EEPROM with Partial Array
Write Protection
Description
The CAT24C03/05 is a 2−Kb/4−Kb CMOS Serial EEPROM device
organized internally as 16/32 pages of 16 bytes each, for a total of
256x8/512x8 bits. These devices support both Standard (100 kHz) as
well as Fast (400 kHz) I
2
C protocol.
Data is written by providing a starting address, then loading 1 to 16
contiguous bytes into a Page Write Buffer, and then writing all data to
non−volatile memory in one internal write cycle. Data is read by
providing a starting address and then shifting out data serially while
automatically incrementing the internal address count.
Write operations can be inhibited for upper half of memory by
taking the WP pin High.
External address pins make it possible to address up to eight
CAT24C03 or four CAT24C05 devices on the same bus.

and JEDEC test methods.
5. When not driven, the WP pin is pulled down to GND internally. For improved noise immunity, the internal pull−down is relatively strong;
therefore the external driver must be able to supply the pull−down current when attempting to drive the input HIGH. To conserve power, as
the input level exceeds the trip point of the CMOS input buffer (~ 0.5 x V
CC
), the strong pull−down reverts to a weak current source.

CAT24C03, CAT24C05
Power−On Reset (POR)
The CAT24C03/05 incorporates Power−On Reset (POR)
circuitry which protects the internal logic against powering
up in the wrong state.
The CAT24C03/05 device will power up into Standby
mode after V
CC
exceeds the POR trigger level and will
power down into Reset mode when V
CC
drops below the
POR trigger level. This bi−directional POR feature protects
the device against ‘brown−out’ failure following a
temporary loss of power.
Pin Description
SCL:
The Serial Clock input pin accepts the Serial Clock
generated by the Master.
SDA:
The Serial Data I/O pin receives input data and
transmits data stored in EEPROM. In transmit mode, this pin
is open drain. Data is acquired on the positive edge, and is
delivered on the negative edge of SCL.
A0, A1 and A2:
The Address inputs set the device address
when cascading multiple devices. When not driven, these
pins are pulled LOW internally.
WP:
The Write Protect input pin inhibits the write
operations for upper half of memory, when pulled HIGH.
When not driven, this pin is pulled LOW internally.
Functional Description
The CAT24C03/05 supports the Inter−Integrated Circuit
2
C) Bus data transmission protocol, which defines a device
(I
that sends data to the bus as a transmitter and a device
receiving data as a receiver. Data flow is controlled by a
Master device, which generates the serial clock and all
START and STOP conditions. The CAT24C03/05 acts as a
Slave device. Master and Slave alternate as either
transmitter or receiver.
I
2
C Bus Protocol
device pulls down the SDA line to ‘transmit’ a ‘0’ and
releases it to ‘transmit’ a ‘1’.
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy (see A.C. Characteristics).
During data transfer, the SDA line must remain stable
while the SCL line is high. An SDA transition while SCL is
HIGH will be interpreted as a START or STOP condition
(Figure 2). The START condition precedes all commands. It
consists of a HIGH to LOW transition on SDA while SCL
is HIGH. The START acts as a ‘wake−up’ call to all
receivers. Absent a START, a Slave will not respond to
commands. The STOP condition completes all commands.
It consists of a LOW to HIGH transition on SDA while SCL
is HIGH.
Device Addressing
The Master initiates data transfer by creating a START
condition on the bus. The Master then broadcasts an 8−bit
serial Slave address. For normal Read/Write operations, the
first 4 bits of the Slave address are fixed at 1010 (Ah). The
next 3 bits are used as programmable address bits when
cascading multiple devices and/or as internal address bits.
The last bit of the slave address, R/W, specifies whether a
Read (1) or Write (0) operation is to be performed. The 3
address space extension bits are assigned as illustrated in
Figure 3. A
2
, A
1
and A
0
must match the state of the external
address pins, and a
8
(CAT24C05) is internal address bit.
Acknowledge
The I
2
C bus consists of two ‘wires’, SCL and SDA. The
two wires are connected to the V
CC
supply via pull−up
resistors. Master and Slave devices connect to the 2−wire
bus via their respective SCL and SDA pins. The transmitting
After processing the Slave address, the Slave responds
with an acknowledge (ACK) by pulling down the SDA line
during the 9th clock cycle (Figure 4). The Slave will also
acknowledge the address byte and every data byte presented
in Write mode. In Read mode the Slave shifts out a data byte,
and then releases the SDA line during the 9
th
clock cycle. As
long as the Master acknowledges the data, the Slave will
continue transmitting. The Master terminates the session by
not acknowledging the last data byte (NoACK) and by
issuing a STOP condition. Bus timing is illustrated in
Figure 5.
