CAT24AA04, CAT24AA08
4-Kb and 8-Kb I2C CMOS Serial EEPROM
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
2
Standard and Fast I C Protocol Compatible
The CAT24AA04/24AA08 are 4-Kb and 8-Kb CMOS
Serial EEPROM devices internally organized as
512x8/1024x8 bits.
Supports 1MHz Clock Frequency
1.7 V to 5.5 V Supply Voltage Range
They feature a 16-byte page write buffer and support
100kHz, 400kHz and 1MHz I2C protocols.
16-Byte Page Write Buffer
Hardware Write Protection for entire memory
In contrast to the CAT24C04/24C08, the
CAT24AA04/24AA08 have no external address
pins, and are therefore suitable in applications
that require a single CAT24AA04/08 on the
I2C bus.

Notes:
(1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions outside of those listed in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating for extended periods may affect device performance and reliability.
(2) The DC input voltage on any pin should not be lower than -0.5V or higher than VCC + 0.5V. During transitions, the voltage on any pin may
undershoot to no less than -1.5V or overshoot to no more than VCC + 1.5V, for periods of less than 20ns.
(3) These parameters are tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter according to appropriate AEC-Q100
and JEDEC test methods.
(4) Page Mode @ 25°C
(5) When not driven, the WP pin is pulled down to GND internally. For improved noise immunity, the internal pull-down is relatively strong;
therefore the external driver must be able to supply the pull-down current when attempting to drive the input HIGH. To conserve power, as
the input level exceeds the trip point of the CMOS input buffer (~ 0.5 x VCC), the strong pull-down reverts to a weak current source.

CAT24AA04, CAT24AA08
POWER-ON RESET (POR)
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each CAT24AA04/08 incorporates Power-On Reset
(POR) circuitry which protects the internal logic
against powering up in the wrong state. The device
will power up into Standby mode after VCC exceeds
the POR trigger level and will power down into Reset
mode when VCC drops below the POR trigger level.
The CAT24AA04/08 supports the Inter-Integrated
Circuit (I2C) Bus protocol. The protocol relies on the
use of a Master device, which provides the clock and
directs bus traffic, and Slave devices which execute
requests. The CAT24AA04/08 operates as a Slave
device. Both Master and Slave can transmit or
receive, but only the Master can assign those roles.
This bi-directional POR behavior protects the
device against brown-out failure, following a
temporary loss of power.
I2C BUS PROTOCOL
The 2-wire I2C bus consists of two lines, SCL and
SDA, connected to the VCC supply via pull-up
resistors. The Master provides the clock to the SCL
line, and the Master and Slaves drive the SDA line. A
‘0’ is transmitted by pulling a line LOW and a ‘1’ by
releasing it HIGH. Data transfer may be initiated only
when the bus is not busy (see A.C. Characteristics).
During data transfer, SDA must remain stable while
SCL is HIGH.
START/STOP CONDITION
An SDA transition while SCL is HIGH creates a
START or STOP condition (Figure 1). A START is
generated by a HIGH to LOW transition, while a
STOP is generated by a LOW to HIGH transition. The
START acts like a wake-up call. Absent a START, no
Slave will respond to the Master. The STOP
completes all commands.
Device Addressing
The Master addresses a Slave by creating a START
condition and then broadcasting an 8-bit Slave
address (Figure 2). The four most significant bits of
the Slave address are 1010 (Ah). The next three bits
from the Slave address byte are assigned as shown in
Figure 2, where a9 and a8 are internal address
¯¯, instructs the Slave to either
bits.The last bit, R/W
provide (1) or accept (0) data, i.e. it specifies a Read
(1) or a Write (0) operation.
PIN DESCRIPTION
SCL: The Serial Clock input pin accepts the clock
signal generated by the Master.
SDA: The Serial Data I/O pin accepts input data and
delivers output data. In transmit mode, this pin is open
drain. Data is acquired on the positive edge, and
delivered on the negative edge of SCL.
Acknowledge
During the 9th clock cycle following every byte sent
onto the bus, the transmitter releases the SDA line,
allowing the receiver to respond. The receiver then
either acknowledges (ACK) by pulling SDA LOW, or
does not acknowledge (NoACK) by letting SDA stay
HIGH (Figure 3). Bus timing is illustrated in Figure 4.
WP: When the Write Protect input pin is forced HIGH
by an external source, all write operations are
inhibited. When the pin is not driven by an external
source, it is pulled LOW internally.

CAT24AA04, CAT24AA08
WRITE OPERATIONS
Byte Write
To write data to memory, the Master creates a START
condition on the bus and then broadcasts a Slave
¯¯ bit set to ‘0’. The Master then
address with the R/W
sends an address byte and a data byte and concludes
the session by creating a STOP condition on the bus.
The Slave responds with ACK after every byte sent by
the Master (Figure 5). The STOP starts the internal
Write cycle, and while this operation is in progress
(tWR), the SDA output is tri-stated and the Slave does
not acknowledge the Master (Figure 6).
Delivery State
The CAT24AA04/08 is shipped erased, i.e., all
bytes are FFh.
Page Write
The Byte Write operation can be expanded to Page
Write, by sending more than one data byte to the
Slave before issuing the STOP condition (Figure 7).
Up to 16 distinct data bytes can be loaded into the
internal Page Write Buffer starting at the address
provided by the Master. The page address is latched,
and as long as the Master keeps sending data, the
internal byte address is incremented up to the end of
page, where it then wraps around (within the page).
New data can therefore replace data loaded earlier.
Following the STOP, data loaded during the Page
Write session will be written to memory in a single
internal Write cycle (tWR).
Acknowledge Polling
The acknowledge (ACK) polling routine can be used
to take advantage of the typical write cycle time.
Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end
of the host’s write operation, the CAT24AA04/08
initiates the internal write cycle. The ACK polling can
be initiated immediately. This involves issuing the
start condition followed by the slave address for a
write operation. If the CAT24AA04/08 is still busy with
the write operation, NoACK will be returned. If the
CAT24AA04/08 device has completed the internal
write operation, an ACK will be returned and the host
can then proceed with the next read or write
operation.
Hardware Write Protection
With the WP pin held HIGH, the entire memory is
protected against Write operations. If the WP pin is
left floating or is grounded, it has no impact on the
Write operation. The state of the WP pin is strobed on
the last falling edge of SCL immediately preceding the
st
1 data byte (Figure 8). If the WP pin is HIGH during
the strobe interval, the Slave will not acknowledge the
data byte and the Write request will be rejected.

READ OPERATIONS
Immediate Read
To read data from memory, the Master creates a
START condition on the bus and then broadcasts a
¯¯ bit set to ‘1’. The Slave
Slave address with the R/W
responds with ACK and starts shifting out data
residing at the current address. After receiving the
data, the Master responds with NoACK and
terminates the session by creating a STOP condition
on the bus (Figure 9). The Slave then returns to
Standby mode.
Selective Read
To read data residing at a specific address, the
selected address must first be loaded into the internal
address register. This is done by starting a Byte Write
sequence, whereby the Master creates a START
condition, then broadcasts a Slave address with the
¯¯ bit set to ‘0’ and then sends an address byte to
R/W
the Slave. Rather than completing the Byte Write
sequence by sending data, the Master then creates a
START condition and broadcasts a Slave address
¯¯ bit set to ‘1’. The Slave responds with
with the R/W
ACK after every byte sent by the Master and then
sends out data residing at the selected address. After
receiving the data, the Master responds with NoACK
and then terminates the session by creating a STOP
condition on the bus (Figure 10).
Sequential Read
If, after receiving data sent by the Slave, the Master
responds with ACK, then the Slave will continue
transmitting until the Master responds with NoACK
followed by STOP (Figure 11). During Sequential
Read the internal byte address is automatically
incremented up to the end of memory, where it then
wraps around to the beginning of memory.
