Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24AA044 is a 4 Kbit
Serial Electrically Erasable PROM with a voltage
range of 1.7V to 5.5V. The device is organized as two
blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory with a 2-wire serial
interface. Low-current design permits operation with
standby and active currents of only 1
A
and 400
A,
respectively. The device has a page write capability for
up to 16 bytes of data. Functional address lines allow
the connection of up to four 24AA044 devices on the
same bus for up to 16K bits of contiguous EEPROM
memory. The device is available in the standard 8-pin
PDIP, 8-pin SOIC (3.90 mm), TSSOP, 2x3 UDFN and
MSOP packages.

As a transmitter, the device must provide an internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region (minimum
200 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.

2.1
Serial Data (SDA)
2.5
Noise Protection
SDA 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 V
CC
(typical 10 k for 100 kHz, 2 k 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.
The 24AA044 employs a V
CC
threshold detector circuit
which disables the internal erase/write logic if the V
CC
is below 1.35V at nominal conditions.
The SCL and SDA inputs have Schmitt Trigger and
filter circuits which suppress noise spikes to assure
proper device operation, even on a noisy bus.
3.0
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.2
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to synchronize the data transfer
from and to the device.
2.3
Chip Address Inputs (A1, A2)
The levels on the A1 and A2 inputs are compared with
the corresponding bits in the slave address. The chip is
selected if the compare is true.
Up to four 24AA044 devices may be connected to the
same bus by using different Chip Select bit combina-
tions. These inputs must be connected to either V
CC
or
V
SS
.
The 24AA044 supports a bidirectional, 2-wire bus
and data transmission protocol. A device that sends
data onto the bus is defined as transmitter, while a
device receiving data is defined as receiver. The bus
has to be controlled by a master device that gener-
ates the Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access
and generates the Start and Stop conditions, while
the 24AA044 works as slave. Both master and slave
can operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
2.4
Write-Protect (WP)
WP is the hardware write-protect pin. It must be tied to
V
CC
or V
SS
. If tied to Vcc, hardware write protection is
enabled. If WP is tied to Vss, the hardware write
protection is disabled.
