24AA08H/24LC08BH
2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24XX08H supports a bidirectional, 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter, while a device
receiving data is defined as a receiver. The bus has to
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
24XX08H works as slave. Both master and slave can
operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
3.0 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 3-1).
3.1 Bus Not Busy (A)
Both data and clock lines remain high.
3.2 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.
3.3 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 be ended with a Stop condition.
3.4 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 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 sixteen
will be stored when doing a write operation. When an
overwrite does occur it will replace data in a first-in first-
out (FIFO) fashion.
3.5 Acknowledge
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 (24XX08H) will leave the data
line high to enable the master to generate the Stop
condition.
FIGURE 3-1: DATA TRANSFER SEQUENCE ON THE SERIAL BUS
Note: The 24XX08H does not generate any
Acknowledge bits if an internal program-
ming cycle is in progress.

3.6 Device Addressing
A control byte is the first byte received following the
Start condition from the master device (Figure 3-2).
The control byte consists of a four-bit control code. For
the 24XX08H, this is set as ‘1010 binary for read and
write operations. The next three bits of the control byte
are the block-select bits (B2, B1, B0). B2 is a “don’t
care” for the 24XX08H. They are used by the master
device to select which of the four 256 word-blocks of
memory are to be accessed. These bits are in effect the
three Most Significant bits of the word address.
The last bit of the control byte defines the operation to
be performed. When set to ‘1’ a read operation is
selected. When set to ‘0’ a write operation is selected.
Following the Start condition, the 24XX08H monitors
the SDA bus, checking the device type identifier being
transmitted and, upon receiving a ‘1010 code, the
slave device outputs an Acknowledge signal on the
SDA line. Depending on the state of the R/W bit, the
24XX08H will select a read or write operation.

4.0 WRITE OPERATION
4.1 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
follow once 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
written into the Address Pointer of the 24XX08H. After
receiving another Acknowledge signal from the
24XX08H, the master device will transmit the data word
to be written into the addressed memory location. The
24XX08H acknowledges again and the master
generates a Stop condition. This initiates the internal
write cycle and, during this time, the 24XX08H will not
generate Acknowledge signals (Figure 4-1).
4.2 Page Write
The write control byte, word address and the first data
byte are transmitted to the 24XX08H in the same way
as in a byte write. However, instead of generating a
Stop condition, the master transmits up to 16 data bytes
to the 24XX08H, which are temporarily stored in the on-
chip page buffer and will be written into memory once
the master has transmitted a Stop condition. Upon
receipt of each word, the four lower-order Address
Pointer bits are internally incremented by ‘1’. The
higher-order 7 bits of the word address remain
constant. If the master should transmit more than 16
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
internal write cycle will begin (Figure 4-2).
FIGURE 4-1: BYTE WRITE
FIGURE 4-2: PAGE WRITE
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.

5.0 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
command has been issued from the master, the device
initiates the internally-timed write cycle and ACK polling
can then 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, no ACK will be returned. If the
cycle is complete, the device will return the ACK and
the master can then proceed with the next Read or
Write command. See Figure 5-1 for a flow diagram of
this operation.

6.0 WRITE PROTECTION
The WP pin allows the user to write-protect half of the

24AA08H/24LC08BH
7.0 READ OPERATION
Read operations are initiated in the same way as write
operations, with the exception that the R/W bit of the
slave address is set to1’. There are three basic types
of read operations: current address read, random read
and sequential read.
7.1 Current Address Read
The 24XX08H contains an address counter that main-
tains the address of the last word accessed, internally
incremented by ‘1’. Therefore, if the previous access
(either a read or write operation) was to address n, the
next current address read operation would access data
from address n + 1. Upon receipt of the slave address
with R/W bit set to ‘1’, the 24XX08H issues an acknowl-
edge and transmits the 8-bit data word. The master will
not acknowledge the transfer, but does generate a Stop
condition and the 24XX08H discontinues transmission
(Figure 7-1).
7.2 Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access
any memory location in a random manner. To perform
this type of read operation, the word address must first
be set. This is accomplished by sending the word
address to the 24XX08H as part of a write operation.
Once the word address is sent, the master generates a
Start condition following the acknowledge. This
terminates the write operation, but not before the
internal Address Pointer is set. The master then issues
the control byte again, but with the R/W bit set to a ‘1’.
The 24XX08H will then issue an acknowledge and
transmit the 8-bit data word. The master will not
acknowledge the transfer, but does generate a Stop
condition and the 24XX08H will discontinue transmis-
sion (Figure 7-2).
7.3 Sequential Read
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read, except that once the 24XX08H transmits
the first data byte, the master issues an acknowledge
as opposed to a Stop condition in a random read. This
directs the 24XX08H to transmit the next sequentially-
addressed 8-bit word (Figure 7-3).
To provide sequential reads, the 24XX08H contains an
internal Address Pointer that is incremented by one
upon completion of each operation. This Address
Pointer allows the entire memory contents to be serially
read during one operation.
7.4 Noise Protection
The 24XX08H employs a VCC threshold detector circuit
which disables the internal erase/write logic if the VCC
is below 1.5V at nominal conditions.
The SCL and SDA inputs have Schmitt Trigger and
filter circuits which suppress noise spikes to assure
proper device operation, even on a noisy bus.

8.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 8-1.
TABLE 8-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
8.1 Serial Address/Data Input/Output
(SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and out of the device. Since it is an open-
drain terminal, the SDA bus requires a pull-up resistor
to VCC (typical 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2 kΩ for 400 kHz).
For normal data transfer, SDA is allowed to change
only during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating Start and Stop conditions.
8.2 Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to synchronize the data transfer
to and from the device.
8.3 Write-Protect (WP)
The WP pin must be connected to either VSS or VCC.
If tied to VSS, normal memory operation is enabled
(read/write the entire memory 000-03FF).
If tied to VCC, write operations are inhibited, half of the
memory will be write-protected (200h-3FFh). Read
operations are not affected.
8.4 A0, A1, A2
The A0, A1 and A2 pins are not used by the 24XX08H.
They may be left floating or tied to either VSS or VCC.

, the marking will only appear on the outer carton or reel label.
Note: In the event the full Microchip part number cannot be marked on one line, it will
be carried over to the next line, thus limiting the number of available
characters for customer-specific information.

*Standard OTP marking consists of Microchip part number, year code, week code, and traceability code.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
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.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2002 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
