Description
The AT24C02A/04A provides 2048/4096 bits of serial electrically erasable and pro-
grammable read-only memory (EEPROM) organized as 256/512 words of 8 bits each.
The device is optimized for use in many automotive applications where low-power and
low-voltage operation are essential. The AT24C02A/04A is available in space-saving
8-lead PDIP, 8-lead JEDEC SOIC, and 8-lead TSSOP packages and is accessed via a
two-wire serial interface. In addition, the entire family is available in 2.7V (2.7V to
5.5V) version.

Pin Description
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL):
The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into each
EEPROM device and negative edge clock data out of each device.
SERIAL DATA (SDA):
The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. This pin is
open-drain driven and may be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or open-
collector devices.
DEVICE/PAGE ADDRESSES (A2, A1, A0):
The A2, A1, and A0 pins are device
address inputs that must be hardwired for the AT24C02A. As many as eight 2K devices
may be addressed on a single bus system. (Device addressing is discussed in detail
under
Device Addressing,
page 7).
The AT24C04A uses the A2 and A1 inputs for hardwire addressing, and a total of four
4K devices may be addressed on a single bus system. The A0 pin is a no-connect.

WRITE PROTECT (WP):
The AT24C02A/04A have a WP pin that provides hardware
data protection. The WP pin allows normal read/write operations when connected to
ground (GND). When the WP pin is connected to V
CC
, the write protection feature is
enabled and operates as shown. (See Table 1.)

Memory Organization
AT24C02A, 2K SERIAL EEPROM:
The 2K is internally organized with 32 pages of 8
bytes each. Random word addressing requires an 8-bit data word address.
AT24C04A, 4K SERIAL EEPROM:
The 4K is internally organized with 32 pages of 16
bytes each. Random word addressing requires a 9-bit data word address.

Device Operation
CLOCK and DATA TRANSITIONS:
The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an exter-
nal device. Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (see
Figure 2). Data changes during SCL high periods will indicate a start or stop condition as
defined in Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Data Validity
START CONDITION:
A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition
that must precede any other command (see Figure 3).
Figure 3.
Start and Stop Definition
STOP CONDITION:
A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition.
After a read sequence, the stop command will place the EEPROM in a standby power
mode (see Figure 3).
ACKNOWLEDGE:
All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from
the EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a “0” to acknowledge that it has
received each word. This happens during the ninth clock cycle.
STANDBY MODE:
The AT24C02A/04A features a low-power standby mode that is
enabled (a) upon power-up and (b) after the receipt of the STOP bit and the completion
of any internal operations.
