DEVICE OPERATION
Description
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.

START Bit
STOP Bit
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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 eight bits of address in the word address field, providing direct access to the whole 2048 x 8 array.
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.

Page Write
The X24C16 is capable of a 16 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.
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.

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
issuing a stop condition. Refer to Figure 8 for the
address, acknowledge and data transfer sequence.
s
READ OPERATIONS
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 bit word. The read operation is terminated by the
master by not responding with an acknowledge, and
issuing a stop condition. Refer to Figure 7 for the
sequence of address, acknowledge and data transfer.

Sequential Read
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 then issuing a stop condition.
A
C
K
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.
