unconnected, the WC input is internally read as
VIL, and write operations are allowed.
When WC=1, Device Select and Address bytes
are acknowledged, Data bytes are not acknowl-
edged.
Please see the Application Note AN404 for a more
detailed description of the Write Control feature.
DEVICE OPERATION
The memory device supports the I2C protocol.
This is summarized in Figure 4, and is compared
with other serial bus protocols in Application Note
AN1001. Any device that sends data on to the bus
is defined to be a transmitter, and any device that
reads the data to be a receiver. The device that
controls the data transfer is known as the master,
and the other as the slave. A data transfer can only
be initiated by the master, which will also provide
the serial clock for synchronization. The memory
device is always a slave device in all communica-
tion.
Start Condition
START is identified by a high to low transition of
the SDA line while the clock, SCL, is stable in the
high state. A START condition must precede any
data transfer command. The memory device con-
tinuously monitors (except during a programming
cycle) the SDA and SCL lines for a START condi-
tion, and will not respond unless one is given.
Stop Condition
STOP is identified by a low to high transition of the
SDA line while the clock SCL is stable in the high
state. A STOP condition terminates communica-
tion between the memory device and the bus mas-
ter. A STOP condition at the end of a Read
command, after (and only after) a NoAck, forces
the memory device into its standby state. A STOP
condition at the end of a Write command triggers
the internal EEPROM write cycle.
