SCL
This input clock pin is used to synchronize the data
transfer to and from the device.
SDA
The SDA is a Bi-directional pin used to transfer addresses
and 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. The SDA bus
requires
a pullup
resistor to Vcc.
A0, A1, A2
The A0, A1 and A2 are the device address inputs that are
hardwired or left not connected for hardware compatibility
with the 24C16. When pins are hardwired, as many as eight
32K/64K devices may be addressed on a single bus
system. When the pins are not hardwired, the default values
of A0, A1, and A2 are zero.
WP
WP is the Write Protect pin. The input level determines if all,
partial, or none of the array is protected from modifications.

DEVICE OPERATION
IS24CXX features serial communication and supports a bi-
directional 2-wire bus transmission protocol called I
2
C
TM
.
Stop Condition
The Stop condition is defined as a Low to High transition of
SDA when SCL is High. All operations must end with a Stop
condition.
2-WIRE BUS
The two-wire bus is defined as a Serial Data line (SDA), and
a Serial Clock line (SCL). The protocol defines any device
that sends data onto the SDA bus as a transmitter, and the
receiving devices as receivers. The bus is controlled by a
Master device that generates the SCL, controls the bus
access, and generates the Stop and Start conditions. The
IS24CXX is the Slave device on the bus.
Acknowledge (ACK)
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is
required to generate an ACK. The Acknowledging device
pulls down the SDA line.
Reset
The
IS24CXX
contains a reset function in case the 2-
wire bus transmission is accidentally interrupted (eg. a
power loss), or needs to be terminated mid-stream. The
reset is caused when the Master device creates a Start
condition. To do this, it may be necessary for the Master
device to monitor the SDA line while cycling the SCL up
to nine times. (For each clock signal transition to High,
the Master checks for a High level on SDA.)
The Bus Protocol:
– Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy
– During a data transfer, the SDA line must remain stable
whenever the SCL line is high. Any changes in the SDA
line while the SCL line is high will be interpreted as a
Start or Stop condition.
The state of the SDA line represents valid data after a Start
condition. The SDA line must be stable for the duration of
the High period of the clock signal. The data on the SDA
line may be changed during the Low period of the clock
signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data. Each data
transfer is initiated with a Start condition and terminated
with a Stop condition.
Standby Mode
Power consumption is reduced in standby mode. The
IS24CXX will enter standby mode: a) At Power-up, and
remain in it until SCL or SDA toggles; b) Following the Stop
signal if a no write operation is initiated; or c) Following any
internal write operation.
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 EEPROM monitors the SDA and SCL lines and
will not respond until the Start condition is met.

DEVICE ADDRESSING
The Master begins a transmission by sending a Start
condition. The Master then sends the address of the
particular Slave devices it is requesting. The Slave
device (Fig. 5) address is 8 bits.
The four most significant bits of the Slave address are fixed
as 1010 for the IS24CXX.
The next three bits of the Slave address are A0, A1, and
A2, and are used in comparison with the hard-wired input
values on the A0, A1, and A2 pins. Up to eight IS24CXX
units may share the 2-wire bus.
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 transmits the Start condition and Slave
address byte (Fig. 5), the appropriate 2-wire Slave
(eg.IS24C64A) will respond with ACK on the SDA line. The
Slave will pull down the SDA on the ninth clock cycle,
signaling that it received the eight bits of data. The selected
EEPROM then prepares for a Read or Write operation by
monitoring the bus.
WRITE OPERATION
Byte Write
In the Byte Write mode, the Master device sends the Start
condition and the Slave address information (with the R/W
set to Zero) to the Slave device. After the Slave generates
an ACK, the Master sends the two byte address that is to
be written into the address pointer of the IS24CXX. After
receiving another ACK from the Slave, the Master device
transmits the data byte to be written into the address
memory location. The IS24CXX acknowledges once more
and the Master generates the Stop condition, at which time
the device begins its internal programming cycle. While
this internal cycle is in progress, the device will not respond
to any request from the Master device.
Page Write
The IS24CXX is capable of 32-byte Page-Write operation. A
Page-Write is initiated in the same manner as a Byte Write,
but instead of terminating the internal Write cycle after the
first data word is transferred, the Master device can transmit
up to 31 more bytes. After the receipt of each data word, the
EEPROM responds immediately with an ACK on SDA line,
and the five lower order data word address bits are internally
incremented by one, while the higher order bits of the data
word address remain constant. If a byte address is
incremented from the last byte of a page, it returns to the
first byte of that page. If the Master device should transmit
more than 32 bytes prior to issuing the Stop condition, the
address counter will “roll over,” and the previously written data
will be overwritten. Once all 32 bytes are received and the
Stop condition has been sent by the Master, the internal
programming cycle begins. At this point, all received data is
written to the IS24CXX in a single Write cycle. All inputs are
disabled until completion of the internal Write cycle.
Acknowledge (ACK) Polling
The disabling of the inputs can be used to take advantage
of the typical Write cycle time. Once the Stop condition is
issued to indicate the end of the host's Write operation, the
IS24CXX initiates the internal Write cycle. ACK polling can
be initiated immediately. This involves issuing the Start
condition followed by the Slave address for a Write operation.
If the EEPROM is still busy with the Write operation, no ACK
will be returned. If the IS24CXX has completed the Write
operation, an ACK will be returned and the host can then
