1K/2K/4K/8K-bit
Serial EEPROM
with software write protect
Data Sheet
OVERVIEW
The S524C20D10/20D20/80D40/80D80 serial EEPROM has a 1,024/2,048/4,096/8,192-bit (128/256/512/1,024-
byte) capacity, supporting the standard I
2
C™-bus serial interface. It is fabricated using Samsung’ most
s
advanced CMOS technology. Important features are a hardware-based write protection circuit for the entire
memory area and software-based write protection logic for the lower 128 bytes. Hardware-based write protection
is controlled by the state of the write-protect (WP) pin. The software-based method is one-time programmable
and permanent. Using one-page write mode, you can load up to 16 bytes of data into the EEPROM in a single
write operation. Another significant feature of the S524C20D10/20D20/80D40/80D80 is its support for fast mode
and standard mode.

Description
Input pins for device address selection. To configure a device address,
these pins should be connected to the V

Ground pin.
Bi-directional data pin for the I

C-bus serial data interface. Schmitt
trigger input and open-drain output. An external pull-up resistor must
be connected to V
CC.
Typical values for this pull-up resistor are 4.7 kΩ
(100 kHz) and 1 kΩ (400 kHz).
Schmitt trigger input pin for serial clock input.
Input pin for hardware write protection control. If you tie this pin to V
CC,
the write function is disabled to protect previously written data in the
entire memory; if you tie it to V
SS
, the write function is enabled.
Single power supply.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
I

C-BUS INTERFACE
The S524C20D10/20D20/80D40/80D80 supports the I
2
C-bus serial interface data transmission protocol. The two-
wire bus consists of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The SDA and the SCL lines must be
connected to V
CC
by a pull-up resistor that is located somewhere on the bus.
Any device that puts data onto the bus is defined as the “transmitter” and any device that gets data from the bus
is the “receiver.” The bus is controlled by a master device which generates the serial clock and start/stop
conditions, controlling bus access. Using the A0,A1 and A2 input pins, up to eight S524C20D10/20D20 (four for
S524C80D40, two for S524C80D80) devices can be connected to the same I
2
C-bus as slaves (see Figure 4-6).
Both the master and slaves can operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master device determines which bus
operating mode would be active.
