Two-wire Serial
EEPROM
512K (65,536 x 8)
Description
The AT24C512B provides 524,288 bits of serial electrically erasable and programma-
ble read only memory (EEPROM) organized as 65,536 words of 8 bits each. The
device’s cascadable feature allows up to four devices to share a common two-wire
bus. The device is optimized for use in many industrial and commercial applications
where low-power and low-voltage operation are essential. The devices are available in
space-saving 8-pin PDIP, 8-lead JEDEC SOIC, 8-lead TSSOP, 8-lead Leadless Array
(LAP), and 8-lead SAP packages. In addition, the entire family is available in a 1.8V
(1.8V to 3.6V) version.

Pin Description
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.
SERIAL DATA (SDA):
The SDA pin is bidirectional 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.
DEVICE/PAGE ADDRESSES (A2, A1, A0):
The A2, A1, and A0 pins are device
address inputs that are hardwired (directly to GND or to Vcc) for compatibility with other
AT24Cxx devices. When the pins are hardwired, as many as eight 512K devices may be
addressed on a single bus system. (Device addressing is discussed in detail under
“Device Addressing,” page 8.) A device is selected when a corresponding hardware and
software match is true. If these pins are left floating, the A2, A1, and A0 pins will be
internally pulled down to GND. However, due to capacitive coupling that may appear
during customer applications, Atmel recommends always connecting the address pins
to a known state. When using a pull-up resistor, Atmel recommends using 10kΩ or less.
WRITE PROTECT (WP):
The write protect input, when connected to GND, allows nor-
mal write operations. When WP is connected directly 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. However, due to capacitive coupling that may appear during customer applica-
tions, Atmel recommends always connecting the WP pins to a known state. When using
a pull-up resistor, Atmel recommends using 10kΩ or less.
Memory Organization
AT24C512B, 512K SERIAL EEPROM:
The 512K is internally organized as 512 pages
of 128-bytes each. Random word addressing requires a 16-bit data word address.

Device Operation
CLOCK and DATA TRANSITIONS:
The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an exter-
nal device. Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (see
Figure 4 on page 7). 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 Figure 5 on page 7).
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 5 on page 7).
ACKNOWLEDGE:
All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the
EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a zero during the ninth clock cycle to
acknowledge that it has received each word.
