PIN DESCRIPTIONS
(A) SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
The rising edge of this SCL input is to latch data into the EEPROM device while the falling edge of this
clock is to clock data out of the EEPROM device.
(B) DEVICE / CHIP SELECT ADDRESSES (A2, A1, A0)
These are the chip select input signals for the serial EEPROM devices. Typically, these signals are
hardwired to either VIH or VIL. If left unconnected, they are internally recognized as VIL.
(C) SERIAL DATA LINE (SDA)
SDA data line is a bi-directional signal for the serial devices. It is an open drain output signal and can be
wired-OR with other open-drain output devices.
(D) WRITE PROTECT (WP)
The FT24C32A devices have a WP pin to protect the whole EEPROM array from programming.
Programming operations are allowed if WP pin is left un-connected or input to VIL. Conversely all
programming functions are disabled if WP pin is connected to VIH or VCC. Read operations is not affected
by the WP pin’s input level.
MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The FT24C32A devices have 128 pages respectively. Since each page has 32 bytes, random word
addressing to FT24C32A will require 12 bits data word addresses respectively.
DEVICE OPERATION
(A) SERIAL CLOCK AND DATA TRANSITIONS
The SDA pin is typically pulled to high by an external resistor. Data is allowed to change only when
Serial clock SCL is at VIL. Any SDA signal transition may interpret as either a START or STOP condition
as described below.
(B) START CONDITION
With SCL VIH, a SDA transition from high to low is interpreted as a START condition. All valid
commands must begin with a START condition.
(C) STOP CONDITION
With SCL VIH, a SDA transition from low to high is interpreted as a STOP condition. All valid read or
write commands end with a STOP condition. The device goes into the STANDBY mode if it is after a
read command. A STOP condition after page or byte write command will trigger the chip into the
STANDBY mode after the self-timed internal programming finish (see Figure 1).
(D) ACKNOWLEDGE
The 2-wire protocol transmits address and data to and from the EEPROM in 8 bit words. The EEPROM
acknowledges the data or address by outputting a "0" after receiving each word. The ACKNOWLEDGE
signal occurs on the 9th serial clock after each word.

(E) STANDBY MODE
The EEPROM goes into low power STANDBY mode after a fresh power up, after receiving a STOP bit
in read mode, or after completing a self-time internal programming operation.

DEVICE ADDRESSING
The 2-wire serial bus protocol mandates an 8 bits device address word after a START bit condition to invoke
a valid read or write command. The first four most significant bits of the device address must be 1010,
which is common to all serial EEPROM devices. The next three bits are device address bits. These three
device address bits (5th, 6th and 7th) are to match with the external chip select/address pin states. If a match
is made, the EEPROM device outputs an ACKNOWLEDGE signal after the 8th read/write bit, otherwise the
chip will go into STANDBY mode. However, matching may not be needed for some or all device address
bits (5th, 6th and 7th) as noted below. The last or 8th bit is a read/write command bit. If the 8th bit is at VIH
then the chip goes into read mode. If a “0” is detected, the device enters programming mode.

WRITE OPERATIONS
(A) BYTE WRITE
A write operation requires two 8-bit data word address following the device address word and
ACKNOWLEDGE signal. Upon receipt of this address, the EEPROM will respond with a “0” and then
clock in the first 8-bit data word. Following receipt of the 8-bit data word, the EEPROM will again output
a “0”. The addressing device, such as a microcontroller, must terminate the write sequence with a
STOP condition. At this time the EEPROM enters into an internally-timed write cycle state. All inputs
are disabled during this write cycle and the EEPROM will not respond until the writing is completed
(figure 3).
(B) PAGE WRITE
The 32K EEPROM are capable of 32-byte page write.
A page write is initiated the same way as a byte write, but the microcontroller does not send a STOP
condition after the first data word is clocked in. The microcontroller can transmit up to 31 more data
words after the EEPROM acknowledges receipt of the first data word. The EEPROM will respond with a
“0” after each data word is received. The microcontroller must terminate the page write sequence with a
STOP condition (see Figure 4).
The lower five bits of the data word address are internally incremented following the receipt of each data
word. The higher data word address bits are not incremented, retaining the memory page row location.
If more than 32 data words are transmitted to the EEPROM, the data word address will “roll over” and
the previous data will be overwritten.
(C) ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
ACKNOWLEDGE polling may be used to poll the programming status during a self-timed internal
programming. By issuing a valid read or write address command, the EEPROM will not acknowledge at
the 9th clock cycle if the device is still in the self-timed programming mode. However, if the programming
completes and the chip has returned to the STANDBY mode, the device will return a valid
ACKNOWLEDGE signal at the 9th clock cycle.
READ OPERATIONS
The read command is similar to the write command except the 8th read/write bit in address word is set to “1”.
The three read operation modes are described as follows:
(A) CURRENT ADDRESS READ
The EEPROM internal address word counter maintains the last read or write address plus one if the
power supply to the device has not been cut off. To initiate a current address read operation, the microcontroller issues a START bit and a valid device address word with the read/write bit (8th) set to “1”. The
EEPROM will response with an ACKNOWLEDGE signal on the 9th serial clock cycle. An 8-bit data word
will then be serially clocked out. The internal address word counter will then automatically increase by
one. For current address read the micro-controller will not issue an ACKNOWLEDGE signal on the 18th
clock cycle. The micro-controller issues a valid STOP bit after the 18th clock cycle to terminate the read
operation. The device then returns to STANDBY mode (see Figure 5).
(B) SEQUENTIAL READ
The sequential read is very similar to current address read. The micro-controller issues a START bit
and a valid device address word with read/write bit (8th) set to “1”. The EEPROM will response with an
ACKNOWLEDGE signal on the 9th serial clock cycle. An 8-bit data word will then be serially clocked out.
Meanwhile the internally address word counter will then automatically increase by one.

DS24C32-A0--page5

24C32A
Unlike current address read, the micro-controller sends an ACKNOWLEDGE signal on the 18th clock
cycle signaling the EEPROM device that it wants another byte of data. Upon receiving the
ACKNOWLEDGE signal, the EEPROM will serially clocked out an 8-bit data word based on the
incremented internal address counter. If the micro-controller needs another data, it sends out an
ACKNOWLEDGE signal on the 27th clock cycle. Another 8-bit data word will then be serially clocked
out. This sequential read continues as long as the micro-controller sends an ACKNOWLEDGE signal
after receiving a new data word. When the internal address counter reaches its maximum valid address,
it rolls over to the beginning of the memory array address. Similar to current address read, the microcontroller can terminate the sequential read by not acknowledging the last data word received, but
sending a STOP bit afterwards instead (figure 6).
(C) RANDOM READ
Random read is a two-steps process. The first step is to initialize the internal address counter with a
target read address using a “dummy write” instruction. The second step is a current address read.
To initialize the internal address counter with a target read address, the micro-controller issues a START
bit first, follows by a valid device address with the read/write bit (8th) set to “0”. The EEPROM will then
acknowledge. The micro-controller will then send two address words. Again the EEPROM will
acknowledge. Instead of sending a valid written data to the EEPROM, the micro-controller performs a
current address read instruction to read the data. Note that once a START bit is issued, the EEPROM
will reset the internal programming process and continue to execute the new instruction - which is to
read the current address (figure 7).
