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.

CAT34WC02
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT34WC02 supports the I
2
C Bus data transmis-
sion 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 re-
ceiver. Data transfer is controlled by the Master device
which generates the serial clock and all START and
STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT34WC02
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. A
maximum of 8 devices may be connected to the bus as
determined by the device address inputs A0, A1, and A2.
all data transfers into or out of the device. This is an input
pin.
SDA:
Serial Data/Address
The CAT34WC02 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. A maximum of eight devices can be
cascaded when using the device.
WP:
Write Protect
This input, when tied to GND, allows write operations to
the entire memory. For CAT34WC02 when this pin is
tied to V
CC
, the entire array of memory is write protected.
When left floating, memory is unprotected.

C BUS PROTOCOL
The following defines the features of the I
2
C bus proto-
col:
(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 CAT34WC02 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.
and define which device the Master is accessing. Up to
eight CAT34WC02 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 CAT34WC02 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address. The
CAT34WC02 then performs a Read or a 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 Acknowledg-
ing device pulls down the SDA line during the ninth clock
cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits of data.
The CAT34WC02 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
byte.
When the CAT34WC02 begins a READ mode, it trans-
mits 8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and monitors
the line for an acknowledge. Once it receives this ac-
knowledge, the CAT34WC02 will continue to transmit
data. If no acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device
terminates data transmission and waits for a STOP
condition.
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The 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
(except when accessing the Write Protect Register) as
1010 for the CAT34WC02 (see Fig. 5). The next three
significant bits (A2, A1, A0) are the device address bits
