Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24LCS22A is a 256 x 8-bit
dual-mode Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM). This
device is designed for use in applications requiring
storage and serial transmission of configuration and
control information. Two modes of operation have been
implemented: Transmit-Only mode (1 Kbit) and
Bidirectional mode (2 Kbit). 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 entire 2K memory array using SCL. If no
control byte is received, the device will revert to the Trans-
mit-Only mode after it receives 128 consecutive VCLK
pulses while the SCL pin is idle. The 24LCS22A is avail-
able in standard 8-pin PDIP and SOIC packages. The
24LCS22A features a flexible write-protect pin which is
enabled by writing to address 7Fh (usually the checksum

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 improved noise spike suppression.
This eliminates the need for a TI specification for standard operation.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24LCS22A 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 (1 Kbit)
and the Bidirectional mode (2 Kbit). 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.
be initialized prior to valid data being sent in the Trans-
mit-Only mode (Section
2.2 “Initialization Proce-
dure”).
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 first
1 Kbit of the memory array. This device requires that it
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 24LCS22A can be switched into the
Bidirectional mode (Figure 3-1), it must enter the
Transition mode, which is done by applying a valid
high-to-low transition on the Bidirectional mode clock
(SCL). As soon as 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 contents 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 Bidirectional 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. In Bidirectional mode the user has
access to the entire 2K array, whereas in the Transmit-
Only mode, the user can only access the first 1K. 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 24LCS22A 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 24LCS22A only responds
to commands for device
‘1010 000X’.
