2kbit EEPROM ARRAY

Operations on the 2kbit EEPROM Array, consist of either

1, 2 or 3 byte command sequences. All operations on the

EEPROM must begin with the Device Type Identifier of

the Slave Address set to 1010000. A Read or Write to

the EEPROM is selected by setting the LSB of the Slave

Address to the appropriate value R/W (Read = “1”, Write

= ”0”).

In some cases when performing a Read or Write to the

EEPROM, an Address Byte may also need to be speci-

fied. This Address Byte can contain the values 00h to

FFh.

EEPROM Byte Write

In order to perform an EEPROM Byte Write operation to

the EEPROM array, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of

the CONSTAT Register must first be set (See “BL1, BL0:

Block Lock protection bits - (Nonvolatile)” on page 12.)

For a write operation, the X9521 requires the Slave

Address Byte and an Address Byte. This gives the

master access to any one of the words in the array. After

receipt of the Address Byte, the X9521 responds with an

ACKNOWLEDGE, and awaits the next eight bits of data.

After receiving the 8 bits of the Data Byte, it again

responds with an ACKNOWLEDGE. The master then

terminates the transfer by generating a STOP condition,

at which time the X9521 begins the internal write cycle to

the nonvolatile memory (See Figure 11). During this

internal write cycle, the X9521 inputs are disabled, so it

does not respond to any requests from the master. The

SDA output is at high impedance. A write to a region of

EEPROM memory which has been protected with the

Block-Lock

feature

(See

“BL1,

BL0:

Block

Lock

protection bits - (Nonvolatile)” on page 12.), suppresses

the ACKNOWLEDGE bit after the Address Byte.

EEPROM Page Write

In order to perform an EEPROM Page Write operation to

the EEPROM array, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of

the CONSTAT Register must first be set (See “BL1, BL0:

Block Lock protection bits - (Nonvolatile)” on page 12.)

The X9521 is capable of a page write operation. It is initi-

ated in the same manner as the byte write operation; but

instead of terminating the write cycle after the first data

byte is transferred, the master can transmit an unlimited

number of 8-bit bytes. After the receipt of each byte, the

X9521 responds with an ACKNOWLEDGE, and the

address is internally incremented by one. The page

address remains constant. When the counter reaches

the end of the page, it “rolls over” and goes back to ‘0’ on

the same page.

For example, if the master writes 12 bytes to the page

starting at location 11 (decimal), the first 5 bytes are writ-

ten to locations 11 through 15, while the last 7 bytes are

written to locations 0 through 6. Afterwards, the address

counter would point to location 7. If the master supplies

more than 16 bytes of data, then new data overwrites the

previous data, one byte at a time (See Figure 13).

The master terminates the Data Byte loading by issuing

a STOP condition, which causes the X9521 to begin the

nonvolatile write cycle. As with the byte write operation,

all inputs are disabled until completion of the internal

write cycle. See Figure 12 for the address, ACKNOWL-

EDGE, and data transfer sequence.
