Pin Functions
1. A0, A1 and A2 (Slave address input) pins
In the S-24C512C, to set the slave address, connect each pin of A0, A1, A2 to GND or VCC. Therefore the users can
set 8 types of slave address by a combination of A0, A1, A2 pins.
Comparing the slave address transmitted from the master device and one that you set, makes possible to select the
S-24C512C from other devices connected onto the bus.
Each A0, A1 and A2 pin has a pull-down resistor. In open, these pins have the status when they are connected to
GND.
2. SDA (Serial data input / output) pin
The SDA pin is used for the bi-directional transmission of serial data. This pin is a signal input pin, and an Nch open
drain output pin.
In use, generally, connect the SDA line to any other device which has the open-drain or open-collector output with
Wired-OR connection by pulling up to VCC by a resistor (Figure 7 shows the relation with an output load).
3. SCL (Serial clock input) pin
The SCL pin is used for the serial clock input. Since the signals are processed at a rising or falling edge of the SCL
clock, pay attention to the rising and falling time and comply with the specification.
4. WP (Write protect input) pin
The write protect is enabled by connecting the WP pin to VCC. When not using the write protect, connect this pin to
GND or set in open.

ECC Function (Error correction function)
S-24C512C Series adds 6 ECC bits for error correction to each 4 bytes with the same address of W15 to W2. The ECC
function can make correction and output correct data even if wrong data of 1 bit is in the 4 bytes when reading.
In addition, the S-24C512C Series rewrites the 4 bytes used as the rewriting minimum unit and 6 ECC bits if only 1 byte
data is input.
Therefore, it is recommended to rewrite data of each 4 bytes with the same address of W15 to W2 in order to get the
maximum endurance in the application in which the data is rewrote frequently.
Operation
1. Start condition
Start is identified by a high to low transition of the SDA line while the SCL line is stable at high.
Every operation begins from a start condition.
2. Stop condition
Stop is identified by a low to high transition of the SDA line while the SCL line is stable at high.
When a device receives a stop condition during a read sequence, the read operation is interrupted, and the device
enters standby mode.
When a device receives a stop condition during a write sequence, the reception of the write data is halted, and the S24C512C initiates a write cycle.

4. Acknowledge
The unit of data transmission is 8 bits. During the 9th clock cycle period the receiver on the bus pulls down the SDA
line to acknowledge the receipt of the 8-bit data.
When an internal write cycle is in progress, the S-24C512C does not generate an acknowledge.

5. Device addressing
To start communication, the master device on the system generates a start condition to the bus line. Next, the master
device sends 7-bit device address and a 1-bit read / write instruction code on to the SDA bus.
The upper 4 bits of the device address are the “Device Code”, and are fixed to “1010”.
In the S-24C512C, successive 3 bits are the “Slave Address”. These 3 bits are used to identify a device on the
system bus and is compared with the predetermined value which is defined by the address input pins (A2, A1, A0).
When the comparison result matches, the slave device responds with an acknowlede during the 9th clock cycle.

6. Write
6. 1 Byte write
When the master sends a 7-bit device address and a 1-bit read / write instruction code set to “0”, following a start
condition, the S-24C512C acknowledges it. The S-24C512C then receives a upper 8-bit word address and
responds with an acknowledge. And the S-24C512C receives a lower 8-bit word address and responds with an
acknowledge. After the S-24C512C receives 8-bit write data and responds with an acknowledge, it receives a
stop condition and that initiates the write cycle at the addressed memory.
During the write cycle all operations are forbidden and no acknowledge is generated.

6. 2 Page write
The page write mode allows up to 128 bytes to be written in a single write operation in the S-24C512C.
Its basic process to transmit data is as same as byte write, but it operates page write by sequentially receiving
8-bit write data as much data as the page size has.
When the S-24C512C receives a 7-bit device address and a 1-bit read / write instruction code set to “0”, following
a start condition, it generates an acknowledge. And the S-24C512C receives a upper 8-bit word address, and
responds with an acknowledge. Then the S-24C512C receives a lower 8-bit word address, and responds with an
acknowledge. After the S-24C512C receives 8-bit write data and responds with an acknowledge, it receives 8-bit
write data corresponding to the next word address, and generates an acknowledge. The S-24C512C repeats
reception of 8-bit write data and generation of acknowledge in succession. The S-24C512C can receive as many
write data as the maximum page size.
Receiving a stop condition initiates a write cycle of the area starting from the designated memory address and
having the page size equal to the received write data.

In the S-24C512C, the lower 7 bits of the word address are automatically incremented every time when the
S-24C512C receives 8-bit write data. If the size of the write data exceeds 128 bytes, the upper 9 bits of the word
address remain unchanged, and the lower 7 bits are rolled over and the last 128-byte data that the S-24C512C
received will be overwritten.

6. 3 Write protect
Write protect is available in the S-24C512C. When the WP pin is connected to the VCC, write operation to memory
area is inhibited.
When the WP pin is connected to GND or set in open, the write protect is invalid, and write operation in all
memory area is available.
Fix the level of the WP pin from start condition in the write operation (byte write, page write) until stop condition. If
the WP pin changes during this time, the address data being written at this time is not guaranteed. Regarding the
timing of write protect, refer to Figure 6.
In not using the write protect, connect the WP pin to GND or set it open. The write protect is valid in the range of
operation power supply voltage.
As seen in Figure 14 when the write protect is valid, the S-24C512C does not generate an acknowledgment
signal after data input.

6. 4 Acknowledge polling
Acknowledge polling is used to know the completion of the write cycle in the S-24C512C.
After the S-24C512C receives a stop condition and once starts the write cycle, all operations are inhibited and no
response is made to the signal transmitted by the master device.
Accordingly the master device can recognize the completion of the write cycle in the S-24C512C by detecting a
response from the slave device after transmitting the start condition, the device address and the read / write
instruction code to the S-24C512C (slave device).
That is, if the S-24C512C does not generate an acknowledgment signal, the write cycle is in progress and if the
S-24C512C generates an acknowledgment signal, the write cycle has been completed.
It is recommended to use the read instruction “1” as the read / write instruction code transmitted by the master
device.

7. Read
7. 1 Current address read
Either in writing or in reading the S-24C512C holds the last accessed memory address. The memory address is
maintained as long as the power voltage does not decrease less than the operating voltage.
The master device can read the data at the memory address of the current address pointer without assigning the
word address as a result, when it recognizes the position of the address pointer in the S-24C512C. This is called
“Current Address Read”.
In the following the address counter in the S-24C512C is assumed to be “n”.
When the S-24C512C receives a 7-bit device address and a 1-bit read / write instruction code set to “1” following
a start condition, it responds with an acknowledge.
Next, an 8-bit data at the address “n” is sent from the S-24C512C synchronous to the SCL clock. The address
counter is incremented and the content of the address counter becomes n1.
The master device outputs stop condition not an acknowledge, the reading of S-24C512C is ended.

Attention should be paid to the following point on the recognition of the address pointer in the S-24C512C.
In Read, the memory address counter in the S-24C512C is automatically incremented after output of the 8th bit of
the data. In Write, on the other hand, the upper bits of the memory address (the upper bits of the word address*1)
are left unchanged and are not incremented.

7. 2 Random read
Random read is used to read the data at an arbitrary memory address.
A dummy write is performed to load the memory address into the address counter.
When the S-24C512C receives a 7-bit device address and a 1-bit read / write instruction code set to “0” following
a start condition, it responds with an acknowledge.
The S-24C512C then receives a upper 8-bit word address and responds with an acknowledge. And the
S-24C512C receives a lower 8-bit word address and responds with an acknowledge. The memory address is
loaded to the address counter in the S-24C512C by these operations. Reception of write data does not follow in a
dummy write whereas reception of write data follows in byte write and in page write.
Since the memory address is loaded into the memory address counter by dummy write, the master device can
read the data starting from the arbitrary memory address by transmitting a new start condition and performing the
same operation in the current address read.
That is, when the S-24C512C receives a 7-bit device address and a 1-bit read / write instruction code set to “1”,
following a start condition signal, it responds with an acknowledge. Next, 8-bit data is transmitted from the
S-24C512C in synchronous to the SCL clock. The master device outputs stop condition not an acknowledge, the
reading of S-24C512C is ended.

7. 3 Sequential read
When the S-24C512C receives a 7-bit device address and a 1-bit read / write instruction code set to “1” following
a start condition both in current address read and random read, it responds with an acknowledge.
When an 8-bit data is output from the S-24C512C synchronous to the SCL clock, the address counter is
automatically incremented.
When the master device responds with an acknowledge, the data at the next memory address is transmitted.
Response with an acknowledge by the master device has the memory address counter in the S-24C512C
incremented and makes it possible to read data in succession. This is called “Sequential Read”.
The master device outputs stop condition not an acknowledge, the reading of S-24C512C is ended.
Data can be read in succession in the sequential read mode. When the memory address counter reaches the last
word address, it rolls over to the first word address.

Write Protect Function during the Low Power Supply Voltage
The S-24C512C has a built-in detection circuit which operates with the low power supply voltage, cancels Write when the
power supply voltage drops and power-on. Its detection and release voltages are 1.50 V typ. (Refer to Figure 19).
The S-24C512C cancels Write by detecting a low power supply voltage when it receives a stop condition.
In the data trasmission and the Write operation, data in the address written during the low power supply voltage is not
assurable.

Using S-24C512C
1. Adding a pull-up resistor to SDA I/O pin and SCL input pin
In consideration of I2C-bus protocol function, the SDA I/O pins should be connected with a pull-up resistor.
The S-24C512C cannot transmit normally without using a pull-up resistor.
In case that the SCL input pin of the S-24C512C is connected to the Nch open drain output pin of the master device,
connect the SCL pin with a pull-up resistor. As well, in case the SCL input pin of the S-24C512C is connected to the
tri-state output pin of the master device, connect the SCL pin with a pull-up resistor in order not to set it in high
impedance. This prevents the S-24C512C from error caused by an uncertain output (high impedance) from the
tri-state pin when resetting the master device during the voltage drop.
2. Equivalent circuit of input and I/O pin
The S-24C512C does not have a built-in pull-down or pull-up resistor for the SCL and SDA pins. The WP, A2, A1 and
A0 pins have a pull-down resistor. The SDA pin has an open-drain output. The followings are equivalent circuits of the
pins.

3. Phase adjustment during S-24C512C access
The S-24C512C does not have a pin to reset (the internal circuit). The users cannot forcibly reset it externally. If the
communication to the S-24C512C interrupted, the users need to handle it as you do for software.
In the S-24C512C, users are able to reset the internal circuit by inputting a start condition and a stop condition.
Although the reset signal is input to the master device, the S-24C512C’s internal circuit does not go in reset, but it
does by inputting a stop condition to the S-24C512C. The S-24C512C keeps the same status thus cannot do the next
operation. Especially, this case corresponds to that only the master device is reset when the power supply voltage
drops.
If the power supply voltage restored in this status, input the instruction after resetting (adjusting the phase with the
master device) the S-24C512C. How to reset is shown below.
[How to reset S-24C512C]
The S-24C512C is able to be reset by a start and stop instructions. When the S-24C512C is reading data “0” or is
outputting the acknowledgment signal, outputs “0” to the SDA line. In this status, the master device cannot output
an instruction to the SDA line. In this case, terminate the acknowledgment output operation or the Read operation,
and then input a start instruction. Figure 24 shows this procedure.
First, input a start condition. Then transmit 9 clocks (dummy clock) of SCL. During this time, the master device sets
the SDA line to “H”. By this operation, the S-24C512C interrupts the acknowledgment output operation or data
output, so input a start condition*1. When a start condition is input, the S-24C512C is reset. To make doubly sure,
input the stop condition to the S-24C512C. The normal operation is then possible.

*1. After 9 clocks (dummy clock), if the SCL clock continues to being output without inputting a start condition,
S-24C512C may go in the write operation when it receives a stop condition. To prevent this, input a start
condition after 9 clocks (dummy clock).
Remark
22
Regarding this reset procedure with dummy clock, it is recommended to perform at the system
initialization after applying the power supply voltage.

4. Acknowledge check
The I2C-bus protocol includes an acknowledge check function as a handshake function to prevent a communication
error. This function allows detection of a communication failure during data communication between the master
device and S-24C512C. This function is effective to prevent malfunction, so it is recommended to perform an
acknowledge check with the master device.
5. Built-in power-on-clear circuit
The S-24C512C has a built-in power-on-clear circuit that initializes itself at the same time during power-on.
Unsuccessful initialization may cause a malfunction. To operate the power-on-clear circuit normally, the following
conditions must be satisfied to raise the power supply voltage.
5. 1 Raising power supply voltage
Shown in Figure 25, raise the power supply voltage from 0.2 V max., within the time defined as tRISE which is the
time required to reach the power supply voltage to be set.
For example, if the power supply voltage is 5.0 V, tRISE = 200 ms seen in Figure 26. The power supply voltage
must be raised within 200 ms.

When initialization is successfully completed by the power-on-clear circuit, the S-24C512C enters the standby
status.
If the power-on-clear circuit does not operate;
The S-24C512C has not completed initialization, an instruction previously input is still valid or an instruction may
be inappropriately recognized. In this case, S-24C512C may perform the Write operation.
The voltage drops due to power off while the S-24C512C is being accessed. Even if the master device is reset
due to the low power voltage, the S-24C512C may malfunction unless the power-on-clear operation conditions of
S-24C512C are satisfied.
When not keeping to the power supply voltage rise time seen in Figure 26, adjust the phase (reset) to reset the
internal circuit in the S-24C512C normally.

6. Data hold time (tHD.DAT = 0 ns)
If SCL and SDA of the S-24C512C are changed at the same time, it is necessary to prevent a start / stop condition
from being mistakenly recognized due to the effect of noise.
The S-24C512C may error if it does not recognize a start / stop condition correctly during transmission.
It is recommended to set the delay time of 0.3 s minimum from a falling edge of SCL for the SDA.
This is to prevent S-24C512C from going in a start / stop condition due to the time lag caused by the load of the bus
line.
tHD.DAT = 0.3 s min.

7. SDA pin and SCL pin noise suppression time
The S-24C512C includes a built-in low-pass filter at the SDA and SCL pins to suppress noise. This means that if the
power supply voltage is 5.0 V, noise with a pulse width of 90 ns or less can be suppressed.
For details of the assurable value, refer to noise suppression time (tl) in Table 12.

9. Command cancel by start condition
By a start condition, users are able to cancel command which is being input. However, adjust the phase while the
S-24C512C is outputting “L” because users are not able to input a start condition. When users cancel the command,
there may be a case that the address will not be identified. Use random read for the read operation, not current
address read.
10. Precaution for use
Do not operate these ICs in excess of the absolute maximum ratings. Attention should be paid to the power supply
voltage, especially. The surge voltage which exceeds the maximum absolute ratings can cause latch-up and
malfunction. Perform operations after confirming the detailed operation condition in the data sheet.
Operations with moisture on the S-24C512C pins may occur malfunction by short-circuit between pins. Especially, in
occasions like picking the S-24C512C up from low temperature tank during the evaluation. Be sure that not remain
frost on the S-24C512C’s pins to prevent malfunction by short-circuit.
Also attention should be paid in using on environment, which is easy to dew for the same reason.
