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.

CAT24WC164
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24WC164 supports the I
2
C Bus data
transmission protocol. This Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus
protocol defines any device that sends data to the bus to
be a transmitter and any device receiving data to be a
receiver. Data transfer is controlled by the Master device
which generates the serial clock and all START and
STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24WC164
operates as a Slave device. Both the Master and Slave
devices can operate as either transmitter or receiver, but
the Master device controls which mode is activated. A
maximum of 8 devices may be connected to the bus as
determined by the device address inputs A0, A1, and A2.
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL:
Serial Clock
The CAT24WC164 serial clock input pin is used to clock
all data transfers into or out of the device. This is an input
pin.
SDA:
Serial Data/Address
The CAT24WC164 bidirectional 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.
A0, A1, A2:
Device Address Inputs
These inputs set device address when cascading multiple
devices. When these pins are left floating the default
values are zeros.
A maximum of eight devices can be cascaded. If only
one CAT24WC164 is addressed on the bus, all three

address pins (A0, A1and A2) can be left floating or
connected to V
SS
.
The CAT24WC164 can be made compatible with the
CAT24WC16 by tying A2, A1 and A0 to VSS or by
leaving A2, A1 and A0 float.
WP:
Write Protect
If the WP pin is tied to V
CC
the entire memory array
becomes Write Protected (READ only). When the WP
pin is tied to V
SS
or left floating normal read/write
operations are allowed to the device.
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 most
significant bit of the 8-bit slave address is fixed as 1. (see
Fig. 5). The next three significant bits (A2, A1, A0) are
the device address bits and define which device or which
part of the device the Master is accessing (The A1 bit
must be the compliment of the A1 input pin signal). Up
to eight CAT24WC164 devices may be individually
addressed by the system. The next three bits are used
as the three most significant bits of the data word
address. 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 CAT24WC164 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address. The
CAT24WC164 then performs a Read or Write operation
depending on the state of the R/W bit.
Acknowledge
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is
required to generate an acknowledge. The Acknowl-
edging device pulls down the SDA line during the ninth
clock cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits of data.
The CAT24WC164 responds with an acknowledge after
receiving a START condition and its slave address. If the
device has been selected along with a write operation,
it responds with an acknowledge after receiving each 8-
bit byte.
When the CAT24WC164 is in a READ mode it transmits
I
2
C BUS PROTOCOL
The following defines the features of the I
2
C bus protocol:
(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.
START Condition
The START Condition precedes all commands to the
device, and is defined as a HIGH to LOW transition of
SDA when SCL is HIGH. The CAT24WC164 monitor 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.
