Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24LCS21A is a
128 x 8-bit dual-mode Electrically Erasable PROM.
This device is designed for use in applications
requiring storage and serial transmission of configura-
tion and control information. Two modes of operation
have been implemented: Transmit-Only mode and
Bidirectional mode. Upon power-up, the device will be
in the Transmit-Only mode, sending a serial bit stream
of the memory array from 00h to 7Fh, clocked by the
VCLK pin. A valid high-to-low transition on the SCL
pin will cause the device to enter the Transition mode
and look for a valid control byte on the I
2
C bus. If it
detects a valid control byte from the master, it will
switch into Bidirectional mode, with byte selectable
read/write capability of the memory array using SCL.
If no control byte is received, the device will revert to
the Transmit-Only mode after it receives 128 consec-
utive VCLK pulses while the SCL pin is idle. The
24LCS21A also enables the user to write-protect the
entire memory array using its write-protect pin. The
24LCS21A is available in a standard 8-pin PDIP and
SOIC package in industrial temperature range.

As a transmitter, the device must provide an internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
The combined T

specifications are due to Schmitt Trigger inputs which provide noise and
spike suppression. This eliminates the need for a T

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24LCS21A is designed to comply to the DDC
Standard proposed by VESA
®
(Figure 3-3) with the
exception that it is not Access.bus™ capable. It oper-
ates in two modes, the Transmit-Only mode and the
Bidirectional mode. There is a separate 2-wire protocol
to support each mode, each having a separate clock
input but sharing a common data line (SDA). The
device enters the Transmit-Only mode upon power-up.
In this mode, the device transmits data bits on the SDA
pin in response to a clock signal on the VCLK pin. The
device will remain in this mode until a valid high-to-low
transition is placed on the SCL input. When a valid
transition on SCL is recognized, the device will switch
into the Bidirectional mode and look for its control byte
to be sent by the master. If it detects its control byte, it
will stay in the Bidirectional mode. Otherwise, it will
revert to the Transmit-Only mode after it sees 128
VCLK pulses.
it be initialized prior to valid data being sent in the
Transmit-Only mode (Section
2.2 “Initialization Pro-
cedure”).
In this mode, data is transmitted on the SDA
pin in 8-bit bytes, with each byte followed by a ninth,
null bit (Figure 2-1). The clock source for the Transmit-
Only mode is provided on the VCLK pin, and a data bit
is output on the rising edge on this pin. The eight bits in
each byte are transmitted Most Significant bit first.
Each byte within the memory array will be output in
sequence. After address 7Fh in the memory array is
transmitted, the internal Address Pointers will wrap
around to the first memory location (00h) and continue.
The Bidirectional mode Clock (SCL) pin must be held
high for the device to remain in the Transmit-Only
mode.
2.2
Initialization Procedure
2.1
Transmit-Only Mode
The device will power up in the Transmit-Only mode at
address 00h. This mode supports a unidirectional
2-wire protocol for continuous transmission of the
contents of the memory array. This device requires that
After V
CC
has stabilized, the device will be in the Trans-
mit-Only mode. Nine clock cycles on the VCLK pin
must be given to the device for it to perform internal
sychronization. During this period, the SDA pin will be
in a high-impedance state. On the rising edge of the
tenth clock cycle, the device will output the first valid
data bit which will be the Most Significant bit in address
00h. (Figure 2-2).

BIDIRECTIONAL MODE
Before the 24LCS21A can be switched into the
Bidirectional mode (Figure 3-1), it must enter the Tran-
sition mode, which is done by applying a valid high-to-
low transition on the Bidirectional mode clock (SCL). As
soon it enters the Transition mode, it looks for a control
byte,
‘1010 000X’
on the I
2
C™ bus, and starts to
count pulses on VCLK. Any high-to-low transition on
the SCL line will reset the count. If it sees a pulse count
of 128 on VCLK while the SCL line is idle, it will revert
back to the Transmit-Only mode and transmit its con-
tents starting with the Most Significant bit in address
00h. However, if it detects the control byte on the I
2
C™
bus, (Figure 3-2) it will switch to the Bidirectional mode.
Once the device has made the transition to the Bidirec-
tional mode, the only way to switch the device back to
the Transmit-Only mode is to remove power from the
device. The mode transition process is shown in detail
in Figure 3-3.
Once the device has switched into the Bidirectional
mode, the VCLK input is disregarded, with the
exception that a logic high level is required to enable
write capability. This mode supports a two-wire
Bidirectional data transmission protocol (I
2
C™). In this
protocol, a device that sends data on the bus is defined
to be the transmitter, and a device that receives data
from the bus is defined to be the receiver. The bus must
be controlled by a master device that generates the
Bidirectional mode clock (SCL), controls access to the
bus and generates the Start and Stop conditions, while
the 24LCS21A acts as the slave. Both master and
slave can operate as transmitter or receiver, but the
master device determines which mode is activated. In
the Bidirectional mode, the 24LCS21A only responds
to commands for device
‘1010 000X’.
