The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into EEPROM device and negative edge clock data out of each device. Maximum clock rate is 400 kHz. Serial Input/Output Data (SDA) The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. The SDA pin needs to be pulled up by resistor as that pin is opendrain driven structure. Use proper resistor value for your system by considering VOL, IOL and the SDA pin capacitance. Except for a start condition and a stop condition which will be discussed later, the SDA transition needs to be completed during the SCL low period. Data Validity (SDA data change timing waveform) SCL SDA Data change Data change Note: High-to-low and low-to-high change of SDA should be done during the SCL low period. Device Address (A0, A1, A2) Eight devices can be wired for one common data bus line as maximum. Device address pins are used to distinguish each device and device address pins should be connected to VCC or VSS. When device address code provided from SDA pin matches corresponding hard-wired device address pins A0 to A2, that one device can be activated. Pin Connections for A0 to A2 Pin connection Memory size 256k bit Note: Max connect number 8 A2 VCC/VSS *1 A1 VCC/VSS *1 A0 VCC/VSS *1 Note 1. During floating, "VCC/VSS" are fixed to VSS. Write Protect (WP) When the Write Protect pin (WP) is high, the write protection feature is enabled and operates as shown in the following table. Also, acknowledgment "0" is outputted after inputting device address and memory address. After inputting write data, acknowledgment "1"(NO ACK) is outputted. When the WP is low, write operation for all memory arrays are allowed. The read operation is always activated irrespective of the WP pin status.

Stop Condition A low-to-high transition of the SDA with the SCL high is a stop condition. The stand-by operation starts after a read sequence by a stop condition. In the case of write operation, a stop condition terminates the write data inputs and place the device in a internally-timed write cycle to the memories. After the internally-timed write cycle which is specified as tWC, the device enters a standby mode (See write cycle timing). Start Condition and Stop Condition SCL SDA (in) Star t condition Stop condition Acknowledge All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from in 8-bit words. The receiver sends a zero to acknowledge that it has received each word. This happens during ninth clock cycle. The transmitter keeps bus open to receive acknowledgment from the receiver at the ninth clock. In the write operation, EEPROM sends a zero to acknowledge after receiving every 8-bit words. In the read operation, EEPROM sends a zero to acknowledge after receiving the device address word. After sending read data, the EEPROM waits acknowledgment by keeping bus open. If the EEPROM receives zero as an acknowledge, it sends read data of next address. If the EEPROM receives acknowledgment "1" (no acknowledgment) and a following stop condition, it stops the read operation and enters a stand-by mode. If the EEPROM receives neither acknowledgment "0" nor a stop condition, the EEPROM keeps bus open without sending read data.

The device address word consists of 4-bit device code, 3-bit device address code and 1-bit read/write(R/W) code. The most significant 4-bit of the device address word are used to distinguish device type and this EEPROM uses “1010” fixed code. The device address word is followed by the 3-bit device address code in the order of A2, A1, A0. The device address code selects one device out of all devices which are connected to the bus. This means that the device is selected if the inputted 3-bit device address code is equal to the corresponding hard-wired A2-A0 pin status. The eighth bit of the device address word is the read/write(R/W) bit. A write operation is initiated if this bit is low and a read operation is initiated if this bit is high. Upon a compare of the device address word, the EEPROM enters the read or write operation after outputting the zero as an acknowledge. The EEPROM turns to a stand-by state if the device code is not “1010” or device address code doesn’t coincide with status of the correspond hard-wired device address pins A0 to A2.

Then the EEPROM sends acknowledgment "0" at the ninth clock cycle. After these, the 256kbit EEPROM receives 2 sequence 8-bit memory address words. Upon receipt of this memory address, the EEPROM outputs acknowledgment "0" and receives a following 8-bit write data. After receipt of write data, the EEPROM outputs acknowledgment "0". If the EEPROM receives a stop condition, the EEPROM enters an internally-timed write cycle and terminates receipt of SCL, SDA inputs until completion of the write cycle. The EEPROM returns to a standby mode after completion of the write cycle. Byte Write Operation WP Device address 256k Star t Note: 1.

The page write is the same sequence as the byte write except for inputting the more write data. The page write is initiated by a start condition, device address word, memory address(n) and write data (Dn) with every ninth bit acknowledgment. The EEPROM enters the page write operation if the EEPROM receives more write data (Dn+1) instead of receiving a stop condition. The a0 to a5 address bits are automatically incremented upon receiving write data (Dn+1). The EEPROM can continue to receive write data up to 64 bytes. If the a0 to a5 address bits reaches the last address of the page, the a0 to a5 address bits will roll over to the first address of the same page and previous write data will be overwritten. Upon receiving a stop condition, the EEPROM stops receiving write data and enters internally-timed write cycle.

Then the EEPROM sends acknowledgment "0" at the ninth clock cycle. After these, the 256kbit EEPROM receives 2 sequence 8-bit memory address words. Upon receipt of this memory address, the EEPROM outputs acknowledgment "0". After receipt of 8-bit write data, the EEPROM outputs acknowledgment "1"(NO ACK).

This feature is initiated by the stop condition after inputting write data. This requires the 8-bit device address word following the start condition during a internally-timed write cycle. Acknowledge polling will operate when the R/W code = “0”. Acknowledgment “1” (no acknowledgment) shows the EEPROM is in a internally-timed write cycle and acknowledgment “0” shows that the internally-timed write cycle has completed. See Write Cycle Polling using ACK.

Read operations are initiated the same way as write operations with the exception of R/W = “1”. Current Address Read: The internal address counter maintains the last address accessed during the last read or write operation, with incremented by one. Current address read accesses the address kept by the internal address counter. After receiving a start condition and the device address word (R/W is “1”), the EEPROM outputs the 8-bit current address data from the most significant bit following acknowledgment “0”. If the EEPROM receives acknowledgment “1” (no acknowledgment) and a following stop condition, the EEPROM stops the read operation and is turned to a standby state. In case the EEPROM has accessed the last address of the last page at previous read operation, the current address will roll over and returns to zero address. In case the EEPROM has accessed the last address of the page at previous write operation, the current address will roll over within page addressing and returns to the first address in the same page. The current address is valid while power is on. The current address after power on will be indefinite. The random read operation described below is necessary to define the memory address.

A random read requires a dummy write to set read address. The EEPROM receives a start condition, device address word (R/W=0) and memory address 2 × 8-bit sequentially. The EEPROM outputs acknowledgment “0” after receiving memory address then enters a current address read with receiving a start condition. The EEPROM outputs the read data of the address which was defined in the dummy write operation. After receiving acknowledgment “1”(no acknowledgment) and a following stop condition, the EEPROM stops the random read operation and returns to a standby state.

Don't care bit 2. 2nd device address code (#) should be same as 1st (@). Sequential Read: Sequential reads are initiated by either a current address read or a random read. If the EEPROM receives acknowledgment “0” after 8-bit read data, the read address is incremented and the next 8-bit read data are coming out. This operation can be continued as long as the EEPROM receives acknowledgment “0”. The address will roll over and returns address zero if it reaches the last address of the last page. The sequential read can be continued after roll over. The sequential read is terminated if the EEPROM receives acknowledgment “1” (no acknowledgment) and a following stop condition.

To prevent this unintentional programming, this EEPROM has a power on reset function. Be careful of the notices described below in order for the power on reset function to operate correctly. • SCL and SDA should be fixed to VCC or VSS during VCC on/off. Low to high or high to low transition during VCC on/off may cause the trigger for the unintentional programming. • VCC should be turned off after the EEPROM is placed in a standby state. • VCC should be turned on from the ground level(VSS) in order for the EEPROM not to enter the unintentional programming mode. • VCC turn on rate should be slower than 2 µs/V. Noise Suppression Time This EEPROM have a noise suppression function at SCL and SDA inputs, that cut noise of width less than 100 ns. Be careful not to allow noise of width more than 100 ns.
