The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop
condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal
program/erase cycle. During the write cycle, the bus
interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain
high, and the device does not respond to its input.

CAT24C01B
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24C01B uses a 2-wire data transmission pro-
tocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data to
the bus to be a transmitter and any device receiving data
to be a receiver. Data transfer is controlled by the Master
device which generates the serial clock and all START
and STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24C01B
operates as a Slave device. Both the Master and Slave
devices can operate as either transmitter or receiver, but
the Master device controls which mode is activated.
SDA:
Serial Data/Address
The CAT24C01B bidirectional serial data/address pin is
used to transfer data into and out of the device. The SDA
pin is an open drain output and can be wired with other
open drain or open collector outputs.
2-WIRE BUS PROTOCOL
The following defines the features of the 2-wire bus
protocol:
(1) Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is
not busy.
(2) During a data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Any changes
in the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL:
Serial Clock
The CAT24C01B serial clock input pin is used to clock
all data transfers into or out of the device. This is an input
pin.

CAT24C01B
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 CAT24C01B monitors the
SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this
condition is met.
STOP Condition
A LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH
determines the STOP condition. All operations must end
with a STOP condition.
Acknowledge
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is
required to generate an acknowledge. The Acknowledg-
ing device pulls down the SDA line during the ninth clock
cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits of data.
The CAT24C01B responds with an acknowledge after
receiving a START condition and its slave address. If the
device has been selected along with a write operation,
it responds with an acknowledge after receiving each 8-
bit byte.
When the CAT24C01B is in a READ mode it transmits
8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and monitors the
line for an acknowledge. Once it receives this acknowl-
edge, the CAT24C01B will continue to transmit data. If
no acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device
terminates data transmission and waits for a STOP
condition.
(with the R/W bit set to zero) to the Slave device. After the
Slave generates an acknowledge, the Master sends the
byte address that is to be written into the address pointer
of the CAT24C01B. After receiving another acknowl-
edge from the Slave, the Master device transmits the
data byte to be written into the addressed memory
location. The CAT24C01B acknowledge once more and
the Master generates the STOP condition, at which time
the device begins its internal programming cycle to
nonvolatile memory. While this internal cycle is in
progress, the device will not respond to any request from
the Master device.
Page Write
The CAT24C01B writes up to 4 bytes of data in a single
write cycle, using the Page Write operation. The Page
Write operation is initiated in the same manner as the
Byte Write operation, however instead of terminating
after the initial word is transmitted, the Master is allowed
to send up to 3 additional bytes. After each byte has been
transmitted the CAT24C01B will respond with an ac-
knowledge, and internally increment the low order ad-
dress bits by one. The high order bits remain un-
changed.
If the Master transmits more than 4 bytes prior to sending
the STOP condition, the address counter ‘wraps around,’
and previously transmitted data will be overwritten.
Once all 4 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 CAT24C01B in a single write cycle.
Note: Catalyst Semiconductor does program all "1" data
into the entire memory array prior to shipping our
EEPROM products.
