■Fast / Standard Modes
Fast mode and Standard mode differ only in operation frequency. Operations performed at 100kHz are considered in
"Standard-mode", while those conducted at 400kHz are in "Fast-mode".
Please note that these clock frequencies are maximum values. At lower power supply voltage it is difficult to operate at high speeds.
The EEPROM can operate at 400kHz, between 2.5V and 3.6V, and at 100kHz from 1.7V-2.5V.

○For WRITE operation, WP must be "Low" from the rising edge of the
clock (which takes in D0 of first byte) until the end of tWR. (See
Fig.1-(d) ) During this period, WRITE operation can be canceled by
setting WP "High".（See Fig.1-(e)）
○When WP is set to "High" during tWR, WRITE operation is
immediately ceased, making the data unreliable. It must then be
re-written.

●Data transfer on the I2C BUS
○Data transfer on the I2C BUS
The BUS is considered to be busy after the START condition and free a certain time after the STOP condition.
Every SDA byte must be 8-bits long and requires an ACKNOWLEDGE signal after each byte. The devices have Master
and Slave configurations. The Master device initiates and ends data transfer on the BUS and generates the clock signals
in order to permit transfer.
The EEPROM in a slave configuration is controlled by a unique address. Devices transmitting data are referred to as the
Transmitter. The devices receiving the data are called Receiver.
○START Condition (Recognition of the START bit)
・All commands are proceeded by the start condition, which is a High to Low transition of SDA when SCL is High.
・The device continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to any command
until this condition has been met. (See Fig.1-(b) START/STOP Bit Timing)
○STOP Condition (Recognition of STOP bit)
・All communications must be terminated by a stop condition, which is a Low to High transition of SDA when SCL is High.
(See Fig.1-(b) START/STOP Bit Timing)
○Write Protect By Soft Ware
・Set Write Protect command and permanent set Write Protect command set data of 00h～7Fh in 256 words write
protection block. Clear Write Protect command can cancel write protection block which is set by set write Protect
command. Cancel of write protection block which is set by permanent set Write Protect command at once is
impossibility. When these commands are carried out, WP pin must be OPEN or GND.
○Acknowledge
・Acknowledge is a software used to indicate successful data transfers. The Transmitter device will release the BUS after
transmitting eight bits. When inputting the slave address during write or read operation, the Transmitter is the µ-COM.
When outputting the data during read operation, the Transmitter is the EEPROM.
・During the ninth clock cycle the Receiver will pull the SDA line Low to verify that the eight bits of data have been
received. (When inputting the slave address during write or read operation, EEPROM is the receiver. When outputting
the data during read operation the receiver is the µ-COM.)
・The device will respond with an Acknowledge after recognition of a START condition and its slave address (8bit).
・In WRITE mode, the device will respond with an Acknowledge after the receipt of each subsequent 8-bit word (word
address and write data).
・In READ mode, the device will transmit eight bits of data, release the SDA line, and monitor the line for an Acknowledge.
・If an Acknowledge is detected and no STOP condition is generated by the Master, the device will continue to transmit
the data. If an Acknowledge is not detected, the device will terminate further data transmissions and await a STOP
condition before returning to standby mode.
○Device Addressing
・Following a START condition, the Master outputs the Slave address to be accessed. The most significant four bits of the
slave address are the “device type indentifier.” For this EEPROM it is “1010.
” (For WP register access this code is "0110".)
・The next three bits identify the specified device on the BUS (device address).
The device address is defined by the state of the A0,A1 and A2 input pins. This IC works only when the device address
input from the SDA pin corresponds to the status of the A0,A1 and A2 input pins. Using this address scheme allows up
to eight devices to be connected to the BUS.
・The last bit of the stream (R/W…READ/WRITE) determines the operation to be performed.
R/W=0 ････ WRITE (including word address input of Random Read)

○WRITE PROTECT PIN(WP)
When WP pin set to Vcc (H level), write protect is set for 256 words (all address). When WP pin set to GND (L level),
it is enable to write 256 words (all address).
If permanent protection is done by Write Protect command, lower half area (00～7Fh address) is inhibited writing
regardless of WP pin state.
WP pin has a Pull-Down resistor. Please be left unconnected or connect to GND when WP feature is not in use.
○Confirm Write Protect Resistor by ACK
According to state of Write Protect Resistor, ACK is as follows.

○Write Cycle
During WRITE CYCLE operation data is written in the EEPROM. The Byte Write Cycle is used to write only one byte. In
the case of writing continuous data consisting of more than one byte, Page Write is used. The maximum bytes that can
be written at one time is 16 bytes.

・With this command the data is programmed into the indicated word address.
・When the Master generates a STOP condition, the device begins the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory
array.
・Once programming is started no commands are accepted for tWR (5ms max.).
・This device is capable of sixteen-byte Page Write operations.
・If the Master transmits more than sixteen words prior to generating the STOP condition, the address counter will “roll
over” and the previously transmitted data will be overwritten.
・When two or more byte of data are input, the four low order address bits are internally incremented by one after the
receipt of each word, while the four higher order bits of the address (WA7～WA4) remain constant.
○Read Cycle
During Read Cycle operation data is read from the EEPROM. The Read Cycle is composed of Random Read Cycle and
Current Read Cycle. The Random Read Cycle reads the data in the indicated address.
The Current Read Cycle reads the data in the internally indicated address and verifies the data immediately after the
Write Operation. The Sequential Read operation can be performed with both Current Read and Random Read. With the
Sequential Read Cycle it is possible to continuously read the next data.
・ Random Read operation allows the Master to access any memory location indicated by word address.
・ In cases where the previous operation is Random or Current Read (which includes Sequential Read), the internal
address counter is increased by one from the last accessed address (n). Thus Current Read outputs the data of the
next word address (n+1).
・ If an Acknowledge is detected and no STOP condition is generated by the Master (µ-COM), the device will continue to
transmit data. (It can transmit all data (2kbit 256word))
・ If an Acknowledge is not detected, the device will terminate further data transmissions and await a STOP condition
before returning to standby mode.
・ If an Acknowledge is detected with the "Low" level (not "High" level), the command will become Sequential Read, and
the next data will be transmitted. Therefore, the Read command is not terminated. In order to terminate Read input
Acknowledge with "High" always, then input a STOP condition.
It is necessary to input
“High” at last ACK timing.

After the internal write cycle
is completed, ACK will be returned
(ACK=Low). Then input next
Word Address and data.
During the internal write cycle,
no ACK will be returned.

・・・
●Software Reset
Execute software reset in the event that the device is in an unexpected state after power up and/or the command input
needs to be reset. Below are three types(Fig.39 –(a), (b), (c)) of software reset:
During dummy clock, release the SDA BUS (tied to VCC by a pull-up resistor). During this time the device may pull the SDA
line Low for Acknowledge or the outputting of read data.If the Master sets the SDA line to High, it will conflict with the device
output Low, which can cause current overload and result in instantaneous power down, which may damage the device.
●Acknowledge polling
Since the IC ignores all input commands during the internal write cycle, no ACK signal will be returned.
When the Master sends the next command after the Write command, if the device returns an ACK signal it means that the
program is completed. No ACK signal indicates that the device is still busy.
Using Acknowledge polling decreases the waiting time by tWR=5ms.
When operating Write or Current Read after Write, first transmit the Slave address (R/W is"High" or "Low"). After the device
returns the ACK signal continue word address input or data output.

・The rising edge
・of SDA
WP cancellation
effective period
●WP effective timing
WP is normally fixed at "H" or "L". However, in case WP needs to be controlled in order to cancel the Write command, pay
attention to “WP effective timing” as follows:
The Write command is canceled by setting WP to "H" within the WP cancellation effective period.
The period from the START condition to the rising edge of the clock (which takes in the data DO - the first byte of the Page
Write data) is the ‘invalid cancellation period’. WP input is considered inconsequential during this period. The setup time for
the rising edge of the SCL, which takes in DO, must be more than 100ns.
The period from the rising edge of SCL (which takes in the data D0) to the end of internal write cycle (tWR) is the ‘effective
cancellation period’. When WP is set to "H" during tWR, Write operation is stopped, making it necessary to rewrite the data.
It is not necessary to wait for tWR (5ms max.) after stopping the Write command by WP because the device is in standby
mode.
●Command cancellation from the START and STOP conditions
Command input is canceled by successive inputs of START and STOP conditions. (Refer to Fig.42)
However, during ACK or data output, the device may set the SDA line to Low, making operation of the START and STOP
conditions impossible, and thus preventing reset. In this case execute reset by software. (Refer to Fig.39)
The internal address counter will not be determined when operating the Cancel command by the START and STOP
conditions during Random, Sequential or Current Read. Operate a Random Read in this case.

THE CAPACITANCE OF BUS
LINE (CBUS)COMPUTER
Fig.43 I/O Circuit
●I/O Circuit
○SDA Pin Pull-up Resistor
A pull-up resistor is required because SDA is an NMOS open drain. Determine the resistor value of (RPU) by considering
the VIL and IL, and VOL-IOL characteristics. If a large RPU is chosen, the clock frequency needs to be slow. A smaller
RPU will result in a larger operating current.
○Maximum RPU
The maximum of RPU can be determined by the following factors.
①The SDA rise time determined by RPU and the capacitance of the BUS line(CBUS) must be less than tR.
In addition, all other timings must be kept within the AC specifications.
②When the SDA BUS is High, the voltage ○
A at the SDA BUS is determined from the total input leakage(IL) of all
devices connected to the BUS. RPU must be higher than the input High level of the microcontroller and the device,
including a noise margin 0.2VCC.
VCC-ILRPU-0.2 VCC ≧ VIH
∴RPU ≦0.8VCC-VIH
IL
Examples: When VCC =3V, IL=10µA, VIH=0.7 VCC
According to ②
R
PU ≦ 0.8x3-0.7x3
10x10-6
≦ 300 [k ]
○Minimum RPU
The minimum value of RPU is determined by following factors.
①Meets the condition that VOLMAX=0.4V, IOLMAX=3mA when the output is Low.
②VOLMAX=0.4V must be lower than the input Low level of the microcontroller and the EEPROMincluding the
recommended noise margin of 0.1VCC.
VOLMAX ≦ VIL-0.1 VCC
Examples: VCC=3V, VOL=0.4V, IOL=3mA, the VIL of the controller and the EEPROM is VIL=0.3VCC, According to 
and VOL=0.4［V］
and VIL=0.3×3
=0.9［V］
o that condition ② is met
○SCL Pin Pull-up Resistor
When SCL is controlled by the CMOS output the pull-up resistor at SCL is not required.
However, should SCL be set to Hi-Z, connection of a pull-up resistor between SCL and VCC is recommended.
Several k are recommended for the pull-up resistor in order to drive the output port of the microcontroller.
●A0, A1, A2, WP Pin connections
○Device Address Pin (A0, A1, A2) connections
The status of the device address pins is compared with the device address sent by the Master. One of the devices that is
connected to the identical BUS is selected. Pull up or down these pins or connect them to VCC or GND. Pins that are not
used as device address (N.C.Pins) may be High, Low, or Hi-Z.
○WP Pin connection
The WP input allows or prohibits write operations. When WP is High, only Read is available and Write to all address is
prohibited. Both Read and Write are available when WP is Low.
In the event that the device is used as a ROM, it is recommended that the WP input be pulled up or connected to VCC.
When both READ and WRITE are operated, the WP input must be pulled down or connected to GND or controlled.

●Microcontroller connection
○Concerning Rs
The open drain interface is recommended for the SDA port in the I2C BUS. However, if the Tri-state CMOS interface is
applied to SDA, insert a series resistor (Rs) between the SDA pin of the device and the pull up resistor RPU is
recommended, since it will serve to limit the current between the PMOS of the microcontroller, and the NMOS of the
EEPROM. Rs also protects the SDA pin from surges. Therefore, Rs is able to be used though open drain inout of the
SDA port.
○Rs Maximum
The maximum value of Rs is determined by following factors.
①SDA rise time determined by RPU and the capacitance value of the BUS line (CBUS) of SDA must be less than tR. In
addition, the other timings must be within the timing conditions of the AC.
②When the output from SDA is Low, the voltage of the BUS at ○
A is determined by RPU, and Rs must be lower than the
input Low level of the microcontroller, including recommended noise margin (0.1VCC).
○Rs Minimum
The minimum value of Rs is determined by the current overload during BUS conflict.
Current overload may cause noises in the power line and instantaneous power down.
The following conditions must be met, where “I” is the maximum permissible current, which depends on the Vcc line
impedance as well as other factors. “I” current must be less than 10mA for EEPROM.

●Power Supply Notes
VCC increases through the low voltage region where the internal circuit of IC and the microcontroller are unstable. In order
to prevent malfunction, the IC has P.O.R and LVCC functionality. During power up, ensure that the following conditions are
met to guaranty P.O.R. and LVCC operability.
1. "SDA='H'" and "SCL='L' or 'H'".
2. Follow the recommended conditions of tR, tOFF, Vbot so that P.O.R. will be activated during power up.

●LVCC Circuit
The LVCC circuit prevents Write operation at low voltage and prevents inadvertent writing. A voltage below the LVCC voltage
(1.2V typ.) prohibits Write operation.
●VCC Noise
○Bypass Capacitor
Noise and surges on the power line may cause abnormal function. It is recommended that bypass capacitors (0.1µF) be
attached between VCC and GND externally.

●Notes for Use
1) Descrived numeric values and data are design representative values, and the values are not guaranteed.
2) We believe that application circuit examples are recommendable, however, in actual use, confirm characteristics further
sufficiently. In the case of use by changing the fixed number of external parts, make your decision with sufficient margin
in consideration of static characteristics and transition characteristics and fluctuations of external parts and our LSI.
3) Absolute maximum ratings
If the absolute maximum ratings such as impressed voltage and action temperature range and so forth are exceeded, LSI
may be destructed. Do not impress voltage and temperature exceeding the absolute maximum ratings. In the case of fear
exceeding the absolute maximum ratings, take physical safety countermeasures such as fuses, and see to it that
conditions exceeding the absolute maximum ratings should not be impressed to LSI.
4) GND electric potential
Set the voltage of GND terminal lowest at any action condition. Make sure that each terminal voltage is lower than that of
GND terminal.
5) Heat design
In consideration of permissible dissipation in actual use condition, carry out heat design with sufficient margin.
6) Terminal to terminal short circuit and wrong packaging
When to package LSI on to a board, pay sufficient attention to LSI direction and displacement. Wrong packaging may
destruct LSI. And in the case of short circuit between LSI terminals and terminals and power source, terminal and GND
owing to foreign matter, LSI may be destructed.
7) Use in a strong electromagnetic field may cause malfunction, therfore, evaluate design sufficiently.
