Type
Name and Functions
Address Inputs
DEVICE/PAGE ADDRESSES (A1, A0):
The A1 and A0 pins are device address
inputs that are hardwired or left not
connected for hardware compatibility with
other 24LCxx devices. When the pins are
hardwired, as many as four 128K/256K
devices may be addressed on a single bus
system (device addressing is discussed in
detail under the Device Addressing
section). If the pins are left floating, the
A2, A1 and A0 pins will be internally pulled
down to GND if the capacitive coupling to
the circuit board VCC plane is 3 pF, recommends connecting
the address pins to GND.
Serial Data
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 open- collector devices.
Serial Clock Input
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
WRITE PROTECT (WP):
The write
protect input, when connected to GND,
allows normal write operations. When WP
is connected high to VCC, all write
operations to the memory are inhibited. If
the pin is left floating, the WP pin will be
internally pulled down to GND if the
capacitive coupling to the circuit board VCC
plane is 3 pF,
recommends connecting the pin to GND.
Switching WP to VCC prior to a write
operation creates a software write protect
function. The write protection feature is
enabled and operates as shown in the
following Table 1.

Functional Description
1. Memory Organization
HX24LC128B, 128K SERIAL EEPROM: The 128K is internally organized as 256 pages of
64 bytes each. Random word addressing requires a 14 bit- data word address.
HX24LC256B , 256K SERIAL EEPROM: The 256K is internally organized as 512 pages of
64 bytes each. Random word addressing requires a 15-bit data word address.
2. Device Operation
CLOCK and DATA TRANSITIONS: The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an external device.

Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (see to Figure 1 on page 5). Data
changes during SCL high periods will indicate a start or stop condition as defined below.
START CONDITION: 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 HX24LC128B / 256B 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.
3.
Look for SDA high in each cycle while SCL is high.
Create a start condition.

3. Device Addressing
The 128K/256K 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 5).
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 128K/256K uses the three device address bits A2, A1, A0 to allow as many as
eight devices on the same bus. These bits must compare to their corresponding
hardwired input pins. The A2, A1, and A0 pins use an internal proprietary circuit that
biases them to a logic low condition if the pins are allowed to float.
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.
NOISE PROTECTION: Special internal circuitry placed on the SDA and SCL pins
prevent small noise spikes from activating the device.
DATA SECURITY: The HX24LC128B / 256B has a hardware data protection scheme that
allows the user to write protect the entire memory when the WP pin is at VCC.
4. 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 disabled during this write cycle and the EEPROM will not
respond until the write is complete (see Figure 5 on page 8).
PAGE WRITE: The 128K/256K devices are capable of 64-byte page writes.
A page write is initiated the same as a byte write, but the microcontroller does not send a stop

2022 MAR
HX24LC128B/256B
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 63 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 six (128K/256K) 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 64 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.
5. 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 cur- rent 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 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 8).
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 Figure 9 on page 9)
