2.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 2-1.
TABLE 2-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
2.1 A0, A1 Chip Address Inputs
The A0, A1 inputs are used by the 24XX515 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 compare 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 A0 and A1 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 A2 Chip Address Input
The A2 input is non-configurable Chip Select. This pin
must be tied to V
CC in order for this device to operate.
2.3 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 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2 kΩ for
400kHz and 1MHz).
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.
2.4 Serial Clock (SCL)
This input is used to synchronize the data transfer from
and to the device.
2.5 Write-Protect (WP)
This pin must be connected to either VSS or VCC. If tied
to V
SS, write operations are enabled. If tied to VCC,
write operations are inhibited but read operations are
not affected.
3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24XX515 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
24XX515 works as a slave. Both master and slave can
operate as a transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.

4.0 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 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 (24XX515) will leave the data line high to enable
the master to generate the Stop condition.

FIGURE 4-2: ACKNOWLEDGE TIMING
Note: The 24XX515 does not generate any
Acknowledge bits if an internal program-
ming cycle is in progress, however, the
control byte that is being polled must
match the control byte used to initiate the
write cycle.
