Note: 
1. The exposed pad on this package can be connected to GND or left floating.
2. If the A0, A1, A2 or WP pins are not driven, they are internally pulled down to GND. In order to
operate in a wide variety of application environments, the pulldown mechanism is intentionally
designed to be somewhat strong. Once these pins are biased above the CMOS input buffer’s trip
point (~0.5 x VCC), the pulldown mechanism disengages. Microchip recommends connecting these
pins to a known state whenever possible.
2.1 Device Address Inputs (A0, A1, A2)
The A0, A1 and A2 pins are device address inputs that are hard-wired (directly to GND or to VCC) for
compatibility with other two-wire Serial EEPROM devices. When the pins are hard-wired, as many as
eight devices may be addressed on a single bus system. A device is selected when a corresponding
hardware and software match is true. If these pins are left floating, the A0, A1 and A2 pins will be
internally pulled down to GND. However, due to capacitive coupling that may appear in customer
applications, Microchip recommends always connecting the address pins to a known state. When using a
pullup resistor, Microchip recommends using 10 kΩ or less.
2.2 Ground
The ground reference for the power supply. GND should be connected to the system ground.
2.3 Serial Data (SDA)
The SDA pin is an open-drain bidirectional input/output pin used to serially transfer data to and from the
device. The SDA pin must be pulled high using an external pull-up resistor (not to exceed 10 kΩ in value)
and may be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or open-collector pins from other devices on
the same bus.

2.4 Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL pin is used to provide a clock to the device and to control the flow of data to and from the
device. Command and input data present on the SDA pin is always latched in on the rising edge of SCL,
while output data on the SDA pin is clocked out on the falling edge of SCL. The SCL pin must either be
forced high when the serial bus is idle or pulled high using an external pull-up resistor.
2.5 Write-Protect (WP)
The write-protect input, when connected to GND, allows normal write operations. When the WP pin is
connected directly to VCC, all write operations to the protected memory are inhibited.
If the pin is left floating, the WP pin will be internally pulled down to GND. However, due to capacitive
coupling that may appear in customer applications, Microchip recommends always connecting the WP
pin to a known state. When using a pullup resistor, Microchip recommends using 10 kΩ or less.

4.5 Electrical Specifications
4.5.1 Power-Up Requirements and Reset Behavior
During a power-up sequence, the VCC supplied to the AT24C512C should monotonically rise from GND to
the minimum VCC level, as specified in Table 4-1, with a slew rate no faster than 0.1 V/µs.
4.5.1.1 Device Reset
To prevent inadvertent write operations or any other spurious events from occurring during a power-up
sequence, the AT24C512C includes a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit. Upon power-up, the device will not
respond to any commands until the VCC level crosses the internal voltage threshold (VPOR) that brings the
device out of Reset and into Standby mode.
The system designer must ensure the instructions are not sent to the device until the VCC supply has
reached a stable value greater than or equal to the minimum VCC level. Additionally, once the VCC is
greater than or equal to the minimum VCC level, the bus master must wait at least tPUP before sending the
first command to the device. See Table 4-4 for the values associated with these power-up parameters.

Note: 
1. These parameters are characterized but they are not 100% tested in production.
If an event occurs in the system where the VCC level supplied to the AT24C512C drops below the
maximum VPOR level specified, it is recommended that a full power cycle sequence be performed by first
driving the VCC pin to GND, waiting at least the minimum tPOFF time and then performing a new power-up
sequence in compliance with the requirements defined in this section.

5. Device Operation and Communication
The AT24C512C operates as a slave device and utilizes a simple I2C-compatible two-wire digital serial
interface to communicate with a host controller, commonly referred to as the bus master. The master
initiates and controls all read and write operations to the slave devices on the serial bus, and both the
master and the slave devices can transmit and receive data on the bus.
The serial interface is comprised of just two signal lines: Serial Clock (SCL) and Serial Data (SDA).
The SCL pin is used to receive the clock signal from the master, while the bidirectional SDA pin is used to
receive command and data information from the master as well as to send data back to the master.
Data is always latched into the AT24C512C on the rising edge of SCL and always output from the device
on the falling edge of SCL. Both the SCL and SDA pins incorporate integrated spike suppression filters
and Schmitt Triggers to minimize the effects of input spikes and bus noise.
All command and data information is transferred with the Most Significant bit (MSb) first. During bus
communication, one data bit is transmitted every clock cycle, and after eight bits (one byte) of data have
been transferred, the receiving device must respond with either an Acknowledge (ACK) or a
No-Acknowledge (NACK) response bit during a ninth clock cycle (ACK/NACK clock cycle) generated by
the master. Therefore, nine clock cycles are required for every one byte of data transferred. There are no
unused clock cycles during any read or write operation, so there must not be any interruptions or breaks
in the data stream during each data byte transfer and ACK or NACK clock cycle.
During data transfers, data on the SDA pin must only change while SCL is low, and the data must remain
stable while SCL is high. If data on the SDA pin changes while SCL is high, then either a Start or a Stop
condition will occur. Start and Stop conditions are used to initiate and end all serial bus communication
between the master and the slave devices. The number of data bytes transferred between a Start and a
Stop condition is not limited and is determined by the master. In order for the serial bus to be idle, both
the SCL and SDA pins must be in the logic-high state at the same time.
5.1 Clock and Data Transition Requirements
The SDA pin is an open-drain terminal and therefore must be pulled high with an external pullup resistor.
SCL is an input pin that can either be driven high or pulled high using an external pullup resistor. Data on
the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods. Data changes during SCL high periods will
indicate a Start or Stop condition as defined below. The relationship of the AC timing parameters with
respect to SCL and SDA for the AT24C512C are shown in the timing waveform in Figure 4-1. The AC
timing characteristics and specifications are outlined in AC Characteristics.
5.2 Start and Stop Conditions
5.2.1 Start Condition
A Start condition occurs when there is a high-to-low transition on the SDA pin while the SCL pin is at a
stable logic ‘1’ state and will bring the device out of Standby mode. The master uses a Start condition to
initiate any data transfer sequence; therefore, every command must begin with a Start condition.
The device will continuously monitor the SDA and SCL pins for a Start condition but will not respond
unless one is detected. Refer to Figure 5-1 for more details.
5.2.2 Stop Condition
A Stop condition occurs when there is a low-to-high transition on the SDA pin while the SCL pin is stable
in the logic ‘1’ state.
AT24C512C
Device Operation and Communication
© 2019 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20006161A-page 13
The master can use the Stop condition to end a data transfer sequence with the AT24C512C, which will
subsequently return to Standby mode. The master can also utilize a repeated Start condition instead of a
Stop condition to end the current data transfer if the master will perform another operation. Refer to
Figure 5-1 for more details.
5.3 Acknowledge and No-Acknowledge
After every byte of data is received, the receiving device must confirm to the transmitting device that it
has successfully received the data byte by responding with what is known as an Acknowledge (ACK).
An ACK is accomplished by the transmitting device first releasing the SDA line at the falling edge of the
eighth clock cycle, followed by the receiving device responding with a logic ‘0’ during the entire high
period of the ninth clock cycle.
When the AT24C512C is transmitting data to the master, the master can indicate that it is done receiving
data and wants to end the operation by sending a logic ‘1’ response to the AT24C512C instead of an
ACK response during the ninth clock cycle. This is known as a No-Acknowledge (NACK) and is
accomplished by the master sending a logic ‘1’ during the ninth clock cycle, at which point the
AT24C512C will release the SDA line so the master can then generate a Stop condition.
The transmitting device, which can be the bus master or the Serial EEPROM, must release the SDA line
at the falling edge of the eighth clock cycle to allow the receiving device to drive the SDA line to a logic ‘0
to ACK the previous 8-bit word. The receiving device must release the SDA line at the end of the ninth
clock cycle to allow the transmitter to continue sending new data. A timing diagram has been provided in
Figure 5-1 to better illustrate these requirements.

5.4 Standby Mode
The AT24C512C features a lowpower Standby mode that is enabled when any one of the following
occurs:
A valid power-up sequence is performed (see Power-Up Requirements and Reset Behavior).
A Stop condition is received by the device unless it initiates an internal write cycle (see Write
Operations).
At the completion of an internal write cycle (see Write Operations).

5.5 Software Reset
After an interruption in protocol, power loss or system Reset, any twowire device can be protocol reset
by clocking SCL until SDA is released by the EEPROM and goes high. The number of clock cycles until
SDA is released by the EEPROM will vary. The software Reset sequence should not take more than nine
dummy clock cycles. Once the software Reset sequence is complete, new protocol can be sent to the
device by sending a Start condition followed by the protocol. Refer to Figure 5-2 for an illustration.

6. Memory Organization
The AT24C512C is internally organized as 512 pages of 128 bytes each.
6.1 Device Addressing
Accessing the device requires an 8bit device address byte following a Start condition to enable the
device for a read or write operation. Since multiple slave devices can reside on the serial bus, each slave
device must have its own unique address so the master can access each device independently.
The Most Significant four bits of the device address byte is referred to as the device type identifier. The
device type identifier ‘1010’ (Ah) is required in bits 7 through 4 of the device address byte (see Table
6-1).
Following the 4-bit device type identifier are the hardware slave address bits, A2, A1 and A0. These bits
can be used to expand the address space by allowing up to eight Serial EEPROM devices on the same
bus. These hardware slave address bits must correlate with the voltage level on the corresponding
hardwired device address input pins A0, A1 and A2. The A0, A1 and A2 pins use an internal proprietary
circuit that automatically biases the pin to a logic ‘0’ state if the pin is allowed to float. In order to operate
in a wide variety of application environments, the pulldown mechanism is intentionally designed to be
somewhat strong. Once the pin is biased above the CMOS input buffer's trip point (~0.5 x VCC), the
pulldown mechanism disengages. Microchip recommends connecting the A0, A1 and A2 pins to a known
state whenever possible.
The eighth bit (bit 0) of the device address byte is the Read/Write Select bit. A read operation is initiated if
this bit is high and a write operation is initiated if this bit is low.
Upon the successful comparison of the device address byte, the AT24C512C will return an ACK. If a valid
comparison is not made, the device will NACK.
Table 6-1. Device Address Byte

SOIC, SOIJ, TSSOP,
UDFN, VFBGA, WLCSP
1 0 1 0 A2 A1 A0 R/W
For all operations except the current address read, two 8bit word address bytes must be transmitted to
the device immediately following the device address byte. The word address bytes consist of the 16bit
memory array word address, and are used to specify which byte location in the EEPROM to start reading
or writing.
The first word address byte contains the eight Most Significant bits of the word address (A15 through A8)
in bit positions seven through zero, as seen in Table 6-2. Upon completion of the first word address byte,
the AT24C512C will return an ACK.

Next, the second word address byte is sent to the device which provides the remaining eight bits of the
word address (A7 through A0). Upon completion of the second word address byte, the AT24C512C will
return an ACK. See Table 6-3 to review these bit positions.

7. Write Operations
All write operations for the AT24C512C begin with the master sending a Start condition, followed by a
device address byte with the R/W bit set to logic ‘0’, and then by the word address bytes. The data
value(s) to be written to the device immediately follow the word address bytes.
7.1 Byte Write
The AT24C512C supports the writing of a single 8-bit byte. Selecting a data word in the AT24C512C
requires a 16-bit word address.
Upon receipt of the proper device address and the word address bytes, the EEPROM will send an
Acknowledge. The device will then be ready to receive the 8-bit data word. Following receipt of the 8bit
data word, the EEPROM will respond with an ACK. The addressing device, such as a bus master, must
then terminate the write operation with a Stop condition. At that time, the EEPROM will enter an internally
self-timed write cycle, which will be completed within tWR, while the data word is being programmed into
the nonvolatile EEPROM. All inputs are disabled during this write cycle, and the EEPROM will not
respond until the write is complete.

7.2 Page Write
A page write operation allows up to 128 bytes to be written in the same write cycle, provided all bytes are
in the same row of the memory array (where address bits A15 through A7 are the same). Partial page
writes of less than 128 bytes are also allowed.
A page write is initiated the same way as a byte write, but the bus master does not send a Stop condition
after the first data word is clocked in. Instead, after the EEPROM acknowledges receipt of the first data
word, the bus master can transmit up to 127 additional data words. The EEPROM will respond with an
ACK after each data word is received. Once all data to be written has been sent to the device, the bus
master must issue a Stop condition (see Figure 7-2) at which time the internally self-timed write cycle will
begin.

Write Operations

The lower seven bits of the word address are internally incremented following the receipt of each data
word. The higher order address bits are not incremented and retain the memory page row location. Page
write operations are limited to writing bytes within a single physical page, regardless of the number of
bytes actually being written. When the incremented word address reaches the page boundary, the
address counter will roll-over to the beginning of the same page. Nevertheless, creating a rollover event
should be avoided as previously loaded data in the page could become unintentionally altered.

7.3 Acknowledge Polling
An Acknowledge Polling routine can be implemented to optimize time-sensitive applications that would
prefer not to wait the fixed maximum write cycle time (tWR). This method allows the application to know
immediately when the Serial EEPROM write cycle has completed, so a subsequent operation can be
started.
Once the internally self-timed write cycle has started, an Acknowledge Polling routine can be initiated.
This involves repeatedly sending a Start condition followed by a valid device address byte with the R/W
bit set at logic ‘0’. The device will not respond with an ACK while the write cycle is ongoing. Once the
internal write cycle has completed, the EEPROM will respond with an ACK, allowing a new read or write
operation to be immediately initiated. A flowchart has been included below in Figure 7-3 to better illustrate
this technique.

7.4 Write Cycle Timing
The length of the self-timed write cycle (tWR) is defined as the amount of time from the Stop condition that
begins the internal write cycle to the Start condition of the first device address byte sent to the
AT24C512C that it subsequently responds to with an ACK. Figure 7-4 has been included to show this
measurement. During the internally self-timed write cycle, any attempts to read from or write to the
memory array will not be processed.

7.5 Write Protection
The AT24C512C utilizes a hardware data protection scheme that allows the user to writeprotect the
entire memory contents when the WP pin is at VCC (or a valid VIH). No write protection will be set if the
WP pin is at GND or left floating.
Table 7-1. AT24C512C Write-Protect Behavior
WP Pin Voltage Part of the Array Protected
VCC Full Array
GND None Write Protection Not Enabled
The status of the WP pin is sampled at the Stop condition for every byte write or page write operation
prior to the start of an internally selftimed write cycle. Changing the WP pin state after the Stop condition
has been sent will not alter or interrupt the execution of the write cycle.
If an attempt is made to write to the device while the WP pin has been asserted, the device will
acknowledge the device address, word address and data bytes, but no write cycle will occur when the
Stop condition is issued. The device will immediately be ready to accept a new read or write command.

8. Read Operations
Read operations are initiated the same way as write operations with the exception that the Read/Write
Select bit in the device address byte must be a logic ‘1’. There are three read operations:
Current Address Read
Random Address Read
Sequential Read
8.1 Current Address Read
The internal data word address counter maintains the last address accessed during the last read or write
operation, incremented by one. This address stays valid between operations as long as the VCC is
maintained to the part. The address roll-over during a read is from the last byte of the last page to the first
byte of the first page of the memory.
A current address read operation will output data according to the location of the internal data word
address counter. This is initiated with a Start condition, followed by a valid device address byte with the
R/W bit set to logic ‘1’. The device will ACK this sequence and the current address data word is serially
clocked out on the SDA line. All types of read operations will be terminated if the bus master does not
respond with an ACK (it NACKs) during the ninth clock cycle. After the NACK response, the master may
send a Stop condition to complete the protocol, or it can send a Start condition to begin the next
sequence.

8.2 Random Read
A random read begins in the same way as a byte write operation does to load in a new data word
address. This is known as a “dummy write” sequence; however, the data byte and the Stop condition of
the byte write must be omitted to prevent the part from entering an internal write cycle. Once the device
address and word address are clocked in and acknowledged by the EEPROM, the bus master must
generate another Start condition. The bus master now initiates a current address read by sending a Start
condition, followed by a valid device address byte with the R/W bit set to logic ‘1’. The EEPROM will ACK
the device address and serially clock out the data word on the SDA line. All types of read operations will
be terminated if the bus master does not respond with an ACK (it NACKs) during the ninth clock cycle.
After the NACK response, the master may send a Stop condition to complete the protocol, or it can send
a Start condition to begin the next sequence.

8.3 Sequential Read
Sequential reads are initiated by either a current address read or a random read. After the bus master
receives a data word, it responds with an Acknowledge. As long as the EEPROM receives an ACK, it will
continue to increment the word address and serially clock out sequential data words. When the maximum
memory address is reached, the data word address will roll-over and the sequential read will continue
from the beginning of the memory array. All types of read operations will be terminated if the bus master
does not respond with an ACK (it NACKs) during the ninth clock cycle. After the NACK response, the
master may send a Stop condition to complete the protocol, or it can send a Start condition to begin the
next sequence.

Microchip Devices Code Protection Feature
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
AT24C512C
© 2019 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20006161A-page 40
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the
market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of
these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the
operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is
engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their
code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the
code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a
violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software
or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
