The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal program/erase cycle. During
the write cycle, the bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high, and the device does not respond to its slave
address.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24WC128 supports the I
2
C Bus data transmis-
sion protocol. This Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus protocol
defines any device that sends data to the bus to be a
transmitter and any device receiving data to be a re-
ceiver. The transfer is controlled by the Master device
which generates the serial clock and all START and
STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24WC128
operates as a Slave device. Both the Master device and
Slave device can operate as either transmitter or re-
ceiver, but the Master device controls which mode is
activated.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL:
Serial Clock
The serial clock input clocks all data transferred into or
out of the device.
SDA:
Serial Data/Address
The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA pin
is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed with
other open drain or open collector outputs.
WP:
Write Protect
This input, when tied to GND, allows write operations to
the entire memory. When this pin is tied to Vcc, the
entire memory is write protected. When left floating,
memory is unprotected.
I
2
C BUS PROTOCOL
The features of the I
2
C bus protocol are defined as
follows:
(1) Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
(2) During a data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Any changes
in the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.
START Condition
The START Condition precedes all commands to the
device, and is defined as a HIGH to LOW transition of
SDA when SCL is HIGH. The CAT24WC128 monitors
the SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this
condition is met.
STOP Condition
A LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH
determines the STOP condition. All operations must
end with a STOP condition.

CAT24WC128
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a
START condition. The Master sends the address of the
particular slave device it is requesting. The seven most
significant bits of the 8-bit slave address are fixed as
1010XXX (Fig. 5), where X can be a 0 or 1. The last bit
of the slave address specifies whether a Read or Write
operation is to be performed. When this bit is set to 1, a
Read operation is selected, and when set to 0, a Write
operation is selected.
After the Master sends a START condition and the slave
address byte, the CAT24WC128 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address. The
CAT24WC128 then performs a Read or Write operation
depending on the state of the R/W bit.
Acknowledge
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is
required to generate an acknowledge. The Acknowledg-
ing device pulls down the SDA line during the ninth clock
cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits of data.
The CAT24WC128 responds with an acknowledge after
receiving a START condition and its slave address. If the
device has been selected along with a write operation,
it responds with an acknowledge after receiving each 8-
bit byte.
When the CAT24WC128 begins a READ mode it trans-
mits 8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and monitors
the line for an acknowledge. Once it receives this ac-

SCL FROM
MASTER
knowledge, the CAT24WC128 will continue to transmit
data. If no acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device
terminates data transmission and waits for a STOP
condition.
WRITE OPERATIONS
Byte Write
In the Byte Write mode, the Master device sends the
START condition and the slave address information
(with the R/W bit set to zero) to the Slave device. After
the Slave generates an acknowledge, the Master sends
two 8-bit address words that are to be written into the
address pointers of the CAT24WC128. After receiving
another acknowledge from the Slave, the Master device
transmits the data to be written into the addressed
memory location. The CAT24WC128 acknowledges
once more and the Master generates the STOP condi-
tion. At this time, the device begins an internal program-
ming cycle to nonvolatile memory. While the cycle is in
progress, the device will not respond to any request from
the Master device.
Page Write
The CAT24WC128 writes up to 64 bytes of data, in a
single write cycle, using the Page Write operation. The
page write operation is initiated in the same manner as
the byte write operation, however instead of terminating
after the initial byte is transmitted, the Master is allowed
to send up to 63 additional bytes. After each byte has
been transmitted, CAT24WC128 will respond with an
