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 slave
address.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL:
Serial Clock
The CAT24WC01/02/04/08/16 serial clock input pin is
used to clock all data transfers into or out of the device.
This is an input pin.
SDA:
Serial Data/Address
The CAT24WC01/02/04/08/16 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
wire-ORed with other open drain or open collector
outputs.
A0, A1, A2:
Device Address Inputs
These inputs set device address when cascading mul-
tiple devices. When these pins are left floating the
default values are zeros.
A maximum of eight devices can be cascaded when
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24WC01/02/04/08/16 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. Data transfer is controlled by the Master
device which generates the serial clock and all START
and STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24WC01/
02/04/08/16 operates as a Slave device. Both the Mas-
ter and Slave devices can operate as either transmitter
or receiver, but the Master device controls which mode
is activated. A maximum of 8 devices (CAT24WC01 and
CAT24WC02), 4 devices (CAT24WC04), 2 devices
(CAT24WC08) and 1 device (CAT24WC16) may be
connected to the bus as determined by the device
address inputs A0, A1, and A2.

using either CAT24WC01 or CAT24WC02 device. All
three address pins are used for these densities. If only
one CAT24WC01 or CAT24WC02 is addressed on the
bus, all three address pins (A0, A1and A2) can be left
floating or connected to V
SS
.
A total of four devices can be addressed on a single bus
when using CAT24WC04 device. Only A1 and A2
address pins are used with this device. The A0 address
pin is a no connect pin and can be tied to V
SS
or left
floating. If only one CAT24WC04 is being addressed on
the bus, the address pins (A1 and A2) can be left floating
or connected to V
SS
.
Only two devices can be cascaded when using
CAT24WC08. The only address pin used with this
device is A2. The A0 and A1 address pins are no
connect pins and can be tied to V
SS
or left floating. If only
one CAT24WC08 is being addressed on the bus, the
address pin (A2) can be left floating or connected to V
SS
.
The CAT24WC16 is a stand alone device. In this case,
all address pins (A0, A1and A2) are no connect pins and
can be tied to V
SS
or left floating.
WP:
Write Protect
If the WP pin is tied to V
CC
the entire memory array
becomes Write Protected (READ only). When the WP
pin is tied to V
SS
or left floating normal read/write
operations are allowed to the device.
CAT24WC01/02/04/08/16
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 CAT24WC01/02/04/08/16
monitor 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.
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a
START condition. The Master then 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 for the CAT24WC01/02/04/08/16 (see Fig. 5).
The next three significant bits (A2, A1, A0) are the device
address bits and define which device or which part of the
device the Master is accessing. Up to eight CAT24WC01/
02, four CAT24WC04, two CAT24WC08, and one
CAT24WC16 may be individually addressed by the
system. 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 CAT24WC01/02/04/08/16 monitors
the bus and responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA
line) when its address matches the transmitted slave
