WP
WP is the Write Protect pin. If the WP pin is tied to Vcc, the
entire array becomes Write Protected, and software write-
protection cannot be initiated. When WP is tied to GND or
left floating, normal read/write operations are allowed to the
device. If the device has already received a write-protection
command, the memory in the range of 00h-7Fh is read -only
regardless of the setting of the WP pin.
DEVICE OPERATION
SCL
This input clock pin is used to synchronize the data
transfer to and from the device.
The IS24C02D features a serial communication and supports
a bi-directional 2-wire bus transmission protocol called
I
2
C
TM
.
SDA
The SDA is a Bi-directional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and out of the device. The SDA pin is an open
drain output and can be wire Or'ed with other open drain or
open collector outputs. The SDA bus
requires
a pullup
resistor to Vcc.
2-WIRE BUS
The two-wire bus is defined as a Serial Data line (SDA), and
a Serial Clock line (SCL). The protocol defines any device
that sends data onto the SDA bus as a transmitter, and the
receiving device as a receiver. The bus is controlled by
Master device which generates the SCL, controls the bus
access and generates the Stop and Start conditions. The
IS24C02D is the Slave device on the bus.
A0, A1, A2
The A0, A1, and A2 are the device address inputs that are
hardwired or left unconnected for hardware flexibility. When
pins are hardwired, as many as eight devices may be
addressed on a single bus system. When the pins are not
hardwired, the default values of A0, A1, and A2 are zero.

IS24C02D
The Bus Protocol:
– Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy
– During a data transfer, the SDA line must remain stable
whenever the SCL line is high. Any changes in the SDA
line while the SCL line is high will be interpreted as a
Start or Stop condition.
The state of the SDA line represents valid data after a Start
condition. The SDA line must be stable for the duration of
the High period of the clock signal. The data on the SDA
line may be changed during the Low period of the clock
signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data. Each data
transfer is initiated with a Start condition and terminated
with a Stop condition.
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The Master begins a transmission by sending a Start
condition. The Master then sends the address of the
particular Slave devices it is requesting. The Slave device
(Fig. 5) address is 8 bits.
The four most significant bits of the Slave device address
are fixed as 1010 for normal read/write operations, and
0110 for permanent write-protection operations.
This device has three address bits (A1, A2, and A0) that
allow up to eight IS24C02D devices to share the 2-wire
bus. Upon receiving the Slave address, the device
compares the three address bits with the hardwired A2,
A1, and A0 input pins to determine if it is the appropriate
Slave. If any of the A2 - A0 pins is neither biased to High
nor Low, internal circuitry defaults the value to Low.
The last bit of the Slave address specifies whether a Read
or Write operation is to be performed. When this bit is set
to 1, a Read operation is selected, and when set to 0, a
Write operation is selected.
After the Master transmits the Start condition and
Slave address byte (Fig. 5), the appropriate 2-wire
Slave (eg. IS24C02D) will respond with ACK on the SDA
line. The Slave will pull down the SDA on the ninth clock
cycle, signaling that it received the eight bits of data. The
selected IS24C02D then prepares for a Read or Write
operation by monitoring the bus.
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 IS24C02D monitors the SDA and SCL
lines and will not respond until the Start condition is met.
Stop Condition
The Stop condition is defined as a Low to High transition of
SDA when SCL is High. All operations must end with a Stop
condition.
Acknowledge (ACK)
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device is
required to generate an ACK. The Acknowledging device
pulls down the SDA line.
Reset
The IS24C02D contains a reset function in case the 2-
wire bus transmission is accidentally interrupted (eg. a
power loss), or needs to be terminated mid-stream. The
reset is caused when the Master device creates a Start
condition. To do this, it may be necessary for the Master
device to monitor the SDA line while cycling the SCL up
to nine times. (For each clock signal transition to High,
the Master checks for a High level on SDA.)
Standby Mode
Power consumption is reduced in standby mode. The
IS24C02D will enter standby mode: a) At Power-up, and
remain in it until SCL or SDA toggles; b) Following the Stop
signal if no write operation is initiated; or c) Following any
internal write operation

WRITE OPERATION
Byte Write
In the Byte Write mode, the Master device sends the Start
condition and the Slave address information (with the R/W
set to Zero) to the Slave device. After the Slave generates
an ACK, the Master sends a byte address that is written into
the address pointer of the IS24C02D. After receiving another
ACK from the Slave, the Master device transmits the data
byte to be written into the address memory location. The
IS24C02D acknowledges once more and the Master
generates the Stop condition, at which time the device
begins its internal programming cycle. While this internal
cycle is in progress, the device will not respond to any
request from the Master device.
Permanent Write Protection
The IS24C02D contains a permanent write protection feature
that is initiated by means of a software command. After the
command is transmitted, the protected area becomes
irreversibly read-only despite power removal and re-
application on the device. The address range of the 128
bytes of the array that is affected by this feature is 00h-7Fh.
Once enabled, the permanent protection is independent of
the status of the WP pin. (If WP is raised to High, the entire
array is read-only. If WP is low, the region 00h-7Fh can still
be read-only.)
The software command is initiated similarly to a normal
byte write operation; however, the slave address begins
with the bits 0110 (see Figure 5). The following three bits
are A2 - A0. The last bit of the slave address (R/W) is 0. If
the IS24C02D responds with ACK, the device has not yet
had its write-protection permanently enabled. To complete
the command, the Master must transmit a dummy address
byte, dummy data byte, and a Stop signal (see Figure 11).
The WP pin must be Low during this command. Before
resuming any other command, the internal write cycle
should be observed.
The status of the permanent write protection can be safely
determined without any changes by transmitting the same
Slave address as above, but with the last bit (R/W) set to 1
(see Figure 12). If the permanent write protection has been
enabled, the IS24C02D will not acknowledge any slave
address starting with bits 0110 (see Figure 5).
Page Write
The IS24C02D is capable of 16-byte Page-Write operation.
A Page-Write is initiated in the same manner as a Byte Write,
but instead of terminating the internal Write cycle after the
first data byte is transferred, the Master device can transmit
up to 15 more bytes. After the receipt of each data byte, the
IS24C02D responds immediately with an ACK on SDA line,
and the four lower order data byte address bits are internally
incremented by one, while the higher order bits of the data
byte address remain constant. If a byte address is
incremented from the last byte of a page, it returns to the first
byte of that page. If the Master device should transmit more
than 16 bytes prior to issuing the Stop condition, the address
counter will “roll over,” and the previously written data will be
overwritten. Once all 16 bytes are received and the Stop
condition has been sent by the Master, the internal
programming cycle begins. At this point, all received data is
written to the IS24C02D in a single Write cycle. All inputs are
disabled until completion of the internal Write cycle.
Acknowledge (ACK) Polling
The disabling of the inputs can be used to take advantage
of the typical Write cycle time. Once the Stop condition is
issued to indicate the end of the host's Write operation, the
IS24C02D initiates the internal Write cycle. ACK polling can
be initiated immediately. This involves issuing the Start
condition followed by the Slave address for a Write operation.
If the IS24C02D is still busy with the Write operation, no
ACK will be returned. If the IS24C02D has completed the
Write operation, an ACK will be returned and the host can
then proceed with the next Read or Write operation.
