DESCRIPTION
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24C02C is a 2K bit
Serial Electrically Erasable PROM with a voltage range
of 4.5V to 5.5V. The device is organized as a single
block of 256 x 8-bit memory with a 2-wire serial inter-
face. Low current design permits operation with typical
standby and active currents of only 10
µ
A and 1 mA
respectively. The device has a page-write capability for
up to 16 bytes of data and has fast write cycle times of
only 1 mS for both byte and page writes. Functional
address lines allow the connection of up to eight
24C02C devices on the same bus for up to 16K bits of
contiguous EEPROM memory. The device is available
in the standard 8-pin PDIP, 8-pin SOIC (150 mil), and
TSSOP packages.

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

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SDA Serial Data
3.0
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This is a bi-directional 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).
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.
The 24C02C supports a bi-directional 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as transmitter, and a device
receiving data as 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 24C02C works
as slave. Both master and slave can operate as trans-
mitter or receiver but the master device determines
which mode is activated.
2.2
SCL Serial Clock
This input is used to synchronize the data transfer from
and to the device.
2.3
A0, A1, A2
The levels on these inputs are compared with the cor-
responding bits in the slave address. The chip is
selected if the compare is true.
Up to eight 24C02C devices may be connected to the
same bus by using different chip select bit combina-
tions. These inputs must be connected to either V
CC
or
V
SS
.
2.4
WP
This is the hardware write protect pin. It must be tied to
V
CC
or V
SS
. If tied to Vcc, the hardware write protection
is enabled. If the WP pin is tied to Vss the hardware
write protection is disabled.
2.5
Noise Protection
The 24C02C employs a V
CC
threshold detector circuit
which disables the internal erase/write logic if the V
CC
is below 3.8 volts at nominal conditions.
The SCL and SDA inputs have Schmitt trigger and filter
circuits which suppress noise spikes to assure proper
device operation even on a noisy bus.

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 4-1).
The data on the line must be changed during the LOW
period of the clock signal. There is one bit of data per
clock pulse.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition
and terminated with a STOP condition. The number of
the data bytes transferred between the START and
STOP conditions is determined by the master device
and is theoretically unlimited, although only the last six-
teen will be stored when doing a write operation. When
an overwrite does occur it will replace data in a first in
first out fashion.
4.1
Bus not Busy (A)
4.5
Acknowledge
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
4.2
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.
Each receiving device, when addressed, is required 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 24C02C does not generate any
acknowledge bits if an internal program-
ming cycle is in progress.
4.3
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.
4.4
Data Valid (D)
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 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. 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 must leave the data line HIGH to enable the
master to generate the STOP condition (Figure 4-2).
