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

address.

CAT34AC02
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT34AC02 supports the SMBus data transmission
protocol. This serial 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
CAT34AC02 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.
all data transfers into or out of the device. This is an input
pin.
SDA:
Serial Data/Address
The CAT34AC02 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. A maximum of eight devices can be cascaded
when using the device.
WP:
Write Protect
This input, when tied to GND, allows write operations to
the entire memory. For CAT34AC02 when this pin is tied
to V
CC
, the entire array of memory is write protected.
When left floating, memory is unprotected.

CAT34AC02
SERIAL BUS PROTOCOL
The following defines the features of the ACR Serial 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 CAT34AC02 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.
eight CAT34AC02 may be individually addressed by the
system. 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 CAT34AC02 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address. The
CAT34AC02 then performs a Read or a 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
Acknowledging device pulls down the SDA line during
the ninth clock cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits
of data.
The CAT34AC02 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
byte.
When the CAT34AC02 begins a READ mode, it transmits
8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and monitors the
line for an acknowledge. Once it receives this
acknowledge, the CAT34AC02 will continue to transmit
data. If no acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device
terminates data transmission and waits for a STOP
condition.
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The 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
1011 for the CAT34AC02 (see Fig. 5). The next three
significant bits (A2, A1, A0) are the device address bits
and define which device the Master is accessing. Up to
