EEPROM Serial 128-Kb I
2
C
The CAT24C128 is a EEPROM Serial 128−Kb I
2
C internally
organized as 16,384 words of 8 bits each.
It features a 64−byte page write buffer and supports both the
Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz) and Fast−Plus (1 MHz) I
2
C
protocol.
Write operations can be inhibited by taking the WP pin High (this
protects the entire memory).
On−Chip ECC (Error Correction Code) makes the device suitable
for high reliability applications.*

4. The new product revision (C) uses ECC (Error Correction Code) logic with 6 ECC bits to correct one bit error in 4 data bytes. Therefore, when
a single byte has to be written, 4 bytes (including the ECC bits) are re−programmed. It is recommended to write by multiple of 4 bytes in order
to benefit from the maximum number of write cycles.

6. When not driven, the WP pin is pulled down to GND internally. For improved noise immunity, the internal pull−down is relatively strong;
therefore the external driver must be able to supply the pull−down current when attempting to drive the input HIGH. To conserve power, as
the input level exceeds the trip point of the CMOS input buffer (~ 0.5 x V
CC
), the strong pull−down reverts to a weak current source.

CAT24C128
Power−On Reset (POR)
The CAT24C128 incorporates Power−On Reset (POR)
circuitry which protects the device against powering up in
the wrong state.
The CAT24C128 will power up into Standby mode after
V
CC
exceeds the POR trigger level and will power down into
Reset mode when V
CC
drops below the POR trigger level.
This bi−directional POR feature protects the device against
‘brown−out’ failure following a temporary loss of power.
Pin Description
SCL:
The Serial Clock input pin accepts the Serial Clock
generated by the Master.
SDA:
The Serial Data I/O pin receives input data and
transmits data stored in EEPROM. In transmit mode, this pin
is open drain. Data is acquired on the positive edge, and is
delivered on the negative edge of SCL.
A
0
, A
1
and A
2
: The Address pins accept the device address.
When not driven, these pins are pulled LOW internally.
WP:
The Write Protect input pin inhibits all write
operations, when pulled HIGH. When not driven, this pin is
pulled LOW internally.
Functional Description
The CAT24C128 supports the Inter−Integrated Circuit
(I
2
C) Bus data transmission protocol, which defines a device
that sends data to the bus as a transmitter and a device
receiving data as a receiver. Data flow is controlled by a
Master device, which generates the serial clock and all
START and STOP conditions. The CAT24C128 acts as a
Slave device. Master and Slave alternate as either
transmitter or receiver. Up to 8 devices may be connected to
the bus as determined by the device address inputs A
0
, A
1
,
and A
2
.
I
2
C Bus Protocol
The I
2
C bus consists of two ‘wires’, SCL and SDA. The
two wires are connected to the V
CC
supply via pull−up
resistors. Master and Slave devices connect to the 2−wire
bus via their respective SCL and SDA pins. The transmitting
device pulls down the SDA line to ‘transmit’ a ‘0’ and
releases it to ‘transmit’ a ‘1’.
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy (see A.C. Characteristics).
During data transfer, the SDA line must remain stable
while the SCL line is HIGH. An SDA transition while SCL
is HIGH will be interpreted as a START or STOP condition
(Figure 2). The START condition precedes all commands. It
consists of a HIGH to LOW transition on SDA while SCL
is HIGH. The START acts as a ‘wake−up’ call to all
receivers. Absent a START, a Slave will not respond to
commands. The STOP condition completes all commands.
It consists of a LOW to HIGH transition on SDA while SCL
is HIGH.
Device Addressing
The Master initiates data transfer by creating a START
condition on the bus. The Master then broadcasts an 8−bit
serial Slave address. The first 4 bits of the Slave address are
set to 1010, for normal Read/Write operations (Figure 3).
The next 3 bits, A
2
, A
1
and A
0
, select one of 8 possible Slave
devices and must match the state of the external address pins.
The last bit, R/W, specifies whether a Read (1) or Write (0)
operation is to be performed.
Acknowledge
After processing the Slave address, the Slave responds
with an acknowledge (ACK) by pulling down the SDA line
during the 9
th
clock cycle (Figure 4). The Slave will also
acknowledge all address bytes and every data byte presented
in Write mode. In Read mode the Slave shifts out a data byte,
and then releases the SDA line during the 9
th
clock cycle. As
long as the Master acknowledges the data, the Slave will
continue transmitting. The Master terminates the session by
not acknowledging the last data byte (NoACK) and by
issuing a STOP condition. Bus timing is illustrated in
Figure 5.
