Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24AA515/24LC515/
24FC515 (24XX515*) is a 64K x 8 (512K bit) Serial
Electrically Erasable PROM, capable of operation
across a broad voltage range (1.8V to 5.5V). It has
been developed for advanced, low power applications
such as personal communications or data acquisition.
This device has both byte write and page write capabil-
ity of up to 64 bytes of data. This device is capable of
both random and sequential reads. Reads may be
sequential within address boundaries 0000h to 7FFFh
and 8000h to FFFFh. Functional address lines allow up
to four devices on the same data bus. This allows for up
to 2 Mbits total system EEPROM memory. This device
is available in the standard 8-pin plastic DIP and SOIC
packages.

= total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
As a transmitter, the device must provide an internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region (minimum
300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
The combined T
SP
and V
HYS
specifications are due to new Schmitt Trigger inputs which provide improved noise spike
suppression. This eliminates the need for a TI specification for standard operation.
This parameter is not tested but established by characterization. For endurance estimates in a specific application,
please consult the Total Endurance™ Model which can be obtained from Microchip’s web site at www.microchip.com.

The 24XX515 supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter, and a device
receiving data as a receiver. The bus must be
controlled by a master device which generates the
Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and
generates the Start and Stop conditions while the
24XX515 works as a slave. Both master and slave can
operate as a transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
2.1
A0, A1 Chip Address Inputs
The A0, A1 inputs are used by the 24XX515 for multiple
device operations. The levels on these inputs are
compared with the corresponding bits in the slave
address. The chip is selected if the compare is true.
Up to four devices may be connected to the same bus
by using different Chip Select bit combinations. In most
applications, the chip address inputs A0 and A1 are
hard-wired to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’. For applications in
which these pins are controlled by a microcontroller or
other programmable device, the chip address pins
must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’ before normal
device operation can proceed.
2.2
A2 Chip Address Input
The A2 input is non-configurable Chip Select. This pin
must be tied to V
CC
in order for this device to operate.
2.3
Serial Data (SDA)
This is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and data out of the device. It is an open-
drain terminal, therefore, the SDA bus requires a pull-
up resistor to V
CC
(typical 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2 kΩ for
400 kHz and 1 MHz).
For normal data transfer SDA is allowed to change only
during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating the Start and Stop conditions.
