(Note 3)
Note 3:
The write cycle time (t
WR
) is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal erase/program cycle. During the write cycle, the
NM24Wxx bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high per the bus-level pull-up resistor, and the device does not respond to its slave address.

Background Information (IIC Bus)
As mentioned, the IIC bus allows synchronous bidirectional com-
munication between Transmitter/Receiver using the SCL (clock)
and SDA (Data I/O) lines. All communication must be started with
a valid START condition, concluded with a STOP condition and
acknowledged by the Receiver with an ACKNOWLEDGE condi-
tion.
In addition, since the IIC bus is designed to support other devices
such as RAM, EPROMs, etc., a devce type identifier string must
follow the START condition. For EEPROMs, this 4-bit string is
1010 and is the first 4 bits in the slave address.
As shown below, the EEPROMs on the IIC bus may be configured
in any manner required, and for the Standard IIC protocol, the total
memory addressed can not exceed 16K (16,384 bits). EEPROM
memory address programming is controlled by 2 methods:
• Hardware configuring the A0, A1, and A2 pins (Device
Address pins) with pull-up or pull-down to resistors.
All
unused pins must be grounded
(tied to V
SS
).
• Software addressing the required PAGE BLOCK within the
device memory array (as sent in the Slave Address string).
Addressing an EEPROM memory location involves sending a
command string with the following information:
[DEVICE TYPE]—[DEVICE ADDRESS]—[PAGE BLOCK
ADDRESS]—[BYTE ADDRESS]

Note:
The SDA pull-up resistor is required due to the open-drain/open collector output of IIC bus devices.
The SCL pull-up resistor is recommended because of the normal SCL line inactive 'high' state.
It is recommended that the total line capacitance be less than 400pF.
Specific timing and addressing considerations are described in greater detail in the following sections.
