FAST-MODE and STANDARD-MODE
FAST-MODE and STANDARD-MODE are of same actions, and mode is changed. They are distinguished by action speeds.
100kHz action is called STANDARD-MODE, and 400kHz action is called FAST-MODE. This action frequency is the maximum
action frequency, so 100kHz clock may be used in FAST-MODE. At Vcc=2.5V5.5V , 400kHz, namely, action is made in
FASTMODE. (Action is made also in STANDARD-MODE.)

I2C BUS communication
I2C BUS data communication
I2C BUS data communication starts by start condition input, and ends by stop condition input. Data is always 8bit long, and
acknowledge is always required after each byte. I2C BUS carries out data transmission with plural devices connected by 2
communication lines of serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL).
Among devices, there are “master” that generates clock and control communication start and end, and “slave” that is
controlled by address peculiar to devices. EEPROM becomes “slave”. And the device that outputs data to bus during data
communication is called “transmitter”, and the device that receives data is called “receiver”.
Start condition (Start bit recognition)
Before executing each command, start condition (start bit) where SDA goes from 'HIGH' down to 'LOW' when SCL is
'HIGH' is necessary.
This IC always detects whether SDA and SCL are in start condition (start bit) or not, therefore, unless this confdition is
satisfied, any command is executed.
Stop condition (stop bit recongnition)
Each command can be ended by SDA rising from 'LOW' to 'HIGH' when stop condition (stop bit), namely, SCL is 'HIGH'
Acknowledge (ACK) signal
This acknowledge (ACK) signal is a software rule to show whether data transfer has been made normally or not. In master
and slave, the device (μ-COM at slave address input of write command, read command, and this IC at data output of read
command) at the transmitter (sending) side releases the bus after output of 8bit data.
The device (this IC at slave address input of write command, read command, and μ-COM at data output of read
command) at the receiver (receiving) side sets SDA 'LOW' during 9 clock cycles, and outputs acknowledge signal (ACK
signal) showing that it has received the 8bit data.
This IC, after recognizing start condition and slave address (8bit), outputs acknowledge signal (ACK signal) 'LOW'.
Each write action outputs acknowledge signal (ACK signal) 'LOW', at receiving 8bit data (word address and write data).
Each read action outputs 8bit data (read data), and detects acknowledge signal (ACK signal) 'LOW'.
When acknowledge signal (ACK signal) is detected, and stop condition is not sent from the master (μ-COM) side, this IC
continues data output. When acknowledge signal (ACK signal) is not detected, this IC stops data transfer, and recognizes
stop cindition (stop bit), and ends read action. And this IC gets in status.
Device addressing
Output slave address after start condition from master.
The significant 4 bits of slave address are used for recognizing a device type. The device code of this IC is fixed to '1010'.
Next slave addresses (A2 A1 A0 --- device address) are for selecting devices, and plural ones can be used on a same bus
according to the number of device addresses.
The most insignificant bit (R/W --- READ / WRITE) of slave address is used for designating write or read action, and is as
shown below.
Setting R / W to 0 ------- write (setting 0 to word address setting of random read)
Setting R / W to 1 ------- read

Write Command
Write cycle
Arbitrary data is written to EEPROM. When to write only 1 byte, byte write is normally used, and when to write continuous data of 2 bytes or
more, simultaneous write is possible by page write cycle. The maximum number of write bytes is specified per device of each capacity. Up to
32 arbitrary bytes can be written. (In the case of BR24A32 / A64-WM)
Data is written to the address designated by word address (n-th address)
By issuing stop bit after 8bit data input, write to memory cell inside starts.
When internal write is started, command is not accepted for tWR (5ms at maximum).
By page write cycle, the following can be written in bulk : Up to 8 bytes ( BR24A01A-WM, BR24A02-WM
: Up to 16bytes (BR24A04-WM, BR24A08-WMBR24A16-WM
: Up to 32bytes (BR24A32-WM, BR24A64-WM
And when data of the maximum bytes or higher is sent, data from the first byte is overwritten.
(Refer to "Internal address increment" of "Notes on page write cycle" in P8/16.)
As for page write cycle of BR24A01A-WM and BR24A02-WM, after the significant 5 bits (4 significant bits in BR24A01A-WM) of word
address are designated arbitrarily, and as for page write command of BR24A04-WM, BR24A08-WM, and BR24A16-WM, after page select
bit (PS) of slave address is designated arbitrarily, by continuing data input of 2 bytes or more, the address of insignificant 4 bits

It does not stand 5ms at maximum × 8byte=40ms(Max.).
Write protect (WP) terminal
Write protect (WP) function
When WP terminal is set Vcc (H level), data rewrite of all addresses is prohibited. When it is set GND (L level), data rewrite
of all address is enabled. Be sure to connect this terminal to Vcc or GND, or control it to H level or L level. Do not use it
open.
At extremely low voltage at power ON / OFF, by setting the WP terminal 'H', mistake write can be prevented.
During tWR, set the WP terminal always to 'L'. If it is set 'H', write is forcibly terminated.

Read Command
Read cycle
Data of EEPROM is read. In read cycle, there are random read cycle and current read cycle.
Random read cycle is a command to read data by designating address, and is used generally.
Current read cycle is a command to read data of internal address register without designating address, and is used when to
verify just after write cycle. In both the read cycles, sequential read cycle is available, and the next address data can be read
in succession.
In random read cycle, data of designated word address can be read.
When the command just before current read cycle is random read cycle, current read cycle (each including sequential read
cycle), data of incremented last read address (n)-th address, i.e., data of the (n+1)-th address is output.
When ACK signal 'LOW' after D0 is detected, and stop condition is not sent from master (μ-COM) side, the next address
data can be read in succession.
Read cycle is ended by stop condition where 'H' is input to ACK signal after D0 and SDA signal is started at SCL signal 'H' .
When 'H' is not input to ACK signal after D0, sequential read gets in, and the next data is output.
Therefore, read command cycle cannot be ended. When to end read command cycle, be sure input stop condition to input
'H' to ACK signal after D0, and to start SDA at SCL signal 'H'.
Sequential read is ended by stop condition where 'H' is input to ACK signal after arbitrary D0 and SDA is started at SCL
signal 'H'.

Software reset
Software reset is executed when to avoid malfunction after power on, and to reset during command input. Software reset has
several kinds, and 3 kinds of them are shown in the figure below. (Refer to Fig.47(a), Fig.47(b), and Fig.47(c).) In dummy
clock input area, release the SDA bus ('H' by pull up). In dummy clock area, ACK output and read data '0' (both 'L' level) may
be output from EEPROM, therefore, if 'H' is input forcibly, output may conflict and over current may flow, leading to
instantaneous power failure of system power source or influence upon devices.
Acknowledge polling
During internal write execution, all input commands are ignored, therefore ACK is not sent back. During internal automatic
write execution after write cycle input, next command (slave address) is sent, and if the first ACK signal sends back 'L', then it
means end of write action, while if it sends back 'H', it means now in writing. By use of acknowledge polling, next command
can be executed without waiting for tWR = 5ms.
When to write continuously, R/W = 0, when to carry out current read cycle after write, slave address R/W = 1 is sent, and if
ACK signal sends back 'L', then execute word address input and data output and so forth.

WP valid timing (write cancel)
WP is usually fixed to 'H' or 'L', but when WP is used to cancel write cycle and so forth, pay attention to the following WP valid
timing. During write cycle execution, in cancel valid area, by setting WP='H', write cycle can be cancelled. In both byte write
cycle and page write cycle, the area from the first start condition of command to the rise of clock to taken in D0 of data(in page
write cycle, the first byte data) is cancel invalid area.
WP input in this area becomes Don't care. Set the setup time to rise of D0 taken SCL 100ns or more. The area from the rise of
SCL to take in D0 to the end of internal automatic write (tWR) is cancel valid area. And, when it is set WP='H' during tWR,
write is ended forcibly, data of address under access is not guaranteed, therefore, write it once again. (Refer to Fig.49.) After
execution of forced end by WP, standby status gets in, so there is no need to wait for tWR (5ms at maximum).
Command cancel by start condition and stop condition
During command input, by continuously inputting start condition and stop condition, command can be cancelled.
(Refer to Fig. 50.)
However, in ACK output area and during data read, SDA bus may output 'L', and in this case, start condition and stop
condition cannot be input, so reset is not available. Therefore, execute software reset. And when command is cancelled by
start, stop condition, during random read cycle, sequential read cycle, or current read cycle, internal setting address is not
determined, therefore, it is not possible to carry out current read cycle in succession. When to carry out read cycle in
succession, carry out random read cycle.

I/O peripheral circuit
Pull up resistance of SDA terminal
SDA is NMOS open drain, so requires pull up resistance. As for this resistance value (RPU), select an appropriate value to this resistance
value from microcontroller VIL, IL, and VOL-IOL characteristics of this IC. If RPU is large, action frequency is limited. The smaller the RPU, the
larger the consumption current at action.
Maximum value of RPU
The maximum value of RPU is determined by the following factors.
(1)SDA rise time to be determined by the capacitance (CBUS) of bus line of RPU and SDA should be tR or below.
And AC timing should be satisfied even when SDA rise time is late.
(2)The bus electric potential A to be determined by input leak total (IL) of device connected to bus at output of 'H' to SDA bus and RPU
should sufficiently secure the input 'H' level (VIH) of microcontroller and EEPROM including recommended noise margin 0.2Vcc.
Minimum value of RPU
The minimum value of RPU is determined by the following factors.
(1)When IC outputs LOW, it should be satisfied that VOLMAX=0.4V and IOLMAX=3mA.
(2)VOLMAX=0.4V should secure the input 'L' level (VIL) of microcontroller and EEPROM including recommended noise margin 0.1Vcc.
VOLMAX V
IL0.1 VCC
Ex. ) When VCC =3V, VOL=0.4V, IOL=3mA, microcontroller, EEPROM VIL=0.3Vcc
from (1)
Therefore, the condition (2) is satisfied.
Pull up resistance of SCL terminal
When SCL control is made at CMOS output port, there is no need, but in the case there is timing where SCL becomes 'Hi-Z', add a pull up
resistance. As for the pull up resistance, one of several kΩ ~ several ten kΩ is recommended in consideration of drive performance of
output port of microcontroller.
A0, A1, A2, WP process
Process of device address terminals (A0,A1,A2)
Check whether the set device address coincides with device address input sent from the master side or not, and select one among plural
devices connected to a same bus. Connect this terminal to pull up or pull down, or Vcc or GND. And, pins (N, C, PIN) not used as device
address may be set to any of 'H' , 'L', and 'Hi-Z'.

Process of WP terminal
WP terminal is the terminal that prohibits and permits write in hardware manner. In 'H' status, only READ is available and WRITE of all
address is prohibited. In the case of 'L', both are available. In the case of use it as an ROM, it is recommended to connect it to pull up or Vcc.
In the case to use both READ and WRITE, control WP terminal or connect it to pull down or GND.

Cautions on microcontroller connection
Rs
In I2C BUS, it is recommended that SDA port is of open drain input/output. However, when to use CMOS input / output of tri
state to SDA port, insert a series resistance Rs between the pull up resistance Rpu and the SDA terminal of EEPROM. This
is controls over current that occurs when PMOS of the microcontroller and NMOS of EEPROM are turned ON simultaneously.
Rs also plays the role of protection of SDA terminal against surge. Therefore, even when SDA port is open drain input/output,
Rs can be used.
Maximum value of Rs
The maximum value of Rs is determined by the following relations.
(1)SDA rise time to be determined by the capacity (CBUS) of bus line of Rpu and SDA should be tR or below.
And AC timing should be satisfied even when SDA rise time is late.
(2)The bus electric potential A to be determined by Rpu and Rs the moment when EEPROM outputs 'L' to SDA bus should
sufficiently secure the input 'L' level (VIL) of microcontroller including recommended noise margin 0.1Vcc.
Minimum value of Rs
The minimum value of Rs is determined by over current at bus collision. When over current flows, noises in power source
line, and instantaneous power failure of power source may occur. When allowable over current is defined as I, the following
relation must be satisfied. Determine the allowable current in consideration of impedance of power source line in set and so
forth. Set the over current to EEPROM 10mA or below.

Notes on power ON
At power on, in IC internal circuit and set, Vcc rises through unstable low voltage area, and IC inside is not completely reset,
and malfunction may occur. To prevent this, functions of POR circuit and LVCC circuit are equipped. To assure the action,
observe the following conditions at power on.
1. Set SDA = 'H' and SCL ='L' or 'H'
2. Start power source so as to satisfy the recommended conditions of tR, tOFF, and Vbot for operating POR circuit.

3. Set SDA and SCL so as not to become 'Hi-Z'.
When the above conditions 1 and 2 cannot be observed, take the following countermeasures.
a) In the case when the above condition 1 cannot be observed. When SDA becomes 'L' at power on .
Control SCL and SDA as shown below, to make SCL and SDA, 'H' and 'H'.
b) In the case when the above condition 2 cannot be observed.
After power source becomes stable, execute software reset(P11).
c) In the case when the above conditions 1 and 2 cannot be observed.
Carry out a), and then carry out b).
Low voltage malfunction prevention function
LVCC circuit prevents data rewrite action at low power, and prevents wrong write. At LVCC voltage (Typ. =1.2V) or below, it
prevent data rewrite.
Vcc noise countermeasures
Bypass capacitor
When noise or surge gets in the power source line, malfunction may occur, therefore, for removing these, it is recommended
to attach a by pass capacitor (0.1μF) between IC Vcc and GND. At that moment, attach it as close to IC as possible.
And, it is also recommended to attach a bypass capacitor between board Vcc and GND.
Cautions on use
(1)Described numeric values and data are design representative values, and the values are not guaranteed.
(2)We believe that application circuit examples are recommendable, however, in actual use, confirm
characteristics further sufficiently. In the case of use by changing the fixed number of external parts, make
your decision with sufficient margin in consideration of static characteristics and transition characteristics
and fluctuations of external parts and our LSI.
(3)Absolute maximum ratings
If the absolute maximum ratings such as impressed voltage and action temperature range and so forth are exceeded, LSI
may be destructed. Do not impress voltage and temperature exceeding the absolute maximum ratings. In the case of fear
exceeding the absolute maximum ratings, take physical safety countermeasures such as fuses, and see to it that conditions
exceeding the absolute maximum ratings should not be impressed to LSI.
(4)GND electric potential
Set the voltage of GND terminal lowest at any action condition. Make sure that each terminal voltage is lower than that of
GND terminal.
(5)Terminal design
In consideration of permissible loss in actual use condition, carry out heat design with sufficient margin.
(6)Terminal to terminal shortcircuit and wrong packaging
When to package LSI onto a board, pay sufficient attention to LSI direction and displacement. Wrong
packaging may destruct LSI. And in the case of shortcircuit between LSI terminals and terminals and power
source, terminal and GND owing to foreign matter, LSI may be destructed.
(7)Use in a strong electromagnetic field may cause malfunction, therefore, evaluate design sufficiently.
