Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24AA64/24LC64
(24XX64*) is a 64 Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM.
The device is organized as eight blocks of 1K x 8-bit
memory with a 2-wire serial interface. Low-voltage
design permits operation down to 1.8V, with standby
and active currents of only 1
µA
and 1 mA,
respectively. It has been developed for advanced, low-
power applications such as personal communications
or data acquisition. The 24XX64 also has a page write
capability for up to 32 bytes of data. Functional address
lines allow up to eight devices on the same bus, for up
to 512 Kbits address space. The 24XX64 is available in
the standard 8-pin PDIP, surface mount SOIC, TSSOP
and MSOP 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
T

specification for standard operation.
This parameter is not tested but ensured by characterization. For endurance estimates in a specific

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.4
Data Valid (D)
The 24XX64 supports a bidirectional, 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as transmitter, while a device
receiving data is defined as a receiver. The bus has to
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
24XX64 works as slave. Both master and slave can
operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a Start condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the high period of the clock signal.
The data on the line must 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. The number of data
bytes transferred between Start and Stop conditions is
determined by the master device and is, theoretically,
unlimited (although only the last thirty two will be stored
when doing a write operation). When an overwrite does
occur, it will replace data in a first-in first-out (FIFO)
fashion.
3.0
BUS CHARACTERISTICS
The following
bus protocol
has been defined:
• Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy
• During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Changes in
the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a Start or Stop condition
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Figure 3-1).
3.5
Acknowledge
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte. The master device must generate an extra clock
pulse which is associated with this Acknowledge bit.
Note:
The 24XX64 does not generate any
Acknowledge
bits
if
an
internal
programming cycle is in progress.
3.1
Bus not Busy (A)
Both data and clock lines remain high.
3.2
Start Data Transfer (B)
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Start condition. All
commands must be preceded by a Start condition.
3.3
Stop Data Transfer (C)
A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Stop condition. All
operations must be ended with a Stop condition.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down the
SDA line during the Acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable low during the high
period of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of
course, setup and hold times must be taken into
account. During reads, a master must signal an end of
data to the slave by not generating an Acknowledge bit
on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave.
In this case, the slave (24XX64) will leave the data line
high to enable the master to generate the Stop
condition.
