DESCRIPTION
The CAT24C21 is a 1-kb Serial CMOS EEPROM
internally organized as 128 words of 8 bits each. The
device complies with the Video Electronics Standard
Association's (VESA™), Display Data Channel (DDC™)
standards for "Plug-and-Play" monitors. The "transmit-
only" mode (DDC1™) is controlled by the VCLK clock
input and the "bi-directional" mode (DDC2™) is controlled
by the SCL clock input, with both modes sharing a
common SDA input/output (I/O). The transmit-only mode
is a read-only mode, while the bi-directional mode is a
read and write mode following the I
2
C protocol. In write
mode the CAT24C21 features a 16-byte page write
buffer. The device is available in 8-in DIP, SOIC, TSSOP,
MSOP and TDFN packages.

The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop condition
of a write sequence to the end of the internal program/

circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high, and
the device does not respond to its slave address.

CAT24C21
PIN DESCRIPTION
The SCL serial clock input pin is used to clock all data
transfers into or out of the device when in the
bi-directional mode.
The SDA bi-directional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer data into and out of the device. The SDA pin is
an open drain output and can be wire-ORed with other
open drain or open collector outputs.
TRANSMIT-ONLY MODE: (DDC1)
Upon power-up, the CAT24C21 will output valid data
only after it has been initialized. During initialization,
data will not be available until after the first nine clocks
are sent to the device (Figure 2). The starting address for
the transmit-only mode can be determined during
initialization. If the SDA pin is high during the first eight
clocks, the starting address will be 7FH. If the SDA pin
is low during the first eight clocks, the starting address
will be 00H. During the ninth clock, SDA will be in the high
impedance state.
Data is transmitted in 8 bit words with the most significant
bit first, followed by a 9th 'don't care' bit which will be in
the high impedance state (Figure 3). The CAT24C21 will
continuously sequence through the entire memory array
as long as VCLK is present and no falling edges on SCL
are detected. When the maximum address (7FH) is
reached, addressing will wrap around to the zero location
(00H) and transmitting will continue. The bi-directional
mode clock (SCL) pin must be held high for the device
to remain in the transmit-only mode.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24C21 has two modes of operation: the transmit-
only mode and the bi-directional mode. There is a
separate 2-wire protocol to support each mode, each
having a separate clock input (VCLK and SCL
respectively) and both modes sharing a common bi-
directional data line (SDA). The CAT24C21 enters the
transmit-only mode upon power up and begins outputting
data on the SDA pin with each clock signal on the VCLK
pin. The device will remain in the transmit-only mode
until there is a valid HIGH to LOW transition on the SCL
pin, when it will switch to the bi-directional mode (Figure
1). Once in the bi-directinal mode, the only way to return
to the transmit-only mode is by powering down the
device.
The VCLK serial clock input pin is used to clock data out
of the device when in transmit-only mode. When held
low, in bi-directional mode, it will inhibit write operations.

CAT24C21
BI-DIRECTIONAL MODE (DDC2)
The following defines the features of the I
2
C bus protocol
in bi-directional mode (Figure 4):
(1) Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is
not busy.
(2) During a data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Any changes
in the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.
When in the bi-directional mode, all inputs to the VCLK
pin are ignored, except when a logic high is required to
enable write capability.
START Condition
The START condition (Figure 6) precedes all commands
to the device, and is defined as a HIGH to LOW transition
of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The CAT24C21 monitors the
SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this
condition is met.
STOP Condition
A LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH
determines the STOP condition. All operations must end
with a STOP condition.
Device Addressing
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a
START condition. The Master then sends the address
of the particular slave device it is requesting. The four
most significant bits of the 8-bit slave address are fixed
as 1010 for the CAT24C21 (see Fig. 8). The next three
significant bits are "don't care". The last bit of the slave
address specifies whether a Read or Write operation is
to be performed. When this bit is set to 1, a Read
operation is selected, and when set to 0, a Write operation
is selected.
After the Master sends a START condition and the slave
address byte, the CAT24C21 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address. The
CAT24C21 then performs a Read or Write operation
depending on the state of the R/W bit.
