The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop
condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal
program/erase cycle. During the write cycle, the bus
interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain
high, and the device does not respond to its slave
address.

CAT24WC257
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24WC257 supports the I
2
C Bus data transmis-
sion protocol. This Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus protocol
defines any device that sends data to the bus to be a
transmitter and any device receiving data to be a re-
ceiver. The transfer is controlled by the Master device
which generates the serial clock and all START and
STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24WC257
operates as a Slave device. Both the Master device and
Slave device can operate as either transmitter or re-
ceiver, but the Master device controls which mode is
activated.
SDA: Serial Data/Address
The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA pin
is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed with other
open drain or open collector outputs.
WP: Write Protect
This input, when tied to GND, allows write operations to
the entire memory. When this pin is tied to Vcc, the top
1/4 array of memory (locations 6000H to 7FFFH) is write
protected. When left floating, memory is unprotected.
A0, A1: Device Address Inputs
These pins are hardwired or left connected. When
hardwired, up to four CAT24WC257's may be addressed
on a single bus system. When the pins are left uncon-
nected, the default values are zero.
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL: Serial Clock
The serial clock input clocks all data transferred into or
out of the device.

C BUS PROTOCOL
The features of the I
2
C bus protocol are defined as
follows:
(1) Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is
not busy.
(2) During a data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Any changes
in the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.
START Condition
The START Condition precedes all commands to the
device, and is defined as a HIGH to LOW transition of
SDA when SCL is HIGH. The CAT24WC257 monitors
the SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this
condition is met.
STOP Condition
A LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH
determines the STOP condition. All operations must end
with a STOP condition.
many as four devices on the same bus. These bits must
compare to their hardwired input pins. The last bit of the
slave address specifies whether a Read or Write opera-
tion is to be performed. When this bit is set to 1, a Read
operation is selected, and when set to 0, a Write opera-
tion is selected.
After the Master sends a START condition and the slave
address byte, the CAT24WC257 monitors the bus and
responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when
its address matches the transmitted slave address. The
CAT24WC257 then performs a Read or Write operation
depending on the state of the R/W bit.
Acknowledge
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is
required to generate an acknowledge. The Acknowledg-
ing device pulls down the SDA line during the ninth clock
cycle, signaling that it received the 8 bits of data.
The CAT24WC257 responds with an acknowledge after
receiving a START condition and its slave address. If the
device has been selected along with a write operation,
it responds with an acknowledge after receiving each 8-
bit byte.
When the CAT24WC257 begins a READ mode it trans-
mits 8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and monitors
the line for an acknowledge. Once it receives this ac-
knowledge, the CAT24WC257 will continue to transmit
data. If no acknowledge is sent by the Master, the device
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a
START condition. The Master sends the address of the
particular slave device it is requesting. The five most
significant bits of the 8-bit slave address are fixed as
10100(Fig. 5). The CAT24WC257 uses the next two bits
as address bits. The address bits A1 and A0 allow as
