2.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 2-1.
TABLE 2-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
2.1 A0, A1, A2 Chip Address Inputs
The A0, A1 and A2 inputs are used by the 24XX32A for
multiple device operation. The levels on these inputs
are compared with the corresponding bits in the slave
address. The chip is selected if the comparison is true.
Up to eight devices may be connected to the same bus
by using different Chip Select bit combinations. These
inputs must be connected to either VCC or VSS.
In most applications, the chip address inputs A0, A1
and A2 are hard-wired to logic0’ or logic ‘1’. For
applications in which these pins are controlled by a
microcontroller or other programmable device, the chip
address pins must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic1
before normal device operation can proceed. Address
pins are not available in the SOT-23 and chip scale
packages.
2.2 Serial Data (SDA)
SDA 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 VCC (typical 10 k for 100 kHz, 2 k for
400 kHz)
For normal data transfer, SDA is allowed to change
only during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating Start and Stop conditions.
2.3 Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to synchronize the data transfer
to and from the device.
2.4 Write-Protect (WP)
This pin must be connected to either VSS or VCC. If tied
to VSS, write operations are enabled. If tied to VCC,
write operations are inhibited but read operations are
not affected.

3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24XX32A supports a bidirectional, 2-wire bus and
data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as transmitter, while a device
receiving data is defined as a receiver. The bus has to
be controlled by a master device which generates the
Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access and gener-
ates the Start and Stop conditions, while the 24XX32A
works as slave. Both master and slave can operate as
transmitter or receiver, but the master device
determines which mode is activated.
4.0 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).
4.1 Bus Not Busy (A)
Both data and clock lines remain high.
4.2 Start Data Transfer (B)
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 data on the line must 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. The number of data
bytes transferred between Start and Stop conditions is
determined by the master device and is, theoretically,
unlimited (although only the last thirty-two bytes will be
stored when doing a write operation). When an over-
write does occur, it will replace data in a first-in first-out
(FIFO) fashion.
4.5 Acknowledge
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged 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.
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. During reads, 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 (24XX32A) will leave the data
line high to enable the master to generate the Stop
condition.
FIGURE 4-1: DATA TRANSFER SEQUENCE ON THE SERIAL BUS
Note: The 24XX32A does not generate any

programming cycle is in progress.

24AA32A/24LC32A
5.0 DEVICE ADDRESSING
A control byte is the first byte received following the
Start condition from the master device (Figure 5-1).
The control byte consists of a four-bit control code. For
the 24XX32A, this is set as ‘1010’ binary for read and
write operations. The next three bits of the control byte
are the Chip Select bits (A2, A1, A0). The Chip Select
bits allow the use of up to eight 24XX32A devices on
the same bus and are used to select which device is
accessed. The Chip Select bits in the control byte must
correspond to the logic levels on the corresponding A2,
A1 and A0 pins for the device to respond. These bits
are in effect the three Most Significant bits of the word
address.
For the SOT-23 and chip scale packages, the address
pins are not available. During device addressing, the
A1, A2, and A0 Chip Selects bits (Figure 5-2) should be
set to ‘0’.
The last bit of the control byte defines the operation to
be performed. When set to a ‘1’, a read operation is
selected. When set to a zero, a write operation is
selected. The next two bytes received define the
address of the first data byte (Figure 5-2). Because
only A11 to A0 are used, the upper four address bits are
“don’t care” bits. The upper address bits are transferred
first, followed by the Less Significant bits.
Following the Start condition, the 24XX32A monitors
the SDA bus checking the device type identifier being
transmitted and, upon receiving a ‘1010’ code and
appropriate device select bits, the slave device outputs
an Acknowledge signal on the SDA line. Depending on
the state of the R/W bit, the 24XX32A will select a read
or write operation.
FIGURE 5-1: CONTROL BYTE FORMAT
5.1 Contiguous Addressing Across
Multiple Devices
The Chip Select bits A2, A1 and A0 can be used to
expand the contiguous address space for up to 256K
bits by adding up to eight 24XX32A devices on the
same bus. In this case, software can use A0 of the con-
trol byte as address bit A12; A1 as address bit A13; and
A2 as address bit A14. It is not possible to sequentially
read across device boundaries.
The SOT-23 and chip scale packages do not support
multiple device addressing on the same bus.

6.0 WRITE OPERATIONS
6.1 Byte Write
Following the Start condition from the master, the
control code (4 bits), the Chip Select (3 bits), and the
R/W bit (which is a logic low) are clocked onto the bus
by the master transmitter. This indicates to the
addressed slave receiver that the address high byte
will follow once it has generated an Acknowledge bit
during the ninth clock cycle. Therefore, the next byte
transmitted by the master is the high-order byte of the
word address and will be written into the Address
Pointer of the 24XX32A. The next byte is the Least
Significant Address Byte. After receiving another
Acknowledge signal from the 24XX32A, the master
device will transmit the data word to be written into the
addressed memory location. The 24XX32A acknowl-
edges again and the master generates a Stop
condition. This initiates the internal write cycle and,
during this time, the 24XX32A will not generate
Acknowledge signals (Figure 6-1). If an attempt is
made to write to the array with the WP pin held high,
the device will acknowledge the command, but no
write cycle will occur. No data will be written and the
device will immediately accept a new command. After
a byte Write command, the internal address counter
will point to the address location following the one that
was just written.
6.2 Page Write
The write control byte, word address and the first data
byte are transmitted to the 24XX32A in the same way
as in a byte write. However, instead of generating a
Stop condition, the master transmits up to 31 additional
bytes which are temporarily stored in the on-chip page
buffer and will be written into memory once the master
has transmitted a Stop condition. Upon receipt of each
word, the five lower Address Pointer bits are internally
incremented by ‘1’. If the master should transmit more
than 32 bytes prior to generating the Stop condition, the
address counter will roll over and the previously
received data will be overwritten. As with the byte write
operation, once the Stop condition is received, an
internal write cycle will begin (Figure 6-2). If an attempt
is made to write to the array with the WP pin held high,
the device will acknowledge the command, but no write
cycle will occur, no data will be written, and the device
will immediately accept a new command.
6.3 Write Protection
The WP pin allows the user to write-protect the entire
array (000-FFF) when the pin is tied to VCC. If tied to
VSS the write protection is disabled. The WP pin is
sampled at the Stop bit for every Write command
(Figure 4-1). Toggling the WP pin after the Stop bit will
have no effect on the execution of the write cycle.
Note: When doing a write of less than 32 bytes
the data in the rest of the page is refreshed
along with the data bytes being written.
This will force the entire page to endure a
write cycle, for this reason endurance is
specified per page.
Note: Page write operations are limited to writing
bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes
actually being written. Physical page
boundaries start at addresses that are
integer multiples of the page buffer size (or
‘page size’) and end at addresses that are
integer multiples of [page size – 1]. If a
Page Write command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to the
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page as might be
expected. It is therefore necessary for the
application software to prevent page write
operations that would attempt to cross a
page boundary.

7.0 ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
Since the device will not acknowledge during a write
cycle, this can be used to determine when the cycle is
complete (this feature can be used to maximize bus
throughput). Once the Stop condition for a Write
command has been issued from the master, the device
initiates the internally-timed write cycle. ACK polling
can then be initiated immediately. This involves the
master sending a Start condition followed by the control
byte for a Write command (R/W = 0). If the device is still
busy with the write cycle, then no ACK will be returned.
If no ACK is returned, the Start bit and control byte must
be re-sent. If the cycle is complete, the device will
return the ACK and the master can then proceed with
the next Read or Write command. See Figure 7-1 for
flow diagram of this operation.

24AA32A/24LC32A
8.0 READ OPERATION
Read operations are initiated in the same way as write
operations, with the exception that the R/W bit of the
control byte is set to ‘1’. There are three basic types of
read operations: current address read, random read
and sequential read.
8.1 Current Address Read
The 24XX32A contains an address counter that main-
tains the address of the last word accessed, internally
incremented by ‘1’. Therefore, if the previous read
access was to address ‘n’ (n is any legal address), the
next current address read operation would access data
from address n + 1.
Upon receipt of the control byte with R/W bit set to ‘1’,
the 24XX32A issues an acknowledge and transmits the
8-bit data word. The master will not acknowledge the
transfer, but does generate a Stop condition and the
24XX32A discontinues transmission (Figure 8-1).
8.2 Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access
any memory location in a random manner. To perform
this type of read operation, the word address must
first be set. This is accomplished by sending the word
address to the 24XX32A as part of a write operation
(R/W bit set to ‘0’). Once the word address is sent, the
master generates a Start condition following the
acknowledge. This terminates the write operation, but
not before the internal Address Pointer is set. The
master issues the control byte again, but with the R/W
bit set to a ‘1’. The 24XX32A will then issue an
acknowledge and transmit the 8-bit data word. The
master will not acknowledge the transfer, but does
generate a Stop condition which causes the 24XX32A
to discontinue transmission (Figure 8-2). After a
random Read command, the internal address counter
will point to the address location following the one that
was just read.
8.3 Sequential Read
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read, except that once the 24XX32A transmits
the first data byte, the master issues an acknowledge
as opposed to the Stop condition used in a random
read. This acknowledge directs the 24XX32A to
transmit the next sequentially addressed 8-bit word
(Figure 8-3). Following the final byte transmitted to the
master, the master will NOT generate an acknowledge,
but will generate a Stop condition. To provide sequen-
tial reads, the 24XX32A contains an internal Address
Pointer which is incremented by ‘1’ upon completion of
each operation. This Address Pointer allows the entire
memory contents to be serially read during one
operation. The internal Address Pointer will automati-
cally roll over from address FFF to address 000 if the
master acknowledges the byte received from the array
address FFF.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
