Pin Description
AT24C01A/02/04/08/16
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 bi-directional for serial data transfer. This pin is
open-drain driven and may be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or open-
collector devices.
DEVICE/PAGE ADDRESSES (A2, A1, A0): The A2, A1 and A0 pins are device
address inputs that are hard wired for the AT24C01A and the AT24C02. As many as
eight 1K/2K devices may be addressed on a single bus system (device addressing is
discussed in detail under the Device Addressing section).
The AT24C04 uses the A2 and A1 inputs for hard wire addressing and a total of four 4K
devices may be addressed on a single bus system. The A0 pin is a no connect.
The AT24C08 only uses the A2 input for hardwire addressing and a total of two 8K
devices may be addressed on a single bus system. The A0 and A1 pins are no
connects.
The AT24C16 does not use the device address pins, which limits the number of devices
on a single bus to one. The A0, A1 and A2 pins are no connects.
WRITE PROTECT (WP): The AT24C01A/02/04/16 has a Write Protect pin that provides
hardware data protection. The Write Protect pin allows normal read/write operations
when connected to ground (GND). When the Write Protect pin is connected to VCC, the
write protection feature is enabled and operates as shown in the following table.

Device Operation
CLOCK and DATA TRANSITIONS: The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an exter-
nal device. Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (refer to
Data Validity timing diagram). Data changes during SCL 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
diagram).
STOP CONDITION: A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition.
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 serially transmitted to and from the
EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a zero to acknowledge that it has
received each word. This happens during the ninth clock cycle.
STANDBY MODE: The AT24C01A/02/04/08/16 features a low-power standby mode
which is enabled: (a) upon power-up and (b) after the receipt of the STOP bit and the
completion of any internal operations.
MEMORY RESET: After an interruption in protocol, power loss or system reset, any 2-
wire part can be reset by following these steps:
1. Clock up to 9 cycles.
2. Look for SDA high in each cycle while SCL is high.
3. Create a start condition.
