DESCRIPTION
The CAT24FC32A is a 32K-bit Serial CMOS EEPROM
internally organized as 4Kx8 bits. The device is
compatible with Fast-mode I
2
C bus specification and
operates down to 1.8V with a bit rate up to 400 kbit/s.
Extended addressing capability allows up to 8 devices
to share the same bus. Catalyst's advanced CMOS
technology substantially reduces device power

Supply Voltage Range
1.8V to 3.6V
Note:
(1) The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC
voltage on output pins is V
CC
+0.5V, which may overshoot to V
CC
+ 2.0V for periods of less than 20ns.
(2) Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.
(3) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(4) Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on address and data pins from –1V to V
CC
+1V.

Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions outside of those
listed in the operational sections of this specification is not
implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating for
extended periods may affect device performance and
reliability.

(3) 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.
