C16 will respond with an acknowledge
after the receipt of each subsequent eight bit word.
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 by the
X24C16 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.
In the read mode the X24C16 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 X24C16
will continue to transmit data. If an acknowledge is not
detected, the X24C16 will terminate further data transmissions. The master must then issue a stop condition
to return the X24C16 to the standby power mode and
place the device into a known state.
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.

eight bits of address in the word address field, providing
direct access to the whole 2048 x 8 array.
Following a start condition the master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing. The most significant
four bits of the slave address are the device type identifier
(see Figure 4). For the X24C16 this is fixed as 1010[B].
Following the start condition, the X24C16 monitors the
SDA bus comparing the slave address being transmitted with its slave address (device type). Upon a correct
compare the X24C16 outputs an acknowledge on the
SDA line. Depending on the state of the R/W bit, the
X24C16 will execute a read or write operation.

WRITE OPERATIONS
Byte Write
For a write operation, the X24C16 requires a second
address field. This address field is the word address,
comprised of eight bits, providing access to any one of the
2048 words in the array. Upon receipt of the word address
the X24C16 responds with an acknowledge, and awaits
the next eight bits of data, again responding with an
acknowledge. The master then terminates the transfer by
generating a stop condition, at which time the X24C16
begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory.
While the internal write cycle is in progress the X24C16
inputs are disabled, and the device will not respond to any
requests from the master. Refer to Figure 5 for the
address, acknowledge and data transfer sequence.

3840 FHD F09
The next three bits of the slave address field are the bank
select bits. They are used by the host to toggle between
the eight 256 x 8 banks of memory. These are, in effect,
the most significant bits for the word address.
The next three bits of the slave address are an extension
of the array’s address and are concatenated with the

Page Write
Flow 1. ACK Polling Sequence
The X24C16 is capable of a sixteen byte 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 word is transferred, the master can
transmit up to fifteen more words. After the receipt of
each word, the X24C16 will respond with an acknowledge.
WRITE OPERATION
COMPLETED
ENTER ACK POLLING
ISSUE
START
After the receipt of each word, the four low order address
bits are internally incremented by one. The high order
seven bits of the address remain constant. If the master
should transmit more than sixteen words prior to generating the stop condition, the address counter will “roll
over” and the previously written data will be overwritten.
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.

Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs can be used to take advantage of the typical 5 ms write cycle time. Once the stop
condition is issued to indicate the end of the host’s write
operation the X24C16 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 the X24C16 is still busy with the
write operation no ACK will be returned. If the X24C16
has completed the write operation an ACK will be
returned and the host can then proceed with the next
read or write operation. Refer to Flow 1.

bit word. The read operation is terminated by the master;
by not responding with an acknowledge and by issuing
a stop condition. Refer to Figure 7 for the sequence of
address, acknowledge and data transfer.
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 is set to a one. There are three basic read
operations: current address read, random read and
sequential read.
Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access any
memory location in a random manner. Prior to issuing
the slave address 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
followed by the word address it is to read. After the word
address acknowledge, the master immediately reissues
the start condition and the slave address with the R/W bit
set to one. This will be followed by an acknowledge from
the X24C16 and then by the eight bit word. The read
operation is terminated by the master; by not responding
with an acknowledge and by issuing 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.
Current Address Read
Internally the X24C16 contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word accessed,
incremented by one. Therefore, if the last access (either
a read or write) was to address n, the next read operation
would access data from address n + 1. Upon receipt of
the slave address with the R/W bit set to one, the
X24C16 issues an acknowledge and transmits the eight

Sequential Read
The data output is sequential, with the data from address
n followed by the data from n + 1. The address counter
for read operations increments all address bits, allowing
the entire memory contents to be serially read during
one operation. At the end of the address space (address
2047), the counter “rolls over” to 0 and the X24C16
continues to output data for each acknowledge received. Refer to Figure 9 for the address, acknowledge
and data transfer sequence.
Sequential reads can be initiated as either a current
address read or random access read. The first word is
transmitted as with the other read modes, however, the
master now responds with an acknowledge, indicating it
requires additional data. The X24C16 continues to output data for each acknowledge received. The read
operation is terminated by the master; by not responding
with an acknowledge and by issuing a stop condition.
