DESCRIPTION
The CAT24C208 is an 8k-bit Dual Port Serial CMOS
EEPROM internally organized as 1k words of 8 bits
each. The CAT24C208 features a 16-byte page write
buffer and can be accessed from either of two separate
I
2
C compatible ports, DSP (SDA, SCL) and DDC (SDA,
SCL) which conform to the VESA E-EDID EEPROM
Standard.
Arbitration between the two interface ports is automatic
and allows the appearance of individual access to the
memory from each interface.
Using Catalyst's advanced CMOS technology which
substantially reduces device power requirements, the
CAT24C208 can be powered from either of two
independent V
CC
inputs.
The CAT24C208 operates over the full industrial and
extended temperature range and is available in
miniature 8-pin DIP, SOIC, TSSOP and MSOP
packages.

Function
Device power from display controller
The CAT24C208 DSP serial clock bidirectional pin is used to clock all
data transfers into or out of the device DSP SDA pin and is also used to
block DSP Port access when DDC Port is active.
DSP Serial Data/Address. The bidirectional DSP serial data/address pin
is used to transfer data into and out of the device from a display
controller. The DSP SDA pin is an open drain output and can be wire-
OR'ed with other open drain or open collector outputs.
Device ground.
DDC Serial Data/Address. The bidirectional DDC serial data/address
pin is used to transfer data into and out of the device from a DDC host.
The DDC SDA pin is an open drain output and can be wire-OR'ed with
other open drain or open collector outputs.
The CAT24C208 DDC serial clock bidirectional pin is used to clock all
data transfers into or out of the device DDC SDA pin, and is used to
block DDC Port for access when DSP Port is active.
EDID select. The CAT24C208 EDID select input selects the active bank
of memory to be accessed via the DDC SDA/SCL interface as set in
the configuration register.

The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal program/erase
cycle. During the write cycle, the bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high, and the device does
not respond to its slave address.

CAT24C208
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24C208 has a total memory space of 1K bytes
which is accessible from either of two I
2
C interface
ports, (DSP_SDA and DSP_SCL) or (DDC_SDA and
DDC_SCL), and with the use of segment pointer at
address 60h. On power up and after any instruction, the
segment pointer will be in segment 00h for DSP and in
segment 00h of the bank selected by the configuration
register for DDC.
The entire memory appears as contiguous memory
space from the perspective of the display interface
(DSP_SDA and DSP_SCL), see Table 2, and Figures
11 to Figure 18 for a complete description of the DSP
Interface.
A configuration register at addresses 62/63h is used to
configure the operation and memory map of the device
as seen from the DDC interface, (DDC_SDA and
DDC_SCL).
Read and write operations can be performed on any
location within the memory space from the display DSP
interface regardless of the state of the EDID SEL pin or
the activity on the DDC interface. From the DDC
interface, the memory space appears as two 500 byte
banks of memory, with 2 segments each 00h and 01h in
the upper and lower bank, see Table 1.
Each bank of memory can be used to store an E-EDID
data structure. However, only one bank can be read
through the DDC port at a time. The active bank of
memory (that is, the bank that appears at address A0h
on the DDC port) is controlled through the configuration
register at 62/63h and the EDID_SEL pin.
No write operations are possible from the DDC interface
unless the DDC Write Enable bit is set (WE = 1) in the
device configuration register at device address 62h.
The device automatically arbitrates between the two
interfaces to allow the appearance of individual access
to the memory from each interface.
In a typical E-EDID application the EDID_SEL pin is
usually connected to the “Analog Cable Detect” pin of a
VESA M1 compliant, dual-mode (analog and digital)
display. In this manner, the E-EDID appearing at ad-
dress A0h on the DDC port will be either the analog or
digital E-EDID, depending on the state of the “Analog
Cable Detect” pin (pin C3 of the M1-DA connector). See
Figure 1.
