DESCRIPTION
These electrically erasable programmable
memory (EEPROM) devices are fabricated with
STMicroelectronics’ High Endurance, CMOS
technology. This guarantees an endurance
typically well above one million Erase/Write
cycles, with a data retention of 40 years. The
memories are organized as 8192x8 bits (M34D64)
and 4096x8 bits (M34D32), and operate down to

down to 1.8 V (for the -R version of each device).
The M34D64 and M34D32 are available in Plastic
Dual-in-Line and Plastic Small Outline packages.
These memory devices are compatible with the
I
2
C extended memory standard. This is a two wire
serial interface that uses a bi-directional data bus
and serial clock. The memory carries a built-in 4-
bit unique Device Type Identifier code (1010) in
accordance with the I
2
C bus definition.
The memory behaves as a slave device in the I
2
C
protocol, with all memory operations synchronized
by the serial clock. Read and Write operations are
initiated by a START condition, generated by the
bus master. The START condition is followed by a
Device Select Code and RW bit (as described in
Table 3), terminated by an acknowledge bit.
When writing data to the memory, the memory
inserts an acknowledge bit during the 9
th
bit time,
following the bus master’s 8-bit transmission.
When data is read by the bus master, the bus
master acknowledges the receipt of the data byte
in the same way. Data transfers are terminated by
a STOP condition after an Ack for WRITE, and
after a NoAck for READ.

Lock-Out Write Protect
In order to prevent data corruption and inadvertent
write operations during power up, a Power On
Reset (POR) circuit is included. The internal reset
is held active until the V

voltage has reached
the POR threshold value, and all operations are
disabled – the device will not respond to any
command. In the same way, when V
CC
drops from
the operating voltage, below the POR threshold
value, all operations are disabled and the device
will not respond to any command. A stable and

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input pin is used to strobe all data in and
out of the memory. In applications where this line
is used by slaves to synchronize the bus to a
slower clock, the master must have an open drain
output, and a pull-up resistor must be connected
from the SCL line to V
CC
. (Figure 3 indicates how
the value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated).
In most applications, though, this method of
synchronization is not employed, and so the pull-
up resistor is not necessary, provided that the
master has a push-pull (rather than open drain)
output.
Serial Data (SDA)
The SDA pin is bi-directional, and is used to
transfer data in or out of the memory. It 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 from the SDA
bus to V
CC
. (Figure 3 indicates how the value of
the pull-up resistor can be calculated).
Chip Enable (E2, E1, E0)
These chip enable inputs 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.
These inputs must be tied to V
CC
or V
SS
to
establish the device select code.
Write Control (WC)
The hardware Write Control pin (WC) is useful for
protecting the top quarter of the memory (as
shown in Figure 4) from inadvertent erase or write.
The Write Control signal is used to enable
(WC=V
IL
) or disable (WC=V
IH
) write instructions to
the top quarter of the memory area. When
unconnected, the WC input is internally read as
V
IL
, and write operations are allowed.
DEVICE OPERATION
The memory device supports the I
2
C protocol.
This is summarized in Figure 5, and is compared
with other serial bus protocols in Application Note
AN1001
. Any device that sends data on to the bus
is defined to be a transmitter, and any device that

reads the data to be a receiver. The device that
controls the data transfer is known as the master,
and the other as the slave. A data transfer can only
be initiated by the master, which will also provide
the serial clock for synchronization. The memory
device is always a slave device in all
communication.
Start Condition
START is identified by a high to low transition of
the SDA line while the clock, SCL, is stable in the
high state. A START condition must precede any
data transfer command. The memory device
continuously
monitors
(except
during
a
programming cycle) the SDA and SCL lines for a
START condition, and will not respond unless one
is given.
Stop Condition
STOP is identified by a low to high transition of the
SDA line while the clock SCL is stable in the high
state.
A
STOP
condition
terminates
communication between the memory device and
the bus master. A STOP condition at the end of a
Read command, after (and only after) a NoAck,
forces the memory device into its standby state. A
STOP condition at the end of a Write command
triggers the internal EEPROM write cycle.
Acknowledge Bit (ACK)
An acknowledge signal is used to indicate a
successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter,
whether it be master or slave, releases the SDA
bus after sending eight bits of data. During the 9
th
clock pulse period, the receiver pulls the SDA bus
low to acknowledge the receipt of the eight data
bits.
Data Input
During data input, the memory device samples the
SDA bus signal on the rising edge of the clock,
SCL. For correct device operation, the SDA signal
must be stable during the clock low-to-high

transition, and the data must change

Memory Addressing
To start communication between the bus master
and the slave memory, the master must initiate a
START condition. Following this, the master sends
the 8-bit byte, shown in Table 3, on the SDA bus
line (most significant bit first). This consists of the
7-bit Device Select Code, and the 1-bit Read/Write
Designator (RW). The Device Select Code is
further subdivided into: a 4-bit Device Type
Identifier, and a 3-bit Chip Enable “Address” (E2,
E1, E0).
To address the memory array, the 4-bit Device
Type Identifier is 1010b.
If all three chip enable inputs are connected, up to
eight memory devices can be connected on a
single I
2
C bus. Each one is given a unique 3-bit
code on its Chip Enable inputs. When the Device
Select Code is received on the SDA bus, the
memory only responds if the Chip Select Code is
the same as the pattern applied to its Chip Enable
pins.
The 8
th
bit is the RW bit. This is set to ‘1’ for read
and ‘0’ for write operations. If a match occurs on
the Device Select Code, the corresponding
memory gives an acknowledgment on the SDA
bus during the 9
th
bit time. If the memory does not
match the Device Select Code, it deselects itself
from the bus, and goes into stand-by mode.
There are two modes both for read and write.
These are summarized in Table 6 and described

later. A communication between the master and
the slave is ended with a STOP condition.
Each data byte in the memory has a 16-bit (two
byte wide) address. The Most Significant Byte
(Table 4) is sent first, followed by the Least
significant Byte (Table 5). Bits b15 to b0 form the
address of the byte in memory. Bits b15 to b13 are
treated as a Don’t Care bit on the M34D64
memory. Bits b15 to b12 are treated as Don’t Care
bits on the M34D32 memory.
Write Operations
Following a START condition the master sends a
Device Select Code with the RW bit set to ’0’, as
shown in Table 6. The memory acknowledges this,
and waits for two address bytes. The memory
responds to each address byte with an
acknowledge bit, and then waits for the data byte.
Writing to the memory may be inhibited if the WC
input pin is taken high. Any write command with
WC=1 (during a period of time from the START
condition until the end of the two address bytes)
will not modify the contents of the top quarter of
the memory.
