... Industrial (I): -40˚C to +85˚C DESCRIPTION The Microchip Technology Inc. 24LC21 is a 128 x 8 bit Electrically Erasable PROM. This device is designed for use in applications requiring storage and serial trans- mission of configuration and control information. Two modes of operation have been implemented: Transmit Only Mode and Bi-Directional Mode ...

... FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The 24LC21 operates in two modes, the Transmit-Only Mode and the Bi-Directional Mode. There is a separate two wire protocol to support each mode, each having a separate clock input and sharing a common data line (SDA). The device enters the Transmit-Only Mode upon power-up ...

... Bi-Direc- tional Mode Clock (SCL), controls access to the bus and generates the START and STOP conditions, while the 24LC21 acts as the slave. Both master and slave can operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master device determines which mode is activated. ...

... The master device must generate an extra clock pulse which is associated with this acknowledge bit. Note: The 24LC21 does not generate any acknowledge bits if an internal program- ming cycle is in progress. The device that acknowledges has to pull down the ...

... A 4.2 Page Write The write control byte, word address and the first data byte are transmitted to the 24LC21 in the same way byte write. But instead of generating a stop condi- X tion the master transmits up to eight data bytes to the 24LC21 which are temporarily stored in the on-chip page buffer and will be written into the memory after the master has transmitted a stop condition ...

... VCLK pin operates as the write protect control pin. Set- ting VCLK high allows normal write operations, while setting VCLK low prevents writing to any location in the array. Connecting the VCLK pin to V 24LC21 to operate as a serial ROM, although this con- figuration would prevent using the device in the Trans- mit-Only Mode. S ...

... Microchip Technology Inc. set. Then the master issues the control byte again but with the R/W bit set to a one. The 24LC21 will then issue an acknowledge and transmits the eight bit data word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but does generate a stop condition and the 24LC21 discon- tinues transmission (Figure 7-2) ...
