The M24C02-A125 is compliant with the very high level of reliability defined by the Automotive standard AEC-Q100 grade 1. The device is accessed by a simple serial I2C compatible interface running up to 1 MHz. The memory array is based on advanced true EEPROM technology (electrically erasable programmable memory). The M24C02-A125 is a byte-alterable memory (256 × 8 bits) organized as 16 pages of 16 bytes in which the data integrity is significantly improved with an embedded Error Correction Code logic. The M24C02-A125 offers an additional Identification Page (16 bytes) in which the ST device identification can be read. This page can also be used to store sensitive application parameters which can be later permanently locked in read-only mode. Figure 1.

DocID025755 Rev 5 7/40 39 Signal description M24C02-A125 2 Signal description 2.1 Serial Clock (SCL) The signal applied on this input is used to strobe the data available on SDA(in) and to output the data on SDA(out). 2.2 Serial Data (SDA) SDA is an input/output used to transfer data in or out of the device. SDA(out) is an open drain output that may be wire-OR’ed with other open drain or open collector signals on the bus. A pull up resistor must be connected between SDA and VCC (Figure 10 and Figure 11 indicate how to calculate the value of the pull-up resistor). 2.3 Chip Enable (E2, E1, E0) (E2,E1,E0) input signals are used to set the value that is to be looked for on the three least significant bits (b3, b2, b1) of the 7-bit device select code (see Table 2). These inputs must be tied to VCC or VSS, as shown in Figure 3. When not connected (left floating), these inputs are read as low (0). Figure 3. Device select code 6## 6## -XXX -XXX %I %I 633 633 !I 2.4 Write Control (WC) This input signal is useful for protecting the entire contents of the memory from inadvertent write operations. Write operations are disabled to the entire memory array when Write Control (WC) is driven high. Write operations are enabled when Write Control (WC) is either driven low or left floating. When Write Control (WC) is driven high, device select and address bytes are acknowledged, Data bytes are not acknowledged. 8/40 DocID025755 Rev 5 M24C02-A125 2.5 Signal description VSS (ground) VSS is the reference for the VCC supply voltage. 2.6 Supply voltage (VCC) VCC is the supply voltage pin. DocID025755 Rev 5 9/40 39 Device operation 3 M24C02-A125 Device operation The device supports the I2C protocol (see Figure 4). The I2C bus is controlled by the bus master and the device is always a slave in all communications. The device (bus master or a slave) that sends data on to the bus is defined as a transmitter; the device (bus master or a slave) is defined as a receiver when reading the data. Figure 4.

A Start condition must precede any data transfer instruction. The device continuously monitors (except during a Write cycle) Serial Data (SDA) and Serial Clock (SCL) for a Start condition. 3.2 Stop condition Stop is identified by a rising edge of Serial Data (SDA) while Serial Clock (SCL) is stable and driven high. A Stop condition terminates communication between the device and the bus master. A Stop condition at the end of a Write instruction triggers the internal Write cycle. 3.3 Data input During data input, the device samples Serial Data (SDA) on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCL). For correct device operation, Serial Data (SDA) must be stable during the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCL), and the Serial Data (SDA) signal must change only when Serial Clock (SCL) is driven low. 3.4 Acknowledge bit (ACK) The acknowledge bit is used to indicate a successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter, whether it be bus master or slave device, releases Serial Data (SDA) after sending eight bits of data. During the 9th clock pulse period, the receiver pulls Serial Data (SDA) low to acknowledge the receipt of the eight data bits. DocID025755 Rev 5 11/40 39 Device operation 3.5 M24C02-A125 Device addressing To start communication between the bus master and the slave device, the bus master must initiate a Start condition. Following this, the bus master sends the device select code, as shown in Table 2. The device select code consists of a 4-bit device type identifier and a 3-bit Chip Enable address (E2, E1, E0). A device select code handling any value other than 1010b (to select the memory) or 1011b (to select the Identification page) is not acknowledged by the memory device. Up to eight memory devices can be connected on a single I2C bus. Each one is given a unique 3-bit code on the Chip Enable (E2, E1, E0) inputs. When the device select code is received, the memory device only responds if the Chip Enable Address is the same as the value decoded on the E2, E1, E0 inputs. The 8th bit is the Read/Write bit (RW). This bit is set to 1 for Read and 0 for Write operations. Table 2. Device select code Device type identifier (1) Chip Enable address RW b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0 When accessing the memory 1 0 1 0 E2 E1 E0 RW When accessing the identification page 1 0 1 1 E2 E1 E0 RW 1. The most significant bit, b7, is sent first. If the memory device does not match the device select code, it deselects itself from the bus, and enters the Standby mode. If the memory device matches the device select code, the corresponding memory device gives an acknowledgment on Serial Data (SDA) during the 9th SCL clock period. Once the memory device has acknowledged the device select code, the memory device waits for the master to send the address byte. The memory device responds to the address byte with an acknowledge bit. 12/40 DocID025755 Rev 5 M24C02-A125 Device operation Address byte Table 3.

The Identification page contains two fields: Note: • Device identification code: the first three bytes are programmed by STMicroelectronics with the Device identification code, as shown in Table 4. • Application parameters: the bytes after the Device identification code are available for application specific data. If the end application does not need to read the Device identification code, this field can be overwritten and used to store application-specific data. Once the application-specific data are written in the Identification page, the whole Identification page should be permanently locked in Read-only mode. The instructions Read, Write and Lock Identification Page are detailed in Section 4: Instructions. Table 4.

The device acknowledges this, as shown in Figure 5, and waits for the master to send the address byte with an acknowledge bit, and then waits for the data byte. When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after a data byte Ack bit (in the “10th bit” time slot), either at the end of a Byte Write or a Page Write, the internal Write cycle tW is then triggered. A Stop condition at any other time slot does not trigger the internal Write cycle. During the internal Write cycle, Serial Data (SDA) is disabled internally, and the device does not respond to any requests. After the successful completion of an internal Write cycle (tW), the device internal address counter is automatically incremented to point to the next byte after the last modified byte. If the Write Control input (WC) is driven High, the Write instruction is not executed and the accompanying data bytes are not acknowledged, as shown in Figure 6. DocID025755 Rev 5 15/40 39 Instructions 4.1.1 M24C02-A125 Byte Write After the device select code and the address byte, the bus master sends one data byte. If the addressed location is Write-protected, by Write Control (WC) being driven high, the device replies with NoAck on the received data byte, and the location is not modified (see Figure 6). If, instead, the addressed location is not Write-protected, the device replies with Ack. The bus master terminates the transfer by generating a Stop condition, as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5.

If more bytes are sent than will fit up to the end of the page, a condition known as “roll-over” occurs. In case of roll-over, the first bytes of the page are overwritten. Note: The bus master sends from 1 to N(1) bytes of data, each of which is acknowledged by the device if Write Control (WC) is low. If Write Control (WC) is high, the contents of the addressed memory location are not modified, and each data byte received by the device is not acknowledged, as shown in Figure 6. After each byte is transferred, the internal byte address counter is incremented. The transfer is terminated by the bus master generating a Stop condition. Figure 6.

It is written by issuing the Write Identification Page instruction. This instruction uses the same protocol and format as Page Write (into memory array), except for the following differences: • Device type identifier = 1011b • Most significant address bits A7/A4 are don't care, except for address bit A7 which must be “0”. Least significant address bits A3/A0 define the byte location inside the Identification page. If the Identification page is locked, the data bytes transferred during the Write Identification Page instruction are not acknowledged (NoAck). 4.1.4 Lock Identification Page The Lock Identification Page instruction (Lock ID) permanently locks the Identification page in Read-only mode. The Lock ID instruction is similar to Byte Write (into memory array) with the following specific conditions: 18/40 • Device type identifier = 1011b • Address bit A7 must be ‘1’; all other address bits are don't care • The data byte must be equal to the binary value xxxx xx1x, where x is don't care DocID025755 Rev 5 M24C02-A125 4.1.5 Instructions Minimizing Write delays by polling on ACK The maximum Write time (tw) is shown in AC characteristics tables in Section 8: DC and AC parameters, but the typical time is shorter. To make use of this, a polling sequence can be used by the bus master. The sequence, as shown in Figure 7, is: • Initial condition: a Write cycle is in progress. • Step 1: the bus master issues a Start condition followed by a device select code (the first byte of the new instruction). • Step 2: if the device is busy with the internal Write cycle, no Ack will be returned and the bus master goes back to Step 1. If the device has terminated the internal Write cycle, it responds with an Ack, indicating that the device is ready to receive the second part of the instruction (the first byte of this instruction having been sent during Step 1).
