Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24AA00/24LC00/
24C00 (24XX00*) is a 128-bit Electrically Erasable
PROM memory organized as 16 x 8 with a 2-wire
serial interface. Low-voltage design permits operation
down to 1.8 volts for the 24AA00 version, and every
version maintains a maximum standby current of only
1
μA
and typical active current of only 500
μA.
This
device was designed for where a small amount of
EEPROM is needed for the storage of calibration
values, ID numbers or manufacturing information, etc.
The 24XX00 is available in 8-pin PDIP, 8-pin SOIC
(150 mil), 8-pin TSSOP, 8-pin 2x3 DFN and the 5-pin
SOT-23 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

specifications are due to new Schmitt Trigger inputs which provide improved
noise spike suppression. This eliminates the need for a TI specification for standard operation.
This parameter is not tested but ensured by characterization. For endurance estimates in a specific

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).
This is a bidirectional 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.
2.2
SCL Serial Clock
4.1
Bus Not Busy (A)
This input is used to synchronize the data transfer from
and to the device.
Both data and clock lines remain high.
4.2
Start Data Transfer (B)
2.3
Noise Protection
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.
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.
4.3
Stop Data Transfer (C)
3.0
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24XX00 supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter, and a device
receiving data 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
24XX00 works as slave. Both master and slave can
operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
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 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.

4.5
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 24XX00 does not generate any
Acknowledge bits if an internal program-
ming cycle is in progress.
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).
