24AAXX devices 128-bit through 512 Kbit Electrically Erased PROMs.
• Low-power CMOS technology: The devices are organized in blocks of x8-bit memory
with 2-wire serial interfaces. Low voltage design
- 1 mA active current typical
permits operation down to 1.8V (for 24AAXX devices),
- 1 μA standby current typical (I-temp) with standby and active currents of only 1 μA and 1
• 2-wire serial interface bus, I2C™ compatible mA, respectively. Devices 1 Kbit and larger have page
• Schmitt Trigger inputs for noise suppression write capability. Parts having functional address lines
• Output slope control to eliminate ground bounce allow connection of up to 8 devices on the same bus.

address pins must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’
before normal device operation can proceed.

3.2 Serial Data (SDA)

This is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and out of the device. It is an open drain
terminal. Therefore, the SDA bus requires a pull-up
resistor to VCC (typical 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2 kΩ for
400 kHz and 1 MHz).
For normal data transfer, SDA is allowed to change
only during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating the Start and Stop conditions.

4.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each 24XX device supports a bidirectional, 2-wire bus
and data transmission protocol. A device that sends
data onto the bus is defined as a transmitter, while a
device receiving data is defined as a receiver. The bus
has to be controlled by a master device which gener-
ates the Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access
and generates the Start and Stop conditions, while the
24XX works as slave. Both master and slave can
operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.

5.0 BUS CHARACTERISTICS
The following bus protocol has been defined:
• Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
• During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Changes in
the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a Start or Stop condition.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Figure 5-1).

5.1 Bus Not Busy (A)

Both data and clock lines remain high.

5.2 Start Data Transfer (B)

A high-to-low transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Start condition. All
commands must be preceded by a Start condition.

5.3 Stop Data Transfer (C)

A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Stop condition. All
operations must be ended with a Stop condition.

5.4 Data Valid (D)

The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a Start condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the high period of the clock signal.
The data on the line must be changed during the low
period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per
bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a Start condition and
terminated with a Stop condition. The number of data
bytes transferred between Start and Stop conditions is
determined by the master device.

ACROSS MULTIPLE DEVICES
Chip Select bits A2, A1 and A0 can be used to expand
the contiguous address space by adding up to eight
24XXs on the same bus. Software can use the three
address bits of the control byte as the three Most
Significant bits of the address byte. For example, in the
24XX32 devices, software can use A0 of the control
byte as address bit A12; A1 as address bit A13; and A2
as address bit A14 (Table 5-1). It is not possible to
sequentially read across device boundaries.

8.3 Sequential Read
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read except that after the 24XX transmits the
first data byte, the master issues an acknowledge as
opposed to the Stop condition used in a random read.
This acknowledge directs the 24XX to transmit the next
sequentially addressed data byte (Figure 8-4). Follow-
ing the final byte transmitted to the master, the master
will NOT generate an acknowledge but will generate a
Stop condition. To provide sequential reads, the 24XX
contains an internal address pointer which is incre-
mented by one at the completion of each operation.
This address pointer allows the entire memory contents
to be serially read during one operation. If the last
address byte in the array is acknowledged, the address
pointer will roll over to address 0x00.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.

• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.

• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.

• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.

• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
