CAT24FC65/66
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24FC65/66 supports the I
2
C Bus data
transmission protocol. This Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus
protocol defines any device that sends data to the bus to
be a transmitter and any device receiving data to be a
receiver. The transfer is controlled by the Master device
which generates the serial clock and all START and
STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24FC65/66
operates as a Slave device. Both the Master device and
Slave device can operate as either transmitter or receiver,
but the Master device controls which mode is activated.
SDA: Serial Data/Address
The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA pin
is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed with other
open drain or open collector outputs.
WP: Write Protect
This input, when tied to GND, allows write operations to
the entire memory. When this pin is tied to Vcc, the
bottom/top (CAT24FC65/CAT24FC66)1/4 of memory
is write protected. When left floating, memory is
unprotected.
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL: Serial Clock
The serial clock input clocks all data transferred into or
out of the device.
A0, A1, A2: Device Address Inputs
These pins are hardwired or left connected. When
hardwired, up to eight CAT24FC65/66's may be
addressed on a single bus system. When the pins are
left unconnected, the default values are zero.

C BUS PROTOCOL
The features of the I
2
C bus protocol are defined as
follows:
(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.
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 CAT24FC65/66 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.
allow as many as eight devices on the same bus. These
bits must compare to their hardwired input pins. The last
bit of the slave address specifies whether a Read or
Write operation is to be performed. When this bit is set
to 1, a Read operation is selected, and when set to 0, a
Write operation is selected.
After the Master sends a START condition and the slave
address byte, the CAT24FC65/66 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address. The
CAT24FC65/66 then performs a Read or Write operation
depending on the state of the R/W bit.
Acknowledge
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is
required to generate an acknowledge. The
Acknowledging device pulls down the SDA line during
the ninth clock cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits
of data.
The CAT24FC65/66 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.
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a
START condition. The Master sends the address of the
particular slave device it is requesting. The four most
significant bits of the 8-bit slave address are fixed as
1010 (Fig. 5). The CAT24FC65/66 uses the next three
bits as address bits. The address bits A2, A1 and A0
