2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Philips PCB2421 is a 128 × 8-bit dual mode serial
Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM).
This device is designed for use in applications requiring
storage and serial transmission of configuration and
control information. Two modes of operation have been
implemented: transmit-only mode (DDC1 mode) and
bidirectional mode (DDC2B, or I2C-bus mode). Upon
power-up, the device will be in the transmit-only mode,
sending a serial bitstream of the entire memory array
contents, clocked by the VCLK pin. A valid HIGH-to-LOW
transition on the SCL pin will cause the device to enter the
bidirectional mode, with byte selectable read/write
capability of the memory array. The PCB2421 is available
in a standard 8-pin dual in-line and 8-pin small outline
package operating in a commercial temperature range.
