Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24AA52/24LCS52
(24XXX52*) is a 2 Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM
capable of operation across a broad voltage range
(1.8V to 5.5V). This device has a software write-protect
feature for the lower half of the array, as well as an
external pin that can be used to write-protect the entire
array. The software write-protect feature is enabled by
sending the device a special command. Once this
feature has been enabled, it cannot be reversed. In
addition to the software protect feature, there is a WP
pin that can be used to write-protect the entire array,
regardless of whether the software write-protect
register has been written or not. This allows the system
designer to protect none, half, or all of the array,
depending on the application. The device is organized
as one block of 256 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. The 24XXX52 also has a page
write capability for up to 16 bytes of data. The 24XXX52
is available in the standard 8-pin PDIP, surface mount
SOIC, TSSOP, MSOP and DFN 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.
3:
The combined T

specifications are due to new Schmitt Trigger inputs, which provide improved
noise spike suppression. This eliminates the need for a T

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.4
Data Valid (D)
The 24XXX52 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 gener-
ates the Start and Stop conditions, while the 24XXX52
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 the Start and Stop
conditions is determined by the master device and is,
theoretically, unlimited; although only the last sixteen
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 24XXX52 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 (24XXX52) will leave the data
line high to enable the master to generate the Stop
condition.
