Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24AA256/24LC256/
24FC256 (24XX256*) is a 32K x 8 (256 Kbit) Serial
Electrically Erasable PROM, capable of operation
across a broad voltage range (1.7V to 5.5V). It has
been developed for advanced, low-power applications
such as personal communications or data acquisition.
This device also has a page write capability of up to 64
bytes of data. This device is capable of both random
and sequential reads up to the 256K boundary.
Functional address lines allow up to eight devices on
the same bus, for up to 2 Mbit address space. This
device is available in the standard 8-pin plastic DIP,
SOIC, SOIJ, TSSOP, MSOP, DFN and TDFN pack-
ages. The 24AA256 is also available in the 8-lead Chip
Scale package.

2.1
A0, A1, A2 Chip Address Inputs
2.3
Serial Clock (SCL)
The A0, A1 and A2 inputs are used by the 24XX256 for
multiple device operations. The levels on these inputs
are compared with the corresponding bits in the slave
address. The chip is selected if the compare is true.
For the MSOP package only, pins A0 and A1 are not
connected.
Up to eight devices (two for the MSOP package) may
be connected to the same bus by using different Chip
Select bit combinations. These inputs must be
connected to either V
CC
or V
SS
.
In most applications, the chip address inputs A0, A1
and A2 are hard-wired to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’. For
applications in which these pins are controlled by a
microcontroller or other programmable device, the chip
address pins must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’
before normal device operation can proceed.
This input is used to synchronize the data transfer to
and from the device.
2.4
Write-Protect (WP)
This pin must be connected to either V
SS
or V
CC
. If tied
to V
SS
, write operations are enabled. If tied to V
CC
,
write operations are inhibited but read operations are
not affected.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.2
Serial Data (SDA)
This 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 24XX256 supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a device
receiving data as a receiver. The bus must be
controlled by a master device which generates the
Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and
generates the Start and Stop conditions while the
24XX256 works as a slave. Both master and slave can
operate as a transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
