Pin Descriptions
DEVICE/PAGE ADDRESSES (A2, A1 and A0): The A2, A1 and A0 pins are device address
inputs that are hard wired for the AT24LC02 . Eight 2K devices may be addressed on a
single bus system (device addressing is discussed in detail under the Device Addressing
section).
The AT24LC04 uses the A2 and A1 inputs for hard wire addressing and a total of four 4K
devices may be addressed on a single bus system. The A0 pin is a no connect and can be
connected to ground.
The AT 24C08 only uses the A2 input for hardwire addressing and a total of two 8K devices
may be addressed on a single bus system. The A0 and A1 pins are no connects and can be
connected to ground.
The AT24LC16 does not use the device address pins, which limits the number of devices on
a single bus to one. The A0, A1 and A2 pins are no connects and can be connected to
ground.
SERIAL DATA (SDA): The SDA pin is bi-directional for serial data transfer. This pin is
open-drain driven and may be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or opencollector devices.
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL): The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into each
EEPROM device and negative edge clock data out of each device.
WRITE PROTECT (WP): The AT24LC02 / AT24LC04 / AT24LC08 / AT24LC16 has a Write
Protect pin that provides hardware data protection. The Write Protect pin allows normal
read/write operations when connected to ground (GND). When the Write Protect pin is
connected to VCC, the write protection feature is enabled and operates as shown in the
following Table 2.

Device Operation
CLOCK and DATA TRANSTTIONS:The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an with an
extemal device.Data on the SCL low time periods (see to Figure1on page5) .Data changes
during SCL high perio ds will indicate a start or condition as defined below
START CONDTTION:A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition which
must precede any other command (see to Figure 2 on page 5).
STOP CONDITION: A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition. After a
read sequence, the stop command will place the EEPROM in a standby power mode (see
Figure 2 on page 5).
ACKNOWLEDGE: All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the
EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a "0" to acknowledge that it has received
each word. This happens during the ninth clock cycle.
STANDBY MODE: The AT24LC02 / AT24LC04 / AT24LC08 / AT24LC16 features a
low-power standby mode which is enabled: (a) upon power-up and (b) after the receipt of the
STOP bit and the completion of any internal operations.
MEMORY RESET: After an interruption in protocol, power loss or system reset, any two-wire
part can be reset by following these steps:
1. Clock up to 9 cycles.
2. Look for SDA high in each cycle while SCL is high.
3. Create a start condition.

Device Addressing
The 2K, 4K, 8K and 16K EEPROM devices all require an 8-bit device address word following
a start condition to enable the chip for a read or write operation (see to Figure 4 on page 8).
The device address word consists of a mandatory "1", "0" sequence for the first four most
significant bits as shown. This is common to all the Serial EEPROM devices.
The next 3 bits are the A2, A1 and A0 device address bits for the 2K EEPROM. These 3 bits
must compare to their corresponding hardwired input pins.
The 4K EEPROM only uses the A2 and A1 device address bits with the third bit being a
memory page address bit. The two device address bits must compare to their corresponding
hardwired input pins.
The A0 pin is no connect.
The 8K EEPROM only uses the A2 device address bit with the next 2 bits being for memory
page addressing. The A2 bit must compare to its corresponding hard-wired input pin. The A1
and A0 pins are no connect.
The 16K does not use any device address bits but instead the 3 bits are used for memory
page addressing. These page addressing bits on the 4K, 8K and 16K devices should be
considered the most significant bits of the data word address which follows. The A0, A1 and
A2 pins are no connect.
The eighth bit of the device address is the read/write operation select bit. A read operation is
initiated if this bit is high and a write operation is initiated if this bit is low.
Upon a compare of the device address, the EEPROM will output a "0". If a compare is not
made, the chip will return to a standby state.
Write Operations
BYTE WRITE: A write operation requires an 8-bit data word address following the device
address word and acknowledgment. Upon receipt of this address, the EEPROM will again
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 output a "0" and the addressing device, such as a
microcontroller, must terminate the write sequence with a stop condition. At this time the
EEPROM enters an internally timed write cycle, tWR, to the nonvolatile memory. All inputs are
http://www.hgsemi.com.cn
5 / 14
2022 JUNE
AT24LC02/04/08/16
disabled during this write cycle and the EEPROM will not respond until the write is complete
(see Figure 5 on page 7).
PAGE WRITE: The 2K EEPROM is capable of an 8-byte page write, and the 4K, 8K and
16K devices are capable of 16-byte page writes.
A page write is initiated the same as a byte write, but the microcontroller does not send a
stop condition after the first data word is clocked in. Instead, after the EEPROM
acknowledges receipt of the first data word, the microcontroller can transmit up to seven (2K)
or fifteen (4K, 8K, 16K) more data words. The EEPROM will respond with a "0" after each
data word received. The microcontroller must terminate the page write sequence with a stop
condition (see Figure 6 on page 8).
The data word address lower three (2K) or four (4K, 8K, 16K) bits 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. When the word address, internally
generated, reaches the page boundary, the following byte is placed at the beginning of the
same page. If more than eight (2K) or sixteen (4K, 8K, 16K) data words are transmitted to
the EEPROM, the data word address will "roll over" and previous data will be overwritten.
ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING: Once the internally timed write cycle has started and the
EEPROM inputs are disabled, acknowledge polling can be initiated. This involves sending a
start condition followed by the device address word. The read/write bit is representative of
the operation desired.
Only if the internal write cycle has completed will the EEPROM respond with a "0", allowing
the read or write sequence to continue.
Read Operations
Read operations are initiated the same way as write operations with the exception that the
read/write select bit in the device address word is set to "1". There are three read operations:
current address read, random address read and sequential read.
CURRENT ADDRESS READ: The internal data word address counter maintains the last
address accessed during the last read or write operation, incremented by one. This address
stays valid between operations as long as the chip power is maintained. The address "roll
over" during read is from the last byte of the last memory page to the first byte of the first
page. The address "roll over" during write is from the last byte of the current page to the first
byte of the same page.
Once the device address with the read/write select bit set to "1" is clocked in and
acknowledged by the EEPROM, the current address data word is serially clocked out. The
microcontroller does not respond with an input "0" but does generate a following stop
condition (see Figure 7 on page 8).
RANDOM READ: A random read requires a "dummy" byte write sequence to load in the
http://www.hgsemi.com.cn

2022 JUNE
AT24LC02/04/08/16
data word address. Once the device address word and data word address are clocked in
and acknowledged by the EEPROM, the microcontroller must generate another start
condition. The microcontroller now initiates a current address read by sending a device
address with the read/write select bit high. The EEPROM acknowledges the device address
and serially clocks out the data word. The microcontroller does not respond with a "0" but
does generate a following stop condition (see Figure 8 on page 9).
SEQUENTIAL READ: Sequential reads are initiated by either a current address read or a
random address read. After the microcontroller receives a data word, it responds with an
acknowledge. As long as the EEPROM receives an acknowledge, it will continue to
increment the data word address and serially clock out sequential data words. When the
memory address limit is reached, the data word address will "roll over" and the sequential
read will continue. The sequential read operation is terminated when the microcontroller
Does not respond with a”0” but does generate a following stop condition(see Figure9 on
Page 9).
