Description
The BL24C32A provides 32768 bits of serial
electrically erasable and programmable read-
only memory (EEPROM), organized as 4096 byte.
The device is optimized for use in many industrial
and commercial applications where low-power
and low-voltage operation are essential.
The BL24C32A offers an additional page, named
the Identification Page (32 bytes). The
Identification Page can be used to store sensitive
application parameters which can be (later)
permanently locked in Read-only mode.

BL24C32A 32Kbits (4,096×8)
DEVICE/PAGE ADDRESSES (A2, A1 and A0):
The A2, A1 and A0 pins are device address inputs that are hard
wire for the BL24C32A. Eight 32K devices may be addressed on a single bus system (device addressing
is discussed in detail under the Device Addressing section).
SERIAL DATA (SDA):
The SDA pin is bi-directional for serial data transfer. This pin is open-drain driven
and may be wire-OR’ed with any number of other open-drain or open- collector devices.
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL):
The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into each EEPROM device and
negative edge clock data out of each device.
WRITE PROTECT (WP):
The BL24C32A has a Write Protect pin that provides hardware data protection.
The Write Protect pin allows normal read/write operations when connected to ground (GND). When the
Write Protection pin is connected to V
CC
, the write protection feature is enabled and operates as shown
in the following

Functional Description
1. Memory Organization
BL24C32A, 32K SERIAL EEPROM:
Internally organized with 128 pages of 32 bytes each, the 32K requires a
12-bit data word address for random word addressing.
2. Device Operation
CLOCK and DATA TRANSITIONS:
The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an external device. Data on the
SDA pin can change only during SCL low time periods (see
Figure 2).
Data changes during SCL high
periods will indicate a start or stop condition as defined below.

START CONDITION:
A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition which must precede
any other command (see
Figure 3).
STOP CONDITION:
A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition. (see
Figure 3).

ACKNOWLEDGE:
All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the EEPROM in 8-bit
words. The EEPROM sends a "0" to acknowledge that it has received each word. This happens during
the ninth clock cycle.

STANDBY MODE:
The BL24C32A features a low-power standby mode which is enabled:
(a) upon power-up
(b) after the receipt of the STOP bit and the completion of any internal operations.
MEMORY RESET:
After the protocol is interrupted, power loss or system reset, any two-wire part can be
reset by following these steps:
1. Clock up to 9 cycles.
2. Look for SDA high in each cycle while SCL is high.
3. Create a start condition.

3. Device Addressing
The 32K EEPROM devices all require an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to enable
the chip for a read or write operation (see
Figure 5)

Figure 5. Device Address
The device address word consists of a mandatory "1", "0" sequence for the first four most significant
bits as shown. This is common to all the Serial EEPROM devices.
The 32K EEPROM uses A2, A1 and A0 device address bits to allow as much as eight devices on the same
bus. These 3 bits must be compared to their corresponding hardwired input pins. The A2, A1 and A0
pins use an internal proprietary circuit that biases them to a logic low condition if the pins are allowed
to float.
The eighth bit of the device address is the read/write operation select bit. A read operation is initiated if
this bit is high and a write operation is initiated if this bit is low.
Upon a compare of the device address, the EEPROM will output a "0". If a compare is not made, the
chip will return to standby state.
DATA SECURITY:
The BL24C32A has a hardware data protection scheme that allows the user to write
protect the entire memory when the WP pin is at VCC.
4. Write Operations
BYTE WRITE:
A write operation requires two 8-bit data word address(see
Table 3&Table 4)
following
the device address word and acknowledgment. Upon receipt of every 8-bit address, the EEPROM will
respond with a "0" and then send 8-bit data word. Following receipt of the 8-bit data word, the
EEPROM will output a "0" and the master device, such as a microcontroller, must terminate the write
sequence with a stop condition. At this time the EEPROM enters an internally timed write cycle, tWR, in
order to save the data in the nonvolatile memory. All inputs are disabled during this write cycle and the
EEPROM will not respond until the write is complete (see
Figure 6).
