KS24L161
16K-bit
Serial EEPROM
Data Sheet
OVERVIEW
The KS24L161 serial EEPROM has a 16 Kbits (2,048 bytes) capacity, supporting the standard I
2
C™-bus serial
interface. It is fabricated using Samsung’ most advanced CMOS technology. One of its major features is a
s
hardware-based write protection circuit for the entire memory area. Hardware-based write protection is controlled
by the state of the write-protect (WP) pin. Using one-page write mode, you can load up to 16 bytes of data into
the EEPROM in a single write operation. Another significant feature of the KS24L161 is its support for fast mode
and standard mode.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

C-BUS INTERFACE
The KS24L161 supports the I
2
C-bus serial interface data transmission protocol. The two-wire bus consists of a
serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The SDA and the SCL lines must be connected to V
CC
by a
pull-up resistor that is located somewhere on the bus.
Any device that puts data onto the bus is defined as a “transmitter” and any device that get s data from the bus is
a “receiver.” The bus is controlled by a master device which generates the serial clock and start/stop conditions,
controlling bus access. Only one KS24L161 devices can be connected to the I
2
C-bus as slaves (see Figure 5-6).
Both the master and slaves can operate as a transmitter or a receiver, but the master device determines which
bus operating mode would be active.
