Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24AA014/24LC014 is a
1 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROM with opera-
tion down to 1.8V. The device is organized as a single
block of 128 x 8-bit memory with a 2-wire serial inter-
face. Low current design permits operation with typical
standby and active currents of only 1
µA
and 1 mA,
respectively. The device has a page write capability for
up to 16 bytes of data. Functional address lines allow
the connection of up to eight 24AA014/24LC014
devices on the same bus for up to 8 Kbits of contiguous
EEPROM memory. The device is available in the
standard 8-pin PDIP, 8-pin SOIC (150 mil), TSSOP and
MSOP packages.

As a transmitter, the device must provide an internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.

The combined T

specifications are due to Schmitt Trigger inputs which provide improved
noise spike suppression. This eliminates the need for a TI specification for standard operation.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SDA Serial Data
3.0
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and out of the device. It is an open drain
terminal. Therefore, the SDA bus requires a pull-up
resistor to V
CC
(typical 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2 kΩ for
400 kHz).
For normal data transfer SDA is allowed to change only
during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating the Start and Stop conditions.
The 24AA014/24LC014 supports a bidirectional, 2-wire
bus and data transmission protocol. A device that
sends data onto the bus is defined as transmitter, and
a device receiving data as receiver. The bus has to be
controlled by a master device that generates the serial
clock (SCL), controls the bus access and generates the
Start and Stop conditions while the 24AA014/24LC014
works as slave. Both master and slave can operate as
transmitter or receiver but the master device
determines which mode is activated.
2.2
SCL Serial Clock
The SCL input is used to synchronize the data transfer
to and from the device.
2.3
A0, A1, A2
The levels on the inputs A0, A1 and A2 are compared
with the corresponding bits in the slave address. The
chip is selected if the compare is true.
Up to eight 24AA014/24LC014 devices may be
connected to the same bus by using different Chip
Select bit combinations. These inputs must be
connected to either V
CC
or V
SS
.
2.4
WP
WP is the hardware write-protect pin. It must be tied to
V
CC
or V
SS
. If tied to V
CC
, the hardware write protection
is enabled. If the WP pin is tied to V
SS
the hardware
write protection is disabled.
2.5
Noise Protection
The 24AA014/24LC014 employs a V
CC
threshold
detector circuit that disables the internal erase/write
logic if the V
CC
is below 1.5 volts at nominal conditions.
The SCL and SDA inputs have Schmitt Trigger and
filter circuits that suppress noise spikes to assure
proper device operation even on a noisy bus.

BUS CHARACTERISTICS
The following
bus protocol
has been defined:
• Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
• During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Changes in
the data line while the clock line is high will be
interpreted as a Start or Stop condition.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Figure 4-1).
The data on the line must be changed during the low
period of the clock signal. There is one bit of data per
clock pulse.
Each data transfer is initiated with a Start condition and
terminated with a Stop condition. The number of the
data bytes transferred between the Start and Stop
conditions is determined by the master device and is,
theoretically, unlimited, though only the last sixteen will
be stored when doing a write operation. When an over-
write does occur, it will replace data in a first-in first-out
fashion.
4.1
Bus not Busy (A)
4.5
Acknowledge
Both data and clock lines remain high.
4.2
Start Data Transfer (B)
Each receiving device, when addressed, is required to
generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte. The master device must generate an extra clock
pulse which is associated with this Acknowledge bit.
Note:
The 24AA014/24LC014 does not generate
any Acknowledge bits if an internal
programming cycle is in progress.
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Start condition. All
commands must be preceded by a Start condition.
4.3
Stop Data Transfer (C)
A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Stop condition. All
operations must be ended with a Stop condition.
4.4
Data Valid (D)
The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a Start condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the high period of the clock signal.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down the
SDA line during the Acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable low during the high
period of the acknowledge-related clock pulse. Of
course, setup and hold times must be taken into
account. A master must signal an end of data to the
slave by not generating an Acknowledge bit on the last
byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case,
the slave must leave the data line high to enable the
master to generate the Stop condition (Figure 4-2).
