24LC164 ds21093d-page 4 1995 microchip technology inc. 2.0 functional description the 24LC164 supports a bidirectional two wire bus and data transmission protocol. a device that sends data onto the bus is de?ed as transmitter, and a device receiving data as receiver. the bus has to be con- trolled by a master device which generates the serial clock (scl), controls the bus access, and generates the start and stop conditions, while the 24LC164 works as slave. both, master and slave can operate as transmitter or receiver but the master device deter- mines which mode is activated. 3.0 bus characteristics the following bus protocol has been de?ed: 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 de?ed (see figure 3-1). 3.1 bus not busy (a) both data and clock lines remain high. 3.2 star t data t ransf er (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 condi- tion. 3.3 stop data t ransf er (c) a low to high transition of the sda line while the clock (scl) is high determines a stop condition. all operations must be ended with a stop condition. 3.4 data v alid (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 clock pulse per bit of data. 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 and is theoretically unlimited, although only the last six- teen will be stored when doing a write operation. when an overwrite does occur it will replace data in a ?st in ?st out fashion. 3.5 ac kno wledg e each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. the master device must generate an extra clock pulse which is associated with this acknowledge bit. the device that acknowledges, has to 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 (24LC164) will leave the data line high to enable the master to generate the stop condition. note: the 24LC164 does not generate any acknowledge bits if an internal program- ming cycle is in progress. figure 3-1: data transfer sequence on the serial bus scl sda (a) (b) (d) (d) (c) (a) start condition address

1995 microchip technology inc. ds21093d-page 5 24LC164 4.0 bus characteristics 4.1 de vice ad dressing and operation a control byte is the ?st byte received following the start condition from the master device. the ?st bit is always a one. the next three bits of the control byte are the device select bits (a2, a1, a0). they are used to select which of the eight devices are to be accessed. the a1 bit must be the inverse of the a1 device select pin. the next three bits of the control byte are the block select bits (b2, b1, b0). they are used by the master device to select which of the eight 256 word blocks of memory are to be accessed. these bits are in effect the three most signi?ant bits of the word address. the last bit of the control byte de?es the operation to be performed. when set to one a read operation is selected, when set to zero a write operation is selected. following the start condition, the 24LC164 looks for the slave address for the device selected. depending on the state of the r/w bit, the 24LC164 will select a read or write operation. figure 4-1: control byte allocation operation control code block select r/w read 1 a2 a1 a0 block address 1 write 1 a2 a1 a0 block address 0 start read/write slave address r/w 1 a2a1a0b2b1b0 a msb lsb 5.0 write operation 5.1 byte write following the start condition from the master, the device code (4 bits), the block address (3 bits), and the r/w bit which is a logic low is placed onto the bus by the master transmitter. this indicates to the addressed slave receiver that a byte with a word address will fol- low after it has generated an acknowledge bit during the ninth clock cycle. therefore the next byte transmit- ted by the master is the word address and will be writ- ten into the address pointer of the 24LC164. after receiving another acknowledge signal from the 24LC164 the master device will transmit the data word to be written into the addressed memory location. the 24LC164 acknowledges again and the master gener- ates a stop condition. this initiates the internal write cycle, and during this time the 24LC164 will not gener- ate acknowledge signals (see figure 5-1). 5.2 p a g e write the write control byte, word address and the ?st data byte are transmitted to the 24LC164 in the same way as in a byte write. but instead of generating a stop con- dition the master transmits up to sixteen data bytes to the 24LC164 which are temporarily stored in the on- chip page buffer and will be written into the memory after the master has transmitted a stop condition. after the receipt of each word, the four lower order address pointer bits are internally incremented by one. the higher order seven bits of the word address remains constant. if the master should transmit more than six- teen words 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 inter- nal write cycle will begin (see figure 8-1). figure 5-1: byte write s

24LC164 ds21093d-page 6 1995 microchip technology inc. 6.0 acknowledge polling since the device will not acknowledge during a write cycle, this can be used to determine when the cycle is complete (this feature can be used to maximize bus throughput). once the stop condition for a write com- mand has been issued from the master, the device ini- tiates the internally timed write cycle. ack polling can be initiated immediately. this involves the master sending a start condition followed by the control byte for a write command (r/w = 0). if the device is still busy with the write cycle, then no ack will be returned. if the cycle is complete, then the device will return the ack and the master can then proceed with the next read or write command. see figure 6-1 for ?w dia- gram. figure 6-1: acknowledge polling flow send

1995 microchip technology inc. ds21093d-page 7 24LC164 8.3 sequential read sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a ran- dom read except that after the 24LC164 transmits the ?st data byte, the master issues an acknowledge as opposed to a stop condition in a random read. this directs the 24LC164 to transmit the next sequentially addressed 8 bit word (see figure 9-3). to provide sequential reads the 24LC164 contains an internal address pointer which is incremented by one at the completion of each operation. this address pointer allows an entire device memory contents to be serially read during one operation. 8.4 noise pr otection the 24LC164 employs a v cc threshold detector circuit which disables the internal erase/write logic if the v cc is below 1.5 volts at nominal conditions. the scl and sda inputs have schmitt trigger and ?ter circuits which suppress noise spikes to assure proper device operation even on a noisy bus. 9.0 pin descriptions 9.1 sd a serial ad dress/data input/output 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 pullup resistor to v cc (typical 10k w for 100 khz, 1k w for 400 khz). 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 condi- tions. 9.2 scl serial cloc k this input is used to synchronize the data transfer from and to the device. 9.3 wp this pin must be connected to either v ss or v cc . if tied to v ss , normal memory operation is enabled (read/write the entire memory 000-7ff). if tied to v cc , write operations are inhibited. the entire memory will be write-protected. read opera- tions are not affected. this feature allows the user to use the 24LC164 as a serial rom when wp is enabled (tied to v cc ). 9.4 a0, a1, a2 these pins are used to con?ure the proper chip address in multiple-chip applications (more than one 24LC164 on the same bus). the levels on these pins are compared to the corresponding bits in the slave address. the chip is selected if the compare is true. up to eight 24LC164s may be connected to the same bus. these pins must be connected to either v ss or v cc . note: the level on a1 is compared to the inverse of the slave address.
