DESCRIPTION
The FT24C02A is 2048 bits of serial Electrical Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory, commonly
known as EEPROM. They are organized as 256 words of 8 bits (1 byte) each. The devices are fabricated with
proprietary advanced CMOS process for low power and low voltage applications. These devices are available in
standard 8-lead DIP, 8-lead SOP, 8-lead MSOP, 8-lead TSSOP, 8-lead DFN and 5-lead SOT-23/TSOT-23
packages. A standard 2-wire serial interface is used to address all read and write functions. Our extended V
CC
range (1.8V to 5.5V) devices enables wide spectrum of applications.

Block Diagram
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
(A) SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
Figure 2: Block Diagram
The rising edge of this SCL input is to latch data into the EEPROM device while the falling edge of this clock is to
clock data out of the EEPROM device.
(B) SERIAL DATA LINE (SDA)
SDA data line is a bi-directional signal for the serial devices. It is an open drain output signal and can be wired-
OR with other open-drain output devices.
(C) DEVICE / CHIP SELECT ADDRESSES (A2, A1, A0)
These are the chip select input signals for the serial EEPROM devices. Typically, these signals are hardwired to
either VIH or VIL. If left unconnected, they are internally recognized as VIL. However, due to capacitive coupling
that may appear in customer applications, FMD recommends always connecting the address pins to a known
state. When using a pull-up or pull-down resistor, FMD recommends using 10kΩ or less.
(D) WRITE PROTECT (WP)
The FT24C02A devices have a WP pin to protect the whole EEPROM array from programming. Programming
operations are allowed if WP pin is left un-connected or input to VIL. Conversely all programming functions are

disabled if WP pin is connected to VIH or VCC. Read operations is not affected by the WP pin’s input level. If left
unconnected, it is internally recognized as VIL. However, due to capacitive coupling that may appear in customer
applications, FMD recommends always connecting the WP pin to a known state. When using a pull-up or pull-
down resistor, FMD recommends using 10kΩ or less.
MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The FT24C02A devices have 16 pages. Since each page has 16 bytes, random word addressing to FT24C02A
will require 8 bits data word addresses.
DEVICE OPERATION
(A) SERIAL CLOCK AND DATA TRANSITIONS
The SDA pin is typically pulled to high by an external resistor. Data is allowed to change only when Serial clock
SCL is at V
IL
. Any SDA signal transition may interpret as either a START or STOP condition as described below.
(B) START CONDITION
With SCL
≥
V
IH
, a SDA transition from high to low is interpreted as a START condition. All valid commands
must begin with a START condition.
(C) STOP CONDITION
With SCL
≥
V
IH
, a SDA transition from low to high is interpreted as a STOP condition. All valid read or write
commands end with a STOP condition. The device goes into the STANDBY mode if it is after a read command.
A STOP condition after page or byte write command will trigger the chip into the STANDBY mode after the self-
timed internal programming finish.
(D) ACKNOWLEDGE
The 2-wire protocol transmits address and data to and from the EEPROM in 8 bit words. The EEPROM
acknowledges the data or address by outputting a "0" after receiving each word. The ACKNOWLEDGE signal
occurs on the 9th serial clock after each word.
(E) STANDBY MODE
The EEPROM goes into low power STANDBY mode after a fresh power up, after receiving a STOP bit in read
mode, or after completing a self-time internal programming operation.
(F) SOFT RESET
After an interruption in protocol power loss or system reset, any two-wire part can be reset by following these
steps:
1. Creat a START condition,
2. Clock eighteen data bits “1”,
3. Creat a start condition as SDA is high.
