Description

The Microchip Technology Incorporated 
24AA1026/24LC1026/24FC1026 (24XX1026*) is a
128K x 8 (1024 Kbit) Serial Electrically Erasable
PROM, capable of operation across a broad voltage
range (1.7V to 5.5V). 

It has been developed for advanced, low-power
applications such as personal communications or data
acquisition. This device has both byte write and page
write capability of up to 128 bytes of data.

This device is capable of both random and sequential
reads. Reads may be sequential within address
boundaries 0000h to FFFFh and 10000h to 1FFFFh.
Functional address lines allow up to four devices on the
same data bus. This allows for up to 4 Mbits total
system EEPROM memory. This device is available in
the standard 8-pin PDIP, SOIC and SOIJ packages.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS

The descriptions of the pins are listed in 

Table 2-1

.

TABLE 2-1:

PIN FUNCTION TABLE

2.1

A1, A2 Chip Address Inputs

The A1 and A2 inputs are used by the 24XX1026 for
multiple device operations. The levels on these inputs
are compared with the corresponding bits in the slave
address. The chip is selected if the comparison is true.

Up to four devices may be connected to the same bus
by using different Chip Select bit combinations. In most
applications, the chip address inputs A1 and A2 are
hard-wired to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’. For applications in
which these pins are controlled by a microcontroller or
other programmable device, the chip address pins
must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’ before normal
device operation can proceed.

2.2

Serial Data (SDA)

This is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and data out of the device. It is an
open-drain terminal, therefore, the SDA bus requires a
pull-up resistor to V

CC

 (typical 10 k

 for 100 kHz, 2 k

for 400 kHz and 1 MHz).

For normal data transfer, SDA is allowed to change
only during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating the Start and Stop conditions.

2.3

Serial Clock (SCL)

This input is used to synchronize the data transfer from
and to the device.

2.4

Write-Protect (WP)

This pin must be connected to either V

SS

 or V

CC

. If tied

to V

SS

, write operations are enabled. If tied to V

CC

,

write operations are inhibited, but read operations are
not affected.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The 24XX1026 supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a device
receiving data as a receiver. The bus must be
controlled by a master device which generates the
Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and
generates the Start and Stop conditions while the
24XX1026 works as a slave. Both master and slave
can operate as a transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.

BUS CHARACTERISTICS

The following bus protocol has been defined:

• Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus 

is not busy.

• During data transfer, the data line must remain 

stable whenever the clock line is high. Changes in 
the data line while the clock line is high will be 
interpreted as a Start or Stop condition.

Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (

Figure 4-1

).

4.1

Bus Not Busy (A)

Both data and clock lines remain high.

4.2

Start Data Transfer (B)

A high-to-low transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Start condition. All
commands must be preceded by a Start condition.

4.3

Stop Data Transfer (C)

A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Stop condition. All
operations must end with a Stop condition.

4.4

Data Valid (D)

The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a Start condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the high period of the clock signal.

The data on the line must be changed during the low
period of the clock signal. There is one bit of data per
clock pulse.

Each data transfer is initiated with a Start condition and
terminated with a Stop condition. The number of the
data bytes transferred between the Start and Stop
conditions is determined by the master device.

4.5

Acknowledge

Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an Acknowledge signal after the reception of
each byte. The master device must generate an extra
clock pulse which is associated with this Acknowledge
bit.  

A device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA
line during the Acknowledge clock pulse in such a way
that the SDA line is stable low during the high period of
the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course, setup
and hold times must be taken into account. During
reads, a master must signal an end of data to the slave
by NOT generating an Acknowledge bit on the last byte
that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the
slave (24XX1026) will leave the data line high to enable
the master to generate the Stop condition.

FIGURE 4-1:

DATA TRANSFER SEQUENCE ON THE SERIAL BUS

FIGURE 4-2:

ACKNOWLEDGE TIMING

Note:

The 24XX1026 does not generate any
Acknowledge bits if an internal
programming cycle is in progress,
however, the control byte that is being
polled must match the control byte used to
initiate the write cycle.

The transmitter must release the SDA line at this
point allowing the receiver to pull the SDA line low

DEVICE ADDRESSING 

A control byte is the first byte received following the
Start condition from the master device (

Figure 5-1

).

The control byte consists of a 4-bit control code; for the
24XX1026, this is set as ‘1010’ binary for read and
write operations. The next two bits of the control byte
are the Chip Select bits (A2, A1). The Chip Select bits
allow the use of up to four 24XX1026 devices on the
same bus and are used to select which device is
accessed. The Chip Select bits in the control byte must
correspond to the logic levels on the corresponding A2
and A1 pins for the device to respond. These bits are in
effect the two Most Significant bits (MSb) of the word
address. The next bit of the control byte is the block
select bit (B0). This bit acts as the A16 address bit for
accessing the entire array.

The last bit of the control byte defines the operation to
be performed. When set to a one, a read operation is
selected, and when set to a zero, a write operation is
selected. The next two bytes received define the
address of the first data byte (

Figure 5-2

). The upper

address bits are transferred first, followed by the Least
Significant bits (LSb). 

Following the Start condition, the 24XX1026 monitors
the SDA bus checking the device type identifier being
transmitted. Upon receiving a ‘1010’ code and
appropriate device select bits, the slave device outputs
an Acknowledge signal on the SDA line. Depending on
the state of the R/W bit, the 24XX1026 will select a read
or write operation.

This device has an internal addressing boundary
limitation that is divided into two segments of 512K bits.
Block select bit ‘B0’ is used to control access to each
segment.

FIGURE 5-1:

CONTROL BYTE 
FORMAT

5.1

Contiguous Addressing Across 
Multiple Devices

The Chip Select bits A2 and A1 can be used to expand
the contiguous address space for up to 4 Mbit by
adding up to four 24XX1026’s on the same bus. In this
case, software can use A1 of the control byte as
address bit A17 and A2 as address bit A18. It is not
possible to sequentially read across device
boundaries.

Each device has internal addressing boundary
limitations. This divides each part into two segments of
512K bits. The block select bit ‘B0’ controls access to
each “half”.

Sequential read operations are limited to 512K blocks.
To read through four devices on the same bus, eight
random Read commands must be given.

WRITE OPERATIONS

6.1

Byte Write

Following the Start condition from the master, the
control code (four bits), the Chip Select (two bits), the
block select (one bit), and the R/W bit (which is a logic
low) are clocked onto the bus by the master transmitter.
This indicates to the addressed slave receiver that the
address high byte will follow after it has generated an
Acknowledge bit during the ninth clock cycle.
Therefore, the next byte transmitted by the master is
the high-order byte of the word address and will be
written into the Address Pointer of the 24XX1026. The
next byte is the Least Significant Address Byte. After
receiving another Acknowledge signal from the
24XX1026, the master device will transmit the data
word to be written into the addressed memory location.
The 24XX1026 acknowledges again and the master
generates a Stop condition. This initiates the internal
write cycle and during this time, the 24XX1026 will not
generate Acknowledge signals as long as the control
byte being polled matches the control byte that was
used to initiate the write (

Figure 6-1

). If an attempt is

made to write to the array with the WP pin held high, the
device will acknowledge the command, but no write
cycle will occur, no data will be written and the device
will immediately accept a new command. After a byte
Write command, the internal address counter will point
to the address location following the one that was just
written.

6.2

Page Write

The write control byte, word address and the first data
byte are transmitted to the 24XX1026 in the same way
as in a byte write. But instead of generating a Stop
condition, the master transmits up to 127 additional
bytes, which are temporarily stored in the on-chip page
buffer and will be written into memory after the master
has transmitted a Stop condition. After receipt of each
word, the seven lower Address Pointer bits are
internally incremented by one. If the master should
transmit more than 128 bytes prior to generating the
Stop condition, the address counter will roll over and
the previously received data will be overwritten. As with
the byte write operation, once the Stop condition is
received, an internal write cycle will begin (

Figure 6-2

).

If an attempt is made to write to the array with the WP
pin held high, the device will acknowledge the
command, but no write cycle will occur, no data will be
written and the device will immediately accept a new
command.

6.3

Write Protection

The WP pin allows the user to write-protect the entire
array (00000-1FFFF) when the pin is tied to V

CC

. If tied

to V

SS

 the write protection is disabled. The WP pin is

sampled at the Stop bit for every Write command
(

Figure 1-1

). Toggling the WP pin after the Stop bit will

have no effect on the execution of the write cycle.

Note:

When doing a write of less than 128 bytes
the data in the rest of the page is
refreshed along with the data bytes being
written. This will force the entire page to
endure a write cycle, for this reason
endurance is specified per page.

Note:

Page write operations are limited to
writing bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes
actually being written. Physical page
boundaries start at addresses that are
integer multiples of the page buffer size
(or ‘page size’) and end at addresses that
are integer multiples of [page size – 1]. If
a Page Write command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to the
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page as might be
expected. It is therefore necessary for the
application software to prevent page write
operations that would attempt to cross a
page boundary.
