SERIAL CLOCK (SCL): The SCL input is used to positive
edge clock data into each EEPROM device and negative
edge clock data out of each device.
SERIAL DATA (SDA): The SDA pin is bidirectional for
serial data trans fer. This pin is open-drain driven and may
be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or open
collector devices.
Memory Organization
AT24C01, 1K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organi zed with
128 pages of 1 byte each. The 1K requires a 7-bit data
word address for random word addressing.

Device Operation
CLOCK and DATA TRANSITIONS: The SDA pin is nor-
mally pul le d h igh wi th an ex terna l dev ic e. Dat a o n t he SDA
pin m ay c han ge o nly d uri ng SC L l ow t ime perio ds (refe r t o
Data Validity timi ng diagram). Data changes during S CL
high periods will indicate a start or stop condition as
defined below.
START CONDITION: A high-to-low transition of SDA with
SCL high is a start condition which must precede any other
command (refer to Start and Stop Definition timing dia-
gram).
STOP CONDITION: A low-to-high transition of SDA with
SCL high is a stop condition which terminates all communi-
cations. After a read sequence, the stop command will
place the EEPROM in a standby power mode (refer to Start
and Stop Definition timing diagram).
ACKNOWLEDGE: All addresses and data words are seri-
ally transmitted to and from the EE PROM in 8-bit words.
Any d evice on the system bus receiv ing data ( when com-
municating with the EEPROM) must pull the SDA bus low
to acknowledge that it has successfully received each
word. This mu st happen during the ninth cloc k cycle after
each word received and after all other system devices have
freed the SDA bus. The EEPROM will likewise acknowl-
edge by pulling SDA low after receiving each address or
data word (refer to Acknowledge Response from Receiver
timing diagram).
STANDBY MODE: The AT24C01 features a low power
standby mode which is enabled: (a) upon power-up and (b)
after the rece ipt of the STOP bi t and the completi on of any
internal operations.
MEMORY RESET: After an interruption in protocol, power
loss or system reset, any 2-wire part can be reset by follow-
ing these steps:
(a) Clock up to 9 cycles, (b) look for SDA high in each cycle
while SCL is high and then (c) create a start condition as
SDA is hig h.

Write Operations
BYTE WR ITE: Following a start condition, a write operation
requires a 7-bit data word address and a low write bit. Upon
receip t of this a ddress, th e EEPROM will again respond
with a zero and then clock in the first 8-bit data word. Fol-
lowing rec eip t of t he 8-b it da ta wo rd , the EE PR OM wil l o ut-
put a zero and the addressing device, such as a
microcontr oller, mus t terminate th e write s equence with a
stop condition. At this time the EEPROM enters an inter-
nally-timed write cycle to the nonvolatile memory. All inputs
are disa ble d durin g thi s write cycl e , tWR, and the EE P RO M
will not respond until the write is c omplete (refer to Figure
1).
PAGE WRITE: The AT24 C01 is capable of a 4-byte pag e
write.
A page write is initiated the same as a byte write but the
microcontroller does not send a stop condition after the first
data word is clocked in. Instead, after the EEPROM
acknowledges receipt of the first data word, the microcon-
troller can transmit up to three more data words. The
EEPROM will respond with a zero after each data word
received. The microcontroller must terminate the page
write sequence with a stop condition (refer to Figure 2).
The data word address lower 2 bits are internally incre-
mented fol low ing the re ce ipt of e ac h da ta wo rd . The h ig her
five data word address bits are not incremented, retaining
the memory page row location. W hen the word address,
inter nally gene rated, rea ches the p age bounda ry, the fol-
lowing byte is p lac ed at the begi nnin g of the s ame page . If
more than four data words are transmitted to the EEPROM,
the data word add ress wil l “roll over ” and previou s data will
be overwritten.
ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING: Once the internally-timed
write cycle ha s started and the EEPROM inputs are dis-
abled, acknowl edge polling can be initia ted. This invol ves
sending a start condition followed by the devic e address
word. The rea d/write bit is repr esentative of the operation
desired. O nly if the internal write cycl e has completed will
the EEPROM respond with a zero allowing the read or
write sequence to continue.
Read Operations
Read operations are initiated the same way as write opera-
tions with the exception that the read/write select bit in the
device address word is set to one. There are two read
operations: byte read and sequential read.
BYTE READ: A byte read is initiated with a start condition
followed by a 7-bit data word address and a high read bit.
The AT24C01 will respond with an acknowledge and then
serially output 8 data bits. The microcontroller does not
respond with a zero but does generate a following stop
condition (refer to Figure 3).
SEQUENTIAL READ: Seq uential read s are initiate d the
same as a byt e rea d. Aft er th e micr ocon troll er rec eives an
8-bit data word, it responds with an acknowledge. As long
as the EEPROM re ceives an acknowledge, it will continue
to incr ement the da ta word addr ess and ser ially cl ock out
sequential d ata words. Whe n the memo ry address limi t is
reached, the data word address will “roll over” and the
sequential read will co ntinue. The sequential read opera-
tion is terminated when the microcontroller does not
respond with an input zero but does generate a following
stop condition (refer to Figure 4).
