CAT34C02
FEATURES
2-Kb I
2
C EEPROM for DDR2 DIMM Serial Presence Detect
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The CAT34C02 is a 2-Kb Serial CMOS EEPROM,
internally organized as 16 pages of 16 bytes each, for
a total of 256 bytes of 8 bits each.
It features a 16-byte page write buffer and supports
both the Standard (100 kHz) as well as Fast (400 kHz)
I
2
C protocol.
Write operations can be inhibited by taking the WP pin
High (this protects the entire memory) or by setting an
internal Write Protect flag via Software command (this
protects the lower half of the memory).
In addition to Permanent Software Write Protection,
the CAT34C02 also features JEDEC compatible
Reversible Software Write Protection for DDR2 Serial
Presence Detect (SPD) applications operating over
the 1.7 V to 3.6 V supply voltage range.
The CAT34C02 is fully backwards compatible with
earlier DDR1 SPD applications operating over the
1.7 V to 5.5 V supply voltage range.

CAT34C02
POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The CAT34C02 incorporates Power-On Reset (POR)
circuitry which protects the internal logic against
powering up in the wrong state.
The CAT34C02 will power up into Standby mode after
V
CC
exceeds the POR trigger level and will power
down into Reset mode when V
CC
drops below the POR
trigger level. This bi-directional POR feature protects
the device against ‘brown-out’ failure following a
temporary loss of power.
I
2
C BUS PROTOCOL
The I
2
C bus consists of two ‘wires’, SCL and SDA. The
two wires are connected to the V
CC
supply via pull-up
resistors. Master and Slave devices connect to the 2-
wire bus via their respective SCL and SDA pins. The
transmitting device pulls down the SDA line to ‘transmit’
a ‘0’ and releases it to ‘transmit’ a ‘1’.
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy (see A.C. Characteristics).
During data transfer, the SDA line must remain stable
while the SCL line is HIGH. An SDA transition while
SCL is HIGH will be interpreted as a START or STOP
condition (Figure 1).
START
The START condition precedes all commands. It consists
of a HIGH to LOW transition on SDA while SCL is HIGH.
The START acts as a ‘wake-up’ call to all receivers. Absent
a START, a Slave will not respond to commands.
STOP
The STOP condition completes all commands. It consists
of a LOW to HIGH transition on SDA while SCL is HIGH.
The STOP starts the internal Write cycle (when follow-
ing a Write command) or sends the Slave into standby
mode (when following a Read command).
Device Addressing
The Master initiates data transfer by creating a START
condition on the bus. The Master then broadcasts an
8-bit serial Slave address. The first 4 bits of the Slave
address are set to 1010, for normal Read/Write opera-
tions (Figure 2). The next 3 bits, A
2
, A
1
and A
0
, select
one of 8 possible Slave devices. The last bit, R/W,
specifies whether a Read (1) or Write (0) operation is
to be performed.
Acknowledge
After processing the Slave address, the Slave responds
with an acknowledge (ACK) by pulling down the SDA
line during the 9
th
clock cycle (Figure 3). The Slave will
also acknowledge the byte address and every data
byte presented in Write mode. In Read mode the Slave
shifts out a data byte, and then releases the SDA line
during the 9
th
clock cycle. If the Master acknowledges
the data, then the Slave continues transmitting. The
Master terminates the session by not acknowledging
the last data byte (NoACK) and by sending a STOP to
the Slave. Bus timing is illustrated in Figure 4.
PIN DESCRIPTION
SCL:
The Serial Clock input pin accepts the Serial Clock
generated by the Master.
SDA:
The Serial Data I/O pin receives input data and
transmits data stored in EEPROM. In transmit mode, this
pin is open drain. Data is acquired on the positive edge,
and is delivered on the negative edge of SCL.
A
0
, A
1
and A
2
:
The Address pins accept the device ad-
dress. These pins have on-chip pull-down resistors.
WP:
The Write Protect input pin inhibits all write op-
erations, when pulled HIGH. This pin has an on-chip
pull-down resistor.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT34C02 supports the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2
C)
Bus data transmission protocol, which defines a device
that sends data to the bus as a transmitter and a device
receiving data as a receiver. Data flow is controlled by
a Master device, which generates the serial clock and
all START and STOP conditions. The CAT34C02 acts
as a Slave device. Master and Slave alternate as either
transmitter or receiver. Up to 8 devices may be connected
to the bus as determined by the device address inputs
