Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24VL024/24VL025 is a
2 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROM with
operation down to 1.5V. The device is organized as a
single block of 256 x 8-bit memory with a 2-wire serial
interface. Low-current design permits operation with
maximum standby and active currents of only 1
μA
and
400
μA,
respectively. The device has a page write
capability for up to 16 bytes of data. Functional address
lines allow the connection of up to eight 24VL024/
24VL025 devices on the same bus for up to 16 Kbits of
contiguous EEPROM memory. The device is
available in the standard 8-pin PDIP, 8-pin SOIC (150
mil), TSSOP, 2x3 TDFN and MSOP packages. The
24VL025 is also available in the 6-lead, SOT-23
package.

B
= total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
2:
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.
3:
The combined T
SP
and V
HYS
specifications are due to new Schmitt Trigger inputs, which provide improved
noise spike suppression. This eliminates the need for a T
I
specification for standard operation.
4:
This parameter is not tested but ensured by characterization. For endurance estimates in a specific appli-
cation, please consult the Total Endurance™ Model which can be obtained from Microchip’s web site at

SDA Serial Data
2.4
WP (24VL024 only)
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 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2 kΩ for
400 kHz).
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.
WP is the hardware write-protect pin. It must be tied to
V
CC
or V
SS
. If tied to V
CC
, the hardware write protection
is enabled and will protect the entire array (00h-FFh). If
the WP pin is tied to V
SS
the hardware write protection
is disabled.
2.5
Noise Protection
2.2
SCL Serial Clock
The 24VL024/24VL025 employs a V
CC
threshold
detector circuit that disables the internal erase/write
logic if the V
CC
is below 1.0 volts at nominal conditions.
The SCL and SDA inputs have Schmitt Trigger and
filter circuits that suppress noise spikes to assure
proper device operation even on a noisy bus.
The SCL input is used to synchronize the data transfer
to and from the device.
2.3
A0, A1, A2
The A0, A1 and A2 inputs are used by the 24VL024/
24VL025 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.
Up to eight 24VL024/24VL025 devices (four for the
SOT-23 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.
